four - a dance in the rain

It had been two days since the lunch date and Hange got her things from Erwin's apartment. The brunette currently sat on the floor of the large glass wall in the living room, watching the rain fall and hit the grass and pavement with soft, sleepy sounds. She had her laptop out, searching for available teaching jobs in the area. The only one seemed to be a college class in a high school not too far from the apartment.

Hange let out a breath, pressing her forehead against the cool glass, wishing she was out in the rain.

"Oi, keep your oily forehead off my window," Levi said from the couch. It was his day off and he, too, had a laptop in front of him on the clear glass coffee table, a steaming cup of black tea beside the slick computer.

With a dejected sigh, she pulled away, throwing herself backwards against the side of the leather couch.

"I think I'll apply for this college class available not too far from here," she informed the charcoal haired man on the couch.

He slapped his laptop shut, turning to face the brunette completely. "Why don't you take up the offers from the science labs? That fucking douche bag is out of the picture now, so do what you want. It's your life."

She grinned, slapping her forehead, "I never even considered that! You know what? I will! Fucking Erwin can't hold me back."

Levi nodded in satisfaction. Hopefully, they'll except her and she can do what she loves without anyone pulling the strings.

Suddenly, the couch shifted, and the presence of the woman was made known when she wrapped her arms around him, tucking her face in the crook of his neck. Her breath tickled his skin as she breathed slowly.

"Thank you, Levi. For everything."

He grunted, gently pushing her away, "Stop thanking me every single fucking day, Shitty Glasses."

She chuckled, pushing her glasses back up to her nose, "Can we go outside?"

Levi narrowed his steel eye, "What? Is your eyesight that bad? It's raining, Four Eyes."

"I can see fine, thank you," she huffed, "and that's the reason I want to go out."

"You'll catch a cold," He deadpanned.

Levi watched as the excitement in her sepia eyes dwindled when he implied a 'no', and he immediately found himself regretting what he said.

"Fine."

Her eyes lit up, "Come with me!" She tugged his hand, forcing him to his feet.

"I said you could, not me!"

Hange rolled her eyes, "Just come with me!"

For whatever reason, Levi let himself be dragged by her. She led him out the door and down the elevator. He watched as she bounced the whole way down, giddy with childish excitement. Would she do this every time it rained? If so, he knew he would find himself dreading the rainy days in the forecast, despite his usual enjoyment from listening to the pattering water drops hitting the ground, calming him.

Once they reached the bottom, she reached for his hand again and forced him out into the wet, muddy weather. Immediately upon stepping outside, he felt the dread of being wet and cold, a feeling he wasn't particularly fond of for more than a couple reasons, but he was content watching as the brunette released his hand, spinning so the water graced her whole body. Her track shorts and white high school tee shirt were now soaked, showing the bright blue sports bra through her top. She didn't seem embarrassed in the least, or she hadn't noticed yet.

Once her hair was soaked and dripping across her face, Hange grabbing Levi, who looked pissed when she tried spinning him around.

"What are you doing?"
