Levi;

"Jeager? Eren? Baby?"

Eren's eyes widened at the last word I muttered under my breath.

"W-what did you just call me?"

"I remember. Meeting you at Ackerman official. Saving you. Falling in love. Finding out you're the angel hound. Seeing your vampire form for the first time. You being a pure blood. Getting shot. Waking up in the hospital. Falling in love with you ... again."

Seeing Eren's memories triggered every single memory I'd lost. And it showed me that I'd fallen in love with him again, even after not remembering him.

A pain in my chest that had lingered since I got out the hospital finally disappeared.

Eren's smile ... that god damn smile. Just seeing it after so long sent me into a euphoric happiness.

He began to sob ... as usual. But it was a cry of happiness, and relief, probably.

"I— you do? How?"

"Seeing your memories of me, made me remember those memories from my view. Once again, you saved me."

My hands moved from either side of his head to cupping his cheeks. I leaned in, kissing his lips gently. At that moment, everything felt right again.

"I love you, Eren."

Eren;

"Seeing your memories of me, made me remember those memories from my view. Once again, you saved me."

So many agonising nights, laying awake wondering if I'd ever have my mate back. My Levi. If I'd ever feel his comforting touch again. If he'd ever kiss my lips gently with so much passion and love again. If I'd ever get to be his omega again.

After all of those agonising nights, laying awake wondering all those thoughts, I finally felt the happiness I missed.

Hearing Jeager, Eren and baby slip out of his mouth for the first time in months sent an overwhelming sensation of relief throughout my body. It brightened up that darkness that lingered over me.

Hearing him tell me he loves me, for the first time in month, was something different. It was like the missing puzzle piece of me finally filled the empty space where it belonged. For the first time in months, I had my sense of belonging back.

I slowly moved one hand to cup Levi's cheek, afraid I'd touch it but feel nothing. Afraid he wasn't real. That he was just a pigment of my imagination.

But I did feel. I felt him. He's real.

He moved his hand to rest it on top of mine, turning his face to quickly kiss my hand in the process.

We just sat for a minute, admiring each other's presence after so long apart.

Levi was first to move, placing his hand at the back of my head and pulling me in so my head rest on his chest. His fingers tangled in my hair, and he remained playing with it.

In this moment, everything was right. But worries still played on my mind. What if things never go back to normal? Are we really fated to live in unhappiness? Was this a warning that we shouldn't be together?

Levi's soothing voice interrupted my worries.

"What are you thinking about?"

His voice held a tone of concern,  but mostly curiosity.

"Will things ever go back to normal?"

I asked blankly, not letting my emotions ruin the moment.

"Nothing can ever return back to normal, Eren. It can only get better."

His reply was simple. But it held so much meaning and hope. Something I hadn't felt in a very long time. I smiled to myself at his reply, whilst silently acknowledging how much I love this man.

"I love you, so much. I'm sorry I let things get this bad."

Levi released calming and comforting pheromones in response to my statement, probably knowing that I'd been wanting to apologise the whole time.

"You have nothing to apologise for. I will always protect you. Until the day I die. You're my omega, my happiness, my life. I love you, Eren Jeager. I'm sorry I haven't been here for a while to remind you of that." 

What came out of my mouth next shocked me. I only realised what I said after it had been said. There was no way of telling how Levi would react. In all honestly, I didn't want to know.

"Mark me."

Third person;

The underworld : Lucifer, Carla and Kuchel.

"Mrs Ackerman, Mrs Jaeger. I hope you understand that your failure to do as I command means I'll have to take matters into my own hands."

The two women shared a glance of worry, before bowing their heads in shame. They were supposed to kill Eren. At first, he did die, but not due to them. They tried to erase Levi's memories but their bond was still strong. Eren was reborn in his true form, unknown of his full power. Then they had Jean and Marco do their dirty work, in hopes to kill Eren. Did it work? No. Levi got in the way. But the good news is Levi's memory is restored. No one else knows. Levi's memory? It's their secret weapon.

"Tell me Carla, what do we want to do to the demon hound?"

"Break him."

"How do we do it, Kuchel?"

"Eliminate his weakness."

There was only one weakness Levi had. Eren. He was bound to Eren by a love so strong, it made him weak. Protecting Eren mattered more than fulfilling his role in this world. Lucifer would not let this stand any longer.

"Much to my surprise, you both failed. I expected more from you two, honestly. Who would've thought! I would give you another chance, but I feel like having some fun. Instead of breaking the demon hound, we'll break the one thing that matters to him most. Oh and don't I have the perfect idea."

The two women shot their heads up at the same time, both knowing that the situation was bad. They'd made an agreement that no matter what, they would be responsible for whatever happened to their sons. But that was out of the window now. They thought that their children knowing they were who betrayed them would give Levi and Eren the closure they needed. That it would give them a reason to actually hate them. But now? Their sons will be wondering - where were you when I needed you, mom?

"We apologise for our mistakes, my lord."
