IMPORTANT SPOILERS FROM S1 DON’T READ UNTIL YOU’VE WATCHED THESE SEASONS TO AVOID SPOILERS
warning: language and mention of death
you guys were both in the 104th cadet corps, but he only started talking/interacting with you after marco died.
he wouldn’t show his emotions about marco’s death around the others, but you just found him breaking down in his room, away from the others while going back for something you forgot.
you recognize him as the guy that fought eren every night someone from the 104 cadets, crouch down, and ask him if he’s okay.
he wouldn’t say anything, but he just keeps letting the tears fall while you’re comforting him by rubbing his back and doing the arm around shoulder hug.
he’d look up at you after he’s calmed down and be like
who is this person comforting me rn
he wouldn’t open up right away bc you guys literally interacted for the first time and he doesn’t wanna share personal shit so soon
he’d clear his throat, thank you with a light blush, and offer you help off the ground.
afterwards, you’d follow him and eat dinner together. he’s lowk confused but he doesn’t shove you away.
you make light conversation with him to try and cheer him up even if he responds in short sentences or not at all bc he’s still upset.
before he goes to his room, you tell him you’ll be there if he ever needs someone and if he wants a friend.
ever since that day, you guys have been hanging out and becoming friends. he really appreciated what you did for him despite lowk being known as an ass and barely knowing him.
he’d tell you about why he was crying about 5-7 months into your friendship, but you didn’t mind how long it’d take or if he mentioned it at all. it was personal and you didn’t want him to feel forced to tell you.
he’d train with you, beat his ass sometimes, and he’d say you cheated.
“OY Y/N YOU WON LAST TIME YOU’RE CHEATING”
“HOW AM I CHEATING YOU’RE JUST MAD HOES MAD”
playful banter and teasing between you two is a regular thing.
you’d be his closest friend after marco and basically spend every day together.
you’d always be the one pulling him away to stop picking fights with eren. even hitting him sometimes so he wouldn’t fight him further.
telling each other everything and anything about your days or whats pissing you off. kind of like your shit talking buddy but not towards people. only eren for him.
him telling you jokes he thinks are funny when he comes up/hears a new one even tho they’re so corny.
he’d have competitions with you when you have cleaning duties on who can clean better.
he never wins and levi just looks at him like “you really don’t know atp?” so you help jean clean his part.
waking each other up bc you both tend to sleep in sometimes.
when he beats you at something he defs brags to you how awesome he is and better he is at said topic the rest of the day.
if you’re both really busy on some days, he’d always look forward to seeing you during your everyday dinners.
and then one night
you were eating dinner together like you always did chatting about the same old things like how your days went, how much a certain training exercise is a pain in the ass, ya ya ya.
when jean rants about eren and how much he gets on his nerves, he makes expressive faces, and excessive hand gestures that make you laugh so hard.
and then he realized
how much he loved your laughter
how you always made sure to intently listen to what he wanted to talk about
how bright your smile was compared to the dimly lit room.
how god damn attractive you were with the ceiling lights beaming your face.
and most importantly, how he’s slowly falling for you.
HIIII HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT SORRY IT WAS KINDA VAGUE IM SO TIRED TODAY LOL.
i’ll make a pt. 2 with general crushing hcs so look out for that!

gn! reader. enjoy :)
CW: A HINT AT S1 SPOILER (the same one in pt1), mention of injuries, mention of fights.
look at my baby awww
ahem soooo i have a feel he’s a hopeless romantic.
he doesn’t do anything too noticeably different, but he’s way more attentive towards you.
like if you just had a really tough spar, or been going at it with practicing on the ODM gear, he’ll give you water or tell you to take a break, good job, and eat with him
(definitely would give you his water if yours is empty)
you guys are obviously really close with sasha and connie.
this means TEASSSINGGGGG they’d both tease you guys in front of each other like dude they have no chill.
he’d rant about you to both of them, but mainly connie.
you’d rant mainly to sasha and she’d just gush on how cute your crush on him is.
if you’re not together he does that thing where he rests his chin on his palm and looks at you from a distance omgggg
he tries to impress you ALL THE TIME and fails sometimes
“hey y/n! look what i can do *zips away*”
*crashes into wall*
then you have to fix his injuries.
his heart beats 500 miles an hour bc of how close you guys are and the contact.
gets increasingly protective over you. like he knows you can fight for yourself, but he doesn’t want another marco situation so he’s at your side a lot.
he’s generally a flirty guy so he tells you so many corny pick up lines throughout the day.
every time he’s around you/talking to you, he’s lightly blushing.
