VERY VERY SHORT SORRY😩

Your POV

It's been three years since Eren died, and we're on a boat heading back to the island. Armin just finished reading a letter that was from Historia.

Speaking of Armin, we've been dating for the past three years ever since we camped out after the battle.

Reiner bought the letter up to his face, sniffing it. "I never get tired of Historia's beautiful handwriting. It even smells nice." He closed his eyes.

"How many times do I have to tell you to not lust after a married woman? Creep..." Jean commented as he fixed his hair in the mirror.

"You seem awfully concerned about how your hair looks yourself, Jean." Pieck said. "Trying to look good for someone?"

"For all the girls who ever open a history textbook." Jean replied.

Reiner chuckled. "Don't you mean a field guide to horses?" He joked.

"It's a damn shame you got a new lease on life, Reiner."

Annie walked in the room. "Paradis is within sight now." She said. "Armin. Do you really think this is going to work...?"

"We destroyed the walls. We betrayed the island. We killed Eren, a man revered by the people of Eldia and we're still allied nations' ambassadors for peace talks?"

Pieck let out a sigh. "Personally, I wouldn't be shocked if they sunk our ship right here." She said.

"Believe in Historia." Connie spoke. "Her majesty's first move was to protect Jean's relatives and my mom. I know she'll defend us too."

"Us weak little things..." Annie huffed.

"Annie, conflict will never vanish." Armin said, standing up. "But when they see us all together like this, they'll have to want to know."

We made our way to the outside of the boat. I saw Paradis in the distance.

The same day, we all visited Eren with Mikasa for a while. We all missed them the same, sitting at the tree we all used to hang out at.

Armin and I decided to settle down in Shiganshina, where it all started. We both remember the exact street we met on, and every time we walk past it, it's like I can see my younger self grabbing Armin's hand for the first time. 

I even managed to open up the flower shop. Armin helps a lot there too, but not too much. Mikasa and the others often comes over as well, just to hang out. Overall, I'm... grateful that I knew where the Spencer's were that day, or else I wouldn't have met him. 

I'm grateful.

(IF YOU DON'T WANNA HAVE CHILDREN THEN DON'T READ THIS NEXT PART, IT'S NOT A SMUT LOL)

It's now the year 861. Today, we're heading to Eren's grave with Mikasa and the others, along with a new family member.

Athena Arlert.

I still go by Y/n, so I decided to give her my old name I barely even used.

She's currently two years old. Her eyes were the shape as Armin's with my eye color. Her blonde hair, coming from Armin. Her skin was a mixture of ours. She's surprisingly very extraverted, which Armin and I find quite funny since we're both introvert mostly. 

She sat between my legs, making flower crowns like I taught her; just how my mom taught me. I watched her as she had flowers between her fingers, tying them in different directions.

Jean always messed with her, and I always think that he's her favorite.

Reiner is the same way, but she prefers Jean more.

Annie usually likes to watch them mess with Athena, laid back.

Mikasa is the same way. She even told me that Athena reminds her of herself when she was little.

Connie was very gentle with her when she was younger, worrying if he was gonna drop her.

...and of course, Armin. He once told me that she reminded him of myself from her eyes, but I told him that I saw him in her by her eye shape and blonde hair. We both jokingly bickered about it for a while, admiring the times we had as kids.

He looked over at Athena and I before I noticed, but he gave me a smile.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Armin."

A/N: I wanna know what you thought of this series! I'm thinking about making an alternate path that's angst, where Armin ends up with Annie. What would you guys think about it?
