3rd Person POV
// A week later //
Y/n and Jean went about their business from that night on hardly interacting with one another to the point even their peers noticed something was up in their odd aggressive relationship.
"Jean," the usually bubbly teen called to his mate. "What's wrong Jean? You're usually so.. feisty.?" The arrogant blonde scoffed.
"Please Marco, I'm just above scum like her. I don't see the point in even talking to her anymore, that idiot." Marco didn't like hearing Jean say stuff about that, especially not about his friend.
"That's not very nice," Marco said with a disappointed look.
"Well neither is she! Anytime given she could walk up to me an sock me!"
He had a point but it was only after he provoked her that fists flew. He could never keep his trap shut.
"Only after you find something to pick on her about! You're so self absorbed you don't see the pain you cause other people!" Marco finally told Jean what was up and how he is also in the wrong.
"You're not the only person in the wrong and I'm not defending her or you, you both just need to take a step back and look at the situation from afar. You can't see the big picture up close, you know."
Marco's words had a point, ringing through Jean's head all day until he finally bumped into a particular h/c haired girl. His first instinct was to sneer but he suppressed it with a creepy forced smile.
"Uhh.. y-you okay there.?" Y/n was thoroughly weirded out by his unusual behavior lately, even though they haven't spoke in about a week.
"H-have you uh.." his forced smile almost dropped, looking more nervous than fake, an emotion Y/n couldn't identify was trapped behind his eyes, saying something he couldn't.
"You gonna spit it out or what?" She looked at him bluntly. This annoyed him but he remembered what Marco said. 'Just gotta step back and look at it from another view.' He took a breath before continuing hesitantly.
"Did you r-read the uh, the letter.?" He put his hand on the back of his neck nervously, smile dropping completely, just that weird, nervous look. He looked genuine. Y/n nodded before he spoke again.
"Do you want to try to be-" he coughed awkwardly before saying the word, "Friends." She rolled her eyes sarcastically.
"To be honest I thought we were before," she gave him a confused but also cheeky grin. He looked up at her surprised.
"So does that mean-"
"Yeah yeah, we can be 'fRiEnDs,' just don't get any ideas Jeany," she mocked almost playfully. She punched his shoulder before saying, "Now don't we have some special training to get to before our asses get reamed?" Jean smiled slightly before softly pushing her to the side, "Last one there's titan fodder," he shouted before sprinting towards the direction of the field.
"HEY THAT DOESN'T COUNT I WASNT READY!" Y/n shouted after him, running full speed to catch up. All she heard was him laughing loudly and running faster.

"So it seems you guys patched things up," Eren said with a mouthful of bread. "Seems almost too good though.." he finished saying between his large bites.
"Yes, it does seem a little odd. But I do still think it's a friendship if that's what you were thinking Eren," Mikasa chimed in.
"Woah woah guys what are you talking about of course it's just a friendship, why wouldnt it be?" I looked at my baked potato for a second before cutting into it.
"Well," Eren swallowed a chunk of food before continuing, "I mean don't you see the way jean looks at you every day? I mean he just looks like he wants to be around you in more than a friend way, y'know," Eren looked at you sort of seriously.
I stared back with the same expression, then across the mess hall back to Jean. I could tell he was looking at me, as he whipped his head to look at something else as soon as I made eye contact.
"I dunno Eren. Even if that was the case I don't know how I'd feel about it. I mean, were just friends you know, nothing more. I can assure you of that." I took one last look at the sandy haired boy across the room before standing up to discard my tray.
