Partnership

Chapter 29: Partnership

Eren's pov:

It was a few weeks since we started working again. Levi and I had finally gotten used to the big house. It looked a lot and was set up a lot like Erwins vacation home. As for the tickets we gave them to Mika and Annie. We also bought tickets for everyone else. Which meant more work for me and Levi to take care of while they left.

I still stopped by the gym whenever I got off early and had my consultation with Levi, he of course found it funny to constantly grope me. How horn can this guy be? We've been doing it almost every day since we got the house and almost everywhere... our last time had been in the hot tub. Embarrassing as it was, it also felt amazing.

"Oi, love how about you meet me up at the tree house tonight around 7." I was finishing up with my consultation and nodded giving him a kiss and grabbing my stuff.
We bought another car in case one of us had to go home early we wouldn't have to wait for the other.

"Want me to cook dinner?" He nodded and shrugged.

"Nothing big, make a couple sandwiches grab some chips and water and we'll have a picnic in the tree house." I nodded and waved heading to the house.

When I got home I showered and threw on a blue exorcist shirt and some jeans as I whipped up our dinner. I made sure to add some fruit to our picnic basket. By the time I finished it was 5:45 I stretched and grabbed the food and water. It would take a while to get there so better now than be late.

I got to the tree house by 6:50 and saw Levi had already beat me there. I smiled and parked next to him. I walked up to the tree house and climbed when I got to the top Levi was sitting on the porch.

"Hey babe, did you wait long?" I kissed his temple and sat next to him.

"Mmh not really I did say 7 after all so you're early" I smiled and nodded.

"So what's the occasion?" I noted his nervousness.

"Nothing brat, just wanted to spend time with the guy I love is that so much to ask. And where's dinner?" I chuckled and shook my head handing him the basket where I packed sandwiches, doritos (his favorite although he won't admit it), water, tea, and a couple of apples and vines of grapes.

We sat in peace looking at the stars and eating our dinner when we were finished Levi stood up and stretched. He pulled me up with him and twirled me around surprising me. I chuckled and walked into his arms placing one hand on his shoulder and one in his awaiting hand.

"Since when have you known how to dance?" He blushed and looked at my chest to avoid eye contact.

"I took classes..." I chuckled and pulled him to face me as I kissed him passionately.

He smiled as he pulled away and held onto my hands.

"Eren...I know we've only been together for about a year but...I know there's noone else that can ever take the place that you've stolen in my heart. We've been through thick and thin together and I almost lost you. I will protect you until my last breath, I will love you like noone has ever loved before. I will treasure you lime you were the only valuable thing in the world. I will never leave your side and I will never make you cry an thing other than tears of joy like you're doing now." He was down on one knee smiling at me as I let my tears fall.

"Oh hush you're crying too" I reached down and wiped his eyes. He smiled and kissed my hand taking hold of it again.

"You've made me realize how much I need you in my life. Your smile brightens my days every time I see it. If you're ever suffering or sad I'll be there to hold you and wipe your tears. You're my only and only brat I love you with all of my might and all of my soul....will you marry me Eren? And bring me this happiness every day?" Levi pulled out the black box that was in the safe and opened it to reveal an engagement ring.
