Attack on Titan x Male Reader : Marley's Spy

Crazy For Her

Year 847

Graduation had been a couple of days ago, and the 98th Cadet Corps had officially been disbanded pending the night they got to choose which regiment they were to join. Y/N had finished at the top of his class in the number one position, with the other top positions being filled by people he hardly knew, aside from the tongue biting Oluo in seventh place and Petra scraping into the top 10 by the skin of her teeth.

Not that it would matter for those two very much, because they were off to join the Scouts, alongside a very small number of others who didn't want to join the Garrison after missing out on the top 10 and the few other idealistic and hopeful idiots that thought there was a future aside from death outside the walls.

The past few days after the disbanding ceremony, they had been stationed with the Garrison in Trost, helping out with maintenance of the walls, cleaning the equipment and patrolling the district when they were asked to.

Coincidentally, the day after the disbanding was when they new batch of Cadets arrived at the training grounds, the 104th he believed it was, and after a visit to the recruitment centre in the city and some persuasion, he was able to look through the applicants that had all been sent to the training grounds for their initiation.

After a little while sifting through the paperwork, he had found what he was looking for more or less, an application for for one Reiner Braun, but one oddity was that it was filler with a very minimal amount of information. He had put down where he lived at "South East Wall Maria", what kind of fucking lie was that?

"You idiot." Y/N had whispered to himself at the time. "What the fuck is wrong with you?" Filtering through the other applications, the rest were filled with information about home towns, although there were obviously a few within Wall Maria that didn't write a lot, but at least they gave a name for their homs town, not a fucking direction.

The next one he found was Bertholdt's, and he had written the exact same thing as Reiner for his hometown. Next was Annie's, the exact same thing, what the fuck was wrong with them? Surely Marcel would've at least told them to pick a name of a town or village on a map, speaking of Marcel, his application was nowhere to be seen, and after asking about a possible missing one, apparently they were actually careful with military documents to prevent ODM gear being stolen, so there was very little chance it went missing.

At least he knew where they would be though, and he presumed they had the same idea as him to join the Military Police to get closer to the Royal Family and central government, with a lot of the tightened security mainly his fault anyway.

That was two days ago though, and because the Garrison did basically nothing aside from wall maintenance, they had made all the graduating cadets do all the work that they didn't want to do, like the task of cleaning the filthy cannons that were used if a large number of Titans gathered at the base of the wall, and unfortunately for Y/N, that was the job that he was given along with some others that were scattered across the outer wall cleaning cannons.

The amount of grease and old gunpowder Y/N had managed to clean from the inside of the cannon was an accident waiting to happen, it looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months, and that was not a good thing.

He could hear the sound of ODM gear whizzing nearby, meaning someone was coming up his way, and he made sure his back was to the wall, because he really didn't want to talk to anyone right now, at least he didn't want to initiate a conversation at the very least.

He heard someone land behind him, and the footsteps began approaching him. "You've been avoiding me." Her voice told him, a statement of fact, rather than a question. "Why?"

"I don't have anything to say to you." Y/N responded, not even turning around to face her. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm kind of busy right now, so go away."
