[ Briefly, Mikasa panics and wonders if Jean has suddenly developed the ability to read minds.
Tilting her head up, she watches him for a short few seconds, the kind that probably feels like an eternity for him. She wants, she thinks, to reach out and touch his face, to feel how warm he is, to make sure that this is real because all of it feels like some kind of dream. To have Eren here, to have Jean here, to be able to touch them both and make sure they're safe and well taken care of...
Her hand lifts slowly, pushing the hair out of his face and landing to rest on his cheek, thumb stroking gently over his cheekbone, caught up in the moment of it all. They're in their own bubble right now and nothing can disturb them; there's only her and Jean and nothing in between. She's okay with that, she thinks. She's happy.
It doesn't stop her from getting nervous, though, at the offer - the request, she thinks, or the quiet admitting to a secret. ]
I want to kiss you too.
[ Is that okay? Are they allowed? They're partners, but she can still imagine Eren's jealousy... But they're together too. If Eren wanted to kiss people... She shoves that thought away and focuses on Jean, on the warmth of his skin under hers and the softness of his voice.
She can't be very good at it, so she's determined to take his lead and learn quickly. ]
