Compromising Position

COMPROMISING POSITION MEME

Up until now, there's definitely been some tension between you two. Whether it's more romantic or flatly sexual is, understandably, dependent on the personalities involved, but the fact remains that you both have been dancing around the issue for whatever reason. Why do why say "up until now?" Well, it's simple. Somehow, either through accident or otherwise, you've end up in what can only be considered a compromising position: you're in the other's lap, you're on top of them, chest to chest, almost kissing, so on and so forth. This leads to the ultimate snap in your tension - you just can't hold it in any longer, even if you try to get out of this situation unscathed.

The direction you move in, again, depends on the people involved, so things could take a turn for the awkward, the cute, the romantic, the desperate, or even the steamy. What's for certain is that whatever's between you may never be the same...unless you guys, in typical will they/won't they fashion, can repress and pretend nothing ever happened.

WHY

accidental: It was a trip, an not so calculated move, or another mistake that lead you here.
on purpose: You were getting closer and enjoying each others' company, planning a move...but you didn't mean to get this close right off. Or maybe you did

WHAT

awkward: UH UH SORRY FOR LANDING ON YOUR. UHM. YOU KNOW. But moving makes it worse, or you could be in a state of undress.
cute: Ah, just kiss them already! Or at least look into each others' eyes and have a moment.
romantic: A sweet, long kiss and perhaps some long-held confessions are in order.
confessions: Actually, speaking of confessions, they might just slip out without anything sweet...oooor your body reacting to this new position may be all the proof the other person needs to know something's up.
desperate: Oh, fuck it. You might never have this chance again and you've been wanting them so badly, you may as well snog at least, no matter what.
steamy: The smut option!

Thankfully, now when I want to kiss you we don't have to get tied up first.

[It's probably best not to dwell on the idea of Levi being tied up. Or tying Erwin up. Not at the moment, at least, not when he's being groped so nicely by the smaller man's calloused hands. For a second he had been worried when Levi pulled away, until he realized he was being admired. A pink flush colored his cheeks, which meant he had blushed more around Levi in the past few minutes than he had in at least the past ten years.

If he knew Levi was thinking of running his tongue "all over him", Erwin's cheeks would have gained a rosier hue. Around this one man, he can let his guard down enough to reveal that he might be a tad bit of a romantic, deep down. When another kiss is pressed to his skin, the center of his chest, he murmurs a soft noise of pleasure as his hand slips up to run over the shaved hair at the base of Levi's neck, up into the longer silken strands above.]

It's nothing even close to a problem. If anything, it... I'm honored to be the one you're learning with. More than honored. It's... [He hesitates, unsure if he should admit it, can admit it without sounding like a creep.] ...It's actually a little arousing. Not that you aren't extremely arousing already.

[He trails off, clearing his throat. Okay, keep the fumbling and babbling to a minimum... Even if Levi is one of the few people that can make his usually calm, clear wording stumble over itself.

At least he knows from Levi's hardening cock that he's not the only one getting worked up. There's no way he can hide the effect the smaller man's lips and hands are having on him, given how close they're pressed together.]

[that statement gives levi pause even as he experimentally kisses his way back up to erwin's mouth, nipping the skin on his chest and throat lightly before grunting against his lips. his face feels hot again at the thought...but he isn't sure if he hates the idea either. at all.]

Y-Yeah...maybe, yeah.

[not wanting to commit to anything that's equal parts exciting and terrifying, he shivers involuntarily against erwin's mouth at the feeling of fingers against his scalp. he isn't sure if it should bother him that erwin can get reactions outta him this easily, but since his partner doesn't seem anything less than delighted and definitely a little hard too, he tries not to overthink it. it's not like he never wanted this. his reasons for not saying anything run a little more complex than a fear of rejection or a need to keep up appearances. and for the record, he likes the babbling. it's part of who erwin really is and it's not the commander whose belt he's trying to undo. they're the same, sure...but also pretty different.]

Look, it'd be a bigger problem if you were going this far and didn't want this. I uh...

[he swallows, trying his best to figure out words that mean the right thing without leaving the other man with questions when they could be getting on with it.]

I was always gonna tell you. Okay? Just didn't know how. I always figured it'd be after we got a win for once. Or if we knew one or both of us was gonna die. That way, neither of us would have to think too much about you telling me to piss off.

[he looks off to the side, arms sliding up to wrap around erwin's neck. this is the kind of shit he hates, but erwin needs to see why he isn't thinking twice about any of this. and he isn't stupid - he always had a feeling it was mutual, but never thought erwin would act on it since it's one pain in the ass that probably will bite them later.]

So you gonna show me what to do next or what?

["Maybe"? Did that mean Levi would like to involve bondage? Thankfully the very present fact of Levi's hands unfastening his belt keeps Erwin from dwelling on any future possibilities. Like most Scouts, he's good at dwelling in the here and now.

Levi's admission... It almost breaks Erwin's heart. Manages not to only because he has the smaller man in his arms, which means they don't have to dwell on those potential outcomes. Hearing that Levi wanted to be with him, only for one or both of them to go off and die... No. Whatever happens after this stolen moment of happiness, Erwin is glad that he knows. Doubly glad that he acted on it. Reaching down, he tilts Levi's chin up so he can kiss the man in his arms passionately, holding nothing back. No shame, no shyness, just the two of them.

