AOT: The Potatoes of Love [Reader X Sasha Braus]

Chapter 5

*Top of Wall Rose*

Adalhard: So...that's what happened?

Y/N: Yes.

Adalhard: It must of been hell down there. I'm glad you made it out alive.

Y/N: I did...but a lot of people didn't.

Adalhard: Unfortunately, it's par for the course being a soldier.

Y/N: But still...

Adalhard: It's okay, I understand. Though I am concerned about one thing.

Y/N: What is it?

Your father looks at Eren, who was currently talking to Pyxis.

Adalhard: Is it true? Can he really transform into a Titan.

Y/N: As unbelievable as it sounds...yes.

Adalhard: Holy shit.

Y/N: Heh.

Adalhard: What's so funny?

Y/N: Sorry, it's just that...I said the exactly same thing.

*One epic speech later* (Sorry, but it's too long and I don't feel like typing it out.)

Adalhard: You're going back down there?

Y/N: Yep. I lost a lot of friends in Trost, and I don't want their sacrifices to be in vain.

Adalhard: And I can't convince you to stay?

Y/N: You can try, but it won't work.

Adalhard: (Stubborn, just like me.) *sigh* Okay, you can go. Just...please don't die.

Y/N: *smiles* Don't worry. *pulls out blades* I have no intention of dying today.

You jumped off the wall and made your way to the giant bolder. As you did, your father watched on, seeing how far you have come.

Pyxis: You're little boy has grown up into quiet the warrior huh?

Adalhard: Yes he has...yes he has. (He's finally left the nest.)

*Y/N's POV*

Y/N: Armin, I understand your the smartest people in our group, but stabbing Eren in the nape?! Have you lost your mind?

Armin: Well do you have a better idea?

Y/N: No, but that doesn't change the fact that your plan is crazy! How do you know Eren won't try to kill you?

Armin: There's no time for us to argue, just trust me!

Y/N: *breaths in* Okay, I'll trust you.

You stepped back and watched as Armin made his way to the incapacitated Titan. (also known as Eren Yeager) The plan was to have him carry the bolder to the hole and block it. Things took a turn for the worse when Eren lost control and tried to kill Mikasa. All you could do was hope that somehow Armin could pull through for everyone's sake.

And once again, he did.

After Eren snapped back to his senses, he grabbed the boulder and started carrying it to the gate. That was the easy part though, now came the hard part.

The elite team and some others used themselves as bait while you Mikasa and Armin protected Eren as he made his way to the hole. Despite loses, the mission was a success and the hole was sealed. The Scout Regiment and Garrison finished off any Titans that remained.

For the first time in years, humanity as won. It was a bittersweet moment for you personally, knowing how many friends had died in Trost. At least they could rest easy now.

Unfortunately there was no time to celebrate. You had to deal with the corpses left behind by the (now deceased) Titans. They didn't have a digestive system so they throw up what's left of their victims. Among one of them was a familiar face. Well....half of one.

Y/N: That face...no. It can't be.

Jean: Marco?

Y/N: There's no mistaking it...that's Marco.

You looked down on what remained of your Marco. Half of his body was gone, likely bitten of by a Titan. You could feel your hands shaking as you stared at the corpse that was once your friend.

Y/N: Of all people...why? Why did you have to be one of the unlucky ones? DAMN IT ALL!

You punched the side of a house in frustration. This whole thing felt like a sick joke, and you weren't laughing. You felt like you were on the verge of snapping.

Jean: Y-Y/N...are you okay?

Y/N: Okay? Did you seriously just ask me if I'm okay?

You grabbed Jean by the collar, unable to control your emotions anymore.

Y/N: I've lost so many of my friends, my best friend (Sasha) nearly died, I almost died myself, and Marco's corpse is right in front of us! HOW CAN I POSSIBLE BE OKAY?

You let go and fell to your knees, tears started to pour down your face. It was all too much to handle. It didn't matter how much you cried though.

It didn't change the fact that Marco was gone.

Sorry this took longer than it had any right to, I have a part time job now so it's getting in the way of me writing this. Yay, more things to worry about!
