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

Part 5: Yesterday

Logan smiled as he looked around the forest. He loved the greenery of the forest, it was a contrast to the interior of the wall.

"Logan! Stop daydreaming!" Olou said, getting the boy's attention. Logan rolled his eyes at the man, making a quip about him trying to sound like Levi.

Logan noticed Eren, looking around the Forrest in excitement, it had must've been a long time since he's seen this much green.

Logan patted his horse as he slowly made his way over towards Eren, still just watching his face.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Logan asked as he looked around as well. Eren mumbled out a "mhm" as he kept on the trail.

"You don't need to worry, Levi won't say anything if you're talking to me," Logan said causing Eren to slightly smile at him.

"Why is that?" Eren asked, curious about the relationship of the two. He knew that the captain was protective of the boy, he did threaten him that Logan was his priority.

"Why is what? Levi being okay with me talking to you?" Logan asked curiously, Eren nodded causing Logan to sigh as he wasn't sure if he was ready to retell the story.

"Boys, Stop your flirting. We're here." Petra said causing Logan to groan of embarrassment as Olou made his way to the other side of Eren, telling him about how he wouldn't be afraid to kill the boy if need be.

Logan quickly slapped the side of Olous horse causing it to buck and Olou to bite his tongue. Logan chuckled as the older man gave him a glare. Logan stuck his tongue out at the man as they quickly dismounted their horses. Eld and Gunther made their way to the front as Logan grabbed some of the bags he had hanging from the back of his horse.

"Logan, I have a question," Eren asked from behind him, Logan turned his head, nodding to tell him to continue.

"How many have you killed? Titans." Eren spoke causing Logan to furrow his eyebrows, curious on the number himself. He had stopped keeping count months ago.

"Must be over a hundred now, I don't think I have as many as Levi but I have a decent chunk. Why do you ask?" Logan asked, placing the bags by the door.

"Just curious," Eren said with a slight smile.

"Oi! Boys! We're cleaning. Hurry up." Levi yelled causing Logan to sigh, he knew it was coming. He had figured the old headquarters had been dirty but he had hoped it would be up to Levi's standards.

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

Everyone had switched to their casual clothes to clean the Castle, Logan had been working with Levi most of the time like normal.

"So, You and the boy?" Levi spoke, breaking the silence that had been there for a few minutes. Logan gave him a strange look as he finished tidying up the bed in the room.

"What do you mean by that?" Logan asked, sitting on the bed looking to his guardian. Levi scoffed as he turned around and pulled his mask down.

"You like him, don't you?" Levi asked, squinting his eyes at the boy, seeing him try to hide a blush as his eyes went wide.

"NO! It's nothing." Logan spoke, raising his voice causing Levi to slightly smirk at the boy, it actually brought a small bit of light to his heart to see the boy experience love.

"Just be careful, Ey brat?" Levi chuckled as he continued to clean the room.

The squad sat down for dinner, all eating as Logan slowly strummed on a guitar he had found in the attic. Logan slightly nodded his head to the music he was making, going along with the notes in his head off in his own world.
