Marco X Reader: Eternal Love

You slowly opened your eyes, only to quickly close them as you were blinded by a bright light. After a few seconds, you opened them again, and you looked up. The sky was a bright blue and there were no clouds. You gently sat up, and looked at your surroundings. A huge sparkling lake was in front of you, and you were currently sitting on soft green grass.

This is a dream, you thought to yourself. How could you tell? Well, it looked like you were somewhere beyond the walls, and there were no Titans in sight. Also, you just came back from the expedition. So why would you wake in a place like that otherwise?

You slowly got up, curious to explore this place before you come back to reality. You noticed you weren’t wearing your uniform or casual outfit and there were no wounds on yourself. You were completely healed.

Suddenly, a gondole appeared on the lake in front of you.

“Are you ready?”

You jumped as your heard the sudden deep voice. There was a man on the boat with a row in his hand, and he was wearing nothing but a pair of white trousers.

You gave him a confused look. “Ready for what?” you asked.

He chuckled. “For discovering this place. Aren’t you curious?”

It was like he just read your mind. You hesitated on responding. You wanted to know more, why were you dreaming about this. But you thought accepting this offer from a total stranger could be risky. You sighed as you finally made your choice.

“I am,” you replied. And with that, the shirtless man took your hand, and placed you gently on the gondole. He then started to row away.

You decided to look at your reflection in the lake. Suddenly, you began to have many flashbacks of your life so far.

You cried as you remembered the big Colossal Titan destroying the Wall Maria. You had lost everything on that day, your family, friends, everything that once belonged to you were gone. You then had decided from that day to join the Survey Corps, in order to have your revenge and kill every single Titan on your way.

You then smiled as you remembered your first time meeting with the person who would later on become the most important individual in your life, Marco Bott.

You loved everything about him. From his adorable freckled face to his incredibly kind and optimistic personnality. After being close friends for a while, you had started having deep feelings for him. You were so scared to confess to him. But you remembered the huge relief and happiness when you had found out he felt the same way as he confessed to you first. You were the cutest and happiest couple in the Trainees Squad.

He would always make you feel better and loved, whispering nothing but sweet words that probaly never made sense, embracing you in his strong warm arms to make you feel safe, wiping away the tears with light kisses whenever you feel stressed out or when nightmares or bad memories hunt you at night or daytime, making jokes which you were the only one who could understand and laugh, having conversations with you that would either be interesting or just plain hilarious and stupid, like talking mostly about his friend Jean, and many other sweet things he had done for you.

Unfortunately, Marco didn’t live for long.

You cried again but harder as you remembered the day he past away. It had all happened too fast. One moment, you told each other “Good luck,” before you both parted ways and attacked the Titans who were on your path, and next, you saw your boyfriend’s body half eaten. You sobbed everyday and night. You were nothing without him.

“So I see you’re remembering everything about your life, huh?”

A surprised and confused look was plastered on your face. What did he mean by that? And how did he know?

You didn’t say anything. You just nodded awkwardly.

Suddenly, the boat stopped. You raised an eyebrow, wondering why did it stop. As you got up, your eyes widened as you saw a familiar figure standing in front of you with a bright smile.

Once you got out of the gondole, it disappeared in one second. You then turned around, and you couldn’t stop keeping your gaze on him.

“Marco!” you cried.

You immediately jumped in his arms, tears overflowing. You couldn’t remember when was the last he visited you in your dreams.

He lightly chuckled as he hugged you back. You buried your face in his chest while he gently caressed your (colour) hair with his fingers. He broke the hug but still kept his arms around your waist. He stared at you with his light brown eyes, before he slowly leaned in and pressed his lips against yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck as you kissed him back. Although this wasn’t the first time you kissed, you had never felt like this before. His lips felt cold, but alive at the same time. As he pulled you closer, he kissed you harder, expressing his eternal love for you. He still loves you even after he died, and he will never stop.

After kissing for what seemed like an eternity, you both finally pulled back, and gazed at each other’s eyes with love.

Suddenly, it hit you. This wasn’t a dream. And this only meant one thing.

“Welcome to heaven.”
