"Hey. Mikasa, wake Eren up, we have all the wood we need."
(Y/N) spoke as he was carrying some wood over. Mikasa nodded as she goes to Eren who gasped awake, she was looking down at him as he laid beneath a tree.
"—Huh? Mikasa?"
Eren whispered in a confused tone as he was looking at her.
(Y/N) walks on over, carrying the wood he had gathered on a backpack like carrier.

"Time to go Eren, we have all we need for home."
(Y/N) said, looking at Eren who looked over at him confused.
"(Y/N)?"
"What, is there something on my face?"
Now (Y/N) was confused as to why Eren was just staring at him.
"No... I was just in this weird dream... a really long dream. What was it exactly? I don't remember a thing."
"Eren, why are you crying?"
Mikasa asked as (Y/N) noticed it as well.

"Hey, you okay Little Bro? Think we'll have to get Dad to check up on you, you may be sick."
(Y/N) asked as he approached Eren and felt his forehead, but Eren slaps his hand away.
"I-I'm not sick! It was just a really weird dream is all!"
Eren complained as he gets up and puts on the same backpack like carrier that had wood on it as well, but a lesser amount than what Mikasa and (Y/N) had gathered.

"Let's just head on back."
Mikasa suggested as the two boys nodded and walked alongside each other away from the field and headed back home.

"Hey. Don't tell anyone about me crying."
Eren whispered to Mikasa and (Y/N) as they walked.
"We won't Eren. But it's as (Y/N) said earlier, Dad should check you out."
She whispered back to him.
"It's a promise I'll take to my grave, about you crying in your sleep."
(Y/N) whispered a bit nonchalantly as he was on Erens right side whilst Mikasa was on his left as they walked.

"What's this I hear you crying over, Eren?"
A voice of a man said as it gained the trio's attention.
"Mr. Hannes."
(Y/N) greets the man who was a garrison trooper with ODM gear.
"What, did Mikasa scold you or did (Y/N) knock some sense into you?"
He asked with a hand on his hip, he had a slight blush over his face as he leaned down to his height.
"Eh? What makes you think I'd cry over something like that?"
Eren reels back when he smelled the booze that reeked from his mouth even (Y/N) smelled it, but he wasn't too bothered by it.

"Are you drinking again Mr. Hannes, even on the job?"
(Y/N) questioned but knew the obvious.
"Yeah, why don't you go ahead and join us then?"
(Y/N) shook his head at this.
"Sorry, but I have some wood to get home, alongside these two here."
"And won't you even be able to fight when you need to?"
Eren asked him, since Hannes was drunk as he questioned him back in his drunken state,
"Oh? And when would that be?"

"Isn't that obvious? When they break into the walls and storm the entire city!"
Eren raised his voice slightly yelling at Hannes who rubbed his head.
"Ugh. Eren please, you gotta use your inside voice, don't start yelling all of a sudden."
Just then one of Hannes drinking buddies came over.
"You're real talkative, Dr. Yeagers son, and yet the older one is more quiet and polite, something we Garrisons can get along with!"
'I think I'll take that as a compliment.'
(Y/N) told himself as he continues listening in for a while before blocking out the noises around him.

He let his mind wander about aimlessly until he came back to reality and heard Eren.
"Even confined in these walls, we'll just keep eating, sleeping and living... but that would be as if we're all cattle."
'...Eren.'
(Y/N) thought to himself as he gazes at him worriedly before letting out an audible sigh and continues walking as Mikasa and Eren follow him.
