ex-boyfriend! laxus who would do anything for you. If you were to call him drunk from the club in need of a ride, he would pick you up, though he might scold you a bit.

"I'm home!" You were met with silence as you softly shut the front door of your new apartment closed. The numerous bags in your arms dropped since the weight of them had been straining you all day. After gently pushing them to the wall with your foot, you ventured towards the hallway. The open door to the bedroom you shared with Kidd remained empty with only the bare necessities inside.

Clank!

The sudden sound made you turn your head towards the spare room at the end of the hall. The door was closed, but it didn't keep Kidd's muffled groans and shouts of frustration shut in the room. You giggled as you turned the doorknob and opened the door.

"Eustass! I'm home!" Said man was hunched over something that was blocked from your sight. He whipped his head around and looked you up and down.

"Hey there, sweetheart. Didn't hear you come in." He got up and walked over towards you. Once he stood tall in front of you, he suddenly gripped you by the hips and pulled you flush to his body.

His eyes raked over the cropped denim top and white mini skirt that adorned your body. The plunging neckline and short cut of the clothing did wonders for your curves.

"You went out shopping for decorations like this? I'm going with you next time, then." He grumbled as his grip traveled all around your body. You let out a squeal when his hand smacked your ass in a teasing manner.

"I asked you to, but you said you were 'too busy' so I just went on my own. What were you so busy with anyways?" You pouted up at him as you started to rub your hands on his bare chest. The light sheen of sweat on his body and the fact that he swapped his usual grey sweats out with some shorts made you think he was getting around to setting up his at-home workshop.

Kidd smirked down at your hands and then at you, "take a look behind me, sweetcheeks. Hope you like it." With that, you peeked around his build and gasped.

Behind Kidd was a completed vanity. The white vanity came with two columns of drawers, along with the pull out drawer under the table top. The table top had crystal-clear glass that showcased the drawer beneath. The best part was the huge mirror with LED lights on the border.

You ditched the redhead behind you to closely inspect the brand new piece of furniture. The mirror even connected to your phone for music!

Suddenly, you felt Kidd press up behind you and circle his hands over your lower stomach. He hid his face in the crook of your neck as he mumbled, "I take it you like it?"

"I love it! Thank you so much, Eustass!" In the middle of checking the storage space, you remembered what room you're in.

"Wait, but baby, isn't this your workshop room? Where are you gonna put your table and all your stuff?" The room wasn't as big as the bedroom, but it could fit a few more larger pieces of furniture.

"Don't worry about it. I'm putting my stuff against one of the other walls. Thinking about putting a curtain or something so that the your side doesn't get messy." You looked up at him with a sweet smile that can make Kidd say yes to anything you ask.

"Thank you, I really mean it. It means a lot to me that you would gift me something like this." With that, you planted a sweet kiss on his lips, which he happily reciprocated.

Kidd hummed against your lips with a smug smirk, "yeah? Wanna show me how thankful you are?" A gasp ripped past your lips as he smacked your ass again.

"Mmm, I knew you would like this outfit. But no! I need to show you the decor I got first!"

"Babe, c'mon! That can wait." Kidd groaned as he tried to reach for you, but you simply walked past him and out the door.

"Nope! You're gonna fall asleep if I don't show you now, so come here!" Your voice echoed down the hallway while Kidd groaned.

It was late into the night and all you could think about was satisfying your midnight cravings. 

You got out of bed and slipped on some shorts and a random shirt that you found in Michael’s closet. The plan was to silently leave the apartment and go grab the food you craved before Michael could notice your absence. Said plan, however, fell through as soon as you grabbed the door knob of the bedroom. 

“Mein Liebchen, where are you going?” Michael’s groggy voice interrupted you. The German sat up as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes. He pat the empty space next to him and urged you to go back to him. 

You felt bad for waking him up, especially when he looked so sweet and precious in his tired state, “I’m sorry, sweetheart. I didn’t mean to wake you up. Go back to sleep, I’m gonna run out at get a snack. I’ll be back soon.” 

