Soulmate (BertEre)

You get your soulmate's last name on your neck or wrist…Eren got it on his neck at age 15 and when they day he joined the corps. But that's when he met Bertholdt.

Eren Yeager, has always been without a soulmate since he was 10. Of course Mikasa and Armin never judged him for it and so on. Eren said,”Mom?”. There was a note on the floor and Eren soon saw blood trails and saw his mother’s dead body and a gun. Eren cried softly and ran off to go get help. Eren saw a man and said,”Help!!” The guy just ignored him and Eren cried softly since there was no adult there and he had no father. Eren cried softly and soon he met Hannes and explained what happened. Hannes helped him out and buried his mother. Everyone there was silent as Eren stood by his mother’s grave. Mikasa said,”Eren”. “Don’t Mikasa…let him grieve…”, Armin said.

5 years passed since Eren’s mother passed, Mikasa and Armin left him on his own since he snapped at them a year ago, so he barely has anyone, but Hannes now. Eren felt a sting on his neck and looked at Shadias. Shadias said,”What's your name, boy?”.”Eren Yeager, from the Shiganshina District sir”, Eren said, in salute. Shadias looked at his eyes and then left.

After a while, Eren was quiet and left to go to bed. Bertholdt said,”So does that mean you saw them?”. “Yes I did…but Hannes saved me…”, Eren said. Bertholdt was confused. Eren said,”I never had a father, so Hannes was like a dad to me”. “What was he like?”, Jean said. “He was kind hearted, saved me from something that happened, Protected me from the titans…and he is part of the Garrison” Eren explained with no smile on his face. Eren said,”I wished I protected him, like he did me”. Everyone was silent. Eren said,”Just…I am heading to bed…goodnight”. Mikasa said,”Eren…”. Eren looked at her then looked away. Armin said,”He doesn’t want us Mikasa…just leave it alone”. Armin then left to go to bed.

Shadias POV:
The year went by fast, it was common for everyone, but Eren was one of a kind. He was a quick learner , everything done in a second, killing many titan stands without anyone’s help, refusing to get any help…Soulmates…none so far…it’s still faded…it slowly says,’Hoover’ so we know who is his soulmate.

No one’s POV: Eren was quiet as he was training against Mikasa, suddenly rage entered his mind…Mikasa was down in 2 seconds. Armin rushed to her and helped her up. Eren said,”God damn it, I need to go”. Eren rushed into the barracks and sighed heavily. Bertholdt said,”Hey, I’m Bertholdt”. “Eren”, Eren said. They shook hands when suddenly a jolt hit them both. Eren’s neck said ‘Hoover’ and on Bertholdt’s wrists,’Yeager’. They both looked at each other and smiled softly. Eren said,”So-”. “So-”, Bertholdt said. Eren said,”I guess we are soulmates”. “Let’s get to know each other first”, Bertholdt said.

A few weeks past, Eren and Bertholdt were closer than they should be, but faith decided for them. Eren said,”My mother died…Suicide actually, she was tired of being judged about having a kid with no soulmate… and said in her note it was my fault…to be honest… I never thought about soulmates, and have hated them since my dad left when I was just born”. Bertholdt was listening to Eren’s life stories about when he was younger.  Eren said,”so tell me about you”. “Well-”, Bertholdt said. Bertholdt told Eren the truth, where he was from and what not. Eren wasn’t upset with him, instead he smiled and kissed him. Bertholdt pushed them both down and had a make out session. They quickly broke it apart when they heard the door knob. Eren laughed softly as Bertholdt did as well. It was Everyone. Eren said,”So…”. “So…”, Bertholdt said. Mikasa saw Eren with a smile for once, she never saw him smile, but it wasn’t at her or Armin. Armin said,”Mikasa”. Sasha said,”So Eren tell us about yourself”. Bertholdt said,”I’m heading for bed, tomorrow is a big day”. “Same”, Eren said, laying down.

The Next Week was when they announced the top 10, Eren was in 1st place and that was it. Eren and Bertholdt looked at each other and hid away from everyone and they made out. Eren giggled softly. Bertholdt chuckled. Reiner said,”Dude, did you forget the plan?”. “Uhhh Yeah I did”, Bertholdt said, still kissing Eren. Eren chuckled and said,”Do your job idiot”. “Reiner can do it”, Bertholdt said. Reiner said,”Seriously”. Eren giggled and said,”Fine Fine”. Reiner said,”He knows”. “Yes I know, I am his soulmate, dumbass”, Eren said. Bertholdt said,”I love this man”. Reiner said,”Fine whatever”. Eren was calm and smiled softly. They went back to the wall and Eren said,’Come on Reiner, I wanna fight Titans’. Bertholdt smirked as he was inpatient. Soon the wall was breached and Eren almost fell off, but Armin caught him. Eren got off his arms and ran to the edge…it was the Armor Titan.

