Chapter 1

                             New Beginnings
We  all are back from our trip to Barcelona and get back to Eren's house. I was still in the clouds about the proposal. Armin takes everyone's bags inside, setting them right next to the couch. "We could've helped, you know. You always try to do everything yourself." Eren says as he closed the door behind him. I sit on the crowded couch and kick my shoes off. "I know but it honestly wasn't that much."

'That much'. 5 suitcases and 6 other bags. "Okay Armstrong. Let us help next time." I grab his arm and pull him to the couch. "I missed this couch. I missed the house too. It was only 6 days but it felt like forever." I rest my head on his lap, warming up quickly. Eren moves the suitcases and bags to the laundry room, trying to sort out what's dirty. "Z, I'm happy you're happy to be in my house, but can I please get a little help?" He yells from the next few rooms over. I sigh and walk over to the laundry, looking at the mess he created. "It hasn't even been 5 minutes. Why are you so worried about this right now? You should be showering and getting to bed. It's already late as it is."

"You sound like my mom. I don't know, I just didn't want this stuff sitting out." He stands up and wraps his arms around my waist. "Would you mind...starting a shower for me? I'd really appreciate it." His eyes were low like he was falling asleep mid sentence. "As long as you go to bed right after your finished." I kiss his forehead and make way for the bathroom, turning on a warm shower. While I'm in there, I change into my hello kitty pajama pants I left sitting on the sink before we left. "Come on Eren, the waters warm already." His heavy feet arrive slowly. "Thank you baby. I'll see you in a bit." He starts to strip and I close the door behind him.

"Now, a little me and you time my dear." I take Armin's hand and walk into Eren's room. "Change first. You know how he gets about dirty clothes in the bed." He laughs and takes off his pants and shirt, not changing into anything. "Promiscuous tonight? Aren't you tired?"

"Says the one in a bra and pants that make every inch of you look delicious. Come lay down with me." He always knew what to say to rub me the right way. I pull the covers down and scoot right up and close to Armin. "I still can't believe what happened. I'm so grateful my love, truly." Lighting touching his face, I move it downwards, kissing his lips softly. "I'm grateful to be marrying such beautiful people." This was never something i could imagine. Eren, my ex enemy is now my future husband? It was a crazy story, even for me. "I love you Armin. So much."

"I love you too gorgeous." He wraps his arms tightly around me. I feel a wave of sleepiness hit and start to yawn. "You're tired. Go to sleep. It's been a long last few days for all of us."

"Make sure to leave Eren some room as well. You know how he gets." My eyes start to close as Armin's voice fades off. "You know, I always wondered why Eren always took so long to shower. Then he gets all upset when there's no room." No response. He wasn't lying when he said I was tired. He chuckles as he leaves the perfect kiss on my forehead.

Not too long after, Eren walks into the room freshly washed, smelling like cedar wood and cinnamon. "No room for me again?"

"There's enough on the other side of them. Get comfy, I'm turning the lights off." He makes his way into the bed, getting under the covers and laying his hand over my waist. "Goodnight Armin. I know you'll be sleeping good."

"And why is that?"

"Because you have her sleeping closer to you." He lays down and closes his eyes, making sure he couldn't see the smug expression on Armin's face.

Sunday morning

Sun is shining brightly through the curtains and the birds are chirping louder than the lawnmower. Eren is up first this time. 7am on the dot. He brushes his teeth and fixes up his hair to get ready for the gym. "Why are you up already? You usually sleep until 10."
