I know I took a long writing this chapter, I'm sorry, buuut this chapter is longer and has a surprise for you❥❥.

Bye lovelies, enjoy the chapter.

It seems like you'll never know since it's been an hour and the driver Levi mentioned hadn't arrived.  You decided to just leave to the venue yourself, the anticipation had gotten to you anyway.

Hopefully, Levi wouldn't mind if you took one of his cars. You'll just tell him no driver showed up. You just hoped the driver that was supposed to pick you up doesn't show up and for nobody to come out.

Actually, if the driver is who you think he is, then he won't have to wait at all.

"Maron?" You say.

"Miss Y/n?"

"Yeah, are you working today?"

"Well actually, ma'am, I'm supposed to pick you up, but I've gotten myself into a situation." He sputters.

"No worries Maron, just call Levi and tell him I'm not coming with you." You explain.

"Tell, him?" He asked, feeling a shiver down his spine.

"Yeah," You encourage, already seated in the car. "Anyway, I need to go, but I'll talk to you soon."

"Ok," He mumbled, sounding deflated.

You end the call and start to move out of the garage, and away from Levi's house.

Yeah right, tell boss that I screwed up myself, no thank you. Maron gripped the steering wheel harder than before and pressed his head against it. "Oh, I'm getting fired."

The phone started to ring.


"Maron, where are you?" Levi questioned. Anyone with ears could tell he wasn't in the best mood. "Did you get Y/n?"

"I'm uh, on my way, sir," Maron stated and sighed. "She should be coming soon."

"What do you mean she'll be coming soon, is she not there with you?" He questioned again. Levi ran his hands through his hair.

"Is y/n not in the shit you're driving?" He asked again with force.

"Maron," Levi sneered, his voice dangerously low. Though before he could chew out Hange grabbed the phone from Levi's hand. "Heyyyy, Maron was it, Levi's a little grumpy so I'm gonna hang up now, but he wants you to come to the party, byeeeeeee."

Hange ends the call and places the phone in Levi's hands. He only glares at her before letting out a sigh. "This surprise was a stupid idea, " Levi said.

"It isn't stupid," Hange reassured him. "I've never seen you do anything like this for anyone."

"I should've just told her," He admitted.

"She's going to love this." Hange encouraged him. Although he knew you would probably be happy, he couldn't help but doubt his actions. "You told me she barely ever celebrates her birthday, so this will be a nice surprise."

Since she isn't here yet, we still have time to get everyone in their seats.

The address took you to a big building, with a glass ceiling. At least you thoughts so. You were probably late, only because of the limo that never showed.

There were a lot of cars parked before you, which made the walk to the venue longer than it probably should have.

Once you opened the entrance, you were met with a large sign with an arrow pointing to the left. You turned in that direction

I don't understand, is this some kind of really fancy restaurant?

"Where is y/n?"Levi says quietly.

"I think I'm here." You mumble to yourself.

When the double doors open, everyone turns their attention to you. Beautiful lights hang from the wall illuminating the room, a chandelier in the middle, providing the most light.

Your guests go quiet, then

"Happy Birthday Y/n!!!" Everyone exclaimed.

You're astonished at the crowd, the lights, and the beautiful decor. Upon seeing you, everyone in the room smiled when seeing you. Though, there was one person in particular that you wanted to see. That you needed to see.

The person standing in the middle of everything, looking directly at you with his transparent grey eyes. It seemed like a path steadily opened up, leading you to him.

You passed some of your friends and others you didn't know. A few of them whispered happy birthday and other things, but your focus was on him.

A few steps closer,

"Hey," He whispered. He looked at you as if you were a star in the sky. One that shone brighter than the rest. You return his gaze feeling a sense of comfort.

"Levi, I," You let out. "I don't know what to say,"

"Happy birthday Y/n," He wished you, the faintest smile being shown. He could feel his heart flutter at the way you looked at him.

"You don't have to,"  He assured.

"Then I won't," You agree, taking your hands and placing them on each side of his face and meeting his unsuspecting lips with yours. Levi's eyes widened ever so slightly, but he quickly returned your affection.

