cute cafe date - jearmin

♡

Highschool au, and I'll be using Isayama's official highschool au designs.
English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistake.
Both are minors!

The short blonde guy was running to his class. He wasn't late, but he always arrived to classes five minutes before they started. It was like, a rule that he had with himself. He kept running until he stumbled into something.

— Ouch!....— Armin looked around, but he couldn't find what, or who made him trip. He got up and picked his books — There's nobody here...Who even did-

— Shhhh....Shut up for a second, blondie — Someone quickly covered his mouth. Armin could perfectly tell who that was just by his voice. Jean Kirstein, a popular guy who liked to mess with him, and call him stupid nicknames, like that one.

— Jean?! What are you even-

— Just shut up and follow me, ok? — Jean said. Armin agreed with his head, and they quickly started to walk.

After some minutes, the boys were outside of the school. It was actually hard for them to not get caught by any teacher or employee, but it worked.

— Hold my hand — Jean said, quickly holding the other's cold hand. He blushed a bit.

— Why? — Armin was kinda scared to say something, but he thought that was ok to ask.

— So you won't get lost, dummy — Jean answered in an annoyed voice tone, while starting to walk to a specific place, still holding the other's hand. That was partly true, but more of a lie. He just wanted to hold Armin's hand.

Armin was very scared. Why was his bully bringing him to somewhere that he didn't even know? It was extremely weird, and scary, but Arlert didn't have the courage to ask where were they going, so he just kept following the other.

The guys kept walking for some minutes, not even saying a word, until they reached a small, but comfortable cafeteria. Armin was too lost on his thoughts to even notice the place that he was entering.

— Here, sit — Jean said, pointing to one of the chairs in front of the desk he had chosen, while letting the other's hand go.

They both quickly sat on the chairs, at the same time. The blondie looked around, paying attention. There was an awkward silence. Armin was trying to understand why he was there, while Jean didn't know what to say.

— So uh.....What do you want to eat? You can order whatever you want, don't worry about the money....— Jean said awkwardly, avoiding eye contact. He had a little blush on his face.

— Jean....You could've just asked for the homework answers, no need to bring me to a cute cafe...I don't have my notebooks here but I can give you the answers later...— Armin answered, a bit confused and scared. 'Why is Jean blushing?' he asked himself.

— What? Ugh, how can you be the smartest student, and yet still super dumb? — Kirstein complained — I don't want your stupid homework, I just want to eat a lunch with you...Now, do you already know what you want?

— Wait! I'm still confused....So uhhh...Like a date? — Armin asked, Jean said 'yes' with his head — But why would you want to have a date with me? I thought you hated me...

— Uhhh....W-well....You are....Very p-pretty.....And smart...And kind.....— Jean avoided eye contact again.

— Well uhh...I didn't know you thought that....— Armin had a small smile on his face.

They looked at each other for some seconds, without saying anything. Armin still had to process the fact that his bully actually really liked him, while Jean was worried that Armin didn't like him that way back.
