*Shiganshina District*
It was a nice sunny day in Shiganshina. Specifically at the Kirigaya's as the lazy son would not wake up.
"Kazuto wake up" Yukito said to him loudly
"Mom is making pancakes" hopefully that will wake him up for school
He woke up and got out of bed and got ready for school and rushed down hoping to have some nice warm pancakes before school furrowing his eyebrows,
"Mom, where are the pancakes at?" said a ten-year-old Kazuto
Aoi his mother laughed at him and her husband "That was something your father made up to get you up, Kirito."
"Hey only Sugha's allowed to call me that!" he pouted but laughed along with his mother
She called him Kirito when she was a year old she couldn't pronounce his name properly thus the nickname. Too bad they couldn't see each other as often as she lived near Wall Rose but they had a good relationship.
*at school*
Kazuto arrived at school with his best friend Eugeo.
It was top of the morning as it was a Monday a special guest was arriving to talk about his job.
"Hey Eugeo look it's your future wife" Kazuto teased him
"Shhshshhsshs, Kaz she might hear you," Eugeo whisper shouted at him.
Alice was coming this way fast and he was panicking. He tried to get advice from Kazuto but he was a ghost nowhere to be found.
"Hey" Alice said
"H-h-hi" he responded
"So I heard that you may or may not like me" Alice said shly
"Who told you t-that?" Eugeo stutterd
"Nev-nevermind" as she ran away for class because the bell rang.
It was now lunchtime and Kazuto was sitting with Eugeo, Alice, Selka.
"Hey guys, what did you guys think of the special guests?"
Kazuto thought back
"Ok class we will have 3 representatives from the military joining us to talk about their careers, Please do not hesitate to raise your hand if you have a question." The teacher said,
I hate career day thought the students since last week they learned about the markets and it was boring for them.
The teacher spoke, "First we have Eugene talking about his experience in The Military Police."
"He definitely dyed his hair no way red is his natural hair color" he whispered to Eugeo who snickered in response. The teacher looked their way unamused they both sat up straight, paying attention.
Eugene went on "During my tenure within the Military Police…"
The dude's speech was so generic. Kazuto could have fallen asleep but was scared of the teacher and she could tell his mom which would be a disaster for him and would take away all his precious manga collection and other books he wouldn't want his mom seeing (no its not p*rn u dirty fucks).
"Next up is Kikuoka Seijirou, a soldier who is enlisted in the Garrison Regiment." The teacher said
His speech was almost the same as Eugene.
"Next up we have for the Scouts is…Kayaba Akihiko."
He stood up the moment he stood up. It's like the whole class noticed his dominating presence.
"Afternoon all, I am Sergeant Akihiko but you already knew that. I am here to tell you about the scouts. Now we aren't the most popular regiment due to our casualty rate being so high." A student raised his hand and Kayaba motioned at him to speak.
"Why is the casualty rate so high?" He looked to the teacher to see if he should the teacher sighed they should've paid attention last week She nodded telling him to go on
"Titans" He said and you could feel the tension in the air.
"Why do you fight against them even though you know what they're capable of?" A student blurted out. The teacher was about to interject but Kayaba raised a hand to stop him.
"Tell me child, are you content living in a birdcage?" and the room went silent, Kazuto had to stop himself from laughing.
"We risk our lives everyday so one day humanity can be free and set out to expand without living in fear of the titans. I find this life boring and want to explore the rest of the world and who knows one day we might successfully eradicate the titans and be free, I have seen many of my comrades die in front of me. Each of them have different goals and dreams like research, eradication of titans or exploration. I am tired of living my life as a flightless bird." Kayaba finished his speech and left the center.
"Ok class it's time for lunch" the teacher says nervously with a look of disapproval
"I liked Kayaba's speech the most" Kazuto said.
Something about it just hit him in the heart.
"Looks like you have a deathwish Kirigaya" one of the students who overheard him said mockingly.
He just ignored him.
"What about you?" He turned to Eugeo
"Err, I don't plan to join the military, I just wanna live a happy life." He responded
"Regardless of what you do Eugeo you're still gonna be my best friend"
They chatted for a bit before heading to class.
Meanwhile two men were talking to each other in the staff lounge.
"Kayaba I think you scared the children.."
"Kikuoka, They needed this, they're well over the age."
"Yeah but that doesn't mean you fuckin scare them..?"
"Yeah ok, ok" Kayaba said unconvincingly
Maybe it worked. As he recalled a student with black orbs staring at him intently as he was saying his speech.
It was sunset and Eugeo, Alice and Kazuto were talking.
Eugeo was looking at the sunset. "I wonder what it's like outside" he blurted out
"It would be nice to watch the sunset right from there, Eugeo?" asked Alice as she pointed at the top of the wall.
"Yeah.." Said eugeo
Watching the sunset with her on the wall.. He was now a blushing mess
"Eugeo?" Asked alice who was also now a little red after realizing what she just said
Kazuto just sighed he felt like a third wheel so he left and was gonna get a book from his house
Eugeo decided he would confess to Alice.
"A-alice remember at school earlier…?"
"Yeah?"
"When you asked if I liked you?"
"Yeah.." she was now blushing
"Do you like me?" she quickly asked
"Only if you like me" he responded
Okay what the hell Eug great going as he had a convo in his brain
"W-what if I-i-i do?" she said blushing
"Y-you do?"
A big thump was heard Kazuto looked with wide-eyes
Does Kazuto secretly like her? If so, he would say the opposite to save their friendship and would make something up.
He looked away, Alice is gonna hate me after this he took a deep breath
"A-actually I was just joking get pranked"
He was expecting a slap from Alice Instead he got a kick from Kazuto, Alice was crying he expected Kaz to comfort her, but he went straight to him
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?!" Kaz whisper shouted at him
"I-im sorry..I-i didn't know you liked her.."
Ok now Kazuto was confused "What, I don't like her."
Now it was eugeo's turn to be confused.
"I only reacted like that because I was waiting forever for you guys to confess and was surprised you did first" Kazuto said
Eugeo saw Alice in tears Kazuto nudged him to comfort him and they made up
Then there was lightning and the earth shook
"WHAT THE HELL" Someone yelled
They all rushed up to the front and what they saw was a bald head peeking over the wall. The so-called wall that was invincible and Kazuto was frozen in fear at what he saw. Suddenly air was felt rushing against them as the wall was broken and the bald titan disappeared. The first titan came and went to work screaming was heard everywhere Eugeo and Alice, Kazuto went for their parents.
Kazuto turned and he saw his house except it was crushed with a boulder on it luckily his mother was unscathed
"MOM WHERE'S DAD!?" He yelled
"He went to help the neighbors, seeing as I was fine, let's go." She said
It was a bloodbath screaming could be heard everywhere
Kazuto and his mom were running and dodging boulders at the same time
Kazuto stopped because he was out of breath and his mom noticed and pushed him because a big giant shadow was looming over him ready to grab him but instead of him his mom switched positions.
Mom no... He tried to grab her but failed. Now he just could only watch his mom just kept screaming at him to run. Luckily a soldier picked him up and he could only watch the horror unfold.
"OKASAAAAAAAN" Kazuto screamed at the top of his lungs. (pain)
He was now on the boat all alone and in tears.
He was in tears..
