Marrying the One I Hate

~Raise Your Glass~

"I love you daddy." The boy squealed, hugging his parent goodbye.

"I love you too." The father smiled.

He watched intently as the boy walked over to his other father, and whilst he swooped him up and spun him around. Their son laughed and held on tightly. The Raven haired father laughed and watched his husband say goodbye to their child.

'He's such a great father' he thought to himself, admiring the one he had married.

A small but noticeable smile found its way on his usual monotonous face as the scene played out in front of him.

"I love you." The brunette said, hugging his son.

"I love you too dad.." He giggled, dragging out the dad as if he was embarrassed.

"Elliot, are you getting smart with me?" His father teased.

"No!"

"Don't let me give you a kiss!"

"Ew! Dad no!"

"Too late!" He grabbed Elliot and peppered his face in kisses, no matter how much the latter protested.

The boy screeched, trying to get away.

"S-stop dad!" He laughed. "I got to go. Grandpa Grisha is waiting."

"And we have to go Eren." His significant other said, grabbing his hand.

Eren puffed out his bottom lip in a pout, and let out a huff.

"Fine. I love you. Be safe. Don't give grandpa a hard time.

"I won't. Love you too." Elliot giggled.

"By dads!"

"Bye!"

"Drink!" Hanji yelled, and the group took their shots quickly.

They were having a celebration for their friendship, like an anniversary. The friends drank the night away, reminiscing over the past, not even noticing the three familiar bartenders.

"Here's your Shirley Temple." The short blonde said, her piercing blue eyes staring Eren in his.

Levi wrapped a protective arm around his waist and glared at the bartender. Her gaze flicked over, not bothering to glare back. Mikasa, who was on the other side of Eren, had too also heightened her own protectiveness, to which the blonde backed down.

Another blonde, burley muscular man served Connie and Sasha their drinks, and the nervous dark haired one, who was abnormally tall, served Hanji and Erwin. Armin and Jean were being served by the same blonde woman, who scared the shit out of Armin.

"So, what's your name?" Eren asked, pretty tipsy right now.

"Annie. We've known each other since childhood. I was the one who smashed your light brown haired friend into a tree." Eren's face went pale.

"O-oh?"

"Sorry about that." The muscular man sighed, making Annie roll her eyes.

"We've gone through therapy, and we're all much better now. Trust us."

"Y-yeah...Annie is just blunt about things."

"You two don't need to vouch for me. I had it myself." Annie snapped, glaring at her two male friends.

"So, um, how's it going? Not the first time we've made friends with people who bullied us in the past."

"Well, Bertholdt and I are finally together." Reiner beamed, wrapping his arm around his boyfriend. Eren smiled.
