Eren
I woke up to a loud banging on the door, I groaned disentangling myself from Isabel. I stretched as I sat up and walked to the door. I opened the door to see an overly excited Hanji standing there with the biggest grin on her face.
"Miss Hanji? Did you need something? Levi isn't here." I murmur rubbing my eyes.
"Eren you and I need to go on a little field trip today." I stare at her confused as she barges into the house.
"Miss Hanji, I don't understand?" I groan as she starts digging through a large duffle bag she brought with her. I watch her extend her hand with a teal blindfold, I look up at her trying to understand what she's trying to do.
"Put it on and hurry we don't want to keep anyone waiting." I sighed knowing full well Miss Hanji would never hurt me. I took the blindfold tying it securely around my eyes until all I could see was black. I didn't even flinch as she began to undress me and redress me. I only moved when she asked me to. From what I was hearing she was getting Isabel dressed to and I could only sit there and wonder what the hell was going on. After a moment she wrapped her arm around me helping me walk outside until I was situated into a wagon.
"Can I take this thing off yet Miss Hanji?" I question as I sit up a bit straighter feeling Isabel crawl up on my lap and curl herself into my arms. I hugged her tight as Hanji patted my head. "Sorry but not yet were almost there. Just bare with it, till be worth it." I huffed a bit annoyed before beginning to listen to the sounds around me and its strange I can't really hear anything aside from the wind that's blowing through my hair.
Something in the air had changed as well, it felt really hot. Not a normal kind of hot like a sticky kind of heat, I got the sudden taste of salt on my tongue. Isabel and I lurched a little bit when the wagon came to a halt and I just handed the little blond to Hanji as another hand helped me out of the wagon. I gripped the arm tightly as I jumped out of the wagon, I felt myself sink instantly as soon as my feet hit the uneven ground. Where the hell am I?
"Come this way Eren." A voice orders and I'm assuming its Annie as she leads me around until another hand is placed on my shoulders forcing me to stay still.
"Congratulations Eren." Annie laughed as the blind fold was untied and as it loosened I swallowed hard. I squeezed my eyes shut and as soon as I feel it slip off.
"Eren open your eyes." Hanji whispered in my ear. I opened my eyes staring in shock, I was on a beach like the ones in Armin's books. The sun was high over head making the white sand glitter around us. I stood there looking around at the beautiful sight before me, the scent of salt was thick in the air as the waves crashed on the glittering sand. Above me I could hear the calls of birds I didn't even have a name for. The cool breeze was gently brushing my hair away from my face as it caressed my skin in a gentle kiss. This is unlike anything I could have imagined, the only thing that was missing…Levi.
"Eren, turn around for me darling." Miss Hanji said once more turning me to face the ocean itself, I watched her as she walked away. There was a small red carpet leading to an arch with beautiful white and pink flowers twisted around it, chairs were lined in rows in front of it already filled with our friends that we had made here. Then my eyes met with liquid mercury, Levi stood there at the foot of the alter dressed in a tuxedo with a silver vest and tie. He had the most beautiful smile on his face as he stared at me. Beside him stood Hanji, Rico, and Kutchel, while on the opposite side Armin, Ymir and Christa bright smiles on their faces.
I knew I was crying as I slowly made my way down the aisle, when I got there I wrapped my arms around him tightly. He chuckled as his arms wound around me, holding me as tightly as he could to himself.
"Its time to start, Eren." Levi whispers pulling me up the small steps to where his father was waiting for us. Levi held my trembling hands as we looked into each other's eyes, I felt my heart racing in my chest.
" Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to bear witness to the union of Levi and Eren. These two boys have struggled for a long time and both have endured many hardships. Today is the day where they will become one with their struggles, using each other's strengths to overcome any obstacle. They will learn each other's weaknesses and strive for a better life for each other. Do you Levi take Eren to be your lawfully wedded husband? In sickness and in health until death do you part?"
He asks and Levi takes my hand bringing it to his lips to place a small kiss there.
"I do." I grin at him squeezing his hands tighter in mine.
"Do you Eren take Levi to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health until death do you part?" I took a deep breath as the tears slowly slid down my cheeks.
"I do." Alexander called to Isabel who walked up the aisle with a small pillow in her hands.
"If anyone has a reason on why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace." His father says and we both look around and wait for a moment.
