My Little Brat

A Question Answered

People gasping and giggles in the background had been drowned out by the loud beating of my own heart. I could hear it pounding I'm my ears, all I could think was, ' He has to say yes. Please say yes. Don't let me down, Eren. ' And yet, his face shifted.

" L-Levi... I-" He started, and my heart stopped beating. " Yes... Of course I will. " Suddenly, his arms were around me the cool metal of the newly placed ring on the back of my neck as his fingers immersed themselves in my hair.

My heart lurched as I gathered him in my own arms, burying my face into him. To show such affection in front of the crowd, which the applauded roared from, would've caused me great embarrassment once, but now was only a way to express my unhindered love for the man in my arms. He was no longer a boy, we were both men, the age difference between us now put to ease, he was only two years younger than me now.

" Thank god... I was a bit worried when you hesitated. " I whispered, then moving to stand, I took his hand and moved back to the chair. " I'm so glad..."

I heard Eren chuckle softly as he gripped my hand. " Why wouldn't I say yes? You're the one I love most. "

I nod, a smile gracing my lips. " And you to me. "

A waitress come. To the edge of the table, smiling brightly. " As congratulations, my manager has offered that you have anything you would like on the menu on the house. "

" Thank you very much, babe, what do you want to get?"

" Chocolate cake?" Eren asked, my head bobbing an approval.

" That'd be lovely. " The waitress nods as well,

" You got it!" She smiles and head back toward the kitchen.

" Been a while since we've been in a situation like this. "

Eren only smiles and replies with, " Yes it has. "

" When do you want the wedding to be? I'm happy with whatever you decide."

" .... Spring. I think it's appropriate, seeing as we got a new start, just as the flowers do in spring. "

My smile only widening, I chuckle. " I agree. "

After the lovely dinner, and gifted dessert, Eren and I had headed back home, smiles plastered on our faces.

And so, the planning begins.