His tongue slips into Levi's mouth, tasting him as Erwin properly, finally, gropes the smaller man's ass in service of rolling his hips forward to grind himself properly against Levi. It feels so good he almost lets himself go, almost surges forward to trap his fellow Scout against the nearest wall to simply take what he's always wanted, but the sweetness of Levi taking charge as he gains confidence is enough to keep Erwin's baser desires in check. There will be time to be dominant later. Right now is about sharing in each other, trying to make sure he takes just as well as he gives.

Pulling away with the rather lewd noise of open mouths parting, Erwin looks down into Levi's eyes.]

There's... not a set way to go about this. So long as it feels good. But, generally, both of us being naked would be a proper way to proceed.

[He's teasing ever so slightly, of course, but that doesn't mean that his current goal is to divest Levi entirely of his remaining clothing, hooking his thumbs in the waistband of the other man's pants and underwear to pull them down and, with a little help, off.

When he gets the opportunity to see Levi naked, without having to look away quickly afterward, Erwin can't help taking his time to do so. There's so much muscle and strength compacted into a lithe frame, so defined beneath pale skin that seems to highlight the scars of a hard life lived...

Wow.]

[as stupid as he feels, it's hard to ignore the jolt of adrenaline he gets from erwin kissing him like that, his mouth opening immediately to meet erwin's tongue with his own as the unexpected feeling of his groin getting the friction it wants causes him to moan softly. he's still hyper aware of the fact that they could be heard, but he holds onto erwin just a fraction tighter, fingers sliding through his hair and tongue almost battling erwin's for the sake of it since it sure as fuck doesn't know what else to say.

it only the occurs to him that erwin is sliding his pants and underwear down, unsure of when he even undid them, but he hastily helps push them down and off. but the stare when erwin pulls back...no matter how slightly winded he feels, that's something he's not used to. he knows he's a runt - he heard that every day multiple times until kenny left. and he knows he's got some nasty scars, now with the added bonus of the even nastier purple bruises in the shape of an odm wire around his leg. that doesn't freak erwin out?

not knowing what else to do, he tugs erwin forward roughly by the waistband and sets to getting his pants all the way open too, sliding them down his legs as carefully as he can due to erwin's own injuries.]

If I got a weird dick or something, you'd better tell me now.

[what the hell else is he supposed to say? it's hard to hide when his length is swinging up towards his abdomen between them and although erwin's pants and underwear get stuck at his knees thanks to his boots...oh. fuck. it's levi's turn to stare because it's good to know that all of erwin is perfect. he's never looked better to levi, slightly flushed red and a little messy - the only time a mess is acceptable. what feels like miles of sculpted muscle and lust-warmed skin. and that gorgeous thick length, equally as aroused. definitely bigger than levi's own. and it's the fucking hottest thing levi's ever seen. even when erwin breaks out the teaching voice.]

You would come in here in full uniform. [he cranes his neck to kiss erwin again quickly, rough fingertips tracing over the shape of erwin's abs and hips before giving his ass a slightly rough squeeze. levi knows no other way. and erwin ain't the only one who's been surviving torture over the years, so he makes sure to have it count before playfully shoving him away.]

Hurry up and get naked already then. So you can show me what you like.

A weird-- Hell, Levi, at the risk of you punching me, you're absolutely gorgeous. I can't get over the fact that I get to touch you.

[He should have thought about stripping down slightly before arriving in the washroom, but Erwin had been too eager to think about anything other than being with Levi as soon as possible. For once he had--and has--no set plan. Just wants to do everything all at once, even knowing that's not physically possible.

The rough grab of his ass gets a startled chuckle out of Erwin even as he's shoved away, nearly stumbling from having his pants around his knees but managing to catch himself against the sink.]

Good to know I'm not the only eager one. [He's teasing while also meaning it, carefully bending down to untangle his mess of pants, boots, and underwear. It's not graceful, nor is it probably very sexy, but he finally manages to divest himself of all clothing, straightening up so he can look down at Levi with a smile that is far from able to hide his nervous excitement.]

Would it help you relax if we both shower first?

[He knows about Levi's issues with things being clean, can't even begin to blame him. If showering off would help the other Scout feel more comfortable, it's hardly a big ask. Plus, getting to watch water run down over that sculpted chest and tight stomach? Erwin isn't going to complain.]

I'll even let you wash me, if you want to make sure I'm properly clean.

[There's a clear note of flirting as he moves to turn on the water, knowing it will take several moments to get hot in the cold weather. Plus, the sound will help hide some of the noises he fully intends to coax out of Levi, at least initially.]

[if he'd been red in the face and chest before, he's even redder after that statement. erwin sees him like that? fuck, he's either blind or levi's luck has cut him a break for once, but he just swallows at that, reaching out to steady erwin as he fights to get his clothes the rest of the way off.]

M'not gonna punch you...yet. I wanna touch you too...been thinking about it. All day.

[it's actually good to see that they're both nervous - levi's only manner of processing emotion is to avoid it on most days, so seeing erwin completely naked like this and really being able to see and touch him without having to bullshit like he doesn't see the smile or think about wrapping his fingers around that cock....it's a lot.

still, he feels a need to pull erwin in close, looping an arm around his shoulders and stifling a gasp at the still very new feeling of their skin touching with no barriers. with his free hand, he reaches back to turn the shower on. it won't be hot for a couple minutes - it never is, but he still shrugs.]

