Eren 5 years later:
"Do we have anymore eggs?" I called out to Levi who was wandering around cleaning every surface that didn't meet his high standards.
His head popped out around the corner of our new apartments kitchen. "You were supposed to pick those up after you finished your classes."
"Shit. I knew I forgot something." I tangle my fingers in my hair trying to find something else to make us for breakfast. "Well how does Mac N' Cheese sound? Hmm what's this, maybe some stale cereal?" I shake the box of well out of date Cinnamon Toast Crunch in his face. Levi rolls his eyes and makes his way into the kitchen.
"Oi, brat. Just because you're a college student doesn't mean you have to eat like one. It definitely means I don't have to go back down that road either." Levi searches around in the pantry and pulls out a bag of potatoes. "Chop them up and make hash browns."
He hits me on the butt with the duster he was using earlier and leaves to go back to cleaning. I start the peeling process which creates a mess. I gather up the peels but realize that we haven't yet unpacked the trash can. Well shit.
I put down the potato skins and start searching through boxes. Who packs a trash can? How could you even fit one in a box? Apparently Levi does, and apparently he can also pack it.
I open a box that's filled with maybe ten photos? We don't usually take pictures because then I have to face the wrath that is Levi. The first picture is me with Mikasa, Armin, Levi, and Hangi on my high school graduation day. Hangi made us squish together so she could try to take the picture herself but failed and then gave it to some random mom walking by.
There's three photos of me, Mikasa, and Armin. One is from when we went to dinner to celebrate Armin getting into Titan University on full scholarship which I wasn't suprised about because, I mean, he's a little genius. The second is when Armin and I helped Mikasa unpack her new apartment with Annie. The last one is from way back to the last day of senior year where we went down to the beach with others and had a bonfire.
Hangi got a picture of Levi and me when he graduated college. This is one of the two pictures where Levi's smiling and not smirking. I pick up another picture, probably taken by Hangi because it's kind of blurry, of him on his first day of his teaching job. You can tell he wasn't aware of the camera because he's just staring down at his lesson plans.
I pull out a frame of just Mikasa and me in her dorm room at Sina University. I think we'd just finished unpacking or something but since I had taken it of both of us I didn't really manage to get a lot of the room in.
Digging deeper I see a picture of Levi and me at the cafe. He's smirking and pointing to something in my textbook. You can tell Hangi took it because you can see coffee cups on each side of the camera from where she was hiding in order to get the shot. Lastly I see the second photo where Levi's smiling and it's on the night we got engaged. I smile and pack the photos back away and then remember why I was looking through boxes in the first place.
"Levi, which box is the trash can in?" I open up other boxes searching through them when I hear Levi's laughter. "What's so funny?" I yell back aggravated.
"First off you don't pack trash cans." He walks up behind me, "And second, the trash can is under the sink." He points to a cabinet. Oh. I walk over to the kitchen and throw the peels away.
"Maybe we should get little signs for everything." He grabs a post-it-note from a drawer and writes refrigerator before going and putting it on the fridge. "That better?"
"Shut up, Levi." I say smiling then taking the note I crumple it up and throw it at him.
"Oh I'm surprised you remembered my name, brat." He picks up the note and goes to throw it away but I trap him between the counter.
"At least I know you'll never forget my name. You scream it so much in the bedroom." I wink at him and pull him in for a kiss.
"Oi, get back to cooking I'm hungry." He pushes me away smirking to go make coffee and I go back to chopping with my shit-eating-grin.
I never really thought I'd get a 'happily ever after' type ending but standing here in my new apartment with my fiance- I know I've got one. And to think it all started with tutoring.
