"unforgettable..." eren x black!fem x armin
part 13. this is part 12.
that was the last time you saw eren cry.
that was the last time he begged for you back.
as far as you knew, that was the last time he cried over you.
you weren't over that night, how things went down.
sometimes, you wish you could've said some things differently, changed some things around,
you wondered if it would've changed the outcome of things.
you wondered if he thought the way you did that night whilst driving home, tears probably in his eyes, and you dreaded thinking about the speeds he drove at.
if he was going at a different speed, would that have changed the outcomes of things?
but was your rejection the reason things ended up how they were now?
you didn't know that either.
you scrolled mindlessly through your phone, photos you never deleted, even though you got a new one, you couldn't help but think back on those moments you two had.
you blinked slowly, sitting on the side of your bed, staring at the old photos.
it was so long ago, yet, it felt like yesterday.
when you were two young dummies.
you remembered everything, from that night, to the outcome of it.
flowers in-hand, the way you held your breath, and prepared yourself for the man you were about to see up close.
your hands trembled around the flowers.
the room felt cold, and it felt like you were frozen, but you moved despite anything that tried to stop you.
tears threatened to fall from your eyes, but you held your composure, despite the mild trembling of your bottom lip.
all the memories hit you as you made your way to him.
there was a sniffle from carla, a small sob.
a hum from connie, you noticed it.
you wanted to turn around, walk the other way, but you knew that wouldn't be the right thing to do at all.
your heart throbbed in your chest.
you wore the dress he loved the most.
the perfume he would've loved to smell up close.
and you swallowed when you stood by him.
you remembered it all. who would forget?
as you exhaled and sat back on the bed, you heard the faint footsteps, very faint ones, of your daughter.
a very curious girl, four years old.
a cryptic pregnancy was what it was, you went to the hospital for stomach pains, and left with a daughter.
she stood shyly in the doorway, looking at you with her doe eyes.
you could only smile, standing up and walking over to pick her up.
you put her on your hip and walked down the stairs while talking to her.
"whats wrong? lonely?" you asked, and the little girl hummed, pointing as you led her to the kitchen.
you placed her down in front of the fridge and opened it so that she could pick out whatever snacks she wanted.
you waited patiently as the little girl held her teddy bear close and grabbed a juice pouch, holding it up to you for you to open.
you grabbed it from her hands, closing the fridge door and sitting her on the counter, standing right in front of her to ensure her safety.
"mama?" she said in a shy tone.
you hummed, taking a tiny sip from her juice pouch before giving it to her.
she took a sip after you and when she swallowed, she spoke.
"where's daddy?" she questioned, clueless.
you toot your lips up and inhaled.
you just looked into the girls eyes for a couple seconds before giving her a kiss on her forehead.
"i wish he was here right now, baby."
the girl gave you a sad face that made your heart melt.
you poked your bottom lip out the slightest and picked her up again, taking her to the living room. "wanna watch a movie? we can watch your favorite."
you tried to cheer the girl up.
"where's armin?" she completely ignored your question.
you pursed your lips together, crossing your legs as you plopped down on the couch with the girl and checked your phone.
you and your daughter raised your brows at each other.
"that might be him. you think he's coming to visit you?"
the girl started to smile, hopping off of the couch and completely disregarding her juice pouch as she ran over to the front door, and stood beside it patiently.
you let out a sweet sigh and stood up, walking over to the door.
you unlocked it, turning the nob,
"we were just talking about you." you smiled at the guy in front of you before moving to the side and opening the door wider.
your daughter peeped out, looking up before excitedly jumping up and down whilst holding her hands up.
"here's my favorite girl." he reached down to pick the girl up and toss her in the air a little before catching her and embracing her.
your daughter shouted with a giggle,
you playfully rolled your eyes and closed the door, locking it and crossing your arms.
"i guess im not here." you tilt your head with a smile.
eren turned to look at you and grinned, pulling you into a warm hug and planting kisses all over your face.
"you know i cant forget my wife." he mumbled between kisses, causing you to giggle and push him away.
yes, you still remembered that day.
anxiety through the roof.
tears threatening to leave your eyes, as you walked down the aisle to marry the love of your life.
the small happy sob from carla.
the accepting hum from connie.
sasha and mikasa gripping each others hands with tears in their eyes like their life depended on you making it down the aisle.
jean and ony shaking their heads, patting each others chests as they threatened to cry, being that they both bet money on who'd cry first.
armin standing right behind eren, arms behind his back, as he watched you.
but no one watched you greater than your own boyfriend.
a tear that threatened to leave his eyeโ
he didn't reach up to wipe it, surely you didn't notice, because he knew your eyes were watery themselves.
thats why you didn't see him cry.
you were too busy fighting your own tears.
and soon this year, while you watched eren plant kisses on your daughters cheeks, you thought about how it'd be your one year anniversary.
"my bad, baby. had to work overtime." eren poked his bottom lip out playfully as he plopped down on the couch, his daughter hopping over him in no time.
you huffed, shaking your head. "she just asked about armin." you giggled.
eren raised a brow, looking at his daughter.
"oh, armin's with his girl, i think. you know what a girlfriend is?" he asked his daughter as she dramatic shook her head.
you let out a laugh, playfully hitting his chest before laying your head on it and wrapping your arms around him.
eren's hand found the back of your head, rubbing softly in it.
"you sleepy." he tilt his head while laying it on the armrest. "i told youโ" he looked at his daughter. "โand you not to wait on me."
"but we missed you, daddy!" his daughter squished his cheeks together, making eren smile.
he then looked at you. "did mommy miss me?"
his daughter nod her head aggressively, "she said she wished you were here!"
your head popped up and you laid your chin on erens chest.
eren smiled, while made you smile.
without any words, he leaned down to plant a kiss on your lips.
your daughter gasped and covered her mouth with wide eyes, earning laughs from the both of you.
"me next!" she slapped her forehead before slamming it on erens lips, making him cover his mouth and groan.
you bursted into laughter, pushing yourself off of eren and stretching.
"well, thats enough affection for tonight. come on so you can go to sleep." you stretched your arms out to your daughter and she hopped right into them, wrapping her arms around your neck.
eren held his ring finger up playfully at the two of you, flashing his ring.
you did the same, flashing the diamond on your finger.
seeing his life-long gift to you, he grinned.
"ill be up in a minute. i love you two." he groaned, sittin up and untying his hair to scratch through it.
you smiled as you daughter waved.
"we love you more, daddy!"
yeah, this was the life you wanted.
this was the life you knew you wanted, but you didn't know you'd have.
and when eren saw you, walking down that aisle, all because you had a pure heart, heard him out when he begged you to,
that was the last thing that made him cry.
being a husband, a father, and deeply in love all at once.
what more could a man wish for?
after all, who couldnโt yearn to earn a woman so unforgettable?
