Ten Steps at a Time

by Kikiwannabanana

Hi this is a fanfic I wrote when I was 16 in 2015. I'm now 21 and got into talking about JeanMarco with the people who are close to me nowadays and decided to revive this. It's a modern art college au JeanMarco fanfiction. I hope you enjoy, and please go easy on me for the writing. This was 6 years ago hehe. Also TW for EDs, just in case.

32. Ten Steps at a Time CH 20 (Jean)

That Saturday afternoon, Marco told me to hang out with Connie and I just smirked, already knowing what this was. I had to act like I was surprised, at least a little, though, when we walked into the commons building, Connie nearly died. He fell and everyone cracked up when he did. "Oh my God!" Connie exclaimed from the floor. "Calm the fuck down!" I exclaimed, laughing my ass off. "Did you already know about this or some shit, horsey?!" Connie exclaimed. I just kept laughing. "Why didnt you freak out?" I helped Connie up then said, "Y'know a horse's dick can grow to be-" "Shut up! I dont want to hear how big your dick is!" Connie exclaimed, walking over to everyone to give them hugs. Suddenly, Sasha bounded over to me and gave me a hug. "No!" I exclaimed, ducking away from her. "Oh that's how it's going to be?!" Sasha exclaimed back. "Yep!" I said, heading away from her. "Jean wont let me hug him, Reiner!" Sasha said. "JEAN!" Reiner yelled, "Come HERE!" Oh shit. "Do not hug me!" I exclaimed. Reiner kept coming towards me. Marco suddenly came out of nowhere and hugged me close to him, "I got this, Reiner!" He exclaimed. Reiner just jogged over and hugged both of us. "Urg!" I exclaimed, "My organs!" Marco looked like he was in just as much pain but he didnt make any sound. "I love you guys!" Reiner exclaimed. "Yeah...!" Marco strained, "Love you too... Let go now please... My back is cracking...!" Reiner put us down and we breathed a sigh of relief as he ruffled out hair and headed away. Marco took in a deep breath. "Thanks." I said to him. He smiled at me and kissed me softly once. I smiled back, "Your kisses are so sweet. Have I ever told you that?" I asked. He turned red and shook his head a bit, smiling wider, "No but thank you... I feel like you give the best kisses, though." I smirked and rolled my eyes, "Sure. Whatever." Marco nuzzled his nose against mine. "Stop kissing!" Eren exclaimed. I smirked and headed back over to the group, pulling Marco along. "Thank you guys for doing this." I said, "I thought you'd forgotten for a while there." "We'd never forget." Mikasa reassured. I smiled and nodded, "Thanks. I dont want to complain or whatever but..." Everyone looked at me, "Why the fuck do I have to share my party with the monkey?" I asked, pointing at Connie. Everyone laughed. "Hey!" Connie exclaimed, but he was laughing too. I grinned at him. I could have gotten drunk. But I didn't. I had a drink but I didn't get drunk. Instead, I talked with Marco and my friends. I was slowly realizing that these people who I'd met in college, Reiner and Bertholdt, Annie, Ymir and Christa, that they were just as much friends of mine as my high school squad and Marco. While we were all sitting around, Annie suddenly asked "Jean did you see the latest People magazine?" She was flipping through said magazine I shook my head, raising an eyebrow, "I dont read it. Why? What's in it?" "You." She said, "There's an article over Coirtney in it and the fashion department has a picture of you." I groaned a bit and she handed me the magazine, with the fashion department page open. There was a picture of me in Katty's outfit. "It's always me wearing that!" I exclaimed. "Those were the best pictures." Mikasa said, "The other ones were great but those ones were the best." "By the way," Marco said. I looked at him, "You look great in those jeans." He said, smiling at me. I was wearing those low rise baggy jeans today with the white undershirt and my Pink Floyd hoodie. I smiled, "Thanks." "Why did you decide to wear those today of all days?" Sasha asked, raising an eyebrow, obviously suspicious about how much I actually knew about this "surprise party." "Because it's the weekend and if I wore them on a class day, everyone would be going insane about it. I didnt think I'd have to see you motherfuckers today." Sasha died laughing. "Pff! Well thanks!" Reiner exclaimed. I grinned. "Does that include Marco?" Connie asked. "No." I said, "Marco is the only peice of shit I want to see one a daily basis." Marco leaned over and kissed my cheek. I smirked softly. "You're sweet." He said. "Marco!" Ymir exclaimed, "He just called you a 'peice of shit'!" Marco just laughed and shrugged, hugging me close to him. I grinned, "He doesnt care. He knows I love him." "I do." Marco agreed, "It's okay. That's just how he is." "Mhm." I agreed, "If he couldnt handle it, I dont think we would have even been friends." I said. Marco nodded. "Which reminds me." I said, "Thanks for putting up with all my shit. All of you." Everyone scoffed and waved it off. "When you're friends with someone, you do that." Bertholdt said. I nodded, "Yeah but you could be shit friends and not do that. But you do." "It's true but you put up with our shit, too." Eren said, "Like when my dad left. You were there." I smiled and nodded, "Well yeah. Of course. That was a given." I said. "See?" He continued, "It's a given for us, too, that we'd help you." "Actually, I'm kind of jealous that Marco got to deal with the end of some of your daddy issues." Connie said. Marco laughed softly, "Please don't be. It wasn't fun." "Yeah but it must have been satisfying to hear him say that he was going to try." Connie pointed out. I half smiled and nodded, "Yeah... It was." "Let's play Never Have I Ever! Like from our high school parties." Eren suggested. I laughed, "Yeah!" "How many fingers?" Bert asked. "Ten!" I exclaimed. Everyone held up ten fingers, "Marco you start." I looked at him and he smiled softly. "Um..." He said, "Never have I ever... Done modeling." He stuck his tongue out at me. "Oh I see how this is going to be." I said, putting down a finger. Christa, Annie, and Connie all put down a finger. "The fuck? Connie?" Everyone laughed. "Remember? I did it last year for those awesome light up glasses?" "Oh yeah!" I exclaimed, "Okay. Now I'm going. Never have I ever had shitloads of freckles." Marco laughed and put down a finger and so did Ymir. "Sorry, Ymir." I said. She smirked and rolled her eyes. "Never have I ever..." Armin started, "Run into a glass door or window." Almost everyone put a finger down, including both Marco and myself. I laughed, "Even you?" I asked Marco. Marco nodded, "Yeah. It wasnt fun. Sometimes the windows are too clean."

