I really love the picture in the media. I don't know why.

The air was sweet and warm, filled with loud chatter and happy banter as I cleaned down the register table. I heard another ding as the front door opened, bringing in another customer and I quickly serve them, taking their order before making it.

"Let me love." Levi kisses my cheek and goes over to bring the order to the customer as I leaned my elbows on the table, resting my head in my hands as I watched him with a bright smile. I was helping out Levi in his tea shop like I have been doing for the past few years, growing older by each passing day but filled with peace and joy.

Levi walks back up to me and I just smiled, him raising a brow at me as he brushed past me while holding my hips gently. "Why are you smiling like that?" I look over at Levi, still in awe of how handsome he looked despite both of us growing old.

"Nothing. Just staring at my handsome husband." I giggle and Levi playfully pinches my waist and I squeal.

"Really? Cause it seems that my beautiful wife is up to something sneaky." He cheekily smiles down at me before serving another customer that walked into the shop. 

Levi looked so much at ease now, no stress of surviving the next day without being eaten by titans or being at war with another continent. He was finally at peace and I felt the weight of the world fall off my shoulders.

I walk behind him and hug him tightly, burying my head against his back as he made coffee. "What's wrong (y/n)?" Levi asks me, worried but I shake my head.

"I'm just relieved." I feel Levi hold my hands and kiss them gently.

"About?"

"Just you being happy. Are you happy?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Levi turns around in my arms, looking down at me with a slight frown, worry in his eyes. 

"I... I need to know if you're ok Levi. I need to know if-"

"-Of course I'm happy." I freeze as Levi holds my face in his hands. "You make me happy."

"But-"

"-you helped me enjoy life like I never have before. I was willing to go through each day fighting until the day it's over but with you, I'm fighting to survive and be happy." Levi leans his forehead on mine and I realise he was saying those same words back in his office decades ago when I found his journal and the badges of the dead soldiers.
