So I saw a post on tumblr about Marco's mum with audio and felt so much about it I actually wrote a short (really short story about it) ((which is slightly different from what I posted in tumblr))

this is techinically my first ever fic and I've never uploaded anything before so if I get any formatting wrong I'm so sorry

(ps I'm on mobile now so I'll update again later when I have my com so I can add the link to the post)

italics is her thoughts by the way


*knock knock*

She hears the knocking on the door, and her heart beat quickens.

He's come home at last!

It's been ages since she last saw her beloved son, when he left to join the fight against the titans. She still remembers clearly the day he left, smiling as he left through the door, full of hope and dreams for the future.

She gets up from her chair and swiftly makes her way to the door. She rushes to unlock the door, and pushes it open, a wide smile on her face, ready to welcome him home.

"Marco-!"

But then-

She notices that the boy standing at the door is not her son.

It is his best friend.

Hand poised over his chest.

Tears running down his face.

His face down away from her, as if he's afraid to look her in the eyes.

And her smile drops, her heart shatters into a million pieces, because she knows exactly why he is here.

And suddenly, his last words flicker into her mind.

"I'll be back soon!"

She wails, knowing that she'll never see her beloved, freckled child ever again.
