[Levi flicks his eyes up to Erwin's, turning full toward him and discovering that his free hand has wound in Erwin's coat as he steps closer.]

Yeah. I know.

[fuck. Fuck no they've done this once and they can't do this here or ever again but all he really fucking wants to do is drag Erwin down and lock their lips together and shove his tongue into his mouth--

...fuck.]

[corps]

[ His hand moves to cover Levi's--small, warm, with a steady grip--and remove it gently from his coat. He hopes that is discouragement enough for both of them. There was an understanding after what had occurred earlier in the week: it won't happen again.

Erwin recalls being much more certain of that just a few minutes ago. ]

[reviling]

[at least one of them has sense (and for once, it's Erwin). Levi pulls his hand back, wraps it firmly around the cup of hot chocolate and forces himself to turn away, taking a longer drink than strictly necessary.

Which, really, probably wasn't the best idea.]

[corps]

[ WOW Levi, Erwin is frequently the one with sense tyvm!!

Now that they are out of immediate danger of engaging in gratuitous public displays of affection, they can continue walking. There's a booth of sweets next, none of which Erwin feels particularly inclined to try. They don't have much access to sweet things at home, and he's found that his palate doesn't suit what are typically touted as candies and desserts here. But they are, at least, interesting to look at as he drinks down his hot chocolate, far more hot than chocolate.

He wonders just how much longer he'll be able to remain in Levi's presence this evening if his thoughts keep wandering as they are, gaze tracing the curve of Levi's neck where he had kissed only a few nights past. ]

[ nope not when it comes to him, Erwin, DON'T THINK SO

Levi's had his fill of food and trying sweets and such things. He's not terribly hungry, but the hot chocolate helps against the chill. It's not as cloying as some things he's tried that day, and the spice leaves a nice tingling in his mouth.

He can feel Erwin's eyes on him, and it's incredibly difficult to not just turn around, grab him, pull him close for a kiss while undoing buttons and slipping his hands in against warm skin--

...fuck.

Levi stops suddenly, now at the edge of the festival with a few lanterns in the distance - lighting doors of conveniently placed cabins (had those been there before?)...

He closes his eyes and hopes this impulse will pass.]

[corps]

[ Levi stops walking without warning, and Erwin nearly bumps into him, catching himself just before he does. There isn't anything to see beyond here but for those cabins. He isn't planning on staying in one, so they don't hold his interest for long.

In fact, nothing but Levi has been able to hold his interest for the last several minutes. It's even more difficult to keep his thoughts in line now that they are more secluded. Where had this come from? He's been able to keep these urges with regards to Levi well under control since Wednesday. So why does he now feel on the verge of losing control? ]

Let's go back, Levi.

[ He tries to keep his voice steady, like he isn't making a desperate effort to stop himself from reaching out for Levi here and now. Perhaps being back among the crowd will help to curb the desire to put his hands on Levi's hips and lean down to kiss the back of his neck. ]

[reviling]

Levi ignores him, starting forward again toward the cabins. He shouldn't, shouldn't go farther in, but the urge to pull Erwin down and kiss the breath from him is nearly overwhelming.

It shouldn't be. He's not had this much trouble with these thoughts since that night, even if he thinks about it more often. With every other time they've been together, even if it's harder to not notice the movement of his fingers, the nape of his neck, he's never acted on any of the those thoughts.

Now, though, all he wants to feel is the warmth of his skin beneath his palms.

Levi walks up to a cabin, bypassing the first two and the ones without obvious lights already on inside. He pulls open the door of one, finally, and waits for Erwin to follow.]

[corps]

[ He shouldn't follow Levi. It's a terrible idea, when he knows what will happen the moment that door closes behind them. But Levi clearly isn't opposed to it. He's waiting for Erwin to join him, expectant, even though Erwin hasn't moved. Levi wants this, whatever it is, and far be it from Erwin to deny him. Being with Levi again is also what he wants--what he needs.

But this time will have to be the last. After years of self-denial, they should both have more control than this.

He walks forward at last, choice made. Perhaps it's too bold of him, but when he reaches Levi at the door he doesn't immediately step inside. Instead he bends enough to kiss him firmly, laying his hand atop Levi's on the door handle. And as if this simple action has broken whatever restraint he's been maintaining, it takes a great deal more willpower now not to back Levi against that door and kiss him more roughly, despite the chance that they could be seen. ]

[reviling]

Fuck-

[he pulls away, stepping more into the cabin and dragging Erwin with him (with the hand wound tightly in his jacket-when had that happened?). He slams the door shut, locks it, and pushes Erwin up against it with both palms firmly on his chest.]

Don't do that where someone could see, idiot.

[Levi doesn't give Erwin any time to reply or be remorseful (if indeed he felt remorse for it, which could be debatable at this point). Instead he fists his hands hard in his shirt and pulls him down, slamming their lips together and kissing him fiercely. Hopefully now, after this, it will take the edge off the urge. If they just keep kissing for a while, it'll go away.

Maybe.]
