AOT: Forget and Forgive

Ending

*Few Months Later*

"Okay, listen up troops! The mission went well with very little casualties. Thanks to your bravery we are one win closer to defeating the Titans. Dismissed." The commander said ans we all dispersed. I looked over at Eren and Leena. I didn't think they would be a good match, and I didn't think that Leena would get together with anyone, but they compliment each other and they love each other.

Then I looked over at Armin, the love of my life. I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't met him. He was my world, without him it would topple. I opened my hand, inviting him to grab it and he did. Interlocking fingers, we left.

The time in the corps is hard, but it's been fun and I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't imagine my life without it. It made me who I am.

We walked home, going slow and talking, not wanting the day to end.

We eventually made it to the dining hall where we decided to stop for dinner, but mainly to chat more.

"Today has been fun." Leena said.

"It really has, this place is like home now. I've even grown accustom to te food, and it helps to have someone to come home to." I said, looking around at all the people, realizing how many people there really were and how many I had yet to know.

"And I will always be here. No matter what happens or what we go through. I'm here." He said and I smiled, well, more like blushed. "I couldn't imagine a better home than you. Wherever you go, I go, whatever you do, I do, because we're in this together. You and me. Forever." He then got up from the table, grabbing something out of his pocket as he did so.

My heart started beating a mile a minute, the breath gone from my ever needing lungs. It felt like I was dying, but no light to be found. Suddenly it felt like it was only me and him. Everyone else was just a cloud of darkness.

Then the words came, the words I dreamed a guy would say to me. "Will you marry me?" I dreamed of this moment since I was a kid, and every time I imagined myself running up, hugging him and saying yes, but that was not this. Reality was not fantasy.

In reality I was frozen. Unable to move or respond. I wanted to say yes, but I couldn't. I loved him, with all my heart, with every breath till my last, but was this really where I wanted my life to go?

If I got married, it committed us to each other for forever, but forever is a long time. Plus, our lives could end at any moment, we live a dangerous life.

"Mystie," he siad, snapping me out of my thoughts. Then, everyone was back, but instead they were all looking at me, judging me for waiting so long. I shook my head, and it turns out not a lot of people cared.

"I need to think." I said and ran out. I could hear Leena's footsteps in tow behind me.

"What was that about?" She aksed, "You dreamt of this moment all your life."

"I know, and I love him, but, marriage?" I said and she looked at me as if I was crazy. "I mean, marriage is forever, plus the job, and this life, and what if we don't last? I can't handle that."

"Hey, all the terms to think about is do you love him?"

"I do."

"Then tell him that." She said and went back in.

"Armin, you are smart, cunning, wise, funny, nice man and you are the dream guy I have always imagined being with. So much so I'm afraid this all really is a dream. There is so much about you that makes you who you are, and I love every single one of them, especially the bad ones. I love you, with every heartbeat, every breath, I will continue to love you till my death bed. So yes, I will marry you."

He looked shocked, though I don't know why, there was no way I aas saying no. I jumped jp and kissed him. It felt good, knowing that I was set for a future with Armin for life. To most that would seem scary, but it was actually comforting.