Never thought you were dirty, but when you put it like that, yeah. You got not idea how much having to shower next to you without looking used to piss me off.

[his left hand trails down the length of erwin's body, levi biting his lower lip as if asking permission to go lower.]

So uh...how 'bout we clean each other up, hm?

[When Levi presses his naked body against Erwin's, it's a shock to his nerves in the best way. The little aches from the day's bruises almost help to highlight how sweet it is to finally be able to feel the smaller man like this.]

Pissed you off? It just frustrated me, knowing you were naked right next to me and I wasn't allowed to actually do anything about it. Now, I suspect I'll have different problems.

[As in, he'll not only be allowed to look, at least in secret, he'll also know intimately what it's like to touch. That's going to make certain bodily reactions difficult to control. Still, he's not even slightly upset about having to figure out a new challenge, when the reward is so sweet.]

Yes, please. I would very much like to clean every inch of you.

[He leans in to kiss Levi tenderly, capturing that poor bitten bottom lip in between his own to suck on it for a moment. As he does, his own left hand moves to Levi's hip, down to squeeze at his upper thigh.]

Yeah. [rather than stand on his toes to reach erwin, he tugs him down to meet him instead. what good's all that extra height if he doesn't bend anyway? it seems like sound logic and levi's brain is too foggy to make more sense of it, grunting softly in approval against erwin's mouth, shivering as he toys with his bottom lip.] Couple times, I almost told you to just look if you were gonna look.

[he shrugs at that, lips finding erwin's throat to tease over its pulse. when erwin squeezes his upper thigh, leg coming up of its own volition. shit...it really is gonna be that easy, huh?]

Just...thought it'd be easier that way.

[as he sucks faintly on erwin's collarbone, his hand finally comes to rest on erwin's cock and he swallows nervously. he's so hot and silky to the touch, every prominent vein practically pulsing as his palm very gently brushes over the wet head, getting used to the feel of it. his mouth waters at the thought, wanting it anywhere erwin is willing to put it. and is that how it's supposed to be? how it's always gonna be? levi isn't sure, but he sure as shit knows he wants it.]

But yeah...problems. If you mean wanting to fuck all the time, I don't really see how that's any different from before.

[steam slowly but surely begins to fill the room, fogging up the mirrors. the water should be hot enough as he takes this opportunity to bite erwin's chest lightly, looking up at him for guidance or approval.]

Brought an anti-brat & Hange chair in here too...in case the lock breaks.

Edited (sorry, dyslexia decided to be a jerk) 2022-09-24 06:31 (UTC)

[It's been too long since anyone else has touched him. Erwin almost loses his legs when Levi's graceful fingers brush along his cock, exploring with such delicacy that its almost more torture than pleasure. He's proud of himself for not automatically thrusting forward into Levi's hand, wanting to make sure that he's going slowly enough. The touches, though, combined with Levi's leg up against his hip...

When he manages to speak again, his voice is almost hoarse with blatant arousal.] It's different, Levi, because now I know I can have you whenever I want, if only we were both willing to be a public spectacle.

[Shit. He should not find that arousing-- Erwin blames Levi for being far too arousing, making his mind picture things he's never indulged in before. They are not going to be having sex in public, thank you, brain. Where they are, though, is right here, very soon.]

Wrap your legs around my waist. Both arms around my neck.

[Once the captain has complied, Erwin easily carries him over to the door, jams the brought chair under the handle because if anyone interrupts them he might do something he'll regret later, then finally moves them both under the spray of hot water. As the steam envelops them, he presses Levi back against the shower wall and kisses him hard as both hands grab the other man's perfect ass ostensibly to keep him in place but in reality to give it a nice grope.]

Levi...

[Right. Right. Go a little slower, Erwin, don't overwhelm him... But he also doesn't want to put the smaller man back down. Not yet.]

[so that's what erwin's thinking about? pretty hot, but pretty weird. and definitely is not gonna happen. levi's pretty sure that once they go all the way, erwin is his. and that includes being the only one to see him like this.]

Guess the budget better start including better privacy then, huh?

[the tone erwin takes with him is deep enough that levi feels it in the pit of his stomach and it shoots straight to his cock. he wants to hear him like that more often - fuck, he wants to hear what erwin sounds like completely wrecked and reduced to just animal instinct and urges, but he's been given an order, so he cuts the exploration short and hops up onto erwin easily enough, legs wrapping around his waist in one fluid movement.

any other time, it was to gain some height on the guy he was fighting. to deliver a headbutt or stab him in the shoulder. never did it naked before, so he gasps softly at the feeling of his dick brushing erwin's abdomen as he lets the other man carry him. normally, he hates that too, but erwin's strong enough to lift him and act like it's nothing - it probably is to him and he moans at the kiss, feeling like he's breathing through a straw.

the contrast of the hot water and the cold tiles at his back causes him to arch forward as his fingers slide up into erwin's hair, getting it wet, but he's too caught up in devouring the other man's mouth hungrily, eager to taste as much of him as possible as he arches forward into erwin when he squeezes his ass. the water makes everything a lot slicker and the slide of skin on skin is better than anything he imagined.]

Y-You're good. [it's stammered as his breathing grows a little labored, thumb stroking along the edge of erwin's jaw to reassure him.] I'm good, just...you aren't gonna hurt me.

