Couch

"It's not that bad."

"It is so that bad."

Levi frowns at Eren, who for once is frowning right back. "How?" Levi asks.

"How? You saw that spring that almost shoved itself up my ass yesterday, right? Sex coulda gotten real challenging if I hadn't noticed in time."

Levi just sighs, leaning on his hand with his elbow resting in the window of Eren's car. "I still don't see why spew have to go shopping for a couch today."

"Cause it's the only day I have time to help you pick something that isn't totally offensive to the rest of the décor in your apartment."

Levi sighs and stares out the window. "Furniture shopping bores me to death."

"Obviously, judging by your ancient couch."

They don't talk much again until they get to the furniture store. "So what kind of couch do you want?" Eren asks.

Levi makes a face at him. "You're asking me when you just sprung this trip on me less than an hour ago."

"I just meant, like, do you want a sectional or a normal couch like before."

"I don't know," Levi replies. "Can we just look around until I see something I like?"

Eren shrugs. "I suppose so."

"C'mon brat," Levi says and takes Eren's hand.

Eren's face goes red, still not used to Levi's rare public displays of affection.

They've only been going out for a few months so Eren is still a little shaky on boundaries, he wasn't even sure if he was overstepping one by insisting Levi replace a major piece of furniture.

Judging by the older man's reaction Eren hadn't done anything too strange but he was still unsure.

They walk around for a few minutes, oddly enough it's mostly Levi doing to talking.

When Levi finally notices this he frowns and flops himself on the closest couch he can reach, an awful red, leather loveseat, looking up at Eren. "What do you think? Look good on me?"

Eren can't help the grin that crosses his face. "Everything looks great on you."

Levi rolls his eyes as he stands back up. "Flattery will only get you everywhere, honey."

Eren spots a dark green suede one and grins, throwing himself onto it. "Would you bang me on this thing?"

Eren doesn't miss the spark in his boyfriend's eyes as Levi leans over him. "Are you kidding? I'd bang you anywhere."

Eren shoves him off and jumps onto a grey and white corduroy couch. "Even on this eyesore?"

Levi sits back on a black recliner. "And especially on this thing."

Eren runs down the rest of the aisle and flops onto a couch the exact color of Levi's old one. "What about here?"

Levi smirks and straddles Eren's lap, kissing him. Eren's hands immediately move to Levi's hips and up the back of his shirt.

"Excuse me."

They break apart and Eren blushes at the anger on the sales person's face. Levi is collected as ever, leaning away from Eren with a cold look in his grey eyes.

Eren can see the pudgy old man shrink in his shoes. "Got a problem?" Levi asks.

The old man's cheeks go redder than they already were. "If you're not here to make a purchase, I'd like to ask you to leave immediately. You're making the other customers uncomfortable."

Eren could count three other customers in the store, one looking at dining tables and the other testing mattresses, none of which were looking at them. "Well," Levi drawls, standing at his full height and putting his hands in his pockets.

Eren had only seen this persona a handful of times but it always gave Eren the impression Levi was taller that his less than five and half feet; it was a look usually reserved for business deals.

"We had every intention of making a purchase but if you're going to be rude a make assumptions we'll take our business elsewhere."

Levi made sure to flash his clearly way-too-expensive watch as he held a hand out toward Eren. Eren, slightly intimidated himself, took Levi's hand and stood. Levi winks at Eren as he turns from the salesman.

"It's a shame too," he says. "That couch would've been perfect."

The salesman sputters rather pitifully and Eren almost laughs. "Wait," the old man says.

Levi turns, still sporting his serious face. "Yeah?"

"I'm very sorry," he says quickly. "There are just so many people who come in here and mess up the showroom and don't buy anything. We have to be cautious, you know. If you'll stay I can give you a good discount."

Levi smirks and Eren feels he's ears heat up at how hot serious Levi can be. "Deal," Levi says.

When they leave a half hour later, Eren begins devouring Levi's mouth as soon as they get in the car. "What's that for?" he asks.

"No reason," Eren says, starting up the car.
