October 14th; My love

(I'll let you know when to play the song)

~~~

Hmm... Quiet.

Warm.

Erwin smiles.

Comfortable.

He rolls over and stretches.

Serene..

Erwin rubs his eyes and yawns, small beads of tears forming at the corners of his eyes. The sun is shining in through the blinds, heating his face as the air from the window rustles his curtains. It smells of morning rain and soft breezes. It's calm. He gets up and pulls on the knobs of his dresser, removing a pair of white pants and a shirt before undressing himself and changing into his everyday uniform. Erwin padded into the bathroom to comb his messy hair and brush his teeth.

The quiet opening and closing of a door alerts Erwin someone is there but he is soon relieved to see it is only Levi. Rinsing his mouth with water, he puts his toothbrush away and greets the Captain.

"Morning Levi~" Erwin walks up to the male to greet him. As Levi gets closer, he snakes his arms around the blonds waist and held him tight which surprised Erwin, nevertheless hugging Levi back.

"Hey.. What's the occasion?" He threads his fingers through the mans soft hair before he speaks. "I don't need an occasion.. But in case you do, it's your birthday." Levi pulls back to look up with his soft grey eyes, thinking for a split second how beautifully handsome Erwin was. Despite the fact he was leaning into his late thirties now, he still looked as young as ever which was strange, considering the stress he's gone through as a commander. Reaching to comb back a loose strand of blond hair, Levi sighed quietly.

Oh, how he loved Erwin.

"It appears to be so" Erwin gingerly wrapped his fingers around Levi's hand before tugging it towards his face and pressing his soft lips against it. "I'm old.." He mumbled, the edge of his mouth turning up in a smile.

"I would say me too, but I've still got a few years.." Levi's eyes studied Erwins, getting a bit lost before lowering to his lips, neck, chest...

"Lets go to the poppy field," Levi dragged a finger over the buttons of Erwin's shirt, his other hand holding the small of his back where it dipped in his spine. "For a date."

"A date?" Erwin echoed, leaning into Levi's touch.

"Yes. We'll have a picnic during lunch."

"How romantic."

After a few minutes of nothing but enjoying each other's presence and soft touches, they made their way to the mess hall for breakfast. Hanji, Moblit, Mike and Nanaba were seated at a table, awaiting the last couple to arrive.

"Happy birthday, Commander Handsome!" Nanaba cheered, smiling her signature smile as well as the rest upon seeing Erwin. He and Levi sat down, noticing their plates where already there.
"Thank you, Nanaba." Erwin smiled. They got themselves situated before eating their bread, Nanaba speaking up.

"Hanji and I have a party planned at ten. We wanted to do it early, so you and Levi can have the rest of the day to yourselves." Hanji nodded in agreement to her statement. "Are you up for it?"

Erwin glanced to Levi and finished his bite. "It would only make sense I agree. Levi?" He looked to the ravenette who hummed in amusement.
