Chapter 6: But It Feels Right; You're in Love

A/N: So I think it's pretty much established that I ship Eren/Jean

"I am not guilty of anything. Well except for pleasure. You see, I did this pretty bad thing with someone in the bathroom of a gasoline station yesterday, and I might have done the same bad thing with that same someone just before you called me in and started questioning me,"

"Miss Leonhart, we're not interested in your sex lif—,"

"Call me Annie. But you see, this is where it gets tricky. I think I like this person, but I really don't have much of any human emotions. So what do you think should I do? He is so smart; I mean, he's probably gonna get rich from his intelligence, and call me whatever you want, but I'm being proactive by choosing people who will get rich. Also, his blond hair matches with me, so I really think that that's a sign. Speaking of signs, he's a Scorpio, and I'm an Aries, and I know that they usually don't match. But I really think we can make this work…"

"Thank you for your utterly irrelevant information Annie. You may leave,"

Annie stepped out of the room and passive-aggressively closed the door, angered; it was too early in the morning to get interrogated. She stared at her friends sitting on the cushiony chairs and pondered to herself. Considering that Marco could have died from that fall into the pool and they all would have faced criminal charges, the group had pretty good luck since they only have to talk to hotel security and not the Las Vegas Police Department. Mikasa had gone to the hospital to look after Marco, while the rest were currently sitting outside the head security officer's office, waiting to be interrogated. A few were more anxious than the others: Sasha was nervous-eating, Connie was biting his lips, Reiner and Bertholt were literally shivering, and Krista was sobbing. The others were calm, most likely because they've been in far worse situations. For instance, Ymir had made great friends with the Pasadena Police Department ever since high school due to various bar fights and public violence. Jean had probably spent time inside a police car because of fighting in public. Eren has anger management issues. And Armin always helped Eren get bailed out; therefore, Armin was prepared for these kinds of events.

Annie stared at the nervous ones, pitying them. She then stated calmly, "Just pretend like you don't know anything and stay off topic as much as possible. If they start interrogating you forcefully, start bursting into tears."

Luckily, Armin was the one being interrogated next. After his interrogation, everyone was free to go. Nobody really knows what he said in that office, and no one bothered to ask; all they wanted to know was if Marco was safe. They all got into Annie's car, and Annie turned the ignition on and bolted towards the hospital.

They all rushed in, hurriedly asked the nurse where Marco was, and raced towards his room. Once they arrived, they noticed Mikasa, who had been sitting right next to him, caressing his face and profusely apologizing. His doctor, Dr. Hanji Zoe, came in and told the worried clan of young adults that Marco's vitals are healthy, there was no brain damage, and that there was just a slight laceration on his forehead, thus explaining the bleeding. Dr. Zoe emphasized that there is nothing to worry about, but Marco will need a lot of sleep, no stress, and lots of fluids. The doctor then flounced, actually skipped, out of the room, whistling a High School Musical song.

"What an odd doctor," Marco managed to croak out and attempted to raise himself. Mikasa then immediately lowered him and gave him water, her maternal instincts taking action.

"Oh, by the way," Dr. Zoe peeked in, "what a lovely girlfriend you have there. She has been worried sick about you and has been by your side ever since last night! Ooh! Young love!"

Marco and Mikasa profusely blushed. Mikasa started denying the assumption that they were dating, and Marco smiled, placing his hand under his head and rubbing his hair. There was a slight awkward mood in the air until Sasha and Connie excused themselves to go look for food since the paucity of food was killing them.

The other couples then left to go get food for Marco and themselves, leaving Armin, Annie, Jean, Eren, Marco, and Mikasa in the room. Again, there was a tinge of awkwardness in the room. Armin, always the rhetorician, made up some wild reason why he has to leave, taking Annie with him. He said something about the gift shop. Mikasa was forced, by Eren, to remove herself off of the seat next to Marco and get some food. Therefore, the only ones left in the room were Jean and Marco.

"You know, you can't stop denying it. And why would you? It was pretty obvious from last night that he likes you back," Marco stated.

"I thought we weren't on speaking terms?" Jean replied.

"No, I never agreed to that. You were the one who said that you were too mad and too sad to speak to me. I mean, don't get mad, but are you sure you're not going into your scene phase? I mean, you have been wearing tight, black skinny jeans for a while,"

"It's just… You're always right! I'm always wrong, and I suck at life! And that phone call to you was just so I can talk, not have you get all philosophical and Aristocrates on me,"

"It's Aristotle and Socrates, Jean. And I'm sorry, I didn't mean to impinge ("huh?"), to intrude into your privacy. It's just that you're so oblivious about your feelings for Eren. It hasn't just started at the beginning of this trip, Jean; you've liked him for some time,"

Jean paused. He thought about it and came to the conclusion that indeed, Marco is right. He had liked Eren ever since high school.

"I'm sorry man. You're the best friend ever, and I know you're just trying to help," Jean apologizes. Marco gives him a weak handshake.

"By the way, just before we had dinner last night, Eren talked to me. He asked me why I wasn't helping you with checking in and why I didn't try to console you when you walked into the hotel all distressed. I don't know if you know, Jean, but he really cares about you. And he has my approval,"

Tears were falling out of Jean's eyes. Never in his life has he felt so loved. Most of his life, he thought of himself as worthless and unlovable; he never thought that Eren Jaeger would see him as how he would want someone to see him. He never thought that he would find a person who actually finds him as a human being with worth. When the rest of the group came back with food for Marco, Jean immediately took Eren's hand and ran down the stairs and towards the exit of the hospital. Panting heavily, Jean stopped once they reached the exterior of the hospital, giving Eren time to question just what was going on exactly. Jean decided not to say anything and pulled Eren in for a passionate kiss.

Before Eren reached Marco's room and was then abruptly taken by Jean, he was carrying a piece of bread. It was a crumbly baguette, and its aroma could be smelled from miles away. In the midst of running, Eren had accidentally held on to the bread too tightly; therefore, his hands were covered in crumbs. During the midst of the kissing with Jean, Eren had voraciously attacked Jean's hair with his crumb-covered hands; therefore, it is safe to say that Jean's hair is covered in crumbs.

The two boys laughed at this, until a pigeon swooped in to grab a crumb from Jean's hair. And then another pigeon came. And another, and another. In a few minutes, Jean had went from kissing Eren to being attacked by pigeons. Eren cackled as he stared at Jean running around in circles, screaming bloody murder, being followed by pigeons.

"Eren, help!"

"Sorry sweetie, I need to take a video of this!"

"GET OFF OF ME YOU DAMN MISCREANTS!" Jean yells as more and more pigeons flock towards him.

Upstairs, in Marco's room, the gang is dying of laughter, seeing the sight of Jean being chased by pigeons at the front of the hospital in front of all of Las Vegas to see. They then looked in horror as they see an entire flock of approximately two hundred pigeons swoop down towards Jean.

A/N: I don't have anywhere to go with this story anymore, so I'm gonna say that this is the ending. I know, there isn't much closure. Sorry :(
