I Just Want To Hold You

Chapter 7

Jean cleared his throat "How many times has she called him that?" He inquired.

Eren counted on his fingers "Three times now, this is first time I've ever heard her say it." He looked on at his cub in Levi's arms, feeling like it was how their life was supposed to be. "Jean, you mind getting off of me?"

Jean did so then helped up his adopted cub. "Think Ally is trying to tell you something?" He smirked causing the cat to blush "Shut up, horse face."

Levi struck his arm out and wrapped it around Eren's waist "It feels so good to touch you again, Eren." He held the mother cat close while the kit giggled.

They were startled from the sudden clap of hands "Well, we'll just get out of your hair now and take Ally home. I mean you guys do need to catch up on a lot of stuff." Marco said, dismounting Alice from her spot on Levi's shoulders. He whispered to the wolf "Don't you dare make him cry, or I will show you something worse than a Titan."

Levi smirked "You have nothing to worry about, Bodt. I'm supposed to be looking after him aren't I?"

Marco gave one of his "Angel hiding the devil" smiles before carrying his granddaughter away. Leaving the former Corporal wolf and his former neko subordinate. Levi looked over to Eren who was trying to hide his face by looking at the ground.

The wolf stretched out his hand and took the cat's left, he took out a marker and started to draw on the boy.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing?!" Eren screeched but didn't remove his hand from the other's grip. He wasn't mad per se, just embarrassed and flustered that the man he has been dreaming about for seventeen years of his life was now right in front of him and holding his hand.

Without halting his work or looking up Levi answered "I'm marking what's mine and making a promise." He put the marker away and admired his handy work "There, almost looks like the real thing." He dropped the hand to let Eren examine it.

On his ring finger in black sharpie was drawn a very realistic diamond ring on his sun kissed skin. Eren felt his heart stop and looked up at the wolf that towered over him. Waiting and expecting an explanation for this thing marked on him.

Levi took both his hands into his own and gazed into the oceanic orbs of his chosen mate "I promise to put a real ring on your finger someday, to show that you are mine and no one else's. I've waited a long time for you, Eren and I'm not letting you go again. No matter what happens," he got down on one knee so that he was looking up and not down on the one he loved and continued to speak. "I promise to always love you, to cherish you, to protect you and not let a single tear fall from your eyes unless they're tears of pure unadulterated happiness and joy."

Eren smiled, his knees buckled and he fell at his lover's knees. He pressed his forehead against the wolf's "Okay, Levi I'm going to hold you to your promises." Tears started to glide down his cheeks in thin clear streams.

Levi licked his tears away and kissed the corners of Eren's eyes. "I'm glad I got to hold you again, Eren Jaeger."
