Fake Love│Love Thoroughly, Hurt Thoroughly Jeankasa

Eren leaves the Alliance

The alliance gathered in a tavern in Liberio. They were readying to depart to Marley to carry out the plan, but they first had to drink to their bones to numb the pain of what sins they would be committing soon.

Jean counted everyone in the inn, searching for a particular someone. The only people there were the alliance and a few other patrons. Levi, Hange, and Onyakopon were by the front bar, drinking and chatting away while Connie and Sasha started to play a game but as always they were bickering too. Armin on the other hand, was busy putting the plans in order, he was going through the paperwork, sorting the papers and skimming through them. He also couldn't find Zico nor Yelena but he didn't care, they weren't much of his concern. He looked around the desolate bar.but his eyes didn't seem to spot Mikasa's ravened short hair. He walked up to Armin, "Where's Mikasa?" He asked.

"She went upstairs to take a breather, she's not ready to face him." Armin responded as he sighed, turning his head to the map on the table, memorizing the layout repeatedly to make sure the plan didn't fail; they couldn't afford to fail it after all.

Jean's face fell. "Ah, right. No one can face him after leaving us stranded without saying a word" Armin nodded."The only person that can, would be Levi, he was livid when Eren left without a word, remember? He'll beat the shit out of him once he gets a hold of Eren, Even if I'm angry at Eren, I'll try warning Eren before that happens." Armin traced the outline with his fingers getting a proper idea of the layout.

Jean only stared at whatever Armin was doing."Do you think she'd mind someone checking in on her?"

"I'm not sure. You got to figure that out yourself. When she thinks of Eren she becomes quite scary so I don't bother her at all"

"Then I'll just have to prepare myself. I'll stop bothering you now"He left Armin's side and went to get some extra drinks. He was walking through the bar a few feet away from the stairs when Sasha called out to him.

"Jean, do you want to join us? We need a third party to play this game." She said cheerfully, eyeing him in a funny way as she sipped a glass of rum. He walked closer to the two, "I'll join later, you guys enjoy the game." He was about to turn his heel when Sasha disrupted him again.

"Where are you going?" Sasha pried. Connie stretched his arms, and rested his hands behind his head, looking disinterested as ever, he butted in," I would try to play a game to release some tension, why don't you try?"

"Like I said, I have somewhere to be.'' Jean said flatly, getting annoyed by the two that didn't seem to let him go easily without him needing to explain himself. Sasha and Connie looked at each other, Sasha nodded at Connie and Connie returned the gesture, both smiling a smug smile. Only those two knew what the hell each other were thinking, they were like twins with the same brain and Jean was trapped in the middle of their weirdness, the only one left clueless. He furrowed his brows in confusion as the two looked at him suspiciously.

"Going to Mikasa, aren't you?" Sasha teased as she chuckled, turning to Connie to see his reaction, "You know, Jean. You're quite too obvious. You have that dumb lovestruck look on your face" Connie said, smirking, he placed his feet on the table. Sasha scolded him and shoved Connie's feet on the floor. "What are you guys, implying?" He flushed red, gritting his teeth he sighed, massaging his temple. "You know what, I don't have time for this, I'll leave."

Connie watched him leave then turned his head to face Sasha. "He becomes a complete fool when it comes to Mikasa. Boy does he act all decisive and put together but even a mention of Mikasa, he loses his logic and reasoning, it's hilarious." Connie chuckled while Sasha looked at him amusingly.

"What do you except? That's an attitude of a man in love. I know because my Nico is like that." Sasha examined the game pieces in her hand as she drooled over her chef, and Connie, seeing her twit face, rolled his eyes.
