"Well this sucks."

Eren chuckles at Levi. It does suck a little bit.

One of their neighbors was having a party last night, so Levi's car is parked on the far side of their apartment's parking lot.

Levi silently reminds himself to complain to the landlord about not assigning parking spaces by room because it's raining and neither he nor Eren have an umbrella.

"Should we just go back upstairs?" Levi asks.

Eren shakes his head. "It's just a little water," he replies. "Plus, we're only going to Erwin's house. He can give us towels when we get there."

"So we'll run then?"

Eren nods.

"On the count of three," Levi says. "One... two..."

Eren runs with Levi... at first.

Then he gets an idea. When they're only halfway to the car, Eren grabs Levi's arm and they stop. "What the hell? It's pouring! We're gonna be soa-"

Eren smashes his mouth onto Levi, half grinning into the kiss. "We've never kissed in the rain before," Eren says when he pulls away.

Levi wants to be mad but, frankly, he's embarrassed and a little caught off guard. He shakes his head.

"Why do you always have to do such cute bullshit?" Eren shrugs and pulls Levi over into a dancing position. Levi levels a glare at him. "What're you doing now?"

"We're already soaked," Eren says. "So dance with me."

Levi wants to punch him. "There's not even any music."

Eren starts humming and it takes Levi a minute to realize what song it is. He chuckles and can't help but sing along.

"And I knew it from the start, so my arms are open wide. Your head is on my stomach and we're, we're trying not to fall asleep. So here we are, on this eighteenth floor balcony, we're both flying away."

Levi glances absently at his wedding ring.

Of course Eren would do something this cheesy.

But resigned as he is to his husband's many whims, he leans on Eren and lets the younger man drag him around the parking lot until the song's over.

"Why are you two this wet?" Erwin asks when they finally get to his house.

Eren chuckles sheepishly and Levi just shakes his head. "You're better off not knowing," Levi replies.
