Apologies for the last chapter being so short! Anyways here's chapter 4!
We both sit up and Jean quickly puts his underwear and pants back on, I chuckle. "Yes?"
"I'd like to talk to you privately dear…" Said Jean's mother, she didn't sound cheerful, like she did this morning.
"I'll be there in a second!" He responds. Jean comes to me and kisses me. "I'll be back in a short amount of time, make yourself at home." Said Jean in a hushed tone. I wonder what his mother was going to talk to him about.
-Jean's POV-
I walked out from my bedroom and shut the door, leaving (N/c) by herself in my room. I wonder what mother has to talk to me about. I walk down to the kitchen and she's waiting for me there.
"Yes? What did you want to talk about?" I ask trying my best not to sound annoyed. My mother turns around with a mad sort of look in her face. What the fuck? She quickly walked up to me and slapped me.
"O-oi!" I manage to say "What the hell was that for?!"
"You could get that girl pregnant for God's sake Jean!" I don't think I've ever blushed so hard before.
"You heard us?! Didn't you go to the fucking store?!" I yell back.
"I forgot my wallet for wall Rose's sake!" She yells back.
My right cheek was hurting a lot. It was the first time she ever raised her hand at me. I could feel it getting swollen. I touch my cheek and flinch as it hurt a lot. Old hag! She looks at me with sorry eyes.
"We're leaving." I say with no tone, I was hurt.
"Jean"
"No! We're leaving, I visited you, I felt like shit for the way I treated you! I showed you the girl who's precious to me, and you do this?! We're leaving mother." I turn around and run to my bedroom. Before I open the door I felt a tear rolling down my face, I wipe it off and go inside the room. (N/c) was in shock, when she saw me she quickly ran into my arms.
"Jean, baby what's wrong?! I heard a loud noise and…don't tell me this mark on your face is from a slap…" She said with a shaky voice and gently caressed the mark my mother had left.
"Don't worry about it, we're leaving…do you have the rings she gave us?" I ask.
"I do, here." She says as she gives me the little box which contained the rings that belonged to my father and mother.
"Let's get out of here." I say as I grab (N/c)'s hand and we start going downstairs. I stop halfway down the stairs, turn around and look at (N/c).
"I left the condoms in my room…" I whisper. She gets close to me and purrs in my ear "It's okay, Reiner got me some…" We exchange smiles and reach the door. I see my mother standing there.
"Mother, here are your rings. I apologise, but we can't have these." I said with the lowest tone ever.
"Jean-boy…I'm sorry!" She says. I hold her hand. Unfold her fingers and put the small box in her hands. "I know, we have to leave now. Goodbye mother. I hope we can see each other again. When you go up to my room you'll regret your actions. I love you mother, goodbye." I say as I walk out the door. I notice (N/c) wasn't behind me. I turn around and see my mother holding her by her wrist and whispering something into her ear.
I go back inside and trying not to lose my shit I say "Don't hold her that way. We're leaving, I hope you can meet our children in the future, goodbye mother." I gently grabbed (N/c)'s hand and we walked out.
"Let's go shopping." I say to change the awkward atmosphere my mother left us with.
"Are you sure?" She asks me.
"Yeah, we can get new clothes and things we'll need." I answer back with a smile.
"I don't have much cash on me Jean" She says, I roll my eyes in a funny way that made her chuckle.
"I'm paying silly" I give her a warm smile. Her eyes filled with excitement we made our way to town.
-(N/c) POV-
Jean's mother seemed so lovely…until she hit him. I wonder why she decided to do such a thing to her own son. I here vow that I'll never raise my hand at my children.
Jean was taking me shopping. I felt like I was taking advantage of him. In all honesty I felt like going back home. Jean went inside a store and left me to wait outside. I've been thinking about home for so long. I miss my family so much…If I were to lose Jean I don't know what I'd do. I felt myself getting upset over such a thought.
"(N/c), are you alright?" I hear a familiar voice ask. As I look at who just spoke to me I see it was no other than Mikasa.
"I'm alright thank you." I politely respond to her.
"What are you doing just standing here?" She asks.
"Waiting for someone." I respond trying not to show my hate.
"For who." She says.
"For Jean." I nervously say.
Her face expression changed from serious to blushing?
"Why are you with Jean?" She asks. She had angry eyes and was blushing fiercely…don't tell me she…
"I like him (N/c). Stay away from him or I'll deal with you…I'm strong. Way stronger than you'll ever be."
I stand there and stare in shock. She smiles and leaves.
"(N/c) I'm back... (N/c)? (N/c)!" Jean says and I snap out of my shock.
"Oh I'm sorry…you're back." I attempt to smile back.
"Yeah, should we keep walking? I'm so hungry I could eat a horse!" He asks.
"Sure, let's go." I say back.
It was early in the afternoon when Jean and I decided to go back. I'm scared…of Mikasa. I thought she liked Eren! I'm just going to talk to Reiner and Bert about this, they've always been there for me. If it weren't for Reiner and Bertholdt, I wouldn't be here.
