A Second Chance (Marco x Fem Reader)

Chapter 49

You noticed Connie tightening his grasp around her neck, trying to knock her out. She started struggling against his hold, fighting to be released.

"Do the Scouts never get fed any meat? Pathetic-". Marlo earned himself a punch right on the nose from Sasha for that comment, and Jean was able to get his hand out. Blood came running out of his nose like a fountain.

"Connie, would you knock Sasha out already?", Mikasa asked calm. Sasha landed a punch right at Mikasa's chest, but she didn't even flinch.

"I'm trying! She should be unconscious, but she's still moving!"

You were aware that the rest of the hall was watching the commotion happening at your table, but it was a matter of life and death at this point, and you had no time worrying about what other's thought.

"Eren! Get the rope!", you screamed, sitting on her lap while wrapping your arms tightly around her torso, trapping her arms as well to hold her steady; or at least attempt to do so. You felt like you were sitting on a horse gone rouge, closing your eyes as you held on for dear life.

"I got it!", you heard him say as his footsteps approached.

"Okay, okay", you took a deep breath before lifting your head to be at eye-level with her. "This is gonna hurt Sasha, for you and me both, but it's for your own good...". You then braced yourself, head-butting her hard enough to throw her off, and Connie was able to properly but safely knock her out.

It was finally quiet, except for the low rumbling sounds of voices coming from tables across the room. After they checked that she was in fact still breathing, Eren and Connie made sure to tie her up against a pole, tying a cloth around her mouth for good measure.

"That should do it", Eren sighed.

"She finally ran out of energy". Connie took a deep breath in, examining the state of his other half. "Can you believe this freak? And to think she once offered to share meat with everyone", he let out a strained laugh, his voice shaky.

"What? When?", Eren asked.

"Four months ago, when we were servicing the cannons", Connie reminded him. Eren seemed to zone out. "Hey?", Connie slapped a hand on his shoulder, startling him.

"Only four months has passed since then?"

"Only four months, yes. But think of it this way; In just four months, we became a part of the Levi Squad... Not bad for a gang of rookies", he smirked. Eren smiled at this.

"It's cuz you're a genius", he said rubbing Connie's head.

"Damn straight I am", Connie replied while playfully hitting him on his chest. "Now lets go eat before the food get's cold". This seemed to wake Sasha up, but with her arms and mouth tied there was not much she could do.

You turned around to face the right way in your seat, rubbing the sore spot on your forehead from the impact of the headbutt. Marco was helping Marlo out with his nose, looking over at you and your forehead with a worried look.

"Here", Moblit suddenly showed up with a small basin of ice cold water and a cloth. "Don't want you being distracted by any discomforts tomorrow. Hold the cloth against your head and dip it in the basin again once it heats up", he smiled.

"Thank you Moblit, you're a lifesaver", you said grateful, smiling in delight as the cool fabric eased the already pulsating pain forming in your head. He left to go sit down with Hange and the others again. Eren sat down on the other side of Armin and Jean sat down on the other side of you, the seats once again altered, but it didn't matter much really.