Marco and I left to go to our dorm at around midnight. The party was nowhere near done, but Marco and I were. Everyone had given me the presents they were saving, except for Marco. And I dumped all of them onto the floor next to my bed along with my Pink Floyd hoodie. Marco laughed at that. I grinned then Marco went into the closet. "Goddamn. You always keep presents in the closet." I said. He laughed softly then pulled out a pleather material jacket that was white and green and had "Jean-icorn" on the back of it, along with a middle finger. I laughed and grabbed it, "Holy shit! This is amazing! Best fucking boyfriend ever!" I exclaimed, pulling it on. "How does it look? Awesome?" I asked. Marco smiled and nodded, stepping over to me and pulling me close by my waist. I smiled softly and kissed him gently. He kissed me back and it soon became heated. I pulled off my new jacket and set it on my bed as Marco gently nibbled on my neck and pulled me closer by my belt loops. "Y'know you look really good in these jeans..." He said softly. I half smiled, "Yeah... I know you like them..." "You wanna do anything...?" He asked me. I sighed softly. I knew what I wanted to do. I was nervous but I wanted to. "Let's... Go all the way..." I said. Marco pulled away from my neck and locked eyes with me, "Are you sure?" He asked me with knitted eyebrows. I nodded, "I'm nervous but I want to..." Marco nodded slightly, "It will feel good, okay? Not at first... But it will eventually, alright?" He reassured me. I nodded, "Alright... I'll be okay... I trust you..." Marco smiled and kissed me, our tongues intertwining. He pulled me closer again by my belt loops and held onto them to keep me in one place. He kissed along my neck and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "Y'know... Eren and Connie were talking like I'd be the one topping..." I breathed. Marco chuckled into my neck, "Did they tell you I wasnt a virgin...?" I nodded and Marco sucked under my ear, coaxing a little noise out of me. He suddenly picked me up. "Hah?" I exclaimed. He then threw me down onto his own bed and crawled over me. I half smiled and he leaned in, kissing me passionately. "Mmh..." I hummed softly. He pulled away with a suck on my bottom lip. I tugged on the bottom of his shirt and he pulled it over his head, smiling softly and throwing it aside. I slid my index finger down his stomach. He kissed and licked at my neck, pressing his knee against my arousal. I gasped as he rolled his knee gently. "Mm..." He breathed, sliding his hands up my sides, under my shirt. I felt him thumb softly at my nipples. I jolted slightly and let out a breath. He pulled my shirt off and I immediately felt self conscious. I mean, he'd seen me without a shirt before. But the way he was studying my body felt different than before. He leaned in and gently sucked on one of my nipples, thumbing at the other. I let out a soft groan and he smiled softly. He licked in a circle at the skin and I laced my fingers into his hair. He sat back on his knees which caused my fingers to slide out of his soft locks. He reached down, undoing the button and zipper on my jeans then pulling them down and off, dropping them onto the floor. "Hng..." I sighed as he pulled them off of me. "Woah..." He said, noticing my lack of underwear. My face got hotter than it already was. "Y-Yeah..." I replied. "I mean... I wanted to get this out..." He slid a finger up my length and my legs jolted slightly along with something else. "Hah..." He wrapped his fingers around my arousal. "But..." He continued, "I didnt think it'd be so soon... Why arent you wearing underwear...?" "I f-figured they'd look better without my baggy b-boxers underneath..." "Dont you own a pair of breifs?" He asked softly. I nodded, "But those are for formal events..." Marco laughed softly, "Jean... You're dorky and I love you..." He praised. I half smiled and he pressed his thumb against the slit. "Ah..." I sighed. Marco milked me slowly a few times, coaxing sounds out of me. Then he undid the button fly on his jeans and pulled them off along with his underwear, tossing the clothes onto the floor. "You know you're really sexy, right...?" He suddenly said to me, placing his hands on my inner thighs and slowly spreading them apart. I moaned and my face got extremely hot. Marco slid his warm hands along my legs. Then he placed himself between them. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as we kissed lovingly. I felt his arms snake around my torso and I sighed contently into his mouth. Suddenly, his hips rolled into mine and I shivered, moaning into his mouth. Our erections slid together slowly, over and over again. I heard a low sound emit from his throat. Marco suddenly pulled away from the kiss and stopped his movements. I whined in protest and he just smiled softly and reached over to his side table. I raised an eyebrow as he pulled out a bottle of liquid and a condom. "Are you serious? You fucking had that?" I exclaimed. The brunette above me laughed and looked at me as he closed the drawer and resumed his position. "Yes I did." He admitted, "I had to. You werent going to stay a virgin forever." It suddenly hit me. I knew it should have earlier but I didnt think... Marco noticed the expression on my face and he knitted his eyebrows