IF YOU UNINTENTIONALLY FLUSTER HIM HE BECOMES THE GIF ABOVE
active “rubbing back of his neck when he’s nervous around you” person.
he’d def be jealous if you’re around eren.
HE MAKES IT SO OBVIOUS HE LIKES YOU EVERYONE PROBABLY KNOWS ALREADY (except you </3)
hands you his jacket/cape if he notices your cold during evening trainings.
teasing also increases ☝🏼
“you didn’t see that jean”
“BAHHAH PSH HOW’D YOU TRIP OVER NOTHING”
“shut up”
“don’t go falling for me now y/n *winks*”
MAKES YOU BLUSH MAD AS HELL
he’s honestly so smooth when he unintentionally flirts but when he actually tries he stumbles over his words and gets super red.
connie face palms and when you aren’t around both him and sasha burst out laughing.
they are most definitely your wingman and wingwoman on both ends though.
they have gotten frustrated so many times bc of how oblivious you guys can be.
always walks you to your room when it’s time for curfew even if levi threatens him to give him extra cleaning duties.
likes to carry you on his back if you’re exhausted from training.
“look how strong i am *throws you over his shoulder*”
“JEAN LET ME GO *laughing*”
god he’d do anything to hear you laugh.
except embarrass himself. he still has a reputation 🤚🏼
every time he fights with eren and eren brings up how he likes you, he’d blush sm but be so quick to deny it even if he knows everyone else knows.
the thing is, you still think he likes mikasa EVEN IF SASHA IS LIKE “just confess already he probably likes you back”
OH MY GOD HE HAS WRITTEN TO HIS MOM ABOUT YOU
“oh yeah, ma, remember y/n? the person i told you about from cadet corps? i think i’ve fallen in love with them.”
from his letters, his mom loves you already and she can’t wait to meet you.
aot masterlist
artist/painter!jean kirstein boyfriend headcanons
☞ i’ve been having sm jean brainrot recently and this just popped into my head
☞ idrk where the idea of artist jean came from but i’m living off of it.
☞ this’ll be gender neutral, and modern au and with a headcanon in canonverse. also!! in these headcanons, jean is a college student/adult enjoy :)
you’re literally his muse. i wish i was joking.
he is so in love with you and you fill up his mind like 24/7 so, a lot of his work would be inspired by you :)
if you guys eat at a restaurant he’ll doodle on a napkin
or just in general. like mail envelopes, school papers, your homework, he doodles on it.
his hands have paint on them 85% of the time
if you aren’t busy he’ll ask you to be his irl reference for like a pose or position of an arm or hand.
when you catch him working you’ll tie his hair back for him 😫😫
in canonverse, i can imagine on off days you guys sitting in a field or a hill and he’ll be painting the landscape while you watch or chat.
if you like traditional art, you guys will have art sessions together just for fun or for dates
in modern au, if you like digital art, you guys would swap art preferences and he’d get so confused on how to draw on a tablet 💀
AGAIN doodles 24/7 and a lot of them are of you which gets you really flustered
“jean you sketch me a lot don’t you get tired of drawing the same old thing over and over again?”
“why would i when you’re so beautiful/handsome/attractive? *smirks*”
0//////0
for your first anniversary, he painted you something really nice and blushes when you compliment his work.
HE TRIES TO ACT ALL SMUG AND CHILL BUT THE APPRECIATION WARMS HIM SM
if you also like art, you and him would do outings where you go to different creative studios to try new types of creative work.
ex. pottery, gouache painting, sculpting, etc.
if you sit next to him while he paints, he’ll smear paint on your face or your arm
you helping him through an art block AND THEN HE’LL GET SO FRUSTRATED WHEN HE HAS NO IDEAS ON WHAT TO PAINT BUT A LOT OF MOTIVATION
if you get him an art supply you saw him scroll by on social media/a shopping site the other week, he’ll treasure it sm and repay you with sm kisses and dinner 😩😩
sometimes he gets so sucked inside his own head, you need to drag him away to take a break
you make him snacks whenever he’s painting/making something for a deadline
reassuring him his art is amazing even if he nitpicks every “flaw” in it like all artists do
hearing him rant about how his sketch during a boring lecture on paper looks better than what he sketched on the canvas 💀💀
“NO BABE LOOK AT THIS *gives you paper sketch* NOW LOOK AT THIS *presents canvas* WHY CANT IT JUST GHHHHH”
connie and sasha also hype him up a lot.
