Alternate (a AOT and FMA crossover)

Chapter 28

(Eren's POV)

"I'm going to do it!" declared the newly crowned queen.

The short but regal coronation had just finished, but boy was it dramatic. Historia had worn a white dress, with a cape that fell of the shoulders. After the crown was placed on her head, the commanders of the three regiments and Zackly bowed down to her. She did the whole military salute thing, to show her upraising in the army and the crowd went wild, applause and journaliste taking notes and cheering was all that I could hear.

Now the eight of us were walking in the hall of the royal palace, she had thrown off her cape, supposedly uncomfortable shoes and placed the crown in her new bedroom and now she were storming around her palace, searching for the Captain and Mustang who just had a talk with Commander Erwin in the Survey Corp's military room of the palace.

And she had just suddenly dropped that comment.

"Do what?" asked Edward a bit confused, who was on my left.

"I think Eren knows..." she said looking firmly a me.

I do?

I thought about it intensely, what could she and I know, that involves looking for the Captain...

"Wait... You mean that!?" I exclaimed, looking down at her.

"Based on your reaction I guess it's not a good thing." sighed Armin.

"No, it's fucking insane!" I retorted.

"Can someone please tell us ignorant fools what the hell you're talking about!" yelled Jean sarcastically.

"Dimo Reeves final request to me." Historia answered, still storming the hallways.

"Not helping..." mumbled Connie, sing songing.

"She's planing on punching Captain Levi." I told them.

"WHAT!?!!" shouted Connie, Sasha and Armin.

"Haha! Yes! Payback for making us clean all the time!" jeered Jean.

"You should say something, like 'I'm queen now, what are you going to do about it' or something." proposed Mikasa.

"Oi Mikasa! Not helping!" I hissed.

"Better yet! 'I'm queen now Corporal pipsqueak, what are you going to do about it'!" Edward said, overlaying Mikasa's proposition.

She looked at him and smiled, then they high-fived.

"You do realise that you are shorter that him, right?" Jean asked.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT!!" shouted Edward.

He changed his arm into a blade and started chasing Jean up and down the corridor, practically spewing fire and Jean realising that he may have made a mistake.

"You are aware that we trying to not get killed, whether it's a titan eating us or the captain murdering us out of spite." I reminded, as we stopped to look at the two play tag, one with a bladed arm and the other panicking like a wild goose.

"He won't kill us, I mean, Historia's the queen, Mikasa is the best soldier of our generation, I'm not even from this world and besides he wouldn't lay a finger on Eren. I'm just worried about Jean." Edward explained, holding Jean by the collar and shaking him like a madman until he started to turn green.

"What makes you say that, I mean he beat the shit out of me once, I'm sure he could do it again." I retorted terrified. 

"Right. I forgot about that. Anyway, are we going to find Levi or not?" he finally said, helping the sick looking Jean back on his feet.

So we just kept walking, until we got near the middle of the hall, where we found the captain, he was leaning against the huge window, in his formal uniform trench coat and his hands in his pockets. He looked somewhat dim, well dimmer then usual, his eyes had a pained stare in them, nothing like the cold glare he usually has, and his face was let's say, less firm and strict then normal.

"Hey Levi! Where's the Colonel?" asked Edward waving at him.

"Mustang? He's with Erwin right now. Nice coronation by the way." he said, looking at the small queen.

She gulped, fear visible in her big blue eyes, she was clearly nervous about going through with hitting humanity's strongest soldier who until recently was her superior. But she took a deep breath and walked up towards him. He looked down at her, a curious look mixing in with his sad one. She clenched a fist and slammed in it his arm, it wasn't particularly strong or anything, but I still jumped a bit in surprise and looked at the captain, hoping his reaction won't be too extreme.

And it wasn't, but it was scary as hell.

He smiled. Captain goddamn Levi smiled. It was a small smile, close to a smirk, but he definitely did. It was the first time I saw him genuinely happy.

"Thanks guys." he said, not dropping the smile.

The rest of us, were in awe and shock, even Mikasa was in complete disbelief. He strange with a smile, like a normal person.

Then Mustang came out. Ever since he arrived, I managed to learn more about him, and honestly, he wasn't as bad as Edward made him look like. I mean, he is mo43 childish and playful than the captain, but he had Erwin's way of thinking and sense of responsibility, and we got along pretty well, and I think the rest of the gang feels the same way.

Well anyway, he came out of the scouts' office and we made our way to our new rooms. As an official thank you gesture to us, for taking care of Historia for years, she invited us to stay in the palace until we have to leave to Shiganshina in a few weeks.

Well... it wasn't exactly time off, I mean it was, but we still have plenty of things we need to do. But first and foremost, I'm just looking forward to taking a shower and crashing in my new bedroom, in the freaking royal palace.