together, "Hey... Are you okay...?" He asked. I nodded, "Yeah... Just... I'm gonna lose my virginity..." Marco was quiet, "D-Do you not want to...?" "No no!" I exclaimed, "It's just... A weird shock, I guess... This might be a bad time but... How did you lose yours'?" Marco blinked then smiled softly at me, "I lost it during the summer between my junior and senior years of highschool... He wasnt a good guy... I cant even remember his name... We were together for around two months... I mean, I was ready to lose it... I was okay... It's just that after it happened, he expected to do it a lot... Any way you can lose your virginity, I did to him..." I nodded slightly, "Right... Well... Hey... I'm really glad that I'm losing mine to you... I trust you..." Marco smiled wide, "I'm honored to take it..." I smirked, "Dork..." He laughed softly and leaned in, kissing me lovingly for a few more moments, before he leaned back. "Can you put your legs...?" He patted his shoulder. I sighed softly, "We'll see..." I said, lifting my legs up and resting them on either one of my boyfriend's shoulders. He smiled, "Good job." He praised, putting the condom down next to him and opening up the liquid. I sighed shakily as I watched Marco slick up his fingers. He then twisted back on the top and set it aside. "Okay..." He said gently, "I want you to relax..." I nodded slightly, trying my best to do so. I felt him rub gently at the ring of flesh down there. "Un..." I sighed, tensing up. "Relax..." He soothed. I relaxed slowly. But tensed up immensly when I felt his finger plunge in. It hurt. Bad. "Shiitt..." I hissed. "I know..." He said, his eyebrows knitted together. He gently moved his finger in and out, trying to get me used to the feeling. "Kh...!" I covered my mouth with my hand and Marco curled his finger. "Ohh Godd..." I gripped the sheets with my free hand. "Are you okay...?" He asked. "Hurts..." I strained. "I'm sorry..." He said. It was stinging and my legs were hurting, too. This was not pleasant. But I wasnt going to give up. I just had to stick it out. I trusted him. I took a deep and shaky breath, trying to loosen up. He suddenly pushed in a second finger and I nearly screamed. "Kgaah!" I exclaimed, my eyes starting to water. "I'm sorry..." Marco said, rubbing my leg with his warm free hand. He stopped moving the two digits inside me and I slowly got used to the feeling. "G-God..." I breathed. "Are you okay?" Marco asked. I nodded slightly. He then started slowly scissoring and curling his fingers. Which hurt, but not as terribly as before. "Fuckk t-this feels weird..." I breathed. "I know..." Marco replied, "It'll get better..." He was right. The pain was slowly being replaced by pleasure. Not huge amounts, but it felt better. I felt a third finger enter me. "G-Goddamn how many fucking fingers do you need to shove in me...?" I complained. Marco laughed softly, "Even if it's too much, I'd rather you be over prepared than under..." I sighed softly as my boyfriend continued his movements. Now it felt good. I let out a breathy moan and heard Marco chuckle slightly. His fingers pressed around my walls, like he was searching. "... W-What're you doin'...?" I questioned. He just smiled dazzlingly at me. This guy was a grade-A ass when he wanted to be. Suddenly, a huge jolt of the most amazing pleasure I've ever felt in my life shot through me. I gasped, feeling my toes curl and my stomach tighten. "Ohhh holy fuuckk..." I moaned. "There it is..." Marco breathed. Well, I guessed that my boyfriend had successfully figured out how to completely ruin me, in the best of ways. Warm fingers rubbed against that spot inside me again, making me moan. I panted softly as the fingers pulled out of me. I immediately missed the contact. Locking eyes with Marco, I could see how much he wanted this. His pupils were blown wide with lust and he was flushing furiously. He smiled at me softly then ripped open the condom, rolling it onto himself. Then he slicked himself with lube and I noticed, with satisfaction, the breathy sounds he made as he did so. I was starting to get nervous again when he pulled my legs down from his shoulders. I sighed shakily and wrapped them around his waist. Marco steadied himself above me, then moved his gaze to my face, "Are you ready...?" He asked. Shit. I nodded. "Tell me if you need me to do anything or stop, okay...?" He was so fucking sweet. Goddammit. I nodded again. And that was it. My freckled lover held my hips firmly and pushed against my hole gently. My heart raced. Then he plunged in, not stopping. I gasped, gripping onto his wrists. It hurt. It was not like his fingers. He didnt stop until he was completely sheathed inside me, the both of us panting. He locked eyes with me and I could tell he was resisting the urge to just start moving. "A-Are you alright...?" He sighed. I gulped, letting out a strained sound, "I-I dont k-know... H-Hurts..." Marco nodded in response, understanding, then he peeled a hand off of one of my hips and slid his fingers through my hair. I let his wrists go and snaked my arms around his neck. "You're doing really great, Jean..." He praised. I half smiled, feeling the pain subside. "You just tell me when you're ready..." I nodded, "I-I am..." He smiled softly and pulled his hand out of my locks, resting his arms on