A/N: My first Attack on Titan fanfic. It is after meeting the Female Titan for the first time, because why not. This is a little quicky that I came up with when I was talking to Anime Weirdo 0_o on the phone (check her out btw). Forgive any grammar or general mistakes, it was a fast one. Now presenting...
Marco's Birthday
For the Survey Corps it was a surprisingly quiet day. Hanji wasn't conducting any experiments, Levi wasn't cleaning that day, and Erwin spent the day in his office doing paperwork.
The soldiers at the moment weren't doing any training exercises or scouting. Some soldiers were sleeping in their barracks and other's were at the mess hall eating what food they could get for the afternoon.
But for a certain group, they weren't sleeping or eating but hanging outside in the yard.
Sitting in a circle, they were conversing among themselves enjoying the simple time to talk when Connie brought up, "Hey, just curious but, when's Marco's birthday?" Everyone turned to him as his question was brought with dead silence. "I mean- so- y'know- we could honor him as a soldier and as a friend. Maybe even make a grave, or something..." he trailed off.
"Now that I'm thinking about it," Eren joined in, "when is Marco's birthday? I never asked before."
"Me either," Armin said. Mikasa just shrugged and Sasha was just eating meat she stole.
Everyone who's there: Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Connie, Jean, Sasha, Ymir, Krista, and Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie just for the fun of it. And because I can, I mean I'm the writer.
Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie slightly froze at the mention of the died soldier's, but concealed it well. Well except for Bertholdt because he's not okay.
"Isn't it somewhere around his death or, something," Ymir said sarcastically, and Krista responded, "Don't be mean Ymir, it's serious!"
"All of you guys are idiots," Jean spoke up, still relaxing on the ground, with his eyes shut.
"And do you know horse-face?!" Eren shot at him.
"Yeah, actually I do, Titan boy. Marco's birthday was June 16th," Jean replied back.
Everyone nodded but then Armin had a pained look on his face. "Armin, are you okay?" Mikasa asked.
"I just realized, Jean didn't you find Marco bitten in half?"
"Yeah, why?"
"June 16th, is the middle of the year. Technically, it's half way through the year and..."
Bertholdt finished, "Half of his body was left."
"You've gotta be kidding me. Screw you!" Jean screamed, to no one in particular.
After this discovery, everyone stayed away from things that involved one half of something. And they remembered the memory of half of the man Marco was. Especially since his birthday was half way through the year.
But technically he isn't half the man he was since he's cremated. So he's dust now.
With Marco in Heaven
"Why does everyone keep making these half jokes?!"
A/N: Chill with the Marco jokes! Freckled Jesus deserves better.
