It rains upon him

He averts his gaze, eyes finding the floor. He mumbles something incoherent, a lame explanation that he’s not proud of. Hand moving to rub at the back of his neck, he sighs. “...An’ it’s for Eren okay?” 

“I-I lost a bet, okay?” 

“An’ you think I did?” He’s hurt by his friends response, biting back a burning anger. He’d thought Armin of all people would understand what he was trying to say. They’d become so close lately...”Just forget it okay? Forget I ever said anythin’.” 

“I didn’t do anything to help stop it either.” He sighs, a glancing over his shoulder at the brunet. “I know what you’re tryin’ ta do here Sasha, so just...just don’t.”

“If we stop now, they’ll catch us, you know that right?” Chest heaving, he slows his run to a jog, and then a walk. For Mikasa to want to stop, or go back, she’d better have a pretty good reason, because Jean wanted to get as far away as possible in the shortest time he could manage. “If anyone else got out, they’ll be running too. Don’t be stupid, Mikasa.” 

“I dunno,” Jean sighs, anger giving way to defeat.She’d worn him down, that was for sure, but he wasn’t through being, well, himself. “Your hair?” 

20: "I have to go... and I'm probably not coming back."

“Nothing, Marco. Absolutely nothin’.” Jean sighs,head falling into his hands. “Ya ain’t got an ounce o’ shame on ya, huh?” 

“You got some kinda psychic powers ya ain’t told me about, Bodt? ‘Cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna know zero people there an’ that sounds like a shitty time ta me.” 

“Can you not.” 

“The fuck are you doin’, Bodt?” 

Jeans upper lip curls back in semi-disgust.”I’m sure that's real comfy.”

“’Cause it ain’t gonna be any fun an’ you know it.” 

Like an animal caged against it’s will, he’d lashed out at someone close to him. They hadn’t been toegther long, but Armin had become so much more then just an aquaintence. They were survivors, and they had survived together. That had to mean something. Jean certianly felt it did. “I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean ta snap at ya like that. I just...I don’t know what to do. I’m all outta ideas, man.”
