Just like old times (Bertholdt X Reader)

Chapter 4

(Big Time Skip)

The screams came from all over. A shadow looms over us. I look behind and see it, piercing Emerald eyes looked at us, The colossal Titan...

We all pull out our blades.

The wall begins to shake as Eren disappears. Probably to kill Bertholdt. He'll fail. I know it.

Here's goes the plan...

The hole is made in the wall. We jump down and begin eliminating Titans. I notice Marco is missing from my squad. I look at the wall and see it.

Marco's PoV

I cried for help. Begging for them to let me go. Promising I won't tell a soul. Nothing

I felt the Titan grab me.

Won't anyone help me..?

A high pitch noise is heard. It's coming closer and closer or is that just me..?

I loud roar is heard as the Titan drops me.

My call was heard..?

I felt something catch me followed by them hitting the ground. Only now do I realise I have my eyes closed. I refuse to open them

"We can't! It's bad enough you know!"

"We can't just kill him!"

"Many die from Titans, what's one more?!"

"Is that all we are? Things for you to kill? Thought I knew you better but I was wrong..."

"Wait! No!"

I heard the sound of hooks being shot and felt the wind on me. I finally open my eyes to see my saviour, (Y/N).

She had a stern face, I look at her hands, she was holding me on her elbows while using her hands for her gear. I look ahead to see her flying past many Titans.

She lands on the wall. I could see everyone else regrouping. She finally looks at me.

(Y/N)'s PoV

I look at Marco to be met with his gaze.

"Are you okay?" I asked placing him down

"Y-Yeah, I think," He was shaking extremely badly

"No injuries?" I asked

"Not that I can feel," He replied

"(Y/N)? Marco?" I heard Jeans voice

"Jean, are you okay?" I asked not leaving Marco's side

"I'm fine, where's Marco's gear?" Jean asked

"Destroyed, had to throw it," I said before Marco could say a word

"I'll see if I can get a spare from below," Jean said jumping down the wall and using his gear to get to the others

"They-"

"I know, but you can't say, okay?" I interrupted

He burst into tears, unable to cope with what happened.

I pull him into a hug, "Hey, it's okay," I whispered

"I won't tell... I promise... but please don't leave... I don't feel safe," I said between sobs

"I'm here, don't worry, I'll keep you safe," I said

"What's going on?" I heard Jean return

"He's struggling to cope," I answered, "In the mouth of a Titan when I got to him,"

"Fuck... Are you okay?" Jean asked running over, spare 3DMG on one arm

"Yeah, Pass the gear, I'll be fine," He said letting go, wiping his eyes then taking the gear from Jean

"Are you sure?" Jean asked

"Yes, now what's going on?" He asked sticking by my side

"They are regrouping to make a plan," Jean explained

"Let's go then," I said turning to far the wall

We all blasted off the wall and towards the group. Once we landed we got into positions. We were placed together in the middle row to kill any Titans that get past the first.

We all began killing Titans in our sections, Marco didn't leave my side, Jean staying by him. I land on the roof.

"I'm out of gas," I said

"Me too," Marco said

"Same," Jean said

"There's too many Titans around the supply, what do we do?" Sasha asked

"Fuck..." I muttered

I look over and saw Bertholdt, Reiner and Annie walking over. Marco suddenly stands closer to me.

"Out of gas too?" Reiner asked

"Yeah, Fucked killing those Titans," I spoke coldly

I look over and Jean was talking to Mikasa.

"Look we-"

"I don't fucking care, the minute I saw what happened to Marco I was done," I said, "I'm not having bullshit,"

From the corner of my eye I saw Marco looking at me.

"I may not care about that bullshit," I pointed back referencing them turning into Titans, "But the minute you try to kill someone who I trust, That's it," I sigh, "You promised,"

Jean walked over, "We have a plan,"

I nod and get ready to go. Marco still by my side.
