Heyo, but just imagine Armin Arlert after the rumbling? Perhaps what life would be like for him and his fem! darling (who was also a Survey Corps soldier and a member of the Alliance alongside Armin) after they defeated Eren and stopped the rumble of the earth .O.
Commander Armin now I do believe 😏
(also warning it gets a little suggestive at the end)
-so first of all you both are gonna be hELLA busy. especially in the first few months after the battle of heaven and earth. For starters, expect to be woken up in the middle of the night regularly. Armin is the only acting commander from Paradis, which makes him the highest authority, so he’s constantly getting dragged to meetings not just throughout the day but during the night as well, when emergency discussions need to happen for more urgent matters.
-it’s stressful, but that just makes every second you get together more special. on the occasional half hour to himself that he gets, you’ll be passed out on a couch in each others arms, still wearing work clothes, exhausted but grateful for even just a moments rest together.
-after the initial surge of necessary diplomatic negotiations dies out, the Eldian ambassador group consisting of you, him, the other former titan shifters, as well as Connie and Jean settle into a bit of a routine.
-wake up, talk to refugees, attend meetings with world leaders, eat some food, work some more, and then you get most of the evenings to yourselves.
-finally after months of stressful and frantic negotiations, and dangerous war duties prior to that, you and Armin have time to yourselves, for the first time in years really, and you almost don’t know what to do with the freedom.
-armin loves to go on walks and hikes, exploring the nature trails and seeing the beauty of the mainland.
-it’s incredibly relaxing, talking with him, and for the first time in a long time, you find yourself starting to loosen up, relax. Knowing that the struggles are over lifts a burden off your shoulders, and when Armin attends a meeting that you aren’t present at, you don’t have to worry about something happening, about never seeing him again
-it’s a comforting feeling, something you’ve never felt before, and so on walks through flower fields and past waterfalls, you finally allow yourself the luxury of talking about the future.
-Armin is eager to get married, it’s something he’s dreamed about for years, but never thought it could become reality due to the nature of your jobs.
-but if marriage is something you’re interested in, he’ll be proposing at the first chance he gets.
-and even if you‘re not quite ready, he’s still understanding of that
-id imagine he has nightmares quite frequently, and when he wakes up sweating and scared, you’d hold him in your arms, whispering sweet words to him till he falls back to sleep
-you both have lots of trauma, (obviously) but it’s something that the two of you are learning to live with, learning to heal from.
- sometimes Armin gets really giddy for no reason, he‘ll bury his face in your neck or hair, grinning against your skin, just telling you he loves you and how he can’t wait go live the rest of his life with you. He also marvels at the fact that he’s a commander, it’s a bit surreal for him.
-also for the first time in your relationship you had complete privacy. All your time in the survey corp you’d been sleeping in dorm rooms, eating in mess halls, showering in communal bathrooms, lets be real, you two never had any time alone, and when you did, it was very brief.
-so for the first time ever, you were getting to experience what it was like to have your own room, where you could cuddle up in each others arms, walk around half dressed, get as touchy as you wanted without the prying eyes of others
-speaking of which, you and Armin were getting to explore a completely foreign aspect of your relationship, and that was sex. Yeah, you’d made out in the woods a couple times when you could, or you’d gotten each other off under the bed sheets as you pretended to be reading a book while seated on his bunk. But not once had you had an opportunity or the right state of mind for that matter to go the whole way
-so having both a room to yourselves and the time to do so gave you plenty of opportunities to enjoy yourselves.
-you two are a little unexperienced, but sooner or later you get the hang of it and you’re left wondering how you ever lived without it before?
