[D] LOVE YOU / Pieck Finger x Reader

3

We were just entering the gate after arriving home. On the other side was crowded with towns people, most people would be happy to see there family but i wasn't to exited about it and i'm sure my father felt the same.

I saw Pieck go over to her father to say hello so i chose to give them some privacy.

I looked around to see all the people i knew greeting their family, it was heart warming. Sure i was sad but i would never show that since it would ruin the moment.

I just chose to go home after that and rest.

-

I was walking with Porco to a room where Zeke called us to for a 'meeting' i chose not to question it and just do as he says.

As the both of us walked up the stairs in a comfortable silence both me and Porco froze when we came face to face with Pieck on her hands and knees crawling.

Porco looked startled but i just burst out laughing holding my stomach and grabbed onto Porco's shoulder so i don't fall over.

Pieck looked up at us "mm? Good morning Pock, N/n." she said.

"Pieck...what are you doing?" Porco asked holding his chest trying to calm down while i just continued to laugh "this feels more natural for me. Did i surprise you?" Pieck said "just walk normal, okay?"

-

As the three of us walked into the room once i had finally calmed down we where greeted my Colt "Good morning." he said smiling at us.

"so we're all here?" Zeke asked.

"It's not every day we meet in your room, warchief. Where are the army guys?" Porco asked.

"They're not in this room." Zeke said, i raised an eyebrow at that.

I looked over to Reiner and he seemed to catch on to but he nodded to me to stay quiet.

"We're sharing a cup of tea, that's all" Zeke said placing the cups of tea on the table as i sat down next to Pieck who was laying down with her feet in my lap.

"i'll get to the point." Zeke said as he sat down at the chair "The situation is bad." I tilted my head at him "Marley has emerged victorious from the resource wars of recent years, using our titans to silence any nation that would appose us."

"As a result, the world's hatred of Eldians has exploded to levels only previously seen in the imperial era. We have served Marley in order to show our remorse for our history. We were not wrong to do so. But....The voices from around the world calling for the extermination of the Eldian people have grown even louder."

once he had finished in was silent until colt spoke up "Isn't there a way for us to solve this?" He asked.

"The only way is...to finish what we started. Marley must seize the founding titan and the resources of Paradis, immediately. That way, Marley can maintain its power while..we with our own hands, resolve the threat to this world that is Paradis." Zeke explained.

"But..even if the plan to retake the founder succeeds..I really don't think that'll be enough to overcome the world's historic and worsening hatred of the Eldians." Pieck spoke up while my hand was resting on her leg.

"Very good Pieck! exactly right." Zeke said while pointing at her "what's important is the story we tell we need to prepare a script leading up to us retaking the founder."

"The Tybur family?" Colt asked while Porco looked confused as-well.

"Yes. The first family of aristocrats to oppose king fritz in the great titan war a century ago. As honorary Marleyans, they followed a policy of non-interference in both politics and war..but they agreed to take action, given these fears about the future of Marley and Eldia." Zeke finished.

"true, the Tybur family has never once used a titan against an enemy state." I paused "And most of all, they'll have clout with other countries as a family who fought off king fritz in the great titan war. The world will have to listen to us if we speck through the Tyburs." i finished.

"Very good Y/n! Absolutely right." Zeke said while pointing at me.

"But.." Porco spoke up "The Tybur family has never done their duty to protect our country, even though they held the war hammer titan all this time." He paused for a moment "They've lived carefree lives in big mansions on big estates while other Eldians were forced into internment." Porco looked up "Isn't it a little too...selfish for them to show up now..and start acting like heroes?"

"I know how you feel. but the Tybur family is concerned about our motherland as well." Zeke said as Porco stayed quiet for a moment.

"but we're-" Porco was cut off by Reiner "If this will save our motherland of Marley i welcome it." Porco looked at him shocked while i raised my eyebrow at him.

"We warriors should work with the Tybur family..and act as cornerstones in the restoration of the heroic nation of Marley." Reiner said.

"Yes. A festival will be taking place soon in Liberio." Zeke announced "A festival?" Reiner asked.

"important figures and journalists from many nations will be invited..and the Tybur family will make a declaration. That Paradis will be..under our control within a year." Zeke started as we all looked at him

"the fates of Eldians and Marley..."

"...ride on this strategy."

"we cannot tolerate another failure."
