Unthinkable *Attack On Titan fanfic*

Epilogue: Jean

And that's how I ended up dating Eren Jaeger. 

Sure, I could've dragged through college years and beyond that. But why not just sum it all up for you? When everyone was pretty much almost done college, Krista and Ymir got married, seeing as they were too tired of waiting. I swear, their wedding was so gay, even Reiner had to step out for a minute. Like, Ymir and Krista were just literally radiating  homosexual energy. It was weird...

Speaking of Reiner, everyone's just waiting until he grows the balls to propose to Bertholdt. I mean, they've been together since sophomore year, so they been together for ten years. Sure, you could give them a couple years but then again, if they don't do it soon, no one else will.

Eren and I moved into an apartment. So now, no more idiots are walking around drinking something that should be illegal. Yeah, gotta miss that. As for my leg, I got surgery to make it look like my leg wasn't actually fake, which it totally was. I mean, it feels fleshy. If I stab it with something, it would probably hurt and most likely bleed. But I mean, it's so real and that makes me hate it even more. Stupid drunken bastards driving because they have no life and potentially kill people. Sheesh.

I feel like you're wondering about Marco. If you aren't, I don't care about you then. And if you are... the freckled boy survived his starvation stage. He had been hanging out with Mikasa lately, saying "Oh, I just need a friend that isn't a guy to hang out with". Yeah, that's it. Even though he says he was over me, I had a sneaking suspicion that the "beast" side of Marco was still hidden deep away. Oh, did I ever mention that Reiner now has a fear of freckled people and glass tables?

Mmm... now that I'm thinking about it... I feel like I should leave these memories off with something good. I feel like Jaeger needs one more surprise in his life...

"I freaking hate winter..." I muttered as I stepped inside with Eren right behind." It's cold, my legs are frozen, I can't even feel my flipping nose. Why the hell do we still live in Canada?" I glared at the brunette, who wasn't even listening. He's been like this for a couple days now and it was starting to worry me greatly. 

On the way to the couch, I practically shed off three layers of clothing before crashing on it and grabbing the xbox controller. Eren, who was in the midst of taking off his jacket, eyed me warily. This wasn't the first time he had stared at me that way. It actually was kind of annoying now. I stood up and snuck up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist and buried my face in the crook of his neck, scaring him a little.

"Jean. What are you doing?"

"You're warm," I grumbled, whining when he pushed me away from him and walked into the kitchen. I pouted and followed him quickly." What was that for? I need warmth and you are my source."

He turned to me, rolling his eyes." Well, for one, you're cold and I don't want  to be cold so... have a shower or something."

Ugh, why did he have to be such a buzzkill?" Is it wrong that I want to cuddle with my boyfriend? Am I seriously not allowed to do it?"

"No," he replied plainly, and rather quickly." You're cold."

I was pretty much one hundred percent done with what he was telling me so, while I still had the chance, I dragged him over to the couch, grabbing a blanket along the way." There. You have a source of warmth, now stop complaining about my cold hands."

Eren rolled his eyes and sat down, cocooning himself in the blanket and leaving me to freeze. I finally decided I was done with him and I just sat on his chest. The behavior was oddly normal for us. I was just happy that he didn't notice what was in my pocket. That would've ruined everything. But luck was on my side today, so I leaned back into the couch as the boy I was sitting on glared up at me, clearly not even close to happy. Soon, however, that mood will change... I hope.

"Get off of me, horseface," he growled lowly. 

I shook my head and a smirk appeared on my face." Hey, Eren."

"What?"

"Your last name is weird. Like, is it spelled with a Y or a J?"

The stupidity in my sentence must have got to him. He gazed at me with a sarcastic looking expression." Okay, idiot, think. You've been in most of the same classes as me since elementary. You must know how to spell my last name by now."

I just shrugged, sliding off his chest and landing on the floor." I don't like your last name though. You should change it."

"Change it!?" He was glaring at me now as I stood up and walked towards the kitchen." Why the hell should I change it!?"

"You should change it to Kirschtein," I replied as smooth and as plainly as possible." It sounds better." Sadly, I didn't get to see his reaction as I casually took out some leftover pizza and went to heat it up. 

I didn't even notice Eren standing beside me until he spoke." No. Maybe you should just change your last name to Jaeger. Sounds better, don't you think?"

We stood there, him looking up at me and me looking down at him, having a silent argument, which usually happened when we both had a disagreement, unlike all those years ago when we would punch each other to death. I could only say it was a tie. The thing was, I had something to use against him on this stupid argument on whose last name was better. 

After my pizza was done heating up, I took it to the table and sat down, smirking the whole way there. The brunette followed me and sat down as well, studying me closely. I reached into my pocket and took out the small, black box that was there. Being the person I was, I slid the box across the table and waited for Eren's reaction. He just stared at it with wide eyes, then looked up at me, eyes widening only a little more.

"W-What's this," he asked, his words stuttering in shock.

I just took a bite of my food." What do you think it is?"

He glanced down at the box again and picked it up. His eyes went through so many emotions before he closed his eyes and sighed with a shaky breath." Do it properly, Kirschtein," he muttered so silently that I barely missed it.

I moved to the chair beside him and poked the box. I gazed at Eren, who still had his eyes closed. I leaned back and picked up the box, closing my fingers over it." Ugh, I'm not good at these sappy things though."

His bright eyes finally met mine. His expression was so unreadable, I didn't know if I did something wrong or not. He rubbed one of his eyes." Jean."

I sighed, guessing it was better to just try to make him happy. I took one of his shaky hands with mine, entwining our fingers together. My gaze didn't meet his." So... you know I'm bad at this stuff. I even know I'm bad at this stuff. Though, I might as well try." I cleared my throat and finally looked at him." We've been together for a while now and it was all because Marco and Mikasa decided to throw us in a closet together. Years ago, I would've thought we'd hate each other for ever and now... well, I was wondering..." I opened the box." Will you marry me, Eren Jaeger?"

He just pulled me into a hug and buried his face in the crook of my neck." It wasn't that hard, was it?"

I laughed nervously." It actually kinda was."

We pulled away after awhile and nodded." Yes, you idiot. I will." He wiped the rouge tears from his eyes." Now pass me a piece of that pizza. I'm hungry."

Rolling my eyes, I pulled him into a kiss. My head was pounding and my heart was hammering its way out of my chest. I had finally done it. I actually thought that I'd chicken out but now... after all those years of being with him, I finally managed to make him cry, and not because of a sad or enraging thing. And that's exactly how I ended up proposing to him. Now, it was only a matter of time before I'd have to be nervous again. When that happens, this time, I'll be more ready than anything.