You tried to leave again, but you heard the sheets shuffling on the bed. Michael was walking towards you with his eyes barely open. 

“I’ll drive you. Wanna stay with you.” He tried reaching for you hand and finally found it after a few attempts due to the lack of light in the room. You tried to reassure him that you could manage by yourself and he needed to rest, but he insisted on going with you. 

This led to you being in the passenger seat of Michael’s Porsche as he drove to the closest McDonald’s. His hand was caressing your bare thigh as you both hummed along to whatever song was playing on the radio. 

Only Michael would take you to McDonald’s to satiate your spicy nugget craving in the middle of the night.

After another successful victory for Bastard Munchen, Michael wanted to take you out to a fancy dinner. 

“Are you sure you don’t wanna go to the after party? I don’t want to take away you away from your team and ruin the post-game excitement.” Michael simply huffed at the inquiry as he adjusted the rolled up sleeves of his button down dress shirt. 

“Yes, I’m sure. They’re probably just going to the club. After all, they don’t have an angel of a partner waiting for them at home like I do.” Michael winked at you and laughed as you rolled your eyes at his last statement. 

You walked over to the assortment of clothes you had as options for tonight, “okay fine, but don’t complain when you get bombarded with texts and calls from Ness and the others begging for you to join them.” 

Michael completely ignored your statement and stood flush to your back, examining your options. 

“Wear the red dress. The one with the slit.” His hands lay on your hips and slowly rubbed up and down your sides. 

“Since you’re begging for me to wear it, I guess I have to.” You let out an exaggerate, but amused sigh as you felt Michael smile against the back of your neck. You slipped into the sleek dress with a pair of heels and applied makeup as quickly as possible. All the while, Michael wouldn’t let you go. Even as you were applying your favorite lip combo, he insisted you do so while sitting on his lap. His tattooed hand grazed tour thigh that was exposed by the slit. 

“On second thought, let’s just stay here.” The sheer audacity to say that as you were getting ready made you side eye the blond through the mirror of your vanity. 

Michael giggled as you simply ignored his suggestion, “I’m kidding, Meine Prinzessin, don’t worry. As much as I would like to keep you here for my eyes only, I want to show you off as much as I can.” He kissed the nape of your neck. You knew that his club manager’s request to keep your relationship a secret was starting to get to him. He had done well to keep it low key for the past year and seven months. 

You turned around so you could see him and  grasped at his pouty cheeks. It was a sight that you hoped only you would ever behold. Placing a gentle kiss on his pouted lips, you leaned your forehead against his. Michael closed his eyes and just basked in your presence and warmth. After a few minutes, he suddenly lifted you up bridal style and made his way to the front door. You giggled as he carried you all the way to the Porsche. 

You’re the only person in the world that Michael would choose to celebrate with in such an intimate way.

Even as you scrolled through all the comments from the video, the buzzing didn’t cease. Thus, your beloved woke up from his midday nap, it’s for his much needed beauty sleep, he claims. Michael lifted his head from your stomach with his eyes closed, as he tends to do. His arms that surround your middle section squeezed just a tad tighter as he groaned and grumbled.

“What are you looking at? Put that down and nap with me.” You ignored his demand and simply turned your phone towards him. It took him a few seconds to adjust his eyes before he started to absorb what was in front of him. The smug grin on his face was expected due to the comments you saw that praised him as ‘god-tier’ boyfriend material. As fast as his smile appeared, it vanished.

"Taiju! When did you get home? I didn't even notice you!" He let out a short laugh as you slithered your way towards him under the blanket.

"I could tell, you seemed a little busy." You brought your phone over to show him what you were so occupied with as he got ready to take a shower.

"Look, aren't they just adorable!" Taiju squinted and reeled back a bit when you shoved your bright screen in his face. His eyes focused in on a video of a little girl, no older than three years, greeting the camera in her own babbles and blowing kisses to her parents. The matching mother-daughter outfits, the happy family of three, and everything else in the tiktok made his chest feel light.

While he was trying to figure out his emotions from the video, you were gushing over the baby's cuteness, which led to an accidental confession.

