(5 years later)
I sat in my apartment, staring up at the ceiling, listening to Linkin Park coming from the stereo system. My phone buzzed persistently against my chest as I checked the time. 3:00 sharp, like every day for the past 5 years. I picked up and felt my heart clench at the deep, soothing voice coming through the phone.
"Hi, Levi," I said.
"Hello, brat," he chuckled.
"I love you," I replied.
"I love you too."
"I'm glad we kept our relationship going these past five years."
"Of course we have. There was no way I was going to let you go."
We started talking about small things, the business I had started to help college students study abroad, Levi's new position in the government, reliving France, Erwin's decision to travel the world, Petra getting married to some guy named Aururo, Hanji getting a grant to do experiments on stem cells, telling each other that we loved each other, et cetra.
"I miss you, Levi," I ended up saying. The other end was silent. "I... We've only seen each other every few months. I miss you. It makes my heart ache."
"I miss you too, Eren," I growled, and I could tell he was getting choked up.
The doorbell rang and I looked at the time.
"Hey, Levi, hang on a sec, Armin's early in dropping off some souvenirs from his honeymoon with Mikasa."
"He and Mikasa got married?"
"Yeah, he's so calm, it's good for her. The whole thing made me miss you more though." My voice got choked on tears.
I walked towards the door as Levi said through the phone, "Quit crying, brat."
I wiped away tears hastily as I reached for the door handle. I opened it and a blur of black, white, and grey slammed into me, shoving me into the wall, the door still wide open, my cell phone still pressed to my ear.
"Levi?!" I asked against a familiar pair of lips, hearing my voice come out of the cell phone held in one of the pale hands locked around me.
"Marry me," he snarled into my lips.
"L-Levi, what?" I asked, dropping my cell phone.
He finally pulled away and glared at me, eyes dark and stormy. Handsome.
"I said, marry me, you little brat."
I stared at the man pressing against me on the wall. Pale skin like virgin snow, eyes like rainclouds, hair like shadows.
"Levi," I gasped and pressed my lips to his, tears spilling out of my eyes as my heart ached with the joy of seeing him again.
"Marry me," he murmured. "Marry me Eren. Be my husband. I don't want to be separated from you again. Marry me Eren Jaeger. Marry me, please marry me, Eren. You're the only person I'd ever love, marry me. Epouse-moi. Epouse-moi. Epouse-moi. Epouse-moi. Epouse-moi. "
"Yes Levi. Oh yes. Always yes," I sobbed, wrapping my arms around the man who had my heart.
He pulled away and pawed at his suit pocket with one hand and held my face with the other. He skimmed my cheek with his thumb, collecting my tears. He stared into my eyes as he pulled out a box and wrestled the silver band out of it. He slipped it onto my finger and brought my hand up to his lips, kissing it.
His eyes were bright with tears as he kissed me again, this time gentle and sweet. I kept my lips on his as I shut the door and turned off my phone. We collapsed onto the couch, him on top of me. Our teeth clashed and our tongues dueled for dominance. I felt our tears coat our lips, diluting his taste of black tea. He fisted his hands in my hair and pressed himself closer as I pressed my hands up his back, growling with appreciation. I felt our breathing becoming heavier and it made me dizzy.
Levi, I thought, holding said man in my arms tightly as I swore against his mouth.
"Ich liebe dich," I murmured into the kiss.
"Je t'aime," he murmured back.
A knock sounded on the door.
"Ah... That would be Armin," I whispered.
Levi looked at me, eyes glazed with infatuation. "Can't he wait?"
"He'll let himself in if I don't answer the door."
Levi swore and let me up. I opened the door to Armin and Mikasa holding gifts in their arms.
"Hey Eren!" the chorused, stepping in. "Hi, Levi," they said, noticing the man on the couch.
"Hello, I heard about your marriage, congrats," he said blandly, his apathetic mask on.
"Thank you! Did you just get in? I thought you weren't due for another month," Armin smiled as Mikasa narrowed her eyes at his slightly off center suit jacket.
" I wanted to surprise Eren," he replied, not returning the smile.
"Kasa. Armin," I finally interjected. I held up my hand, the silver band glimmering on it.
There was dead silence for a few seconds. Then it shattered.
"EREN!" Mikasa screaming, hurtling at me and hugging me tightly.
"Congrats Levi!" Armin yelled over Mikasa's sobs and screams of happiness.
"Which last name are you going to take?" Mikasa demanded, mascara running.
"Jaeger," Levi said firmly. I smiled over at my now fiancé.
"When? Where? We've got to start planning right now!" Mikasa insisted.
"Um... Mika, why don't we get to that tomorrow?" Armin said, noticing the waves of resentment coming off of Levi.
Mikasa nodded tearfully, kissed me on the cheek and walked out. Armin shut the door behind him.
I turned to look at Levi. His jacket was laying on the couch arm as well as his vest. He was unbuttoning his shirt and staring at me with predatory eyes.
"I have been denied this for five years. If I was engaged to a girl, I would wait. But since we can't get pregnant, I don't care," Levi snarled, popping open the last button on his shirt, leaving it hanging open over his sculpted body. He started with his belt but I put a hand over his, stopping his progress. He looked at me, disappointment evident in his eyes.
I drew him into a kiss and we worked out way to my bedroom. I could feel his want against my hips. My own pants twitched as we stumbled into the room. I kicked the door shut and was pressed against it by a very eager Levi. I chuckled and broke away. I got off the door and stared down at the man, who was very confused. I grinned evilly as I undid and slid off his belt.
"If you were a girl, I'd care too. But you're not. In fact, I want hard proof you're not," I chuckled.
"It's yours," Levi said, kissing me again and pulling me onto the bed.
Within minutes, the two of us were clothed only in the sheets on the bed.
"Can you make me feel like you did in France?" Levi murmured as he bit and sucked at my neck.
I gasped and growled, "Challenge accepted," and flipped him over on the bed.
