"HOW WAS YOUR TRIP, LOVE BIRDS?" MIKASA ASKED as she picked up eren and i from the airport. jean accompanied her, giving eren a devilish glare.
"good, everyone has to hang out soon, i miss everyone." i frowned. as much as i did miss everyone, eren and i planned on telling everyone we were engaged just all together and right then and there. no individual announcements, just to keep the word from spreading to a minimum.
"bet you two fucked every night. y/n's face is giving 'i had the best sex of my life' kind of face." jean huffed. of course this fired up eren and the two began arguing immediately. back to normal. i let out a sigh and turned to mikasa.
"soooo, anything new?" i asked the long haired woman. her hair was pulled back as she was in a white tank top and black sweats. she looked like she just woke up, must really not want to deal with eren and jean's bullshit first thing in the morning.
"nothing really, was eren well behaved?" she asked, a small smile on her lips. jean attempted to throw punches to eren in the back but couldn't quite reach, leaving eren laughing at him.
"for the most part, the first night there he was practically on his hands and knees asking for 'paris cheeseburgers'." i laughed, this made mikasa laugh too. we both were aware of erens strange love with cheeseburgers. "but we did have the nicest view from out hotel room facing the eiffel tower, i took a lot of photos.
"good, you're gonna show them all to me." she giggled. i nodded and looked back out the window. eren and jean's argument finally died down, making the car quiet again. i turned to eren who was already looking at me, his eyes widened and he turned away. i let out a soft chuckle and held his hand. he squeezed back and soon enough i was asleep again.

"stop arguing and someone wake her up." mikasas voice lectured, waking me up from my nap. my eyes fluttered open to see mikasa staring at me from the front seat. "oh never mind." she had groceries in her hands and held open the car door with her leg.
"are we home again?" i asked with a yawn. she nodded, i unbuckled and opened the car door to once more hear eren and jean bickering. "guys, shut the fuck up."
"sorry, darling. jean is being a meanie." eren cried and came to hug me. i sighed in annoyance.
"you cock block bastard! i am not!" jean yelled.
"guys— can we just hurry up and bring the suitcases into the apartment?" i groaned, pushing eren off of my and grabbing my 2 suitcases and walking into the lobby of the apartment complex. mikasa looked at me with tired eyes and held the elevator open with her foot. i quickly ran in and we went up to the apartment together.
"jean and i want to move in together." she announced. my head whipped towards hers, she was staring at the screen above the door, looking as the number changed each floor. "that means you and eren should try to find another place, the rent here is enough for the both of you but there's no use for the other 2 rooms."
"man, armin and you gone now. guess we can't stay young forever." i laughed sadly. she elbowed me and chuckled softly. we weren't always going to be together, all of us 4. i knew that, i just didn't want it to come to fruition. armin, mikasa, and eren all mean so much to me, i don't know what i would do without them. i'm happy mikasa is happy jean and that's all i could ask for.
"shit, y/n. you're gonna make me cry now." mikasa coughed up her words. she was never known for crying, in fact she only cried in front of me a few times.
"c'mon, you're not moving that far are you?" i tried to hold back my own tears. the elevator dinged and we both walked into the apartment.
"possibly hawaii." she continued. i froze behind her, her shoulders tensed. "it'll most likely be easier for business."
"that's.. what?" was i could mutter.
"possibly. it's still a 50/50 chance." she turned to me, a tear dropping down her face. "i don't know if i can leave you like that, cause i wouldn't come back." she dropped the groceries, the front door still open. her arms flew around me and she started crying on me. i couldn't help but cry as well, caressing her back.
"hey no, don't think about me. this is for you mikasa." i cried trying to comfort her. she shook her head.
"it's just too far. i mean armin only lives 45 minutes from here." she sobbed more.
"you said there's a 50/50 chance?" she nodded. "then i'll just have to pray and get lucky that you stay near us." i laughed and pulled from her.
"what the hell is happening here?" eren muttered. "why are there groceries on the floor!"
