Jean is an Idiot ( Jean x Marco )

Chapter 2

I need to find Armin.See, Armin is that one friend that is the nicest person enough to be friends with. Maybe he could pass the message to Marco for me about how I like him. It's also stupid to make some own else do something like this for you, but I was dying for him to know. I can't tell him myself, even if I wanted to, which I do.

At lunch,before Marco sat down at the table we sat at with him, Eren, Sasha, and Mikasa, I asked Armin for the favor. "Psst...Armin..." I nudged him lightly as I slipped him a note.After he read it, he seemed to have bursted into happiness. I wasn't sure why he found it so important that he had to squeal that loud about it. I looked up at him. He was smiling and squirming around as he sat in his chair at the lunch table.
"I defenitely will!When should I tell him?" I hushed him so no one would hear Armin fanboying. I thought about it for a second. "Anytime I'm not around.It'll be too awkward for me if you tell him when he can just look right across the table to me."

Marco walked up to the table and sat down in the seat between Armin and I.
Armin and I looked back and forth at each other, nervous.
"Hi guys!" He said with his cute,friendly smile. Resist Jean,resist.No matter how many times I told myself that,I couldn't help it,I stared at him. "Hey Marco," Armin started talking to him. "After lunch,I have to talk to you in private." Marco nodded. "Is it something bad?"
"No,actually something very,very good." He let out a relieved sigh.
"I'm glad it will be good." He smiled at Armin. Armin looked at me and gave me a nervous laugh.I was sort of expecting him to tell Marco a bit later than right after lunch,but I have to face this.I also feel sort of like a 'chicken' for not deciding to tell him myself.
But,this'll work right?Well,I hope.

After lunch,we all went to out next class. Armin pulled Marco over, so I decided to watch him him from a distance. I pretended to be looking at my schedule as if I was lost. It was normal though, I get lost way too easily. I pull Eren over. "Hey,come stand here and pretend to talk to me."
"What the hell,why?" He asks me.
"Look you idiot, just do as I say.You'll find out soon enough." I say to him as I pretend to be having a decent conversation with Eren. I kept looking over at Armin and Marco though.
"What are you looking at?" Eren asks. He looks over at where I was looking to see Armin and of course Marco. Eren turns back around and smirks at me. "Oooh,I see now."
"Shut up.." I say as I continue to watch them. "No, no. I definitely have to tell people about this!" He said teasingly.
"If you tell anyone about this, I'll cut you. You have my word on that!"

(Armin's POV)

How should I word this to him?I wouldn't want to ruin Jean and Marco's relationship.I would hate myself if I did that to them.They obviously love and care for each other very much.
"So um,let's have a talk.." I say with a smile.
"Okay." He nodded and continued to listen to me carefully. "Err...so sometimes two people love each other very much,and.."
"Woah," He cuts me off. "It sounds like your giving me the talk.I already know how people have children,both ways.Or is there three,but I mean,if it's just a joke,tell me later,I have to get to class with Jean.What class do I even have next?" He mumbles to himself.
"S-Sorry,I mean,it's about Jean,we all know Jean,right?"
"Of course." He answers with a bright smile. "H-He's in love with you." Marco still continued to smile but his expression turned into a surprised look. "He likes-.. loves me?" He asks me confusingly. I nodded and looked over at Jean who was watching me explain his love for Marco for him. "Armin,tell him to meet me after school, to you know, talk about this."
I nodded and walked back to Jean as Marco quickly walked went the other way to his locker. I look back and forth and run over to Jean quickly but nonchalantly.

(Jean POV)

Armin walked back to me. I had chills running down my back. I really love Marco. Marco loving me back is all I could ever ask for. I already have a decent group of friends, but someone like Marco being my lover, is too amazing. "What did he say?" I ask anxiously. "To meet him after school to talk.." I worried a bit more now.Did he not like me?Maybe he wants to let me down easily.I expected as much. I sigh and look down. "I hope I didn't ruin this!" Armin says. "No,you didn't." I shake my head and then thanked Armin and walked to class quickly.

The last few hours of school went by quick.I wasn't exactly ready to face the fact that Marco probably or most likely doesn't like me as much as I like him, or like me at all in this case. The bell rang and I waiting for Marco to come out of his last class. "Hi Jean!" He said smiling as if nothing that Armin told him mattered.It...hurt.

Maybe I was being too emotional. Maybe I'm acting like a child or something? "Let's go talk now." I nodded as we walked to the tree where I would usually wait for Marco to get out class after school.
"Jean, I heard that you like me...and my answer to tha-"
"..You don't like me." I said finishing his sentence for him. "I-It's totally fine y'know. I mean, hell, you probably have a thing for some other guy or girl."
"No, I don't like you Jean.I love you!"
I wasn't sure how to make myself believe that what he had just said was real.My heart felt whole.I think I was crying when he said that he loved me. "M-Marco you little bastard..!" I hugged him tightly. "Y-You do?!" He nodded. I smiled and laughed as I hugged him. He was laughing as well and squirming from happiness as I was too, but then, he suddenly stopped and looked up at me.
"But..I have to tell you something." I listened closely to him. "My father, he doesn't like me being around you, and there is a huge chance that I'm moving sometime this year. Possibly soon.."
Right when I thought we could be together,we just had to be separated.
Why is? Why me?
