"Well that was a relaxing bath," Levi sighed, crashing on the bed, taking Hange with him by her waist. Her hair was damp and so was his, but that didn't matter. He planted soft kisses on her nose and ears, wrapping his legs around hers.

"It sure was," her words came out through a giggle.

She returned his affection, cupping his face and tracing her thumb over his cheek. She squirmed out of his grasp, so the pair could lay face-to-face in their double bed.

When the two of them were older and finished school, they decided to find a new house.

It was a simple home, but they knew they had to buy it when Hange found out that the master bedroom had a bay.

Sunlight would flood the room in the summer, and when you walked in you could feel the heat prance on your skin. Their bedroom was fairly simple, decorated in soft beige, white and green accents that complemented each other very well. In the bay window, Levi had inserted a built-in seating area for his wife, tying in her love for the sun with her love of reading.

"I love you, four-eyes."
"I love you, too," she said, pecking his nose. Her eyes were not hidden behind her glasses, giving him a chance to lose himself in them. He played with a lock of her hair.

"Hold on, wait here."
Hange sat up and tilted her head to see what he was doing. He grabbed a towel from their closet and sat behind her, drying her hair, then running her green brush through it.

When he was finished and Hange had stopped her failed attempt at trying to dry his, he tossed it into the bathroom. 

"Now where were we?" he asked, raising his eyebrow, playfully almost. Hange grinned and yanked him down by his shirt, kissing him with ferocity.

Crying noises and running was heard outside their door, making them both pull away.
"Tsk, what are those brats up to now?"
They heard their bedroom door fling open, instantly scrambling off each other.

Five years on from their wedding, they'd even welcomed two children into the world.
"Papa! Leelu ruined my painting!" Samson wailed, throwing his arms in the air dramatically.
"Leelu's only two, Sammy. I'm sure she didn't mean it," he said, bringing the four-year-old into his lap and brushing the hair out of his eyes.

Samson sniffled, burying his head against Levi's chest.
"Leelu's annoying."
Levi chuckled, ruffling his hair.

Leelu, their little daughter, stumbled into the room on her chubby legs, her hair scrunched into a small pony on the top of her head.

Hange scooped the toddler in her arms, their sluggish cat following behind. Nike had grown up to say the least and Leelu was his favourite Ackerman. Wherever she went, the little fatty followed.

"Mama, Sammy kicked my legos over," she mumbled.
"Hey, both of you need to apologise for ruining each other's stuff," Hange said, placing the two of them facing each other on the mattress.

They stubbornly huffed, until Leelu saw Samson's dried tears, concern growing on her chubby face.

"S-sorry Sammy, for messing up your picture."
"I'm sorry for kicking your tower over."
"Friends?"
"Friends."

They grinned and hugged each other, then Samson grabbed his sister's hand and the two ran off.

Hange and Levi shared a glance.
"Those two are something."
"Leelu reminds me of you, Rivi."
"And Sammy's a renegade like you, four-eyes."

Hange kissed his cheek.
"We should start getting ready for the big date, love."
"Okay, lemme just go see what those two are up to, they've gone quiet."
