a ten-minute walk and two joints later, sasha and connie led the way as you entered sina's pizzeria.
there were a few students chatting away at the tables by the entrance, but it wasn't super crowded.
as we walked up to the counter, someone sprang up from behind it. "yes! found it!" the employee exclaimed, cradling a single airpod in his hand. he was fairly tall and looked about your age.
"jean you lose your airpods nearly every day," connie says with a laugh.
jean hadn't even noticed the three of you standing there and almost dropped the earbud again at the sound of connie's voice.
"you can starve." he deadpans. "anyway hey sasha, who's your friend?"
"this is our new roommate y/n! y/n this is our friend jean." sasha introduces the two of you while connie continues pouting.
you offer jean a wave and exchange hello's before taking a second to look at the menu. you all decided to split a large pizza and some garlic bread.
"i'm actually due for my break soon if you guys wanna eat here?" jean suggested. you all agree and connie sets off to pick out a table.
as you wait for connie, who was walking around in circles trying to decide on if he wanted a booth or not, you and sasha just stand and chat at the counter while jean put in your order.
when the pizza was ready, you watched as sasha quickly grabbed the food and made a beeline to the booth connie finally decided on. she immediately opened the box and shoved a slice right into her mouth.
you burst out laughing when she started yelling about the pizza burning her mouth.
"get used to that. sasha's very... food motivated." jean said, seeming like he struggled to find a nice way to put it.
"more like she's batshit crazy when she's hungry and it's even worse when she's stoned." someone spoke, causing you and jean to turn.
the voice came from another employee who had emerged from the kitchen. she was tall with short brown hair and hooded eyes, wearing a blank expression upon her freckled face.
"you have such a way with words, ymir." jean pretended to swoon, and ymir rolled her eyes.
feeling your gaze on her, ymir looked over at you. you felt your cheeks heat up as her intense gaze studied you.
you were the first to look away when jean spoke.
"i'm gonna take my break now since it's slow. oh and by the way ymir this is y/n, she's sasha and connie's roommate and just moved here so be nice."
"jean i'm only mean to you when you do dumb shit and you usually deserve it." ymir pointed out, and you laughed at jean's hurt expression.
when you looked at ymir, the stoic brunette was eyeing you again.
"nice to meet you, y/n." ymir said, reaching over the counter to hold out her hand for you to shake.
you slowly clasped her hand in yours and she shook it, her mouth curving upwards into a small smile.
"it's nice to meet you too, ymir." your cheeks felt hot under her stare and you smiled back at her, trying to ignore your sudden nerves.
after what felt like forever, the girl let go of your hand and jean looked back and forth between the two of you.
"ymir i've known you for five years and you've never smiled at me." jean said, raising an eyebrow at you.
"don't count on it either," she replied before heading for the back. you couldn't help but chuckle at their exchange.
she has a pretty smile.
"i cannot believe you just saw how she treats me and you can laugh, y/n. cold as ice, the both of you." he stated dramatically, before heading towards the booth.
you follow behind him and take a seat next to connie while he sat next to sasha.
"guys y/n just met ymir and... ymir fucking smiled at her." jean announces dramatically.
connie and sasha both stop mid-chew and stare over at you. "she what?!" sasha asks with her mouth still full of pizza.
you simply shrug. "she was probably just being nice, you guys act like she never smiles."
"that's because she doesn't! she's serious as all hell all the time, she only relaxes a little when we smoke, but she's got a mean poker face." connie said, thankfully after he'd finished chewing.
"connie's just intimidated by her because she can and has beat his ass up. we've been friends for a while and she's chill when you get to know her. she's pretty closed off around new people though, so i'm surprised she smiled at you." sasha chimed in.
jean grinned, realizing something. "well since you and ymir are cool y/n, at this point it's my duty to invite you to our sesh squad! since you've met more than half of us, after all."
"he's the only one that calls it that." sasha and connie said at the same time. the three of you burst out laughing, and jean insisted that the name would catch on eventually.
"for real though y/n, a group of us meet up at jean's place to smoke and hang out, you should come with us! it's everyone you met today plus our other friends eren, mikasa and armin." sasha suggested, smiling brightly.
you couldn't help but return her smile and nod. "that sounds like fun, i'm down."
"alright cool! i gotta head back to work, but you guys can come over whenever you're done classes tomorrow." jean says, standing up from the table and waving before going on his way.
while you, sasha and connie finish eating, you talk about when your classes end the following day and make a plan.