[anyone else, he'd punch for manhandling him like this. but for erwin, levi squeezes his waist a little tighter with his knees unconsciously. trying to find a little friction even if he doesn't know what he's asking for.]

[If Levi ever wants to make Erwin a flustered mess, it will most likely only take the smaller man calling the commander "his". A flustered mess, followed by being kissed senseless, followed by a blowjob.

Erwin presses their foreheads together, trying to find a rhythm to his breathing again. Levi's first time. He's going to make Levi's first time as good as possible.]

I know. I know you're not fragile or anything ridiculous like that. But I want this to be the best I can give to you.

[The arching of Levi's spine says that Erwin's not doing a bad job, as does the way he's eating back into the desperate kisses. Gently he shifts, lowering Levi back to his feet while still keeping their bodies very much pressed together. As much as he'd like to keep holding him, a handjob would be very difficult to give safely in that position. And seems like the next best step, to help satisfy his soon-to-be-lover, as well as help him relax for what's to come.

Reaching down between their bodies, Erwin wraps his hand around Levi's cock, stroking his fingers up along the length as he keeps the smaller Scout crowded back against the shower wall.]

We can't be very loud, but... let me hear what feels best, Levi. Let me learn your body. And you're free to learn mine, as well.

[it'll come out sooner or later - levi isn't sure he can hold out on that slightly territorial urge for long when he feel's erwin's head against his again. he didn't think he'd like that small particular thing, but when erwin's eyes are so blue that they almost glow and his pupils are so blown, it's hard to argue. he takes a deep breath as erwin lowers him back down and nods faintly.]

I get that. I do, i-it's just that...hngh!

[he wants this to be good for erwin too. wants to find out what feels good for him and where he likes to be touched. wants to learn how to give a blowjob among other things, but any coherent thought leaves his head the second erwin's fingers wrap around his dick. no one's ever touched him there before and it's so different from his own hand that his knees do temporarily buckle, fingers tightening on erwin's shoulders to stay upright. the wall at his back is apparently his best friend right now because the perfect gorgeous bastard in front of him is saying shit levi never thought he'd hear.

head tilting back against the tiles, levi bites his lip as one hand comes down as a fist to thump against the wall. okay. bearings even though the moan he makes is soft and low in his chest.]

O-Okay. Okay, that's...fuuuuck, Erwin, that's...yeah, keep going.

[two can play at that game. he tugs erwin's head down to kiss him again, breathing heavily through his nose as that free hand slowly slides down sculpted muscle and faint scars, tentatively taking erwin's cock in his hand once more. it feels a little intimidating. hot and thick, skin so soft and so hard at the same time as levi strokes him in time with the inadvertent thrust of his own hips into erwin's hand. he only barely manages to muffle a quiet whimper.]

Wanna hear you too.

[Hearing Levi moan out his name like that was ridiculously erotic, as is the smaller man pulling his head down in order to claim a kiss. Erwin's free hand came up to tangle in Levi's hair, tightening as his cock was touched in turn. Groaning softly against the other man's lips, Erwin smiles at the request.]

Sometime... we should find somewhere we don't have to be quiet...

[For now, though, there is something exciting about the idea of having to maintain some sense of control no matter how into each other they get. As they stroke each other, his kisses move to the junction of Levi's neck and shoulder, pressing a kiss there before sucking a hungry mark against the other man's pale skin. Perhaps it's a little possessive of him, but he wants there to be some evidence left even once they're done that Levi is claimed. Is his. And there's no better time to do it than when they're both already covered in bruises.

Though how Levi would explain how his ODM gear broke in such a way as to leave a mark there Erwin wasn't sure. It was getting increasingly hard to think straight with each movement of the smaller Scout's hand.]

Mmmnnn... Just a little... turn your wrist a bit... [He tries to do as Levi asked, letting himself be heard while also guiding him in what feels best for Erwin. Though honestly any touch from Levi is what feels best. What he's growing most worried about is the fact that, apparently, he isn't going to be able to hold out at long as he had thought he would. It's just too good, all of this.]

[levi grunts in agreement at that statement, trying to speak between kisses. it's good to know they're both a little desperate - levi's been quietly hoping he could at least hold out long enough to make sure erwin got something outta this too, but that groan has him using every ounce of self-control not to just fuck erwin's fist.]

Mm...yeah. 'll get on it when I get a minute...!

[the phrase comes out as a soft whine, voice going just slightly higher without his permission. his head falls back easily, shivering as erwin marks him. it's a little scary how bad he wants it. he loves it even - both of their legs are already purple from being tangled together and they match in ways people can't see now. and spurred on by that, he squirms up the wall a fraction to kiss erwin's collarbone in kind. biting him there just enough to mark as his thumb brushes over the leaking head of erwin's cock, tongue laving over the bite. all higher thought is a pipe dream.]

L-Like this, hm? Like when I go up or down?

[he takes erwin's instruction to heart, turning his wrist slightly with each stroke to add more friction, dragging on the sensitive skin there. levi gets it now as he kisses erwin's chest almost desperately, mostly just to keep his mouth busy and himself quiet. reaching a nipple, he laps at it experimentally, suckling at it before looking up. his cheeks and chest are flushed pink, lips parted. everything feels so good, he doesn't know what to ask for, but he doesn't want erwin to stop.]

I-It's okay....m-me too.

