Not so Enemy? - Porco x Reader

39

As Petra and you return from the walk, the others in the room notice the bright, happy expressions on the women's faces. Porco, in particular, feels a pang of curiosity and longing as he observes your infectious joy.
Levi raises an eyebrow at the cheerful duo, a hint of a smile on his lips as he notes your light-hearted demeanors. „What's got you two so giddy?"
Petra grins, giving you a mischievous wink before answering Levi's question.
„Let's just say, Y/N had some pretty interesting things to share with me."

Porco glances at you, his gaze filled with affectionate but intrigued. „Oh? And what exactly did you share?" You feel your cheeks flushed as all eyes turn to you, but you smile shyly and shrugs as if downplaying the matter. „Oh, nothing much. Just girl stuff."
You say casually, your voice filled with a hint of nervousness but also a hint of triumph, feeling pleased that you are keeping Porco guessing. Petra chuckles at your response, clearly enjoying the tease. She gives your arm a playful nudge as if to say, „You go girl."
Porco's eyes narrow slightly, his gaze fixed on you as if trying to read your true feelings. He decides to play along, a cheeky smile on his lips. „Oh really? Just girl stuff? I hope you weren't gossiping about me too much."

„Oh please, what could there possibly be to gossip about you?" Porco feigns indignation, clutching his chest dramatically.
„What? Are you saying I'm boring?"

You laugh at Porco's melodramatic reaction, your heart swelling with affection.
„Oh, please." You say amused, „Don't act so wounded. I never said you were boring, you know that. But sometimes a girl needs a little girl time, that's all."

„There's one thing I'll give to that idiot. He did manage to protect you a couple of times. In Liberio, and in Shiganshina. But don't let him think that makes up for his other shortcomings." Porco rolls his eyes, a smirk on his face.
„Oh, come on, Levi.", he retorts, his voice cocky. „Admit it, you're secretly impressed by my skills. Even you can't deny how badass I am when it comes to protecting Y/N."

Levi scoffs, his eyes narrowing at Porco's words.
„Impressed? Never. You're a hotheaded fool who just happens to be marginally good at fighting. But don't believe for a second that I'm going to start praising you, idiot."
„Come on, you two." You interrupt, „Enough with the boasting and the arguing. Can't you be civil for even a minute?"

Meanwhile on the other side of the sea

On the other side of the sea, far from the playful banter between you and Porco, the atmosphere is tense and uncertain. Marley's perspective is one of strategy and planning. They sit around a table, discussing and pondering how to bring Porco back into their ranks. They know he is a valuable asset with his ability to transform into a titan, and they are determined to find a way to get him back. The room is filled with tension, and the only sound is the low murmur of their voices as they brainstorm ideas and possibilities.

Some of the conservative military officers express their disagreement strongly, arguing that the Jaw Titan is lost and too risky to try and recover. They argue that the risk to life outweigh the possible benefits, making it a foolhardy endeavor to even consider attempting to rescue him. The other titanshifters are also present, along with the warrior cadets. They sit in silence, listening to the debate and discussion. The atmosphere of tension hangs heavy in the air, and they all know that whichever decision is reached will have a significant impact on their future.

...

The room is quiet, the only sound is the soft, steady breathing of the two sleeping figures. Porco's arm is draped over you, his body pressed against yours as he sleeps peacefully. You are nestled comfortably in his embrace, your head resting on his chest.
The moonlight filters in through the window, casting a soft, silvery light over the room. Porco stirs slightly in his sleep, his arm instinctively pulling you closer to him in a protective gesture. You rouse slightly at the movement, your eyes flickering open sleepily. You look up at Porco, a soft smile playing on your lips as you see his sleeping face. You shift slightly, snuggling even closer to him, your body seeking the warmth and comfort of his presence.

You reach up to gently brush a strand of hair from his forehead, your touch tender and affectionate.
Porco leans into the touch, his body instinctively responding to your tender caress. His eyes flutter open fully, and he looks down at you with a sleepy smile.
„Hey." He mumbles, his voice hoarse with sleep. „What are you doing up?"
You smile back at him, your eyes still heavy with drowsiness. „Just woke up for a moment. Go back to sleep."
You reach up to brush your fingers gently through his hair, continuing your soothing touch. The blonde one lets out a contented hum, his eyes fluttering shut again as he succumbs to your soothing touch.
„Mmm. Your touch is too nice, it's making it hard to go back to sleep."

„Oh, is my touch too distracting for you, my sleepy warrior?" You continue your gentle caress. Porco lets out a low grumble, his eyes still closed.
„Damn you, woman." His voice half-teasing, half-complaining. „You know damn well your touch drives me crazy. How am I supposed to sleep with you touching me like that?"
„Maybe I enjoy driving you crazy. Maybe I like knowing that my touch affects you so much. Maybe I just like having you wrapped around my finger."

„Oh, you know you have me wrapped around your finger, woman. And you have no shame in taking advantage of it, do you?", he replies, his voice gruff but affectionate. You let out a laugh, your hand still gently stroking his hair. „Not at all. Why should I have shame when I have a handsome, strong warrior at my disposal? And one who is so easy to play with."
