We're sitting in a small room on a ship that's heading for the island of Paradis. Reiner, Pieck, Annie, Jean, Conny, Armin and I. All headed toward the island that still views us all as the traitors that killed the man that they have based their entire belief system around, Eren Jaeger.
The allied forces thought sending all of us to discuss a peace treaty was a good idea. We have all spent the last three years in Marley, trying to rebuild even a little bit. 80% of the world was trampled in the rumbling, and the effort to try and salvage what was left has been more difficult than anyone could imagine.
"Are you sure this is a good idea Armin?" Annie asks. "We destroyed the walls, you betrayed the island, and we all helped kill Eren, who these people revere. Yet the allied forces sent us?" Conny scoffs from behind her, "C'mon Annie, you didn't really expect to come to the island and make it back home did you?" Annie rolls her eyes. "Well no, but we didn't exactly come here to commit suicide, did we?"
Nobody speaks for a few moments before Armin opens his mouth. "The people of Paradis won't blow us out of the water, at least not yet. They're going to want to hear what we have to say. We can't forget, we're scout regiment-." Annie cuts him off. "But I was military police." "Yeah, and I wasn't even there for any of that." I add. Armin ignores us and Annie and I exchange a secret smile. "Anyways, we're a bunch of dreamers that don't know when to quit, they'll listen. For now."
Paradis island is finally in view, and I watch as my friends stand up and begin to exit the room. Just as I'm about to join them, a voice behind me stops me. "Hold on." Reiner says. I turn around and see Reiner standing there, staring at me. A weird look on his face. I turn to him and raise my eyebrow. I don't notice my friends peaking through the door at us. "Whats up?" I ask.
Reiner sucks in a deep breath, and takes my hand in his. "Whats going on?" I say. Confused by his actions. "Y/N. We both know that the second we step off of this ship we could be blown to bits by whatever they have waiting for us, so I just-." I furrow my brow and turn as I hear Jean scoff from behind me. "Nice one, idiot."
"Guys? What the hell is-." I turn back around and see Reiner, on one knee, looking up at me. My jaw drops and my eyes widen. My heart pounding in my chest. I turn back to my friends, all smiling, I see Pieck wipe a tear from her cheek and then look back at Reiner, nerves covering his face.
"Reiner?" I mutter. "I love you." He starts. "I have loved you my entire life. When I was gone, you were what got my through even my darkest days. Even when we weren't talking for those long 4 years after I came home, I thought of you every day. You are the brightest light in every room you walk into. You're the smartest person I've ever met and you've saved my life more times than even you realize. You are so loved by everyone around you, even the idiots who started out as your enemies." He takes another deep breath, I think I see a tear form in his lash line. "I don't know what the future holds for us, or if we'll even have a future. But I know that I love you, and that with you in my life I want for nothing, so Y/N. Will you please do me the honour of marrying me?"
Tears are falling down my face. "Y- yes." I squeak out. Reiner shakily takes my hand and places a beautiful diamond ring on my finger. He stands up and takes my face in my hands, planting a deep, passionate kiss on my lips. I barely hear the cheers and laughter of our friends as I look into the eyes of the man I've always known I would be with forever. I sniffle. "It was always you, Reiner." I say. He kisses me again and we turn to our friends.
We all exchange hugs and everyone is ecstatic for us. The boat docks and I take Reiners hand in mine, my ring glinting in the sunlight. I take one last look at my friends, at Reiner. Our hands linked together as we walk towards our future.
Together.