either side of my body. He then rolled his hips gently, experimenting. It coaxed a soft moan out of him and a quiet strained noise out of me. He started rolling his hips in a slow rhythm. "Uhhk..." I managed, lacing my fingers into his soft hair. It started feeling good soon after that and I felt my muscles slowly loosening up. "Hahh..." I moaned quietly. I felt Marco pull out slightly then plunge back in, beginning a new rhythm that was quicker. He groaned and started paying attention to my neck. "Ahh..." I sighed as his hips rolled his dick up into me. He sucked on my neck, letting out little noises now and then. "F-Feel good...?" He breathed into my neck. "Yeah..." I sighed. "Tell me if I'm being too rough..." He said, picking up the pace and pulling out farther than before in order to start slapping softly into me. I groaned slightly, my legs shaking, rolling my hips in time with his'. "Hnm..." He moaned, "You're t-taking me so nicely..." He flicked his hips particularly well and hit that part inside of me. I gasped shakily and moaned loudly, my toes curling again and my back arching. "Ahhaa right there ohhh fuckk..." I panted. He chuckled softly and started hitting that spot over and over again. I opened my mouth in a silent scream as he pounded into me. He groaned and bit at a spot on my neck. "Ohhh shhhiiittt..." I moaned. He sucked softly on my neck then licked at it before sitting back slightly. My arms fell from his neck and he gripped onto my hips, stopping them from moving. I held onto the sheets, preparing myself. He started a fast and hard pace, slamming into my sweet spot every time. I let out a loud moan, my back arching. I wasnt able to move my hips but it felt good. This had to have been the best feeling I had ever experienced. His balls slapped against my ass and the bed creaked softly. "Ahhh fuuckkk...!" I exclaimed. "Haahh... I didnt... Expect you to... Last this long..." Marco moaned. I didnt either. But I felt awesome for lasting. "Godd it feels soo good..." I breathed, feeling saliva sliding down the corner of my mouth. "You look so good..." Marco said, "So hot... You love this, huh...? The way you're sucking me in... Ohh yess..." My dick twitched. I didnt take Marco as being the type to talk dirty but... It was sexy. He picked up the pace again. I started panting as his dick fucked my sweet spot. "Ahhh oh God plleeaase! Ohhfuckkyess!" I exclaimed. I rolled my hips and he let me, letting out a groan. I couldnt help but pant harder. The bed creaked louder. "Ohh Jeann... Your so pretty... Taking in my cock... You like that, huh...?" I moaned loudly. "Fuck yeahh!" I exclaimed. He reached over and pulled my legs over his shoulders, effectively allowing him to aim better. "AhhhhhFUCK!" I exclaimed, "Uh! Marccoo ohh shitt! Your so good!" Marco moaned loudly at that. I felt my stomach tighten up. "Wreck me, Marcoo!" I exclaimed. He pounded roughly into me. "Fuckimunacummm!" I yelled, panting and moaning. I was on the brink of my orgasm, when he stopped moving completely. "Kkkghhh...!" I spluttered, shaking, "F-Fuuckkk...! Ahhh fuckk...!" I locked eyes with the brunette above me and he was panting very hard, looking sexy as fuck. He slid a hand up one of my legs. "Oh God please, Marco..." He leaned in and we kissed wetly, my right leg sliding down off of his shoulder and hooking into the crook of his elbow. I snaked my arms around his neck. When he pulled away, I panted softly, sticking my tongue out slightly. "I'm doing this so it'll feel better when you come..." He said. I nodded slightly. I knew why he stopped and I knew my orgasm was going to be explosive now. I groaned as he leaned in again, sucking on my tongue and keeping his eyes locked on mine. He rolled his hips in an even pattern against my sweet spot. "Haahh..." I breathed. His tongue slipped into my mouth and we kissed roughly. Then he started slapping into me quickly and I felt my orgasm bubbling up again. But this time it felt stronger. I let out moans into my boyfriend's mouth and he made noises of his own. Then he pulled away from the kiss, giving my tongue one last suck, a string of saliva connecting our lips. I felt him grip my dick, milking it roughly as he pounded into me. I panted hard, closing my eyes and feeling them roll into the back of my head. My back arched widely and I gripped onto my boyfriend hard. "H-hhhaaahh-AH! UHHH!" I sobbed loudly as intense white hot pleasure rolled over my body in massive waves, my legs quaking and my hips rolling to meet Marco's. "F-Fuckk yess!" I cried out. My cum shot onto my stomach and on the bed slightly. "Nhh... Jeaann..." Marco sighed softly into my ear as he continued his quick pace. "Hhh-Uh!" I moaned. Then I heard Marco's breath hitch and he suddenly let out a long, loud moan as he pounded into me, eventually slowing down. His hips continued to roll into mine, "Hnnahh..!" He exclaimed. Then he stuttered to a halt, letting out a couple more soft moans. We were both panting and sweating. I realized that Marco still had my dick in his hand when he slid his hand up it slightly and I twitched in the aftershock. He rolled his hips once more then pulled out, sitting up and letting my legs drop onto the bed. He sighed softly and pulled off the condom then tied it up and tossed it into the trashcan next to the bed.

