Summary
Years had passed since the rumbling. Life had simply...moved on.
As the evening wound down, the group splintered off. Jean naturally fell into step beside Mikasa as they turned down the sidewalk toward her home. The silence between them was comfortable, forged in the fires of a dozen battles and refined by years of peace. Jean walked with his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his coat, his eyes focused on the cobblestones ahead. He had filled out since the war. His shoulders broader, the lines of his face more defined. He carried a rugged sort of grace he’d never quite had as a boy.
“The city’s getting bigger.” Jean remarked, breaking the silence. “I heard they’re planning to build a library near the harbor. Armin’s practically vibrating with excitement.”
Mikasa offered a small, rare smile. “He’s been talking about it for weeks.”
The walked a bit further, the streetlamps casting long, flickering shadows. Jean slowed his pace before he cleared his throat, a sound that was uncharacteristically nervous.
"Hey, Mikasa?"
"Yes?"
He didn’t look at her. He just kept his gaze fixed on a distant point. “Do you...do you want to get dinner with me tomorrow? Just the two of us?”
