{Levi's Point of View}
I headed back to my room to awake (your name) for the day. The survey corps has the day off, aside from the meeting us ranked members had this morning. As I closed in to my room door I noticed it was slightly cracked. Was she already awake? I approached the door and heard (your name) gently singing. As she did so I quietly opened the door to lean on its frame and listen to the words.
You love me like a Winter rose
Precious and unusual
Blood red petals, kiss the snow
Resiliant to cold
While other blooms are still just buds
I am reaching for the sun
You want me like a Winter rose
A bloom you've never known
You love me like a Winter rose
Precious and unusual
Blood red petals, kiss the snow
Resiliant to cold
And when my petals fade their red
Will you pluck my weeping head?
Or will you love me till the end?
Your only Winter rose
You love me like a Winter rose
Precious and unusual
Blood red petals, kiss the snow
Resiliant to cold
You love me like a Winter rose
Precious and unusual
Blood red petals, kiss the snow
Resiliant to cold
I smiled as she finished singing. I had heard her sing before but this was a new song. It seemed fitting Consider how our relationship started a year ago.
"Your beautiful." Was the only words that managed to escape my lips. She jumped up in sight surprise, as she had been making the bed. She turned around with a smile and came forward to embrace me. After a second she pulled back and I gently kissed her. Our kiss was passionate. So much so that I wanted nothing more than to lay her down and ruin the bedsheets she had just finished folding. But I held back. I wanted to savor this moment as much as possible. When we finally did pull apart I had a gut feeling Take over me. I had something I wanted to do today. I needed to do it today. "Is there anything you would like to do today?" I asked (your name).
"Hmmm..."
"Anything at all."
"In that case, the weather is very nice today, how about a tea picnic?"
I smiled. She loved tea just as much as I did. "That sounds perfect. Should I give you time to prepare? After all, you're still in your PJs."
She giggled and nodded. "I also need to prepare the picnic basket."
I nodded. "While you do that I'll change out of my uniform from this morning's meeting and complete some paperwork. Will two hours be enough?" She nodded. "Then I'll let you get to it." She smiled once more before heading to her room. We slept together every night in my room but since this was the survey corps, she still had a separate room.
"Oh I'm going to go ahead and tell you I'll see you later. I want my outfit to be a surprise." She came back to kiss my cheek before she ran off. This was going to be the perfect day.
~Time Skip: Two hours later~
I knew the knock on my office door well as it had a pattern to it which belonged to (your name). I stood up from my desk and adjusted my suit. It was a gift from (your name) when she returned in order my to see her father, the king. I hadn't worn it since. And it seemed as though (your name) had the same idea because when she walked in she wore the exquisite dress with she had worn when she came back for me. She still wore royal but she had toned it down quite a bit. It was efforts to blend it but at the c same time she didn't want to lose her royal touch.
"It seems as though I'm not the only one who wanted to dress up today." She smiled as she adjusted my suit.
"I know I've already said this once today, but your beautiful."
She continued to smile before she looked me in the eyes. "I love you, Levi." I felt my heart skip a beat. I doubt there would ever be a time where she couldn't do that to me. "Are you ready. I decided to go ahead and set everything up so all we have to do is walk there."
"Your secret spot?" I questioned knowing she had found a hidden creek around here not long after she came back and enjoyed visiting it.
"You know it!"
I grew nervous as we walked to her spot. She was so breathtakingly beautiful and couldn't wait for tonight. When we made it, I saw the most outdone picnic (Your name) had done by far. I could tell she used her princess status to retrieve expensive foods and tea. I wonder what made her want to do all this?
We sat down, hungry considering we had yet to eat anything. We took our time and ended up feeding each other playfully at times. Now (your name) laid her head on my legs and we watched the clouds.
"(Your name)."
"Hmm?"
"Do you ever miss the castle?" I asked.
"Not really but than again that's probably because of all the rules my father put in place for me. My room is lavishly decorated and I still get to wear and eat expensive things. I've just cut back a lot and it's honestly been relaxing." She leaned up and looked at me. "Also, living in the castle, doesn't bring me nearly as much joy as you do."
My heart skipped a beat once again and I decided now was the time. I reached into my pocket. "I know we've only been together only for a year but you're my everything (Your name)." She gasped and covered her mouth when she saw me pull out a ring box. "I never want you to leave my side and I never want to leave yours. Will you be please stay with me forever and be my wife?"
(Your name) smiled happily and cried in joy as she nodded. "Yes!" I placed the ring on her finger and we embraced each other tightly. "I love you so much, Levi."
"I love you too." I paused. "Would you still be your highness after marrying me?" I joked around.
(Your name) pulled back and laughed. "That between you and my father."
"We'll considering I did travel to ask for his blessed on a day I claimed I had work in the inner wall, I think he might favor me a little more now."
(Your name) giggled and continued to smile. I knew how much asking her father for his blessing meant to her and though I was against it at first, I would do anything for her.
Any and every thing.
