"Hup!"

(Y/n) swung her large, stuffed hiking backpack onto her back with a determined grin.

What better way to celebrate their last day of their honeymoon than by tackling Japan's iconic Mount Fuji?

"C'mon, c'mon! I wanna go already!!" she nagged Levi, bouncing on her heels with excitement.

"Dammit, alright. Hold on," Levi grumbled, clearly irritated by the early hour.

It was precisely 4:35 a.m. Why in the world (Y/n) had chosen this ungodly hour was a mystery even to the gods. Levi, however, was less than thrilled. He'd much rather have stayed in bed, still feeling the aftereffects of their 'festivities' from the night before.

"Aw, I'm sorry. I forgot you're still waking up," she said sweetly, pressing a kiss to his cheek before heading out into the living room of their hotel suite.

The suite had been quite a luxurious and intimate escape, a setting that Levi would certainly miss. Its cozy atmosphere had been both relaxing and, well, a bit erotic.

Their hotel suite was a blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. The floors were a rich, dark wood, laid out in a striking zig-zag pattern that added a touch of sophistication to the room. The furniture followed the same wood-based theme, with strands of either authentic or expertly crafted faux wood intricately braided together. This design was complemented by light beige couch cushions adorned with cute powdered blue pillows, creating a cozy yet stylish living area.

The kitchen area was sleek and modern, featuring elegant black and white marble countertops that contrasted beautifully with the gray stainless steel sink. The kitchen island was paired with leather stools, adding a touch of luxury to the space. The fridge was an all-black marvel with gray steel handles, blending seamlessly with the contemporary design.

In the living room, a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass windows offered a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, showcasing the natural beauty just outside. The balcony, accessible through sliding glass doors, provided an additional way to enjoy the stunning scenery, perfect for those moments when merely gazing from inside wasn't enough for nature enthusiasts.

(Y/n) approached the large window and slid the white curtains apart, eager to take in the natural beauty outside. "Here we come, Mt. Fuji. Wait for me," she murmured to herself, her excitement palpable.

She then walked over to the full-length mirror placed in the corner of the living room suite and examined her outfit. She was dressed for their hiking adventure, sporting [f/c] gym shorts and a light [f/c] shirt with a [f/c] training bra underneath. Her hiking shoes were [c] and [c], featuring cushioned soles for comfort, and she wore [c] socks that reached up to her mid-shin. Not a fan of their height, she folded them so they cuffed at her ankles.

To protect her skin from the blistering Japanese sun, she made sure to apply sunblock, and packed a spray bottle for reapplication, knowing she might need it as she worked up a sweat. For headwear, she chose the Survey Corps University cap and kept her sunglasses tucked into her shirt collar.

Fully prepared for their morning adventure, she felt a thrill of anticipation, especially with her husband, Levi, by her side.

Almost out of nowhere, (Y/n) blushed a deep shade of red and clasped her hands to her cheeks. "I can't believe it. I'm officially... (Y/n) Ackerman!" she exclaimed in a fangirling tone, her excitement barely contained.

"Damn right," Levi replied, leaning casually in the doorway between their room and the living room.

(Y/n) turned to him, chuckling as she took in his attire. He wore light gray hiking shorts, a lightweight white shirt, and brown ankle-high hiking boots. His watch was strapped to his wrist, and his black cap was clipped to his pants while his sunglasses hung from his shirt collar, just like hers. His hiking bag, packed and ready, rested by his feet.
