Holding a contest! : Hi there everyone! If you've made it this far cool! I have a bit of a question because I kind of stumped myself lolz. Reiner was not originally suppose to be a love interest and he still kind of isn't, but I could go down that path xD So, I had originally had Elliot hook up with Marco because well, we all know he passes away, but then this whole Reiner thing came in It was my inner fangirl going all Reiner crazy because I adore him and Levi xD Anyways, I was wondering if I should have Reiner as a love interest and then have him as a love rival for Levi later on as well (keep in mind Elliot only sees him as a friend, so she will eventually turn him down)? I could also have Elliot actually give Reiner a chance and date him, but have it set up so later when Levi comes in she begins noticing him (that makes Elliot seems like a total bitch though, man jumping and all xD). OR I could just have Reiner be gay for Bertolt and have Marco completely misreading the situation? So, that's it, now as for the contest whoever tells me what they think first and gives a few ideas that are half decent, well, they will recieve a one-shot! The one-shot will be whatever they want (so long as I know what it is) and will be about 2000 words! If I happen to figure this out on my own then I'll just give the one-shot to the first person that gives me a decent review :3 I'll update this when a winner is chosen~
"Elliot starred over at Marco for a while, when they got out of this hell hole she was going to have to talk with him. They were going to have to get things settled after all, it wasn't as if they could just go on and ignore each other, if the relationship was over then so be it, but she really hoped that wasn't the case. She was pulled out of her thoughts though when she felt a slight pain in her shoulder...it hurt...a lot. She raised a hand to gently touch it but, soon found her hand being pushed away, a large hand gently tugged on her jacket sleeve, pulling the thing down until it revealed her shoulder covered only with a simple white t-shirt covered in her sweat. "I thought so, you dislocated your shoulder back there," Reiner spoke before pushing her further against the wall, one hand against her shoulder and the other gently gripping her arm. She took in a sharp breath trying to ignore the slight pain from his hands touching her wounded shoulder. She may not have realized it either but, Marco was watching them with concerned eyes...if only she had noticed. "This is going to hurt," Reiner said watching as she nodded her head and quickly braced herself for the pain. She bit back on her lower lip, trying hard to not make much noise as he popped the shoulder back into place. A sigh of relief escaping her lips when she felt his hands pull away from her, 'god, I hate titans,' she thought to herself as Reiner instructed her to move her arm for him. She did as told moving in slow circles as he inspected his handiwork. She winced in a bit of pain but, outside of that it didn't hurt as much anymore. "Thanks Reiner," she said softly smiling lightly at the taller male, her smile only growing when she felt his hand settle on top of her head. "I'm surprised you didn't cry out there or something girly," he said laughing a bit, laugh only growing when he saw the pouty face she shot up at him.
It wasn't long after that everyone found themselves in another room she currently sat in front of Armin listening to him as he spoke a bit about his plan. He wasn't speaking in too much detail yet, but from what she understood she was going to be put into that tiny elevator like crate and lowered down being used as bait. She shuddered a bit at the thought eyes focusing on the few people she knew were going to be hiding up in ceilings. No one had been assigned positions yet, but it was clear as day who would be taking on the Titans. It was going to be the best among them and that defiantly was not her, they had most of the top of the 104th training squad here and even though she had been in top herself she was ranked number ten. She was pulled from her thoughts when Jean entered into the room with a few others, they had found some guns courtesy of the Military Police they had said. She glanced over noticing Marco and Reiner had come over to her side, Marco avoided her gaze and Reiner was too focused on listening to the others around him to even notice her gaze. Shortly after everyone started to gather around Armin, Elliot found Marco and Reiner at each of her sides but, she silently looked over at Sasha mouthing the word help. Right now, she would much rather face 20 titans then sit between the two men who seemed to be glaring at each other every second that they could. Sasha only smiled at her resisting a laughing fit, at least until Armin started to speak. He began to speak about the plan and it sounded great, but Elliot could not stop the shaking in her hands...she was afraid and listening to Armin speak about having someone talk him out of it...that did not help her nervous feeling at all. "It's a sound plan," she heard Reiner speak from beside her his gruff voice unmistakable. Annie was the next to speak stating that it seemed everyone would have the same amount of risk. It wasn't long before everyone stood up getting ready to go through with the plan, but Elliot couldn't seem to get her feet to move. She noticed someone squat in front of her, but she didn't pay them much mind. "I can't seem to get my legs moving...funny huh?" she said forcing out a fake laugh, but she quickly stopped her own laugh when a large hand wrapped over her own successfully stopping her shaking. She looked up red eyes full of surprise as she took in Reiner's stern face. 'Why is he always the one comforting me now...damn it Marco!' she thought to herself, tears threatening to spill from her eyes.
