From chapter seven of my Jean Kirstein fic, epiphany
Set during the first Marley visit, right before they all get wasted lol
I’m late. We were supposed to meet at seven and I’m late. This maze of a fucking house is the cause of it. If there weren’t so many hallways I would’ve never gotten lost.
Eventually, we met up with Kiyomi Azumabito. We were currently at her residence, and we were having a meeting to discuss some sort of game plan. You know, to try and get Marleyans to hate us a little less. But unfortunately I had lost track of time, and only left my room the moment I was supposed to be with everyone else. Through my panic, I completely forgot about the whole tour Kiyomi gave us, so I made about four wrong turns.
After quite literally having to follow the sound of Sasha and Connie’s loud ass voices, I made it to where I was supposed to be. As I stumbled down the stairs, I noticed Eren sitting at the bottom.
“Shit, how mad is Levi?” I asked, knowing I would never hear the end of this.
“I don’t know. But Jean is keeping Kiyomi occupied, so you don’t have to worry about her.” Eren replied coolly. Once I reached him he stood up, and reached out to grab my hair. I had done it up in two low pigtail braids when we got here. I’m not really sure why, but something about being in a different country made me want to try something new. Holding onto my left braid, he chuckled, and twirled the stray pieces that weren’t included in the style in his fingers.
“What?” I asked, completely ignoring him playing with my hair. Which he stopped about as soon as he started. I was confused as to what topic of interest Jean Kirstein and Kiyomi Azumabito would have in common. “What are they talking about?”
“You.”
I laughed dryly, “Real funny, Eren. Now come on, let’s get this over with.”
I began to walk over to the door we needed to cross, but Eren didn’t follow. “What?” I repeated, my tone whiny as if I were a child.
He let a small smile come over his face, and he shook his head. “You’re so oblivious, Lina.” With that, he walked towards the door and held it open for me. Now that the group knew I finally made it, I couldn’t ask any more questions. I had to push down the interrogation bubbling up in my stomach, threatening to spill out at any second. I gave him a weird look, and stepped into the room.
follows season four of attack on titan, including some flashbacks to previous points within the story. friends to lovers! all canon events in the anime are also canon in my fic.
chapter count: it will most likely end up being 20-25 chapters
next chapter definitely won’t be until about mid/late may. i have two weeks left of college and i really need to crack down on my work (i’ve been putting so much off…) i’m sorry for the delay but once this semester is over i’ll be able to write more!!!
finally started chapter twelve of epiphany LOOOORDDDD. i didn't want to write an action scene yet so i procrastinated by writing a small flashback... oops!
