World: Shingeki no Kyoujin

Character/s: Marco, Jean

Inspired by a comic on tumblr.


"Are you done yet?" Jean called from outside the door.

A muffled, "Yes, I'm coming out now!" responded.

The door opened, and Marco stepped out.

Jean's heart thumped hard, once, then stopped.

Marco, a beaming smile on his face, faltered at Jean's silence. "Jean?" he asked, stepping closer.

Marco's costume was good. Great, actually. Because one side of his face was missing and it looked scarily realistic, but his chest was hurting and Jean didn't know why he could feel hot liquid trailing down his cheeks.

Marco worriedly stepped closer, not saying anything as he wrapped his arms around him.
