Not so Enemy? - Porco x Reader

49

Porco watches you disappear into the fray, a pang of guilt and sadness settling in his chest. Your cold demeanor towards him cuts deep, serving as a reminder of the distance that now exists between you. Despite the ongoing battle, a part of him longs to reach out, to make things right. But as the fighting continues around him, he knows he has to push those thoughts aside, at least for now. He takes a deep breath, steeling his emotions and focusing on the task at hand, the battle. But the sight of you, even as you disappear into the chaos, remains etched in his mind, a lingering ache he can't shake off.

...

You fight with all your might. The enemy soldiers are no pushovers, and you have to use every ounce of your training and skill to stay alive. Each swing of your sword is calculated and precise, honed through years of hard work. But even as you fight, your mind is full with thoughts of Porco, memories of your brief, passionate moments together. The way his eyes had danced with amusement when he teased you, the way his touch had left your heart racing. You try to push them aside, to focus solely on the battle, but the memories keep resurfacing, like stubborn flames that refused to go out.

You parry a blow from an opponent, the blade of the sword connecting with a loud clang. The force of the impact vibrate through your arm, and you push back with all your strength. Sweat drip down your forehead, and your breath come in short gasps as you continue to fight.

Suddenly, you hear a shout from behind. You spin around, your training kicking in instinctively. A soldier have managed to get behind you, weapon raised, poised to strike. Without thinking, you kick out, your boot connecting with the soldier's stomach and sending him sprawling to the ground. As you whirl around to face the soldier, your foot connecting with his stomach, you finally get a clear view of his face. To your surprise and shock, it is Colt! The realization hits you like a ton of bricks, and you freeze in your tracks. Colt's expression mirrors your own turmoil. Yet, intertwine within that conflict, there is also a hint of joy, a spark of happiness at seeing your friend again, even under such dire circumstances. Colt finally breaks the silence, „Y/N.", he says softly, his eyes searching yours, „I never wanted things to be like this. But here we are, on the battlefield, facing each other as enemies."

Your response is immediate and resolute. „No, Colt. We are not enemies. We are friends, regardless of what this war may try to tell us." Your words carry a weight that transcended the chaos and confusion of the battlefield. In that moment, your bond is stronger than the weapons you hold, the uniforms you wear, or the ideologies that divides you two. Colt's eyes soften as he looks at you, „Thank you, Y/N. I never wanted to fight against you. I'm glad we can still call each other friends."

„He misses you." When Colt utters those words, your heart skip a beat. You know immediately that he is talking about Porco. The pain and longing that had been simmering just beneath the surface suddenly surge up, threatening to overwhelm you. You swallow hard, trying to fight back the emotions that threaten to consume you. Your voice tremble as you speak, the weight of your emotions hanging heavy in the air. „But he left me." It is as if saying it aloud makes it all the more real, and the raw vulnerability in your voice reveale the deep wound that Porco's absence had left on your heart. „He didn't want to leave.", Colt says, his tone compassionate. „And I've never seen him so head-over-heels in love before."

Just as you are grappling with your emotions, a sudden loud sound pierces the air.
Reiner desperately tries to stop Eren from approaching the Beast Titan and confronts him.
Colt and you, fighting on the outskirts of the battle, notice Reiner's unusual behavior and begin to wonder why Reiner is suddenly fighting Eren. While you are still pondering this turn of events, you are distracted by the turmoil of the battle raging around you.

Your words are terse, „Colt, don't die on me. Stay alive. I'll be fine." With those few words, you activate your odm-gear and swiftly shot off into the chaos, leaving Colt with a gratitude and concern etched on his face.

You take off, and as you soar through the air, you see your comrades sharing a similar look of astonishment at what's happening on the battlefield. The Cart and Jaw Titan are trying their best to keep the Beast Titan in check. You can sense the tension in the air, the uncertainty of the situation. It's a moment of chaos and confusion, where the fate of the battle remains uncertain. You take a moment to reassure yourself, repeating quietly, „Look out for yourself this time." But your words take on a deeper meaning, as your mind wanders back to Porco.

...

Suddenly, the atmosphere shifts dramatically. Porco and Pieck launch an attack on Zeke, the Beast Titan. The unexpected move leaves everyone in shock, and the battle takes a new turn. You, witnessing the attack from a distance, are caught off guard and wonder what consequences this unexpected development will bring for the battle's outcome. You can't help but feel a pang of worry for Porco, knowing that he's in the thick of the battle. Your thoughts are interrupted as you refocuse on the chaos unfolding around you.

Both the Marleyan and Paradisian forces are left stunned, unable to determine who is on which side anymore. The sudden shift in allegiances has created confusion and uncertainty on the battlefield. Soldiers exchange perplexed glances, trying to make sense of the unexpected turnaround. Everything happens at a rapid pace as the Jaw and Cart Titan suddenly lunge at Zeke. It's a moment of high intensity, where the outcome is uncertain and the battle's fate hangs in the balance. The two Titans, working together, manage to bring Zeke down. The sight is both impressive and unexpected, adding to the confusion and tension on the battlefield.

Levi quickly realizes what's happening and swiftly moves in between the three Titans, positioning himself strategically. The situation is on a knife's edge, and Levi's presence adds another layer of complexity to the already chaotic scenario. The Cart Titan speaks to Levi, her voice clear and confident. „Yes, Captain, you understand. We and Magath are on your side. We've known for a while that we have to take down Zeke." The revelation seems to catch Levi off guard, adding a new dimension to the ongoing conflict. The situation is more complex than it appeared, with layers of alliances and plans that have yet to be fully revealed. You, watching from a distance, can only try to make sense of the situation. You try to piece together the information, but the rapid development of events makes it difficult to grasp the full picture. Your mind races, trying to predict what will happen next as the battle continues to unfold around. The stakes are high, and the outcome remains uncertain.

The next chapter will also be the last. But for that it will be the longest of all.
