IN WHICH in a world where your life could end any second, Asta knew to not get attached to anything or anyone. He was content with fighting until he died. To do everything he could to help destroy them all and he promised he would. He was going to k...

Asta walked through the town, moving past tonnes of people as he did. Logs were strapped to his back and he was trying to make his way home. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw two people he knew. He barged past the people in his way, ignoring their offended faces and ran over to the two people. "Hey." He said happily.
"Hey Asta." Mikasa greeted.
"Hey." Eren was next.
Asta smiled at them brightly, tucking some of his blonde hair behind his ears. "Did you guys want to hang out after I take these logs home? I made up this new game we can play."
"Sure. That sounds great." Eren said.
Asta furrowed his eyebrows as he saw Eren's eyes looked a little red. "Are you okay? Have you been crying?" He looked over at Mikasa to see her with a blank expression, like if she let a little emotion on her face than he would figure it out what was wrong. He was pretty perceptive when it came to peoples emotions. Sometimes he would over step his boundaries when people didn't want to talk about it. He couldn't help it though. His mouth moved before his brain sometimes.
Just a bad dream, Eren thought but he didn't say it. He didn't want to seem weak, especially in front of Asta. "I've just been rubbing my eyes a lot. I haven't been crying." Eren waved his hand.
Asta pursed his lips. "Okay." He said simply. "You can tell me when you were crying another time." He shrugged.
The three began to walk again, standing close by each others sides so they didn't lose each other in the crowed and moved to go under a bridge, before they could make it all the way through, an older blonde man jumped in front of them. "Is somebody messing with you?"
"Hey, Mr. Hannes." Eren said, looking up at the tall man in a familiar uniform.
"Or did you just get on Mikasa's bad side." Hannes leaned in with a droopy smile, his words being slightly slurred and his breath stank with the stench of alcohol.
"No! What are you even talking about?!" Eren yelled, his cheeks turning red in embarrassment.
Asta leaned back, waving his hand in front of his nose to get the smell away. "You stink. You smell like you bathed in booze." He grimaced.
Hannes, along with his three friends sitting behind him all laughed, throwing their heads back and swaying drunkenly. "If only tears were cups of ale." One of the man said, taking another swig of his drink.
"Of course." Eren said, narrowing his eyes at the three drunk soldiers.
"You kids care for a swig?" Hannes questioned.
Asta looked at his two friends awkwardly. "Aren't you on watch?" He looked them up and down. They didn't look like they were in any state to be protecting anyone. He was pretty sure he could push Hannes over with just a finger the man was that boozed up.
