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

Part 7: The 104th Scout Regiment

Logan buttoned up his shirt as he got ready for the ceremony of the night. After all of the bloodshed and fighting the cadet core went through the days before, it had been time for them to officially choose a regiment to join. Levi and the others were also to go on patrol that morning however Erwin called for Logan, Gunthar, and Petra to come to Trost, trying to get as many people as possible to join the scouts.

"Logan? You busy?" Logan heard Eren's voice ask from the door behind him, Logan looked away from the mirror and towards the door, telling Eren it was fine for him to come in.

"What's up?" Logan asked as he continued to pull on his clothes, feeling awkward in fancy clothes instead of his normal scout attire.

"I know you're going to Trost with the Commander, is there any chance if you saw my friends, you could tell them I was okay? Mikasa and Armin?" Eren asked, trying not to bother the boy. Logan gave him a weird look before nodding.

"Of course I will, I'll tell them all about our adventures of cleaning the castle." Logan teased the boy who gave him a glare and a shove causing Logan to laugh. Eren chuckled a tiny bit before sitting on the bed next to Logan.

"I don't get why Captain Levi won't let me go with you guys. I wanna see my friends." Eren sighed causing Logan to nod.

"It's because he only trusts himself to be able to contain you if something happens," Logan spoke causing Eren to nod, already knowing that.

"I'll deliver your message though Yeager, you better be safe on that patrol though," Logan spoke, ruffling the shorter boys hair before he pulled his boots on. Eren was about to respond when the door opened, Petra peeking her head in.

"Logan, it's time to go kiddo." Petra's soft voice spoke causing Logan to nod and stand from the bed, Eren following him up.

"You know, I'm not gonna be around to save you so, don't die yeah?" Logan said to Eren, turning to face the boy. Eren gave him a smile and nodded before saluting him. Logan looked at the salute before shaking his head. They had been past saluting at that point. Logan pulled the boy into a hug, surprising Eren. Eren wrapped his arms around the taller boy's waist, placing his head into his chest.

"I'll be seeing you, Yeager," Logan said as he pulled away from the warm hug. Eren gave him a smile and a quick nod before leaving the room, passing Petra in the doorway.

Logan's smile widened as he approached the small stables of the old scout headquarters. He quickly found his way to his horse that Levi got him years ago.

"Hey, Stark, how you doing boy?" Logan said, petting the mane of the horse. The horse neighed as Logan smiled, placing his saddle on him.

The boy climbed up onto the back of the animal, patting his neck. Logan rode the black and white horse from the stables, meeting his two friends at the gate.

"You guys ready?" Logan asked, Petra and Gunther nodding before taking off down the trail, Logan following close behind.

Erwin had been waiting for the arrival of half of the Levi squad when they arrived, cloaked in green, and smiles on their face. Logan quickly dismounted Stark, giving Erwin a hug. Petra and Gunther saluted the man who saluted back, welcoming them back to Trost.

"How's Yeager doing? The captain hasn't killed him yet has he?" Erwin asked as the walked towards the area where they were holding the ceremony.

"Pfft, like Logan would let that happen." Petra scoffed causing Logan to slap her arm. Erwin raised his overly large eyebrows at the two, asking what she meant by that.
