"So where is this party Jean?"

The football player gave a grin and glanced down to Armin, "It's at my place. My parents are out of town, so hardcore partying will ensue. There will be booze and some drugs."

Armin stiffened slightly, that didn't sound like the kind of party he would really enjoy. Jean seemed to have read his mind and gripped the shorter's shoulder gently. "Don't worry man. I'll only be drinking a few beers. No drugs for this one, not with football season in," Jean stuck his tongue out slightly and Armin was quick to notice it was pierced, "Damn drug tests."

The blond gave a shaky laugh, and suddenly his shoulder felt like it was on fire. Jean laughed with him, but it sounded more genuine. The teen removed his hand to pull the keys out for his car. Armin's shoulder suddenly felt cold, and he desperately wanted that warmth back. The teen glanced at Jean, and studied a few details about him. He noticed how his hair seemed to stick out at random angles from his helmet, and how Jean constantly poked at his newly acquired lip piercing.

The sound of the car unlocking caught Armin's attention and he quickly jumped into the passenger side before Jean noticed how he was staring. Jean settled on the driver side and hooked his phone up to the radio, and took a few minutes to pick out a song he wanted to listen to. Armin just stared at his hands in attempt to prevent himself from gawking. It was funny that it was Eren who pointed out Armin's obvious crush. It was funny because even he didn't notice it, but Armin did notice Levi's crush on Eren. It had been upsetting that Eren couldn't see it, and now he and Levi are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Though Armin still manages to catch Levi watching Eren with a certain softness in his eyes. The look is usually there for a second, but Armin has a feeling that he has the same look when he looks at Jean.

Jean was always nice to Armin, and invited him to multiple outings. Of course Armin had always denied them, but today felt different. Today felt like he could get somewhere with Jean. He wanted to get closer to him, and this party might be a chance for that. Jean finally settled on listening to Panic! at the Disco, and started humming along as he backed out his parking spot.

"Ouch! Fuck, damn piercing."

Armin jumped and saw Jean delicately touching his lip. He must've pushed too hard on it. "Hey, Jean why did you get that? Doesn't it bother you during practice and stuff."

Jean shrugged and ran a hand through his dual-tone hair, "Nah, plus I've heard lip rings make making out more fun."

He winked at Armin and gave a laugh before turning out of the school parking lot and heading down the street towards his home. Armin blushed furiously, and his thoughts drifted to what it would be like to kiss Jean with the added lip ring. No, stop thinking about that Armin, he scolded himself. Armin didn't need any problems walking when going to this damned party. Why did he decide to go?

After what felt like forever, Jean pulled up to his house. Teenagers were already blasting bass heavy music and were hanging of the front porch already drunk. "Uh, what time did this party start?"

"Like I know. It's been going on for a day now. People have been coming and going."

"Isn't your house trashed?!"

Jean smirked, "Yeah, but I have a friend that helps clean up occasionally. Plus my folks won't be back in a week. Though I'm calling it quits with the party tonight. I can only take so much before I snap ya know?"

Armin just nodded and followed closely behind Jean as they pushed through a crowd of overly affectionate teens. One of them was already in the others pants and Armin decided it was best to just grab Jean's arm and let him pull him through the party house. They both found their way to the kitchen and Jean was quick to grab the beer that rested on the counter and chugged it down.

He let out a yell, which was responded to by the others around him. The teen looked down at Armin, "C'mon Armin, loosen up a bit. Plus I think my arm might fall off, you're holding it pretty tight."

The blond let go quickly and stepped back, blushing furiously and stumbling over his apology. Jean just waved him off and grabbed another beer, drinking this one more slowly. "Loosen up man! Take a drink," Jean offered him the beer, but Armin put his hands up with a quick no thank you, "Suit yourself, more for me then!"

Jean took another swig, "Well, if you don't want to drink than at least come dance with me. I'm sure we can get some," Another sip, "..girls."

Armin eyed Jean and took note on how the teen scrunched his nose at the word. The blond just nodded, unsure of how badly he would end up dancing and followed Jean to the main room where the music was blasting. Teens were grinding up against each other, and a few girls were trying to get the attention of some boy so they attempted to be sexy. Attempted being more kind than what Armin wanted to think, the girls were stumbling drunkenly and one ended up falling to the floor in a fit of giggles. Armin sighed and continued to follow Jean through the crowd of hormones and sweat.

'I shouldn't even be here,' Armin thought as Jean started to move to the bass, 'Mikasa and Eren would kill me if they knew what was going on here. Plus Jean isn't even going to focus on me, there are all these girls here. I shouldn't have come.'

Armin tried to slip away as a pretty red head moved in on Jean, and he grabbed her waist and started to move in rhythm with her. As soon as Armin turned his back and thought he was in the clear he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Hey, look I really need to g-" Armin was flipped around to reveal a bashfully smiling Jean, "Oh. Hey I really don't think I belong here, Jean. I should really get home."

Jean continued to smile, "That won't be necessary Armin, I did ask you to dance with me."

Armin blushed, "I c-can't dance."

Jean cocked his head and started to drag him back into the crowd, "Don't worry about it. I'll show you what to do."

Armin felt the heat spread to the tip of his ears, "N-no Jean please." 'You have to be drunk there is no way you would do this sober.'

Jean just shook his head and gave a laugh, "Armin just one song and we can leave to a quieter part of the house, yeah?"

The taller teen was suddenly closer and Armin had to look down. He couldn't believe this was happening. Jean suddenly had his hands on Armin as a slower song began to play and some of the people in the room were settling down. Jean moved Armin's hands to rest on his shoulders as he rested his hands on Armin's waist. The blond still couldn't look up, he was in disbelief. A deep chuckle caused him to look up, and Jean took the opportunity to catch Armin's lips in a quick, but sweet kiss. Armin froze and stared in disbelief, his mouth hung open and Jean continued to chuckle. There was a light flush on his features, "Dude I'm not blind, I've seen the way you look at me. It's cool though," Jean leaned closer to Armin's ear, "Feelings mutual."

"But earlier you sai-"

"Sh, I didn't really mean it. Plus you just look so cute flustered," Jean pulled away to look Armin in the eye, "Oh and I'm not drunk if you're wondering. I've only had two beers."

Jean gave a wink and Armin just continued to dance with him in disbelief.


A/N: Yo Armin/Jean chapter. Don't worry I will try to get the Levi/Eren chapter out soon, and a Mikasa chapter will probably come later, but in a different setting.
