Jean walked home to his apartment from a long and irritating day at school. Today Eren had, like always, decided to be annoying and some punkass freshmen had tried to pick a fight with him. Jean, being the oh so kind person he is, decided to only break a few bones and held back on kicking Eren's stupid face, mostly because Armin was there trying to keep everyone from getting expelled on the first day of school. But that's not even all! He had also gotten yelled at by a teacher for his piercings and she had practically ripped them out of his ears. The list of horrible things could go on but enough about his crappy day, Jean walked towards his apartment sticking his hand in his pocket trying to find the key only to be stopped by the landlord. An old woman who always wore sweatpants and sweatshirts from random sports teams.
"Jean, your old neighbor moved out today after complaining about your obnoxious attitude and you're getting a new one tomorrow, please don't scare him off!" She informed irritated.
"Fine, fine, I'll try my best!" Jean retorted back jokingly
She sighed and walked back to the front office as Jean continued his way up the stairs to his room and stuck the key in the lock, jiggling it open since the lock was old. When the door finally opened with a click he stepped inside and threw his bag on the floor going to the fridge to heat up some pizza. When he had finished his meal he passed out on the couch, when he woke up three hours had passed and he lied back down and attempted to go back to sleep. He didn't get to lie down for very long as he heard footsteps coming up the stairs to his area of rooms in the building. He got up and opened the door seeing a young man about his age moving boxes into the room next to his, there was only one more box from what he could see so he must have gotten here a while earlier. He turned to Jean and immediately broke into a smile and ran a hand through the his chestnut brown hair, he set down the box and introduced himself,
"Hello! I'm Marco!" He said holding out his hand, his smile growing wider.
Jean stares for a minute noticing how the boy was absolutely covered in freckles and how his smile seemed to radiate light, when he regained his senses he took Marco's hand and shook it hesitantly
"Um, I'm Jean.."replied Jean slowly still starring into his dark brown eyes noticing the flecks of green.
Marco let go of his hand and picked the box back up, still smiling brightly he said goodnight to Jean and took the box inside. Jean felt his face brake into a smile, he was going to like his new neighbor.
