Alternate (a AOT and FMA crossover)

Chapter 30

(Week 1, day 5)

Eren woke up to the sound of the captain's voice booming through the hall.

"GET YOUR SORRY ASSES OUT OF BED RIGHT NOW OR I WILL MAKE YOU RUN TO THE CONSTRUCTION SITE!"

In the beginning he was confused, he had no idea what was happening, all he knew was that he had another good night of sleep and that Levi was yelling for some reason.
But then he remembered, that today, they're leaving with Historia to go build the orphanage.

For the past five days, the young Queen of the Walls had practically robbed the nobility with tax money to be able to get the resources to building one, but since she didn't want to seem too cruel, she only took the money for the materials, the building will have to be done with her own two hands. But she couldn't possibly do it on her own, so the Survey Corp agreed to help her, by sending the Elite squad, the two alchemists, Levi, Hange, Moblit and Winry.

Oh shit! Oh shit!

He scrambled out of bed and managed to rinse himself, brush his teeth and fix his hair in two minutes. He then hobbled out of the bathroom and opened the closet where he stored the little things he has, he opened the first draw and saw the sketch pads on top of his shirts. Over the past few days, Eren and the other cadets had a lot freetime on their hands, so he decided to start using the notepads and pencils that Edward had gotten him during their field trip in Ehrmich. He and the alchemist spent their time drawing about their own little worlds, Eren drew things about Shiganshina, or what he could remember of his hometown, Edward drew a bunch of things, like his brother in his armor body, the homunculi and other such things.

But before the titan shifter could reminisce more, he remembered why he's rushing in the first place, he pulled on a sand color shirt, brown pants and shoes, he put on a buttonless cardigan and ran out the room without even bothering to close the door.

2 minutes later, all ten of them were downstairs, at the entrance waiting for their ride. They were all in commoner clothes, even Historia, who had refused to not take part in the construction. The two alchemists had to wear hoods, in order to hide their faces until they left wall Sina, because after all, they are still a secret from the rest of the world.

The captain congratulated them on making it downstairs so quickly then threw them each a little paper bag with breakfast, bread with dried meat and cheese. They thanked him and ate it, all while chatting to each other.

Then the cart finally arrived, sitting in it was Hange, Winry and Moblit. The blond immediately jumped to Edward's neck and practically squeezed the life out of him. Hange started scruffing everybody's hair, most just uncomfortably let her, some like Mikasa and Sasha just ignored her and kept eating but when she was about to go for Levi, Moblit had to armlock her to stop her from making a mistake.

"Took you long enough four eyes." hissed Levi, once she calmed down.

"Sorryyyy. But coming from Trost to Mitras takes more time than you think when you don't have an alchemist that can transport you around." reminded the section commander. "But enough of that! We still have a two hour ride to get there!"

To that, Winry finally let go of Edward, who collapsed in Mikasa's arms, his face was blue and his eyes were devoid of all life.

"Uh guys? I think Cutie here is dying..." she called out.

"Just put him on, he'll learn how to breathe on the cart." instructed Winry, already sitting on the bench.

So Mikasa and Eren managed to load the boy on the cart, they set him on the planks between the benches and they all stared at the boy as his face became paler and paler. After 10 minutes, he was practically a ghost, the only color left on him was his hair and eyes, but even his irises were less gold and more like yellowy grey.
