"February 2nd, 3:18 p.m."

"Daddy, look! Look Mommy got me!" She yelled, running into the commons with a bundle of cloth in her arms. He looked over, pausing his conversation to acknowledge his daughter.

"What'd Mommy get you?" He asked, bending his knees to get to her height.

"Look!" She giggled and shoved the unknown cloth into his arms. He laughed and unravelled it to see a little dress her size. It was a poofy pastel pink dress with yellow, cyan, and light purple designs across the bottom.

"Wow, Mommy got you a very pretty dress, didn't he?"

"Wan' it on! Help it on Daddy! Pleeeeaaasssee?"

He smiled and chuckled.

"Okay, I'll help." He told her, picking her up and sitting her on his hip. He excused himself from the soldier he was talking to and took the girl to the bathroom, since it was just a change of clothes.

He took her onesie off and put the dress over her head, slipping her arms through. Once it was on her, he fixed the bottom layer and stepped back to look at her. He smiled widely and gave her two thumbs up.

"Like it?" She asked. He laughed and nodded.

"Yes, very much. You look like so adorable!"

Her eyes widened, and she giggled, spinning around in it and making it poof out.

"Look, Daddy! Like 'pincess' (princess)!"

"Yes, it is like a princess. You're Daddy's little princess, aren't you, mamas?"

She nodded and laughed, holding her arms up for him to pick her up. He did, letting her sit on his shoulders, and ducked out the door. She laughed and giggled as he walked around the place with her. When they reached the mess hall, where Armin was, she asked Eren to set her down (and he did). She ran over to the blonde and pulled on his shirt to get his attention.

"What's wron- Oh, it looks so cute on you, Tilly!" He exclaimed and smiled. She looked adorable, and the colors made her eyes pop.

"Like its colors, Mommy."

"You like the colors?"

"Mhm! Tank you Mommy. I like it." She giggled and climbed onto the bench next to him.

"I'm glad you like it, babygirl. You look beautiful."

She laid her head against his chest and smiled.

"Mama, can you pway now?"

Armin smiled sadly and shook his head.

"No, not yet lovie. But, I'll try to get done early for you, okay?"

She cheered and hugged him. Her arms weren't able to wrap around him, making Armin and Eren laugh. And Armin, not knowing that the other was there, turned to look at him, surprised. But his face softened at the sight of him.

"Hey, Eren."

The brunette smiled and bent down to lay his head on his shoulder, tucking his face into the blonde's neck. Armin smiled and reached his hand up to run through his hair, the other hand holding Mathilda to him.

"I find Auntie Mika? Wan' show her!"

Armin nodded and pointed out her table. He watched her run over with her arms out, shouting 'Mika, Mika!' while Eren followed behind her.
