The mattress made him jump the moment Annie let herself fall on it.

"Difficult evening?" he looked away from his book, smiling down at Annie beside him.

"Yes" she mumbled against a pillow "They know nothing. They are worse than you" she lifted her head "No offense"

"None taken" he put his book on the nightstand and lied on his side, facing her "They are probably less smart"

"Oh, humble one, please don't talk so lowly about yourself" she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes and burring her face back on the mattress.

"Tired?" he let her hair out of its bun, running his hand through the short locks.

"Mmhm" she moved her head to the side to look at him.

"You were suffocating" he chuckled. She closed her eyes, a calm smile on her face.

"My nose hurt"

"I like your nose" he traced it with his finger, down to her lips, to her chin, to her neck.

"Yeah? I like yours" her voice was slow, a yawn escaping her mouth before she could help it.

"Go to sleep" he shook her shoulder gently, smiling fondly when she frowned.

"I don't want to go to my bedroom" she yawned again, covering her mouth.

"Then sleep here" he had to stifle a chuckle when her eyes shot open.

"Are you sure?"

"Why not? I was thinking about this…and I think it's time" he let her roll on her side, putting one hand on her waist and the other under his head.

"For me to sleep here?" she looked at him confused, her frown deepening.

"Yeah, something like that. Do you think Reiner and Bert have some time free tomorrow? I'm sure Historia will be free, 'supervise the Survey Corps' was just an excuse to see all of us, and Eren and Mikasa already told me they would be there-"

"Are you talking about what I think you are talking about?"

"Probably?"

"YES!" Eren jumped from his seat, both of his arms above his head.

"Congratulations guys" Mikasa hugged both of them, ignoring her husband's little dancing.

"Thank you guys, you know this means a lot for us" Armin tugged Annie closer to him, smiling at her blushing face.

"Look at our baby, Mikasa! He's all grown up" Eren put his hands on Armin's shoulders, smiling at him "He's leaving the nest-"

"Eren, don't do this"

"At least we raised him good, didn't we?" the Asian girl smiled, taking Eren's hand.

"Miikaaa"

"Aww! Come give Aunt Sasha a hug!" she ran to him, jumping in his arms.

"Uggghh, guys!" he blushed, letting go of Annie's hand.

"Are you going to forget Uncle Connie?" the man joined the hug laughing.

"You are the worst" he mumbled against his shoulder.

"Big bro Reiner needs a conversation with this young man next!"

"Uggggh" it was Annie's time to groan.

Yes, they are getting married.
