From a certain age, a person recieves their soulmate marks. They would connect as soon as they locked eyes with each other. Historia and Eren s case was….particular.
They met at a concert that featured student bands.Normally, Historia would not have done this if her twin sister Florian didn’t convince her to.
“Ill be fun ! “ She said.
So begrudgingly she let herself be dragged away by her older sister (they were born one day apart, mind you) And surprisingly she found herself enjoying it.Her favorite one was a rock band from Shiganshina District.
She had no words to describe how the music made her feel…..particular. But maybe was it the lead singer of the band.He had a hood over his face so Historia could not recognize him but she felt connected to him somehow.
Could he be… ?…
She brushed off the thought and continued to dance to the music.She figured she would stay here for a while more seeing that college break was going to end soon and she should have a good time.
—2 hours later
“Florian ! “
She’s running through the square. The concerts just finished and people are starting to leave. Historia was now looking for her half-sister.The latter said that she was going to the bathroom and Historia has not seen her since.She went to the stalls only to find them empty.She was starting to get worried.
In a hurry to find her half-sister, she bumped into someone.
“OH- Im so sorry ! “
“Its alright.”
Ash-Emerald eyes meet sapphire.
———-Eren
He feels a tingly feeling across his hand.
Is this…
Shakilly he holds up his hand to find a half of a heart on his palm.He looks at the girl and she looks as astounded as he does. Simutaneously, they turn their palms towards each other and Eren sees that she has the same palm mark as him.
Oh no.
This is not how he envisioned this happening at all.
He looks at the girl.She s pretty short, has long blond hair and big blue sapphire eyes.Judging by her clothes, she looks like she comes from the upper class. Great. Eren thought.”She’s probably one of those stuck up princesses.”
The situation was getting awkward real fast.
“Uh…Hi ?” The girl starts.
Her voice was soft and kind of nervous.Not how he expected.
Realizing he must look like an idiot, Eren recovers from his stupor and waves back.
“My name is Historia. Whats yours?”
“Uh-Eren.Eren Yeager.” He extends his hand.
Smiling slightly, she takes it.
————————————
Its been twenty years since then.
They could not be any different.
Historia figured that her soulmate was actually the hooded lead singer of that band.When she asked him about it he just told her that he snuck out to do the concert with his friends and there was a high chance that if one of his family members saw him, he would’ve been grounded.
Eren came from Shiganshina the poorest district in the whole of Elidia and the closest city to the port where he lived with his mother, father and brother.They barely got by and his father was training him to become a doctor like him and his half-brother but Eren had his sights somewhere else.His father and him argued constantly about his future.He played in a band with his friends, but his father wanted him to quit since music was “Unprofessional” and got you nowhere.
Angrily he stormed out of the house until he saw a flyer that advertised the event.So he called his friends and they hatched a plan to go there.His father believed that he was headed to a career fair when in reality he was headed to a festival that featured student bands.The rest is history.
Historia or Historia Reiss was the daughter of the founder of Reiss Enterprises (Which happened to be the richest company of all of Eldia) and she and her 5 half-siblings could do whatever they wanted as far as It payed plenty.
Eren dressed like a hobo, had a gazillion ear-piercings and was loud, hardheaded and impulsive, while Historia was shy, took care of her appearance, kind, observant and deliberate.
No one in a million years would think that they would fit together but they did.
Casual dates turned more romantic as they got to know each other more, and after dating for four years Eren finally popped the question.
(Historia said yes, obviously)
It was originally planned to be a small wedding, but the influx of guests prohibited it to be so.They got married in a park in Shiganshina under a tree that Eren and his best friends Mikasa and Armin used to play under as kids.
Eren and Historia traveled all over the world, partially because of Eren s band ( Who have risen to fame after that first concert ) and also of their shared dream if being able to see the things beyond the island. They ended up buying a moderate sized-house in a good neighborhood in Karanes district, which was not too far from Historia s job. ( She worked as an assistant for the CEO of the Eldian times.) where they planned to start their own family.

“ Mama ! Can you help me find my socks !”
Historia was jolted back into reality at her nine-year old girl cry.
Their first child was a little girl named Ymir ( named after Historia s closest friend who unfortunately died in a car accident.) She was a carbon copy of her mother, with her father s eyebrows, eyes and fiery attitude.
“Ymir ! Do you really need those socks ?” She asks going up the staircase.
“YEA ! There my good luck socks ! NEVER MIND I FOUND THEM !“
Historia signed and went in the next room.
“Boys ? Do you need any help ?” She called.
“No mama. Im ready. I think Emmett needs some though.”
Carlo said from the windowsill.He looked like his father but with her blue eyes that stared at her through round glasses and calm demeanor.He was named after his grandmother. He was calm and loved to read. Historia saw that her son already had a bag packed and ready to leave.
Giving a thumbs up, she looked over and saw her youngest child rummaging throughout the pile of clothes.Unlike his brother and sister, he was a mix of both his parents with blue-green eyes and dishwater blond hair. Unlike his twin brother, He was a wild, disorganized boy who loved to play outside.
Her six year old gave up on finding any clothes.Pulling his head out of the closet, he turned to face his mom.
“Mommy ? Can you help me choose some clothes ?”
Historia face-palmed and went over to help him out, as he gave her a sheepish smile.
A few minutes later, Her three kids were all ready to go and waiting downstairs. Historia then advanced towards the last room on the floor besides hers and Erens. Cautiously, she opens it.
“Mithras sweetie, its time to go.” She calls out softly.
“ Im ready.” A small voice calls out of the shadows.
It belonged to a little seven-year old girl. Her case was special. Eren found her bleeding and bruised in an alleyway during the aftermath of one of his concerts. He rushed her to the hospital and called the police.
They figured out that she was a victim of child abuse due to her disease. She had albinism, which caused her hair to be white and her eyes to be pink. No one knows for sure what happened in Mithras is early years because she refused to talk about it. They legally adopted her last spring.
She shuffled out of her room and Historia held out her hand. Mithras took it.
Eren had the car pulled up outside.
“I was beginning to wonder if you guys show up. “ He teased. Then looking at the back of the car he said
“ Did mom take all her time to brush her hair again ?”
Historia rolled her eyes and showed him playfully.
They drove for about twenty minutes before boarding on the train that was headed to Mithras.The family walked about twenty minutes from there before arriving to a familiar square.
The children left them to go play with some pigeons, under the watchful eyes of their parents.
“Heh. To think I met my soulmate here in this square.”
“ Yea.” Historia leaned onto her husbands shoulder and stared up into the sky.
“Happy 20th anniversary love-“
Historia never finished her sentence as she was swept up in a kiss.
