——————————

You had no clue what to do with yourself in this very moment. You wanted to run. You wanted to just leave. However, that would've made the situation far more awkward than it already was and you didn't wanna embarrass yourself even further.

Your gaze moved from Jean to Kendra who looked upset and scared. You could tell she knew who you were and you felt incredibly guilty, knowing you'd be upset if it were you in the situation.

Jean said your name in disbelief as he stared at you in awe. Kendra grew tense beside him, not liking how he was reacting right now. Why did he seem so intrigued by you? She grew nervous, insecurity settling in.

To her, you were so beautiful. She could see why Jean fell in love so easily. She had spent many nights searching your socials, looking at all the pictures you posted. She was well aware of your boyfriend yet she still envied you. After all, many say a man never forgets his first love. Although her and Jean had been together for a couple years, she feared you could take him away in seconds. The look he was giving you right now made that feeling worse.

Connie's hysterical laughing abruptly stopped as he quickly sat up, looking between you and Jean. "Shit." He swore, "my bad." Connie felt himself grow incredibly sober incredibly fast, realizing what he had just done. He grew guilty watching your displeased expression.

You glared at him, standing from the ground as you adjusted your clothes. "This could not have gone any worse." You mumbled.

"Why were you in the closet with Connie?" Eren asked, giving you a confused look as he pointed to the now open closet.

"I- look- this is my worst nightmare." You nervously laughed, your gaze moving back to Jean who still seemed rather in shock. There was the most awkward tension between the two of you and it was painful for everyone else in the room. Neither of you knew what to say to each other or how to react.

"What's going on?" Mikasa asked, looking around the room.

"Okay," Hitch let out a frustrated groan, pointing to Jean. "Ex." She stated before pointing to you. "Ex." She moved to Kendra. "Girlfriend." She pointed to the closet. "Closet." Then to Connie. "Idiot."

Eren and her both nodded, fully understanding what Hitch was saying in her incredibly summed up terms. "Why the fuck would you date Jean?" Eren snickered, looking over at you. Mikasa nudged his side, Jean's gaze moving to Eren. "Let's not." Jean's tone was stern as his hand tightened on his girlfriend's reassuring her.

"Look, I didn't come say hi with some grand introduction because I was not about to make her," you motioned to Kendra. "Uncomfortable and I didn't know that all of you knew each other which is fucking insane." You were growing flustered and at this point just talking without thinking. "Look, I'm so sorry. You are so beautiful." You complimented the girl, frantically grabbing your bags. "Jean, good seeing you." You quickly nodded. "Tell Levi I am going home because I'm on the verge of jumping off a bridge." You smiled to Sasha, awkwardly walking passed everyone.

"What about my tattoo?" Markus asked.

"I don't think this is the time to be worrying about that." Connie whispered to Markus who just side eyed him. "I think this is your fault" he whispered back.

You were already gone from the room and halfway to the parking garage. The room still filled with awkward tension. "I'm gonna go to her place." Markus sighed. "Jean, it was great seeing you man." Markus waved to Jean before he then left the room, following his sister.
