Levi never thought he'd see this day, he doubted this day would ever come. Erwin drones about Humanity winning and other shit, but he doesn't listen. All he can do is smile, because they've finally won.
"Levi?" It's strange hearing her use his name in public, but her voice is music to his ears.
"Petra!" He searches for her copper hair, and once he spots her, he runs. He runs despite how every muscle in his body aches, despite how unprofessional this is. The two collide into each other, embracing as if they hadn't seen each other in years. They laugh, awkward but joyful for they survived.
"Hey L," Petra whispers, slowly touching her forehead to his. Hazel eyes glitter with excitement. "We did it!"
"We did it!" He repeats, unable to wipe the grin off his face. "We did it!"
Levi feels the presence of others watching them, but he doesn't care. They can go fuck themselves because all he can think about is the woman he adores is standing before him.
"Petra," He's being stupid and reckless, but he can't stop himself. "Marry me,"
"I will Levi," He can tell she relishes saying his name like that now. "I will."
Joy like never before overtakes him, and Levi spins Petra around in the air before pulling her in for a kiss. It's messy and careless, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I love you," Gray eyes shine like silver. "I. Love. You." He punctures every word with a kiss and hopes soon he'll be able to do this everyday.
