Fight for Love: Chapter 37

Erwin hardly ever left my side, he ate when I ate, he slept when I slept, it was cute really the way he would immediately jump to my side if I shifted a little or sighed. He was always there and it was a nice change, especially since I wasn't around him for so long.

But when Aiden asked him why he seemed to hang on to me like I was a lifeline Erwin eyed the boy with a distasteful glint in his blue eyes,"You have the love of your life almost die twice and then have someone tell you she got shot." He said it bitterly and I shrunk back against the pillows, my cheeks flaming with embarrassment.

Now we are into the second day and I was noticing the shift of attitude in the room, Erwin sat in a chair in the corner a book balanced on his knees that he had Ryan go get for him the day before. He was edgy, constantly glancing at the door and his fingers tapped impatiently at his knee, when I asked him what's wrong he replied with a quick 'Levi and Hanji's late.'

Nibbling on my bottom lip, I twist my ring around my finger a final time before asking a question that's been on my mind for the past day or so,"Erwin?"

He immediately looked up, brow furrowed in worry,"Yes my dear?"

"When do you think we can have our wedding?" My cheeks were a brilliant pink by the time I finished my question, Erwin shifted in his chair as he thought and I watched the gears turn in his head with a perplexed expression.

"As soon as you want to get married, I guess." He shrugged,"I mean it might take some time to get the flowers and food prepared and your dress-"

I flinched at the thought of fitting into a dress, a dress for gods sake, I haven't worn one in years,"I-I don't really want to wear a dress." I whisper, eyes downturned.

"Then you don't have to." He stood up and strode across the room to kneel beside my bed,"If you want a shack wedding with a chicken as your bride's maid then that's what we'll do." He took my hand in his and ran his thumb over the band on the engagement ring.

I giggled at the thought, shaking my head I say,"No, anything but that!" He chuckled,"What I meant was, why don't we get married as we are?"

He cocked a brow in question,"As we are?"

"Yeah, I love you as you are, the Commander of the Survey Corps, so can't we just get married in our uniform?"

"Absolutely not!" Hanji cried and burst into the room. Her cheeks were puffed out in faux anger and she placed her hands on her hips,"You will not get married in your uniform if I have anything to say about it!"

"Hanji I don't mind the idea-" Erwin tried saying.

"Nope nope no." Hanji clicked her tongue,"You'll wear a dress and you will wear a tux, do you understand?"

"But if she isn't comfortable wearing a dress-"

"It doesn't have to be huge and frilly, just something simple, alright?" She glowered at me.

I grinned, having missed Hanji's extremely dramatic arguments,"Alright alright fine." I groan and roll my eyes a gentle laugh leaving my lips.

Levi walked into the room, his eyes narrowed,"Who's the giant shitfuck who tried telling me I couldn't come back here?"

"Ryan?" I ask, shifting a little so I'm leaning against the wall.

"I don't know who the fuck he is , but he really needs to take a shit or something." Levi shrugged and claimed Erwin's seat.

"Hanji!" Aiden's slightly pink face poked into the door,"I told you not to barge in here, they might have been-" Erwin lunged to his feet and slammed the door in the boy's face before another word could leave his smiling lips.