A few whistles could be heard from the people around along with cheers and laughs.

"Alright, break it up lovebirds, we need to party!" A guest shouted. You and Levi pull apart, whilst the crowd cheers. Thus began the party.

———————————

"Mikasa, I got you a drink," Armin says, handing it to her. She gratefully takes the glass and smiles as a thank you. He stands next to her while Jean stands next to him.

"Does anyone know when they will serve food?" Sasha asked, leaning on Connie, who was doing the same.

Eren spotted you among the crowd and watched make a few rounds, mingling with the guests.

You looked away for a split second to see him and the rest of the gang. You quickly walk to where they are. Before you could say or do anything Jean wrapped his arms around you. After him, was Sasha who seemed to be weary of something.
"So you're not mad?"She hoped.

"No, I am mad." You deadpan, watching her hopeful expression turn to fear.

"But we'll talk about it later." You inform her. "Tonight, we party." You laughed. You weren't actually mad at her, it was kinda funny to pretend. Sasha pouted. "Shorty is rubbing off on you." She mumbled making everyone chuckle.

"I'm joking Sasha." You ease. "But you all should enjoy yourselves."

"Oh, believe me, once I find out where the food is, I will be having a good time," Sasha said. She started to daydream about the food that could be served tonight.

"Anyway, I have to go." You say."There are a few other people I plan to meet."

"Don't worry we'll talk later, "Mikasa assured you.

You turn to Sasha. "And Sasha, I'll ask if the food could be served early." She looks at you then scrunches her face in a happy expression, while her eyes begin to look glossy. "You would do that for me?" She asked. You laugh at her expression before walking to the next set of guests

"Ymir, Historia!" Sasha exclaimed. "I'm glad you guys made it."

"Hey Eren," Ymir said, obtaining Eren's attention. She nudged his arm before saying, " A little birdie told me that you like pigeons."

Eren's frown turned upside down as he cringed at the mention of his "scandal". Jean and Connie burst out laughing while Mikasa and Armin tried to contain theirs.

Mf said🙂🙁.

Marco walked up and sees Jean laughing hysterically. "What's so funny?" Jean turned to Marco still laughing. "Eren's a pigeon patriot."

"Shut up Horseface." He retorted. Mikasa followed. "You have to admit, it was so fake that it is funny."

"Pigeon Patriot, fucking gold," Connie says, face turning red.

"There was no evidence, except pictures of him holding pigeons and feeding them."

"Why?" Historia asked.

"He sometimes volunteers at this one bird shop and just happened to get caught taking some out of their cages and other things," Armin explained. Jean couldn't contain his laughter and doubled over. "He looked so shady, have you seen the pictures, or the video?" Jean asked.

"Can we talk about something else?" Eren pleaded, already tired of the conversation.

"It was everywhere, I know your PR team had a couple of field days," Marco stated.

"I'm so hungry," Sasha said.

30 minutes

Levi takes the microphone. "Excuse me." He waits for the crowd to quiet down before he continues. "First, thank you all for coming today, it wouldn't have been much of a surprise without you."

"You all know, or at least have heard of Sakurai L/n." He addressed. "Some of you unfortunately work for him," Levi added, garnering a few laughs from the crowd.

"I mean, you did work for him," He said, with emphasis on did. "But today, you no longer work for Sakurai," Levi stated. He sees you in the crowd, looking visibly confused.

You made eye contact with him, awaiting his next words. He seems to have another trick up his sleeve.

"All the employees that used to work for him, now work for you. Y/n" He announced.

"What?" You murmured underfed your breath.

"Surprise." He said.

"It's all true," Kenny said, making the attention fall on him. "Sakurai signed the company away, as of today,  you no longer work for him."

"You all now work for Y/n, who, by the way, is perfectly capable of running the corporation." He finishes, flashing a smile.

"If any of you would like to know how Sakurai treated his employees, I'm sure one of them would be happy to tell you." Levi directed.

"Something that none of you are aware of is that Y/n was supposed to own L/n corp. when she was 21, among other things I cannot go into detail," He added. "This was to ease those weary of the sudden change in ownership."

