(Eren's POV)
Who the fuck is he?
I didn't like Edward in the beginning. I hated how Elric has been nominated to be in the Corp without going through the years at the training with the 104th cadet trainees.
Has proven himself worthy, my ass!
He was even shorter then the corporal and he didn't seem to be any buffer of stronger than the rest of us. Then how did he manage to slither his way here?
He is nothing but a short undertrained bastard.
I had to admit that I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him specifically. But orders were orders, so I took my piece of bread and followed them out the hall.
I followed them at a safe distance. I couldn't hear them very well, but I heard that short bastard and Captain Levi whisper things to each other and it made my blood boil.
When we got to the training ground, the Captain asked all of us to sit down except for Edward who stood behind him.
"Now, I'm going to get straight to the point. What you are about to witness here is classified and it will be considered treason if you share this information with anybody outside the rest of Scouts, got it, as for you Erwin and Shitty glasses, just know that this could throw the whole military in disarray so do what you want but I would avoid spreading this." said Captain Levi, the same serious look on his features.
Whatever. I still don't see what's so special about him.
I looked away and just munched on my bread. Then I felt the Corporal's eyes on me. I looked up at him and saw a look of irritation on his face. He seemed to be telling me: fucking look at Edward or I will beat the shit out of you. I rolled my eyes and swallowed hard then stared at the asshole I was beginning to hate even more.
Then Elric breathed in deeply clapped his hands and I could have sworn I saw blue lightning around his hands, then he clapped his palms to the ground and the ground around him shot up to the sky, until it was a 10 meter pillar of dirt.
My jaw dropped, and I finally understood why Levi wanted him so badly in the regiment. He was special like me, different.
The blond came back down, and Levi nodded at him, then handed him a 3DMG blade. The short gold eyed boy clapped again, pressed his hands on the blade, blue lightning coursing from his arms to the metal then it transformed into 2 canon harpoons. He then gave them to Hange who began to look at them with the usual excitement in her eyes.
Then he clapped again put both hands on the ground, got up slowly, pulling a spear from the ground. He then threw it at me, I caught it and looked at the head. It was a light but strong metal and it was carved with intricate designs and characters that I couldn't read.
"What does this say?" I said pointing at the spearhead.
"It's my military name, Fullmetal Alchemist."
Levi suddenly looked at him with cold eyes, Edward nodded and I immediately hated him again. He then explained what Alchemy was and about Winry's skills in mechanics and technology which made Hange crawl closer to the blonde girl who smiled kindly.
"Eren Yeager." called the Corporal.
"Yes sir!" I said enthusiastically, hiding my annoyance.
"You will be moved out of the dungeon and you will be sharing a room with Cadet Elric. He will act as your guard when I'm not around, got it?"
"Yes sir!" I exclaimed.
"Good. Now shitty glasses, I hope you're okay sharing your big room with Ms Rockbell."
"Yes shorty! I mean Levi! Come now, Ms Rockbell! We have a lot to talk about!"
"Of course! I can't wait! And please, call me Winry." she replied.
"Aww... I love you already!" said Hange hugging the girl's head as they walk back inside.
"Cadet Yeager, Elric will bring you to your new room, he already knows the layout so don't worry. I will come check up on you so make sure the room is clean."
"Yes sir!"
Captain Levi then whispered something in Edward's ear then looked at him.
"Okay, Levi, besides I'm sure he's trustworthy!" he said.
Who do you think you are... you traitorous piece of shit...
He then ran back to building and yelled:
"Hey Eren! You coming!"
I wasn't going to let him arrive without me so I ran to catch up with him.

We busted through the bedroom door, panting and chest heaving. We collapsed on the ground and we began to laugh uncontrollably. As much as I didn't like this guy, he seriously knew how to race. It's better then constantly winning against Jean or Mikasa refusing to race at all. We got up and laid down on our beds. When I finally caught my breath, I looked at Elric and I saw him raising his gloved right hand above his head and he was turning his hand and observing the movement.
"Are you okay?" I asked with an ounce concern in my voice.
"Look Eren, based on what Levi told me about you, I trust you, so if I show something will you promise not to freak out."
"Okay, I promise."
He sighed lifted the left side of his pants, took off his right glove and rolled up his right sleeve. I bit my tongue to stop myself from yelping.
His right arm and leg were entirely made of metal. It looked like some kind of machine but way more advanced than anything I've ever seen before.
"Where did you get this?" I asked curiously looking at the leg.
Then he told me about his world, Amestris, the brother he left behind, that Winry was a skilled automail mechanic and that she replaced his lost limbs. Then he told me about the history of his country, the military, his jackass superior, the Flame Alchemist, then about how his mom died when he was just a child and how his dad disappeared without a trace. Then he told me more about Alchemy, the transmutation he did as a child and the price he and his brother had to pay. He described the Homunculi and the "god", Truth, and how he ended up here and met Levi.
As he went through his story, I realized how much we had in common. We both lost our moms and our dads were total mysteries to us, we had a family that we would protect with our lives, we both were part of a military system with superiors that we respected (but this Roy Mustang seems like a total ass though).
Then I told him about my story, Shiganshina, training for the Scout regiment, how I came to learn about my powers during the battle for Trost, my goal to eradicate all Titans and the recent battle against the female Titan.
We looked at each other, then we started crying. This was the first time I talked about all my sadness and regrets to someone and it must have been the same for him. Then something unexpected happened. He hugged me, it was a sincere hug, but still felt slightly distant. I hugged him back.
"I guess Levi was right when he said we were similar." he said.
"I guess he was." I smiled.
"He also said you were a hotheaded fool who bites off more than he can chew." he told me.
"Hey!"
He laughed when he saw my pouty expression, then I laughed too. When Corporal Levi came to check up on us. The room was not cleaned and we were still laughing our cheeks sticky from the dried tears.
He kicked us violently, then we started cleaning in silence under his supervision it was a painful 3 hours but we smiled through it all because we knew.
We both made a new friend.