"eren, they're literally crying." jean deadpanned and we turned to face them both. we wiped our faces and i felt eren swoop me up.
"what happened are you okay?" he asked. i nodded and pointed to mikasa. "why are you crying too?" he set me down.
"there's a chance jean and i are moving to hawaii." mikasa muttered. erens face dropped.
"that's so far..."
"only 50/50 though, we're trying to convince the cooperate office that it's better for us to stay here." jean began and held mikasas hand. "they want a few select to move to hawaii to begin a new office there."
"i wish you guys luck, you moving that far would definitely be a difficult change." i smiled towards them. "but i think we do need to move out of here."
"i second that." eren sighed.

"what's the news you had for us you two?" pieck asked. we had finally settled everyone down. it was the end of janurary and we finally got everyone to come and hang out at armin's house yet again. annie was getting more of a bump and they had already planned their wedding this june on the beach.
eren held my hand with the ring on it, the one i've tried to hide from my dear friends for what felt like an eternity. "we're engaged." we said in sync. everyone went crazy and a lot of people came to give us hugs, asking to admire the ring.
"the ring is beautiful, he must've spent a fortune!" sasha gawked and looked at her own hand, empty. "i want a ring!" she cried. i laughed and hugged her.
"i'll ditch eren and marry you." i winked. her face lit up and eren scowled. sasha smirked at eren and went around saying she was marrying me instead of eren. he eventually just laughed and shook his head. i took his hand as everyone began to settle down and go back to talking amongst themselves. i pulled eren to go onto armins balcony and see the view of the ocean. it was a breezy day but it felt nice.
the warm smell of the salty sea water and the subtle waves lapping the sand. it was sorta gloomy out, but it was still nice.
"why are we out here? the party is in there." eren pointed to the door behind him. i walked to the fencing of the porch and rested an elbow on it, supporting my face. admiring the view and then calm silence. "you okay?"
"yeah, i just didn't like that much attention." i laughed. even though i knew everyone there and loved them all deeply, i still couldn't handle large crowds. i've never been too much of a party person. "it's nice y'know. having friends that care about you. a lot of people don't get that." i muttered out of the blue.
"and a lot of people don't get as perfect as a fiancé as i do." he replied and stood next to me. his body warmth that was so familiar and so nice. i leaned my head onto his arm. "are you sure there's not something else on your mind?" he asked.
i hesitated to give a direct answer. but of course he knows when i lie or am hiding something from him so there was likely no use not spilling it. i took a deep breathe and adjusted my head a little more. "you know how mikasa and jean are trying to move out soon?" i questioned him. he hummed and kissed my head again. "well i don't want to live in an apartment, but a house would be too spacious for just the two of us."
"your point is...?" eren urged me to continue, i think he saw where i was going.
"soon enough, let's make those jaeger babies?" i chuckled. children were a pain. i hated them. but as much as i had a desire to never have a child, i couldn't help but think about eren and i as a family. raising our children— good and bad moments. plus! the process of making them is more than enough to make it all the better.
"really?!" he jerked from me and put my face in his palms. i nodded and laughed. he kissed me, a warm and passionate kiss. "i would love for us to be parents together." he smiled. he pulled me into a hug.
"but let's wait until mikasa and jeans moving situation plays out the way it does. and after armins wedding." i hugged eren back. he nodded and agreed. i think we both didn't want to overlap armin and annie's good news with ours, after all they deserve this.
"i know we can't move far because of the company, but i really can't wait to live with you, alone." eren whispered.
"stop being a couple and come parrttaayyyy!" connie screamed at us, obviously drunk.
"it's 1 in the afternoon, connie." eren groaned and walked over to the drunk bald man. they started to laugh together and soon enough they were both back inside.
"it's my favorite wife!" a voice exclaimed, i turned to see no other than sasha. "come on, come on! we're gonna go tell everyone out plans for living together okay!?" she laughed. she walked over to me with a bottle of alcohol in her hand and dragged me inside. i laughed and began to tell everyone sasha and i were married.
