Not The One Who Dies ⇀ Attack on Titan *Original*

Part 30: The One-Winged Warrior

(OOO BIG, BIG THING COMING THIS CHAPTER I'VE BEEN PUTTING HINTS AND SUBTLE THINGS THROUGHOUT THE STORY AND ONLY ONE PERSON HAS KINDA GUESSED IT SO IM EXCITED :D)

Logan's eyes crinkled with laughter as he walked alongside his boyfriend, his smile not leaving his face as the other boy told him about the time that he, Mikasa, and Armin had gotten into a fight over bread.

"Hmm, They're lucky I wasn't there." Logan teased causing Eren to roll his eyes and wrap his arms around Logan's arm, the buzz of the city keeping the air from going silent. They passed by different shops and storefronts, Eren stopping and looking in every other one as he thought each was cooler than the last.

"Oh, look at this one! They sell guitars! Where'd yours go?" Eren asked Logan who shrugged, making a mental note to find it when they got home as he had been longing to play. A low hum of music played from inside of the shop, a small smile forming over Logan's face as he had an idea. He walked up to behind Eren and wrapped his arms around the boy's waist, tucking his head in the crook of the other boy's neck as he looked at his boyfriend through the reflection of the window.

"You wanna dance with me, Yeager?" Logan asked causing a confused smile to rise to Eren's face, his eyebrows furrowing at the idea. The shifter had no idea where it came from, but he wouldn't complain. Eren nodded as he leaned back into his boyfriend, allowing Logan to place a soft kiss on his neck before turning him around and placing his arms over his boyfriend's shoulders, interlocking his hands behind his neck.

"Where'd this come from?" Eren spoke, his voice coming off softer and more vulnerable it normally did. Logan smiled at the soft sound, happy to just have the boy in front of him, in his arms.

"My mom used to tell me that she and my dad used to dance every night to show their love to each other, and I wanna show you the love I have for you..." Logan said, his voice also coming out soft and sweet, very much so unlike the commanding voice he had while being a captain of the scouts. Eren leaned into his boyfriend and placed a kiss to his lips, pulling away and smiling, the moonlight illuminating the pinkish tint on his face.

"Where'd that come from?" Logan asked, mimicking his boyfriend's words from moments ago causing Eren to lightly laugh and roll his eyes.

"I wanted to show you the love I have for you too, babe," Eren said, the pet name flowing through his mouth as if it was a regular part of his vocabulary. Logan blushed at the word, the corner of his lips tilting upwards as he tried to hide his smile by looking down.

The two high ranking scouts swayed from side to side in the street, not exchanging any words as they were just happy to finally have their moment, their dance. In that moment, there weren't titans trying to kill them, no friends who turned out to be traders, they weren't monsters... They were just two boys, madly in love with each other.

"Alright... ya little monsters. Come at me!" Logan shouted with a grin on his face as one of the children from Historia's orphanage ran at him, throwing a punch at his leg. Logan feigned pain as he fell to the ground, gripping his leg tightly, looking up at the boy.

"Ugh, you got me good, kid... I guess I'll have to surrender then." Logan said, holding his hands up. The kid laughed as he jumped onto the captain's body, celebrating the win causing Logan to laugh, a low chuckle coming from his throat as he patted the boy on the head.
