♣A fluff between Jean and reader enjoy, I've decided to make this a modern cafe AU♣

Although you wouldn't admit it to anyone, you thought that the small cafe you worked in was the best in the city. From coffee to tea to dainty cakes that looked so delectable. You arrived there at 7:00 am to get an early start.

Tying the apron behind you, you turned the knob on the oven to preheat it. While the oven was preheating you took out some flour, sugar, butter, some eggs, and placed them on the clean counter. You were thinking about what you were forgetting when you heard footsteps behind you. A slender arm reached beside your head and opened the cabinet pulling out a bag of cocoa powder. "Jean! You almost scared me!" You turned to see Jean with an adorable pink apron over his button-up shirt and jeans. "What? I was just getting the cocoa powder for you. And did you forget the most important ingredient in chocolate cookies?" You looked up at his hand which held the cocoa powder. "Ah... You're too short to see it, well you know what they say. 'Out of sight, Out of mind'."

You let out an exasperated sigh and flung an egg at him which he struggled to catch. "How about you make the cookies and I'll do the frosting for the key lime pie I made yesterday." Jean glanced at you then at the cookie ingredients. With a small grunt, he grabbed two bowls and put the flour, cocoa, and other dry ingredients. While in the other he put the butter and sugar. Whisking the sugar and butter together he spoke, "You know (Y/n), I didn't think I was gonna have this much fun making treats and confectionaries."

You had just finished putting the lime and lemon zest into the frosting. You wiped your forehead thoughtfully, "Really? How'd you think it was gonna be working in a coffee shop?" He brushed his hands on his apron and leaned on the pastel blue wall. He looked deep in thought for a second and then closed his eyes. "Well, I thought it was going to be boring and very embarrassing since I'm a guy working a shop with aprons." You raised an eyebrow. "Don't all employees in coffee shops have to wear an apron? Besides, this should be a paradise given all the cute girls you flirt with." Your hand covered your mouth while you giggled a little.

"It's not easy being this irresistible." A smirk placed itself upon his lips and he continued to make the dough. "Not according to Mikasa..." His shoulders drooped and he turned around to a shiny brown cookie, like the kind you would get from girl scouts. "Taste it." He reluctantly took the cookie out of your hand and examined it. "It's not poisoned, Jean."

"How am I supposed to know th-" You shoved it in his mouth to shut him up. Someone had to. After chewing and then swallowing, he gave a small approving nod and handed you a container of coffee beans. "So?" He deeply inhaled and grabbed your shoulders.

"That was the best damn cookie I've ever had. Holy shit. I want more." His eyes gave off a serious yet playful tone. "Nope. I have to save them for the customers. Sorry." Getting the coffee maker ready to do its job, you skipped across the kitchen and grabbed some sugar and cream along the way.

The day was fairly slow but they did get a lot of couples walking in and having their date. That's probably the most service your cafe ever gets. Always couples or young girls looking for a guy and flirting with your co-workers. Mostly Levi, as he did seem the hottest. Surprisingly most of the employees were males and it did allow the cafe to get good service. But, then you had Sasha who you always had to stop from eating the food, she still did anyway. And she would also buy a bunch of food when she wasn't working and probably laugh internally as she watched us try to prepare her food and the other customers.

"YO Horse-boy!" Eren showed up leaning on the counter with his elbow on it. Jean grumbled about not being a horse because he didn't want to lose his job for starting a fight. "What do you want, You dumb fuck?" You looked at Jean disapprovingly and shook your head. "Hey, your girlfriend doesn't like you calling me names."

You had just dropped the spoon you held and turned to Eren and Jean. Levi placed a hand on your shoulder and told you to fix up some more frosting. "Oi. Stop looking like you got some Titan dick shoved up your ass and go put on an apron and help. Stupid shitty brat." You snickered along with almost everyone else.

Eren looked horrified and Mikasa just stood there with an actual smile on her face. Armin handed Eren an apron and pushed his glasses back up on his nose. (Armin wears glasses here!! So flipping cute!! >~<) When Levi came back to the back of the kitchen, you gave him a fist bump and smirked.

"Damn that little shit! Leaving me to take his shift! Just what does he think he is?! Even after Levi threatened him!" You listened to Jean rant on and on about how Eren just left when it got closer to closing time. After you finished mopping the floor, he was still ranting. You took a bowl of the super fluffy (Favorite flavor) frosting, that was left out to finish one of the cakes for tomorrow, and walked to the fridge. But before you got there, Jean stepped in front of you on accident and both you, Jean, and the frosting(;-;) went down.

"Ah, dammit." Your head raised itself to look at Jean who was really close to you. Taking your thumb, you wiped some of the frosting off of his cheek and instinctively licked it off. Jean was gazing at you when he realized you were about to wipe the frosting off your face with your sleeve. He snatched your arm away and kissed your cheek, licking some of the frosting off. You were speechless and he did it again. This time on your forehead and then on your other cheek, then chin, nose, and the last place...on your lips.

It was a very sweet short kiss and you barely noticed he did it. His hand brushed any stray hair away from your face and cupped it gently. "Uh..Jean, that frosting was for the cake." His eyes dropped and you laughed quietly at how his expression changed so quickly. "Really? I'm trying to express my lo-" You cut him off with a peck on the lips. Your arms swung around his neck and you leaned in again. "...But.." Your finger swiped some frosting from his cheek and placed it on his lips. "..It tastes better on you."
