The Back Together Meme

[quickied]

the back together meme a smut/intimacy reunion theme

The premise of the meme is simple. Two characters, lovers, have been separated for a time. How long is up to you, as is the reason for the separation. Was it unwilling - an imprisonment, a required journey - or because of a choice one of the characters made? The reason may, of course, color the reunion, and somebody may be pretty miffed, with good reason. Still, the theme is the same: intimacy after being apart. This meme is mostly geared towards being a smut meme, but nobody will judge you for just doing so heavy fluff. Reply with your character and preferences. Reply to others. Assumed CR is probably key here.

[Some part of Petra is somewhat terrified at the prospect of being scrubbed by her neatfreak captain. But the way he's kissing her neck is convincing enough, and she relaxes back against him, eyes sliding shut. Maybe she was feeling a little too relaxed, but she's in a good mood. Who would blame her? It wasn't as if Levi would let her drown, though it might be a little more difficult to get himself clean if she spent her time dozing against him.]

[shortarse]

[ This whole scenario almost seemed too peaceful in comparison to when they had last been intimate. Levi seems quite content to let her doze a little against him, nuzzling at her neck with his mouth once more before reaching for the soap. He rubs the bar in his hands a little, creating a lather before starting to slowly apply it to her arms and the back of her neck, massaging her skin. ]

How were things while I was gone? [ Of course he'd already heard the formal version of things, but this might be his gruff, awkward way of inquiring about her week. ]

[vertrauen]

[Things changed a little when the woman you're with was feeling relaxed and laid back, not angry, drunk and horny. Makes it a little easier to get along.]

Quiet. Hange volunteered Oluo to help her take notes. Eld wants to visit his girlfriend. Gunther's good. [It's a laundry list of the usual goings on, it doesn't take much effort to rattle it all off. Petra's content to let him soap her up, lazily shifting to let him get wherever he wanted, giving a happy little sigh when he rubs over just the right spot on her shoulder, lamost a purr.]

[shortarse]

And what about you? [ He asks, just as he's concentrating on that spot on her shoulder that she seems to be liking so much, giving her almost a miniature massage as he works his hands. While he's doing so, his lips move to her neck again for just a little bit more intimacy, kissing and nibbling her skin. ]

Apart from missing me. [ He was still a shit after all. ]

[vertrauen]

[That little aside gets him a look and a bit of a huff, even as he his fingers keep rubbing her shoulder.]

Shouldn't have told you that.

[Not if he was going to be a prick about it. Petra's determined to not let herself ruin the good evening with her temper. Instead of snapping or turning away from him, she'll instead answer his question.]

I worked with Squad Leader, too. Some of her squad is out sick, she needed some extra help.

[shortarse]

[ He expected that kind of reaction of course. And decides to be blunt with his response. ]

Why? I missed you.

[ With that admittance, he moves his hands a little lower down her back, still lathering her skin in massaging strokes. Muttering his usual disapproval of Hange and whatever it was she was up to, as expected. ] Shitty four eyes.

[vertrauen]

[She softens at that, turning carefully towards him to rest on her side against him. He still gets a sharp pinch on his inner arm for the comment about Hange, though.]

Be nice, Levi.

[Truthfully, Petra didn't really understand Hange's obsession, but trying something new... well, it was better than nothing. She's not terribly interested in focusing on titan experiments right now, though, back arching just so when he rubs over a tight spot. She's less interested in dozing, but he's making her feel lazy, dropping the conversation for a few little grunts and groans.]

[shortarse]

[ Levi makes something of a "tch" noise at that, apparently settling for the "if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all" option. Anyway he's more focused on moving on to another part of her body now... Did her breasts really need that much of a clean though? Doubtful, but he's certainly enjoying lathering them up, massaging them with his fingers, letting his thumbs brush over her nipples. ]

[vertrauen]

[Well, this wasn't exactly what Petra imagined a scrubbing from Levi would be. It hardly counted as washing, really.]

I thought you wanted to clean yourself.

[Not that she minds the attention, but he was the one who'd be stuck with rinsing off in cold water. But if he's wanting to fondle her like this, she's happy to let him. She'll give a contented little sigh, shivering as his thumbs brush over her nipples. Levi always had a good idea of how to touch her, and the warm water is helping her sore muscles quite a bit.]

[shortarse]

[ She should just be grateful that she doesn't actually need that much of a wash... Then it would be a different story. ]

In a minute.

[ Besides, it would be a little awkward to wash himself with her leaning back against him like this and he didn't quite feel like moving her away just yet. Not with all this groping going on. ] You're distracting.

[vertrauen]

[He very definitely wouldn't be getting a second round if that was the case.]

S'not my fault. [After all, Levi had been the one to ask her to join him in the tub to being with, the one who wanted to hold her close. She couldn't help being herself--she could have napped on his bed if he wanted to wash so badly. She shifts to press a soft, quick kiss against his mouth, then pulls away almost reluctantly, sitting across from him in the tub. It's not the best seat, and she has to be careful lest the faucet poke her in the spine, but at least Levi couldn't use her as an excuse.]

Hurry up, or the water will get cold.

[Petra sure as hell isn't going to stay in a cold bath, no matter how much her captain might press.]

lol what are you trying to imply B|

[shortarse]

[ Of course as soon he begins to bathe himself he's meticulous after he's done staring at her tits once more and he uses at least three different soaps in the process. Levi doesn't seem aware that this is in the least bit unusual and is wholly concentrated on his OCD washing almost-ritual until he's satisfied that he's up to his usual level of cleanliness. If anyone thought this was overattentive then they had yet to observe him washing after an expedition outside the walls... ]

Do you need to be anywhere after this? [ The questions comes just as he finishes washing. She didn't need to be in any official capacity that he was aware of, but then she might not want to stay long as was usually the case. ]

:3c

[vertrauen]

[It doesn't take much effort for Petra to rinse off, and she doesn't consider herself dirty at all. Nothing at least that a quick dip in the water couldn't solve. Watching him clean himself is a little frighting in its own way... thankfully, it wasn't her getting scrubbed. Jeez.

