A rather large crowd of people sat around a fireplace. The warm atmosphere was filled with laughter and joy giving off a sense of comfort. Two children sat beside their father who had been glaring daggers at the nearby couple.

“You shitty brat!”

“Levi watch your language! What would you do if (Y/N) found out you are cursing in front of the children!” Hanji had spoken up and scolded the ill mannered soldier. His gaze soon turned to her and he started to mumble curses under his breath.

“Daddy?” a small voice had enraptured the raven-haired man’s attention, and he turned to look at the small one who had addressed him. He was the younger of the two children that Levi had with his wife of five years.

“Yes my half pint?” he responded in an annoyed tone, but the little child giggled in his arms and caused the older man’s lips to curl up slightly.

“LOOK AT THEM!”  A drunken woman known as Hanji squealed, as she held a glass of wine in her hand, her cheeks flushed a deep tone.

“Shut up you drunkard.” Levi hissed at the rowdy Squad Leader Hanji. She quickly giggled and attended to her dark red drink.

“Daddy, what’s the mistletoe?” the innocent child’s voice rang throughout the room. The once bustling room had gotten extremely quiet. The man’s steel grey eyes glared towards the the group of cadets and squad leaders who now stared at him, hushing, and just waiting for him to answer his child’s question.

“Well brat…” he furrowed his eyebrows, trying to find the right words to say, “When two people get caught under the mistletoe they have to kiss or something like that...” his voice was strained, trying to sound kind which caused a slight chuckle, which turned into a cough to fill the deathly quiet space.

“Like you and mommy kiss goodbye in the morning?” the child questioned, and his father nodded, receiving a giggle in delight. After all, his wife had decided to quit the survey corps to raise the family Levi never got to have. To her protests, he had stayed in his position and went on expeditions when required. Even though it worried his beautiful (E/C) eyed wife… But, she had known it would be better to take of the children at home and make sure the house was Husband Approved. Though that was quite tedious considering they both had two young children.

“Yes…like mommy and me.” He sighed, in repose awes were spoken throughout the room.  With his eyebrow twitching slightly, he glared daggers at the cadets.

“Don’t you have something else to be doing?” he barked at the group of onlookers.

After that, most of the cadets dispersed, leaving a Drunken Hanji and a somewhat sober Commander Erwin beside him.

“Speaking of (Y/N)…” the commander spoke in a serious tone. Levi averted his attention to the blazing fire. His small children had now both sat on the floor playing with their small toys that their mother had bought them for their birthdays.

“What about her?”

“Wasn’t your first kiss with her around this time of year?” a teasing tone had emerged from the commander. He wriggled his eyebrows in a manner so that the children had noticed. They soon began to laugh.

“Uncle Erwin, your eyebrows are funny!”

“That’s disgusting. Pluck those off or something.” Levi growled for a moment, and then his eyes softened as he looked into the blazing fire. Memories flowing back from that day.

-Flashback-

He had been preparing himself for most of the day. He couldn’t even do his paper work without her crossing his mind. Ever since she had an accident on an expedition, he had been watching over her carefully. But in the end, he fell for her. The (H/C) locks she had been beautiful to him. Her (E/C) eyes? He could get lost in them. The look of her soft (L/C) lips? Mind boggling.
