Cost Of War (Pieck x reader)

Warrior Unit

Y/N Pov

After I ran away, shortly after the greeting ceremony ended and everyone left. I waited, but my family never came. Did they really... leave me? I just sat alone for the day on the streets, contemplating my decision. That felt too sudden. Why did uncle immediately kick me out after I mentioned fighting and using my power? I never heard anything about the Tybur having a job to hide the war hammer. It was too quick. I was disowned at the blink of an eye. I have nowhere to go now. Except... for the army. I will become a warrior. It's the only choice I have.

"Please just let me see the commander." I begged the front guards at the military base in Liberio. This is where the warriors are, I hope. 

"I'm sorry kid. We can't have random people talking to our military personnel." 

"Pleas-"

"That's enough kid. Get outta here. Now."

"Bu-"

"He's with me." Another voice said from behind us as I turned to see the same black haired girl from the greeting ceremony, along with a short, black haired man with a red armband.

"Are you sure Mr. Jones?" One guard asked as the man nodded. Both the guards nodded and opened the gates. The man walked past me through the gates as the girl grabbed my sleeve and pulled me through.

"What do you need to talk to the commander about, Tybur?" The man asked as he turned to me, but still walked.

"I'm sorry about being a nuisance. I need to talk to the commander so I can join the army." I said as he raised an eyebrow at me.

"If you want to join the army, you can talk to a recruiter. There are multiple places for that. Why commander Magath?" He asked again as I was going to respond, I was cut off.

"It's because you have the war hammer, right?" The girl asked as I just nodded.

"How did you know?"

"It was obvious from the greeting ceremony. The way Lord Tybur yelled at you and disowned you. It must have been hard. I'm sorry." The girl said as I just kept walking, not responding to her. 

"Are you really the war hammer kid? Why would they disown you knowing you had the power of the titans? That shit doesn't make sense." The man said. I nodded along with his statement. He was right, it didn't make sense at all. 

"Do they want to lose all their power and prowess? Without the war hammer, they're almost nothing. Just normal Eldians." The man explained further. After walking for a little bit more through the military base and the training grounds, we arrived at a big building. It was made of dark stone bricks that stacked up. It looked sort of like a prison.

"This is the main building. The commander should be doing work in there." The man said as him and the girl were about to walk away.

"Sorry, sir, could I get your names? I would like to thank you." I said to them, causing both of them to turn towards me.

"I'm John Pit. The current holder of the cart titan." The man said. 

"I'm Pieck Finger. The successor of the cart titan. I'm currently going through training." The girl explained, rubbing the back of her neck awkwardly.