She almost expects his question; it isn't the first time he's asked.]

I should return the tea set to the kitchen, but I haven't been assigned to watch or anything.

[There was of course most likely going to be drill in the morning, and Levi hadn't been there to supervise them in a week. Petra didn't think it'd be an easy morning, but she's still in a good mood. She might be willing to stay a little bit longer with the proper convincing.]

[shortarse]

Then you can stay a while. [ And so would begin the ever familiar dance around of how long Petra would stay in his quarters. Although as usual the offer would be extended but Levi wouldn't press it.

Once he's sure they're both done and the water temperature was beginning to dip to the point where it would no longer be pleasant in a short while, he gets to his feet to get out of the tub. He retrieves one for himself and another for her, which he holds out for her to take as soon as she follows him. ]

[vertrauen]

[She nods at that, acknowledging the offer, though not quite accepting it. Petra's in a good mood, but staying for very long was pushing the limits on what they were supposed to be. It wasn't as if there was a relationship between them, and Petra's wary of acting like there was something beyond what they did have.

Petra doesn't linger in the tub, waiting for Levi to step out of the tub before rising up herself. While he fetches the towels, she wrings the tips of her hair out, letting the water drip back into the tub before accepting the towel with a quiet thank you and carefully stepping out herself. With her hair mostly dry, it doesn't take long for her to dry herself, and if Levi doesn't stop her, the first thing she'll do when she's properly dried off is the leave the bathroom and track down her discarded clothes. It was too chilly to just hang about in the nude.]

[shortarse]

[ Of course he would have liked her to stay naked just a little longer, but he doesn't say as such. He probably didn't need to, she knew him well enough in that regard by now. Levi doesn't stop her, focused instead on drying himself off and then fetching clean underwear and a shirt. It wasn't that late in the evening but there seemed little point in redressing when he had nowhere to be this evening and when he felt like just relaxing for the rest of it.

After tidying away his discarded clothes from earlier, he sits on the edge of the bed to watch Petra. She hadn't outright accepted his offer as usual and so he would just observe, obviously expecting her to leave but seeming not bothered never the less. ]

[vertrauen]

[She's in no hurry to get dressed, honestly. Once her pants and shirt are on, she doesn't bother buttoning her shirt or finish doing up her fly, taking a moment to pour the last dregs of tea into his cup. She takes a sip from the cup and makes a face at the temperature, the tea long since having lost its heat.]

Do you want me to bring you another pot, or are you going to bed?

[She's well aware of the fact that he's watching her, but it makes her feel a little shy, a little obtrusive.]

[shortarse]

Bed probably. [ Is his reply as he gets to his feet and moves to slide an arm around her waist, pulling her gently but firmly towards him and said bed once he'd taken the tea cup from her and set it down again. She smells good, not that she didn't always but especially so after that bath. Whether she wanted to stay for much longer or not, Levi at least wanted to hold her for a bit. ]

[vertrauen]

[Mmm, body odors. She's pliant in his arms, laughing as she feels his fingers move across her waist. It tickles, and she only has one assumption as he moves her back to his bed.]

You want it again?

[Well, she's never really stayed to cuddle before, so the thought that he might just want to hold her doesn't occur to her. But she's not struggling or making a fuss, shifting to kiss his cheek.]

[shortarse]

[ Yep, yum. Well, he wouldn't exactly say no to more sex if that was really offered to him, of course, but that wasn't his intention. ] Not exactly.

[ When he tugs her back down with him it would be easy enough to assume another round was what he was after, what with the slightly predatory way that he does things. But in the end all he does is pull her close, encouraging her to rest her head on his torso as his wiry muscled arms embrace her. It wasn't exactly the norm of Captain Levi to want to cuddle, but there it was. If it was crossing another boundary then so be it, Petra was soft and warm and smelled good. ]

[vertrauen]

[It's a strange behavior, and honestly, Petra doesn't know what to make of it. There's even a bit of pink on her cheeks as she settles beside him, resting her head on his shoulder, laying a hand on his chest. This was exactly the kind of thing she had avoided all of her life, choosing to bail on her partner rather than get involved with anything besides immediate release. She can't hide the slight stiffness in her shoulders, not entirely certain what to do next.]

Weirdo...

[It was entirely too comfortable, and that was sending warning bells off in her head.]

[shortarse]

Apparently you don't mind weirdos.

[ She did keep coming back after all. Observant as he is he doesn't fail to notice her pink cheeks or the stiffness in her shoulders. Levi, on the other hand, was as calm as ever, acting like this was the most natural thing in the world as he rubs her shoulders and back a little as he holds her. ]

[vertrauen]

[She did keep coming back, and though she tried to justify it by being sex and sex only, there was more to it. Though things had kept growing in an almost natural progression, Petra had done her best to control it. Levi wasn't helping things any, and Petra knows that she should be getting up and leaving before it goes any further.]

I'm going to fall asleep if you do that.

[Her mild complaint is her only attempt at defense, curling in just a little closer to him.]

[shortarse]

So?

[ His lack of concern over that is all too obvious and Petra's lack of protest and her moving closer to him only encourages him to keep doing what he's doing. Levi presses a kiss to the top of her head. He wouldn't stop her if she really wanted to get up and leave. ]

[vertrauen]

[She should get up and leave. That'd be the proper thing to do when your superior officer was cuddling you when you were both obviously underdressed. But she she only moves to lightly swat at his chest, a little scowl on her face.]

Don't let me fall asleep.
