Hello everyone :D here's another chapter, I hope you enjoy!

Jean smiled upon seeing his boyfriend Marco but it quickly faded. He confessed to liking someone else. "Jean what's wrong? Is it about Armin?" Marco asked with concern. "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine" Jean lied. He looked at the clock, two hours till school was over. Two hours until he could see Armin and if he was lucky, the boy would wake up and it'd be okay. "Your thinking about Armin again aren't you?" Marco asked trying his best not to sound depressed. He was also concerned for his friend's health but Jean's concern ran deeper than his and rivaled Mikasa and Eren's. Although Marco didn't want to admit it, he felt jealous and he was mad at himself for it.

Marco wished Armin was okay and had never gotten hurt in the first place, but for more than just the reason that he was a friend. It made him realize how much Jean cared for him, and Marco was certain Jean might start to develop feelings for him if he hadn't already. "That means its only a matter of time until..." Marco stopped his thoughts there and found himself frowning. He knew Jean was dating him solely out of guilt but tried very hard to deny it. He had almost fooled himself into it too, almost. Deep down he knew, and he also knew their days together where numbered so he should at least try and enjoy them. And he was right.

"Jean. I think you and I should go on a date." Marco said bluntly. "Huh?" Jean blinked, they hadn't gone on one in a while. "Well, you seem kinda stressed, so I figure this may help you calm down." Marco said; it was the truth but not necessarily all of it. "Sure, how about after school?" Jean said. Marco nodded, "sounds great."

"No, no, NO!" She screamed as she stood up and ran over to the nearest weapon she could find. "STAY HERE OR ELSE!" The deranged female hoisted the pipe above her head and Armin took a step back. "Bella calm down! It's okay, the sound will go away if we tell the person to go." "Nononono!" She said as she shook her head wildly. "Please, just put the pipe down." Armin said, he slowly walked up to her and placed a hand on her own. Bella relaxed slightly but her firm grip remained. "Here, let me see that." Armin said gently as he tried to remove the weapon from her hands. The doorbell went off again and Bella jerked away like a wild animal. "NOOO!" She screamed as she swung her weapon. Armin woke up breathing heavily. After calming himself down he noticed the pain in his head and that he wasn't at Bella's place anymore.

Jean checked his hair one more time before getting ready to leave for his date when he felt his phone vibrate, "hello?" He answered. "Jean, its Eren. Armin woke up! I'm at the hospital with him." Eren said excitedly. "Really!? Thanks for telling me Eren." Jean said, all his stress and worry now gone thanks to the unexpected phone call. Although it had made his day, it had also ruined someone else's.

There was a knock on the hospital door, "come in" a soft voice replied. Jean quickly opened the door to see Armin in bed with Eren and Mikasa by his side. "Oh, Jean? Good to see you." Armin said with a small smile that made Jean smile even wider. "Hey Armin, I got these for you." He said as he handed the blond a bouquet of flowers and a small card that said "Get well soon". "O-oh thanks" Armin said as he placed them on the table beside another bouquet given to him by his childhood friends. An awkward silence fell over everyone until Mikasa stood up, "I'm getting a drink and will be back soon. Come on Eren." Mikasa ordered as she pulled her adoptive brother to his feet. "What? Mikasa why do I have to go?" Eren whined as he was pulled out the door. Right before the door closed Mikasa muttered something that sounded similar to "Don't mess this up Jean" leaving the brunette a little flustered.

"Soo um...when will you be released from the hospital?" Jean said, trying to start a conversation. "The day after tomorrow, they still want to run a few tests." Armin said before they slipped into silence again. It wasn't as awkward as when Eren and Mikasa where there but Jean still wanted to break the silence. He was just unsure of what to say. So the pair just sat there for what felt like ages when in reality it was only about two minutes until Jean's phone went off. It was a text from Marco.

Marco: Jean, where are you? You're nearly twenty minutes late!
Jean:SORRY! Something came up, but I'll be there soon.
Marco:...it involves Armin doesn't it?
Jean: can we please text about this later? I'm on my way bye.

"Sorry Armin, I gotta go. Something has come up." Jean said apologetically as he stood up. "Okay, bye Jean and thanks for the flowers" Armin said as the brunette left the room.

"There you are! You're thirty minutes late." Marco said with a scowl as he crossed his arms. "I'm sorry; Armin woke up and-" "so I was right" Marco said sadly. "Jean, I know its been crazy lately but all you ever think about is Armin. I think he's a great guy but this is getting out of hand. S choose: him or me? I'll give you some time to think about it." Marco said as he stormed off feeling angry and depressed. Meanwhile Jean face palmed himself, what was he going to do?

I think we all know the answer :) Stay tuned for the next chapter!
