YEAGER.

Chapter 15: Graduation

No words bestie, just thank you for the immense support <3

"Eren, this dress is a little snug...can you help me zip up, please?", you whined to a naked Eren who'd just gotten out the shower. He adorned his body with a towel wrapped around his waist , water droplets falling slowly and bouncing off the skin. He walked into your bedroom and stood a few steps behind you, looking at your exposed back and cute red thong. You could feel him staring. With one quick movement, you look at him and narrow your eyes. "Eren Jeager, don't you even think about-"

"Yes, Mrs. Jeager?", he asked with a puckish grin on his face. You stutter out something inaudible, blushing in surprise while his hands grab at the side of your hips, pulling  you closer into his naked chest. Your hands planted themselves on his chest for balance, although he'd never let you fall. "Today is the day...I'm a bit nervous, honestly...thought we'd never make it-"

"-But!", Eren interrupted. "Now you're in this cute dress ready to receive a diploma. And I'll be right there, receiving mine. We came so far baby--no turning back now. So relax...", he said, lips placing a soft kiss on your temple. The two of you shared a moment of silence coupled in each others embrace, the past years events flashing through your mind, down to last night's moment with Armin.

That'd be the one thing that you kept to yourself. 

From Armin's demeanor, he felt the same way. The finality of that moment, the end...it was something that wouldn't benefit Eren to know, and wouldn't hurt him if he did it. Were you the villain? Slowly throughout this year is seemed as if you had become one. It wasn't your fault though, none of it was. You'd suffer your years of hell with Kyland, dealt with the slow breaking of your friendship with Kelis. But you weren't totally the victim. Sleeping with Armin was a mix of passion, curiosity, and revenge for the things Eren did with Mikasa known and unknown. 

Kyland's kill haunted you, but the thing that scared you the most was how good his blood felt in your hands. Fernanda lied to you, and she'd been doing it for a minute, you weren't in a place to forgive her or anyone. If you were the villian, fuck it. All you ever wanted was to be happy in the end.

Eren wasn't one that was quick to be hopeful, and up until this moment he held his breath, waiting for something to go wrong. Besides BigShot and Connie, all other things worked to his favor. When it came to Connie, Eren did what he could, but he warned BigShot to strap up, just in case. Eren didn't think that Connie would be that stupid on Graduation Day, but Eren couldn't be too sure. Connie was a straight shooter (no gun), and so Eren would probably get a mouthful from him after the fact. However, not much mattered once the both of you graduated. The plan was already in full effect, apartments closed on, and that ring BigShot referred to...yeah, he had that too.

Eren let out a deep sigh and you looked up, puckering your lips as he met them with his own, closing the gap. "I love you.", he uttered against your lips. "You'd better." you responded quietly, tone laced in  playfulness as he kissed you again. You gripped his jaw, pulling him even closer if it was even possible to you, falling deeper into the passionate side of your lip locked embrace. You finally felt it, the tides of change turning, and the glimmer of the future. Sure, Eren was planning slight genocide, but it was a natural one, with drugs, and the end goal was to eliminate the hypocrites in Marley, the higher-ups to pay. You'd have your karma too, you'd come to terms with it, but none of that would matter when you and Eren came out on top. Once you were able to complete the plan and retire that life, you'd start a family with Eren, and not a moment sooner.
