    Summary

    “Okay, so let me get this straight,” Connie said. “You and Jean are friends.”

    “Yes,” you said.

    “Mikasa is your roommate, and Jean likes her,” he said.

    “Yes,” you said again.

    “Eren is Jean’s partner for that assignment, and you like him.”

    “Yes,” you said.

    “So you and Jean are going to be the other’s wingman and help set each other up.”

    “Wingperson,” you corrected. “He’s a guy, he’ll be my wingman. I’m a girl, I’ll be his wingwoman. We’re each other’s wingperson.”

    “Wingperson,” he repeated. “So you’re Jean’s wingperson, and he’s yours.”

    “That is correct,” you said.

    He turned towards Sasha. “Am I the only one who thinks this is not going to work out the way they think it will?”

    Sasha shrugged. “Eh. I think it’s sweet, in a this-is-definitely-going-to-end-badly kind of way.”

    Summary

    Jean’s eyes fall to the ground, as though unable to take you gawping at him. There’s a flush at the tips of his ears and when you continue to stare at him in silence, the heat spreads to his face.

    Your mouth parts for a response, though nothing comes out, floundering like a fish out of water. You are crossed between surprise, confusion, and…intrigue.

    You see him occasionally when you pick up your laundry, bump into him when you grab the mail, and offer a curt nod whenever passing in the hall.

    Overall, you are total strangers.

    To say you’re blind-sighted is an understatement. The last thing you expected in the evening was for Jean to wander in the laundry room, spot you, and ask you to be his pretend girlfriend.

    ...

    Jean tells a white lie and invites you for the ride.

    Summary

    Jean nods, handing over the cigarette. “You probably don’t need me to tell you this, but he really is great. None of it’s an act, or anything. So, like, if he tells you something, about how he feels, or whatever, he really means it.” He sighs, shoving his hands deep into his pockets. “He’s better than me, that way.”

    You've lived with Annie since freshman year, but it's not until your senior year that you meet her friends; or, more specifically, Marco and Jean. You connect with both boys, and with your encouragement, they fall back into their engagement with the universal language -- music.

    Told in the present tense, you reminisce on the last year of your undergraduate career with one of the tale's most prominent figures, while still tending to the aftermath of your failures. But, it's hard to measure what a "failure" is, when you're busy living in it. Does time give you perspective, or does it muddle the experiences that have shaped you to this point?

    Summary

    Hange only set one rule when you moved back to Saint Sina University for your senior year: you cannot date any of their friends—their roommate Levi included. Despite Hange's new rule, you and Levi find yourselves holding each other together in a mix of senior theses, graduate school applications, and the ongoing project that is decorating your new apartment. Just as friends though, right?
