You were supposed to leave him behind. The boy who challenged you, competed with you, annoyed you to your very core, until he didn't. Jean Kirstein, your academic rival, your almost-friend, your first love... and the person you left without saying goodbye. You thought distance would make it easier. That burying yourself in ambition, in grief, in survival, would make you forget. But nothing could quite erase the burn he left on your skin, or the look he gave you the night everything fell apart. Now you're back in Paradis. Just for a few months, just long enough to fulfill a promise, to see your friends again, to pretend that the past doesn't hurt anymore. But fate has other plans. Because the first time you see him again... he's not standing. He's broken, quiet, older...and yet everything you once loved still lingers in his eyes. From academic enemies to something impossibly tender and undone, this is a slow-burn story about growing up, losing everything, and finding your way back to the person who always felt like home. "Do you think I have forgotten about you?"

"It started with comfort. It ended with him being the only thing that could break me." When Jean Kirstein and Eren Yeager move back to Shingashina from their studies in Amsterdam, you're a wreck. Freshly heartbroken, barely functioning, and definitely not ready to see the two men who've shaped your life: Eren, your brother, and Jean, his best friend, practically family. Jean's cocky, tattooed, too good with his hands, and the kind of person your brother always warned you about. And yet, when he's the only one who can help you navigate this mess, you can't ignore the way his presence unsettles you. Protective, attentive, and impossibly close, he reaches for you when you fall apart, and suddenly the line between care and something more blurs. He promised no feelings and he lied. {˙⋆✮rankings} 1 in #yearner 10/11/25 1 in #kirstein 10/11/25 12 in #shingekinokiojin 26/11/25 7 in #jeankirstein 5/12/25 1 in #jeankirschtein 10/12/25 17 in #attackontitan 4/03/26 (slight substacne abuse, smut, violence)
