This had been the worst day that Levi had had in awhile. Boring and awful to a fault, along with the impending feeling of doom that seemed to surround himself and Eren. All thanks to the preparation he was being forced to do, he hadn't seen Eren since he had woken up this morning. Which during that time, the younger had clung to him with all his might, begging he stay with him in bed longer and softly crying when Levi had finally left and closed the door. If there was one thing Levi hated most in life, it was seeing Eren cry. Even his hatred of titans didn't come close.

In the end, he'd practically had to threaten Erwin to at least give him the rest of the day off-shirking his responsibilities off for some other poor soul to deal with. Luckily enough, the man had agreed, saying something like 'since I'm forcing you to go on this expedition against your fucking will, I'll actually be a human and let you spend time with the one person you care about'. Or something like that. Either way, after a bit of afternoon training with the regiment, he was out of there. He took a quick shower and changed his clothes before heading back to where his lover laid. He could already hear sniveling from within as he approached the room.

"Eren…" Levi called as he entered the room.

His heart seized in his chest when he saw Eren. Why did life have to be so awful?

The man had somehow wrapped himself in a little ball around his round belly. He was curled in on himself, clutching a pillow to his chest and sobbing into it. He was facing the wall, and honestly Levi had never seen him look so small and broken.

When he heard Levi entering he turned slowly on the bed, seemingly having difficulties because of his overly swollen stomach, and faced him. Despite the object of his worries being right before him, safe and sound, he didn't seem to be able to dry his tears. Eren wiped his tears with his sleeve and looked up at his husband with reddened eyes.

"H-hi," he said in a hoarse voice.

Levi frowned, immediately dropping his uniform onto the chair and sitting down on the bed next to Eren. The younger sniffled, sitting up and looking sadly into his lap. His husband reached over and lifted his chin with a finger, wiping a few stray tears from his eyes with his thumb.

"It's okay, Eren," he soothed, running a hand through the man's messy hair.

The brunette shook his head, more tears falling silently from his eyes. He wiped them futilely and collapsed into Levi's shoulder with a choked out sob. He was trying to stop the tears from falling, trying to reign in his emotions and choke down the sobs that were slowly destroying his composure. But it was impossible-he couldn't keep them down no matter how hard he tried.

"P-please...don't go…" Eren cried.

"Eren, I have to," Levi said with a sigh.

The younger shook his head again, curling further into himself and falling into Levi's chest, clutching his shirt like a lifeline and spilling tears all over it. Levi frowned, heart clenching again as he saw how broken his absence was making his lover. He brought Eren in for a searing hug, which only seemed to succeed in making the brunette cry and whimper further. He held him tighter.

"I'm sorry, Eren. Please don't cry," Levi wiped more tears from his lover's face. "There's nothing we can do about it. Everything will be fine."

The younger sniffled and buried his face into Levi's chest. Levi held him close, allowing his spouse to snuggle into him, head on his chest, arms around his waist, and legs intertwined as he clung desperately to him, hoping he wouldn't leave him sooner than he had to. He rubbed Eren's back in soothing circles, breathing evenly and speaking soft, calming words into his hair. His sobs quickly lessened, but they didn't stop. Eren continued to cry quietly in Levi's arms, pressing his ear to his lover's chest, trying to listen to the man's heartbeat.

Levi realized what he was trying to do. He gently pried one of Eren's hands from his hip, guiding it carefully until it rested upon his chest, over his heart. Eren choked out a sob, his eyes shutting tight to squeeze out the tears blossoming in them. Levi held him there, holding his hand over his heart and allowing his lover to feel the rise and fall of his calm breathing.

"I'm alive, Eren," Levi whispered to him, nuzzling his hair, "And as long as you're here, I always will be…"

Eren nodded into his chest, sniffling and whimpering. He was clutching Levi's shirt again as he hovered his hand over his even heartbeat.

"I love you, Eren."

He felt the younger male swallow hard, gasping as he tried to catch his breath and slow his tears.

"I will always love you," Levi kissed Eren's lips slowly, breathing into him and helping him to breathe evenly.

"I l-love y-ou too...I-I…" he drifted off.

Levi reached out for Eren, lifting his chin carefully and pecking his lips again sweetly. He stared deep into the teen's red-rimmed teal eyes, locking them in place so that he could convey his love through him. He wiped the tears from his eyes, and gave him a sincere smile-one that made Eren catch his breath.

"Do you know when the happiest day of my life was?" he asked quietly, giving Eren a pinch on his thigh.

Eren chuckled a bit through his tears, "N-no. When?"

Levi smirked, "The day I married you."

