#could've done better maybe save them somehow. Thank God for Marco he's the only one able to keep Jean from drowning in his own guilt

Reverse AU with Jean & Marco in place of Hange & Moblit 🙇🏻. And Jean complains a lot and always looks grumpy, but he's always there for the new recruits in his own way <3. Meanwhile Marco is just vibing, looking at his friend all proud and fond and and-

Jean at least ONCE per day mentions that he's been in top 10 in his class and on his way to join the Military Police and no one believes him because he always sounds bitter about not joining MP and why wouldn't he join if he could? Until one day the recruits ask Marco and he confirms it as true. Is a shock for everyone.

"Why not join the Military Police then?" one of them ask and Marco doesn't rush to answer. A low hum follows the question, his gaze going towards the sky- it has been so long since they graduated, yet Marco always felt like it just happened yesterday.

"Is a loaded question. One that I won't be able to answer fully" he starts off with, a contemplating look on his face, "Jean is a good leader and a good person. Maybe Survey Corps isn't the place he wants to be, but is where he's needed the most. Is where he can make a change and he knows that"
