A World Not My Own

Eren

Everything was silent... 

As they all sat down for dinner. Apart from Mikasa who had gone to give some food to Eren in his room. 

Connie wouldn't look at Marco, staring at his plate but not touching his food. 

Armin was looking awkwardly at Jean, Connie and Marco. 

Jean looked extremely uncomfortable. 

Sasha tried to start up a conversation "So how long do we stay here before our next mission Captain?" 

Levi stood in the Kitchen, looking out of the window deep in thought about something, he frowned at her question then grunted, looking upwards "As soon as the brat up there can come back to his senses again"

Armin sighed "Its almost been two weeks. Despite what Mikasa says and what he's been through we need him" 

Marco blinked, he'd never heard Armin do anything but defend Eren before, was he actually disagreeing in what Eren was doing? 

"You can't blame him though, its not every day you find out you eat your-" Sasha stopped glancing at Marco, her eyes slightly wide. 

Levi said grimly "Might as well tell him. He'll find out eventually" 

"But...shouldn't Eren be the one to tell him?" Jean asked uncomfortably. 

"He won't be in the best state of mind to retell it again" Levi said slowly

No one said anything for a while, Levi broke the silence sighing "Well, you know the serum that turns humans into Titans?" 

Marco choked on his drink "Whaat!" 

Jean accused Connie "I thought you said he knew about your village!" 

Connie went a bright red as he snapped back "I told him they were all dead, there was nothing else to say!" 

"You uh didn't mention-" Armin said slowly. 

Connie sneered "Oh thats would of been such a lovely conversation topic, speaking of my dead family, hey Marco did you know my village and family got turned into titans and we believe that titans are actually humans? Oh great! Believe it or not I wasn't exactly in the best mood at going into detail, thanks!" 

Marco felt like he was going to faint. 

"W-what?" He said weakly. 

Connie's village had been turned into titans? Titans were humans?

"T-that doesn't make sense" Marco muttered shakily, his hands going through his hair nerversly. 

"Unfortunately it makes to much sense" Levi grumbled, looking down at his tea. 

There was another grim silence before this time it was Armin that broke it, he said in a soft tone "Their is a serum that turns humans into titans, then from there the titan...the titan must..." He trailed of cringing. 

"The Titan must eat a titan shifter. Eren's father was a titan shifter and the one to give Eren the serum" Levi continued seriously and grimly. 

Marco's brain felt like someone was grating his brain cells one by one or it was turning into mush, did he hear him correctly? 

This couldn't be true... 

It just couldn't be... 

"S-so...so Eren eat his...?" Marco said, his voice trembling and his face paling. 

"He didn't know intill a couple of weeks ago, the serum his dad gave him made him forget" Levi said. 

"And titans are....?" Marco added. 

"Yeah" Jean said, avoiding looking at Marco. 

"I-I think I need to sit down" Marco muttered, his head spinning.

"You are sitting down" Sasha pointed out, worriedly. 

"Oh...So I am" Marco said faintly, looking a little bit green. 

"Try not to faint on us brat" Levi commented dryly. 

"I-I'll try my best Captain" Marco said weakly. 

"I'll get you some water" Sasha piped up, quickly hurrying away. 

Suddenly everyone tensed and a male voice shouted "WHAAT!? IF this is some kind of Joke Mikasa its not funny!"

They all heard footsteps coming down the stairs. 

Eren... 

They heard Mikasa's voice following him "I'm not joking, its a shock but-" 

Marco gulped as Mikasa stopped speaking when Eren came into the kitchen hurriedly, he stilled when his eyes looked at Marco. 

"Marco" Eren whispered.