[there's no way he's gonna hold out either at this rate, so it's as close to giving permission as levi gets, but it's okay because they got all night. and he's been trying not to think about this for a really long time. it's given levi plenty of fuel for mental images he never thought he could share, so anything to take the edge off would be fine right now.]

[Erwin never thought he would get the change to hear Levi making all of these wonderful noises, didn't even know he could make half of them. The bite to his collarbone makes his knees want to give in, a moment of pain to highlight every burst of pleasure the other man's hand is wringing out of him. Combined with the hot water raining down around them, he could almost be persuaded to think this was some sort of fever dream.

Nearly biting his tongue when he opened his mouth to reply to Levi's question, Erwin instead confirms his pleasure with a hungry groan that he barely manages to muffle in time. As his lover's mouth finds a nipple to torment, Erwin looks down and meets Levi's gaze, nearly loses it when he sees how desperate the other man is. Reaching down with his free hand that trembles despite his best efforts to keep it still, he leans down to kiss Levi's beautiful lips, mouths meeting in mutual desperate hunger.]

Levi...

[He rolls his thumb over the head of Levi's dick, squeezing to give a little more friction in order to bring the other Scout to orgasm. As for himself, Erwin felt himself falling over the edge beneath the movements of Levi's hand. The world shrinks down until it contains nothing but this man, the man he's wanted to share himself with for what feels like forever. The nice thing about getting each other off in the shower is that whatever mess they make will be almost immediately washed away.

Which isn't to say that, in the future, he might not want it to be.]

[taking that as a yes, levi only increases the speed of his stroke, practically shaking as erwin's groan reverberates through his whole being. fever dream or not, it feels real enough since erwin's body actually feels hotter than the water and the image of him with his lips parted, soaking wet and flushed pink from the heat is something that levi intends to carry with him until the day he dies. he's not the commander here - he's just the only person levi has ever trusted this much. ever felt this safe around. and he's so fucking beautiful that levi's chest actually hurts as erwin claims his mouth again.

levi releases a feral groan to answer him that tapers off into a whimper, the ache in his chest a sharp contrast to the mind-numbing pleasure erwin still somehow has half a mind to wring out of him. somehow his hand feels so much better than levi's own - like it was always meant to and as scary as it is, levi's free hand grips erwin's shoulder tightly just to ground himself as his body tenses up, thighs shaking as he quietly tries to swallow both of their moans with zero success.]

Erwin, I...!

[the gasp he trails off into is sharp. bordering on shocked and desperate, forehead still pressed against erwin's. hearing his name on erwin's lips as he spills hot over levi's fingers is what ends him in an instant, the tight string inside him snapping in an instant as they both make a mess he normally would grimace over. no more hiding. no more bullshit. it feels like a massive weight has been lifted even if he is still relieved that they're under running water. he doesn't need erwin questioning the fact that his eyes are watering as he comes, smaller body shaking without his permission.

anything erwin wants later, he's liable to get...even if it does leave a mess.]

[Almost before he's even finished, Erwin is already wrapping both arms around Levi to hold him close as the other man trembles. His heart is hammering so hard in his chest that it almost hurts, but a good kind of hurt, because this is real. Stooped so that warm water rains down on his back, he buries his face in the crook of Levi's neck, fighting to keep himself calm from the tidal wave of emotions that his orgasm brought along with it. Feeling so much is abnormal for him, yet again it's not a bad thing. Not when he knows that those feelings are safe to be allowed near the surface when Levi is the only one who will see them.

As they both come down from their high, the blonde gently begins to rain kisses down on Levi just as the shower above does with water. There isn't an part of neck or face or shoulders that escapes the sweet, tender little gestures of affection. While there is still a lot more Erwin wants to do together that night, he's more than happy to momentarily do nothing more than show his lover exactly how pleased he is]

Sorry... We didn't wind up doing much cleaning...

[He's teasing, hands stroking and touching whatever part of Levi his lips can't at the moment, purely in a worshipful way rather than seeking to arouse the smaller man again. Yet.]

I'll make it up to you. Wash every inch of you.

[And then promptly get Levi dirty again. It's the simplest and best plan Erwin has has in a very long time.]

[levi's own heart is hammering away so hard that it takes him a minute to register that he's all but hanging off of erwin by one arm, legs a little unsteady, but then he's being hugged. kissed all over in a way that's never happened before and the part of his brain that's always in fight or flight mode doesn't so much as react for once. he feels like he's been running drills on the training grounds, but it's good. perfect even and he pulls erwin in close, head falling back as he lets out a very soft bark of laughter that could double as a sob. he doesn't fucking know anymore as he kisses along both of his lover's pecs and the parts of his throat that he can reach.]

Erwin, if you apologize for any of that again, I am kicking your ass right the fuck out. [his hands slide down the larger man's chest, still experimenting. still trying to get a feel for how this is supposed to go now that he's allowed to touch whatever and whenever he wants. there's so much, he aims to get at all of it with or without a plan.] Check the corner of the stall.

[he gestures to the corner where sure enough, on the floor is a small container with both of their personal effects in it. his soap and erwin's. that weird shit that passes for standard shampoo among the corps. he figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab all of it depending on where they ended up and how. that and erwin isn't the only one who can overthink when he's nervous and looking for something to keep him busy.]

Don't care who goes first...so long as you keep doing that.

