Waking Up in the Real World

Chapter 15 (version Jean)

I got home and explained the situation to the others. I cleaned out a few of my old binders and packed a pencil case for each of them.

Then I pre-packed a lunch for all of them.

Man, I feel like their mom.

I got Hanji to help me with my biology homework so she could learn along with me. Tomorrow we should be using microscopes, so that should be fun.

My mom doesn't get home until after dinner, so I'm usually in charge of finding something for myself to eat. Now I had eight extra mouths to feed. Scrambled eggs for everyone!

I've been teaching Jean how to cook. He seems to really enjoy it. Especially when I make him wear my apron covered in cupcakes that says "I've got a sweet ass."

I watched as he cooked the eggs. He looked so concentrated and focused on making the eggs perfect. He didn't even realize that I was leaning my head in towards his.

I smacked his butt.

He froze.

Before he could say anything, Eren entered the room yawning. "So, what's for dinner?"

I smirked at Jean as he smirked back, light pink dusting his cheeks.

"Eggs," I giggled.

"Um, okay then..."

"Wait. Jean. Are you BLUSHING?" Eren exclaimed, clearly surprised.

"Maybe, Jaeger. I bet you're jealous that [F/n] chose me and not you."

"Yessss! You made a move on him, didn't you [F/n]! I told you he would like you back."

Jean continued to smirk at me. Well, crap.

"Who's ready for dinner?"

I shoved Jean out of my way as I took the frying pan and distributed nine portions of food.

He was still looking at me snuggly.

We all ate and laid down after dinner in the living room. The deal was that Annie, the other two, Hanji, and Moblit shared my bedroom while I slept in the living room with Levi, Eren, and Jean.

As Eren and Levi fought whether they should sleep on the same couch or not, I settled on the floor and cuddled up in my blanket. Unfortunately, I gave all the other blankets to the ones sleeping in my room. Eren and Levi got one each. That left...

Great.

I looked up to find Jean standing over me. Without a word, he laid down on the blow up mattress next to me.

"Aren't you cold?" I asked.

"I am freezing. And I know you would love to share that blanket with me."

I smiled into the darkness and silently draped half of the blanket over the man.

He didn't say anything, he just rolled over to face me, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

I couldn't rest after everything that had happened. Seconds later I found that I was being pulled into the arms of a sleeping horse.

Cuddled into his chest, I finally fell asleep.
