A year later...

Healing was all he needed.

It was Autumn once more; the tree's leavings sprinkling onto the ground and the air carrying the smell of coffee. Eren had moved in with Levi in a new apartment, figuring it would be useless to waste money if he were with him for the majority of the time anyway. The place was more spacious and bright; it's large glass windows letting the sunlight pour right through, and the smooth, ivory colored walls giving the atmosphere of an art exhibit. The floors were made out of maple, and the place held a permanent scent of cherry lollipops. They had just moved in and the heaters inside their new furnished home wasn't functioning yet, leaving Eren to scavenge for any old blankets to keep himself from freezing to death. There wasn't anything really rewarding about moving yet, but the view sure was something else; there was a beach just below them with young trees sprouting from the ground. Eren kept a mental note to ask Levi if they could walk along the shore one day.

It's been so long, but he remembered almost everything that happened in the past year. He hadn't attended the trip to England to perform, but at least the music school he had always wanted to go to saved a spot for him. Of course he did. Eren Jaeger was a genius, having him in their school would be an honour. He wasn't really bummed out about the trip, but he sure was glad he was still able to have his education. He remembered Levi telling him that Reiner and Bertoldt got landed in jail for assault for less than a year. They were most likely out and Eren forgave them. There was no way he could have such a good life without someone or something ruining it with obstacles first. He visited the doctor from time to time to have his fingers checked on and he was told they healed properly, which was a relief. He was never going to play piano or guitar or anything that had the use of fingers the same way again. They looked a little crooked, twisted even; they forever reminded him that he wasn't ever going to be perfect. Never. There were times when he would accidentally press the wrong key, but he was so used to it now. It hurt his heart of course.

Boxes and bags were scattered carelessly around their new home. It wasn't too difficult moving in. The only hard part was decided whose piano they were going to keep. Levi wanted to sell his and use the money for Eren's education. Eren on the other hand, wanted to keep Levi's and donate his own. In the end, they ended up having to keep both of them. The arguments they had over two pianos was ridiculous, and he idea of keeping two of them calmed them down. Eren was looking out the window, waiting for Levi to come home from a job interview. He found a place to work, and of course it was he position of being a band instructor.

Watching the sunset was breath taking and absolutely gorgeous. The pink lemonade clouds faded in with the orange, and for a moment Eren wanted to forget everything just to admire the sky. He had his legs criss-crossed on the newly made floor boards and almost fell asleep until he heard foot steps echoing through the vast, large apartment. He didn't turn his head to see who it was, and soon he felt arms wrap around his torso.

"Hey," Levi whispered in his ear and kissed the skin just below it.

"I was lonely," he replied and tucked his knees to his chin.

"I know and I'm sorry, kid. Forgive me?"

"Maybe," Eren said and slowly got up with Levi's arms not moving an inch away. He angled his head so that he was looking down at the love of his life. "Kiss me and I'll put your request into consideration."

"I'd be happy to oblige," he whispered before pulling him down into a kiss.

The both of them would never get tired of moment such as these. How would they? Because Eren was the worst and best thing that had ever happened to him. From the very second he met him again, he knew he was going to have to endure watching his life crumble and tumble to pieces, leaving everything a mess. Levi didn't mind, though. They both pulled away after a moment, and Levi sighed happily.
