Thirteenth Chapter : Cherish

EREN JAEGER'S POV

A very heavy and deep sigh escaped my lips as I lovingly stared at the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

And of course, the only woman I will love for this lifetime and what comes after.

Those lashes that she always bat if she wants something, and I would always provide her her whims. Those cute pointy nose that she scrunch everytime she smells my sweat after training, and I would always laugh at how lovely she is.

Those two argentine orbs that glints with confidence and eagerness, and I would always prais her for them. Those eyes also shines when I bring her food, though.

And then, my eyes went down on her lips that were literally screaming for me to kiss them. I smiled.

Everytime those lips would mouth 'I love you' at me, I would always be reminded that I love her too, more than anything and anyone else in this cruel world we are in.


I leaned in to place a peck against her seductive, red lips, and as much as I want to make love to her again, she needs some rest too and I didn't want to wake her up.

This beautiful and courageous woman . . . is, and will always be mine.

And she is my everything.  She's my happiness and my source of strength, she's my anchor and my queen.


She's my resolve and my very own fear. Because again, this woman is my everything.


But the fact that my days are already counted sucks real bad. I smiled sadly as I caressed her cheek. "I'm sorry that you have to lose me too, baby." I whispered, my voice cracking.


God knows how much I wanted to be with this woman forever. To just kiss her and comfort her everytime she cries, just like last night.

To make love to her until her legs give out.

She was right when she said that the world was so unfair to her and to everybody else. Eversince she was a kid, she was already in pain.

I thought that I could save her from her own misery but I never thought I would be the one who will bring her the greatest misery in her already fucked up life.

I smiled when she started moving. I thought she was going to wake up now but all she did was to nuzzle into my neck. Her actions made laugh in a low voice.

I'll miss these cute actions of hers. And with that, I closed my eyes again.

I chuckled bitterly as a single tear left my eye.


Thirteen years to spend my life with this beautiful lady. Thirteen years to make good and bad memories with her, because sadly, we'll only have thirteen years to cherish.


I just hope that those thirteen years will be enough. Because if it's not, then I don't know what will happen to my fucked up soul anymore.

"I'll love you forever, my love."