"God..." I panted softly. Marco leaned down and gently licked my cum off of my stomach. I sighed softly as I tried to even out my breath. "Mm..." I hummed. Marco chuckled and rolled over next to me when he was done, pulling the comforter over us. "I'm gonna be sore..." I said. "I know..." Marco agreed. "But that was fucking amazing." I said, kissing him once. He laughed softly and smiled, "I'm glad you liked it..." He pulled me closer to him by my waist. "You were so pretty..." He said, "I mean, you still are... But, God..." I half smiled. "You were so loud..." He said. I laughed softly, "Sorry..." He shook his head, "As long as you're okay with yelling, I'm okay with it..." "Man... Y'think everyone heard?" I asked. "Well, everyone in this hall probably did." Marco responded, nuzzling his nose against mine. I laughed slightly, "Yeah... Probably... Goddammit." Marco laughed softly and I half smiled. He was so perfect and gorgeous... He was my favorite person by far... I put a hand on the side of his face and he locked eyes with me, smiling wide. We were quiet. "I love you so much..." I said. Marco leaned in and kissed me once softly, "I love you, too..." "I dont think you understand." I responded. Marco's smiled faded and he just looked confused now. I laughed softly, "You're the best person in my life... I dont even know how I fucking lived before you showed up... I am so grateful for everything you've done for me and put up with for me. I dont deserve you but I'm not complaining... You're amazing... Your eyes, your freckles, your lips, the way your nose scrunches up when you're confused, like right now... And, guess what? Even though that scar is fading from that stuff you've been using on it... I think it makes you ten times sexier... I couldnt even ask for anyone more perfect because I'm pretty sure they dont exist... You're so caring and patient and giving and beautiful and oh my God I would do anything for you and I really want to be able to have more oppourtunities to do things for you because you deserve it... You're an amazing artist and you're going to be so famous and I'm dating you..." "Are you proposing to me or something?" Marco asked, very red. I laughed softly and leaned in, kissing his nose, "No... I just want you to know how important you are to me..." He smiled, "Jean... You're important to me, too... You act like there's only one person being influenced in a good way from this relationship..." I smirked, "The fuck? How have I influenced you in a good way?" "Well..." He started, "You've taught me that I dont need to be stressed about everything... That people need to have space in order to figure things out... And how to be realistic. Your opinions may not be the most popular among our class but they're the most deep and realistic ones... And they're the most popular among me. Plus... You've really shown me how strong people can be... I used to think that weak people can only be weak... When, in fact, weak people can become strong... You are strong... That night during Spring Break when I said you're weak... You were never weak... You told your dad that you and I were dating... And you always had that strength in you. You're so strong." I was going to cry. Marco laughed softly, "Aww... Jean." He said, reaching over to wipe my tears away. I slapped his hand away, "Get the fuck away!" I exclaimed. "But I havent even said what I like about your beautiful face..." He said. "No!" I turned away from him and he laughed, pulled me close to him again. My back pressed against his chest. "You're really handsome..." He began. I sighed softly, "I love your body structure... You're seriously like a model, especially recently when you've looked more healthy... Your face is a great shape and your eyes are so pretty, Jean. They're the prettiest shape and color. And your nose may not be round but I still think it's the cutest thing. I'm also obsessed with your half smile. Your lips make the cutest shapes. Your blush spreads to your ears, which is the best thing I have ever seen... And when it comes to the type of guy I like, the jawline is a big thing. It has to be as sharp as a butcher knife. And guess what you have?" I snickered softly, "A jawline that can cut your face?" Marco nodded slightly, nuzzling his face into my hair, "Mhm... And y'know what else I think is attractive...? Your peircings. They make you look so sexy and rugged..." I laughed slightly, "Oh really?" "Mhm!" He replied. I smirked, "You have a fucking bellybutton peircing..." "Yeah but-" "Yeah but it's sexy." I cut him off. He laughed softly. "And you have two tattoos, Marco. You're sexy as fuck. I'm just fucking white boy trash. At least you look somewhat exotic." Marco laughed, "What?!" He exclaimed, "I do not!" "Marco your skin is tan, your hair is a gorgeous brown color, and your lips are full, you have the best body ever, you-" "Okay okay." He cut me off. We were silent... "I love you." He said. I smiled softly, "I love you, too..." We talked for a few more minutes then I drifted off.

