AN: Oh my goodness, Reiner's advice is terrible! It was so fun to write it XD I can only hope that Jean doesn't need any more tips from him… though knowing him, he probably will :D I've noticed that I tend to switch from First Person POV to Third Person sometimes… Please let me know if this bothers any of you readers, I just find it easier depending of different scenarios to write like that :/
Thank you all for your reviews on the previous chapters, they really mean a lot to me and encourage me to keep writing! And don't forget, the replies to reviews are now on the bottom of the chapter to keep the chapter looking tidier :)
In the meantime, enjoy the story!
It was a dark and stormy night…
I sighed as I looked out the window of the boys dormitory.
I had planned to go out and find that horse I saw several nights ago, though the constant rain has made it impossible.
I doubt I'll find it again though, it's probably gone back to its owner. I may as well forget all about it then.
I climbed up the ladder to get to my bunk bed above Armin's.
"Hey Armin, you awake?" I hung my head over the edge of my bed, looking down at Armin below.
"Kinda, what do you want?" Armin yawned back to me.
"Do you think Mikasa really likes Jean? I mean, he is such a jerk and has nothing to offer her! And I swear I thought him and Marco were a thing."
"I don't know, why don't you ask her yourself? And I doubt Jean and Marco were ever together, I'm pretty sure it was Connie who started that rumor."
"I guess I'll ask her, I just can't stand seeing him hanging around her, I even saw them holding hands the other day!"
"Eren, it's only been a week since he's asked her out. They are allowed to hold hands if they want to, though I must say it is rather strange of Mikasa to do that, she was never one for showing any sort of affection. Maybe it's a good thing? Either way, I really want to sleep."
"Yeah I guess. Good night then."
It had now been three weeks since Eren's conversation with Armin, but the angsty teen was still no more comfortable about the situation than he was when he was first told.
Jean wasn't really getting more comfortable with the situation either…
It was had been almost one month since Jean asked Mikasa out, so he decided to take her out on a special date.
It had been really lovely; he had taken her out to a picnic and even brought her flowers!
All was going well, when Jean decided to kiss her. He looked at her beautiful face and leaned closer, his lips about to touch hers when she decided to speak.
"What are you doing?" She deadpanned at him.
"Uh, what do you mean? I just thought that, you know, since we've been going out for a month now it would be okay to have our first kiss?"
"Why would I want to kiss you?" She asked me, her angelic head tilting to the side slightly.
"Uhh because why not?" What the hell is she talking about? Does she not like me? Should I have not tried to kiss her in the first place?
"I see no purpose in it, is it normal for people to kiss when they are dating?"
"I'm pretty sure it's normal… I think…?" What the hell is wrong with this woman, does she really not know why people kiss?!
"Tell me Mikasa, do you really not know why people kiss?" Jean asked the raven haired beauty in front of him.
"No, not really. I personally find it quite disgusting that people would want to put their lips together."
"It really isn't disgusting…"
"No, it is. I saw this couple in town the other day, and they were kissing. It was disgusting watching them. And their mouths were open for some reason. It looked more like they were Titans trying to devour one another."
Well great, I happen to have scored a girlfriend who thinks kissing is disgusting…
"Not all kissing is like that, and I agree, it can be kinda gross I guess when you see people kissing like that in public."
"Yeah it's gross."
"I made egg sandwiches, want to try one?" She asked me, holding out a plate of food.
Okay so kissing is out of the question. Great.
AN: I hope you enjoy this chapter :) Don't forget to review! ^_^
Replies to reviews:
annavale23: I know, poor Jean XD I am enjoying doing this to him waaaayyy too much :D
Humble (guest): Haha yes Jean is very much full of himself, hopefully Mikasa can drill some humility into him (as if that would happen!)
Tenshoru: Oh yes, Reiner's dating advice is top notch. I have no idea why Jean went to Reiner in the first place… maybe I should write about that XD And you are welcome, I personally can't stand relationships that accelerate way too quickly so I wanted this to be as realistic (sorta) as possible.
OnyeezU: Oh yes, only Mikasa :D I felt really sorry for Jean during that moment, but I couldn't help but laugh as I imagined his face when she said that :D
