Chapter Twenty One

"Wait!" Hange exclaimed, slapping their hand on Moblit's chest

They turned to the rest of us in the back of the wagon, most of us not as excited as Hange themselves. Most of the cadets looked sleepy, mainly Sasha, who had already fallen asleep on my shoulder.

Levi and I seemed like the only two who were awake enough to hear Hange's next set of eccentric antics

"Let's go to Trost" Hange turned to me, that same damn deviously creepy grin on their face "I want to show you something"

"Hange" Levi sighed "these brats are tired, let's just head back to HQ"

"But Levi!" Hange whined "Don't you want Mariana to see the Executioner of Death?!"

"Well with that name, I'd rather not" I mumbled as I tried to lift Sasha's head off my shoulder

"Oh please, Mariana" Hange pleaded "you'd be the first civilian to see it in action"

I looked over at Levi, he giving me a small shrug as if to tell me it was my choice. I looked at the rest of the scouts, almost all of them asleep, especially Sasha, who had started to snore.

I looked back at Hange, the look on their face in such a pitiful state, pleading for me to say yes. I started to feel guilty. They're face was working

"Fine" I sighed "Since we're not that far from Trost, I guess we could go"

"Oh Mariana! I could kiss you!" Hange exclaimed then turned to Moblit "Onward to Trost!"

We parked the cart on the outskirts of town, walking in through the gates as a group until we reached the other end of the wall.

I looked up at the grand wall that stood before us; It was so tall that it blocked the sun, I didn't even have to squint when looking up to the sky.

"All we need to do is head up there" Hange pointed towards the top of the wall then patted their odm gear "which we can do"

"Yea, but what about me?" I asked in a sarcastic tone

"Well" Hange let out a huff "I guess one of us will have to carry you up there"

"Oh bosdespa" I mumbled under my breath

"I'll do it!" Jean screamed, his voice cracking in a little too much excitement

"Ooh" Connie jested "Jean-boy wants to get close to Mariana"

"Jean has a little crush" Sasha sang in a mocking tone, making the other cadets, especially Eren, laugh

"I do not!" Jean yelled at the group then looked at me

He gave me that look, that look of fear as if I was going to kick his ass once more.

"I mean, I think you're nice and I-" Jean stuttered "I just want to help you. It's not like I want you close to me"

I looked at Jean, brow raised as his face turned a bright shade of crimson. His breathing got shaky as he fidgeted while his two friends laughed until they couldn't breathe.

"No!" Jean exclaimed, looking away from me "I don't mind if you were close to me. You seem quite warm and soft and prett-"

"Jean" Levi interuppted "shut up. I'm taking her"