[what he means is touching. in general. he's never wanted anyone to do this before and never allowed it. anytime anyone got close, it put him off, but erwin's got his whole body feeling like it's wired on something more than caffeine and barely contained rage. he doesn't even feel the latter right now - just relief and want and so much fucking love for this big geek who doesn't see some underground reject when he looks at him.]

I'll let ya stop when we limp back to the room, but...

Bold of you to presume that, with the knowledge that you're waiting for me, there's any door that could come between us. [He says boldly and honestly, stealing another kiss before turning to see the waiting soaps. Smiling, he can't help another kiss before stooping to fetch a bottle of shampoo. It's nothing fancy but it works to get hair free of everything from dirt to Titan vomit; what else can a Scout ask for? Rumor has it that, left in a bottle of it long enough, a belt buckle will dissolve, but Erwin would like to find the man who has enough of the stuff to waste it like that.]

Then, as your commander, I'm going first. Leading by example.

[Squeezing out a coin-sized amount, he gently begins to run his fingers through Levi's surprisingly soft hair. With each pass of his fingers he stoops to give Levi a fresh kiss, unable to keep their lips apart for any length of time now that they don't have to be. That means, of course, that shampooing Levi's hair takes a much longer time than it normally would. Between kissing his lover and giving his scalp a good massage, Erwin intentionally lingers, savors the giving and receiving of pleasure.

Once Levi's hair is free of suds, Erwin turns his attention to lathering up a washcloth with the other man's chosen soap before running the cloth over every inch of skin. He's as thorough as possible, pausing to give each and every scar a soft kiss. Some were gained after they met, far too many before, and each is something to be cherished. A rough lesson learned or a death narrowly avoided, the scars are a part of Levi and not something to be avoided or ignored.

The commander is especially careful around the bruises left by their earlier collision, wincing with sympathy at the particularly colorful areas.]

It's been a long time since I've had these particular bruises. [He murmurs, tracing a soft finger across one caused by the thigh straps.] You should have seen my legs when I was first learning, though. I'm sure I looked like a particularly ungainly chicken, wobbling around on legs too lanky and skinny for the rest of me. Actually, I take it back. I'm very glad you didn't see me then. I grew in awkward spurts.

[levi scoffs, but it's out of fondness more than anything as he tries to picture it. if erwin's got a feral mode, he's never seen it and since the guy's brain runs on plans and lists, he can't come up with much outside of how bad he'd like to see it. erwin operating on nothing but pure base instinct, just taking whatever he wants as if levi wouldn't put up a fight in the first place...yeah. yeah, it's really hot, but he's not gonna just hand that idea over.]

Whatever you say, Blondie. But we both know who's got stronger legs.

[that were shaking not two or three minutes ago, but he doesn't argue much more than that as he leans back against erwin, eyes slipping closed at the feeling of his fingers on his scalp. they've tended each other's wounds before - anything from a fucked up muscle to cuts that needed stitching, but it was never like this. never as comfortable. levi always tensed up just because he didn't want to get too comfortable in the first place, but now every muscle twitches under erwin's touch, his head resting against his lover's collarbone once the suds are out of his hair. he's pretty sure he'll never get enough of erwin's lips against any part of his skin either...that's gonna be a problem in and of itself as his own fingers trace over each and every muscle in the taller man's abdomen.

he laughs softly, trying to picture erwin with marks up and down his legs. it looks stupid, but...it's not too hard to picture. erwin can ride a horse, but odm maneuvering doesn't come as easily to him. it's always been noticeable in the subtle ways he moves while airborne.]

Can't make fun of you too much since people used to say I looked like a gremlin until my balls dropped and even then, I always had black eyes or a bloody nose. But skinny legs...bet I would've kicked them out from under you just to see you bounce on that thick ass you got.

[so okay, he's smirking wide at that comment even if it's pressed against his lover's chest. he traces his tongue over one of erwin's own scars, clearly teasing as he reaches back, the hand that was already resting on erwin's unbruised thigh sliding up to give his backside a little squeeze before pressing a kiss to the angry purple mark streaking across his chest.]

Think I probably woulda liked you anyway even if I woulda been shit at getting the point across.

[if he'd even known to differentiate liking someone versus picking on them to assert dominance. levi doesn't really know and is glad erwin met him later in life. if they'd known each other as teenagers, they probably wouldn't be slobbering all over each other's scars in the shower. he parts from erwin just long enough to take up the shampoo bottle and presses down on his shoulder carefully, avoiding the bruise to get him to stoop down so he can get at his hair.]

Kinda glad you didn't see me then either.

[Erwin's 'feral' mode existed, simply buried beneath years of military training and suppressed emotions. He suspects that if it ever emerges, Levi will be the one to bring it out, for good or for ill. At the moment, though, he simply laughs at the nickname and continues to lovingly wash the precious man sharing the shower with him. He can't begin to even imagine Levi ever looking like a gremlin, though his behavior on occasion has brought the word to mind.]

Excuse me, I hardly think I'm the one with more rear end to land on. [Of course, he doesn't regularly look at his own ass, but he finds himself looking at Levi's quite often.] But you totally would have beaten me in a fight. I didn't get decent at hand to hand until I was about eighteen, when all my limbs finally figured out what length they wanted to be and I started really building mass. Even then, I fought far too clean to win against you right up until I joined the Scouts and things got real.

