Kiddo - Aot x Child Reader

Chapter 1 - ...Free

Third Person POV

The underground... a dark and cruel place filled with crime and people at their lowest. It's survival of the fittest, and those who can't make it are left behind to rot. This is the life all too familiar to a certain young boy, nimbly running through the grime-filled alleyways as he escapes a horde of men chasing him...

...This boy is M/N, and this is his story.

M/N POV

Damn, these guys are annoying, I think to myself, throwing a knife at one of the men's legs, making him curse in pain. All I did was steal a black duffel bag from them, and now they are chasing me like stampeding horses. I don't even want their stupid bag anymore, it's not worth the trouble. Anyway, they should know better than to be walking around with their belongings out in the open. Getting bored of their relentless chasing, I nimbly climb up a building ledge to ledge, the men struggling to follow. One of them falls, and it turns into a domino of them all falling down the building and landing on their asses. I slightly laugh at this, mockingly waving the bag from my safe height and quickly making my escape as they curse me out more.

Opening the bag, I am greeted with a plastic bag filled with drugs. Throwing that to the side, I continue searching the bag, finding some food and cash in the front pocket and loading it all into my F/C satchel. As I begin packing everything else up to sell later,  I hear a massive bang, followed by screams. Turning around in shock I see that the ceiling has collapsed... which should be impossible. As I jump across the rooftops towards the collapsed roof to see what's going on, I stare in shock as all I see are hundreds of people crushed under the weight of a massive foot, people bleeding out and sobbing as hot steam pours through the town. Those who weren't crushed begin suffocating, as I feel my lungs begin to close up as well. Taking a leap of faith, I jump down from the rooftop I was residing on and bolt towards the opening in the ceiling, desperately climbing the rubble trying to get a breath of fresh air before the hot steam burns me to a crisp. Just as I reach the top, the giant foot disappears, and I hear more cries, this time from the people above the ground.

Catching my breath for a moment, I spin around to see giant, naked people flooding in through a broken gate. There are much more dead people here, and as the familiar scent of blood fills my nostrils I begin running, unsure of where to go. As I run, I smack into an older-looking man. He says something inaudible, and I slowly back away from him before running away and into an alley. Taking time to catch my breath, I look around at the scene before me. There are many giant people, who I overheard were called "titans" flooding into this town. The place is nearly deserted now, and I managed to remain undetected from soldiers and titans alike, sneaking past and taking a piece of the flying gear from a dead soldier's body. Cruel, but I want to survive this. I'm sure the thing is easy to use anyway... I hope.

I creep into houses, grabbing whatever food I can and it and storing the it in my bag. This place is great, despite the unfortunate circumstances that surround me. I never got much food underground, as I had to ration what I could. In this place, there are drawers stocked with them, fresh bread, apples, and even meat! After I finish filling my bag, I begin looking for a way to get out of this place. The Titans seem pretty dumb, so as long as I stay above ground I'll be fine. As I stealthily creep along the rooftops, I see a large, castle-looking building being overrun with a ton of Titans. Damn rich people. Before I could think more about what it would be like to live in a castle, I felt a large flash behind me and am knocked off my feet, falling off the roof. I hurriedly try to grab onto anything, but I am launched too far behind and splat into the floor. Groaning slightly, I drowsily pick myself up before seeing a massive titan in front of me. I audibly gasp but cover my mouth as I am afraid to alert the huge beast. As the titan roars at an ear-piercing level, my head begins to feel light as I feel a shot of pain and look down at my leg. A massive cut has formed on my leg, and I grit my teeth as I feel myself lose consciousness, cursing myself for being so careless.
