The One that Got Away • Zeke Jaeger X Reader

Chapter 20

2 months later...

We have an meeting today with our general for our mission tomorrow, we will conquer this one continent, I don't know the name of that continent.

Marley really loves to conquer other continents. I wonder, aren't they guilty of what they are doing?

"Finger and Galliard you two will be together. Jaeger, Braun, and Oriental, the three of you will be together. The warrior candidates will be with you." General Calvi said.

There are new warrior candidates which are Gabi, Falco, Zofia, Udo, Colt. Gabi and Falco seems to be always competing, but they are the most talented warrior candidates of Marley.

After our meeting, I decided to sleep because tomorrow will be so tiring and I will not get enough sleep.

When I was about to close my door, Zeke hold the door knob to stop it from closing.

"Why?" I tried to smile even though I'm so sleepy.

"You will sleep?" He asked. I nod at him as my answer.

"Can I lie down beside you?" He said with a dominant smile.

"Yeah, of course." I said and let him inside my room. I let myself fell in my bed, Zeke lie down beside me.

I turned my body to him and I hug him. He wrapped his arms on my waist and pulled me closer. I rest my head on his chest and then I fell asleep.

I woke up and I realized it's still dawn, so I've been sleeping for 10 or 11 hours?

I look at my side, and I saw Zeke is still sleeping peacefully. I brushed his hair because it's covering his beautiful eyes. I stared at him for a moment, admiring his handsome face. I kissed his cheek and my eyes widened slightly when he pulled my cheek and kissed me passionately in my lips.

"Goodmorning, love." He said as he pulled out the kiss.

"G-goodmorning." I blushed because he's awake the whole time I was staring at him.

I was about to get up when I remembered that his arms are still wrapped around my waist. He pulled me again and it leads me to lie down again in the bed.

"It's still early, cuddle with me first." His morning voice makes me have butterflies. He rested his face on my neck, and I can feel his warm breath on my neck, it makes me shivers down to my spine.

I'm just playing with his hair until I fell asleep again.

I woke up when I felt that someone is shaking me to wake me up.

"Wake up love, today's our mission." He said while still shaking me a bit.

"Mmm." I stretched my arms and my legs and I get out of bed to take a shower.

After I took a shower, I wear my usual white button-up, long skirt, coat, and a combat boots. I also wear my red armband.

We board the ship and I sit beside Pieck. Zeke and I aren't showy when we are in public, especially when Commander Magath, General Calvi, and other Marleyan Soldiers are around.

The warrior candidates are also here. They all greeted us and we greeted back to them. I asked Falco to sit beside me.

Falco is really a good guy, that's why he's my favorite among all the warrior candidates, well, I like all of them, but Falco is really different from them. Gabi is really competitive to her comrades. Gabi really wants to inherit the Armored Titan, as well as Falco. To be honest, warhammer titan is stronger than the armored. I'm actually planning to inherit my titan to Falco.

"Goodmorning, Y/N-san, and Pieck-san." Falco warmly greeted us.

"Goodmorning, Falco." Pieck and I warmly greeted him back.

"Falco, do you consider yourself inheriting the warhammer titan?" I asked him with a smile.

"Y-yes!" He said and he even saluted in front of me. I softly chuckled and ruffles his hair. This kid is really cute.

"Then, I would want you to inherit my warhammer." I said, still smiling.

"R-really? I will do my best for that, Y/N-san!" He said with a big smile on his face. I ruffled his hair again.

"Then, you don't have to compete with me anymore, Falco." Gabi said, raising her eyebrows. I didn't know that Gabi was listening to us.

Falco didn't answer her and he just look at her with a nervous look.

"Whatever titan you will get, I know you guys still did your best, no need to compete." I said with a smiled plastered in my face. Pieck is just listening to us and she's smiling to both of these kids.

Gabi slightly widened her eyes when she heard what I said, but after a seconds she changed it into a smile.

After an hours of waiting, we finally arrived at this continent.

I saw that there are many soldiers from our enemy, they have canons and many weapons.

We all turned into a titan, I'm with Zeke and Reiner right now, Porco and Pieck are on the other side.

Zeke is just far from them because he throws rocks at them. I made a hammer, and I hardened all the back parts of my body.

I strike the hammer to the soldiers that were about to fire the canon. I also destroyed their canons. Gladly, they are all killed.

Reiner is running to destroy the armored train of our opponent. But he was about to hit by the anti titan rifles of the opponent but I quickly run into him and made a hardening shield to protect him. He nods at me to give me a 'thank you.'

I disregard my hammer and I made a hardening two hardening rifle and I hold it with using both of my hands. I walked slowly and fired it to all the soldiers of our opponent.

I also made a hardening structure from the ground where the opponents are standing and firing their machine guns to us. They were all pierced and their blood is leaking from their body to the structure.

After a hours of fighting, our opponents were wiped out and we claim our victory.

I came out of my titan, as well as the others. The warrior candidates run into us looking worried and also looking happy that we won.

"We're glad that none of you were injured." Falco said. I didn't answer him and just smiled at him.

We get back to the ship and I sit down beside Pieck again.

She leaned her head on my shoulder. "So tired." She mumbled.

I look around to see where Zeke is, and when I land my eyes on him, he was actually looking at me. I waved my hand and cutely smiled at him. He smiled back at me, and I just leaned my head into the back of my chair.
