You applied the final stroke of lipstick before rubbing your lips together to ensure it was perfect. You stared in the mirror for a minute admiring the fruits of your labour; with light makeup, neatly styled h/c hair and a flattering f/c dress, to say you looked gorgeous would be an understatement. With a confident smile and small dusting of your favourite perfume, you sauntered out of the bathroom before crossing paths with your sibling.

It was evident Jean too had been perfecting his appearance for the occasion, despite many times insisting he didn't want to attend a social function run by his 'arch nemesis'.There was a reason his two toned hair had been forced into a neat submission and his best button up had been dusted free of cobwebs; that reason was a 5'7, dark haired beauty by the name Mikasa. Many a times had you ridiculed him about his little crush, though you only wished he'd grow the balls to talk to her. You were close with Eren, the very host of tonights party. In an act of a good deed you intended to further that bond in the hopes that his sister may become intrigued by the mention of your goofy brother's name. Yes, contrary to popular belief, younger siblings weren't all pitchforks and elongated tails.

"About time jesus christ what takes you so long?" He grunted with arms crossed as he leaned against the wall. Before you had a chance to concoct a snarky answer the sound of a car pulling up in your driveway attained your focus.

"Let's go, Marco's here." Your need to retort was subdued and replaced with a leaping feeling in your chest at the mention of the freckled male's name. Yes, you had the slightest attraction to your sibling's best friend. You followed Jean downstairs as fast as your heels would allow before calling put a goodbye to your mum in the kitchen. One echoed back before the door was shut behind you with a click. The glistening of a black car under moonlight rested across your lawn. A tall dark figure advanced towards your porch before the lights from within the house at last made his face visible.

"Hey Jean, Y/n," he smiled, his eyes subtly widening at the sight of you in full glamour.

"Hey Marco," you mirrored the grin before following them both out to your mode of transportation to the party.

All that could be heard was the sound of a barking dog a few doors down and a sprinkler working to keep the unkempt garden of the lady across the road green. The trio advanced down the path before stopping at the front door of Jaeger's residence. Various voices within combined along with music to form the usual party ambience. You tapped your foot to the beat as you awaited the approach of a silhouette recognisable as Eren himself. It was then that a blood curdling scream from Marco caused you to step back in shock. You struggled to maintain balance and clawed at the unoccupied air in front of you before inevitably sitting amongst a few small plants in the mud. Your face was red with chagrin as the door to opened to reveal Eren wide eyed at your state. A laugh recognisable as the trademark of the infamous pranking duo sounded as they ran away to return to the backyard. Marco's scolding soon followed.

"Goddamit Sasha, Connie! You scared me half to death!" He called before turning to focus on you. Your eyes darted away from his in shame before finding peace in those of your brunet haired friend's. You smiled lurching towards Eren's palm before Jean intercepted- a particular glare darkening his amber pools.

"You ok?" He questioned, you nodded in response before commenting on a particular mud stain at the bottom of your dress.

"My dress sure isn't though..." You trailed off in annoyance. The green eyed boy ignored any threatening glances from Y/n's sibling before offering a wet cloth inside to fix it.
