Y/N had never imagined it was possible to be so happy. Yet she was overjoyed. Happiness is delectable, beautiful, and blissful. She, her father, glided across the ballroom in her prince's arms, free and safe. Armin and Annie were dancing nearby, which she noticed. Historia was dancing with her husband, Ymir, and Levi was standing with his mother. Mikasa and the diva, Y/N's former closet, were both present. She waltzed happily with her maestro. This, Y/N thought as she gazed around the room, is my family.
Her eyes met Eren's penetrating green ones as she raised her head. He smiled down at her, and she felt the familiar warmth of love spread across her entire body, from her toes to the tips of her ears. She had grown to love Prince Eren more and moreover the past few weeks as she watched him accept the life that had been denied him for so long.
As he swung her around, she thought to herself, I'm living my own adventure. She'd made a life for herself outside of the village, and there were still so many places to see and things to do. Furthermore, she had found a travel companion, a companion with whom she could share all of these adventures. And there is nothing else I could possibly want. With one exception...
Eren stared at her, his eyes narrowed with concern, as he felt Y/N tense in his arms. He said, "Y/N... tell me what you're thinking?"
As Eren's face became more concerned, Y/N took a moment to consider her answer and tried not to smile. She then slid her hand down his smooth jaw, reaching up. "Do you think you'd like to grow a beard?"
Eren dragged Y/N closer with a roar of laughter. His gaze met hers, and he nodded, an unspoken pledge to always strive to be the best version of himself, the version she believed was possible before e=he arrived. Then he kissed her, leaning in close. The world melted away as she closed her eyes and surrendered to the beauty of the kiss until it felt as though it was just the two of them, wrapped up in an age-old tale. Y/N considered the future: the reading lessons she might teach in the castle library for all of the village students, the traveling she and Eren would schedule, and the friendships she and Eren would develop with those in the castle. Once upon a time, there was a story that began and ended happily ever after, as Y/N understood.
