[Jean bulldozering around, weird? No. Mistletoe hanging in the doorway, odd? Yes. Armin standing under it with an open book in his hand about Christmas traditions, strange? Not in the slightest.

He kind of fumbles with the book though, as Jean comes to pass him by. Looking a little flustered by the situation.]

Move?.. Hot Chocolate?...

[Someone is slightly distracted, forgive him.]

-Oh! Um, well sure I guess, it's just...

[honestguy]

Yeah, outta the way, y'know?

[ Jean still hasn't noticed, he's much too intent on hot cocoa it is a gift from the gods. ]

You never had hot chocolate before or something?

[an_arlert_mind]

[There's no point in stepping aside, seeing as they were under the mistletoe and all, but Armin shifted a little anyway.]

No.. I've never had it before. Why are you offering me some?

[He looked puzzled for a moment, then spoke again.]

I don't think you can replace a kiss with something else, Jean, but if that's what you want to try I guess...

[honestguy]

Ah, what?

[ Finally, he looks up and notices-- ]

Shit, these things again? Nah, I know we gotta kiss or something... WHo came up with this stupid tradition anyway?

[an_arlert_mind]

[Armin laughed a little at Jean's reaction. At least he seemed relaxed about it, made Armin feel less awkward.]

I believe you can blame the Norse Goddess Frigg for that. Though, I think I read it was also the Greeks? I'm not sure it's exact origin, but... You're not actually interested in a history lesson are you?

[honestguy]

[ Being engaged means Jean is 100% sure of his devotion after all, no matter who he kisses he's wearing Marco's ring, right? That's totally how it works, right? ]

Not really.

[ Of course, Jean looks unimpressed. He sighs, bending down... quite a ways. You're kinda short, Armin. ]

Guess we should get it over with, huh?

[ Don't let his cool demeanor fool you, he's still blushing quite a bit. ]

[an_arlert_mind]

[That's all good and well, but Armin is suddenly feeling nervous about the whole thing. He likes Marco, respects him and same goes for Jean! He's become a lot closer friend with you Jean! So this is making him feel ... Odd.

Still! It's not like Armin is trying to break up the happy couple, so long as Marco understands... Everything is cool... Everything is peachy!... ]

N-no! Not when you say it like that, Jean! It's suppose to be a special thing... I know you're in a rush to get to your hot chocolate but still... Here...

[Fine if it helps, Armin goes up on his toes. Better? You're not the only one blushing at this, Jean.]

[honestguy]

[ They never fight, they never break up, don't worry Armin, Jean could kiss Levi and still Marco would probably just wonder how he survived such a thing. ]

Kissing's... not that big of a deal. [ He says, having only really kissed Marco and Eren. But he was drunk. IT DOESN'T COUNT! This is different. He's not in cheesy love with Armin. It's just... awkward... And before Jean finishes properly leaning in, he asks: ]

What, is this your first kiss or something?

[an_arlert_mind]

[Knowing that would make him feel a whole lot better actually. You know Armin, he's more about solving problems than creating them.]

...

[Thanks Jean, you just made Armin more embarrassed than he'd ever been in all his days. Freezing, looking up at Jean where he stopped in his leaning. Asking that, and so casually too.]

W-well actually... Yes it is...

[honestguy]

Oh! Shit, sorry... Uh.

[ Now Jean feels awkward... He didn't mean to take your first kiss, Armin. ]

Hey, it's cool. You weren't bad. You wanna have a do-over? Marco's not gonna care.
