7. My muse can’t reach the top of the tree and needs your muse’s help to decorate the tree.

"Risa," Armin whined, wiggling his fingers and standing on tiptoe in an attempt to get a bright red ornament as high as possible, yet to no avail. "Come help me, please?"

When he’d complained to Levi at the lack of festivity at the Survey Corps HQ, he’d been put to the task of remedying the situation. Alone.

Jean was beyond exhausted when he returned home. He had signed up for the past seven excursion missions for the additional pay. The horses had been stabled, as well as the injured ushered to the medics. His only injury was a broad shiny cut that crossed over his nose. The medic had cleaned it with a solution that made his eyes tear up. She laughed a bit and sent him off. 

He turned in his reports in the mission office and received his payment. The officer laughed a bit as Jean recounted the money in front of him. 

"You saving up for something big, Kirschstein?" He asked. "It's the only reason soldiers pick up extra missions." 

"Yeah something like that." Jean smirked. He swiped the coins back into the purse and dropped it into the front pocket of his jacket. Jean gave him a quick salute and decided to grab a bite to eat before he made the final payment. He stopped by the bakery and bought a small loaf of bread, as well as a small hunk of cheese. It had actually been a bit of a splurge, but he wanted to settle his stomach some before he visited her.

Jean rounded the corner and jogged up the steps to the small boutique. It seemed a little out of place, but since this was a military outpost - he guessed there was plenty of business from the government officials. He stamped his boots clean out of the door before he he made his way in. 

One of the pretty girls nodded at him and waved him over, "welcome home Jean - how was your mission?" Her eyes flitted over his form casually. 

"Tiresome." He sighed and removed the money pouch from his pocket. "I came to pick up the ring." 

"So when are you going to ask her?" She smiled as she stepped over to a small safe and removed a small velvet box from it. 

"Tonight. Hopefully. I was kind of hoping to come back unscathed." He laughed and gingerly touched his nose. 

"Well it makes you look distinguished." She laughed softly and placed the box on the counter. He picked it up and opened it carefully. He peaked at it only momentarily before he shut it tight. 

"Well, let's hope she stares more at the ring than at my face." He bowed slightly and thanked her for all her help. He placed the box in his pocket and headed back to his place. He wanted to at least get the grime and smell from the mission off. 

He took a quick shower, pulled on a clean pair of trousers and a nice green button up he had bought a few weeks back. It had been so long since he had been home, he had nearly forgotten about it. Jean removed the box from his work pants and slipped it into his trousers pocket. He definitely didn't want to forget that. With one more adjustment to his hair, he left his small apartment and walked toward hers. His heart was pounding in his chest and his only comfort came from running his thumb absentmindedly over the box.
