they weren’t supposed to meet.

they weren’t supposed to see each other again. ever.

and yet, the second eren caught sight of that familiar back, he chased after it into the gardens without a moment of hesitation. he reached out his awkwardly long arm, captured the hand of the fleeing form, and in one smooth motion, lolled the smaller man into his arms.

an awkward silence dawned between the two once-lovers, emotions heavy on their tongues. they held each other tight; too afraid to let go, too cowardly to speak.

finally, in a half broken choke, eren whispered, “i don’t want to marry her.”

"i know."

"…please stay."

"…i can’t."

with burdened reluctance, rivaille broke free of eren’s hold. he gave the young groom’s hand a gentle squeeze, turned his back, and walked away.

eren didn’t try to reach out this time; acceptance laid on his shoulders like boulders.

and this was the last time they held hands.