When I woke up the next morning, oh my fucking God my ass, my legs, my back, my neck, my arms, my shoulders. Everything hurt! I was so fucking achy that I could barely even roll over. But when I let out a strained noise, I realized that Marco was already awake when I felt his hand rub my arm. "Hey... You okay...?" He said softly. "Fuck I'm in a shit ton of pain..." I breathed. "I'm sorry..." Marco said. "It's fine..." I replied, "I just... Need a shower. That'll help." Marco nodded, "Need help getting up?" "Yep." I said. He stood, pulling on his underwear and jeans from the night before. Then he went over and grabbed a towel. I sat up, my back cracking loudly. "Shit... Didja hear that?" I said. Marco nodded and came over to me, helping me up. I grabbed the towel and wrapped it around my waist, "Thanks..." I said. He handed me a washcloth. "I should probably shower, too..." He said. I smirked, "You should come in the same shower with me." I teased. He laughed, "Jean..." I stuck my tongue out of the corner of my mouth and leaned in, kissing him softly once. Marco grabbed a towel and washcloth of his own then the two of us headed out into the hallway. "Oh my God my legs are dying..." I groaned. "I'm really sorry." I shook my head, "Stop apologizing. It's fine." He nodded, "Right." "Marco you're beautiful!" Someone yelled from down the hall. We both stopped and Marco looked behind him with wide eyes. He recognized the voice. "Who is it?" I asked, turning, too. Gerald. Fuck him. We didnt need this right now. "Fuck off, asshole! Didnt you get changed to a different fucking dorm building?!" I yelled right back. "What I cant come visit?!" He asked as he walked down the hall towards us. Marco got in front of me and I couldnt help but feel my face get hot. I liked Marco protecting me. I mean, I was in no state to fight anyone. "How are you, Marco?" "Go away, Gerald. I'm serious." Marco said. "Why isnt Jean pouncing again?" He asked, "I wouldnt mind having a rematch." "He isnt fit to. Just go away." Marco said. "Oh what? He cant? Why? Did someone finally beat him up for being an ass?" "Yo Gerald." I said. He looked at me and I grinned, "Your crush, Marco here, fucked his boyfriend last night for the first time. AKA me. So that's why I'm in no state to fight. I got railed into the matress by this perfect man right here." I patted Marco's shoulder. Gerald looked horrified and disgusted at the same time, "The fuck?!" Marco laughed, shrugging, "Yeah... That did happen. Sorry not sorry, Gerald." Gerald looked like he was about to explode. Then Marco turned to me and put an arm around my shoulder, leading me back down the hall. And when I looked back over my shoulder(as much as I could), Gerald was gone. I sighed with relief and Marco laughed, "Jean that was really funny! I was trying not to crack up at his face!" I laughed softly, too, "I heard you laugh anyways!" I exclaimed. He nodded, "I know! I couldnt hold it in!" We took our showers then we headed back to the room to get dressed.

I barely felt any better as I got dressed into a pair of blue jeans. Marco picked up our dirty clothes and put them into the hamper. Which reminded me that laundry was something that had to get done today. I groaned. "I'll do it this week, okay?" He said. "But it's my turn." I said. "That's okay." He reassured, smiling. I smiled softly back, "Thanks..." He nodded and kissed me softly once. "D'you mind if I wear this?" I asked, pulling his Avengers sweatshirt out of his drawer. "No. I dont mind." He replied. I pulled it on and just put on my pair of Uggs, heading into the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair and put in my contacts. I finished that up and came back out, picking my birthday presents up off of the floor and putting them onto my bed. One of them was an acoustic guitar in a case. Mikasa had given it to me. I used to play in high school but I had to sell that guitar because I felt bad that my mom paid for my college career so I wanted to chip in. And I got a good amount of money for it. I set that up against the wall. "I want to hear you play that at some point soon." Marco said. I smiled softly, "Yeah... I'm probably really rusty..." Marco wrapped his arms around my waist from behind, "Are you feeling any better?" He asked me. I shook my head, "Not really. Kinda." "Do you want some asprin or something?" I nodded then Marco headed into the bathroom and came out with two pills of the same kind and a glass of water. I took the pills and drank the rest of the water. Marco put the cup back into the bathroom then the two of us headed out of the room, Marco locking the door behind us. "Hey guys!" I heard Connie's voice. I turned towards the sound(I was having trouble moving around a lot). Connie was walking over with Eren and Armin. "Hey." I responded. "Hi." Marco said, smiling and putting his key into his pocket. "Man that was a fun party!" Connie exclaimed, putting an arm around my shoulders as the five of us headed to the stairs. "Yeah." I strained slightly. We headed out of the dorm building and out into the courtyard, which was