Author's Note:
Hey Guys! This is the last Author's Note I get to write in this fic (I think) so I just wanna say thank you to all of you who stuck with us. It means a lot just to see the sheer number of people who bothered to even look at this fic. And I know, things have sobered up recently, and its not as funny as it used to be, but how else was I to end this fic besides a little drama? Anyways, I hope you guys stick around to see our future fics, and as always, stay safe and always waggle your eyebrows.

Looking back, the first month was the toughest, I thought as I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing and a small notification popping up, informing me that as of today, it had been six years since I had seen Levi. However, the notification was underwhelming for 2 reasons.
One, duh I knew that today was the day, I had been counting down to the day I could see him again since the day he left, and two, it had been plaguing my mind that I had no way of contacting him. His facebook was gone, I didn't know where he lived, he wasn't in any phone book I could get my hands on, and he had changed phone numbers, rendering the number in my phone totally useless. I had no way to contact him, meaning I had no way of meeting up with him.
I closed my eyes and sighed, leaning against the headboard. At the sound of my phone buzzing again, I rolled out of bed and threw on a hoodie and jeans. I sighed as I began walking down to the coffee shop, the same little place tucked away into the dark corner of the street. I pushed the glass door in, setting off the ever-annoying bell that hung above my head.
"Eren?" I heard Marco yell from the back. I heard rustling and a few protests as I walked over the glass case to gaze at the baked goods piled inside.
"Yeah it's me." I replied. At that, the he popped out from the back and smiled broadly, wearing a blue half apron.
"The usual?" He asked, already grabbing a poppy seed muffin and grabbing my ready made mocha from the counter, setting them both in front of me. I quickly paid for them and headed out to the street, munching quietly on my muffin. I turned left and entered Armin's apartment building, slowly making my way upstairs. after a few raps on his door, he opened it, dressed in pajamas with his hair in a ponytail.
"Are you excited?" Armin buzzed, grinning. "Today's the day."
"Mmhm." I said as I slipped out of my shoes and collapsed on his couch. "Vey excited to have no way to contact him and no way to see if he is even alive. Much excitement. All the happy." I grumbled, sipping at my coffee. Armin frowned. He sat next to me on the couch and rested his feet on the coffee table.
"Well, you haven't moved. If he wants to find you he can. There are a million ways to contact you if he really wanted to." he said.
"Wow that makes me feel so-"
"Which is why you are now a free man! You aren't required to sit around waiting for him! Let's go do something and forget that asshole!" he proclaimed, standing up. I looked at him for a moment, then slowly nodded.
"Yeah... okay."
I have never regretted something so fast or so much in my life.
Yes, that includes the maids dress.
I sat in the corner of the gay bar, watching a hammered armin grind on a massive lumberjack-esque man, sipping at my beer with a generally miserable attitude about me. I rubbed the ring on the chain around my neck absent mindedly, watching the asinine behavior of the hammered gay bar. I had rejected three men (including sir lumberjack) and I was overall done with this place. I left my half empty beer on the bar and walking outside, telling armin that I was leaving before I left. I pulled up my hood against the rain, and waited patiently at the bus stop. A few minutes later, a bus pulled in and I hopped on, flashing my bus pass at the driver. I took a seat in the very back, across from some guy in a hoodie with his hood pulled up. I stared out the window and gently sighed.
"No luck at the bar?" I turned around, mildly surprised to find that hoodie guy's hood was now pointed in my direction. I faced forward and closed my eyes a little.
"Yeah I guess you could say that." I said, fingering my ring.
"That an engagement ring?" he asked, gesturing to my ring.
"Yeah."
"You guys still together?"
"It's uh- it's complicated."
"I would have to agree if you are going to a gay bar on a tuesday night." he laughed a little. "But I don't really see how something like that can be complicated."
"Oh really?" I snapped back, mildly irritated.
"Yeah. theres really only one question." He sat back, pulling out his phone and some earbuds. "Is it over for you?" He turned and tucked in his earbuds, going back to staring out the window.
"Fuck off you fuckin' hoodie hobo." I mumbled as I turned away as well. I turned on my phone, my eyes flickering to the only event in my calendar.
Levi's coming home
I felt tears gather and I shook my head vigorously, stopping the tears. "No," I whispered, "It's not over for me." The bus came to a halt at my stop and I dashed off, running into my apartment building and practically shoving the button for my floor in the elevator through the wall. The elevator rose and I ran into my house, throwing my laptop open and grinning.
"I'm gonna find you, you fucking asshole."
