Story theme song: I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross
Jason came flying down the hallway leading to the mess hall and burst the doors. "GUYS!!!!! GUESS WHAT DAY IT IS!!!!" He yelled excitedly. "Umm... June 1st. Why?" A confused Hange responds. "YEAH!!! IT'S JUNE 1ST!!! DO YOU KNOW THAAAT MEANS?" His excited attitude about the day was a little off putting to the group consisting of Mike, Erwin, Levi, and Hange. He's never been this excited about a Tuesday. "Is something special going on?" Mike asks. "YES!! TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF PRIDE MONTH!!!!!" "Oh... that's really cool." Erwin said. "I know right! Oh by the way, there's going to be a parade in center of the city. My squad and I will be participating if any of you care to join us." "Sure! I'll walk with you." "REALLY!! Thanks Mike! Can I put some make up on you?" "Yeah, why not." "Sweet! The parade is is next week!" Jason kisses Mike's cheek before excitedly heading back to his room.

Mike has been sitting in his room replaying the kiss from a few hours earlier. Mike didn't mind the kiss, Jason and himself do stuff like this all the time. Flirting with each other jokingly and sometimes a kiss on the cheek once in a while, but this time was different. It felt different to Mike. "Maybe he likes me? Maybe I like him? I need to talk to Erwin and Hange about this."

"Oh, Mike the boy is absolutely smitten for you. I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. Plus he told me he likes you." Hange said. "Have you noticed anything different about him when you two are alone?" Erwin asked. "Now that I think about it, he seems a bit nervous when we're alone. Like he wants to say something but can't. I get a weird feeling in my stomach when I'm around him. It almost feels like butterflies." "Ooo! You like him back Mike!"