"I want a baby so bad, Tai." This made the man freeze and look back at you. It seemed like you didn't even notice until he stopped you rambling.

"Say that again for me." Staring back at him in confusion, you went over the last sentence you said and gasped. You felt heat rush to your cheeks as you slowly cowered back under the covers. However, your husband didn't like that one bit. He gentle tore the covers from your body and hovered over you.

"Run me by that one more time, princess." His eyes bore down into yours as you tried explaining yourself.

"Come on, pretty girl, tell me what you want."

You finally held his stare and gently grabbed his face, pulling him in for a short and sweet peck.

"I want a baby, your baby." You whispered the words softly against his lips, feeling him smile as he leaned down to kiss you again. This time, he deepened it and let it last longer before parting.

"Good, because I planned on making you my wife and the mother of my children the second I laid my eyes on you." That sentence alone set you ablaze and had your heart hammering out of your chest.

You giggled up at him and playfully shoved his shoulder, "you pervert, what if I wasn't into you, hm?" He grinned down at you.

"Obviously that wasn't the case, now is it?" With that, he pushed himself up and off the bed. You sat up in confusion as he walked towards the bathroom.

"Where are you going all of a sudden?" Your pouted lips made him chuckle.

"Taking a shower, need to wash of all the grime before I get in bed."

You ponder for a moment, before swinging you legs over the side of the bed in anticipation, "can I join?"

Taiju looked back with a smirk adorning his face, "want to start our family already? It's late, but I'm fine with that."

After everyone, including Zeke, finished eating, the parents went inside to socialize.

You stayed in the yard with Eren and Zeke, deciding that the now cool breeze and moon winking down at you were more appealing than the AC and TV inside.

"So, Y/N, you moved here today with your parents?" Zeke asked, walking towards where you were seated with three glasses of lemonade.

Eren snorted from his chair across from you, "obviously, Dad told you that." In response, Zeke glared at him.

"I'm trying to start a conversation moron. I didn't get to introduce myself as soon as she got here. Unlike you, I have a job." With that, the brothers started to playfully go back and forth with their banter, making it seem like they forgot about your presence.

"Yeah, I did, to answer your question. My parents wanted to move houses since I'm usually away for college." The sound of your voice garnered their attention, once again.

Zeke pondered for a bit, then asked, "why here, though? Your mom told me you guys are from Marley. Not too far, but definitely not a daily commute."

You looked back up at the moon, as it twinkled higher in the sky than the last time you checked.

"I don't know, actually. I didn't have enough time to ask when they told me, since they decided to keep it under the rug for awhile."

While you were looking up, the boys shared a look, deciding to change the subject when they noticed how you looked at the moon.

It was Eren this time, "so where do you go to college?" You perked up when he mentioned college.

"Oh, I go to Paradis University!" It was Eren and Zeke's turn to lighten up.

"No way! I go there too! And Zeke attends their law school." Zeke nods along, mentioning that he's graduating soon.

As the conversation flows, you learn that Eren's debating on changing his major after you told him your own. It was surprisingly easy to talk to the brothers, even though they're ways of conversing seem to differ. Eren's more outgoing and bold with his words, while Zeke tends to observe, then put in his two cents.

"Wow, I didn't even notice how late it was. I'm sure the parents haven't either." You glanced down at your phone, and it was nearing midnight.

You frown slightly, stretching your body as you get up from the wicker chair, "I should get going then, we still have a lot to unpack." The boys got up from their chairs, ready to lead you back into the house to regroup. Before you can go inside, Eren stops you.

"Hey, tell you what, give us your number and we'll introduce you to our friends here! Most of them go to Paradis, too, so you might know of them already. Maybe not Zeke's group though, they're archaic."

Zeke clicks his tongue in annoyance, about to start another round of teasing. You laugh and oblige, putting your contact into both of their phones.

"That should do it, I look forward to seeing you guys again, good night!" The Jaeger's wave as your family heads back home.

As soon as you get back to your room, you hear your phone chime.
