Author's Note: Hello, lovelies! This story discusses some adult content, but it is literally a discussion between adults, and nothing actually happens. Still, if sexual topics bother you, feel free to skip this one and give yourself a cookie instead. :)

"Next on the list is..." You paused, your eyes scanning the paper in your hand as you tried to figure out where you'd left off. Of course, it probably didn't help that you were currently hanging upside-down off the seat of the couch, but you weren't ready to move just yet. After all, it had been your idea to sit casually in order to take the pressure out of an otherwise-serious conversation. But...maybe you were being a bit extreme...

"Ah, here we go!" you proclaimed victoriously. "Number eleven: finances. Do we open a joint bank account? How will we split the bills? Should we communicate with each other before making big purchases?"

"Depends on whether we think the government will start coming after us again," Levi grumbled from where he sat on the floor, leaning his back against the couch next to you. "The more we spread our money around, the harder it is for the government to trace and freeze. But as long as Historia's regime holds, a joint account could save us money on bank fees."

"Huh, never thought of it that way," you grumbled, genuinely impressed at Levi's financial savvy. Then again, you shouldn't have been surprised, considering what he'd told you about his years in the Underground. "So...do we have faith in Historia, then?"

"Seems like a good bet," Levi muttered. "I'd say we get a joint account, but make sure we put some money away elsewhere in case of emergencies."

"Sounds good," you chimed, jotting notes in the margin of the page. "And the other stuff? I mean, we don't really have bills at the moment, since we live and breathe on the military's dime. But if we ever did, would fifty-fifty be okay?"

"Yeah," he agreed. "And as for big purchases, I think it'd be good to discuss it. We're both responsible enough, but just so we're on the same page. I'd also prefer not to go into debt unless there's really no other option."

"Agreed. That one's done, then," you murmured, finally giving up your upside-down endeavor and hauling yourself around to sit properly on the couch.

While you were jotting down the last of your notes, Levi asked, "Oi, how many more of these do we have, anyway?"

"Mrs. Becker gave us twenty total," you informed him. Indeed, after hearing about your engagement to Levi, the elderly owner of your favorite café had created this list of things to discuss before marriage. Given that she had almost fifty years of experience with the institution, you were inclined to take her advice. "Next is...number twelve: sex."

Your fiancé made an odd, choking noise. "W-what about it?" he stuttered, his cheeks tinting pink.

You shrugged. "I guess...whether you're comfortable with us having it, for starters."

"Oh, um..." Levi stammered, his eyes flicking to a spot on the floor. "Y-yeah. I'd be comfortable...with y-you. But...only if you are. I don't want –"

You placed your hand on his shoulder, and when he looked up, his gaze found your warm smile. "I'm comfortable with you, too," you assured him lovingly.

Levi's eyes went wide before he quickly turned his head away. Yet, you could still see his blush reach back to touch his ears. "O-okay, then..." he mumbled quietly.

You chuckled at his adorable shyness and slid your hand from his shoulder before glancing at the list again. "Well, now that we've established we'll be doing that, we should talk about boundaries."
