Work Text:
It was a day like any other, or he insisted on saying that to himself. As every other October, even if he hadn't had lots of them with the Scouts, he was good enough to predict the delight of cadets, superiors and leaders to step inside the building with their filthy covered boots. Mud everywhere equals a nightmare.
Levi mops vigorously, as if he was the only person in that small, enclosed world. Everything was silent at that hour, of course, it was close to midnight and according to the rules, nobody should be on the corridors except maybe the ones coming back from a brothel, a party or whatever people like to do in a Friday night in a month like this one; humid, but not enough to rain. Cold, but not enough to replace the hot smoke left behind by the sun.
He should be... back. In a minute. Maybe soon.
Levi shakes his head, a little bit surprised by his own thoughts. Why would he care, anyway? Why should he care? There wasn't any reason to be thinking the way he is right now, maybe stomping his head inside the filthy water bucket that he's using to mop would be enough punishment.
The celebration was by noon, as some of the veterans insisted on having lunch with Erwin in the dinner hall. All of them had a conversation, Levi even had a seat on it (Hange insisted) and listened to every stupid old story all of those strong enough to survive had to tell. Miche was extremely satisfied with himself as he was the one organizing the entire thing, and Hange was throwing jokes every time they could. "We don't see him enough outside work anymore" They said to Levi, just as everyone was going back to their duties after lunch.
Erwin was positioned as the commander now, anyway, and there was just a few months left to Shadis, the one carrying the title officially by now. He was a drunkass, and he and Erwin had some stuff going on, the type of "I envy your youth" stuff, or at least Levi could say until now. In all those meetings, with Erwin dragging Levi around the superiors with the excuse of him being " One of the best soldiers and thus, one that should be aware of planning and more serious matters ".
Levi was now conscious about his own power, and the responsibility that comes with it. Erwin was aware that Levi was, and in some strange non-verbal way they started to get along after months of Levi's reluctance to accept his new lifestyle. Acceptance, what a weird word. Resignation could be the other, but he would lie if he said that.
There's a stain on the floor. A hard one. Levi even has to put his foot on the mop to apply more pressure to it. Those motherfuckers, they don't even care for the ground they're stepping on.
"Levi?"
He stands straight. There comes again, the line of his back like a bow and he tries very hard not to face him completely.
"Yes?"
"Can you come to my office when you finish, please?"
"It's almost midnight." Levi counters, even if he has no good reason to do it.
"You don't sleep." Erwin says nonchalantly while he walks away, dressed in his formal clothes, smelling freshly of fancy dinner and Pixis's whiskey.
Levi doesn't reply because he's gone already. He tries hard to not end his self-imposed task in a hurry. Leaving the building as clean as his own standards takes away a lot of his free time anyway.
Parsimoniously, he washes his hands when he takes away the mop and starts his way upstairs. The echoes of his own footsteps bring a sense of comfort to his ears, a repetitive pattern in which he can focus as his heart starts to pump furiously against its ribcage. The closer he gets to the now well known door, the harder its to take control over breathing. Not like it's obvious from other's perspective, as Levi is accustomed to managing his inner storms.
He knocks two times but doesn't wait for a response. Erwin would see it not as an ask for permission, but as a way to announce himself. He is seated at his desk, reading something with a frown. The wrinkles around his eyes makes him look older.
"So you had enough parties already." Levi advances until he is in front of the desk, and Erwin acknowledges him breaking the spell of the papers and putting a stupid smile on his face.
"I've had enough birthday parties to fill the next ten years." Levi rolls his eyes. He observes the way Erwin interlaces his fingers on the desk and looks at him attentively, paperwork forgotten.
"What do you want?"
Levi is harsh, and sometimes is not even intentional. Maybe Blondie thinks is charming in a way, as his behavior against Levi's "peculiarities" was abnormal from the very beginning. He seemed delighted most of the time, if Levi stops to think about it.
"To talk. Haven't seen you all day."
The response makes him snort and look away. He can say embarrassing things like that too, even more when the moonlight is the only thing witnessing this thing between them. This back and forth, being on edge but the fall never comes.
“What do you want to talk about then? Didn’t you enjoy rambling with Pixis and the others?” Levi feels a sudden flash of confidence, and replies as he crosses his arms. Having Erwin’s attention was something he will not admit to liking. A little bit.
“Got tired. I’m not as young as I used to be.” Erwin relaxes a bit, his body now leaning slightly on the backseat. Levi gets a little closer, going around the desk and leaning his hip on it.
“I would not believe that.” That’s because he is an imposing man, one that knows how to use words and charm to his advantage. Levi observes the way he delights people, persuading them, as if they were on a spell ready to surrender. They don’t know how much Erwin fights against himself to take care of himself, do they? Also, Erwin can do the talk as if it was his second nature.
