An Ocean Turned Crimson (A Shingeki No Kyojin Fanfic)

Preface: HOLY SHIT IS THAT A TITAN!

I join my friends Harry and Tom at the corner shop; like me they are on their boards; it's going to be fun; it's October half term and we're going to cosplay for our friend Zada's halloween costume party tomorrow!

I wave to Tom and Harry; both boys are drinking cans of coke.

"Hi Annie." Tom smiles.

"You mean 'Hi Levi'." Harry corrects. I roll my eyes; I'm cosplaying as a genderbent Levi since I have always wanted an excuse to call people shitty brats.

"Stick it L." I poke my tongue out at the pale dark haired boy, he's dressing up as L for Zada's party.

"You're not meant to tell people that he's L!" Tom frets.

"Who cares I'm as good as dead anyway, don't you agree Junochi?" Harry shoves the blond boy who is going to be Junochi also known as Joey Wheeler for the party.

"Is Rin coming?" I ask.

"Brad said he'll meet us at Zada's." Tom says. Brad is going as Rin from AO no Excorsist.

"Ready to go to the estate then?" Harry asks.

"Wait! First let me get a Pepsi!" I command, darting into the corner shop and buying a bottle of Pepsi MAX. Upon buying it I place it in my synthetic leather rucksack.

I join the boys outside, they too are wearing shirts with references on them; Tom's shirt is littered with red eyes to look like the demonic cloud that Aulcard can produce. You know; Aulcard from Hellsing Ultimate? Beside him is Harry who has shirt that simply says 'TITANNNNNNNNSSSS!!!!' across the front. Mine is simply a shirt with an arrow saying 'Kira'.

We head toward Zada's house, casually chatting about episodes of anime's we're excited to see, mainly the entirety of the second season of Shingeki No Kyojin.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Wanna help me hide a body?" Brad asks, jumping out from his hiding place; in Zada's empty recycling bin.

"No." Zada replies.

"Misa Misa has left the building." she grins, board under her arm. Zada is going to dress as Misa Amane from Death Note for her party -despite havng inky purple hair. Her shirt is a plain red one however her crop legnth denim jacket has 'I suspect you do not have the eyes' painted on the back with fabric dye. Oh I love how we can reference.

"Levi, Rin, Junochi and L. How nice to see you, let us go and piss off... whoever the fuck Carley decides to go as."

"Let's!" we agree, hopping onto our boards.

"Is that shirt new Brad?" Harry laughs.

"Yeah, just for Carley." Bad grins; the only anime she has seen since she was a child was Free! Iwatobi Swim Club so he is wearing a shirt saying 'Feel FREE! To Diss The Swimming Anime'.

"There!" Tom points, we turn into the alley and count the houses; Carley's parents hate us bringing our boards into the house so we are instucted to knock at the back door, our boards left in the small slither of a garden they have.

We knock on the glass, boards propped up against the wall when a very annoyed Carley in a newly ordered 'For The Team' shirt opens the door.

"Why did you have to knock NOW?" Carley whines. "I have been watching Death Note since four in the afternoon, yesterday. And something's happening! Some guy just let off a smoke bomb right before Takada Kyomi."

My friends and I share a glance.

"Do you want to know?" Brad smirks. I meet his devious gaze.

"Tell me!" she pleads.

"Dead Matt, Dead Matt." Tom starts.

"Dead Matt." Harry joins in.

"Dead Matt!" Zada chimes in.

"Mail Jeevas rides no longer and that's because he's dead." Brad begins the first proper verse.

"A bunch of Kira crazies shot him in the head.." I grin.

"And now there's blood all over." Tom adds.

"It dyed his green hair red." Harry smirks.

"His cigarette has just gone out." Zada smiles.

"It makes the fangirls cry and pout!" I enthuse in unison with Brad.

"Dead Matt." Tom starts the chorus once again.

"Dead Matt." Harry laughs.

"Dead Matt." Zada is really getting into it.

"He's dead!" I chime.

"Now Matt's good buddy Mello is sorry his friend died." Brad agan starts the verse.

"But he's still got Takada and a sweet ass ride." Tom chuckles.

"His plan is still in motion, No way Kira can hide!" Harry exclaims.

"He will beat Near, the goal's ahead." Zada adds.

"SHE'S GOT A DEATH NOTE!" I beam.

"Now he's dead." our collective laughter sounds like shrieking hyeenas as we see Carley's face. She's in shock.

"Seriously you guys?" she cocks a brow.

"Yes, now are you coming anyway?" Brad replies.

"Give me a minute I need to grab a key." she grins, tossing her board to Harry while she gets some things. I bet she's fnishing the episode.

"Totally doesn't believe our song." Tom scoffs.

"She really doesn't does she?" Zada agrees.

"I am really excited for your party Zada." Harry smiles.

"So am I!" she bounces.

"Okay I'm ready now!" Carley skips out of her house.

We skate nowhere in particular, round in circles, laughing at silly stories we were telling. On a day like today most people would be in the town centre so we avoid there and pass bars and corner shops, stopping to buy chips from the 'scummy' greasy chip shop at the southern side of the estate in which Carley, Brad and Zada live. Despite the place's bad reputation the food is really good.

"What was that!" one of my classmates yells to his friend as they sprint away.

"What was what?" Brad asks our classmate. He points upward. We are on a hill, this hill is at the start of the industrial port estate. Each of our eyes veer upward, in the direction we were indicated to look at. Our jaws fall.

"Don't tell me." Harry gasps.

"It can't be!" Zada muses.

"But if it's not then what is it?" Tom cocks a blond brow.

"Is it bad that I want it to be what we all think it is?" Brad asks.

"Not at all." the group, minus Carly chime.

"I must be asleep. They don't exist." I shake my head.

"HOLY SHIT IS THAT A TITAN!" Carley shrieks in awe.
