- seeking permission to continue his rambling. )

( Nodding slowly as Armin speaks. Each word is considered with deep thought. )

I guess that makes sense. I mean, I’ve always known that I liked women. I’m sure you know that.

( Suddenly cringing at his childhood crush on Armin’s best friend….. )

But.. for guys? I never

( He still grabs a small water inside a canteen. Placing it down just in case. )

Oh please. Never apologize Jean. We’ve been friends for…a very long time.

( a soft smile before sitting and oh. He blushes a bit embarrassed. picking at a sleeve cuff. )

really considered it an option until I got older. I would stare, but always chalked it up to envy. Marco and Reiner being more muscular than me, able to grow facial hair.

You and Eren I envied for being so close.

I. Wanted something like that.

( He looks at Armin as if

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

relax. Like any moment an airship will fly overhead, or a boat will dock. Now that I’ve had time to myself, I’m only realizing what a Coward I am.

How the fuck does someone move on from that?

( Arms wrap around her torso. )

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

( The hug is warm and he allows his head to fall onto Sasha’s shoulder. Just as soon as they started, the tears stopped with a sniffle. Now he feels ridiculous for crying at something so… )

I know. I’m grateful I have all of you, that we all survived. But I feel like I can’t

[⁀➴ 𝓢𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖. @forestsdaughter]

( she listens intently, wanting to provide any comfort to her best friend that she can. as soon as his tears start, her arms wrap around him, enclosing him in a warm hug. )

oh, jean …

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

( He fails to meet their gaze, staring off to the side instead. )

I don’t know.
I talked to Sasha about it a little. It’s.. hard. I’ve always known, but saying it aloud is so much more to handle.

( Jean laughs dryly. )

Pathetic, isn’t it?

... i see. [ staring at him with almost... understanding. or something akin to it. reach out, hand on shoulder. ] why?

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

I missed out on so fucking much Sasha. We all did. We all—..

( A tear rolls down his chin and onto his knee. Once it starts, he can’t stop it. )

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

I know I have time, but . .
I’m afraid that it’ll be stripped away at any moment. We were kids forced to be men— and I hadn’t had the chance to. Realize that.. until now.

( His gaze falls to the dirt beneath their boots. Jean chews on his bottom lip. )

[⁀➴ 𝓢𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙖. @forestsdaughter]

it is … hard. i mean, i always had dreams and ideas about what we’d do once we reclaimed the land the titans took from us and then our world became so much bigger all of a sudden.

it makes sense you’re feeling a lot, jean, and there’s no rush to figure any of it out, okay?

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

( Jean sits and waits for Armin to join him before continuing. )

You don’t need to apologize for anything. I’m* sorry for making this a big deal. You don’t need to get me anything.

.. So, how did you,,, y’know. Figure it out?

[𝑪𝐎𝐌𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝑨𝐑𝐋𝐄𝐑𝐓 @tapferstergeist]

I mean. It doesn’t have to be labeled-
Sorry i feel like i have to compile things 💧

( Though he gently gestures. )

Of course. I can get water too.

( to be fair Armin hadn’t though about it since his cadet core days. They’ve been through too much 💧)

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

Bad. I feel bad.

( After being asked so many times previous, his mask begins to falter. )

[: ̗̀➛ ✧ . * 𝗁𝖾𝚊𝚍 𝖾𝚗𝚐𝗂𝚗𝖾𝖾𝚛 ‧₊˚ @thxnderspexrs]

how do you feel?

[‎‍‍‍ ‍‍‍ ‎◜ 𝓙̳𝖤𝖠𝖭‎ ‎‎ ‎. @pitiedSoul]

( He’s running a shaky hand through his hair, chest tight as he breathes out a swear. )