“Are you saying I look younger… in your eyes?” Erwin’s bushy eyebrows get slightly arched, as a smile paints his goofy face.
“I’m not saying anything. Much less giving you compliments .” Levi replies with disgust, a light color dusting his cheeks.
“Not even on my birthday?” The blue eyes get posed on Levi’s hand that is using to lean on the desk. He can feel the pull, the shudder of his own brain and strings all over his body pulling, pulling, pulling…
“There’s nothing special about it.” The hand gets close. Levi ends the space between them, allowing him once again to do this, to ruin the domain of his integrity and beliefs. It’s just a hand, fingers, flesh and bone…
“You hurt me, Levi.” It’s a tug, to make him get close to him, to his open arms. Erwin stands up to face him, to invade his space as an entire army. All of it without his eyes leaving Levi’s face, his mouth, fighting for control.
It’s just a person, just like every other he had faced in his life. Erwin is a human, a mere mortal with the stubbornness to survive, just like him. He’s alone, he has been for a long time. They had… encountered each other a couple of times, had held each other on a cold night. Levi is as human as he is, they are the same. He doesn’t understand Erwin, his obsession, the madness in his eyes when he gets close to the truth. He doesn’t get why Erwin had gotten close, but doesn’t question it either.
“I saw you at lunch” Erwin’s voice is low, as if they weren’t alone in the office. Levi’s eyes follow the line of his cheek and the golden, almost absent dust of beard below his jaw.
“Hange insisted.” He feels the hand on his cheek, then. Not even the hand, just two fingers leading his face to meet Erwin’s.
“Maybe I asked them.”
“You wha-” Levi feels the sudden heat when their lips collide. It’s not rushed, but Erwin actually lets out a sigh on the kiss that makes Levi feel embarrassed and hot all over. There’s a string of saliva bounding both of them mouths when Erwin gets away slightly, looking at him with a guilty expression.
“I’m sorry. Shouldn’t make you do things you don’t want outside work.”
Levi looks away, as his weak and pathetic body starts to reply to the whole situation. He can feel himself getting knots everywhere, his arms, legs and groin. The temperature will be unbearable at any moment. He hates Erwin, hates the desperation that Levi feels for him, for this thing.
“It’s fine. I would've been there anyway.”
Erwin holds his hand. He keeps it close to his chest and kisses it. Levi looks at the entire action from outside, from a different plane of existence that screams and throws the entire regimen for the window. Is he this selfish?
“Are you coming tonight?” Erwin kisses his knuckles, each of them. Tenderly would be a good enough word to describe it.
“What do you mean?”
“To my quarters, Levi.” Levi’s foggy gaze is lost in blue, just as the sky above. Levi clears his throat and nods.
“I was planning to. But I have to bathe first.”
“Great.” Erwin leans to leave a kiss on his cheek and whispers in his ear “See you in a bit.”
Levi scrubs himself until it hurts. He feels himself tightening inside his trousers when he knocks at Erwin’s door. Pathetic old man, behaving like this. He should be mocking Erwin for it, but he just can’t control himself, this strong tugging…
“Come in, please.” Erwin steps aside to let him in and closes the door behind his back.
The sheets are fresh, Levi can say. There’s a certain order on Erwin’s items too. As if he had prepared the entire thing for Levi to not get stressed about the mess easily. Erwin is not a filthy person, but sometimes leaves his books on what he calls “strategic spots”, there’s stains of dye on the cushions sometimes, one or two shirts hanging on the corners when the hours at desk are unbearable. Levi can take care of things like these, and he would not say a word against it. Feeling Erwin’s presence on little things was… refreshing, in a way. A memory that he can keep to himself, quietly.
Levi tugs at his own long sleeved shirt by himself, suddenly consumed by the sensations. The scarce light projects the shadows on the wall, the lines of his naked torso. He sees Erwin approaching from behind, a hand on the freshly cut hairs of his nape, rubbing his palm along Levi’s neck.
“I was going to offer you tea.”
“That can wait for now.” Levi wants to say thank you, but the words die on his throat. What is he doing? How is he thinking this is going to end, anyway?
Erwin’s hand directs his face to him so he can lean to kiss him open mouthed, fingers digging on his skin. Levi tugs at Erwin’s buttons clumsily, heart pumping furiously on his ears. They share some quick breaths before continuing, Levi trying hard not to make his hands collide and tremble, Erwin maintaining a firm grip on Levi’s face and neck as if he was waiting for something.
“What? You don’t want me to undress?” Levi asks against Erwin’s panting mouth. His face is blushed with golden strands of hair falling ridiculously all over the place.
“It’s not that, just…” He bites his own lip and seems to consider his words before talking “... I want to try something.”
