Crucified -Jean X Reader

Stable Duty

It was a hot day. Anyone can feel the radiating heat coming from the stables. It was almost as if you can see the actual heat waves. And as hot as it was it was still no excuse for Levi. 

Jean followed Levi as he led him to the stables. Entering, Jean felt like he was hit by a giant fireball. Not only was it hot but it was incredibly stuffy. It felt like he entered a room that was crowded to the maximum capacity with no room left to move or breathe.

Levi stopped in his tracks and turned to Jean. He decided for Jean to start working towards the back and start making his way to the front, so the farther he made it from the heat as he worked his way up, the more motivation he had to work faster and get out of it.

"Deals a Deal Kirstein"

"Right, still can't thank you enough for helping her out with the paperwork"

"You know I could have done it for free if you didn't open your mouth, sacrificing yourself"

"Oh then-"

Levi turned on his feet and began walking, the heat was already too much for him.

"Get working Horse boy"

"Yes sir" Jean sighed

"Hey" Levi called out by the door.

Jean turned to face him

"Y/N said enjoy your family time with your siblings" he smirked before he disappeared.

"Not even surprised" Jean muttered under his breathe.

He grabbed a shovel and began working right away. He couldn't help, but smile at the thought of you. You weren't even there and yet you still found a way to pick on him. You sure were something. He stopped scooping for a minute as he propped his arms on the shovel and laid his head on them, in thought.

You seriously were something like of a dream. His real dream girl. Jean couldn't feel happier with anyone else, but you. If he were honest, he's never smiled as much as he smiles with you. Not even when he was with Mikasa. Every chance he's got with you, he wasn't afraid to pour all his feelings into his affections. Pulling you into a hug or a kiss whenever he can. He wanted you to feel loved. He wanted you to know that he loves you even if hadn't confessed it to you yet.

Who would of thought how your relationship with him would have turned out. From an Advisor and Cadet to fellow acquaintances, to being his relationship coach, to friends and so on. His silly thoughts of thinking he stood a chance was only just a mere joke. He was so blinded, enjoying all  his time with you, he hadn't even notice the way you both had grown close and fond of each other until he finally felt your lips on his.

He sighed remembering that night. It was his favorite kiss and most memorable moment. It was Deja Vu, but it only made that night more magical. It was as if he was given the chance to rewind his actions and make the correct choice instead of going on that date with Mikasa. But still even if it wasn't a rewind, he couldn't be happier that he did date Mikasa. If it wasn't for her, you and Jean would have never grown close. There'd be no practice dates, no sentimental feelings being poured out and no comforting from your warm and inviting arms. How he wanted to stay in your arms forever. How he wanted to snuggle into your chest as he took in your scent. How he wanted to confess his undying admiration and love for you.

"Dam" Jean shook his head, leaving his pensive state.

"I really need to confess soon or this shit is gonna eat me alive" he groaned. 

He looked down at the mess he still needed to clean up. He peek his head and counted how many stables there were. Reaching 8, he stop counting, already getting a headache, not wanting to imagine how long this was going to take him.
