Reunion.

Cw: strong language, domestic violence, emotional abuse.

Hitch's POV 2 hours earlier:

We made it to this fort party thing and of course, Y/N and Sasha immediately start talking to each other. I don't wait long before I excuse myself to go find 'someone.' By someone, I of course mean Jean, but I don't say that.

I look around for the brunette but I see he's talking to Marco. Marco isn't exactly my number 1 fan, so I reroute and go over to Annie and Pieck. Pieck and I don't really know each other, but Annie is the only girl here who I would consider a friend.

"Hey Annie." I start.

Annie has her hair tied back in a ponytail, her bangs covering part of her left eye. She is giving her classic unimpressed look.

"Oh hey, Hitch. What's up?" Annie asks.

"Oh nothing, just avoiding the congregation over there." I tilt my head back to gesture behind me, where Sasha and Y/N are standing.

"Hm" Annie replies. Pieck looks over at them and gives a small smile. I look behind me and see that Connie and Eren have now joined them. Pieck seems to be smiling at Connie and Sasha...slapping each other? I roll my eyes and turn back around.

"So what's up with you guys then?" I ask Pieck.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"You and Connie. You guys a thing or something?"

"Yeah I guess so, we have been spending a lot of time together. He's a really great guy, underneath all...that." She smiles. "What about you and Jean? Are you guys still a thing?"

I stiffen at her question. Yes. No. Not yet. I don't know how to answer the question. "Who knows? I think he wants that but I just want to have fun." I try and play it cool.

I hear Annie scoff from beside me. I give her a questioning look.

"Doesn't seem to me like he wants it." She says.

"What?" I ask. Annie nods her head to gesture to the tables behind us.

I look behind me and I can already feel the heat building in my face. I'm watching Jean and Y/N talking, her hand is in his and they're clearly having some sort of deep conversation.

I'm filled with rage. Rage at myself for not putting an end to this sooner. I saw all the signs, the way they've been looking at each other lately, and how much closer they've gotten. I know he's always had a thing for her, but I never thought it would actually lead to anything. I look back at Annie, trying to hide the anger on my face.

"Yeah whatever, it won't last." I say.

"What makes you so sure? Armin was telling me he has this theory that he's liked her for a long time." Annie replies.

"What does Armin know? It's not like it matters anyways. He's just going to pump and dump her." I spit. My anger is getting the better of me.

"Like he did with you?" Annie retorts.

My calmness has completely dissipated at this point. Maybe I was wrong to think Annie was my friend. She has been hanging out with Armin a lot lately. Maybe she's all buddy-buddy with that fucking group now.

"Oh fuck you Annie, like you're one to talk."

Annie takes a step closer to me, she's angry but she doesn't show it.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She asks.

"Oh don't act all innocent. You've lead Bertholdt on for years, and then one day Armin shows you an ounce of attention and Bert's left in the dust. You're no better than Jean." I spit.