Levi can feel his brows furrowing.
“I hope is nothing weird like… shit or something”
Erwin burst out a laugh that ends as soon as he sees Levi’s expression. He takes a trembling breath and shakes his head.
“Not… not like that.”
“Then what?”
Erwin clears his throat.
“Can I show you instead?” Levi narrows his eyes and then nods, trousers already falling on the floor with the grace of a thousand clouds.
“Alright but… I’ll hit you if you get weird.” Erwin nods again trying to suppress a laugh, he doesn’t want to make Levi uncomfortable either but the whole situation makes his chest ache. What did he do to deserve Levi anyway?
“On all fours, please.” Erwin touches Levi’s back as soon as they’re kneeling on the bed. He arches his body in a way that makes Erwin’s blood to pump on places he shouldn’t indulge right now. He has to stroke himself above the clothes to relieve some pressure even, but his hands go back to the milky skin in front of him.
Levi sends him a look over his shoulder and Erwin smiles at him, caressing his legs soothingly.
“You’re such an old man. It’s so obvious.” Levi says, turning his face away and hiding the blush that creeps on his ears.
“Am I?” Erwin leans slightly to leave a kiss on Levi’s back, following the line of his column until it reaches the end. “Guilty as charged”
The truth was, Levi’s body was at what people called at its peak. Since he came above, he had started to eat real food, nothing fancy aside from the tea he enjoys so much, but the good diet and the military training had done wonders for him, as his face stopped having some empty spaces and now has round cheeks and a body full of round places combined with lithe muscles.
“Shit…” Levi sighs as Erwin starts to leave little kisses and nips on the skin of his perky ass. “That’s it? That’s what you wanted to try so much?”
Erwin lifts his face slightly, only to remember that in fact he hadn’t started his true purpose below there. He strokes Levi’s thigh, covering with his whole hand as he sits in a more comfortable position to observe better.
“No, Levi. That wasn’t it. Do you know what people usually do on birthdays?”
He can feel the trembling in his own voice, as the arousal starts to cling over the skin of his face and hands, turning it all on fire. His fingers crawl all over Levi’s plump asschecks and give a hard massage to the muscle and wiggle tissue, digging his fingertips on it.
“Ah… no? I guess… parties?” Levi says, already affected if the crimson color on his neck says something.
Erwin groans at the sight when he pulls apart the muscles on Levi’s ass and reveals the thing he had been looking (and thinking for). He smiles to himself as he observes the skin of his puckered little hole starting to move by itself. It’s not the first time, certainly, but he and Levi had been reserved about things except for tonight. He had never tried to do this and Levi had never asked.
“So pretty…” Erwin spits over it, and it provokes in Levi a reaction similar to a stroke, his knees becoming weak momentarily. “And what do they do at those parties?”
Levi can feel the spit sliding down his rear, Erwin can say. The color on his body starts to get brighter as he turns his face to the side to let out a sound that can be considered a moan.
“I… I don’t know. They eat and chat and… fuck…” Erwin smiles to himself as he watches the spit going down his thigh and ends on the sheets. He leans slightly, opening the way for his face to come closer and lets out a sigh just in front of Levi’s little hole.
“What do they eat?”
Levi tenses and his toes curl. He hides his face as his shoulder blades fight against the muscles of his back. Erwin hadn’t even started by now but the way his own little cock hangs hard between his already swollen folds says that he is on edge already.
“I will give you a clue, Levi, because you look stunning like this.” Erwin uses two fingers to palm at Levi’s inner skin of his lips, moving them around the impossibly soft tissue, giving barely a stroke to his hardness. His fingers are getting consumed by the heat coming off the front hole. Levi’s hips move but they can’t reach a firm point to rub, so it must be frustrating. “It’s something smooth… very sweet too.”
Levi’s panting breaths now are audible enough to reach Erwin’s ears. He decides that it is time to start for real and gets in position again to open Levi’s cheeks and give a long stripe from his perineum to the end of his ass, using the complete expanse of his tongue and groaning at the end of it.
“Erwin… what the fuck…” Levi says, his toes curling and moving around as Erwin lets out a breathy laugh looking at the thing he finally did and the way Levi is trembling all over his hands.
“Couldn’t have asked for a cake this delicious, don’t you agree?” Levi’s eyes become wide as Erwin loses a great part of his own inhibitions and starts to lap the puckered skin with his tongue, maintaining the way open with both hands.
Erwin loses himself fast, if he is being honest, maybe too fast. He licks with abandon, just as he has been wishing for since the first time he lapped at Levi’s folds and it was just once. The sweet, musky taste is so distinctive of Levi that he ends up moaning against his rear, breathing for air and griping Levi’s swollen lips with his hand, stimulating both places at the same time. Probably the best part is the way Levi presents himself, opening his legs invitingly and accommodating his sweaty body to give better access to his fingers and tongue. Erwin is delighted by it, feeling the palm of his hand start to soak and his own face getting wet at the sides.
