epilogue

And that's what you did. You finished the expedition and killed as many titans as you could. You'd seen Isabel and Furlan get killed, their facial expressions would always be burned into your mind. With every titan you killed, you avenged their deaths.

Once you returned from the expedition, you asked Erwin to grant you a room for yourself, away from the other Scouts. In return, you became his second hand.

Levi stayed in your room with you. He was okay with the fact that the both of you decided to stay in the Survey Corps.

Over the next few months after the expedition, you spent a lot more time with Erwin to actually get to know him. He explained how he assumed you were brought to the underground city and told you about your biological family.

He once asked you if you regretted growing up in the underground. You didn't know if he expected a yes or a no, but you immediately answered with no.

If you'd grown up on the surface, there was a possibility you would have died on an expedition before you had the chance to meet Levi. Erwin nodded before smiling.

His urge to protect you from harm was unimaginable. If you weren't dating Levi already, he probably would have had a boys talk with you.

One night, you were laying in bed with Levi. The both of you were just talking. His insomnia had gotten worse in the last couple of days and you wanted to be there for him.

"Levi?" you asked, receiving a hum. You looked up at him as his eyes fixed on yours. "Let's get married." you suggested. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah. After Furlan and Isabel died, I realized just how easy it is to get killed. I don't want to die having to regret I never married the love of my life." you spoke.

He smiled at you, one of the smiles even you rarely got to see. "Okay, let's get married."

So that's what you did. You got married to the love of your life two months after your first expedition in the Survey Corps. You and Levi always protected each other, during every crisis you faced.

Even after everything that happened with Eren, you still loved each other unconditionally. It stayed that way until the both of you died from old age, decades after you'd gotten married.
