Y/n Pov:

Y/n: I'm gonna kill you!

I attempted to leap over the table we were all sitting at, but I was stopped by Eren, Armin, Marco, and Connie. Reiner and Bertholdt were listening in on our conversation and both came to help out. Reiner went over to Jean to make sure he wouldn't come at me, while Bertholdt stood in between us as a barrier.

Jean: Jesus man! I wasn't being serious! You need to learn self-control!

Y/n: *Trying to still reach towards him* I don't care! I'm more pissed that you didn't check to see how others would react to you saying that! Some of us regret what we said to them!

This made everyone but Armin and Eren freeze. They all were confused why I blurted that out. It also caught me a little off guard also.

Bertholdt: Y/n? What do you mean by that?

Everyone agreed when Bertholdt asked that question. I just stood there trying to calm my thoughts before I spoke again.

Y/n: I-I lost my parents back in Shiganshina. I also had a sister but... The entire time I was in Trost, she never came to look for me... I felt betrayed and I hated myself... *Beginning to tear up* I just wish that I said something else...

Jean had a look of regret in his eyes.

Jean: W-what did yo-

Armin: Now's not the time Jean. Let's end this conversation here.

Jean didn't attempt to ask any further questions. Instead, everyone went to their beds and just went to sleep.

*A few days later*

We were starting our training a couple of days later. It was to make sure we could use Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, or ODM for short. I wasn't doing too well on it and neither was Eren... Jean and Mikasa seemed to be a pro at it though, so I decided that I'd go to Jean to ask for help because Mikasa doesn't really know how to put things into words. Also, I'd ask Armin but he tends to go over my head sometimes.

Y/n: Hey Jean, can I talk to you later? In private?

Jean looked at me with a nervous expression on his face. Connie was there also making sure that we'd not get into a fight.

Jean: U-uh sure... Is it fine if Connie joins us though? I don't mean to be rude...

I didn't want Connie to join because I was embarrassed that I had to ask him for help. I still let Connie tag along though since he did good with the ODM gear as well.

Y/n: Oh sure. I guess he can come...

*Later*

Jean and Connie arrived where I asked them to go.

Y/n: Oh good... You made it...

Connie: So why did you want to see Jean hu-

Connie was interrupted by Jean hitting him in the back of the head.

Jean: Just shut it Connie! He wanted to talk to me!

I stood there embarrassed because I didn't want to ask for help at all... God, I wish I wasn't that stubborn...

Y/n: *Mumbles* I need your help with the ODM gear...

Jean: Huh? What did you sa-

I cut him off in embarrassment.

Y/n: *I bowed to attempt to persuade him more* I said I need your help with the ODM gear!

Jean and Connie were both surprised by what I said to them.
