Attack on titan x Male Reader

The hunger returns

"Pay up bub." You spoke out to the older man who grumbled in distaste before passing you the coins that you deserved.

"Hah! Who knew this kid was so good at this!?" One of the older men that surrounded you spoke out before letting out a hearty laugh. You shuffled the cards that you won with, tucking them back into the case that you kept them in. You rose out of the chair that the bartender reserved for you, grabbing the small bag of coins of the table.

"You leaving already kid?" The bartender asked. You glanced over your shoulder at him sending him a grateful smile, glad that there were still some good people within the walls.

"Yea, my mother will be home soon, so I gotta head home before her." He nodded in understanding before bidding you farewell. You walked out of the bar, ignoring the protests of the drunken men that wanted you to stay. You glanced towards the entrance of the wall where the door was opening to let the scout regiment enter once more. You sighed knowing that your mother would be disappointed if you didn't go see her again.

"Might as well." You told yourself as you put the cards and bag of coins into your pocket. You made your way towards the gates ignoring the curious glances that people sent you when they saw the cape that you wore. The black cloth was repaired thanks to your mother who had to literally wrestle it off of you so she can fix it, making it look brand new. The symbol on the back of it shined brightly thanks to the polish that she did as well, which caught a few glances from the garrison, which were eventually shrugged off. The people that surrounded the gates were loud as they conversed with themselves. Most of the people stared in horror at the regiment, knowing that their numbers definitely dwindled from before. You on the other hand just shoved past them, acting like they weren't there.

"Hey brat!" Someone harshly grabbed your shoulder stopping you in place. You looked over your shoulder at the bald angry man that clutched onto your shoulder. It was the man from earlier. He was a stubborn bastard that kept trying to convince everyone that you were cheating to win every game, refusing to accept the fact that you were just naturally good at it. You gave him a blank stare as he grumbled in agner, his lackeys that followed him separated you from the rest of the crowd. He then harshly threw you into an alley where you were quick to catch yourself, rolling across the dirt to land on your feet in a squatting position. The five men that followed him blocked of your exit to the streets where the scouts were making their way through.

"Well looks like I'm not gonna show up after all." You grumbled lightly in anger. The man from before smirked down at you, a sick expression on his face.

"Listen here you little shit." He started off as three of his lackey's broke off from the exit to surround you.

"Here's how things are going to go down." He brought his hands together, popping them to appear intimidating.

"First you're going to give me back all that money you stole from us, then we're gonna teach you a small lesson about life. Don't worry though, just cause you're a kid we won't go easy on ya." His smirk grew larger as one of his men charged you, causing a smirk to appear on your face. You turned to the large man using your thumb to pop your ring finger. You felt your eyes change color as a rush of power surged through you. Your senses were suddenly enhanced and your body felt much lighter than before. You easily ducked under the man's punch before uppercutting him straight in the throat. The amount of force you put behind the punch must have caused his throat to collapse cause the man fell to the ground, suddenly still. Another man grabbed ahold of your arm causing your attention to shift over to him. He tried to pull you towards his punch but you slid right past his fist. You then kicked him in the gut causing the grip he had on you to loosen before flipping him over onto his ass. He grumbled in pain, spitting up a bit of blood as the last of the three lackey's socked you in the face. You smirked through the punch, your bright neon green eyes turning to stare him down locking him in place. He shuddered once under your gaze unable to do anything as you jabbed two of your fingers into his eyes. He screeched in pain as you launch yourself onto his shoulders, using your surge of strength to snap his head towards you ending his life with little trouble. You slowly stood up turning to glare at the other three that have still yet to attack. The man in charge stared in shock, while the other two suddenly were holding small rusty knives. The man that you kicked started to slowly stand up only for you to plant your foot on his neck, without so much of a glance you pressed on his neck harder, a sickening snap quickly followed. Your eyes were still trained on the three in front of you, a sadistic smirk on your face.
