Jealous much? (JeanxReader)

Chapter 1

I threw on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt while I waited for a text from Sasha. I was going out to the movies with her, Connie, Niccolo, and Jean. I knew I should be excited, but today was one of those days where I knew concealing my feelings for my best friend of 6 years would be harder then usual. Jean knew I liked him. Hell, everyone did. I also knew that he liked me some too. No one was friends like us without having some sort of feelings for each other. 

We had tried dating before. Multiple times actually. Yet each time we started dating our usual comfort and banter with each other would go out the window. We both turned into a pile of stammering mush. I really didn't mind much. At least that's what I told myself. 

I had met him in the 6th grade. We both quickly became inseparable and have been to this day. Whenever people met us for the first time they always thought we were dating. It happened all the time. Nobody's fault except for ours really.  We pretty much had to be touching each other at all times. Whether it be his arm around my shoulder or holding hands it didn't matter. See, both of our love language is physical touch. I honestly hated being touched, but when it came to Jean, I didn't mind to feel his hand in mine.

I sighed and checked my phone again. Sasha was supposed to be here 5 minutes ago to pick me up. I figured she ran into some traffic or something so I wasn't that worried. I just hated being alone with my thoughts on days like these. It seemed all I could think about was Jean and how much I cared for him. I knew that I wouldn't be able to look him in the eye today. It never got awkward when this happened. We just were very careful of what we said to each other. 

He had his days too. He would come into school and instead of being his loud annoying self, he would be shy and quiet. I never minded much when he was shy. It showed a different side to him then people usually saw. I knew he was a hopeless romantic and honestly so was I. I knew he had a soft side he didn't like to show, but when he was with his mom or cousins or any animals. He became this kind and soft spoken man. Whenever I saw him like that I couldn't help but to look at him in awe.

I was finally pulled out of my thoughts by my phone going off.

Sasha: We are pulling into your driveway now

I got up and walked outside to see Connie and Sasha fighting over something in the front seat. Niccolo was in the back trying to calm them down while Jean was staring at his phone. I walked over and got into the back of the car and sat next to Jean. When the door opened Jean looked up and beamed at me. "Hey! you ready to go watch the movie?" as I sat down he put his arm around me. Nothing out of the ordinary. Yet I felt butterflies in my stomach. 

I looked up at him and smiled, "Yes I am. What movie is it again?" When he looked into my eyes he noticed that expression that he hated seeing there. He hated it because when he saw it he wished for nothing more then to just hold you. He couldn't though. He took a little to long to answer so Sasha looked back and answered for him.

"We are going to see The Shining. I've heard it's super scary." Her and Connie laughed, Jean and Niccolo looked excited, and me? Well I groaned.

I hated scary movies. They all knew that too. Looks like I'll have to suck it up though. I looked over and noticed Jean staring at his phone looking very anxious. I elbowed his side softly. "You good? Seems as though you are waiting for some news." He looked at me and grew very shy and a small blush showed up on his cheeks.

"Uh well, I kinda invited Mikasa. I'm waiting for her reply." I knew that shouldn't hurt me. I loved Mikasa. She was very sweet and down to earth. Yet I knew that she was the only other girl to capture Jeans affections. Of course I shouldn't care. This will be good. For both of us. Maybe I could finally get over this crush. I smiled up at him.

"I see you are finally taking some initiative. Good for you. Did you tell her other people would be there so she doesn't feel trapped? It might be a lot for her to agree to this if she thinks its just you two." He looked surprised at what I said but quickly shook it off. He slowly shook his head no.

"No I didn't. Should I send another message saying that?" I nodded. He quickly started typing on his phone and pressed send. A minute passed by when his phone dinged.

Mikasa: I'm actually hanging out with Eren right now otherwise I would love to go. Sorry. Thank you for the invite!"

"Tell her to bring Eren. I'll hang out with him so you two can hang out." I knew Jean didn't want to because him and Eren weren't the best of friends. But it involved Mikasa. He would suck it up. He told her to bring Eren along and she agreed and said they would meet us there.

"Are you sure you'll be fine with Eren? I know technically we always hang out at the movies." I didn't really know where this was coming from. I thought it was a great idea. Me and Eren had always gotten along. Plus maybe not being around Jean like usual would help take my mind off things. I nodded my head and then we sat in silence the rest of the drive. Well somewhat silent. Sasha and Connie argued over the music the entire way there.

When we got to the theater you saw Mikasa and Eren waiting outside. Mikasa was wearing a pair of jeans a sweatshirt. Eren was wearing sweatpants and what looked to be an old sweatshirt. His hair was tied up into a bun. I always thought it looked good in a bun. As we got out of the car Sasha grabbed Niccolos hand and dragged him inside to get snacks. Even though she already had a purse full. Connie followed after them. Niccolo and Sasha have been dating for the past 3 months, but sometimes it seemed that Niccolo third wheeled more than Connie did. 

Connie and Sasha met 2 years before Jean and I did. They were closer friends than anyone I've ever seen. They tried dating once too. Yet nothing changed in their relationship except for the title and they couldn't bring themselves to even kiss. So, they went back to being friends. Now everyone just sees them as siblings.

Jean grabbed my hand nervously and squeezed. I looked up to see him full of anxiety. He had no idea what to do. I let go of his hand and guided him to Mikasa and Eren. 

"Hey guys! I'm so happy y'all could join us." Eren smiled at me and so did Mikasa. 

"So I'm guessing you and Jean will be sharing a bucket of popcorn y/n?" Eren looked at me. I wondered why he was asking. I could tell Jean was about to say yes because we always do. Yet he invited Mikasa here and I was trying to get over him so, why not take a chance.

I cut Jean off before he could answer, "Actually Eren, I was thinking maybe you and I could share?" He smiled at me and nodded and then turned to Mikasa to check with her. I looked at Jean. He looked kinda hurt. "Now you and Mikasa can share" I whispered to him and then pushed him towards Mikasa and walked off with Eren to get our tickets.
