Crucified -Jean X Reader

GoodBye Ackerman

Jean stood leaning by the side of the building. His hands picked at the flowers in his hands, anxiously. He glanced at the clock and began to make his way to Mikasa's door. He braced himself before he lightly knocked on the door.

No response.

"Mikasa?"

Nothing.

He tried again. Maybe she was in the bathroom or something, but yet as he stood there in silence for 5 whole minutes, the door never opened. Could it be that he got stood up? He huffed out, he should have known better than to believe that Mikasa would ever give him a chance. 

He slumped his shoulders as he walked out of the building. He stared up at the sky. He felt something hit his side. He glance down to look at the flowers still In hand. His eyes followed to the trash can then back to the flowers again. He began walking over to the trash can, determine to throw away the flowers that will remind him of his failure actions today.

"How embarrassing, How the hell am I suppose to explain this to Y/N. All that work for nothing"

Midway in throwing away the flowers, he retorted his actions. Why waste flowers when he can simple give them to you. They can be a thank you gift for all the help. He turned around and made his way through the superior hall to your office.

As he turned the corner he spotted you walking down the hall. You spotted him and sent him a big smile.

"Hey Lover Boy-"

"Here" he said shoving the flowers into your hands.

Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion not understanding. You looked up at him waiting for him to explain himself.

"She's not there" he said casting his eyes to the floor, "I'm sorry for wasting your time"

Finally understanding you let out a bit grin. You grabbed his hand and made him grab the bouquet of flowers again.

"I know she's not Jean"

His head shot up to you. You didn't tell him nothing more, you simply gestured him to follow you. Near your door you abruptly stopped and turned to face him. Jean almost fell into you but he caught himself.

 You began fixing Jean's collar, while he just kept his eyes fixate on you.

"Don't fuck this up" you said raking your hands through his hair.

"Fuck what, I already told you-"

"She's in my office waiting for you"

He stopped for a moment as his eyes widen.

"What? Why-"

"Stop asking questions and go" you said shoving him.

He turned around to look at you for a moment. You leaned by the wall giving him a thumbs up. He turned around and began walking to your office door. He felt himself sweat. He turned around to look at you once again but he couldn't spot you anymore on the wall. He squinted his eyes trying to see where you went.

"Oi! Hurry up"

Jean followed the voice to see you and Levi peeking your heads out from his office.

"Yeah Hurry Horse Boy before she changes her mind" you snickered.

"Yeah, so Y/N can leave my office quicker too"

You smacked Levi, "Shut it Tea Bag!"

Jean smiled feeling his nervousness go away. He gave the both of you and firm nod and knocked on your office door.

"Y/N-" Mikasa froze seeing Jean.

"Hi" he breathed staring at Mikasa.

"Hi"  she said shyly, her hands automatically went to her neck trying to hid in her scarf that usually sat there, but for tonight it was absent.

"You look beautiful..." he handed over the flowers to her "These are for you"

Mikasa looked down at the flowers. A small smile appeared on her face as she smelled them, a pleasant aura, made its way to her nostrils.

"How did-"

"Armin told me"  he replied shyly to her.

He offered Mikasa his hand and she shyly took it as they began walking down the hallway. Jean turned to his side to give you once last glimpse, but you and Levi were gone.

---

You closed your eyes as you smiled to yourself satisfied, leaning on Levi's door. You decided to wait until Jean and Mikasa were completely gone so you wouldn't intrude.

"Playing Cupid are we"

"I'm just helping the boy, he deserves someone good from him" you said keeping your eyes closed, as you tried to hear footsteps walk away.

"So do you"

You peeked one eye open to look at him. You closed it again as your smile left your face.

"I already have someone good for me."

"Erwin ins't good for you"

You didn't reply.

"Y/N, I've been thinking" he said walking over to you and leaning next to you.

"You shouldn't be" you retorted.

He simple ignored your comment, "You and Erwin are the closest things I can call friends, especially you. I can't help but feel that Erwin doesn't really care for you"

"He does"

"Does he? What about Marie? Or did you choose to forget?"

Your eyes shot open not believing the words that escaped from his mouth. You turned your head to face him, you began to burn red. 

"Y/N I rather you get close to that horse face than stay with Erwin"

"Levi your speaking nonsense" you said trying to keep your temp under control

"Oh am I? Erwin may have said that he'll support you, but Y/n you don't find it a bit strange that all the sudden he wants to be with you when you're at your best? Don't you think maybe he's trying to use you to steal the Commander role from under you?!"

"STOP IT ENOUGH LEVI"

You turned and shoved him away from his door trying to open it. Levi gripped your wrist.

"STOP TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM THE TRUTH Y/N!"

"What do you know about the truth"  you gritted your teeth.

"More than you Y/N, unlike you I don't turn blind to it"

You casted your eyes to the floor, "Stay out of my shit Levi"

"No, as your friend I have to protect you"

You felt something in you snap. You let out a dry chuckle.

"Oh really? So did you protect Isabelle and Farlan?"

"Y/N ...you don't know what you're saying, you're in the heat of the moment" he whispered trying to ignore the hurtful comment you made.

"But I do know what I'm saying. Have you forgotten..." 

you turned to look at him straight in the eye  

"That I was the one who helped Erwin kill your friends"

Levi gulped, "Regardless of wether you helped or not, we're friends -"

"We're not friends" you snatched your arm way from him "So stop caring for me"

You opened the door walking out to your office.

"I just don't want any of my friends to suffer anymore, let alone get killed" he said behind you softly.

You opened the door to your office as you turned to Levi. You gave him a fake smile.

"Then good thing we're not friends. Goodbye Ackerman"
