Levi's Wedding Day
Eren's POV
"You may now Kiss the bride." Levi pulls Akiko by her waist, kissing his now wife. The whole church echos with applause, as Levi pulls back with a smirk of pride plastered on his face.

Half of Paradis showed up for a wedding they planned in a week. Im certain Historia hired the best so he didn't have to lift a finger. Although, I heard from Armin that the counsel insisted on participating to the funds for his 'excellent work in Historia's stead.'

Its the only thing that can explain the random guest list, considering Akiko doesn't know many people from around here and Levi barely likes us around.

Shifting my weight, the pew creeks as connie leans in from the seats behind me "Is it me, or is it weird to see Levi kiss someone." He whispers to Armin and I under the clapping.

"Now that I think of it, Ive never seen Levi Kiss Akiko." Armin adds

"Even short Demons know how to kiss." I joke, forcing everyone to hold back their laughter. We watch the happy couple walk down the aisle along with the children filing off the stage behind them.

Suddenly I hear crackles of electric sparks.Assuming the worse, that the noise came from the twins, I look at them for signs of transformation. Instead of a titan, I am met with their smiling faces, genuinely enjoying a crowd of eyes on them. With the noise leaving my ears, I relax with the idea it came from my PTSD.

While watching, Kineth passes my view with the look of discomfort. The poor kid is the only normal one of the bunch who understood what happened when the Reds came. He's witnessed the cruelty of war and understands it enough to know being surrounded by people you don't know will never comfortable again.

With the ceremony ending, we follow behind to throw an abundant amount of flower petals for them to enter the carriage to the reception.

Their reception is being moved to the Castles Ballroom, that hasn't been used since before the rumbling. It's evident that the cream colored walls and the glossy wooden floors are new, considering I destroyed this part of the castle personally.

With round tables surrounding the dance floor, Levi and Akiko sit at the head of the room with Akiko's mother, his family, our children and Soairsa included "Can someone please tell me how all your kids managed to sit at the table but none of us?" Jean refers to Soairsa and the twins, holding his glass for the servant to pour wine.

"Honestly, all you guys do is complain. Just enjoy the day." Historia says with a somber tone. Mikasa gives her a worried look, but its to be expected when planning a war against her husband.

Connie leans his elbows on the table, "why do you think he pushed up the wedding date? You think Akiko's pregnant?"

Jean clicks his tongue in disagreement"You still have no respect for women and their beautiful baby creating bodies." He points his glass towards Akiko "with how tight her dress is, its obviously not the case."

Mikasa and Historia's eyes darken with discussed "Perv..." they say in unison. Not wanting to get involved I take a long sip of my water, catching a glimpse of Armin playing with Aurora on Annies lap.

"wait im not a...." With Liz in between connie and jean, she moves her chair towards connie "Not you too Liz! I was just pointing out her beauty!" He whines to defend himself.

Connie laughs "You really did cross that pervert line. I might have to tell Levi to keep her away from you."

"Shut up! You might get me killed"Jean and connie bicker back and forth, throughout the dinner portion, for the next hour.