“It’s beautiful Levi, you should see yourself…” Erwin comments enjoying the view of a drop of transparent liquid sliding down Levi’s cunt combined with the asschecks glistening with spit, pink tones making a mosaic with scars and healthy skin. He goes back to his task, eager to please.
It’s animalistic and probably not the thing that Levi could think he wishes for, but he keeps moaning against the sheets and pulling his own hair and nipples from time to time as Erwin works him up close, closer with every movement of his fingers between his sweet labia, not even entering, just palming at Levi’s sweet spots, the hot liquid spurring and sliding down Erwin’s fingertips as a way to beg for mercy. His hole winks, opens and closes around nothing as Erwin continues to give him superficial licks and when he points his tongue to put it in the center, Levi’s thighs tremble and a white noise fills his ears. Erwin can feel Levi’s orgasm getting so close he can taste it, so he decides to suck at his needy hole right away and closes his own eyes in pleasure as two of his fingers get adventured inside Levi’s warm front hole, a sweet cave that receives him as a well known guest.
Levi cries for more as his hips move erratically, the way his entire body tenses and trembles from time to time, sweat pooling in certain points as he works up his pleasure out of Erwin’s tongue and hand, using him all he wants to get consumed by the euphoria. He palms at his own swollen nipples as his inner walls throb and take Erwin’s fingers to himself, getting selfish and beautifully taking everything he needs. It’s too much.
Erwin brings to life Levi’s name as he hurriedly opens the buttons of his own trousers and gets his boner free, the cold air making him shiver as he strokes himself to end. Levi is totally wrecked, so much that he doesn’t even look at him as Erwin works on his own pleasure, the tip of his cock touching barely Levi’s ass.
He doesn’t need a lot of time to finish, spurts of white color paint Levi’s back and hole. Erwin just needs to imagine the vivid sensation of being with Levi, inside of him, to end up building his pleasure and reach the peak of it, groaning at the view, the sensation and the sweet pain of his chest. It was never that serious but the last content sigh wasn’t a product of lust. The same goes for the kiss at Levi’s back, the gratitude he feels for his trust, his loyalty. Levi ends up beside him laying on his side, observing Erwin’s messed up face and clothes.
“Who would say the commander is this much into eating ass?”
The sudden comment makes Erwin burst out a laugh, coughing at the end as he hasn’t recovered completely. Levi puts a hand on his chest and palms it, as if that could help.
“I’m sorry. Got carried away.”
“No shit.” Levi’s eyes are closed but his brows get furrowed. Erwin wants to get close so bad but instead gets on his two feet and makes his way to clean himself so he can approach Levi’s face without feeling gross.
Even if Erwin is not a cleaning enthusiast by himself, he believes that Levi is more observant than the rest of the people. He had proved to be smart, one of the smartest people he had met. Levi never went to a normal school, but he is capable of reading situations, people's intentions and with some guidance he is excellent at math too. So Erwin had started to rely on him a lot, maybe too much in the eyes of others. But they would never understand, don’t they?
“What?” Erwin gets outside his thoughts to look at Levi’s face who is caressing his eyebrow with his thumb.
“Nothing. Just…” He sighs, now relaxing once more under the ghostly touch of Levi’s hand. He doesn’t know how to caress other people, but the try is enough to make Erwin’s storm go silent again. He breathes deeply enough to feel tired once again.
“ I’m glad you were born, blondie. Now sleep.”
Levi ends up curled in a cocoon of warmth, as Erwin’s body can be useful on nights like these. October is cold by night after all, even if during the morning the soft breeze seems inofensive. He stretches, awake too soon again. The moon is still above in the sky, so he decides it would be a good idea to get an early shower and start his routine at five am as usual.
Erwin is reluctant to let him go, it seems. Levi rolls his eyes as his heart is beating particularly hard. This thing is not that serious, anyway. Erwin is a freak, and Levi is too, to a certain point, so they get along very well. That’s good enough, isn’t it? Levi achieves to get free of his arms without wake him up (he sleeps like a ton of rocks) and hisses at the sudden change of temperature.
“Shit, it's cold.” Levi mutters to himself as the breeze beats his warm body. He dresses as quietly as possible and then sees Erwin’s jacked hanging from a chair.
-.-
“Look at that! Erwin, are you now a fashionista or something?” Someone asks, looking over Erwin’s clothes selection: formal trousers and the Scouts uniform jacket. Unusual combination.
“No, Hange. I couldn’t find my jacket.”
They burst a laugh. It’s going to be a long October 15.
