Marco- a titan shifter

Chapter seven

I hold frida sleeping in my arms I still haven't moved from my spot by the door, Hugo lays under the triangle my leg makes with the ground. I think of jean, oh how much I want to run away from here and to him, but I promised frida I would stay here until her parents come home however long that may be. I sigh heavily causing Hugo to turn his head lazy towards me, I pat his head and he rests it back down on his paws. I lay my head back on the door, each time I close my eyes I see my friends, their smiling faces welcome me to a long needed sleep.
When I wake I'm up in the bed, I must have moved here sometime in The night and I don't even remember, I hear a faint sizzle and a burning smell coming front the other room. I stay in Bed another minute or two trying to convince myself she can handle this but when I hear a crash and some crying I jump up as quickly as my groggy body will allow and make my way to the kitchen. When I open the door I'm greeted by frida laughing? I stare at her confused and she only laughs harder, then my gaze travels to Hugo who I covered in flour and looking very unimpressed, "what are you doing?" I chuckle "Hugo and I are making um...food?" She giggles I look at the kitchen and food is everywhere "WHAT WAS RULE FOUR!" I yell still laughing "Jesus you waste more food then Sasha" she looks to her feet obviously the joke was not taken as well as I intended, I pull her into a hug "hey bud it's fine, next time just ask me for help, and this might mean I have to leave for a little to collect food" she nods, we stand together and try to scavenge something to eat from This mess.

It's been about 2 months since the battle of trost, since I found and promised to care for frida, people started trickling back into their homes a month ago and almost everybody is back now, but many people died of starvation or found homes inside wall rose and I worry fridas parents may not return. I mean I can't care for a child, I'm a soldier and even if I could how will I convince her to leave her home and come with me. I can't leave her here but I also can't stay, I need to see jean.

Jeans POV
It's been 2 months and 4 days since the battle of trost, since marcos death. He may be gone but he is still a huge part of my life. His memory has helped me with many decisions in my life. I joined the scouts instead of the MPs so I could actually help people, before I only wanted to save my self but now I want to stop the titans to stop other people from having to go through the same pain I have. I also joined the scouts due to the fact they have the highest death rate, so maybe I can meet marco a little earlier.
I thought of killing myself many times but marco would not want me to die for him, I don't want his sacrifice worth nothing, so instead I live for him. I try to be nice and make everyone happy like marco once did, though I'm not very good at it. The thought of him makes me a nicer person, when I'm angry sad or grouchy I just think of marcos smile and I can calm down. I still think about the way I said I love you to marco when I found him so alone on that dark side street. I knew marco had feelings for me, he never told me, but it was obvious, could there had been something more between us? Well there is no use thinking about that now, hes gone.
