Jean sat quietly under a tree, browsing the pages of a comic book while all the other guys played football. Believe it or not, while he was intuitive and intellectual like Armin he too enjoyed reading. Though he enjoyed his friends company most of the time, sometimes he just enjoyed being alone.
He was somewhat bored though, most days he would spend time with Marco, Connie or Sasha. They were a personal clique of oddballs and misfits but they embraced it and made the best of it. However, Marco was off helping Armin study while Sasha and Connie were goofing off elsewhere.
Suddenly a shadow loomed over him taking him by surprise. Wondering if another student was going to make fun of him for spending time alone, he did have a habit of attracting trouble unintentionally. He then looked up and was pleasantly surprised to see Mikasa standing over him with a curious yet worried look.
"Jean? Are you ok? What happened to Marco, isn't he usually with you?" she asked in a concerned manner. She hadn't seen Marco about and he was officially Jean's confidant in every given situation. It was a common knowledge that Jean was rarely seen without his best friend Marco by his side.
Jean blushed shyly, touched by her concern "H… He went to study with Armin and Eren" he explained shyly. Sometimes he would study with Mikasa now and again, even going as far as to turn it into a study date. But he would never force her and simply suggesting it, respecting her if she wanted to turn him down.
Mikasa blinked, visibly surprise to hear this "I see" she said calmly. It was rare to see Jean without the other, they had been inseparable since they were in middle school and he had even helped set the two of them up. Let alone for any of them to have any head space or ability to relax given how busy they were lately.
They were in the middle of exams and they would often pair off into groups to study. Seeing as some students in their friends group were smarter than others so they could help each other out. She then approached Jean and before he could react she sat down beside him quietly. The latter was obviously surprised by her gesture as he wasn't expecting it of her.
I mean sure they were dating, but he never pushed her for physical contact. She found it sweet how he respected her limitations and would never push her for more. He would just let her do what she was comfortable with at the time, just happy with her company or shared conversations.
She then turned to him quietly, tucking some of her bangs behind her ear quietly "You look bored and nobody else is around" she replied casually. Besides, she didn't get much time to spend with him as a lover. Jean was her boyfriend, but because of studies, her having to keep an eye on Eren and him being with his friends. They never had much time to themselves as couples.
Jean blushed and nodded, internally screaming with pure joy right now. She could tell he was lonely and desired to keep him company of her own free will which made him so happy. The most beautiful and intelligent girl at school, whom happened to be the woman he loved and respected more than anyone was now sat beside him.
Slowly she leaned against him and rested her head on his shoulder. Sighing gently as she made physical contact with his shoulder, her weariness getting the better of her. He was really warm and had a familiar musky scent about him that she found very comforting, causing her to become drowsy.
Jean's poor heart was going a mile a minute and he had no idea of how to feel. But he was very happy and praising to Kami for giving him this chance as he was happiest boy alive. "Wake me when break is over" Mikasa replied quietly. He was warm and soft, perfect for napping on. He smelled really nice and he was warm, like a human pillow.
Jean nodded quickly in agreement but he didn't avert his gaze. He simply continued looking at her as she rested her weary head upon his shoulders. Content and comfortable. Mikasa had never made a move on him before, this was the first time she was attempting contact with him. It felt so nice, to have her warm body close to him, her black hair tickling her cheek.
Just the two of them under a shady tree, him reading his comic and her resting her weary head on him. It was nothing overly special and he didn't even have to make a move for this to get any better. To him, this couldn't get more perfect than it already was right now.
