Some Say (Jean Kirstein X Reader)

Chapter Twenty Two

2 months later -

Sitting in the grass of a field, I watch Historia chase after a couple of kids. I relish in the calm and serenity of the scene. The last couple of months have been pure hell for me. Training has been full-on, Eren and I have been pushing each other to master hardening our titan forms. It is taking its toll on my body, not that I would mention that to Jean or Levi.

So, to be able to relax in this moment is pure bliss. A couple of kids come running over to me, sitting on my lap and leaning into me.

"Miss (y/n), can you stay here with us forever?" One asks with wide, hopeful eyes.

A smile comes to my face. "But then who would protect the walls."

This gets them thinking, they suddenly point over to the boys leaning against the fence. Armin, Eren, and Jean are talking to one another, looks like Jean is harassing Eren once again.

"They can, you can stay here and be a Queen with Miss Historia."

I tap my chin looking over at the guys. "That is a tempting offer but I need to keep those three in check. Who do you think is the better soldier? Them or me?"

"You are. I bet you can beat them all with your hands tied behind your back." One of them pipes up.

I laugh, capturing the guy's attention. Jean's face lights up as he watches me. I give him a quick wink.

"I think he likes you." The little girl giggles.

"Do you think so?" I whisper. "Should I call him over?"

"Yes." She squeals, jumping up and down.

I fan myself with my hand. "Okay, wish me luck," I say as I motion for Jean to come over.

He pushes himself off the fence and walks over, there is caution in his eyes as he approaches. The little girl can barely contain her excitement as he stops in front of us, placing his hands on his hips.

"What's up?" He asks.

"So, she thinks you like me and I mean, I kind of like you so..." I say, acting up.

Jean clicks on and decides to lay on the charm. "You're the most beautiful woman in the Survey Corps so can you blame me for appreciating you."

The little girl is basically swinging off my arm with a grin plastered on her face. "You two should kiss, that's what people in love do."

I hold back a laugh as I look at Jean. He holds his hand down towards me and I take it. He pulls me from the ground, instantly resting his hand on my hip.

"Only if it's okay with (y/n)."

"You have my permission." I look into his eyes.

He lets go of my hand and places it on the side of my face, his thumb caresses my cheek. "You're so beautiful." He says softly.

"You're not too bad yourself," I answer.

He leans forward pressing his lips against mine. I melt into him and feel all my stress just wash away. My hand moves over his on my hip, he shifts it linking his fingers with mine.

The kid's cheer, making Jean and I smile into the kiss. We pull apart, Jean presses his forehead against mine.

"Never leave me (y/n)." He whispers. "I love you too much to know what to do without you now."

"Same goes for you, Jean. I need you by my side."

"You two are so gross, there are children out here." Eren pipes up from over by the fence.
