One Condition (ErenxReader)

A sigh passed through his lips as he stared up into the moonlight. You stared at him, wondering what he was thinking. This was his dream, joining the Survey Corps, but was it truly worth all of this trouble? Eren was looked down upon because of his Titan powers, and you couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. He was a kind man, just looking for a place in the world like you. You felt hopeless, and you wished you could do something to help him feel human again.

“Eren I…” you sighed, “I’m so sorry.”

“What are you going on about?”

His bright green eyes stared at you in confusion, and you felt a bit guilty for making him feel like that. “I’m sorry for all that’s happened. I could have been there for you when you needed me most.”

The brunette sighed, “There was nothing you could do. We all had our hands full.”

You gently touched his shoulder, gingerly rubbing small circles. You and Eren had known each other since you were both children, and you cared for him more than you let on. You were a little older than him, and you graduated before him. You had feelings you wanted to keep hidden. You couldn’t let him see, especially since you were all in the army and there were more important things to worry about. He never worked with relationship feelings anyways. Mikasa tried her best to make it clear she wanted to be his, yet he basically ignored her romantic advances. Having a crush on Eren made you worry, especially with all of his goals in mind. Would he ever want to settle down once this was all over? Did he ever think about that?

“It wasn’t your fault (F/n). Everybody was on edge. Even Armin wasn’t calm, and that says something.”

You sighed, “I guess that’s true. I still could have done more though…Captian Levi beat you up real bad.”

None of the injuries were there anymore, but you still remembered how he looked after the court case. Eren was a mess, and it took all of your power not to tend to him. You knew it was for a good cause, and it definitely helped Eren a lot, but it still irked you how forceful the captain was.  He could have held back just a tad. Now the headstrong brunette was slightly terrified of him.

“Eren I wish I could do more for you. I want to always be there for you and always have your back.”

He blinked, “But you’re already like that.”

“No I…I’m not able to be like Mikasa. I’m not as strong, and I can’t say I’m family, so I have no excuse to tend to you.”

He smiled up at the moon, his pure happiness making you blush slightly. His eyes stared into yours as he said, “Well I guess we’ll have to make an excuse for you then. We can’t really be family since that would be really weird.”

“I agree. How about best friend?”

Eren shook his head, “No Armin already has that title. Hmmmm…..I got it!”

He took your hands suddenly, “How about you be my bride?”

Your eyes widened and your face burned up in a firey inferno, “H-H-HUH!?”

His eyes sparkled under the illuminated night sky, “You’d make the perfect wife (F/n), and you’re really strong. You have clear goals, and your name sounds beautiful with Jaeger added to the end.”

“E-E-Eren are you sure you know what you’re a-asking!?”

He stared into your oh so beautiful eyes for a few minutes. You never found (e/c) to be that great of a color, but according to Eren they look amazing. His specific green eyes are so vibrant and gorgeous though, you couldn’t help falling into them.

“Listen to me,” he whispered, gripping your hands tighter, “You are an amazing girl, and I love everything about you. I-I can’t explain it easily, but I feel happy whenever I’m around you. It’s really strange, but I know these feelings are true.”

You sighed, “Okay fine…I-I’d love to be your bride…but on one condition.”

He nodded.

With a smirk tugging on your lips, you stood up and crossed your arms, “I want you to acknowledge your feelings out loud, if they are even feelings.”

He smiled, “Challenge accepted! Only…well…how am I supposed to do that?”

You patted his back, “Figure that out yourself Jaeger. Believe it or not I think you’re pretty smart, so I have faith in you.”

You walked off towards the girl’s dorms, “See you in the morning.”

Flames of fire burned the pit of your stomach as you walked off, your face red with happiness and embarrassment. Who knew he’d ask something like that?

…

The next morning you woke up to a trail of flowers at your bed and a little note. You groaned, still sleepy from thinking about the previous night’s events. There was a little note along with a gorgeous flower on you and your bunk mate’s nightstand. The note read:
The flowers represent the beauty you’ve shown me.
This flower is how I see you.

You picked up the vase and smelled the vibrant flower. You smiled, your heart beating a mile a minute. Was this Eren’s doing? Did he really find you…beautiful? Was this real? Well, you couldn’t dwell in your thoughts too much. The day had to begin, and you needed to get dressed. You slipped on your uniform, struggling on the belts like you usually do, slipped the note in your back pocket, and followed the trail out of the girl’s dorm. Your eyes glittered in awe as you saw another note by the door:

This long path represents our future together.

The times we shared together mean everything to me.

Your eyes watered and a wide smile spread across your lips. Eren has done so much for you, and seeing all of this reminded you how you truly felt for him. Little things like this made your heart flutter. Eren wasn’t much of a sweet talker, but these little notes and flowers made you melt. The trail lead you to the mess hall. You took a deep sigh and entered the double doors. Deep green eyes stared into yours, the flowers circling around his kneeling form. Your eyes widened and a small gasp escaped from your lips.

“(F/n),” he said, holding the last note in his hands, “I have always loved you, and I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you. You are a strong, brave girl that I can share my dreams with. You care for Armin, Mikasa, and I. You take care of my family as if they are your own. You are an amazing soldier as well as an amazing woman, and I want to formally propose to you what I’ve wanted to say for a long time. (F/n)…once this is all over…will you be my bride?”

You started crying, your heart beating fast against your ribs. You swore you had hearts in your eyes. Eren was just so sweet, and you felt as if you were flying. You slowly walked over to his now standing for, wiping at your tears. These feelings were so extreme, and you were just so happy. You never thought you would ever feel this happy before. Your arms opened and enveloped Eren in a deep, loving hug.

“Y-Yes,” you choked, your head nestling in his chest, “I-I’d love to.”

He chuckled and rubbed your back lovingly, “So I did ok?”

Your eyes widened and you stared up at Eren, “This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Eren you did more than ok. This is fantastic.”

Soft lips pressed themselves against the top of your (h/c) head, his fingers playing with your soft locks, “That makes me happy.”

Now you had a name for yourself. You meant something great to Eren. You weren’t just a girl from his childhood now. You were now his bride to be, his fiancée, and his girl. Now you had even more of a reason to kill all of the titans. You wanted to raise a family with him in a safe environment.

Was that so much to ask?