Eren smiled as he fought off mostly 49 titans.  Eren was quick and fast, almost on Ackerman level. Eren saved Armin and Bertholdt, Marco and them all. They won a bit.

Back with the Levi Squad, they battled each titan they could. They plugged in the wall and that was over with.  Eren joined the Survey Corps and Eren learned that Levi has OCD, but Eren didn’t mind it. Eren was calm and looked at Bertholdt and smiled softly. Bertholdt went to him and grabbed his hand when no one was looking. Eren smiled softly .Bertholdt looked at him with a smug look. Eren listened to Erwin and everyone was about to cry, but Ymir, Reiner, and Annie.

Eren was calm and training with Bertholdt and Oluo said,”Yeager…Aren’t you a titan shifter?’’. “What about it?”, Eren said. Levi said,”He is just being noisy…go back to training”. Eren nodded and trained with Bertholdt.

After hours of training, it was lunch time, Eren saw Bertholdt and sat in his lap. Bertholdt chuckled and said,”Hey clingy”. Eren grunted and laid his head on his shoulder. Levi rolled his eyes as Erwin whispered something in his ear. Levi kicked Erwin in the leg, blushing slightly. Bertholdt smiled and told Levi the truth about him and Eren’s past and what they are doing. Erwin took this information and said,”Well…I guess we can understand why this is happening”. Eren said,”Okay…I’m going to use the restroom”. Bertholdt lets him go as Armin followed Eren and so did Mikasa.

Eren said,”I know, you're there…”. Armin said,”Eren…what the fuck… Why did you leave us like dirt to you”. Mikasa said,”You treated us like we were nothing to you when we were kids”. Eren said,”Drop it”. Mikasa grabbed his wrist and said,”please tell us why?”. Eren pried her off and said,”You two wouldn’t understand”. They got back to the cafeteria. Eren was getting annoyed and soon smacked Mikasa across the face. Everyone looked at them. Jean said,”The fuck, Yeager!!”. “Shut the fuck up”, Eren said. Levi said,”Yeager…”. Bertholdt held Eren close and said,”What happened babydoll?”. Eren said,”you two bastards, wouldn’t understand what I went through!! You two just got angry because I lost my mom while you two lived happily after that!! Never asked what was wrong!!”. Armin said,”we thought you were fine”.”Fine!? I was 10 years old and lost everything!!”, Eren yelled. Mikasa said,”You had no soulmate!!”. Eren was silent as Everyone, but Bertholdt gasped. Eren teared up and ran off,”I hate you both so much!!!”. Bertholdt said,”Eren!!”. Bertholdt ran after Eren. Levi sighed and said,”You two idiots”. Reiner said,”Eren hates you both since you two are always excluding him out on everything, he made sure your guys dreams came true and wanted you to be happy”. 

An hour later, Bertholdt came back with Eren. Eren said,”I’m not apologizing”. Bertholdt sighed and said,”Please babydoll”. “Fine…I’m sorry..that i snapped and smacked and yelled at you guys…I just”. Bertholdt looked at Eren and said,”Was it that bad?”, “Yes…now can we do something”. Bertholdt smirked at him. Eren said,”No”. Bertholdt frowned and said,”Fine”. Eren giggled softly and leaned against Bertholdt. Jean said,”So how long?”. “Since Trainee Corps”, Eren said. Bertholdt smirked.

Years later,

Reiner and Annie were calm after they reached Marley, Eren was there and smiled softly. Gabi said,”Cousin”. “Gabi wait up”, Falco said. Bertholdt smiled and Eren said,”Oh my god, so cute!!”. Gabi and Falco saw them and said,”The Devils?”. “Chill, they are with us”, Annie said. Eren said,”Babe, I want kids”. Bertholdt froze at that, causing Everyone to laugh. Levi laughed and said,”This place is dirty, but oh well”. Gabi said,”I see”. Reiner said,”Hey, We are back!!”. Everyone welcomed everyone. Bertholdt and Eren were happy together.

Eren said,”That’s our love story”. Their three old daughter, Kaz,”That's a beautiful story,  Mama”. Bertholdt said,”How’s my two loves doing?”. “Good”, Eren said. They kissed as Kaz said,”Ewwww”, Bertholdt and Eren both laughed and said,”Goodnight Kaz” “Goodnight, Mama and Papa”, Kaz said, and went to sleep,
Bertholdt smiled and took Eren to bed in bridal style and went to bed.
