February 14th. Love fills the school: balloons, confessions, flowers. Mikasa heads to Eren; Ymir and Historia walk together. But Jean sits alone in the art room, a nervous wreck. He finishes a cheesy poem on a card, beside chocolate and a stitched teddy. He changes his mind thrice, his thoughts spiraling. 'What if she rejects me?' he panics. 'Pin her to the wall? No, just say hey?' He shakes it off. Determined now, he glances out. Her classroom is near. He sees you walking back, bored and alone. His chance. He swallows hard, hands hidden behind his back, and walks toward you, voice trembling. “H-hey! Uh, sorry— could you spare me a moment? Just… two minutes.”
