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

Part 6: The Titan Murders

Logan's eyes snapped open as he woke from his dreamless sleep. It was a surprise that he hadn't had any nightmares but it had been a welcome surprise. Logan tried to stand yet he felt an arm wrapped around his waist. The blonde boy looked down, spotting Eren holding onto the boy for dear life it seemed. Logan let his hand roam to the sleeping boy's hair, running it through the soft hair of his friend. He wanted to stay there forever, no more titans, no more killing. Just him and Eren, living there forever.

Before Logan could wake the boy up, he heard the door crack open, Petras familiar eyes peaked through, widening at the sight. She knew they were sleeping in the same room but the same bed?

"Moving a little quick are you?" Petra teased, causing Logan to roll his eyes. Logan put a finger to his mouth, telling the girl to be quiet as he got out of the bed. He carefully unwrapped the boy's arm from his waist and made his way to the hallway where Petra and Eld had been waiting.

"So, how was your night?" Eld asked, a smirk evident on his face. Logan sighed before running his hand over his face.

"You too?" Logan sighed as Petra chuckled at the two Levi squad members. If she hadn't known any better, she would have never had thought the two were two of the most deadly people known to man.

"So what did you need?" Logan asked, breaking away from his conversation with Eld to talk to the female of the group.

"Oh! Hange wanted to have a meeting with Eren, to explain some test she'd be running. She's in her office." Petra said causing Logan to nod tiredly, normally he'd ask more about it but he trusted Hange and he was exhausted.

"I'll get the kid up. You guys wanna get some breakfast while he's doing that?" Logan asked causing Petra to nod and Eld to let out a 'Mhm' before walking away next to Petra. Logan yawned as he opened the door to his room, the sunlight from the window shining onto the boy. Logan climbed his way onto the bed, balancing himself on his knees.

"Eren... Time to wake up." Logan whispered, slightly shaking the boy awake. His emerald eyes opened slowly, seemingly focusing on the boy who had been covered in sunlight, a smile blooming on the boys face.

"Come on get up. Section Commander Hange wants to explain some stuff to you." Logan said, standing up from the bed and pulling his boots on. Eren watched the boy pull on his scout jacket, looking to the still half asleep boy.

"So uh, thank you. For last night. I haven't slept that well in quite a long time." Logan mumbled out causing Eren to slightly blush at him.

"Yeah. Me too." Eren simply said bashfully, sitting up in the bed. He had been wearing jeans and his white button-up shirt from yesterday. Logan tossed some of his own clothes at the boy, giving him a small smile before opening the door.

"I'll see ya later Eren, be safe," Logan said before slipping out of the room.

"No! Not a chance!" Logan chuckled out as he ate a piece of his breakfast. Petra laughed, throwing her head back as Eld smiled at the pair.

"I'm telling you, kid, you could beat him! Especially if he hurt Petra or insulted Yeager." Eld mused causing Petra to stifle a harder laugh as she continued eating. Logan rolled his eyes as he took a sip of his drink.

"There's not a chance he could! Levi has far more experience in fighting!" Olou said causing Gunther to slap the back of the older man's head causing Logan to fully break, he took deep breathes in between laughs as he wiped tears from his face.

"Oh my god Olou, you should've seen your face!" Logan breathed out as he tried to catch his breath, trying not to choke on the food he had just eaten. Olou even let out a chuckle as Levi took a seat at the table, a small biscuit on his plate.

"What's all the fuss about?" Levi asked, sounding as bored as ever.

"Eld and Petra seem to think that Logan here has a chance in beating you in a sparring session, Captain," Olou said causing the air to seemingly be sucked out of the room. Logan eyed his captain, a slight smirk on his face.

"Oh, is that so? Hmph." Levi said, taking a bite from his biscuit, looking at the boy across the table.

"What do you think, Brat?" Levi asked as he munched down on his biscuit, still playfully eyeing the boy. Logan squinted at the man, a smirk still playing on his face.

"Hmm, I'm not sure. I think I could take you, old man." Logan said causing Levi to let out a chuckle. The two smiled at each other, causing the rest of the table to laugh.

The boy had just finished his breakfast as someone busted through the door.

"Well, I guess we'll have to quell the rumors then, ey brat?" Levi said, finishing his biscuits, Logan's eyes widened at the proposition.

"Well, What do I get if I win? After all, I'd be putting my body on the line so." Logan spoke playfully causing Levi to shrug.

"I demand two things. One, I want a cat." Logan started causing Levi to sigh. The two had had the cat conversation countless times. Logan had asked for a cat the third day he was officially in the scouts.

"Fine. But It's you and Petra will be responsible for it." Levi said causing Logan's eyes to widen with glee, Petra let out an exciting yell as she and Logan did their handshake.

"Two. I want you to treat Eren better." Logan said, focusing back on his goal causing Levi to scoff, nodding. Right as the two were about to go outside to spar, one of the military police stormed into the room they were in, screaming about how the titans they had captured days ago had been killed.

Logan's eyes snapped to Levi in confusion, someone had killed them in the middle of the night? Levi looked at the boy with the same confusion for a brief second before his face returned to his bored demeanor.

-----------------------

Logan walked around the now titan skeletons, curious about how someone got in and out so fast. Hange had been standing in front of the bodies, screaming about how terrible it was.

"How'd this happen?" Eren asked Levi when Logan stood to the side of the two. Levi scoffed before saying to forget about it, it had been the military police's job. Levi walked away leaving the two younger boys staring at the skeletons.

"Is this what's gonna happen to me? If I lose control?" Eren asked, not taking his eyes off the bodies. Logan shook his head, knowing it wouldn't come to that.

"No. I won't let this happen to you, Yeager." Logan said as he patted the boy on the shoulder and walked towards the exit of the area. He was still tired and had things to do for Levi that day, plus he needed to ride back to trost for the ceremony the next night.

Logan walked past Erwin, giving him a sad smile and a nod before meeting Levi towards the gate.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Logan asked his captain, not looking at him. After all, the traitor who killed the two titans could still be among them. Levi hummed out a response causing Logan to nod.

"Something smells like a rat," Logan spoke out causing Levi to nod, knowing that someone from the government had done this.

Sorry, this chapter is so short! I'm really excited for the next one! Hope you enjoyed it regardless!
