CHAPTER 19 — jean boy
after imprisoning annie, you were punished by your father. you willingly ignored the orders given to you and attempted to kill annie after following your heart instead of the commanders orders. lucky enough, levi punished you as a father and not as a captain. although your actions were careless, you were still the reason they were able to capture annie in the first place so they had to applaud you for that.
things were rough for you afterwards. the despair and anguish you felt never faltered and you sat in your room, always alone. refusing to see any of your friends, never speaking to mikasa when she walked in and turned your back to her. you refused to eat, train, speak to anyone, and no one ever saw you leave your room besides to use the restroom.
no one knew what to do.
that was until jean started inviting himself over, trying to play the hero in your life. but even so, he was someone who understood your pain and when he was hurting over marco's death, you were the one who helped him heal.
in the beginning you ignored him; kicking him away whenever he overstayed his welcome and would bombard you with questions about how are you? what do you want to eat? do you need anything? his attempts to help only irritated you. you didn't want his pity or attention. you just wanted to push everything and everyone away.
but no matter how many times you kicked him away, he kept coming back. every time you seemed a little distant or lost, jean felt this overwhelming need to be there for you, to pull you back from whatever darkness was eating away at you.
slowly you started opening up—never talking about annie or her imprisonment—you only ever told him when you were hungry and jean was quick to run down to the mess hall and grab you all sorts of food before you could change your mind. he went as far as skipping breakfast, lunch, and dinner with connie and sasha so he could eat with you because as the days went on, he noticed that you always ate the most when jean was also eating.