Eren's cheeks bloomed bright red and he turned his eyes down bashfully.

"R-really?"

Levi kissed his brow.

"Really. Do you remember that day?"

Levi was proud of himself as a sweet grin split his lover's trembling lips. He remembered that day-of course he did. There was no way he would ever be able to forget the butterflies that had filled his stomach, and the perpetual warmth he felt in his cheeks, and especially the image of his Levi, standing at the altar, eyes locked on him. He would never forget the love that filled that day. It was what had led them to this point afterall...

. . .

Eren ran a hand through his hair nervously as he paced around the room Hanji had forced him into. Her claim had been that he wasn't allowed to see Levi until they were married. He breathed in a shaky breath at the thought.

It had already been established when they had gotten engaged that their wedding wouldn't be anything big. Just a private and secret little thing at headquarters with a hearty feast and perhaps some dancing after. Though Erwin didn't seem to care, others in the military would say their relationship was against the law - even if Eren was of legal age and making his own decision.

Given that fact, it was also decided that Erwin would be the one to wed them. He had managed to get a license to do so and thus made things easier for them. Especially as they were keeping things as under wraps as possible.

All those little plans had brought them to the day, and Eren couldn't stop the jitters he felt. His stomach and heart were leaping within him; out of excitement or nervousness, he wasn't sure. He would finally be able to call Levi his husband, that was something that kept repeating itself in his mind.

Hanji crept in the room without his knowledge and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

He shrieked and whipped around in bewilderment, then embarrassment. "Don't sneak up on me Hanji," he whined.

She laughed at him and patted his hand, "Oh calm down love bird, you're way too uptight for getting married here in a few minutes."

It was suddenly hard to swallow as he processed her words. "It's… t-they're ready?"

"Yup, all the prep is complete, now we just need the bride! Errr… other groom?" She scratched a bit at her head, "Huh, I'll have to figure that one out. Anyways, we're ready for you!"

Eren heaved a few shallow breaths, glancing over his outfit. His hands were shaking, his heart was thumping loudly, his stomach was flip flopping.

A warm hand rested gently against his cheek, "Hey."

He looked to his friend with a flighty gaze.

"It'll be okay, Levi is there waiting for you. He's ready, you're ready. You both look great and all our friends are there to see this union." Her smile was borderline motherly, "You can do this, Eren."

Her words rang true. He faced titans and death regularly, so facing his fiance was no big thing. They would meet, exchange words and vows and that would be it - they would be married. He managed a small smile of his own. "Thanks," he said weakly.

Hanji straightened his collar and jacket, brushing off imaginary dust.

He had been dressed in all white - white button down, white jacket, white pants. On the suit jacket's pocket, a single red rose had been pinned. He hoped he looked presentable. Especially since Levi always looked so sharp when dressed up.

"Ready, my little titan?"

The question caught him off guard. Eren blinked and then nodded hesitantly. I can do this, he told himself, Levi is waiting for me.

The scientist grinned madly, "Good, because Levi will be mad if you're late. He's practically sweating up there already!"

Eren gulped at the thought but allowed himself to be led away. Hanji led him slowly to the room, chuckling as he tried to keep his breathing even. It was hardly possible, he just couldn't keep his breaths steady. He was too nervous-too excited.

They reached a closed door, the sound of low murmuring coming from inside. Eren could easily make out Connie, Jean and Sasha. There were several others he recognized as well. He heaved in a shaky breath, looking over anxiously to his companion.

"You can do this," she assured him softly, reaching forward and opening the door. She entered first, knowing he would follow if she did.

Eren entered shyly, eyes downcast towards the floor as he walked forward. With a deep breath, he raised his gaze and immediately choked up.

Levi stood at the far end of the room beside Erwin, looking at him with mild shock in his gray orbs. He had a white button down, black jacket and black pants, and a matching red rose on his suit pocket. He caught his gaze and offered a small smile-one meant and set aside just for him. He looked so overwhelmingly handsome in that moment, leaving Eren to question just how he had ended up with this perfect man as his fiance. Levi honestly complimented him so much-they balanced each other so perfectly.

Tears blurred his vision as he slowly but surely made his way forward. He couldn't believe they had actually gotten to this point. His steps faltered halfway to his partner, tears streaming down his face. A warm hand touched his for a brief second, then an arm hooked around his and tugged him gently forward. It spurred him from his daze, and he glanced quickly to his right to see Mikasa leading him slowly down the aisle.

Wordlessly she led him the rest of the way, her arm reassuring around his. She kissed his cheek when they arrived at the altar and after a momentary glare at Levi, placed his hands into the older male's.

