Christa's POV

I stepped out of the restroom, dressed and clean. Ymir was pulling her shirt on, turning to look at me.

"Wanna go out for lunch?"

I nodded happily, running to give her a hug once her shirt was on. She hugged me back, kissing my forehead. I giggled, stepping back.

"Where should we go to lunch, my Prince?"

Ymir smirked, taking my hand. "Anywhere is fine."

"Let's go find something then!"

We walked up to McDonald's, deciding on something cheap. We walked in, the door ringing as we stepped up to the counter.

We ordered and sat down, eating.

"So, Christa."

"Hmm?"

"How do you like living with Hanji?"

I nodded. "She's a great mom."

Ymir smiled. "That's good."

I returned the smile, taking a few fries.

"Christa?"

"Hmm?"

"When you're 18, I want you to marry me."

I blushed. "H-Huh?"

"I want you to be my wife, Christa."

I beamed, kissing Ymir over the table. "Yes!"

Ymir kissed back, holding my hand for the rest of the time at the restaurant.

We went walking through the neighborhood, shopping and such.

We went to the beach, taking Ymir's quitar. She practiced and played, while we walked along the shore. It was a beautiful moment.

"This is for you." She blushed, tuning the quitar.

She began to play a song, singing along.

You make me happy, whether you know it or not.
We should be happy, that's what I said from the start.
I am so happy...
Knowin' you are the one that I want for the rest of my days,
For the rest of my days, yeah all of my days.

Some stared and "aww"-ed, others were disgusted by it and walked away.

You're lookin' so cool, you're lookin' so fly,
I can't deny that when I'm starin' you down and dead in the eye,
I wanna try to be the person you want, the person you need,
It's hard to conceive that somebody like you, could be, with someone like me.

Some people even took video. I could cry.

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine;
The grass is greener on the other side.
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce;
Ooh-ooh!

You're lookin' so fresh, it's catchin' my eye,
Why oh why did I not see this before,
The girl I adore was right in front of me,
And now I'll take a step back and look in your eye,
And ask why it took so long to see we're meant to be.

I covered my mouth and blushed, tearing up.

I'm happy knowin' that you are mine;
The grass is greener on the other side.
The more I think the more I wish that we could lay here for hours and just reminisce;
On the good, the bad, the ugly...
The smiles, the laughs, the funny...
Oh, the things we put each other through;
It's for you, for you, for you!
