"Mikasa you look good today!"
You watched as your best friend attempted to flirt. It was like that almost every day. He would sit with you and Marco at lunch talking about finally asking Mikasa out. He would then get up, get to her table, and freeze up while his cheeks turned bright pink. Then you would have to drag him back to your table before he practically fainted because he got nervous.
You continued to save him from embarrassment but deep down you hoped one day he would forget about her and realize you were there the whole time just waiting to be noticed. Marco knew what was going on of course and secretly planned to get you two together.
"Hey (y/n)!!! Why don't you come sit with us today?!" Eren yelled across the dining hall.
You looked up and saw Jean with an upset face. You were about to ask what was wrong before Marco stepped in telling you to go ahead and sit with Eren today.
You got up and sat next to Mikasa. You started talking to Armin until you heard someone clear their throat.
'oh, no.' you thought. Jean was about to try and talk to Mikasa again but you decided this time you wouldn't drag him away and just let him learn his lesson.
He began to stutter and eventually fell to the floor unconscious. You sighed and got up to leave. You figured he'd never learn.
That night Jean told Marco how upset he was that you sat with Eren at lunch. " I can't believe she would just leave us for that Titan freak! What was she thinking? And she didn't even help me when I fell down!"
"Jean first of all you fainted.... Second I'm sure (y/n) doesn't have feelings for Eren."
"She better not! I...I.... She's..... Wait, she doesn't have feelings for him?"
" Nope! Why do you think she always eats with us when she could talk to her long time friend Sasha?"
Jean sat on his bed speechless. Not sure what to do about the feelings rushing through him. He thought that (y/n) liked Eren and just wanted to be friends with him and Marco. 'maybe she has feelings for Marco.... I don't think I could be happy for them. I think I've fallen for her but if she wants Marco then I can't say anything.'
Marco began laughing at his friend who was deep in thought and knew exactly what he was thinking. Marco rolled over in his bed to face the wall.
" Jean I can tell you for a fact she doesn't have feelings for me."
The next day you decided to sit with Eren again. While talking with the others you heard someone clear their throat. Mikasa then stood up.
You saw the look on her face and could tell she was really annoyed. "Take it easy on him." You whispered to her.
" Jean I am trying to sit here and enjoy my time with Eren! Can you stop coming over to ask me out! "
You didn't hear anything from Jean and he didn't walk away. You looked up in fear thinking he completely died inside. But he seemed unfazed by Mikasa yelling at him and he was looking right at you.
He started to scratch the back of his neck nervously. "(Y/n) would you come have lunch with me? Like forever?"
You were shocked and just nodded. Jean carried your food to his table and you sat next to him and across from Marco, who was smiling big.
As you began talking with them like normal, Jean slipped his hand in yours under the table. You then smiled at each other.
"Took you guys long enough. Seems like my work here is done." Marco smiled to himself.
