Welcome to Our Life

Chapter 18

I do not own Attack on Titan or any of the characters mentioned.

(Levi P.O.V.)
I stood in front of the body mirror that was on the back of my bedroom door. My eyes were fixed onto my appearance. I was wearing the suit that I had rented and some black dress shoes that were onyx polished. On my right breast there was a red rose pinned into my vest. In all, I looked good. Well, as good as I think I can look. I didn't do anything to my hair because it was fine in its usual undercut and bangs that hung in my face.

Eren and the others would be here soon so I checked myself one more time before going downstairs. If there was one thing I was actually looking forward to at the dance it would be Eren and I slow dancing. Even though I was still a little shaky with dancing I was getting better. Eren promised to catch me if I fell, which I thought was sweet but yet very embarrassing.

I heard a car horn from outside so I quickly put on a jacket and went out to meet them. Eren was standing in his suit leaning against the car. I walked up to him and smiled.

Eren was wearing his suit with the same rose pinned to his right breast like mine. His hair on the other hand wasn't its usual untouched shaggy mess, it was actually brushed back to show his forehead. He had two strings of hair on both sides hanging down above his eyebrows. It was a foreign look but man it was sexy.

"Merde, vous êtes beau."

(A/N: 'Merde, vous êtes beau' translates to 'Fuck, you're handsome.')

"Vous ne regardez pas si mauvais vous." He answered in fluent French which made me want to giggle like a school girl but I knew I would embarrass myself enough tonight so I held it back.

(A/N: 'Vous ne regardez pas si mauvais vous' translates to 'You don't look so bad yourself.')

"Would you two quit with the gibberish and get the hell in!" Jean yelled from the window. I did not know he was coming. He said the week before that he was going to stay at Marco's place. Who's Marco, you ask? Marco is Jean's boyfriend who is a grade lower than us. I met him on a few occasions. He's usually a quiet and nice kid with dark hair and a bunch of freckles. Hence why we call him Freckled Jesus.

"I thought you were going to stay at Marco's." I stated and slid into the car.

Jean sighed. "The poor guy ate some bad food and got food poisoning, he didn't want me getting sick so he told me to go to the dance."

I nodded in understanding. It makes sense. Marco doesn't like to hold people back or cause trouble. Knowing Jean, he must have tried to convince Marco to let him stay but failed and had to come to the dance to pass time.

After we all got settled in the car, Erwin pulled out of my driveway. The roads were clear tonight so we would arrive at the dance early.

"Levi?" Eren asked and poked my shoulder.

"Hm?" I gave him my full attention and watched him pull out a black velvet case.

"I wanted to give you something, it was given to me by my mother, she told me to give it to the person who I love." He opened the case to reveal a necklace that had a half green, half grey pendant on a silver chain. He reached behind my neck and clipped the necklace together. It fell to the top of my collar bone. I examined the pendant with great and utter fascination. I then looked back to him.

"It's gorgeous, thank you."

"You're welcome."

"You guys are the cheesiest couple ever!" Armin yelled from the passenger seat.

"Cheesy is good." Eren said with a deadpanned look. I laughed out loud because it really didn't suit him at all.

"Eren, leave the sour faces to Levi." Connie said from beside us.

"Fuck off, Springer." I said giving him the finger.

I wasn't always sour. Was I? No. Maybe? I don't know, anyways we pulled into the school parking lot and got out of the car. The air had warmed at little so I took off my jacket and left it in the car. Once I closed the door Eren grabbed my hand and walked me to the gymnasium.

The gym was huge just like the school. It wasn't to packed considering we were early but there was still a lot of people. Eren squeezed my hand because he knew I got uncomfortable in big crowds.

"Just stay by my side, you will be okay." I nodded.

We walked over to the corner of the room where Mikasa, Petra, and Hanji were.

"You guys made it!" Hanji squealed and jumped on me.

"Fuck, shitty Four-Eyes, get off of me you're heavy."

"Rude." she said and got off while grabbing Petra's hand and running to the dance floor.

I sighed and turned my attention to the others. Mikasa and Jean were engaging in conversation, Erwin and Armin had left to go dance with Hanji and Petra, and Connie was at the food table trying to get Sasha away before she could eat it all.

I looked to Eren who was grinning in amusement as Hanji was making Petra do the waltz to the song 'This Girl is On Fire.' I laughed as Petra was swung every which way.

The song ended and Hanji dipped Petra. Those two were a good pair. A new song started to play and look at my luck, it was a slow song. I could practically feel Eren's grin. Said person stepped in front of me and offered his hand.

"May I have this dance?"

I hesitantly took his hand and let him lead me to the dance floor. A lot of people had left to settle down after the song before so there were only a few of us. I smiled as I felt Eren's arms drape around my waist. He pulled me close and just started to sway with me. The song set the perfect mood, it was 'Fall For You' by Secondhand Serenade.

"Eren?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm happy."

He looked down at me with a small smile and leaned down. He kissed me in the middle of the dance floor. We heard some 'aww's and some wolf whistles but chose to ignore them. There was absolutely nothing that could ruin this moment.

We pulled away reluctantly. "I love you so much." He whispered in my ear.

"I love you too." I said quietly.

We continued to slow dance even though the song changed to a much faster one. Right now neither of us cared as long as we were still together.
