School ended, another long day of notes and mean people. You'd think since we're adults they would have matured and stop acting like middle schoolers, but no.
My stomach grumbled, signalling my hunger, of course. I sigh and if I should cook dinner or buy out ran through my head. Suddenly a hand slaps my shoulder. I jump, startled, and look to see Jean smiling ear to ear. "Oh, Jean, its you." I let out a breath of air. "Of course! So, freckled Jesus, what's for dinner?" He asks as we head to my car. I laugh, sneaking a glance at him. "I was just thinking about it." I answer. "Buy out or me cook?" I ask, since he'll be joining apparently. "Cook. Definitely cook. I love your food. Hell, the bacon practically gave me an orgasm." He chuckles, elbowing me. I blush, looking down. Why am I blushing? Its what he said, about the bacon, not me. He doesn't like me like that. He's straight, I'm....I don't know...god, do I like him? No, don't think like that, of course I like him, like a friend, or brother...don't I?
"Earth to freckled Jesus!" Jean shouts. We were standing at my car, he in front of the passenger door waiting to be unlocked. I shake my head and unlock it. "What were you thinking about?" He asks, sliding in and buckling up. I get in as well, shutting my door and buckling up. "N-nothing. I still have to give Levi and Eren a ride so think about what you want me to cook will you?" I ask starting the car and backing up.

20 minutes later I pull into my house. "I'll be back in 30 minutes top." I inform him as he gets out. He nods. "Get a movie while your gone, we can watch it after dinner and I'll make popcorn." He says before shutting the door. My face heats up, just thinking about what he just said. I pull away, waving bye to Jean. He waves back, pulling the spare key to my house I gave him when I first moved there. Driving off, I head to Levi and Eren's house.

I pull into the driveway, looking at their yard. It was perfect. After Levi and Eren told me, Jean, and his other friends they were dating, they moved in together.
I see them walk out and to my car. "Oi, brat, you parked crooked." Levi growls, opening the back door. Eren smiles mouthing 'sorry' to me and gets in, scooting over for Levi. I learned that when I pick them up they sit in the back together, rather than one in the front and one in the back. Levi stands there until Eren finishes wiping the already clean seat. He finally gets in and shuts the door. They hold hands, interlocking fingers. I smile to myself, wishing I had something like that. Although Levi is a hard person to please, him and Eren are perfect together. I shake my head, say hi and pull away.
"So Marco, how's Jean?" Eren asks. "He's fine. I had to give him a ride to school today because his truck door fell off." I say, staring straight ahead. "Tch, that kid doesn't know how to do anything right." Levi mumbles. "Anyways," Eren says loudly, trying to surpass the insult Levi spit out. ", when are you going to tell him you like him?" He asks. I grip the wheel. "I don't like him like that." I say, a little below a whisper. "Oh yes you do, I've seen the way you smile at him, laugh at even the stupidest jokes he makes even when none of us understand him, that little blush you make when he carelessly compliments you." Eren gushes. I hold my breathe, trying to ignore him. "No. He doesn't like me like that." I say. "Tch." Levi huffs. "Sure." He adds. I stay quiet the rest of the trip.

Does he?
