- I'll do it only if you want to.

he was close, really close, closest he's ever been, so close that Eren could count the tiny blemishes on Levi's cheeks and the red veins in his eyes.

now it hit him how deep and dark Levi's eye bags were, looking almost painful to wear, and he had to restrain himself to start kissing them in hope of making them disappear.

captain smelled of bleach and sweat. and something else. Eren couldn't pinpoint what it was, he only knew the smell was only on Levi, exclusively. was it his skin? his hair? or maybe it was just an illusion, playing in Eren's head?

seconds passed, and Eren hasn't made a move, indulging in the moment, still shocked by how it turned to this.

it's not like he's complaining, no. he was just...confused.

Levi also didn't move an inch, his body stern as rock, and only his sharp eyes were roaming around the latter's face, as if looking for answers.

what are you going to do, Eren? what are you going to do?

to be honest, Eren knew the answer the moment it all happened, but it's a long way from thinking to acting. surprisingly, considering his quick-tempered nature, he wondered whether it was a good time for this, with humans on the edge of extinction, whether maybe they should wait till the whole turmoil would settle, and what will the others say, and what the hell Eren there won't be any better moment than this ! and with this in his mind, he closed the distance to the width of a thread.

for one millisecond all he felt was the heat of Levi's lips, but didn't get the chance to bask in it, because Levi took it as an approval to smash their lips together.

chasty kiss, completely uncontrolled and somehow messy, but still managed to set Eren on edge. Levi roughly grabbed his shoulders to pull him closer, and Eren had no idea what the hell to do with his own hands, but God knew it wasn't exactly on his priorities, as his whole nervous system concentrated on his lips and how good, it felt, despise the bits of awkwardness. Levi moved his mouth on Eren's, occasionally licking the pinkish skin, before he decided to get his teeth involved as well and boldly bit him. Eren's body reacted in a way he never thought he would, sending a hot wave of weird pleasure down his spine. it shocked him so much that he just had to gasp for some air, but Levi's grip was strong and didn't allow him to part even a bit. and now as he got an access to Eren's opened mouth, he instinctively inserted his tongue to explore the inner taste.

Levi was rough and a bit animalistic and so so hot. with every move, every hungry gulp for air because fuck if he hasn't forgot how to breath normally, Eren felt a growing hunger for more. so he finally snapped out of his confusion and figured that there may be a use for his hands. he interlocked his fingers behind Levi's lower back and brought him even closer. Levi audibly growled in response and shifted his head since their proximity made their noses crash.

the angle was still uncomfortable. Eren didn't mind, but Levi apparently did. he brought his hands up till they reached the hair on Eren's nape, and pulled them. hard. almost violently. Eren unwittingly whimpered. how something so painful could feel so lusciously?

the force in Levi's palms was so strong it made Eren bend in his knees.

- lower - Levi managed to mutter, sounding out of tune, voice hoarse and lower by an octave or two. 

Eren submitted and let his knees drop to the ground, while his hands landed on captain's ass. he took the opportunity to grate his nails on the muscles, firm and hard under his touch. at the same time Levi, now having an upper hand, entangled his fingers in Eren's hair.

it was a divine feeling, and Eren realized how sensitive his scalp was. he let out a breathy, quiet moan, and dug his palms into Levi's pants and was awarded with a hum from the latter.

the kiss felt like ablaze, burning his throat and tongue, spinning his head to the point of dizziness. all of his senses were on cloud nine - indescribable taste, hard touch, the smell of skin, hearing breathy huffs and wet sounds that in other circumstances would make him cringe. they both lacked technique, blame it on their little to no experience, but passion filled up all the deficiencies. Eren roamed his fingers until he reached the hem of Levi's pants, and slipped under his shirt, experiencing the feeling of captain's scarred skin.

suddenly Levi growled loudly and pushed them both onto the ground. the sudden impact broke their kiss and for the first time in the last few minutes they were given the chance to steady their erratic breaths.

Levi was hanging above Eren propped on his elbows, and had a grimace on his face.

- my neck - he huffed.

- your...neck? - Eren blinked.

- the positions was uncomfortable.

oh.

instinctively, Eren raised his hands, placed them on captain's nape and circled his fingers on the supposedly hurt spot. as Levi closed his eyes and hummed, Eren high-fived himself in his mind for the decision, and now he had a perfect opportunity to look how the kiss affected the other. Levi's hair was messed up, even in battle it wasn't so disheveled. his cheeks attained a slight color, and lips oh the lips so swollen, ruddy, and glistering from saliva. the whole view was nothing like captain Eren knew, and to think that it was because of him...

I wonder how I look.

Eren massaged Levi's stiff neck, sometimes wandering to his undercut, and wondered whether captain would also enjoy hair-playing just like he did, but Levi broke the train of his thoughts sliding down and laying down on Eren, causing him to gasp from surprise. Levi's face was now close to the crook of Eren's neck.

- continue - Levi whispered to Eren's ear with a hot breath.
