It had been five years since Y/n had last seen her friends from Paradise. The chances of them ever crossing paths again were slim. She had wondered on how they were all doing over the years. Sure, the newspapers gave her indication they were all alive, but it was never in tremendous detail.
Both sides remained quiet as they locked eyes with each other.
Y/n knew she had a lot of explaining to do so she waves for Sydney to come over to where she was standing. "Take their drinks and move them outside to the gazebo." Sydney nods her head. The young girl takes a step towards the table, but is stopped when Y/n places her hand on her shoulder, "And their meal is on the house today." She says lowly.
Y/n removes her hand and turns back to her friends. "If you follow me, we are going to take our conversation outside." She says courtly before walking away.
Everyone finds themselves now seated inside the gazebo outside at a round table. Sydney has brought their drinks outside and left as soon as she was done. Now it was just the six to them meet with silence once more. No one was sure where to begin, and Y/n sat awkwardly in her seat unable to form any words.
She took notice of her friends now grown-up features during this moment of silence. Armin no longer had bangs covering his forehead as it laid on either side of his face and slightly slicked back. It made his face look less baby and more manly.
The last Y/n had saw Mikasa her hair was a short bob, but now had grown passed her shoulders. She wore it up in a ponytail while her bangs covered her forehead. Y/n had to admit that it brought out Mikasa's beauty even more. What was more intriguing was Mikasa no longer had Eren's scarf around her neck that she always wore for as long as Y/n could remember.
The others pretty well looked the same since Y/n had last saw them. Annie was no longer wear her hair up, so it took a moment for Y/n to even recognize that it was in fact her.
Jean was fidgeting in his seat getting fed up with the silence and decides to finally break it. "You look well." He says to Y/n.
Y/n nods. "Ah yeah I've been great actually." She pauses then asking, "And how are you all doing?" She looks around to everyone.
"Were good, Y/n. Were all doing good." Jean replies warmly.
"How are the others?" Y/n asks deciding that it will take small talk to start for now.
"They're all doing good. Historia had her baby and married the farmer. Levi is running a tea shop. He's in a wheelchair now, so Gabi and Falco are there to help him run things. And Reiner has decided to dedicate his life to serving Paradise in order to redeem himself." Jean says.
"I see. That is all good to hear." Y/n smiles. She then looks over to Mikasa, Armin, Connie, and Annie. "How are all of you?"
Silence is met again as each member doesn't know where to start until Armin decides to chime in. "I'm doing great. Being the ambassador for an entire country is demanding, but its fulfilling." He pauses looking to Annie. "Annie and I got married just last year as well." He places his hand on top hers smiling to her, and Y/n takes notice of the rings on both their left hand. Annie blushes at the gesture and mumbles under her breath how embarrassed she felt.
"And Connie is getting married next year!" Armin adds looking to his friend.
"Oh, that's exciting to hear Connie! Congratulations. Who is the girl?" Y/n looks to Connie.
"Uh just a girl I met one day while helping with rebuilding the towns." Connie says awkwardly.
Y/n smiles at him. "I'm happy for you." The comment makes Connie return a smile back.
