Canon
The two are shown starting in friendly terms with each other as Floch was a new recruit in the Survey Corps, coming from The Garrison as the propaganda on the Survey Corps increased after the coup d'etat. During supper, Jean begins to bad mouth about the new recruits and mentions the lack of veterans, with most of them being deceased. Floch overhears Jean and decides to confront him as a joke and mentions they were both part of the 104th Cadet Corps, Jean asks Floch why he joined at this certain time which the other male mentions about the lack of scouts as well taking back Wall Maria. Floch questions whether that Jean would call himself a veteran until Jean comebacks by comparing the two, which the newly recruit questions on Jean's change before leaving.

With Floch being a newly recruit he was automatically assigned to Squad Klaus with other new recruits, Floch participated in Erwin's suicide charge against the Beast Titan as a strategy to end the Beast Titan altogether, the final outcome comes out with Floch being a sole survivor of the charge as well being the nine survivors, including Jean. After the battle a ceremony would be held to honor the surviving scouts, beforehand Jean would advise Floch to speak to Hitch of Marlowe's final moments in the Battle of Wall Shiganshina. However, during the discussion with Hitch, Floch tells her about Marlowe's most likely final regrets in his final moments which upsets Hitch, Jean asks Floch why did he say such a thing to Hitch. The two are later honored by Queen Historia.

Four years into the time skip, both Floch and Jean participate in the raid of Liberio in Marley. Jean catches Floch with explosives' as he readies to blow the civilians of Liberio's homes, Jean then orders Floch to stop and minimize civilian death. Floch then reminds Jean that they're in enemy territory and that the people outside of the walls are the reason why most of the people who lived inside are dead, but also Floch points out to Jean that Eren told them to fight instead of waiting inside of the walls.

After the Raid on Liberio, one out of the two children shot Sasha during the celebration of the victory against Marley, Floch and other Survey Corps recruits attacked the children. Afterwards, Floch asks Jean if he should throw the children off the airship but is denied as Jean believed it wouldn't stop the bloodshed between Marley and Paradis Island. When Eren begins the rumbling the walls fell from Eren undoing all hardening and Floch is hit but eventually survives sustaining a head injury, and Jean is disappointed learning that Floch survived as Floch mentions he cannot die yet during the moment of the return of the Eldian Empire. Floch tries to convince Jean in order to gain his support by telling him about his old desires and how Jean wanted to live a comfortable life in Wall Sina as an Military Police officer.

Jean then accompanies Floch and 'becomes' a Yeagerist for the public execution of Yelena and Onyankopon, unknowingly, Floch was not aware Jean was apart of an operation to save Yelena and Onyankopon from being executed. Jean signals Mikasa to continue the operation by purposely missing four shots which confuses Floch. Pieck, in her Cart Titan form then appears, Jean pushes Floch out of the way in order for Pieck to take him, Yelena and Onyankopon to Levi and Hange as part of their plan. Floch then orders other Yeagerists to chase after Jean and the others eaten. During the fight between the fight of the Yeagerist and the Alliance, Floch is shot in the shoulder and falls into sea. Unknowingly, Jean and the rest are unaware that Floch is clinging onto the boat to Odiha. On preparing for departure, as heavily injured Floch is he manages to shoot his final bullets to the flying boat before being slained by Mikasa's grappler to his throat. Jean is shown to be in disbelief with those present as Floch lays in his own blood. Finally Floch uses the last of his strength and begs Jean and Hange to not stop Eren as he is their only hope and not to leave him, Jean is visibly distressed after Floch dies.

Fanon
Although not as popular as other AOT slash ships, FloJean has been gaining popularity, especially among Floch fans. It is considered to be a healthier ship in comparison to its rival ship, Fleren. Most fans believed that Jean might've been Floch's only friend in the survey scouts as he might've tried guiding him after the Battle of Wall Shiganshina and the ceremony for the fallen soldiers. Despite not being very popular among the English-speaking fanbase, it has gained traction on Twitter and Japanese social medias such as Pixiv, as well with the Russian fanbase.
