He was always so loud, boisterous even. Always picking fights with Eren, while you had to sit back and pray he wouldn't do something stupid. Sometimes you'd tell him he went too far, and his hot-headed ass would tell you to shut up. So why was he so quiet and gentle right now?
Now they could go outside the walls, and while scouting-- they found a beautiful flower meadow untouched by the horrors of the world, of titans. Everyone was astonished, it was like.. an ocean of colorful flowers. Connie somehow found himself with a flower crown, and Sasha was attempting to make one for herself. Eren, Mikasa and Armin were piling up the flowers in their hands, with Captain Levi and Commander Hange watching on with soft expressions on their faces.
You and Jean were just laying among the flowers, you were best friends, so.. it wasn't out of the ordinary, right? Some petals flying in the wind and getting caught up in your hair as his eyes shift from the flowers in between your bodies, to your eyes. Your noses were practically touching, and you could tell his cheeks were getting just as pink as the flowers. "Hey, there are.. there are some petals in your hair." Jean murmured, his fingers combing through your hair to brush the flowers off. He couldn't stop looking into your eyes, and it was almost as if it was just you two amongst the flowers. "Oy." You feel Jean's finger tap your cheek gently, and he looks back at you with a somewhat sarcastic expression. "You there? You zoned out."