In the morning, I dragged myself out of my house after an all nighter of trying to find my annoyingly elusive boyfriend. I stumbled onto the sidewalk, slowly walking to the coffeeshop. Just around the corner, i saw my friend from the bus last night.
"Oh hey hoodie hobo." I said as I walk past him.
"Jesus Fucking Christ Almighty this kid is gonna kill me." I heard him mutter as he grabbed the bridge of his nose. He walked in front of me and stood in my way.
"Whaddaya-" My eyes widened and my brain froze as He pulled off his hood, revealing a somewhat disheveled and irritated Levi.
"You are the single. most. oblivious. person. to. ever. walk the earth." he said as he leaned in and kissed me gently. "but I missed you." He kissed me again, and I unfroze, wrapping my arms around him. I touched his forehead with mine and sighed contentedly.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" I murmured.
"I was going to by showing up at your door and kissing you dramatically but I was stopped by some old ass lady who lectured me about making you cry and then offered me lube." I laughed and hugged him tighter. "By the way, if you don't put that ring on your finger in the next six seconds I will personally kill you because I have waited six years to see it on you shitty brat." I released him and unlatched my necklace, quickly placing the ring on my finger. Levi grabbed my hand and pulled me close.
"Marry me Eren."
"Are you brain damaged?" I asked him, imitating him. "Of course."
Author's Note: Little tiny blip here this is Levi's POV
I woke up and stared at the roof of the hotel several hours before my alarm was supposed to even go off. I turned to the clock, and saw 2:36 AM flashing gently in my direction. Aside from my irritation of waking at the goddamn ass crack of dawn, I felt my lips curve into a small smile. Today, I could see Eren again. I hoped he hadn't moved, I wanted to surprise him in person. I had his number in my phone, but how unromantic is it to casually call him up after years of not seeing him? I let my thoughts wander as I got up and ran through my morning routine. Make the bed, take a shower, change into new clothes, brush my teeth. I frowned at the black hoodie I had chosen. It was mildly underwhelming for a "hey here's what I look like after years, a dirty hobo." I made a "tsk" sound at myself, and left a few hours later after I had lunch, catching the first bus that went to the city.
"I don't know if I love him or if I love Andy and they are both so hot I just can't choose!" the girl next to me rambled, and I was the closest I had ever been to tears since high school. The bus had been on the side of the road for 8 hours, waiting for the mechanic to arrive and fix the damn bus. It broke down not a mile from my stop, and I had been listening to this idiot babble about her goddamn love life for the entire time.
"Oh but there's Dan too and he- Oh!" she exclaimed as the bus revved and the engine started. "The bus started!" The other patrons of the bus clapped and cheered, and finally, we drove down the road towards the city. I glanced at my watch, and sighed. It was 9 at night, and it would be 10 before I even arrived at Eren's house.
When I finally did arrive, I got into the elevator and waited for the doors to close, but was surprised when someone stopped the door. Upon further inspection, I realized it was Eren's neighbor. She wheeled her wheelchair into the elevator, and immediately began talking.
"So you finally came back." I looked at her, mildly alarmed and surprised she knew who I was. "I'm glad for Eren. He had it hard when you left. There was a lot of crying, and he didn't appreciate my cookies anymore." I felt guilt hit me like a ton of bricks as she gazed at me, waiting for a response.
"I won't leave again." I said at the doors opened, letting us out. She grabbed my hand and palmed me a small bottle that upon inspection, was lube. I deadpanned.
"Good." She turned down the hallway, and, absorbed in my thoughts, I walked to Eren's door and knocked.
Then I knocked again.
And again.
Then I felt my heart sink.
Hes not here.
I slowly left the building, heading back to the bus, and I didn't care where I went, I just wanted to get away.
Which, as Eren walked onto the bus from outside the gay bar, proved to be rather difficult as I slammed my hood over my face. He walked back and sat across from me, staring out the window. I studied him, realizing his hair was longer, his face looked more... adult, and goddamn it, he had gotten taller. Then I was hit with the overwhelming need to say something, and I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"No luck at the bar?" he turned around and looked at me in surprised.
I wanted to leap out the window of the bus and get run over because fucking christ, I am SO stupid.
"Yeah I guess you could say that." He said as he grabbed at the chain around his neck, and my breath hitched as I realized he was wearing the ring I left for him. It also amused me that I had made the right decision, putting it in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians box, where I knew he would find it.
"That an engagement ring?" I asked, panicking.
"Yeah." he mumbled, looking at his ring.
"You guys still together?" I quizzed, and I knew that if there was an award for awkward questions, I would be a shoo in for first place.
