*Jean's POV*

Is that...Marco and Armin? What's going on?

"H-Hey, you guys..."

Marco walked closer and waved, "h-hey, Jean."

"S-So...what're you two doing here?" great, I just began stuttering like hell.

"W-Well we were gonna watch a movie and..." Marco rubbed his shoulder

Armin pushed Marco and gave me a slight grin, "w-what're you guys doing here?"

"We were doing the same thing."

Eren changed the topic, "so what movie are you guys watching today?"

"Oh, we were watching the SpongeBob movie. " Armin smiled at Eren while he waited for his response

Eren nodded "same, same. So...do you wanna watch the movie together?"

Armin nodded excitedly "that'd be great! Marco?"

Marco smiled at Armin, "sure!" He checked his phone, "and we still have 5 minutes before the movie starts so cmon!"

We all ran to the movie, until the security guard told us to stop. She looked familiar, oh yeah...its Rico.

We headed to the front seats. Just in time, the movie is just about to start. So Jean, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.

~~~After the movie~~~

The movie finally ended. The three of us walked while Eren was still tumbling on the carpets endlessly like a little kid. Man, he's cute when he acts stupid.

I took Eren's collar as soon as we were gonna leave and helped him stand up. He looked like he had horrible bed-head.

Eren fixed his hair and giggled like a ten-year old, "thanks Jean, I just felt like a five year old so."

I ruffled his hair and laughed, "we all wanna be kids again, Eren."

Armin held me shoulder, "So, Jean. Where do you wanna go now?"

I held my stomach painfully as I could hear it rumbling, "Dinner. I don't care where, I just want something to eat."

Marco stroked my back gently, "okay, cmon guys, let's go get something to eat."

We went to a restaurant and sat on a table for four. Eren sat beside Armin and I sat with Marco.

I'm fine with Eren sitting with Armin. They are close friends in high-school so I don't mind at all. I bet Eren feels the same way for Me and Marco.

Suddenly Krista came out of nowhere and asked for our orders. Oh yeah, I forgot she works at this place.

She's in Eren's class. I hear she's nice to a lot of people, basically everyone.

Her girlfriend (Ymir) is in my class. She doesn't talk much, that's because she waits for school to end so she can see Krista.

She talked to me once, though. That was the time I had a crush on her, but the feeling ended when I found out she was a tomboy.

~~~time lapse~~~

"Jean! Hurry up, it's almost time for chemistry class!" Marco shouted as he took my hand and ran to our classroom.

"Marco, calm down. It's not like we're late anyways."

(This was the time me and Marco were still best friends and weren't dating yet, and I didn't know Armin nor Eren that time.)

We arrived at our class. Shoot, it's my crush, Ymir. She has an empty seat. I whispered at Marco's ear,

"Dude, Ymir has an empty seat. I really wanna sit next to her."

Marco giggled, "what's stopping you?"

I smirked and rushed to her seat. I sat down next to her, trying my best to make a first impression,

"H-Hi...I'm Jean Kirstei-"

"Kirstein, yeah...nice to meet you." She muttered softly as she slouched on her chair.

I faked a laugh "Heh, so...why're you so silent most of the time? You don't suit your looks."

She raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

I blushed "I mean you look like you talk but you don't."

"Oh. Do you really not kno-"

"I mean, I don't get the reason why nobody likes you, I really don't."

She sighed desperately and began making tapping sounds with her pen, "you don't know? Then it's as if you don't even know me."

I know for sure that my heart's gonna break at her answer. I gulped nervously, "what do you mean?"

"I'm tomboy, Jean. I like Krista,from the other school. What kind of guy would like a tomboy? Sorry Jean..." She stood up and left as the bell rang.

And...my heart just shattered. I expected something bad, but not that bad.

I walked on my locker silently and opened it. I saw all the ideas I wrote down to impress her. It was basically all that was in my locker.

I crumpled all the papers and threw them on the floor, closing my locker shut and letting everyone in the hall hear it. I ran outside and sat on the bench in front of the field.

I looked down and eraser everything around me from my mind.

Until a familiar voice asked, "Jean, are you okay? I heard what happened and..."

I turned around. It's Marco. He knelt behind the bench held my shoulder.

Then he sat beside me and stroked my back. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed,

"How does she do that? How Will I ever know the gay feeling?"

Marco smiled and patter my shoulder, "just remember. There's always someone out there that'll always love you, Jean. Always remember that." He kissed my forehead and we spent the rest of the afternoon on that bench

(Oh, did I mention this was the time me and Marco started dating? Yeah.)

~~~end of time lapse~~~

"Jean! What're you gonna order!" Eren screamed in impatience.

I stopped gazing at the sky and said, "Uhh...I'll just get chicken wings."

Krista wrote that down on her little notepad and left. Armin asked me,

"Jean. You spent ten minutes staring at the sky without blinking, what were you thinking about?"

I hesitated. I need an excuse right now. "I w-was counting the stars..."

Marco nodded slowly "oh yeah...he usually does that. He counts the stars without blinking."

"Meh, okay." Armin began playing with his fork.

After dinner. Me and Marco parted ways as we went straight to our own apartments. I could tell that man was covering for me.