[There was an unspoken rule that recruits were hard enough to come by; no matter how much of a punk they were, anyone in one of the proper branches didn't teach them a lesson until after they wore one of the official insignias. After that? Well, Scouts were most often targeted for various and sundry reasons. Erwin learned more in the first month wings were emblazoned on his back than he did in three years of training. The scar Levi's tongue is tracing is one of those hard won lessons.

Levi squeezing his ass is so unexpected it makes Erwin startle, finding himself grinning down at the other man.]

I would have been attracted to the fire in your eyes even more, I think, if I first saw it up close and not soaring overhead on stolen gear. Probably would have hounded you even more to join up once I found out how you fought.

[Obligingly he bends his head down, groaning softly when Levi's fingers find his scalp. He's always loved his hair being brushed or ruffled, generally played with.]

We met when we did for a reason. Still. I think it would have been fun to get to know gremlin Levi. We would have made quite the pair.

[levi's still mindful of his strength even as he works the suds into erwin's hair, knowing that delicate and gentle haven't ever been in his wheelhouse. still, he massages the scalp carefully, reveling in that laugh he likes to hear so much. it's not like he isn't aware of the weight erwin constantly has to bear. if he can relieve it even for a little while, then that's okay with him. when they huddle up for warmth, there's even times where he's considered offering to let erwin lay on his chest instead for once, but always wondered if that wouldn't come off as being too obvious. no point in worrying about any of that now.]

Fine, we'll get a cup and see who can balance it sometime, but you still got enough back there to make me zone out when I'm trying to reform and do paperwork like I'm supposed to.

[there's a hint of laughter in his voice. finally admitting everything he's been bottling up feels that good, but his tone turns serious as soon as erwin mentions training.]

Who cut you? Anyone I should know?

[there's a surge of protectiveness he can never quite explain in moments like that even if he knows the wound is old. and as much as he likes to bullshit around and say he's gonna do shit like break erwin's legs or his fingers or his back, he never actually means it. he can't say the same for people who might come after him, though. he massages the spot behind erwin's ears thoroughly, washing the soap out and wiping it away from his forehead too so it doesn't get in his eyes.]

Sure it was fire and not just some kinda nutrient deficiency? You probably woulda taken one look at my pasty mug when you were eighteen and had second thoughts. Or who knows. Maybe we woulda fucked in an alleyway.

[he's half-serious - not many people in the underground stay virgins for long and he's an exception just because he'd never let anyone near him. he places a kiss on erwin's jaw and trades the shampoo for the soap erwin prefers. it's a scent levi can never exactly pinpoint, but it's erwin. everything from his jacket to his sheets and levi isn't too sure how to admit that he's fond of it. to an underground rat, it's home now. has been ever since they started sharing a room. he lathers up his hands first and starts at erwin's shoulders, circling around him to get as his back. kissing every small mark from old scars to new odm bruises as he goes.]

Or I woulda just gotten you killed or arrested after I stole whatever you were carrying. Like I said...it's better you met me now.

[there isn't any pride in that statement. if he's a shit now, he was a worse shit when he was young, but he's since come to realize how grateful he is to erwin for getting him out of all of that. making him better. giving him some kind of purpose. being with him here like this now is just a bonus and he places reverent kisses along erwin's spine as soapy fingers slide around to his front, levi's body following to tuck itself under his arm.]

Ya saved me, y'know.

[As Levi's fingers work through his hair, Erwin closes his eyes and lets himself relax. Someday he wanted to ask Levi to simply pet his hair and let Erwin sleep with his head in the other man's lap. Why he desired something so specific and simplistic he had no idea, but there it was. Of course there were plenty of other things he'd like to do with the smaller man, now that he's allowed to, but that one ranks perhaps higher than it should when they're both naked and dripping wet.]

A cup? You challenge me to the strangest things. I might also add that you aren't the only one who gets distracted. I was starting to think that whenever you bent over I was going to have to find a reason to excuse myself. It's the worst when you're cleaning in my office and I have to pretend I'm not watching you more than I'm reading whatever report I've been given.

[Hearing that note of laughter in Levi's voice makes Erwin want to kiss him, but he stays still to allow his lover to continue about his task. Especially when Levi rubs behind his ears, Erwin suddenly understands why dogs seem to get so much pleasure from being scratched there.]

No one important. As far as I understand, they're high up in the Military Police now, most likely just as corrupt as the rest of them but at least with enough to do on their hands than to go around picking on new Scouts.

[Levi's protectiveness of him warms Erwin's heart all the same. He has no doubt that if he ever lets his assaulter's name slip, the man will find himself assailed by a shadow in the night that he'll never be able to tie back to the Scouts. Erwin doesn't hold too much of a grudge though. Besides, the MPs have a lot more to answer for beyond leaving a scar on his chest.]

Mmmm, at eighteen? I think I'd stopped being a virgin by then, but I certainly wasn't up to public sex. Now, though... [He teases, stealing a kiss before being turned so Levi could continue to wash him. The hands running over his muscles accompanied by Levi's sweet kisses are doing a good job at getting him worked up again. The idea of alley sex? Practically, it's ridiculous. In his imagination, though...

When he finds the smaller man tucked up against his back, Erwin catches his soapy hands and holds them for a long moment, squeezing softly.]

And you've returned the favor more times than I can count. Beyond that, you give me hope. Maybe all that I've been working towards will come to fruition, so long as you're there to help me.