Historia smiled and looked at Ymir, joyfully.
"Honestly I don't care who I work for, as long as it's not that old shit for brains." Ymir shrugged off. She was still ecstatic to know she would be working under someone different. Historia knew it too.

"Please enjoy yourselves for the rest of the night, food will be served shortly." He finished. People near congratulated you, shaking your hand or pressing a hand to your shoulder.

————————

Levi watched you mingle through the crowd while heading up the stairs. He waited for some minutes before following. The stairs lead to a few rooms on the right and left, along with 2 balconies, one also on either side.

It was already dark and the moon was illuminating the sky. The balconies faced outside in the back of the building, which is why you didn't notice them before. You turned around when the footsteps behind you became louder.

He stood beside you, silently admiring you and the moon.

"How?" You ask. "How long were you hiding this?"

"How did you even think of this?" You question.

Levi sighed before answering. "It wasn't me, it was that old bastard, though the party was my idea " Levi admitted. "But we need to give credit where credit is due, if your father wasn't such an ass, none of this would have happened."

"Gee I wish he came, so I could thank him," You joked, making Levi smile. It was enchanting, you wished you could see it all the time. You wish you felt like this all the time.

Levi's hands brushed against both sides of your face, to wipe away the tears coming from your eyes. You didn't realize you were crying.

"Oh," You whispered

"I wanted you to be happy, not cry brat," He quipped. Though for some reason that only sparked more tears to flow. He wiped them all away.

"I am happy, with and because of you, "You confess. Your hands tied around his waist.

"Oh," He whispered.

He looks into your eyes, but instead of matching his gaze, your focus is on his lips. You realize that he noticed this and looked into his eyes. At the same time, his eyes switched to your lips.

There were only a few inches in between you and Levi. A few turned to one and turned into none when Levi gently pulled you to him. Gracing his lips with yours, he slowly tilted his head for the sake of easing into it.

The soft kiss slowly became more affectionate as it felt like you had been craving this moment with him. He removes his hand from your face and placed them on both sides of your hips which pulled you closer. You in turn take your hands and place them on the sides of his neck, deepening the kiss.

You felt a warm sensation slowly rise in your body. You only have an idea about what will happen if you progress further. Now isn't the place.

As if reading your mind, he releases. His head is in the same position but his eyes looked up to meet yours and his eyebrows were slightly tilted up. His hands were also in the same position, but he was grasping your sides tighter.

"Was that, too much?"He whispered.

You let out a breath and shook your head in response to his question. "I, I wouldn't mind-

"More?" He guessed. He slowly took his hands from your sides. You remove your hands from his slender neck. He took half a step away backward. "Me too, but-"

"I know," You stop him. Feeling a little flustered you avert your eyes to his shoes instead of his face.

"But-

"There you are, oh-" Kenny took a few steps outside before stopping. "Am I interrupting something?" Kenny smiled cheekily and folded his arms. Levi glared at him. "What do you want, bastard."

"Well, Y/n, there are some more people downstairs I would like you to meet, if it ok with your bodyguard," Kenny teased.

You smiled at his joke but Levi didn't find it too amusing. Though that was expected since Levi didn't find Kenny amusing at all. You give Levi a quick hug before walking to Kenny and giving him an even bigger one.

"Thank you, Kenny, you don't know how much this means to me." You say.

Kenny flashed a toothy grin. "Aww Y/n, it was nothing." He brushed it off. You release him from your grasp, then head downstairs with him.

———————————————

Eren watched Mikasa kiss Armin passionately while he had his arms around her. He walked off away from the crowd, a feeling of resentment pooling inside him.

He wanted to be away from them.

When Armin and Mikasa pulled away from each other they noticed Eren wasn't there with Connie and Jean. "Where's Eren?" Mikasa asked.

Connie pointed in the direction Eren went. "He looked upset," Connie stated. Mikasa looked at Connie confused before she started to walk in that direction.

————————————————-
Kenny took you to see some employees from your new company, as well as your partners and some other guests. You also met the person who planned the event with Levi. They informed you that they needed to be your wedding planner. You agreed playfully.