"I've watched your back this whole mission, do you think I'll let you down here?" he asked watching as the little white haired girl sucked in her lower lip to nibble on it, eyes watered over, she shook her head, white locks smacking against her face. He smiled at her, smile only growing when he felt her hand tighten around his own, a look of determination crossing her face. "You're right, this is just like the other titans! I'll be your distraction and you take the ugly shit down!" she more or less yelled out a few eyes glanced over toward her watching for a moment as Reiner pulled her to her feet. "That's the spirit Eli! We got this!" Sasha called out before hoping onto her best friends back. She hardly noticed the strange looks she got from a few people, but she defiantly heard the whispers that came soon after. "Marco, what's up with you and Elliot recently? She's been sticking with Reiner like they were glued together or something," Jean spoke, a few people over heard but, it was obvious he was trying to keep the conversation quiet. Elliot tried her hardest straining her hearing to try and catch the conversation between the two boys, but it was a rather difficult task. "Sorry Jean, but we don't have time to discuss what's going on with Elliot and I, or who she chooses to flirt around with," came Marco's response and almost immediately he regretted his words the moment he saw the look that crossed over Elliot's face, it was something between pain and anger and embarrassment. 'So, she was listening...I'm such a dumbass,' he thought to himself, but still he could not bring himself to take back his words instead he turned his head away from her, shame splashed across his face. Elliot smiled at Sasha swallowing down the lump in her throat before nodding in agreement. "Alright let's go potato girl we should start heading down with the others," Reiner spoke releasing Elliot, Sasha did the same but, lightly punched her friend in the arm before leaving. Elliot watched them go smiling a bit, 'my friends they have strong backs just like my brother...I wonder if anyone ever looks at my back and thinks the same' she thought to herself before entering onto the elevator. She clutched the gun close to her chest, taking in deep breaths as she tried to calm her nerves, despite what her friends had said she was still afraid. As they were lowered into the room Elliot found herself unconsciously searching for Reiner...if she could just see him maybe she'd feel safer. It took her a moment to realize just how much she was beginning to rely on Reiner, she found herself once more cursing Marco, despite the Titan that starred her down. A few seconds later and she was given the order to fire which she wasted no time in doing, pulling the trigger almost as soon as she heard the booming voice from next to her.
In the next moment her comrades dropped from the ceiling striking killing blows against the titans, one by one the giant ugly creatures fell, it seemed like everything was going to go perfectly, but then one Titan didn't fall. It turned its ugly head toward Connie and Sasha, Elliot felt her blood run cold...her best friend was currently starring down an angry Titan. Elliot watched with wide eyes as the Titan slowly approached Sasha in particular and in the next second she found herself calling for Reiner or anyone to save her. As the Titan made a grab for Sasha and fell over Elliot literally jumped from the Elevator hoping to save her in some kind of way, Marco tried to grab her in an attempt to stop her, but he failed. He looked down thankful for the first time that Reiner was keeping an eye on the small girl, the blond male having wasted no time to quickly catch and grab hold of the white haired female holding her back by her waist as Mikasa and Annie quickly flew in to finish the job. He felt the girl go limp in his arms when her friend was safe and slowly released her when she asked. She ran over toward Sasha the moment her feet hit the ground throwing her arms around the brown haired female as soon as she finished thanking Mikasa for saving her life. Elliot clung to her, beyond happy to have her friends life saved, she didn't pay attention to how Reiner went to speak with Annie and Bertolt or how Marco more or less fainted up in the elevator. No, her friend's life was far more important to her than her complicated love life. The titans were dead, all that was left was to refill their gas and go back over the wall, she shouted in delight with the rest of them before moving to quickly restore her gas with Sasha and Connie. She took notice to how Marco went to sit over and talk with Jean...he still wasn't paying much attention to her. She needed to fix that, they had a bit of down time right now and though this might now be the best time to have a talk like this, she wanted to get this off her chest before she was thrown back outside with the titans again. Who knew what they might have to face out there? She slowly walked over toward the two boys stopping in front of them and quietly asking Jean if she could give them some space. He nodded his head in response before getting up to move away, he watched from a distance unaware of how a few others also bracelet.
"What's...what is going on with you Marco?" she asked, hand moving to run over her leather bracelet once more as she nervously starred at the ground. "What's going on with me? Do you really need to ask that question? That is what's going on with me," he said pointing toward Reiner whom was one of the few starring at them, Marco kept his voice low, trying to keep the conversation private, but that didn't go over all too well the moment he pointed toward Reiner. "How is Reiner a problem?! He's done nothing but save my ass and support me through this shitastic time!" she yelled voice louder than she expected it be, but anger had washed over her mixing with adrenaline. "Really because from where I stood it looked more like you've been flirting with each-," he stopped short, sentence interrupted when a violent slap hit his right cheek and echoed through the hall. Elliot had just slapped him, tears in her eyes and opposite fist clenched at her side. "You think me being a good friend was flirting?! You wanna see flirting? I'll fucking show you flirting," she said before turning on her heel and stomping toward Reiner, adrenaline rushing in her veins, she was hardly aware of how she had drawn quite a bit of attention toward herself. "Reiner your muscles have done nothing but turn me on and distract me since the start of this mission. You also have a ridiculously nice ass like seriously it's not even fair," she more or less yelled toward the man, hardly thinking about the words she was saying or what kind of effect they would have. Reiner turned quite a pretty shade of red at her confession and Elliot was barely aware of how Bertolt scoffed from beside him, she was however, aware of Sasha's loud laughter a second later. "Shut up Sasha!" she growled out toward her friend, glaring over at her, but Sasha only laughed harder upon seeing her friends bright red face, adrenaline and anger beginning to subside Elliot soon realized what she had done.
