( ............... Now Annie, being some percent self aware, knows that the 'I love you' thing can be really damn hard. That's admitting to a whole level of losing someone, a kind of vulnerability they all had, and a reality every person from their world knew in their own ways: you love people, and you will lose them. Eventually.

Could she tell anyone she loved them easily? Even if she did? Her father, yes, she thinks she can. At some point. Hell, even that's untested. Anyone else?

Neatly sidestepping that mental tangle, she focuses on a year and a half of shared rings and no engagement. No, that's just stupid. )

What is he waiting on? Eren to catch a clue? That's never happening. He's never been like that.

[Saying 'I love you' can be hard. Jean does remember when Mikasa and Jean said those the first time. Sometime after being together, before getting enganged or exhanging any kinds of rings.]

Right? He's definitely not going to figure this out unless Reiner spells it for him. Even then he might take a while.

( She has, over the course of this grousing, naturally moved closer again. Not within what is more like normal talking distance, but that's because Jean's on his stoop, and she doesn't want it to seem like she's asking to come in.

There's just... levels to what she's comfortable doing in a place that's so clearly actually a home. )

Not to mention being afraid Eren wouldn't agree. When has he ever stuck around somewhere he hated being? Or stayed around people he doesn't want to be around?

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah, exactly.

[Jean shakes his head.]

If Eren's displeased about something he most definitely will show it and leave.

[lyingheart]

That's putting it mildly.

( She says, so perfectly, utterly neutral. )

Are there any of those things to explore that makes people confront their own desires? Maybe that'd work on them.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if there are. I know there's something called the "Candle of True Feelings" at the rewards shop, so that could be a start.