[Before Levi, Erwin hadn't doubted, per se. But with the raw strength of Humanity's Strongest at his side, how can they possibly lose?]

Once you get done washing me, I fully intend to show you just how grateful I am.

[A playful tone returns to his voice, gently breaking the solemn silence that has momentarily fallen.]

[levi shrugs before scrubbing the bar of soap over erwin's torso, getting in under his arms and down his sides before moving over his abdomen, moving lower. for one thing, this is a shitton easier than knocking hange out and dumping her ass in the nearest filled tub. for another, he's a little stuck on watching the suds and water slide down every perfect inch of the body in front of him. as far as he's concerned, he's never seen anything prettier.]

Yeah. If ya can stand there and keep the cup balanced, then you gotta eat your words.

[so maybe he thought about it once or twice after getting knocked into a tree by an abnormal that'd been in his blindspot. he'd busted three ribs, so whatever had been in the pain medication was probably to blame. that or the boredom as he snorts at erwin's comment.]

That a request for me to clean your office a lot more? I hate to tell you it's probably gonna happen anyway since the dust in there could choke the Colossal if you let it go too long, but you better not be expecting a maid outfit. That kinda request will get you fucking killed.

[he's dead serious as always even as he reaches lower and thoroughly cleans the crease where thigh meets groin. his touch turns gentler as he carefully spreads suds around erwin's cock, half-challenging him as he returns the kiss, slowly but surely finding more confidence as they carry on.]

Right. Guess I'm knocking a couple of Nile's teeth out next time he shows up. I'll go easy on him.

[levi isn't sure, but he can guess. the pissing contest between those two has no limits. personally, he never thought much of nile, but...not really his problem either. it's not like levi thinks much of most people and he's not looking to kill erwin's other friends unless they actually betray him.

moving on from erwin's groin, he reaches around and gives his backside a once over, still looking up at erwin as casually as ever, knowing that the bigger man is getting more and more worked up with each kiss. it may be part of the plan...but only because the son of a bitch was never gonna tell him how he felt.]

Now? Whaddya mean now? You don't expose your dick to any alleyway around here even to piss, that's disgusting.

[his tone is teasing, lighter than usual even, despite the sentiment being completely serious. he can't believe what he's hearing, though. one handjob and all of erwin's kinks come out. it makes levi think he should've just done something sooner.]

Can't promise I won't die before you...but you know I'll kill every single titan that gets in our way. That I can promise. [he grunts softly into the kiss, tugging erwin more under the spray so he's rinsed completely.] That and the fact that sooner or later, I might break the bed.

[he places a smaller, softer kiss on erwin's lips as he shuts the water off.]

So how do you wanna sneak outta here?

[Erwin is more than content to let himself be washed, listening to Levi talk with a content smile on his lips. It's all so simple, yet amazingly intimate. Sure, he and the other Scout have tended to each other plenty of times, especially when wounded. Yet this kind of intimacy, showing how much the two by-nature distrustful men trust one another by allowing the other to wash them was especially sweet.]

Noted. I'll find a cup and a maid uniform. [He can't help laughing at the mental image of a wrathful Levi in one of those ridiculous dresses made of lace and frills. It catches his funny bone so badly that he has to cover his mouth to keep the noise down. An undignified snort even escapes.

Levi washing around his cock is enough to help still the remaining laughter, instead trying to coax out a moan that he also has to stifle into the kiss they share. He doesn't think he'll ever get tired of Levi's hands on him, especially not in that particular area.]

It wasn't Nile, though that's a good guess. He gave me one of the longer ones on my back during a training accident, but I returned the favor a year later...

[Erwin is very distracted from the conversation by Levi kneeling in front of him, groping his ass. It's a sight he can't lie and say he hasn't imagined before, though usually in those imaginings Levi has his lips wrapped around Erwin's cock. Shivering, Erwin reaches down to stroke through his lover's hair, pushing it back off his forehead.]

Calm down, I'm teasing. [He smiles fondly at his precious clean freak.] I promise to only beg you for sex in more sanitary conditions than an alleyway. [Not that that rules out too many places, really. However, Erwin has every intent of keeping this sweet side of Levi secret and his alone. Getting caught would ruin that plan. Besides, that would certainly get them both in trouble. Probably.

Letting himself be rinsed, Erwin momentarily finds himself distracted by the thought of Levi dying. Of himself dying. Selfishly, he hopes that if death must come, it will come to them together. One way or another.

Accepting the sweet kiss, he pulls himself back to the present moment. There's no point in focusing on an uncertain future.]

Well, my original plan involved plenty of moving parts, finding body doubles, and utilization of our ODM gear for climbing up the outside of the building. [He grins teasingly.] But as it is, why don't I leave first and head to my room. You wait a minute or two and then follow. If anyone asks, say you forgot to talk with me about something.

[The hallways should be mostly deserted at this time, since evening was one of the few quiet moments the Scouts got. Once he helps Levi get dried off, peppering in many more kisses and gropes along the way, Erwin pulls on his clothes and, carrying his boots, exits from the washroom. Thankfully it looks like he was right, the hall back to his room empty. Thank goodness, because he isn't sure how he would explain that he's carrying his jacket in such a way as to keep his crotch covered.

Once back in his room, he swiftly makes sure everything is in place before sitting on the edge of his bed, heart hammering. While Erwin may not be a virgin like Levi is, his excitement is making him feel as if he is.]
