Brown Sugar

"This is where you wanted to eat? This isn't even a real brunch spot.", Jean said to you with disappointment

Well he asked where I wanted to go so

You had dragged him to a bubble tea spot near campus. If you told him the number of times you've been here, he'd think you were insane. Even the employees knew you and you had tried 75% of their flavors.

"It's not a brunch spot but it is a bubble tea spot", you said laughing

Jean offered to pay for brunch and since bubble tea was getting more expensive so you weren't about to waste the opportunity for a guy to pay for your $7 boba

Inflation won't stop me from getting boba, I always find a way

The two of you walked in and Jean was inspecting the menu that was taped on the wall. You looked over at him, "Have you ever had bubble tea before?"

He scratched the back of his head, "Um I don't think so. Also I don't really know what any of these flavors are. Like what's a taro?"

I can't believe he just disrespected taro like that

"It's a flavor, I don't really know how to explain it but since it's your first time here...try the brown sugar." you said pointing to the picture of it on the menu

"Okay but you order for me. I don't want to embarrass myself if I order it wrong."

You laughed and walked over to the counter to order the two drinks. Of course, Jean came over too so he could pay for them. After a few minutes, the drinks were made and you both sat down at a table outside the place.

Jean was about to take his first sip and you stared at him carefully to see his reaction. You liked it when other people enjoyed the same food or drinks as you.

He gave you an iffy look, "It's good! I'm not a big fan of the little balls at the bottom though.", he said pointing to the tapioca pearls

"That's reasonable", you responded as you took a sip out of yours. "Oh my god, I just remembered I came here with Sasha and Connie once and Connie accidentally got a tapioca pearl to come out of his nose. It was so funny."

Jean paused and put his drink down, "Y/n that's disgusting.". He started to laugh after he said that.

"So I'm guessing you've known Sasha and Connie for a while? You're pretty close with them.", he continued talking

You perked up from your seat, "Yeah! I went to the same kindergarten as Sasha when I lived in Paradis for a year. I first met Connie at Sasha's Sweet 16 and after that we would all hang out together."

Sudden flashbacks from the Sweet 16 came flooding to your head and you got chills. The first encounter you had with Connie was extremely embarrassing.

"Oh I didn't know you lived in Paradis for a year. I was supposed to go to her Sweet 16 but that same night I got grounded by my mom because of my grades."

You gasped, "Wow Jean, I can't believe you missed your best friend's Sweet 16"

He rolled his eyes, "Shush. Anyways I wanted to ask you something about the other night at my party."

As long as it's not about Reiner, I'll answer it

"Ask away."

"What happened between you and Reiner?"

Bruh

After taking a deep breath, you answered. "He's just a narcissist."

I'm not wrong though, he is

Jean laughed a bit, "I mean everyone knows that but he told me that you slapped him."

Reiner has such a fucking big mouth

"I did, I won't deny it but he had it coming."

"But why is my question"

He's not going to give up, is he?

"We had a thing but it didn't work out. I thought you'd know though since you're friends with him."

Jean shook his head, "Just because he was at my party doesn't mean we're friends. I kinda just hang around him because we both played lacrosse in high school and our schools would verse each other regularly. Oh! I forget the two of you went to the same high school. Did you ever go to any of his lacrosse games? He sucked big time." , Jean rambled

Once Jean mentioned lacrosse, you went silent and started thinking about the past. It's been more than a year but you couldn't stop thinking about him. You hoped you'd finally stop one day but he is currently all you can think about.

"Yn?", Jean said as he looked at you a bit concerned. You were quiet for a minute

You eventually snapped out of your daze , "Sorry, I thought of someone I knew who also played lacrosse so I was just thinking about that."

"That's okay, don't worry.", Jean responded

Hopefully he doesn't think I'm crazy for zoning out

"So what position did you play?", you tried continuing the conversation

"Midfielder."

The universe was definitely against you because how come Jean played the same position as him? It just had to be today that everything was reminding you of him.

"Nice, I think the person I'm thinking about also was a midfielder.", I gulped after saying that

What if he knew Colt? He did say he would verse our school a lot

Jean seemed to be in shock, "No way, was he also on Marley High's lacrosse team? I might know him then."

Why did I continue talking? I should have just changed the subject. I can't do this right now nor am I in the mood to talk about my ex boyfriend and his lacrosse skills

You got up from your seat. "Sorry Jean, I have to get going since I have another class soon.", you lied

"That's fine, don't worry. Do you want me to walk you-"

Before he could finish his sentence you had already started speed walking to campus

I hate myself for this, I guess I'll go back to my apartment and hide

Jean watched as you awkwardly ran back to "campus". He felt bad that you had to suddenly leave but also felt as if he had said the wrong thing during your conversation.

I wanna see her again already even though I just spent thirty minutes with her, Jean thought to himself.

He decided to sit outside for a bit more and enjoy his drink

That was until he heard a faint voice calling his name

"Kirstein, was that y/n I just saw run off?"
