Jean was out taking a walk through the giant trees on his own. Marco had used hand gestures to tell him to leave for a while. It was not the first time the taller titan did this in their month together. That is why he knew what the other was doing. It made no sense that Marco would make him go away while he bathed in the pond, nor the other leaving when he did the same thing. It was not like they were not already naked around each other the rest of the time. They did not have anything to hide either anymore. Marco was just being weird he guessed. Oh well. At least those adorable freckles will stand out more with the layer of dirt gone by the time he went back.
He spotted a mindless titan, a seven meter wondering the forest as well. Jean felt anger seeing it, remembering one had entered his and Marco's home. Never again did he want to see these things near the other again. The best way to do that was to kill them all. A good place to start was clearing out the forest. Jean balled up his giant hands, making use of the extra thick skin on his hands. They were perfect for taking out the titans, and it felt so right to do it. The monsters blood covered him before it could evaporate. Jean let out all of his rage for a good long minute before destroying the nape of the neck.
Once he made sure the titans body was completely gone, Jean kept going on his walk. He kind of hoped to run in to even more titans now. Even though he is no longer human, part of him still wanted to help humanity. This made him wonder what would happen to him and Marco though if humans did start making a real comeback against titans? He did not want his friend or himself to die again, but he did not want to harm is old comrades either. If they see him attack another titan, they might think he is like Eren and accidentally kill him while trying to get a human body out of his neck. The only way to survive would be to out run the horses and Jeager to. Oh damn, what if he was forced into a fight with that jackass? His old comrade was better at hand to hand combat then himself. The hard floor of the mess hall was a reminder of that. Perhaps he needed to pick up on training again. He and Marco could spar, that way they both will be ready, just in-case the worst comes true. Jean sat down on a fallen giant tree thinking about all things that could go wrong now.
We need to make some sort of defense. I do not want to be caught off guard by the survey corps. Got to keep them and the titans away. Damn it, when did everyone become our enemies? The rest of the world really is against me and Marco.
Jean looked at the fallen tree he is sitting on. Maybe he could use it. The walls kept titans away from the humans, so perhaps a wall could keep them away from his home to. That might just attract the scouts though. A wall of wood where no one intelligent should be, yeah that would catch any persons curiosity. It was the only thing he could think of though. The plan was better than nothing. Jean got up, picking up a couple of the really large broken branches from when the tree fell. They would make a good start, but he would need Marco's help getting more to surround their home.
Marco's skin shined in the sun light; squeaky clean by the time Jean dragged the branches back. The taller titan tilted his head watching Jean. He let out a huff noticing that the other was so much dirtier then when he had left. There was even some tree sap sticking to his skin now. That idiot.
Jean laid a branch down, blocking of the way between two of the giant trees and then placed the 2nd one on top of it to make it so it would be awkward stepping over it. Jean put his hand on Marco's shoulder to show he wanted to tell him something. Marco watched as the other pointed to the two stacked logs, then pointed in a circle around their pond. He let out a sigh getting the other wanted walls. That was all fine and dandy, but... Marco removed Jean's hand from his shoulder revealing the dirty giant hand print.
The taller titan pointed to the pond with a stern look at Jean. The other just pouted at that. He had dirty work to do now and he would just have to bath again later when they were done. Jean shook his head, but Marco did not let up his stern stare. Now was the battle as old as time, the pout verses the stern eyes. Jean is not cute enough to pull off the pout though and eventually lost the battle, hanging his head and stepping into the water that steamed up as his hot body entered it.
Marco did not like to watch others bath, but he did not trust Jean to actually wash himself properly. Instead he crossed his arms and watched the silhouette threw the steam. This reminded him of the bath house back at trainee camp. The water was hot so there was plenty of steam back then to. In their first year of training, Marco had accidentally bumped into Jean while they were both trying to get in the large bath all the boys had to share. That was the first time the taller boy had felt his lower body react and his heart flutter. It embarrassed Marco so much he could not go back to the bath house while Jean was there ever again. Right now though at the pond, his body's only reaction was the rapid beating heart.
Once Jean was finished scrubbing himself off, he got out of the water. He made sure to cup some in his giant hands though before going to Marco and dumping it on his shoulder, washing away the hand print.

I do take requests for what kind of cute thing titan jean and titan marco can do next. This still might become a bigger story instead of just fluffness in future... especially if I run out of cute ideas. Then it might get sad... i need more cute ideas.