once he gave sasha a painting of a post from her instagram feed and she cried happiness at how beautiful and special it was
connie on his insta story showing a work of jean’s: “my best friend = the best painter. beat that leonardo dicaprio”
HE’LL GET ATTACKED BY EVERYONE SAYING ITS DA VINCI AND HE’LL POST ANOTHER STORY LIKE “GUYS I JUST DID IT FOR THE LAUGHS I KNOW ITS DA VINCI 😭”
HIM AND MARCO DO ART TOGETHERRRR
marco to me seems like he prefers the colored pencil medium and THEY’D HAVE SM FUN
jean would send you marco’s art and be like “TELL MARCO THIS IS AMAZING HE WON’T BELIEVE ME”
oh my gulay. his art exhibits.
HE GETS REALLY NERVOUS BUT TRIES TO PLAY IT OFF BC HE JUST WANTS IT TO GO REALLY WELL
“honey listen to me. it’ll turn out amazing! your art is beautiful and many people will admire and appreciate it at the event :D! so i know it’s hard but try not to worry so much okay?”
“PSHHH WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT LOVE? IM NOT NERVOUS PSHHH NOT AT ALL AHAHHA WHY DO YOU THINK THAT??”
he is really calm during the actual exhibit tho.
he gets so flustered from all the compliments and it makes him really happy :)
checking up on him throughout the night to make sure he’s keeping his cool
if someone wants to buy one he’d be so happy on the inside and talk about it for days after the exhibit with you.
near the end of the exhibit he has one covered painting, and when it’s time to reveal, it’s a painting of you!
because how could he have an art exhibit without including you? his main support and love of his life <3
aot masterlist main masterlist
when jean courts someone, he also courts the entire family. the hopeless romantic in him convinced himself to also please the family, your family. — you're that precious to him.
jean being a hopeless romantic will forever remain in my mind. <33
when he first started developing feelings for you, he's this stuttering mess that couldn't function properly if you're in the same room as him. that spanned for about the entirety of high school. however, because you're classmates since high school, you're bound to have some interactions. the small crush he harbors for you since freshman year of high school grows over time and it morphs into this ball of confidence, which leads to him confessing to you while you out of the blue during university. he feels too much for you, even if it's unrequited at first that every minuscule thing you do from across the room, opens up this jar of butterflies in his ribcage. he feels every beat of their wings when you smile at him every time you meet each other's gazes. jean will give you random snacks throughout the day, bringing you a cup of boba from the university's teahouse or a packed lunch if he's feeling like it. don't worry, he'll text you beforehand that he made you lunch.
you don't know where to place your relationship with jean. it's so obvious that the line of friendship becomes so blurred that people assume it's erased when it comes to the two of you. so, when you study in the library together, you got your answer in the form of a determined yet shy, "i'm courting you, sunshine." you swear you saw every single flower the moment those words came out of his mouth. the small grin on his lips signify that he saw you hide your smile behind your laptop screen.
jean is a family person. even if he shies away from his mom's affections during your visits in his home, he prioritizes family more than anything. that goes to your family as well. the day you introduce jean to your family is something worth keeping in a chest of tiny memory wisps because it's hilarious and concerning at the same time (for you, that is). knowing your dad, he will slowly shed that tough exterior; but in your mom's case, she's smitten by him. jean is a born gentleman --- always drinking his respect women juice every single day of his waking life (which is the bare minimum but we take it) and is always polite to strangers. not to mention, he looks like a model who came from a photoshoot (with that undercut hiding behind his mullet, sharp jawline, perfect face structure, and tall physique --- whew, i can go all day thinking about how perfect jean is because god damn it) so your mom is so ecstatic to get to know him better.
if you have a sibling, holy shit, jean will spoil them as if they're his own little brother or sister. every time he visits your home, jean brings home some snacks to give to your sibling, which is just about the only criteria they have to approve him as your potential boyfriend. when the two of you are sleeping over during a uni break, you often find him conversing with them in the living room about the newest games and thanks to him playing with eren, connie, and armin until the clock strikes 2 am; he can relate to what your little sibling is playing at the moment. he'll give them tips to make the gameplay much easier.
and when you meet gazes as your sibling continue to ramble about critical hits, you know jean is the one who will love you with immortality. as you let yourself bask in those affection-laced amber eyes, you mouth a single word that will change your relationship for the better. jean's smile is blinding and you only laugh as he turns to your sibling, face painted in glee with the words, "you're now looking at your sibling's boyfriend, squirt!"