snow free. "Thank fuck that mush is gone." I said. "Aww c'mon, Jean! Dont be a buzzkill." Armin said. I rolled my eyes. Connie patted me on the back really hard. "Ow!" I exclaimed. He gave me a weird look, "What the Hell?" "Are you okay?" Eren asked. I heard Marco chuckle and I turned, glaring at my boyfriend as we walked. He stopped laughing when he saw my expression then he winked at me and I couldnt help but smile slightly. I really tried but I just could not be mad at him right now. "Ohhh shit!" Connie exclaimed. Yep, he'd figured it out. He had certaintly learned how to be more observant over the years. He used to not be able to catch anything. I looked back at him as we went into the cafeteria. "Did you lose it?!" He exclaimed really loudly. "Shut the fuck up!" I exclaimed back, punching his shoulder hard. Connie ran over to the table that we all usually sat at and everyone in Pixis' class were already there. "Jean finally lost his virginity!" He yelled to our friends. Reiner immediately stood up and Ymir started choking on her food. "Connie..." I groaned. Reiner looked at me intensely when I headed over to the table with the other three guys. I couldnt help but laugh slightly. But it soon got bad when he picked me up for a bear hug. I nearly cried, "Owowowowowow! Fuck!" "Let him down!" Marco exclaimed, "Oh God!" Reiner let me go after a few moments and I nearly collapsed but Marco held me up. "What? Did I kill him?" "No! He's just... Sore..." Marco replied. I groaned and slapped my forhead. Everyone at the table started cheering. "Go Jean!" Eren exclaimed, "We should have a party!" "Guys..." Marco said. I sighed. "Okay okay." Connie said, "But seriously! Congrats, Jean!" He patted my shoulder then we all sat down. "Oooh!" Sasha exclaimed, leaning over and poking my neck. "Stoppit!" I knew there were a few marks there that Marco had made. "Jesus Christ..." "Aww! Our little Jeanny-boy has grown up." Sasha said. I punched her shoulder and she laughed, "Ow!" "Hey! You cant hit a girl!" Reiner exclaimed. "I just did." I responded. Sasha was just dying of laughter. "Do you not go by that rule?" Ymir asked. I shrugged, "It depends on the situation. If I'm kidding around and play punch or hit her shoulder, I think it's fine. Also, if she's literally about to stab me, I think it's okay. Other than that, no." Almost everyone at the table shrugged, not agreeing completely. "Makes sense to me." Eren agreed. "Thanks, man." I said. "I understand, too." Marco said. "Thanks, Marco." I replied. Marco leaned over and kissed my cheek. "Jean." Mikasa said. I looked at her, "You should play your guitar for us later on." "Ehh..." I said. "Come on. I didnt buy that for you so you could stare at it." She continued. Dammit. I sighed, "I probably cant even play anymore but fine..." "You have all these hidden talents." Marco suddenly said, "I'm kind of jealous." I looked at him. The Hell? He stared at me, putting his hands up in defense, "What's that expression-" "Shut the fuck up, Marco!" I exclaimed, "The fucking fuck are you talking about?!" Marco laughed and hugged me close to him, "I'm saying that you're talented!" "Well you're fucking wrong!" "No I'm not! Jean you're going to do great things." He said, smiling wider. "I'm gonna punch you in the face!" "Jean you're soooo talented!" Connie yelled at me. And pretty soon everyone at the table was exclaiming how talented and awesome I was. "I'm going to leave!" I yelled, feeling myself becoming flushed. But Marco held me in place. I groaned, just going limp in his arms and tuning everyone out. "Okay. I think he's had enough praise for today." Christa said. "More like the rest of the goddamn year!" I exclaimed. Marco laughed softly and kissed my cheek. I rolled my eyes, "You're an ass, Marco." "Hey!" He exclaimed, laughing. I struggled in his grip and he let me go. I got up with some difficulty and went to go get breakfast. "Jean!" I heard. Hannah was running over to me and we went into line together. "Hey." I said. "Hi!" "Whatcha need?" I asked. She smiled, "Nothing. I just like hanging out with you." I smiled, "Yeah. Okay." Nobody had really said that to me other than my highschool friends and Marco. "I'm sorry. Do you mind?" I heard Marco's voice from behind me. "Oh! No! Go ahead, Marco." Some girl said. Then I felt Marco's hand on my back and he came up next to me. I smiled at him and he smiled back. "Where's Franz?" Marco asked. "Oh yeah. He's still sleeping. He was up all night working on a project." Hannah explained. "Oh." Marco said. The three of us got food. "Do you mind if I sit with you guys?" She asked. "No! Come on in." Marco said, leading the two of us back to the table. Marco introduced Hannah to he others who didnt know her then we sat down. "I like your sweatshirt, Jean." Hannah poked said sweatshirt. "Ah. It's Marco's." I said. "Falcon is looking pretty good there." She responded. I looked down and raised an eyebrow. "Who the frick is Falcon?" Ymir asked. "Falcon is one of the first Avengers." Marco said, pointing at him on the sweatshirt. Then Eren chimed in, "And so are