Shingeki no Kyogin: Richer than Blood [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 5: Not Ready Yet

It had been a week since the Scouting Legion went on their expedition. There were still white a few people recovering from their traumatic experience and others just let it slip. I probably wouldn't be able to let it slip off or, even go out of the walls.

"Hey," a sweet voice said to me. I recognized it to be Marco.

"Hey.." I said off into the galaxy of my mind.

"You doing any better?" he asked as he sat down next to me and pulled me into a hug.

"Yeah... I guess... Just, off a little, is all." I replied, still daydreaming a bit. I stopped and snapped back into reality.

"That's good. It's lunchtime now. Do you want to head to lunch with me?" Marco asked. His curious face saying that it was okay if I didn't.

"Yeah, I'm kinda hungry anyways." I yawned. I had been very sleepy for the last couple of nights and I couldn't think straight. I think I was getting all my mind back in shape today because Marco had said I was acting like myself again.

"Good afternoon, guys!" Jean greeted Marco and me with a sweet smile. One of his smiles I always fell for.

"Good afternoon, Jean." I greeted him back.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Oh nothing, just snapping myself back into reality," I said, probably daydreaming again. I did it often now. I don't know why, though.

"That's good! We would love to have our (Y/N) back!" Jean joked. The three of us joked around and laughed.

Later...

Commander Erwin had pulled together the 104th Trainee's that were in the Scouts and separated them into two different teams. Some went to go with Hanji and the others, went with Levi.

Levi wasn't as intimidating as he looks, or even seems. He just thinks that because he lost all of his loved ones, that it's his fault. He burdens himself and that's not a good thing.

Hanji she was just a happy person. She loved experimenting with titans. It was her thing. She is rarely upset about things and almost never gets mad. She's very smart, too. A great person to look up to.

Marco, Jean and I were walking around outside, talking. We were talking about if we were to ever switch branches. Marco said that that wouldn't happen. I told him not to doubt that. Anything could happen within the time limit we have.

"I'm so exhausted!" I complained while falling onto my bed.

"I think we all are." Marco agreed, laying down next to me.

"Ahhhhhhh...." Jean groaned as he lay down.

We didn't know how to start explaining the agony we were in. Today's training was really, really hard and the three of us were taken down by Scouting Legion members. If I'm correct, it was Annie, Bertholdt and Reiner. Marco became freaked when he saw them. I told him not to worry. He took on Bertholdt, I took on Annie and Jean took on Reiner.

At the end of the day, we were definitely stronger than before.

We woke up the next morning and we went to breakfast. Recently, the Scouting Regiment and Military Police were eating together. It was probably too dangerous to go back to the Scouting Legion base. It was probably swarmed by titans.

We were all happy and joking around when Corporal Levi walked in. He looked to be in an even worse mood today than usual. I wanted to get up and let him know that if he needed anyone to talk to, that I would listen to whatever he had to say, but that would be disrespectful to the Military Police. I don't know why, though. It just was.

While I was off in my mind, yet again, Marco tried getting my attention, trying to let me know that it was time for training.

"Hey! (Y/N)!!" Marco yelled.

"Hmm? Yeah?" I asked dumbfounded while finally being able to bring myself back to reality.

"It's time for training," he said gently

"Oh, ok," I sighed, probably without realizing it.

During training, Marco and I went up against each other and he beat me. Seven rounds had gone by and I was still getting whopped by Marco.

"H-how are you so s-strong?" I asked partly in disbelief and partly in exhaustion.

"I train on some of my free time. Mostly when you're not around. I do this when you are hanging out with Eren and Armin and Mikasa." he replied with his usual closed eye smile.

So adorable... I thought.

You were tangled in your thoughts, yet again and Marco snapped you back into reality by taking you out for the eighth time that day and that training session. You could see that he was becoming very frustrated with your daydreaming. You gave him a remorseful look. You were honestly ashamed of skipping in and out of reality.

At dinner, you had asked Marco and Jean to talk to you the entire time so that you wouldn't daze off. They agreed and pummeled you with questions. You had answered truthfully.

"Well, dinner's done and we have an hour of free time! What do you guys want to do?" Jean asked.

"Well, I'm not very sure." (Y/N) said thoughtfully.

"We could play truth or dare in the bedroom?" Marco suggested.

"Sure!" Jean and I agreed.

We rounded up some other cadets and gathered in the bedroom to play our game of truth or dare.

"(Y/N), truth or dare?" Bertholdt asked me

"Ummm... dare..." you hesitated and then instantly regretted saying dare.

Bertholdt had the weirdest and, by far, the creepiest smirk on his face. You were so scared you could feel your face filling with sweat.

"I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven wiiiiithh..." he paused to think of who to send me in the closet with. "I dare you to play seven minutes in heaven with Marco!" he yelled and pointed at the two of us.

We went into the closet and I hid in the corner. I was very close to Marco and it was strange that Bertholdt would send the two of us in the closet together. I would've expected him to send me into the closet with someone like Eren or Reiner. But instead, he sent me with my best friend, Marco Bodt.

I'm sorry, I'm leaving off with a cliff-hanger! Lmao, stay tuned in though, I will be posting probably later tonight or sometime tomorrow. If I don't, sue me and scream at me, but it's Thanksgiving weekend and I'm visiting with some family that I don't see often.
