Work Text:
"Oh my goodness, do we really have to do this right now?", Hange says exasperatedly. Which was surprising since they usually didn't talk back to Pieck like that.
"Well if you had told me earlier that they adjusted the time for your stupid event, then we would have been there by now!"
They were on their way to the event at the museum Hange worked in. Hange's boss had told them that the time was adjusted much earlier, and since Pieck was on her afternoon nap, Hange didn't wake her up. Pieck woke up at 6pm, which was much later than usual, and the party was at 6:30, so when Hange told Pieck about it, she got mad and scolded them for a solid two minutes, then proceeded to getting ready.
Hange finished getting ready in a jiffy, but Pieck needed plenty of time to shower, put make-up on and do her hair (Hange didn't need to shower). So when they were on their way, it was around 6:49, and they still needed to walk a couple of blocks and get a taxi. It was a Saturday and it was traffic, so by the time they would have gotten there, they would be tremendously late. On top of that, they decided to argue in the middle of the street. At this point they'd arrive by the time it's almost finished.
"I know, Pieck. And I am so sorry about this. I used to be on time, but with the recent paperwork and chang-"
"And you think that makes it better? I don't believe you! You are always late!"
Hange and Pieck were still in the middle of the street, and Pieck was getting more and more frustrated. Hange was getting worried thinking that Pieck was going to blow up if this kept happening.
"No, Pieck! Look, it's really simple. If we get a taxi now, we'll get there two minutes late, and if we are late it's not that big of a deal."
Pieck wasn't having it. She walked ahead of Hange, going faster which made it difficult for Hange to keep up.
"Pieck I'm sorry! I really am! Please don't be ma-"
The sound of thunder rumbling cut Hange off, and before they knew it, it started raining. They looked around for any sort of shade but there was hardly any around. And since they were in a rush, they forgot their umbrella. This evening couldn't get any worse.
"Are you kidding me?", Pieck attempts to shield herself from the rain using her clutch, but it was no use.
"Out of all the times!", Hange kicks at the ground, causing the rain to splash, losing their cool for a moment.
There was silence between them, they took a deep breath. After a few moment of standing in the pouring rain, they looked at each other. Realizing that this whole thing is so stupid, they start bursting in laughter. They laughed so hard it made their stomachs hurt.
Stopping to catch their breath, they glanced at each other. And after which, Pieck came towards Hange, and pulled them into a kiss. It caught Hange off guard but they immediately kissed her back, caressing her cheek.
They stood like that for a moment. When they broke apart, they giggled again.
"I'm sorry for not telling you much earlier, Pieck. I was just really caught off with my paperwork, and I didn't want to wake you during your nap."
"It's okay, I'm sorry for arguing when we could've just gotten a cab. We probably would've been there by now if it weren't for me."
Hange took Pieck's hand, kissed it and asked, "Wanna head back home and take a warm bath together instead? We're both drenched anyway, and I could just tell my boss that there was an emergency, so I couldn't attend."
"I'd love that."
