Years have passed and it's the year 853 and Jean and I have stuck together since Marco's death, but we have always been by each others side right before Marco came into my life. The memories of Marco, the promises we made back then. I guess it was all what we hoped for the future, and that was gone. Over time I talked to Marco in the heavens above, hoping I could finally move on peacefully knowing he was somewhere safe. He was not forgotten, he was someone we all would remember. For his leadership, and for his kindness to our comrades.

Over time as well we have killed every last titan on the island, and we have settled in with different people from beyond the ocean. Getting more intel, getting more new machines and items that we never knew would exist. It was getting easier and easier to apply to the news changes, and people that we managed to live a stable life for now. Next year was gonna become bigger, as that was our next step to freedom.

Walking out to the docks I saw Mikasa walking up to me, "(Y/N), have you already eaten?" She asks me, in concern.

Yeah actually, recently I haven't been feeling myself lately. Over the years we've matured, but over that time I started to feeling more depressed over the fact that he was gone. I know I moved on, but I felt like no one else really cared as much as Jean and I did that very night. The embers burning his corpse, the remaining of his missing bones scattered across the ground.

"......"

"You didn't eat.....come on (Y/N), you need to eat something," She presses firmly, but I shake my head.

"I don't feel hungry," i reply.

"Not hungry, my ass," She mutters, grabbing me by the wrist she pulls me to the mess halls. Without any arguments or anything, I follow behind knowing I couldn't get out of this. Out of our squad, Mikasa, Sasha and were best friends. Everyone started to move away, or just lost their sanity.

Once we walk inside I saw everyone eating and talking amongst themselves, when out of nowhere I bump into someone. I realise who it was, "S-Sorry Jean...." I stammer, avoiding eye contact feeling my cheeks grow warm.

"Hey Mikasa, thanks for bringing her here," He says, as she nods.

"Anytime, just make sure she eats,"

"Right,"

With that she leaves Jean and I alone as he starts taking me to his table with Connie and Sasha, as Sasha was digging into the food that Niccolo has been cooking up for us. Once I sit down Connie's head perks up, "Finally she has shown up!" He exclaims. "Thought you were dead, you have been sleeping all day and missed out on breakfast and lunch."

"I'm okay," i assure him, with a fake reassuring smile.

Over time Jean and I have become very close, and I have been getting this fluttering feeling in my chest. It was the same feeling when it came to Marco, but......it was something more. The thing was, I would feel bad falling for his best friend. 

"Here you go," Jean says, placing food in front of me.

The food smells so good, "T-Thankyou," I smile softly, before I start eating slowly.

"Anytime,"

{TimeSkip}

*********************

I went to go say goodnight to Jean like I would do every night, because knowing he is still here and alive I'm at peace. I head to the boys quarters, knocking gently on Connie's and Jeans room. After a few seconds the door opens revealing Connie, "(Y/N), you here for Jean?" he asks, as I nod. "It seems he went for a walk or something."

"Oh thankyou," i say, about to walk away when I decided to go look for him.

Walking outside I saw lamps lighting spots in opening areas, when I spot a figure standing on top of the hill. My eyes widen seeing it was jean, but it seems he is talking to someone. The light of the stars lights up the atmosphere, seeing the moon shine down on him seeing his handsome face. I then start moving forward hearing him, before stopping to listen.

"....still miss you, and (Y/N) and I still think about you," He says, not hearing the first part. "Marco....I wanted to ask you something, and I don't want to feel guilty with these feelings I have. Would you let me............love (Y/N)....more than a friend? Would you give me the honour to protect her more, the honour to cherish her as my girlfriend. It maybe a lot to ask, and I know I won't get a response but.......I have fallen for her. She is always strong, beautiful, courageous and also kind......just like you Marco. I wanted to ask for permission if I could take her hand, and have her as my own?"

Tears stream down my cheeks feeling my heart beating rapidly as I went to leave, when I trip over a stump from the tree making me yelp in fright. I wince from the fall grazing my damn knee, but it won't hurt me. Wiping away the tears, I felt hopeless. I felt like I was useless, feeling pathetic.

"Dammit," i whimper.

"(Y/N)!" I hear someone exclaim, turning I saw jean. "What are you doing here? You should be in bed!"

"S-Sorry, you usually say goodnight to me.....but you didn't so I wanted to go and say it," i reply, when he helps me up.

"Sorry.....but how much did you hear?"

"......"

"You heard everything, did you?"

"Y-yes, I'm sorry," I whimper, as tears roll down my cheeks. He lifts my chin up looking deeply into my eyes, wiping away my tears.

"Hey, hey....I'm not mad," he whispers, feeling my heart beating rapidly.

"Is it true? Do you love me, more than a friend?"

".......Yes, I do love you (Y/N)," he admits, scratching the back of his neck. "I just.....wanted to make sure Marco would let me. Knowing I won't get a response, I wanted to make sure......and now you overheard."

"I'm experiencing the same thing," i reply, as he gasps. "I always wanted to make sure Marco would be happy if were together, but I want to move on and live a life with someone. I guess I have fallen for you."

"S-So you love me?"

"Yes, and now.....I'm not afraid anymore," i smile, with happy tears. My cheeks were flushed from the amount of crying and the cold, when he pulls me into his warm embrace. His hand holds the back of my head, my head buries into the crook of his neck.

"(Y/N) may we be together, and I will protect you with me life?" He asks me firmly, holding me close. For a moment I felt at peace, knowing my feelings have been returned. I clutch his shirt tightly, smiling.

"Yes, dammit yes," I sob, when he pulls away he wipes my tears away.

"Marco you hear that, I have protected her since you left us.....and I will continue on protecting her as my own," He says, talking to the stars.

"We miss you Marco, and we will bring honour to your name," I call, as Jean looks down into my eyes. He leans down slowly before pressing his lips lightly onto mine slowly, feeling our lips move in sync. I hold onto him, not wanting him to leave me like Marco.

"I love you (Y/N),"

"I love you too, Jean,"
