I've lost track of time these past few months. Life has passed me by in a blur.
We stopped the rumbling, but at what cost? So many lives were lost including Hange. The most heartbreaking of them all. She sacrificed herself. Going out in a blaze of glory with a huge smile on her face.
My legs finally give out and I fall to my knees. Sinking slowly into the dirt and rubble beneath me. My hands shake as I slowly unclasp the odm gear and it falls with a clank.
Dust and debris swirls around the air, stinging my eyes, making it hard to breathe. With a ragged breath I collapse into my back feeling the rough ground push against my back. I close my eyes, desperate for just a moment of peace.
"Oh my god, Blair!"
It takes all of my strength to open my eyes. I blink, trying to focus my vision until Connie's face becomes clear. I give him a weak smile before tears roll down my face.
He helps me off of the ground, pulling me into a strong hug that's almost too tight. "It's okay, I'm here." He whispers.
I pull away from him. "Where is everyone?"
"Everyone's okay. Armin's with Mikasa, Jean's with Pieck and Levi, and Annie found her dad." He hesitates. "I... I'm not sure where Reiner is though."
My stomach drops, fear clawing from my stomach all the way up to my throat. Just as the painful dread begins, before I can lose the rest of myself. I hear that familiar voice I love so much.
"Blair!"
I spin around and spot him. Reiner running towards me in a full sprint. My legs move before I can think and I'm running towards him, leaving Connie behind.
We crash into each other. He holds me so tight like he's afraid I'll disappear at any moment.
Reiner pulls away, cupping my face in his hands as he looks me over for injuries.
"I'm okay." I say with tears still falling down my face.
His eyes are wet as he nods at me. He pulls me back into his arms, leaning down to press a kiss on top of my head.
"I'm so glad you're okay." He whispers into my hair. "I don't know what I would have done without you."
We stay wrapped in each other for what feels like hours. I feel his chest rise and fall with each shaky breath.
"Blair... I'm no longer a Titan." Reiner speaks so softly, almost like he doesn't believe the words he's saying. "I'm free...I can be with you forever." His voice begins to crack as he holds back more tears. "I could...I could make you my wife."
I try to hold back my sobs as even more tears spill down my face. Hearing those words, something we thought we would never be able to have. "I'd like that." I manage to whisper back.

Reiner and Blair's wedding vows:
Blair,
I'm sure I've loved you from the moment I saw you. You are the one that keeps me grounded when I feel my sense of self slipping. You are a dream come true. The best gift I have ever been blessed with. I love the way you look at me even if you are angry with me. It's truly a blessing just to be in your presence. I promise to love you in every lifetime.
Reiner,
You saw me for who I was right away. You loved me when I believed I was never capable of love. Being with you is warm and cozy because you are my home. Home is wherever you are. I promise I will follow you to the end of the earth. I'm so lucky that I get to spend the rest of my life being loved by you.
