Akako's POV

Levi and I moved into one of the houses in Shiganshina. Lisa happily took a room for herself. Things had calmed down a lot, and the Titans were defeated once and for all as of last week.

Autumn was beginning and the cold wind blew through the house as Levi was cleaning up from lunch. I was playing with Lisa. We had a decent sized house, bigger than what I had lived in in my childhood, considering it actually has two floors without including the basement, which just was used for storage or an office when Levi had paperwork.

"Hey Mommy, can I go play at Uncle Eren's today?" Lisa asked randomly. I cocked my head slightly.

"I don't see why not. We have to ask though. He might be busy with Aunt Mikasa and Uncle Armin." Lisa nodded as we got ready to head out. "Levi, I'm bringing Lisa to Eren's, I'll be back soon." He made a noise that he had heard me and Lisa and I headed out. Eren didn't live to far away, he actually lived where our house used to be. Well, him, Mikasa, and Armin. The three didn't want to be separated, and that spot held many memories for the four of us.

The door opened after one knock. Armin saw us and smiled.

"Akako! Lisa! Hello!"

"Hello Uncle Armin." Lisa walked in and hugged his legs. "Okay Mommy, you can go now!" I looked at her for a second. She started to push on my legs.

"You don't want me to stay?" I asked. Lisa shook her head.

"I wanna spend time with Uncle Eren, and Daddy's waiting for you at home." I smiled a little as I kissed her forehead.

"Alright, I'll be back to get you later. Behave." She nodded and ran in. I smiled to Armin. "Tell Eren and Mikasa I say hi." He smiled and hugged me. "Love you."

"Love you too. Now hurry up. Don't want to keep the Corporal waiting." I nodded and headed back home. When I got there, Levi was putting his coat on.

"Levi?" He turned to me.

"We're going out." I just nodded as he grabbed my hand and pulled me behind him after locking up the house. We went out of the walls. I inhaled the air deeply, a large smile on my face. The air seemed sweeter out of the walls, and it made me happy.

"How far out are we going?" I asked as Levi brought me to a small clearing. It was beautiful, and I loved it.

"Right here." I smiled. "Akako?" I hummed as I turned to him. "Marry me?" I froze, blinking a few times. It took me a minute to realize what he said, and I smirked. I was gonna tease this man.

"Is that you proposing?"

"Yes." I sighed.

"Oh darling. You're going to have to be more romantic then that if you want me to say yes." Levi turned to me.

"What?" I crossed my arms.

"You heard me. Come on, I want you down on one knee, ring in hand, saying 'Akako, will you marry me?' I want to actually see your face change from that stoic mask to vulnerable." Levi just stared at me.

"No. I am not fucking doing that." I shrugged.

"Then I'm not saying yes." His jaw dropped.

"You're being serious right now, aren't you?" I nodded.

"I want emotion in it Levi. You know I love you. I love you more than anything. And if you won't do it." I shrugged. Levi sighed.

"I'm not doing it." I sighed.

"Fine then. I will." I got down on my knee and grabbed Levi's hand. "Levi, will you mary me?" Levi just stared at me.

"Get up off the fucking ground! You're not the one supposed to propose!" I giggled as I stood.

"Yeah, but if you won't do it right, I have to." He growled.

"You're really going to make me do this?" I smiled wide.

"Fuck yes!" Levi sighed, getting down on one knee. He pulled a ring from the pocket of his coat and grabbed my left hand.

"Akako Kira. Will you marry me?" I smiled as tears bit the corners of my eyes.

"Yes. I will!" He put the ring on my finger and before he could get up, I tackled him to the ground and kissed him. "Oh my Maria! I don't even know what my surname's gonna be!" Levi rolled his eyes.

"Ackerman." I just stared at him.

"You share a surname with Mikasa?" Levi nodded.

"There's no fucking connection, so don't ask." I smiled.

"Alright. So, Akako Ackerman huh? Has a nice ring to it." Levi smiled a little.

"Yeah, it does doesn't it." He kissed me lightly. "I love you." I giggled a little as I looked at the ring on my finger.

"I love you too." And we kissed again.

Five months later

I woke up to strong arms around me and a firm chest against my bare back. I rolled over and kissed the man on the nose.

"Good morning love." The man opened his eyes lightly.

"Good morning dear." He kissed my lips lightly. "So, Mrs. Ackerman, how do you feel?" I smiled a little.

"Well Mr. Ackerman, I feel great! I could go for some morning sex, if you're interested." Levi smirked a little.

"Don't think we kept the swine up all night?" I smirked.

"Oh, we have many things to get them back for." I said, kissing Levi with hunger. "And you can't think that last night was enough. I can feel my legs already."

"I'll have to fix that." After an amazing round of sex, Levi and I headed to the bathroom. We had gotten married yesterday and were currently on our honeymoon. Lisa and our other adopted child, a nine year old named Landon, where visiting Mimi.

"So, what do we do now? We surely aren't going to have sex for a month." I said, laying back on the bed. Levi shook his head as he laid next to me.

"I'm thinking cuddling and reading will do for now." He pulled his book from the stand beside the bed and cracked it open to start reading. I smiled as I recognized the book. I snuggled closer as I read the title.

Could You Love Me Anyways?
