Work Text:
Levi was getting tired of Hange refusing to shower. Who wouldn’t? They’d kept telling him they were too busy for that and he’d let it slide.
It wasn’t like he hadn't had to force them to shower before, but he always gave them one day of grace beforehand. He wasn’t sure why though. Maybe he wanted to hope that they’d finally shower without being forced to do so. It didn’t matter.
“Hange, I’m done waiting. You’re showering.” Levi said, grabbing Hange on the arm.
“Fine, just lemme finish this!” Hange bargained.
“Nope. You’re going. Now.” He demanded.
He didn’t care what they were doing. Whatever they were doing was preventing them from showering and that was most important (to Levi of course).
Hange gave up on trying to finish what they were doing. They were secretly trying to make some tea for Levi. Hange knew how Levi liked tea and they were trying to make a different flavor of tea.
Unfortunately being grabbed while holding a testing teacup caused Hange to spill it not only on themself but on Levi as well.
Levi rolled his eyes and picked up the somehow still intact cup. “Whatever. I was probably going to get dirty anyway.” He said before dragging Hange to the bathroom to shower.
Levi started up the shower and started to undress Hange (because for some reason Hange didn’t think to do it themself. It didn’t matter anyways though, this was just the price of dating a clean freak).
Levi took Hange by surprise when he started to undress himself. He gave them a stern look. “You got me dirty and now I have to shower too.”
Hange nodded. They didn’t think they’d ever see the day Levi would willingly shower with them. He always complained that they didn’t even know how to properly bathe themself let alone another person.
Hange always liked when Levi pretty much force bathed them. Simply because he always got so gentle with them. Not that he wasn’t gentle in other circumstances, but it felt like he was treating them like a delicate flower that would easily snap if treated too harshly.
Hange was completely fine with the fact that he didn’t treat them like that all the time. They admitted it would be suffocating to be treated like that all the time. Once in a while though, it felt special.
Levi stepped into the shower first and reached his hand out for Hange. They took his hand and joined him in the lukewarm water.
Levi wasted no time and immediately went straight to preparing Hange’s hair for shampoo.
It was odd. Despite Levi bathing Hange almost constantly this was different. It was a nice difference. Usually Levi would stand outside of the shower and bathe Hange like that. This time though they’re closer and it feels nicer.
When Levi moved to shampoo, Hange decided they wanted to return the favor. “You’re next.” They said with a smirk.
Levi’s face scrunched up. “Absolutely not. I’m not letting you wash me.” He said, massaging Hange’s scalp.
Hange pouted. “Why not?”
Levi put more shampoo on his hands and started lathering his own hair. “I’ve said it once before. If you don’t know how to properly bathe yourself, how can you bathe another person?”
“Please? Just a little?”
Levi scoffed and averted his eyes. “If you get shampoo in my eye, you’re done.”
Hange silently celebrated before massaging Levi’s scalp as he did them.
To Levi’s surprise Hange did a pretty good job. After their shower and they both were in clean clothes Hange asked, “how good was I on a scale from 1-10?”
Levi took a sip of his tea that Hange had given to him almost as soon as they exited the shower. “Hm, I’d say five.”
Hange’s eyes widened in excitement. “Would you let me do it again?”
Levi hid his smile behind his teacup. “Possibly.”
Hange smiled. “Wow, I believe the Levi has finally lost it. Giving in and finally letting me do the unthinkable! Yep, you’ve lost it.”
Before Levi could respond he heard snickers from behind the door. He knew exactly who it was. “Leave us alone, brats! We weren’t talking about what you think we were!”
The sound of many feet scurrying away came from the other side of the door. Hange let out a hearty laugh. “They definitely don’t care. They totally thought I pe-“
Levi threw a pillow from his chair at Hange’s head. Hitting them in the face. “Shut up.”
“You love me~” Hange sang.
Levi smiled a little. “Yeah.”
Hange laughed again. “You HAVE lost your edge! You said it!”
Levi dragged a hand down his face. “You’re insufferable.”
Hange shook their head and wagged their finger in front of them. “Uh-uh you said you loved me.”
Levi stood in front of Hange and bent down, placing a kiss on their forehead. “Fine. I love you.”
Hange smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. “I love you too.”