It was cold. A really cold afternoon. I lived in a village with my parents. I was an only child. My mother was expecting a little brother soon. I was happy and excited. I couldn't wait to meet my little brother. When the titans attacked our village we weren't aware of the attack. News didn't get to our village fast. A Titan had caught my mother. My father tried to get her back but another titan caught him. I'll never forget the sight. My mother's pregnant belly squished by the titan, her pregnant belly exploded. Her guts falling from the titan's hand. The titan enjoyed her. My father yelled at me to run. His last words were "Run, I love you (N/c)!" His head was bitten off soon after that. I still remember the fear I felt. I couldn't move. Everything I loved had been taken away from me. "Hey! Girl! Let's go run!" Says a boy holding hands with another boy. They looked my age. (At the time we were 12) The blonde boy took my hand and we ran. I don't remember ever running this fast. We could get on a boat before it was too late. The blonde boy had made me sit in between him and the black haired boy. I snapped out of fear and it turned to the worst pain I ever felt. I started crying, Mama…Papa… I'll never see them again. I never got to meet my little brother. The pain was horrible, I felt as if my heart was being ripped away from my chest. I felt someone hug me. I look up both boys wrapped their arms around me. "It'll be okay…" Both boys say, they had lost their family too. After I calmed down a bit, we got to know each other. To my surprise they were my age. Ever since then we've been inseparable. Both boys are like a family to me. We met Annie, she's been part of our family too. They bring me joy and we all feel at home when we're together. We were raised by Erwin Smith. Now he's a commander but he taught us most of the things we know. He fed us and took us in. He made us promise him we'd join the training legion, which we all swore to do, which is why we're here.
I sigh as I cuddle Jean on our way back. The carriage stopped and we both got off and Jean payed. I felt stared at. Jean held my hand and we walked to the boy's dorm. We were both carrying bags from our shopping with our spare hands. Jean spoiled me today. As he closed the door for the guy's dorm we set our bags on his bed and sighed in relief. Jean took out a beautiful dress from a bag. It was medium length and I gasped. The dress was dark blue and it was truly gorgeous.
"I got this for you along with a lot of other things…I hope you like what I got you (N/c)" He says with a smile on his face. My mouth was touching the floor. I was in awe at the sight of beautiful clothing Jean bought.
"Thank you so much Jean…I'm really thankful. You've got great taste in clothing love" I say with a happy tone. Then I tell him I'll go put my new clothes away in my suitcase which was in my dorm. He helps me carry the bags and pack them away. I then take a bag which contained gifts for my family. I got Annie a black medium length dress which she would look beautiful in. I also got her a white hoodie, same type she has but different colour. I got Reiner a fancy shirt and cologne. Lastly, I got Bertholdt a fancy shirt as well and cologne so the boys didn't fight, which they rarely do anyway.
"Thank you so much Jean" I say as I place a kiss on his lips and then look at all the new clothing he purchased for me. I felt like I used him in a way. I then reach my money and give him money for the gifts I got. He didn't want me to give him money, as he said "What's mine, is yours". I was happy. I told him I'd sleep with him again so I took my nightwear to his dorm and then left him to go see Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie.
"Annie!" I call out to her as I see her reading a book. She stands up gives me a light smile and we share a hug. "Could you come with me please?" I ask.
"Sure, let's go. Is this a family meeting?" she says pointing at my bags. I nod back at her and smile. We were both holding hands and soon enough we found Reiner and Bertholdt sitting down near the woods. We join them and sit next to them.
"Everyone, you've always been family to me. I love you all more than I can say. I got you some gifts today while I was out with Jean, I hope you like them!" I say as I give each of them a bag which had what I got them. All of their faces lit up, especially Annie's, her eyes sparkled at the sight of the dress.
"This is beautiful…" She says "Thank you (N/c)" She says as she hugs me and places a kiss on my cheek. I smile warmly at her and I say it's no problem.
"Wow this shirt is so fancy, I love it! Thank you baby" Reiner says as he hugs me but he places a gentle kiss on my forehead. I smile back at him. Then Bertholdt interrupts.
"This cologne smells so good!" He says with a warm smile and he gives me a tight hug.
"I'm happy you all liked my gifts." I say.
"I got us all something too actually." Says Reiner.
"You too?" Asks Annie still happy from the clothing items I got her.
"Yeah, mine's different though. I got us all rings which we can all put on these chains I got us. If you read close enough it says 'Family, where life begins and love never ends' I hope you all like them" He says proudly.
The chain was a skinny yet strong golden chain. The ring was gold and the words were carved with what seemed diamonds or some sort of beautiful stone. A tear escaped my eye as I put it on.
"Thank you Reiner! I'll never take this off!" I say and Annie agrees as she is also emotional. We all join each other in a warm group hug.
We all talk for about an hour or so and then we all go in our own ways. I was making my way to Jean when I got pulled aside. Crap I forgot to talk to Reiner. I shouldn't have walked back by myself. I was being pinned against a wall by Mikasa. Not long after that I was knocked out by one punch. Fuck. Why did this have to happen? Why didn't she get with Jean when she had the chance? Why does she have to be violent to one of her comrades? I was out cold.
End of chapter 4...Hope you enjoyed! Chapter 5 will be up tomorrow! This story is about to take a turn.
