《 ✦ TOO CLOSE ✦ 》

You get another message notification as you close the messenger tab and resume walking with the others.

Since you've blocked Connie, it couldn't have been him. You double-checked and discovered it was from Jean. Jean. The man you were going to play with over a man who didn't give to shits about you.  

Is it possible that you could give Jean a chance? Maybe. When reading the message and continuing to walk with the others, you chuckled at the idea.

You sent a yes with a soft smile at the message. To which he replied with a red heart. You sighed and put your phone back in your pocket.

Mikasa saw you on your phone and turned to look at you from the side as she continued walking. You laughed as you shook your head dismissively. You say, "It's nothing." She returns her attention to the pavement with a smile.

"Bye, guys!" As you approached your street, you yelled.

Historia and Marco grinned and laughed enthusiastically in return. "(Y/N), Goodbye! Have a great night!" Marco screamed.

Mikasa gives you a gentle wave as she twirled her bangs in front of her face. "Goodbye..." As they walked on, she muttered.

You returned her smile as you walked back to your place, tilting your head back to the sidewalk.

"Thank you for coming," Jean said quietly, his hands in his pockets and leaning towards you.

He was dressed in a white hoodie with a black smile and two black exes above it, as well as black sweatpants. When you got closer to him, you laughed. With a smile, you say, "Thank you for inviting me."

When you entered the theatre, he attempted to take your side, but you declined. "Tickets for two?" In the ticket booth, a woman inquires.

Jean nods as she types on the cash register. "The Demon Slayer movie, please," Jean requests.

"That'll be $26," she says with a smile and her hat lowered from her head. After a brief glance at you, Jean withdraws cash. Under the glass barrier that separated you and the lady, he hands over the money.

She takes it from him and taps stuff on the cashier, then rips off two tickets and hands them to Jean. "Enjoy yourself!" With a wink, she said, obviously looking at you. You quietly smile as you speed up to the movie theater's snack section.

Jean slightly frowns as he steps behind you, tightly grasping your hand. This, of course, caused you to come to a halt. "What's this all about? Trying to ditch me? " With a nervous laugh, he inquires.

When you tilt your head towards him, you roll your eyes. "No, silly. The worker was just creeping me out. That's all." With a wink from you, Jean lets go of your hand. "I'm sorry, it's just—"

To silence him, you put your finger on his lips. "Shut up. No apologizes for tonight. Let's have fun and watch a movie. " With a grin, you say, removing your finger afterward.
