Chapter 2: I Wonder
I wake up really sore, laying on my stomach, in a bed I'm somewhat familiar with. I shift my body so that I'm laying on my back and I look next to me seeing Reiner sleeping. Oh, that's right. I shift on my side and try to look for my phone on the little table, when I find it I notice that my phone was off. Oh yeah I turned it off. When I turn it back on I read
3 Missed calls:
Jean 11:31pm
Jean 12:28am
Jean 1:59am
Then I check the time on my phone
2:31am
"Shit" I say under my breath. I sit up and I try and get up when suddenly I feel an arm wrap around my waist "where you goin'?" Reiner asks sleepily snuggling into my waist. "I'm, uh, I'm going back to my dorm room." I say quietly. "Nooo, Its comfortable sleeping with you." Reiner says. "Jean will get worried if I don't get back." I say even though it might not be true. Jean's probably sleeping and probably doesn't care. "Mmm… alright, Marco." Reiner says letting go of my waist and turning around to face the wall and going back to sleep. I get up and put my clothes back on and I head out the door and go back to my dorm. My ass kinda hurts… Reiner was kinda rough tonight...I take out my keys and unlock the door and enter my dorm room. "MARCO!" I hear Jean yell and right when I looked up jean hugged me. My heart starts beating fast. "Ah, Jean, hey!" I say surprised. "Dude, where were you? I tried calling you but you didn't pick up." Jean says. "Yeah sorry, Jean, we turned off our phones so we wouldn't get distracted. Then, after I finished helping Reiner with his homework we decided to watch a movie. I guess I fell asleep and I forgot to turn my phone back on." I lied to him "Sorry, Jean." "Well alright. As long as you're okay I'm good." Jean says turning away from me and walking to the couch and sitting down. I notice Mina isn't here or maybe she's in Jeans room sleeping on his bed. I take off my jacket and shoes and I go to sit next to jean. "So where's Mina?" I ask curiously. "Oh her? She left a long time ago, bro. Gosh I'm glad that she knows when to leave." Jean replies while turning on the TV and flipping through the channels as he rests his legs on the counter in front of us."Oh" I say…my hearts still beating fast from when Jean hugged me and I can feel a blush creep up on me which I hope Jean doesn't point out. "Hey, Marco your red. Do you have a fever or somethin'?" Jean asks while putting his hand on my forehead and his face is really close to mine which makes me blush a lot harder. "Uh, no I don't think I have a fever." I say nervously. "Then why do you feel like your burning up?" Jean leans in closer to my face. At this point my heart is racing "Ah, I probably need some sleep or um water! Yeah that's it, water!" I quickly get up and go to the kitchen and grab a water bottle and open it and start drinking it trying to calm down. When I walk back to the room that Jeans in I see him still watching TV. "So, you alright?" Jean asks me while he still watching the TV "Yeah I'm fine." I reply while laughing a little. "Hey what's so funny?" Jean quickly asks "Nothing, its just really funny to see you worry about me." I reply "Well yeah, Marco, you are my closest friend, I have to worry about you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you because I wasn't looking out for you." Jean says. " Thank you Jean, for looking out for me. I appreciate it." I say while giving him a smile. "Well, Jean, ima go to bed. Im really tired. Good night " I tell him while head to my room. "Night!" I hear Jean yell loud enough for me to hear him down the hall. I enter my room and take off all my clothes when im only left in boxers and I crawl into my bed…
"BEEP BEEP BEEP" I hear my alarm clock go off as I wake up. I slam my hand on the alarm clock on table next to my bed and search for the 'off' button. When I finally find it I force myself to get up and get ready for my first class. When I'm finished getting ready I head to the kitchen where I surprisingly see Jean making toast for the both of us. "Oh, wow, good morning, Jean." I say as I walk up next to him in front of the counter. "Mornin' Marco. I made toast cause I somehow woke up before you and so I decided to make us toast, like the good friend I am." Jean says while handing me a plate of toast. "Well thank you very much, Jean." I say while I bite into my toast. "So, Marco, I was wondering maybe during lunch you and I cou-" Jean was cut off by loud knocking coming from the front door. Me and jean looked at each other in confusion wondering who that was "I'll go answer it." I say as I walk to the front door and open it when I was suddenly hugged by Eren Jaeger "Oh uh. Hi Eren." I say confused. "Tell him we're not here and to go away!" Jean yells "Shut up horseface we're not here for you." Eren says as he lets go of me and heads towards the kitchen. I see Armin standing in the doorway "Hey Armin!" I say "Hi Marco!" Armin says happily. "Then why the hell are you here for!?" i see Jean yell at Eren as I walk back to the kitchen with Armin. "We're here for Marco. And stop yelling will ya, it's too early for that shit." Eren tells Jean as he grabs a piece of toast from my plate and starts eating it. "What? Why?" Jean asks "to skip class and go to the mall." Eren says sarcastically "To go to class you idiot, we are in his class after all." Eren finally says. Jean stays quiet. "Great, now if you'll excuse us we'll be leaving. C'mon Marco" Eren says heading back out the front door. "Oh, alright bye, jean, see you later." I say grabbing my stuff and walking out the door behind Eren. "Ah, bye, Jean!"I hear Armin say while walking behind me.
"Anyway, so as I was saying Mikasa totally freaked out when she saw I cut myself while I was chopping the vegetables, it was hella funny." Eren says while biting into his apple. "Hey, Marco mind if I sit next to you?" I hear jean come up from next to me. "Oh yeah sure go ahead." I say while I scoot over for jean. "Thanks, Marco." Jeans says while smiling and sitting on the seat next to me and setting his trey down on the table. "Hey, Armin!" Jean says to Armin who is sitting next to Eren. "Go away Horseface." Eren says "Fuck you, Jaeger" Jean quickly replies back. "So, how was class, Jean?" I ask while biting into my sandwich. "It was okay. I mean I didn't fall asleep so that's always good." Jean replies "That's good." I say. "HEY GUYS!" we hear two voices coming from a distance, its Sasha and Connie. "Dude, Ymir's throwing a party tonight and its gonna be crazy! Everyone's gonna be there!" Sasha says as they both reach our table. "You guys wanna come?" Connie asks. "Shit, I'm down!" Jean says quickly "and you're coming with me, Marco!" Jean says while smiling at me. "Yeah me and Armin will go too." Eren says making plans for Armin as well. "SWEET! See you guys there." Sasha says happily. "It's at her place to night at like around 7." Connie gives us somewhat of detail. "Alright, cool we'll be there." Jean says. Connie and Sasha walk off somewhere. "So I guess we're all gonna have fun tonight!" Jean exclaims, already hyped up for the party.
I wonder how this will go..
