Bunny Suits

"This is stupid."

Levi stood in the center of his living room, glaring through narrowed eyes at Eren. The giant fuzzy rabbit suit he was currently dressed in felt like death. Eren would have been a lot better suited for this, but he'd somehow been talked into enduring this torture instead.

"But you look positively adorable, Levi," Eren cooed. "Besides, you only have to leave it on long enough for pictures."

"Long enough for pictures could be hours, Brat."

"At least try to smile for them."

"Tch."

Eren laughed and turned away.

"Let's go! We're behind schedule because of all your whining. I can't be late to my own Easter cook out."

"Shut up," Levi grumbled, following behind his taller but younger boyfriend begrudgingly. The kid was lucky he loved him or he'd have Levi's foot so far up his ass everyone would be able to see his toes wiggling at the back of Eren's throat.

Levi sulked in the passenger seat on the way to the park where all of Eren's – and now Levi's – friends were waiting. They would all laugh at this stupid costume.

While Levi didn't care if anyone thought he looked stupid – the costume made Eren happy, so it made Levi happy – he also didn't want to sit in a hot fur suit all day and listen to everyone's stupid comments. He already knew he looked dumb. He didn't need everyone else telling him what he already knew.

They finally got to the park and both men stepped out of the car. Everyone they knew and talked to regularly was already there, and it seemed like every little kid they all knew had shown up too. Levi would be in this damn suit all day.

Soon enough, every kid in the park was lined up near a park bench for a picture with the Easter Bunny. With the suits head popped over his own head, Levi slouched and sulked while child after child climbed into his lap while their parents called for them to, "look over here and smile, honey!"

With a quiet "tch" Levi endured.

Finally, more than an hour later, Levi found freedom. He felt like he was dying. Sweat was pouring down his face and back. He panted as he quickly made his way to the bathroom on the other side of the park with his change of clothes. It felt like heaven as he pulled the costume off and felt the air on his skin. He changed out of the sweat soaked shirt and shorts he'd worn underneath and into the fresh, dry button-down and shorts he'd brought with him. He stepped out of the stall and up to the sink to splash cold water onto his still burning skin. That stupid suit was hell.

"Damn brat, with those big shitty eyes.." Levi grumbled halfheartedly.

Now feeling infinitely better and much cooler, he left the bathroom to find Eren and everyone else.

Eren was sitting at a picnic table with bowls of various foods spread along it. Levi saw a million different types of salad and whatever else could fit into a bowl. There were raw steaks and ribs set out on platters, ready to cook, along with a plate piled with hot dogs. As Levi looked along the table, he grew hungry. He was ready to eat.

"Feel better, Levi?" Eren asked him as he leaned over the table, getting utensils and various seasonings together.

"Are you grilling?" Levi asked instead of answering. Eren looked over and gave him a grin.

"Nah, Sasha is. Everyone knows how much she loves food. She wouldn't let anyone else even suggest taking over grilling duties."

Eren chuckled while Levi's lips twitched.

"Tch," he answered.

Levi sat on the picnic table while everyone moved around him. Eren worked on getting all the food ready and organized for when everything was done. Mikasa and Armin hovered around Jean, who was setting up the grill for Sasha, helping when it looked like he needed a hand. Everyone else stood around, drinking their beer and various other beverages. The kids ran around the park, screaming and playing some game or other.

Overall, besides the shitty fur suit, the day was turning out to be a good one. Everyone seemed content.

Eren, finally finished with his organizing, sat with a huff on the table bench beside Levi. He looked over at the older man and smiled his sweet smile.

"Today's turning out pretty okay, isn't it?" Eren asked, echoing Levi's thought.

Instead of answering, Levi reached over and grabbed his boyfriend's hand. Eren smiled wider, squeezing Levi's hand.

As Sasha pulled the three platters from the table and carried them over to the grill with hearts in her eyes and drool down her chin Levi couldn't help but feel fondness for all the people around him.

Yes, today was turning out alright.

"You looked great in that bunny suit!" Jean crowed at Levi as he passed him holding a six-pack of whatever horse piss he liked to drink.

I'm going to kill someone today.

Hey, everyone! Long time no see. Sorry I haven't been around for a while. I just haven't had much inspiration for any stories. But I'm back with a new one! It's a little short, but I'm still happy with it. It's a few days after Easter, but that's not a big deal, right? My family doesn't celebrate it as a religious holiday. More like a national family and food day, which is sort of the vibe I went for here. Anyway, this isn't the only thing I've posted this week. The other day I posted another one-shot. It's Lord of the Rings based, so if you're into LotR, please go check it out!

I'll see y'all next time!
