Jean is jealous of Mikasa's scarf, she decides to fix that
The weather had been getting cold lately. The temperature dropping and small inches of frost were to be found everywhere. It was getting to that time of year again, autumn was upon them. Th days were getting shorter and the nights were getting longer, the time for cold weather and keeping warm was upon them.
Mikasa has started to wear her scarf around her face to keep warm and prevent frostbite. Though she was just being practical, Jean couldn't help but feel upset about it for some reason. Despite them dating for some time now, Mikasa hadn't once given Jean a gift in all that time. He didn't have something special to him from her, like Mikasa did her scarf.
Though Jean wasn't petty like that, he didn't exactly like the fact he had nothing that reminded him of her on his person. Something to hold close when they were apart. It honestly felt like she was carrying Eren wherever she went. I mean he had given her the scarf when they had both been ten and she had carried it on her person ever since then.
He only wished he had something similar. Something to remind him of the girl he loved. A piece of her that he could hold on his person with pride to show their affection subtly. Was that too much to ask as childish at it seemed. To have something his girlfriend had given him to wear with pride the same as her? That was all he really wanted.
Jean wondered towards the school gates quietly his cheeks red from the cold. The wind rough on his cheeks but he stood firm. The sooner he got home the sooner he could warm up. His mother would have something delicious cooking on the stove and a log fire burning that would warm the entire house. He couldn't wait to get back to where it was warm.
Meanwhile a certain dark haired girl had spotted him trying to leave. His cheeks were as red the scarf around her neck, shivering from the cold a little and his expression lonely. She hated seeing him look like that. She felt so bad for him. He didn't have something warm to keep him sheltered from the cold. His mum wasn't exactly poor but her job wasn't very highly paid either, somewhere in-between.
While he never spoke badly of his mother, but was as embarrassed as a boy could be around his mother. It was clear to anyone that Jean did love his mother he just didn't like being babied is all. It didn't take a genius to figure out that Jean did love his mother very much, he just didn't like it when she showed him up.
She then approached Jean quickly, leaving Armin alone to talk to their mutual friends. Besides, she would call him and Eren later in the evening anyway. "Jean" she called out loudly so he would stop. She had been wanting to speak to him anyway. They hadn't been able to spend much time together due to her being busy and their studies.
Jean stopped mid in his tracks and turned to stare at her. She looked as beautiful as ever, her dark eyes and silky black hair. How someone could be so beautiful he didn't know. What with her creamy smooth skin, her big dark eyes that reminded him of Jett, her silky dark hair that he loved to bury his nose into when they cuddled. He loved all of her.
His cheeks heated with a blush warming him up slightly. He hadn't really spoken much to her today due to spending so much time with her friends and her latest secret hobby. But he didn't mind that, she had other people aside him in her life. They were a couple but they also had relationships outside of their own to maintain.
As Mikasa reached him she caught her breath briefly. Running in the cold wasn't good for the body at all. She then pulled something out of her bag making sure that it didn't snag, after all her hard work it would only annoy her. The reason she hadn't been able to see him for a while was because making it had taken up so much of her time.
She then wrapped a turquoise blue scarf around Jean's neck. Making sure it was wound tightly around him so he wouldn't be cold. His cheeks reddening as she wound the scarf around his neck. She was glad he liked it, she had thought long and hard about what colour to get before she started making it for him.
She then gazed at him fondly as she admired the scarf on him. It really did look good on him, it stood out just like her own. "You looked cold" she said gently. Blue had been a good choice after all, it really looked nice on him. Now he no longer had a reason to be jealous of hers anymore, now that he had one too.
Jean felt his face radiate heat as Mikasa wrapped the warm material around his neck. He couldn't find the words to say as he was too overwhelmed. He could only stammer out short sentences. "Thank you" he squeaked shyly. Internally he was sobbing with pure joy at her gift.
He could imagine Mikasa sitting at her desk spending hours making this for him. Putting sleep and her studies aside all to get this finished for him as soon as possible. The wait of of being able to see her had been completely worth it, this was the best present he had ever received in his life.
A small smile then came across Mikasa's face and she gently gripped both ends of his scarf. She then tugged on it gently pulling him towards her then capturing his lips in a gentle kiss. With this she could now make it up to Jean for neglecting him as of late, she really did feel bad about doing so since he was so sweet to her.
Jean's eyes widened in awe as Mikasa kissed him. Her lips were cold from the frost but they were still as soft as ever, the subtle taste of cherry lip balm lingering on them. They hadn't really kissed yet since they started dating, it was even better than all of the fantasies he had ever imagined in his head.
After she slowly pulled away to which Jean was still speechless and lost in the moment. A shy smile spread across her face as she gazed at him "Don't lose it" she warned. She had worked very hard on this scarf. She would appreciate it if he took good care of it. Now she and Jean would match and he would feel less left out.
