Parring- Eruri (Levi x Erwin)
Song - Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran (just to be clear, no one is singing, it's just the sound of the song played on violin.)

The Titans had been eliminated over a year ago. The military not disbanded but, still working Titan-less expeditions by the Survey Corps. Life was peaceful, people soon let go of the feeling of being caged cattle. Erwin Smith, commander of the Survey Corps. Missing his right arm, his presence oozing dominance, strong and handsome as ever, continued to live. He had seen so much over his time in the military but, he kept on. Levi Ackerman, captain of the special operations squad kept on as well, his short stature still standing with a proud spirt and wearing eyes.

The pair now had a life away from the military, a life just between the two of them. Few people had abandoned the safety of the Walls, even though there was no threat of man eating giants but, Erwin and Levi were two of the few who did. They lived and the mountains outside Wall Maria, in a little log cabin, spacious enough for two.

Over the past year new technologies were made. An instrument called, the violin came into existence along with a recording device. Mostly used for court hearings or militia purposes but, could be purchased at a high cost. The art of street preforming had also awoken as the violin was produced.

Erwin found himself inside Wall Sina, after a meeting with the king about the debts still owed by the Survey Corps. He knew he would be stuck in this debt until the day he died but, humanity had won, he couldn't see harm in human victory.

The sound of a street performer caught his ear. If you knew where to look, there would be a stand in a dark corner of Wall Sina, where you could purchase one of the recording devices. So that's what Erwin did, he purchased a device and asked the street performer to play him a slow song.

"Levi?" Erwin's deep voice called through out the cabin. "I'm in the sitting room," Levi's smooth voice called back. Sure enough, there was Levi looking out of the front window of the sitting room, gazing down on Wall Maria and it's Southern outer city; Shiganshina.

Erwin sat down the recorder and waltzed over to Levi. "May I have this dance," Erwin asked, bowing his hand to Levi. "Erwin you didn't," Levi said peaking around him to see the recorder. "I did and your going to enjoy the pretty song that the street performer played for us," Erwin commanded, in a joking manner. "Yes sir," Levi said taking Erwin's hand.

Erwin pressed play on the recorder and began to flow the smooth sound of violin.

Levi slipped his other arm around Erwin's back. The two had never had time to learn to dance with there not being military functions held due, to the peril of the Titans but, now it was over, so Erwin and Levi moved around the room in slow circles.

"When your legs don't work like they used to before, and I can't sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?"

There was no time for an official wedding so, late in the year after the last battle from the the Titans, when they were sure neither of them would die. They put money together and bought two golden rings to sit on their left hands. They had a small wedding style get together between trusted members of the Survey Corps and promised themselves to one another. Erwin gazed at his ring, reminding him that it was over, the pain of the Titans was over, the man he loved stood here, waltzing with him, in their home.

"And darling I will be loving you till we're seventy and baby my heart could still fall as hard at twenty three. And I'm thinking about how people fall in love in mysterious ways. Maybe just the touch of a hand. Oh me I fall in love with you every single day and I just wanna tell you I am."