Levi's hands were strong and supportive. Eren managed to raise his eyes and give his lover a wet smile.

The raven returned it and cupped his cheek in a delicate manner. "Look at what a mess you are already," he chided softly. He pulled out a handkerchief he had stashed in his pocket and wiped at his lover's cheeks. As he did, he tossed a quick look at Erwin, wordlessly telling him to go ahead.

Eren could hardly hear any of the words Erwin was saying over the thundering of his own heart. He clutched tightly at his lover's hands, trying desperately not to faint. He felt his teal eyes glazing over with dreaminess as he stared deeply into the gray irises of his lover. Looking into them, he found the strength he needed to stay sane.

"Levi, take Eren's ring and put it on his finger, then repeat after me," Erwin instructed.

He scooped up the silver ring from his superior's hold and gently worked it onto Eren's finger. "Eren," he said, repeating the words spoken to him, "take this ring as a symbol of both my love for you, and the vow that I make on this day. With it…" Levi paused and looked to the blonde officiator, "Can I say my own thing? That's so fucking cheesy."

Erwin rolled his eyes but nodded.

He turned his gaze back to his lover, "Eren, I just want this to be your constant reminder that I'm not going anywhere, no matter what shit we may go through. You managed to enter my life and I'm sure as hell not letting you go now."

Eren gave a wet laugh in response, completely desensitized to his partner's blunt way of speaking. Levi's eyes lit up with happiness, seeing his lover giggle so giddily.

"And now you, Eren."

His shaky hands could hardly hold the ring as he moved it to Levi's finger. More tears came to his eyes when he realized how big this was - what a huge step for them both. They had been through so much together...and now they would go through so much more, together, as a unit.

"L-Levi," he managed to repeat after the Commander, "take this ring as a symbol of both my love for you, and the v-vow that I make on this day. With it, know that.." He swallowed around the lump in his throat, "know that I willingly and wholeheartedly m-make this commitment to you." He heaved a few breaths before he was able to continue, "O-Our bond made this day will be unbreakable and last a lifetime. From now, I s-so pledge myself to you."

Erwin couldn't stop a smile, "As the officiator, I ask that anyone against this union speak now or forever hold their peace."

Silence took the room.

He nodded in approval, "Good. Anyone against this can get eaten by a titan."

Everyone gave a laugh at that, except for Levi who naturally rolled his eyes.

"So, without further ado," he continued after a moment, "I so pronounce you a married couple. Mr. and... Mr. Ackerman I suppose."

The words ghosted right over the couple's heads however as Levi leaned in and kissed his newly dubbed husband gently. The small crowd erupted in cheers and catcalls as they kissed, only getting louder when Levi dipped Eren backwards, supporting him carefully in his arms as he deepened the kiss. It was probably longer than was usually acceptable at weddings, but everyone was so happy for the couple that no one cared. Their love was contagious, and anyone who knew them couldn't help but feel their hearts pound happily in their chests for the new married couple's union. Levi was satisfied when he pulled back, finding his spouse giving him a blinding smile, even with tears trickling down his face.

"I love you, L-Levi," he blubbered suddenly, bringing him in for a tight embrace.

The older male chuckled lowly, "Love you too, Eren."

The younger attacked him with a hug, pulling him close and giggling happily into the ravenette's shoulder. Levi held him, unable to keep his smile to himself this time as he grinned blindly at his husband's antics.

. . .

"That was the happiest I've ever been," Levi admitted quietly, leaving a butterfly-like kiss on his husband's lips.

Eren blushed and sniffled into his husband's shoulder, "M-me too…"

Levi smirked and nuzzled his nose into Eren's messy chocolate locks. He rubbed a hand over the man's protruding stomach in soothing circles, sighing when Eren responded by lacing his fingers with his. Their conjoined hands laid carefully on their baby's residence, allowing the gentle movements from within to fill their hearts with much needed joy.

"And soon, that will change," Levi said.

Eren looked up at him curiously, "How so?"

Levi's lips quirked up a bit and he patted Eren's stomach.

"Because when this baby is born, we will have another day that will be the happiest day of ours lives."

Eren smiled, making Levi feel prideful in seeing his lover's mood turned around, if only by a bit.

"I really hope so," the brunette murmured.

Endnote:

Well, I hope you enjoyed that last bit of fluffy sanity, because it's gonna get a lot worse before you get some nice baby fluff my friends. Don't kill us, and just maybe we won't kill Levi ;) JUST KIDDING THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN BUT STILL SHITS GOING DOWN SOON.

Sorry~ Have a nice day