"It's uh-" I watched him paused as confusion clouded his face. "It's complicated."
"I would have to agree if you are going to a gay bar on a tuesday night." nervously and awkwardly laughed a little. "But I don't really see how something like that can be complicated." I pressed. Eren was clearly growing tired of my interrogation because his next response was clipped and irritated.
"Oh really?" I wasn't phased. he didn't know it was me and hell, I'll be damned if I didn't use that to my advantage.
"Yeah. theres really only one question." I sat back and put in my earphones, leaving my music paused so he would think I couldn't hear him, but I would. "Is it over for you?" I anxiously awaited his response, but was chagrined when he muttered;
"Fuck off you fuckin' hoodie hobo."
That little asshole. I flicked on my music, and watched at Eren left the bus, and soon after, I left the bus as well, heading towards Trost Clinic. Luckily, I still had my keys and I slumped onto the couch in the waiting room and fell asleep quickly.
"Fuck I HATE wearing clothes two days in a row." I grumbled, heading out the door. I walked down the street, determined to find and as luck would have it, I saw those luminous green eyes walking towards me, and then right past me with a casual, "Hey hoodie hobo!" I sighed heavily as I grab the bridge of my nose.
"Jesus fucking Christ Almighty this kid is gonna kill me." He paused when he heard me and I walked in front of him and stood in his way. I ignored his sounds of confusion as I pulled my hood off. I watched his eyes widen and heard him suck in a breath.'
"You are the single. most. oblivious. person. to ever. walk the earth." I stated, pulling him by his jacket to me, and gently kissing him. I could care less if he was pissed but fuck it all, I was going to enjoy this. I pulled back and murmured "but I missed you" to him. I was glad when he immediately leaned into me and asked me where I had been, and I gave him the short summary of the events yesterday. I remembered the ring around his neck and I immediately reprimanded him.
"By the way, if you don't put that ring on your finger in the next six seconds I will personally kill you because I have waited six years to see it on you shitty brat." Watching him fumble with the ring made me realize that it was an engagement ring that he had gotten without a real proposal, and immediately, I grabbed his hand, and looked deep into his surprised green eyes, and asked;
"Will you marry me?"
Author's Note: Back to Eren! (^_^)
*A few months later*
"I haven't been here since before your dad tried to kill me." Levi joked as he unlocked the door to his house. We both walked in and Levi immediately began complaining about how dirty it was.
We were moving into his house, after many weeks of argument that ended in the fact that Levi didn't have neighbors who yelled at us everytime we banged for being too loud. I smiled at his complaints as I rubbed my thumb over my new wedding band. I remembered Mikasa crying at the small wedding and the old woman who lived next to us embarrassing me in front of my entire family by giving me a years supply of lube as a wedding gift. My dad didn't come, not even to try to kill us. The cops had caught up with him, and he was trying to lie low and stay out of prison.
I was knocked out of my reverie by running into Levi's back. He immediately turned around and pushed me towards the entrance. "I forgot." he whispered to himself. "Actually, let's live in your apartment." he said, taking my hand and pulling me to the entry way.
"What? No. Why?" I asked, confused. I let go of his hand and walked into the room he had pushed me out of, and I froze.
There was an entire wall full of pictures of me. Hundreds of pictures. Pictures of me at school, sleeping, staring into space, smiling, frowning, studying, and even pictures of me from when we were having sex! I turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance, fumbling with my shoes. Levi rounded the corner after me and said "Eren?" I turned around and looked at him.
"Youcan'tleavemewearemarriedthegovernmentsaysso." He rattled off quickly and I stared at him.
"Ho-How did you even get those?!" I asked.
"Most of them I took. Some of them I bought." he answered.
"Why?!"
"I like your face. I like it so much I married it." he smirked. I shook my head.
"You," I said, walking over to him and putting my face inches from his, "are a freak." He looked unimpressed.
"You just figured this out?"
"What? No." He leaned in and kissed me.
"I'm your freak." I smiled.
"I know." I replied softly. Levi smiled, then his face became serious.
"It's time to get dirty." I blushed and Levi took off down the hallway, and I sheepishly followed after.
"Geeze Levi that was cheezy-" I said as I rounded the corner, only to see levi snapping on plastic gloves, face mask and bandana already on and equipped, with the cleaning spray under his arm. I started to laugh, and then I couldn't stop. I laughed so hard tears came out of the corners of my eyes, and only stopped when I saw a flash go off and a curse from Levi. I looked up to see him pressing buttons on his phone with an irritated look on his face.
"God I hate you." I joked, and Levi looked at me,
and waggled his eyebrows.
