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

Part 9: A Promise

It had been a month since the duel between two of the greatest warriors of the scouts. The newest group of scouts had been in training, learning the spotting strategy of commander Erwin while the elites of the scouts still stayed in the old headquarters. Levi had continued to train his squad, keeping them on their toes. Logan had gotten what he had won in the duel, now there were three things sleeping in his bed at night.

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

Logan laid on his bed, watching his cat Jango jump from his desk to the windowsill, looking at the falling sun. He sighed as he stood from his bed, being hungry after not eating that day.

He made his way to the mess hall, passing by countless scouts who all saluted him. He just nodded and smiled as he finally made it to his destination.

Logan quickly grabbed a biscuit before walking to an empty table to eat it in peace, being interrupted by a new face he had yet to see in the ranks. It had blue eyes and brown hair dropping down onto his forehead.

"This seat is taken?" The boy asked as Logan looked up, curious on the boy. The Corporal shook his head before returning to his food. The boy sat across from the high ranking scout.

"You're Corporal Logan right?" The boy asked causing Logan to nod once again, not too bothered by the boy. While everyone he was close within his life thought of the boy as a kind individual, he did have walls.

"I'm John, sorry if I'm interrupting you." He said, causing Logan to shake his head before actually responding.

"No, you're fine. It's nice to meet you, John." Logan spoke as he finished his biscuit, placing his plate to the side.

"It's nice to meet you too! I actually just joined the scouts and was wondering if you could give me some pointers?" John asked with a slight smile, causing Logan to nod and smile back. The two boys spent the next few hours training, doing drills and sparing. Logan even let him win once or twice.

"Corporal Logan!" The boy heard a voice call as he pulled on John's arm, causing the boy to tap on his leg. Logan stood, dusting himself off to turn to find a familiar face he hadn't seen in just over a month.

"Reiner! Good to see you!" Logan said, a wide smile spread on his face. Last time he had seen the boy he had graduated second in his class and vowed to join the scouts. Reiner smiled at the corporal, his eyes quickly traveling to the new scout next to him.

"Reiner Braun, you are?" Reiner asked him causing John to introduce himself to the tall burly boy

"You look like you've somehow gotten bigger. I didn't even know that was possible." Logan joked with Reiner who chuckled and nodded.

"Your hair is different." He simply stated causing Logan to nod, he had Eld teach him how to do it like he had it. Logan looked to John, giving him a smile before spotting some of the other 104th graduates marched through the gates.

"John, I gotta go. More of my friends just showed up. This was fun though!" Logan said as he jogged away from the two boys. Logan was stopped a bit short of the group by his name being called by Levi.

"Logan! Commander Erwin wants to meet with you! Get your ass over here!" Levi yelled causing Logan to nod, looking to see Eren talking with his friends. He smiled at the sight before running over to his mentor.

"What's it about?" Logan asked, matching walking pace with Levi who shrugged and mumbled out something. Logan nodded, walking silently next to Levi.

"I ought to have you thrown in a cell, brat," Levi said causing Logan to laugh before looking at the shorter man, his face stone cold as usual.

"Why's that, old man?" Logan asked, curious about what he could've done to cause him to say that. Levi muttered out his classic 'Tch' before responding.