Kenny informed you that he was going to get a drink, leaving you alone to mingle. You wanted to find Levi again.

Maybe he's still on the balcony. You thought. You moved through the crowd towards the staircase leading up to the balconies and rooms on each side.

The music and the guest became a smidge quieter when walking to the balcony you last were. Upon getting closer you feel yourself slip back into the moment you and Levi shared earlier.

The way his calloused hands grabbed your sides, the way his lips tasted, the way he smelt.

The way he looked.

It was so obvious that you had fallen for him. Was it obvious to him? Would you ever admit it to him? I guess if he already knows, then I won't have to.

You heard a familiar voice coming from one of the rooms before you could reach the balcony. Once you got closer, you could hear distinctly Eren's voice.

"You know how I felt about her, "He sneered.

So someone else was in the room.

"Of course, I knew," Armin admitted.

"Did you really think I'd wait?" He asked.

Eren turned to Armin in disbelief. The expression on Eren's face was hurt. Though Armin's expression seemed to be unidentifiable.

"Did you really think I wasn't trying to push you together?" He asked again.

"That I wasn't trying to help?"

"I told you that she loved you," Armin said.

"I thought-

"I sat there and held her while she cried for you."

"What?" Eren said, quietly. Tears are threatening to come out of both men's eyes but only one would let them come out.

"I was doing my best," Armin's voice grew with each word. "I Was Doing My Best For The Both Of You."

"you knew how I felt about her," Armin mocked Eren.

"You knew how I felt as well," Armin whispered.

"I, I-You-"

"You shouldn't have left Eren, you should have stayed." Armin finished.

You left the creak of the door and continued your search for Levi. You could tell he wasn't anywhere near that balcony so you went the other direction.

"Y/n,?" Kenny called to you. You shift your gaze to him and immediately notice his demeanor. Kenny doesn't seem as easygoing as he usually does.

"Kenny, hey, I was looking for Levi, have you seen him?" You asked.

———————————

Annie walks to Levi while he looks for you. "Mr. Ackerman,"

Levi turned to Annie "Call me Levi." He says

"Ok," She says, slightly in a rush. "We have a problem,"

"A problem?" Levi asks. He analyzes the usual calm woman and noticed her squeezing her fist. "What's going on?" He asked, realizing it was much more serious.

Levi follows her to the hallway leading outside to the venue. "Look." She says, pointing to the side of him.

Sakurai is standing near the entrance of the room, with all eyes seeming to be on him. A woman is standing very close to him, and there is a significant distance between them and the crowd.

Levi's sudden realization is apparent by his eyes widening. He wants to confront him, in fact, he plans to, he has already decided, but

He sees you on the other side accompanied by Kenny, who looks even more shocked than you do.

"Don't worry Y/n, I'll-"

"No."

"That's her, Kenny." You mumble. He looks to you then to her, realizing what you meant. Standing there next to him is your mother.  The person you can't recall any memories of without feeling a pain in your chest.

You walk to the staircase with Kenny in pursuit. You had a few choice words to say to your "father".

All the guests knew or knew of Sakurai, but the guest nearest him went silent signaling the rest of the guests to quiet down as well. Everyone questioned why he was here with your mother.

Levi made his way through the crowd instantly making eye contact with Sakurai.
"Oh, Levi-

"Leave." He ordered, not giving him a chance to speak. Sakurai only smiled and continued. "I can't go now, I haven't seen my daughter,"

On cue you walk through the crowd, refusing to make eye contact with your mother. Sakurai's smile only grows wider upon seeing you. "Y/n, how have you been?" He asks.

You don't answer and instead, glare at him.

"I've brought you a birthday present, what's the matter?" He says. "Why are you upset?"

Levi silently fumes at Sakurai's questions but refuses to do anything that might cause more of a scene.

In any case, he is more worried about you.

You look Sakurai dead in the eye, but don't maintain contact for long. "It's just," You try to explain, anger spilling out from you. "Why?"

"What-

"This was your last resort, wasn't it?" You
