Your P.O.V

It's cold and dark... I can't move... Am I dead? Wait, I've asked that before, when I was trying to rescue Eren from Reiner. Yes, I know now... I am going to die like this... It doesn't hurt, but I'll eventually starve.

Suddenly, I felt a heavy weight being lifted off me.

I Remember now, I was crushed while trying to save everyone. Tch, being turned into the bad guy against my will, only to be protecting the people I care about. When in reality, they hate me for what I've done. Levi especially.

I felt myself being lifted and suddenly light was in my vision. I opened my eyes to see the debri stopped falling, and Eren's titan holding mine. Did he bite my nape off? I was still fused down with the titan, but the gust of wind felt cool on my face.

"(y/n)!!!" Shouted a familiar voice. I couldn't turn to see who it was, instead I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me from behind. I turned my head and saw it was Levi.

"Levi?! W-What are you doing here?!" I asked, in a state of shock.

"You stupid idiot! I'm saving you!!"

"B-But... what if I lose you too?"

"That won't happen. Even if you or me went somewhere far away, I promise I'll find you. When we grow up and get big, I'll be able to protect you. I won't let anything bad happen to you!"

I felt tears run down my face.

"Levi..." I looked and saw Eren's titan crystalized. He managed to harden his skin?!

I saw Jean and Mikasa cut Eren out and dragged him.

"Eren!" Jean yelled out.

Levi cut me out of the nape and helped me to my feet. I looked around and the cave was reinforced with Eren's... titan skin.

"What the..." I was speechless.

"That's what I call hardening. Even after cutting you away, the titan hasn't disappeared. Pretty impressive, yeah? Meanwhile, (y/n)'s titan is nearly completely evaporated." Levi explained.

"That bottle... Oh yeah! Right before I turned into a titan, I drank that armour bottle..." Eren mentioned.

"Yeah."

"Wait! What the hell happened when I was stuck? Eren! Dammit, you went ahead and you were reckless again..." I muttered, as I rubbed my temples.

"Like you're one to talk! You were about to eat me! And you were the one crushed by the debri! I bit you out and saved your ass!" Eren retorted back.

"You were begging for either Historia or I to eat you! And like you had a better chance of getting out of here on your own." I replied.

Suddenly, I felt my head getting punched, and Eren kicked in the face.

"Gugh!!"

Levi stepped forward with an annoyed expression.

"We need to get out of here." Levi spoke up.

"I can do it. Unlike Eren, I think I have a better chance of transforming again. And I can carry you all out to the surface." I suggested.

"You sure about that?" Levi asked. I nodded my head. "Alright then."

Mikasa helped Eren get back to safety and everyone stepped away from me. I couldn't stand on my own very well, and my dagger got lost somewhere. Guess I have to do it Eren style again.

I quickly bit my hand, and in the blink of an eye, I transformed. I crouched down so everyone could get on. I stood up and crawled my way up to the surface. Hopefully everyone is alright.

"You couldn't do all before now, but you used the hardening ability. And saved all of us. In a blink of an eye, you devised a plan and created all of that back there. Yeah, the construction looks weird, but... I bet that's how all the walls were made too. In other words... It's possible for us to plug that hole in Wall Maria. A lot of enemies and allies have died along the way, and getting this far hasn't been pretty. But for as ugly as it's been, look at the position we're in now." Levi explained to Eren.

We reached the surface, and I collapsed on the ground, letting the others get off. I made my way out of the nape, but I was still fused to it. Levi cut me out and helped me to the ground.

We all looked over and saw the horrible mess that Rod left. And in the distance, we saw him crawling in the direction of the wall.

"Oh god..."

"(y/n)."

I turned and Levi as standing behind me. He had a look of exhaustion and relief in his eyes.

"And you... Ah, Levi.... Poor little Levi. You had an intimate relationship with the fake, didn't you? You could never love the real me. The (y/n) you knew and loved... However, now that I'm back, the (y/n) you once knew is gone for good... Because I devoured her."

He suddenly dropped down to his knees in front of me. His head was looking down and he didn't say a word.

"Levi...?"

"I... I'm..." Levi couldn't let out a word without wanting to let out his emotions. I know he didn't want anyone else to see.

I grabbed a cape from one of the wagons and threw it over him, covering his head with the hood. He lightly lifted his head and looked at me. I squatted down in front of him and caressed his cheeks. Neither of us said a word; and we had lots we wanted to say to each other. I slowly wrapped my arms around his shoulders, pressing my forehead against his.

"Levi... I'm so sorry... I did it again... I forgot, and treated you like a stranger. I'm so sorry I hurt you..." I whispered. I was trying to hold a smile, so I wouldn't start crying.

I was expecting Levi to scold or insult me for all the trouble I caused, but he remained silent.

"I..."

Suddenly, Levi wrapped his arms around me and consumed me into a sweet long kiss. I was stuck from the way Levi was hugging me, so I couldn't return the embrace.

He slowly moved his face away from the kiss, but he stared into my eyes.

"We promised, didn't we?" Levi finally spoke.

"Huh?"

"You promised that you would be my wife after this." Levi replied. I let out a gasp as the memory came back to me.

"I want you to be my wife, and I your husband, okay?"

"(y/n)... we promised we'd stay together, that you'll never leave me... We promised to get married after this, we can still do that!"

"Sure... Let's do it. But... After we've stopped Rod." I replied. Levi slowly nodded his head.
