-some hours later-
you were sitting by the sea, watching as most of them had fun. you held armin's seashell in your hands, along with the smaller one eren gave you. the boy sat next to you, his brown locks blowing in the wind.
"eren..."
"hm?"
"i'm scared" you said, staring at the seashells in your hands.
"what for?"
"the future"
he stayed silent, making you turn your head to look at him.
"how bad is it...?"
"y/n... you don't want to know" he said, his eyebrows furrowing.
"i don't want to know, but i don't want you to bear all this alone!"
"i want you to live without knowing what's coming next"
"yes, you'll get sad and yes, you'll cry but wouldn't it be worse if you knew?" he added.
"is it really inevitable?"
"i hope it's not"
you stayed silent, contemplating whether to ask him what you wanted or not. you took a deep breath and looked far in the distance;
"have you seen... us?"
"no... at least not much! i only saw random pictures that make zero sense right now"
"i'm sorry, y/n, but i really don't want to know our future..."
"i understand! don't worry" you said, smiling at him.
you reached your hand to hold his, softly caressing the top of it.
"i want you to know that no matter what happens and no matter what you'll have to do, i'll still love you. even if you turn against me, i won't stop loving you"
you could see eren's eyes welcoming the watery sparkle, before he wrapped his arms around you.
you rested your head on his shoulder, while his tears stained your shirt. you stayed silent as you held him, providing him the comfort he wanted.
