For some reason, my feet remained glued to the floor. 

Tingling sensations continue to run over my frame, decorating my skin with goosebumps. Especially in the areas where Levi's fingers have gripped.

A boy about my age strolls up to the side of me, coming into a peripheral view. His hair seems to be two-toned. A light pink color takes up on the first half of his hair. He has an under-shave like Levi, but the rest of his hair is a deep chocolate brown.

His eyes are small, but also a shade of brown with flecks of gold.

"Hey, I just noticed you standing here, and it seems like your date left you so I just wanted to see if you were alright," He shoots out a hand in a terse manner.

"I'm Jean Kirstein by the way, what's your name?"

Flickering a brow at this sudden boy throwing an introduction to me, I hesitantly let my hand outstretch toward him.

"Ebony Night," I greet back, hesitation thick in my monotonal tone.

A smile slaps his face, "that's a really cool last name." He compliments, his smile genuine.

I nod, curling my lips inward, crinkling my chin. "Thanks."

Another pair of footsteps catch my hearing. Soon, who appears, is Eren.

A supportive hand of his lands around my shoulder. "Is he troubling you, Ebony?" Eren asks, keeping his sharp gaze on Jean.

Jean's face is painted with a scowl. "Chill out man, I was just wanting to say hi. The poor girl looked lonely." Jean defends.

"So you thought you'd come over and sweep her off her feet? She already's bonded, man." Eren snaps.

"Sheesh, all I wanted was to introduce myself. Calm yourself, Jaeger." Jean fires back.

My eyes switch to Eren who is still scowling at the brunette-haired male in front of us. "Yeah... Eren, you need to calm down. He was just being nice." I add.

"Don't defend this guy, Eb, You don't know him like I do." Eren barks.

My eyes glue to the top of the brim of my eyes, as I walk away, hissing out a huff. "Whatever, I'll just leave you two idiots to this personal conflict going on here."

"Eb, no!' Eren pouted, but a smirk sprouted on my lips as I shook my head, not meeting his gaze, and kept on walking.

"Ebony, come back! I'm a jerk, just come back and you can talk to Jean if you want to." Eren permits.

I whip my head at him, giving him a pondering, serious stare, and even Jean is full of bewilderment towards Eren. However, moments later, I whip my head back, bidding Isabel a farewell and leaving the club, Eren absent from my side.

The girl who I met from earlier, Ymir, happened to catch sight of me.

"Hey, Ebony, right?" She calls, directing a finger at me.

I make a slim nod, "that would be me." I confirm.

"Oh good, for a second, I thought my brain was playing tricks on me, and then this would turn very awkward." Ymir breathed a sigh of relief, earning a small bubble of a chuckle from me.

Her legs stroll in my direction until they're in good proximity near me.

"Sorry for not meeting up with you that day. I had some -- matters to take care of." Ymir slightly sputtered.

However, I just simply nodded, dismissing her slight hesitation. "So, what is it that you wanted to find me for?" I inquire, arching a brow at her.
