Attack on Titan x Reader fanfiction

Chapter 1

I woke up rubbing my eyes and rolled over to turn off my alarm, another day at school, still at least I would be able to see my friends and I had survived another day, we could've died at any minute and I'm going to school, obviously. I have lots of friends at school but my 3 best friends are Sasha, Marco and Jean. Sasha's funny, mad, kind and obsessed with food I have known her since I was 2 and we have always been best friends (I'm sure we always will be), Jean is just like most people really, not in a bad way but just average characteristics, silly, and fun to be around he also gets on with the "cool kids" like Annie, Reiner and Berholdt, Marco is very kind and will always above and beyond to make someone happy, that's about it apart from me, I'm (name).

I got up sleepily and heard my mum shouting up "come on (name) you're gonna be late! Hurry up!" she shouted and walked off muttering to herself and I rolled my eyes, parents, I nearly forgot to reply though after a couple minutes of silence I realised I needed to reply "I know, I know!" I looked at my clock again and realised the actual time "are you kidding me?!" I thought to myself, racing round my room getting my school books from under my bed, down the side of my wardrobe- as you can tell I'm not a very tidy person! I threw my school uniform on, pulled on my trainers and slung my rucksack over my shoulder before legging it downstairs and picking up a piece of toast "sorry mum, gotta go!" and ran out the door to school. Probably an average morning for me! I try not to get too attached to the life I live today for I know that despite us being safe for 100 years that does not mean the walls won't be breached today or ever, it's hard but I try not to cling to my calm lifestyle.

I got to the school just as the bell went by this time I was breathing heavily and my feet were aching, I skidded to a halt outside my first lesson and without thinking I ran straight into the classroom and the door slammed against the wall with all eyes in the room turning from the teacher to me. I tried to speak but all that came put was "I-a ummm I-err so-" it really didn't work, I was so embarrassed I could feel my cheeks going bright red and I felt so horrible. Thankfully to stop my embarrassment the teacher said sternly "just go to your seat (name) and if this happens again you will be staying after school with me in detention" I still couldn't speak so instead I just nodded my head at him and took the walk of shame to my seat behind Marco and next to Jean, Sasha sat quite far away, this was a permanent thing, for otherwise we would be chatting all the way through the lessons everyone knows that, even the teachers. Marco turned round and said "hey (name) you okay?" I gave him a gentle smile and nodded he turned back round to face the front, the lesson was a 2-hour-period of Geography great fun! Not! Although tomorrow was valentine's day I was really thrilled! I had nothing for anyone else but I always got excited I didn't get something every year but the odd year I would get one and it had been a lot of years since I last got one and yes it's a long shot but I can always hope!

At lunch I sat in the cafeteria with Sasha next to me, Marco opposite me and on my other side was Jean, but also sat on the table was Connie, he gets along really well with Sasha- I have a feeling there may be some chemistry there. Sasha's coming round for tea tonight too I'm so excited! We are probably just gonna have a massive conversation about boys, should be fun! We finished our lunch and headed out onto the "playground/yard" it gets given different names. As we arrived at our usual spot Marco tapped my shoulder he looked slightly pale he gulped and said "Can I talk to you a minute?" I smiled at him and said "Yeah, sure" I looked back and mouthed to Sasha and Jean "See you later" they nodded and I followed Marco who was now looking extremely worried and sheepish, he kept wiping his hands on his trousers. Whatever was wrong it was making him very nervous, I grabbed his hand which he looked, at that moment, right into my eyes and I melted- he was a great friend and he was also in my opinion really cute. He had deep hazel brown eyes, short black hair and freckles I had always thought he looked handsome.

He sharply looked away and kept shifting his eyes I kept my hand on his and found his eyes, he started talking but sharply stopped "(name)…I ummm…" he looked away again I found his face and said "Hey, what's wrong you know you can tell me" I noticed Jean looking over and looked rather smug I glared at him and he soon looked away, I turned back to Marco and he started to speak just as the bell went off. We got split apart with the crowd of people and I got into the last lesson of the day and saw him come in and take his seat in front of me. I passed him a note so it was more private but we were careful and didn't get caught, I first put "Hey Marco, what was up earlier? You know you can tell me :) xx" he read it and quickly wrote a reply "nothing, I'm fine, thanks though (name) x" I then put "okay x" we then endured a painfully boring lesson, English (yay) at the end of the day, I walked home with Sasha and as soon as we were away from everyone else, she straight away started asking about what happened at lunch.

"What was going on with you and Marco at lunch?"

"I don't know he looked really nervous and then when I asked what was wrong, in English, he insisted that there was nothing wrong!"

"Maybe he has a crush on you!" she jokingly said.

"No! Marco? I mean he's nice and kind but do you really think so?"

"It's possible!" I took the thought into account and then replied "well we'll find out tomorrow!"

"Oh yeah! You got anyone anything?"

"Nah, I don't really like anyone in that way"

"Mm hhmm..." she said quietly.

"Oh, you think otherwise?"

"Yeah it's obvious you and Marco have something going on!"

"Oh yeah? Well what about you and Connie?" I said before realising what I said, but I was actually considering the thought because she want bright red and started stuttering.

"N-no!" I laughed and reached my house "Come on, let's go inside!" she went back to normal soon and as I guessed we spent time playing would you rather and talking about boys, it went by too fast! She still has her suspicions about me and Marco but I have suspicions about her and Connie it's just what happens! But I was so giddy for the next day all I was thinking was of whether I actually did have an admirer or not… I was buzzing and couldn't sleep neither could Sasha, we were up all night texting each other about the next day and when it finally came me and Sasha both got admirers.