"You may say your vows, Levi first then Eren since he's a bit un prepared for this." Alexandre jokes with a smile as Levi gives my hand a gentle squeeze.
"From the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were different. You challenged me, teased me and ultimately smiled every time you were around me. While others feared me you wanted nothing but to get close to me, to care for me. When I was hurt as well as when I lost my memory, you were there Eren taking care of me with your life. That's why I vow to you, to love you eternally. To always put your needs and well being above that of my own. To use all my power as humanities strongest, and Humanities end to protect you with my life. If you become uncontrollable beast, I will be there by your side until you remember who I am. My life was yours the moment I laid eyes on you, I hope you'll take this ring as a reminder of everything I'm willing to do for you." Levi admits, his voice dropping to a gentle whisper as he takes a small silver band from the pillow Isabel is holding and slides it on my ring finger.
"Levi, after we met in that court room you saved my life. You defended me, protected me, guided me to become who I am today. You trained me as my superior and you held me when I cried as your lover. No matter what happens to us from here on out, the only certainty I have is that I want to spend it with you. I want to forever be by your side, I want to be the only one that loves you and has your love. I want to protect you and shield you from this world we live in. I want you Levi now and forever. With this ring, I hope you'll allow me to be selfish and keep those promises." Levi smiles nodding as I take the teal band that's left and slide it on his ring finger.
"You may now kiss your husband." Levi pulled me close wrapping his arms around my neck. I pressed my lips against his as cheers erupted from everyone. I kissed Levi softly as his lavender scent took over my senses leaving me to surrender myself to him. When we pulled away we were both panting as our eyes met, his eyes darkened with so many emotions.
"Now you two should get home and enjoy your honeymoon." Hanji winks as she pats us both on the back, making my grip on Levi loosen only slightly.
"She's right, I have one more surprise Eren. Will you come with me?" Levi questions as he offers me his hand, I take it as he walks me around the beach behind some rocks until I see a two story house built into the side of the rocks. He drags me until we are at the door, he unlocks it stepping inside.
"I'm home." I muse looking at Levi who smiles his features softening until he looks close to my age.
"Welcome home, brat." I swallow hard feeling the tears rolling down my cheeks once more, this time though Levi is crying to as we wrap our arms around each other. I let him pull me to the couch sitting me down as he gets on my lap holding me tightly. We both listen to the patter of rain as it begins to fall hitting the windows and the water right outside the house. We sit there for a few moments the sound itself making me shiver.
I pull Levi as close as I can then I lay my head on his chest, letting all the emotions I'm feeling out. Its surreal, I'm married to Levi, we have our own home where we can live as a family.
"I'm sorry I made you believe there was somebody else, but in truth there's no body but you Eren. I've been planning this with Hanji since the day that I got here. I realized that I wouldn't ever want anybody else. I only want you." Levi insists and I know that he's right, he's never given me reason to think otherwise.
"I was scared, you were leaving a lot, I thought I did something to run you off. I just didn't want you to hate me." He laughs as both of his cool hands find my cheeks making me look into his eyes.
"Eren, I won't ever hate you. I love you too much to let you go." He murmurs as his eye lids flutter closed and his mouth presses softly against mine. On instinct alone my arms tighten around Levis suit pulling him closer as his tongue delves into my mouth allowing me to taste his strawberry flavored tongue. He tastes so sweet his tongue mingling with mine as he tries to get a better taste of me. Our tongues slowly danced together, neither of us bothering to fight for dominance, our only goal being to enjoy the feeling of the other. I placed my hands on his hips as he tangled his slender fingers in my hair tugging on it to pull pleasure filled gasps from my lips.
"Levi." I rasped wrapping his legs around and picking him up.
"Where is the bedroom?" he pants softly in my ear making my pants go uncomfortably tight at the sound.
"Upstairs." He utters as he begins assaulting my neck with bites and kisses. I carry him up the stairs to our bedroom only to stand in awe as I look around. The lights are off but candles are lit around the room surrounding the bed. Right above our heads instead of having a normal ceiling its made of glass so we can look up at the sky. I could see the rain splashing on it and building into small puddles at the top of the house as the thunder and lightning began. I walked Levi over to a large king-sized bed with rose petals scattered along it.
