Day 2 Domestic
Please enjoy this little slice of life domestic fluff.
When law professor Erwin Smith decided to take a sabbatical to work on his book his loving husband supported him as long as he didn't get lazy and make a mess of their house. So far so good. Erwin kept his notes, drafts, and over all mess confined to his study and Levi agreed not to go into the study. On this day Erwin took a break from his work to play the role of house husband. He found it surprisingly calming to complete the domestic tasks. It was also where he came up with some of his best ideas. He could see why his lover enjoyed it so much.
The tall blonde felt extra domestic that day so he took the brightly colored, flowery, ruffled apron, with an elegantly embroidered 'Erwin' on the front, off of its hook and tied it around his waist. The spoof matching wedding presents Hange gave them came in handy on more than one occasion. Levi's matching apron hung clean and crisp ready for use on its hook. Apron securely tied he went about his work. One task went to another as Erwin tried to clean to his husband's meticulous standards. He was washing dishes when he heard the front door open. Erwin looked at the clock. He's early. He heard Levi drop his keys in the candy dish they used for that purpose.
"Welcome home," Erwin called over his shoulder. He was up to his forearms in soapy water. They had a dishwasher but Levi refused to use it unless absolutely necessary. Erwin felt slender hands slide around his waist meeting just above the apron.
"How was work?" Erwin felt a kiss at the base of his neck.
"They're all idiots," his husband mumbled against the back of his shirt. Erwin smiled looking down at the hands around his waist. The simple gold band sparkled on Levi's pale finger. Erwin chuckled. He rinsed off the soapy water before drying his hands on his apron then turned around in his man's arms. Levi released his husband's waist and placed them on the counter.
"I feel like you should be bringing me my slippers and a martini." Levi took a step back to appreciate the happy homemaker. When Erwin got dressed that morning he anticipated taking his laptop and doing a little work at a picnic table in the park so he donned one of his crisp white shirts and a pair of dark denim jeans but got sidetracked with housework. He still didn't think he compared to the handsome man standing before him. Levi still wore his sharp navy blue suit minus the jacket that had been tailored for him. His shirt was also a pristine white. His tie was slightly askew from where he probably loosened it the moment he walked in the door. The sleek navy pants looked just as nice as when they picked them up from the dry cleaners and his black loafers shined like new. The image of them both gave Erwin an idea.
He took his husband by the hand and led him back to the living room. Levi quirked his eyebrow but followed his house husband to the other room. Erwin deposited him on the couch and walked over to the mini-bar. They didn't have everything for a martini so he made him a whisky and coke instead. The business man draped his arms over the back of the couch cushions. His smoky gray gaze trailing over his husband's broad shoulders falling onto the bow that fell on the curve of Erwin's bottom. The bright colors of the apron against the dark denim seemed to accentuate the beauty of his husband's lower half.
Erwin brought the drink over to his hard working man, giving him a kiss before handing him the glass. The ice clinked as Levi brought the drink to his smirking lips. Levi liked to talk a lot of shit but he didn't expect Erwin to actually do it. His eyes never left his husband as he walked out of the living room to go down the hall to their bedroom. A few moments later Erwin returned with Levi's comfiest house shoes. Without a word he knelt before his husband untying the Italian leather loafers. Erwin's great hands massaged the balls of his lover's feet. Levi threw his head back closing his eyes.
"I could get used to this," he said. He felt his slippers slide on his feet. Levi opened his eyes as his husband rose to his feet. Erwin picked up the remote control and put it on Levi's lap.
"Dinner will be ready shortly, dear" Erwin said. He planted a sweet kiss on his husband's lips. The smile on Levi's face stayed long after Erwin went back into the kitchen.
