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

Part 39: A New World

Logan sat in his room, the lights all off and the house silent as he waited for his daily reason to get up from bed. The boy had secluded himself from almost everyone after what he had walked into. Sasha, Jean and Connie had come to see him almost daily since that day a month ago. He'd have a short conversation with them, Sasha would give him some food she made for Cloud and him and then they'd leave.

Levi tried to visit but it just ended in a fight, plus Levi hated being in that house. After all the memories he'd had in it.

But that was it, Logan was truly alone except for one thing, and he knew the thing was coming by the footsteps rushing towards his door. Logan had a tired, small smile fall onto his face at the sound. Logan's door flew open, a small, excited to see the ten year old.

"LOGANNNN! DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS?" Cloud shouted, rushing towards the boys bed, jumping onto it and landing with a thump. Logan laughed as he nodded, patting the boy on the back as he laid on the bed.

"Sure do, Kiddo! The day before your birthday, are you excited?" Logan asked, rubbing the boys back as Cloud hugged the sitting man. Cloud nodded vigorously, excitably looking at the boy.

"Okay, we're going on an adventure today!" Logan exclaimed, faking excitement for the boy. Even though it'd been months, even his super healing seemingly couldn't make the pain from seeing Eren in that position go away.

"We are?! Will we get to see Uncle Jean, Uncle Connie and Aunt Sasha?" Cloud excitably asked causing Logan to lightly smile, nodding. Cloud woo'd before he ran from the room, getting ready for the trip.

Logan made his way into his bathroom, pulling his shirt off of his body revealing his scared, toned chest. His eyes fell as he saw it, his tattoos covered up his right arm but his chest? That was covered by scars. Coughs erupted from his body as he jolted with each one. He covered his mouth as more blood began to come from it. He sighed as he quickly washed off his hands.

The boy quickly cleaned himself, before getting dressed in his military clothes. He sighed as he made his way from his room, walking over to his sons room. He found cloud sitting on his bed, already dressed, reading a book.

"You ready kiddo?" Logan asked, leaning on the doorframe. Clouds head snapped up, looking at the man before he nodded, a large smile on his face. Cloud followed Logan out of the house, making sure to close all the doors like Logan had taught him. On his way out, Logan took the old hat off of the hook by the door. Arthur had left multiple of his hats behind and Logan liked wearing it. They made him feel like Arthur was still there, even just a little bit.

"Alright, come on... do you wanna ride on Stark? I'm sure we could get a wagon if we wanted." Logan asked causing Cloud to think for a second before he ran over to the horse that was in his little stall that Logan had built him.

"Why'd I ask? I knew the answer..." Logan muttered to himself, a small smile on his face.

Logan climbed ontop of the horse, patting him on his neck as he did. He quickly picked up Cloud and placed him in front of him, keeping his arms around him before he grasped the reigns and they took off.

Logan smiled as Cloud screamed as he made Stark speed up, arriving at the beach camp. Logan quickly hitched the horse by a tree, leaving him some food to eat while he had his meeting with the new person.

"Alright, come on then... Let's go see if we can't find your uncle's and aunt." Logan said, reaching up and taking Cloud from Stark. Logan set him down, the second his feet hit the floor he took off, running towards the camp. Logan chuckled as he shook his head.
