What do you think?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A completely black suit hangs on the back of the door.

Today is probably the first time I'm really glad Hanji is conspicuously and questionably wealthy (today isn't the day to question her, sure, but still); she's letting Eren and I get married in her ridiculous house.

Oh my God.

I'm getting married today.

There's a knock on the door. "Yeah?" I ask, still staring at my suit.

In walks Erwin in all his tall, blonde glory. He smiling at me like he knows exactly what I'm thinking. "You doing alright?" he asks.

"I'm fine," I say defensively.

He nods and holds up a bag. "Nanaba just got here with the veils."

Hanji was disappointed when I told her I didn't want to wear a dress so she managed to talk Eren and I into wearing veils instead.

I thought it was a pretty dumb but if it'll make her happy I'll wear it, it's not like I can't get pictures without it on too.

"Thanks," I say and take my suit off the door, laying it on the bed. "You gonna hang out while I get changed."

"If you don't mind."

"I don't." Erwin grins at me and I twist my expression to make it look like it irritates me. "What?"

"I'm just really giddy you're the first one of my friends to get married."

I roll my eyes and start stripping to put on my suit. "Is your speech going to be as embarrassing as I think it's gonna be?"

"Probably not," he replies. "I'm somewhere in the balance between the extremes Petra and Hanji will be presenting. I've heard both of them and think Hanji's gonna get a lot of laughs but Petra's gonna make you cry."

"Great," I say, putting on my suit pants. "Glad I don't wear makeup then."

I finish getting dressed in silence but when I turn back, Erwin's smiling again. "It's cool seeing you this grown up," he says.

"Oh yeah?"

"There was a time when we were younger that I didn't know where you were going so I'm glad you've gotten here."

I look into his eyes and sigh. "Alright, you giant marshmallow, help me put my veil on before Hanji gets here with the flowers."

Erwin towers over me, fussing with the veil and my hair.

"I still can't believe you went and got a license just so you could marry us," I mutter.

Erwin shrugs. "What're friends for?" he asks with a chuckle. "Plus I was pretty sure you were going to name me your best man and I don't think Hanji would've been very happy about that."

"We're getting married in her damn house, she'd have gotten over it."

Erwin snorts. "You know she'd never stop talking about it."

I shrug as I feel his hands leave my head for good. "I'm glad you decided on a white veil, you might've looked like you were walking a death march otherwise."

I look in the mirror and my breath catches and I have to freeze for a moment.

Oh my God.

I'm getting married today.

There's another knock on the door. "He's decent," Erwin says.

Hanji walks in in the black, sequin dress she's spent the last two weeks working on. "Aw, Levi," she says. "You look so cute."

I shoot her a glare. "Call me cute again and I'll make your glasses a part of your eyes."

She rolls her eyes. "I thought your boutonnieres, can you get them on each other without help?"

"We'll be fine," Erwin says, nodding.

Hanji nods and leaves the box with our flowers on the table by the door. I get the box and can't help but smile at the flowers inside.

Since everyone on my side is wearing black, we're all wearing white roses. Hanji special ordered blue roses for everyone on Eren's side since they're all wearing white.

Erwin picks up my flower and gets to pinning it to my jacket. Indo the same for him and he looks me over, still grinning. "You really do look good Levi," he says.

"Thanks," I reply.

"Ten more minutes," he says. "You wanna be alone?"

I take a deep breath. "You go finish getting ready," I say, nodding.

He grips my shoulder comfortingly before leaving the room. Once I'm alone again, I walk up to the mirror and look at myself.

I really am getting married today.