Goliath and the Was-" Eren was cut off by Marco throwing sugar packets at him and saying, "Fuck off!" To which Eren cracked up. "Can I just say something?" Eren asked. Marco stared at him, waiting. Eren laughed more then said, "Black Widow and Hawkeye werent part of the very first Avengers! They came in later on in the comics. It was only Iron Man, Goliath, the Wasp, Falcon, the Hulk, Captain America, and Thor. Plus, Hawkeye is an asshole." "Your mom is an asshole!" Marco exclaimed. Then he threw the ketchup bottle on the table at Eren. "Ow! Jesus Christ!" "Why the Hell arent Goliath, Falcon, and the Wasp in the Avengers movie, then?" Connie asked. Marco sighed, "They said they wanted the 'originals' to be in the movie but that's bull. I mean, I'm not conplaining. Hawkeye is in the movie whether he should be or not. And Falcon is in Age of Ultron so it's getting better. I do want really the Wasp and Goliath in the movies, though." "Hawkeye is so fucking rude in the Avengers show. Like, the cartoon." Eren said. Marco sighed, "He's always like that. He's the obnoxious character." "Well then what the fuck?! Why do you like him?" I asked. Marco kissed my cheek softly, "I like the asshole type." I rolled my eyes, "Fuck you." "Maybe some otherjej time." He responded. Everyone started whistling and cat calling and my face got very hot. "Shut up!" "Anyways. Hawkeye." Marco said. "Is She-Hulk smarter than the Hulk?" Connie asked. "I think so." Marco said.

Later on, we were sitting in the commons building and Marco had forced me to bring my guitar but he wasnt even there. He said he had an appointment for something and he'd be back in a half hour or whatever. "So what happened last night exactly?" Ymir asked me. "Ugh. You want to know what happened exactly? That's a little weird." I responded, tuning the guitar. "Not exactly!" She exclaimed, "Just what happened after you guys left the party?" Everyone was suddenly listening. I sighed softly, "So... We went back to the dorm. And he gave me his present to me which was a, like, pleathery white and green and has 'Jean-icorn' on the back of it and a middle finger. Best fucking present ever, by the way." Connie laughed, "Oh my God! Wear it!" "What the fuck? Do you think I'm just gonna let it collect dust? Of course I'm gonna wear it!" I said. "Continue your story!" Eren exclaimed. "Wait!" Connie interrupted, "Question! Who topped?" I sighed, groaning, "Connie I am sore from head to toe. Who do your think topped?" Everyone laughed and Connie just rolled his eyes, "Dude! I dont know these things!" "So I told him that I was fine with y'know... Doing the do. And he was like-" I put on a deep voice. -"'I dont bottom the first time I do it with my partner.'" "He said that?" Sasha asked. I nodded, "Yeah." "What was that voice you put on for Marco?" Bertholdt asked, laughing slightly. I laughed, too, "I dont know. I just did a random voice. But, yeah, he said that." "Wow. I didnt expect him to not let you decide which you wanted to do." Sasha said. I shrugged, "I understood why. Honestly, I think he did it more for me than for himself. If I wasnt a virgin on bottom I think he would have been more than willing to let me be on top." I said. "You know him really well so I trust that." Bert said. I smirked, "Can I tell you guys something that'll probably change the way you see him?" Everyone looked at me skeptically. "If he's okay with you saying it." Mikasa said. "I dont think he minds as long as you guys dont spread it around-Reiner!" Reiner boomed with laughter, "If it's Marco's secret, I wont say anything! Dont worry!" "Okay. He talks dirty." I said. "What?" Sasha exclaimed, "He does?!" I nodded, "Yup!" "I wouldnt mind someone like Marco talking like that to me." Mikasa said. "You think I minded?" I asked, "I loved it! Are you crazy?" Mikasa smiled. "Wow, Jean!" Eren said. I rolled my eyes, "He's my boyfriend and I think he's the best looking person in the universe. Of course I dont mind." Reiner laughed, "Dont worry, Jean! We all think he's good looking! Because he is!" Everyone mumbled in agreement. "I'm straight and I even think so." Connie said. "Holy shit." Eren said. Everyone looked at him, "You're straight?" Everyone started cracking up then. "Hey!" Connie exclaimed, "What the Hell?! I have a girlfriend!" "That doesnt prove anything!" Eren exclaimed. "That's the funniest thing I think you've ever said, Eren." I said, grinning. "What?" He exclaimed. I stuck my tongue out. "Hellooo?" We heard from the doorway. I recognized his voice and smiled. "Hellooooo!" Some of us replied as Marco walked over, smiling. "Here." Armin said, scooting aside so Marco could sit next to me. He did so, kissing me on the cheek. "Have you started playing yet?" He asked. I shook my head, "Where'd you go? Like, what were you doing?" "I just went to a job interview thing. I'm just trying to get a job as a waiter at one of the fancy places nearby. To be honest, I think a job interview is a bit much." He laughed softly. "Oh okay." I said. "You had better get that job, Marco!" Sasha exclaimed. Marco smiled, "Hopefully!"
