#gotta be one of my fav genders

[corner-stories]

the tenderness that follows

Armin Arlert. Annie Leonhardt. Beds. Bathtubs. Neck Kisses. Post-Canon. 703 words. (ao3.)

In the midst of the night a bed in Historia’s palace creaks. Annie’s hands plant themselves on Armin’s back, her fingernails digging into his skin as his lips find a spot on her neck, pressing fervent kisses just underneath her ear. Their world is mostly quiet, save for the groans that escape them with every thrust. They yearn for one another through touch, through contact, slowly building a rhythm together until they are both able to reach their peak. 

Then when it’s over Armin rests his face in the crook of her neck, letting out a mix of exhausted pants and humored chuckles, all while Annie enjoys the sensation of his weight on top of her. 

After a moment she shifts, guiding him until he’s on his back so she can rest her head on his shoulder. Their breathing comes down, the mutual tension inside them having finally been released, a layer of sweat present on them both. It feels too early in the night to fall asleep, yet Annie allows herself to close her eyes, reveling in the tenderness that follows and the feeling of Armin’s hand gently rubbing circles on her skin. 

She’s not sure how much time passes until she finds the energy to get up. She pecks Armin’s lips, a gesture that is brief and loving, then leaves his embrace. She brings some of the silk bedding with her, cloaking herself in the material she had been complaining about the second the Ambassadors arrived at the palace. At this point she couldn’t care less about the unfamiliar texture on her skin. She can practically feel Armin’s gaze on her, a presence that lingers as she walks barefoot to the bathroom and begins running a bath. 

…

…

…

Annie sits in a rather large tub. The vessel is roomy yet she has her knees pulled up to her chest, as she doesn’t think she’ll ever get used to taking up so much space. The water is hot and heavenly, the bubbles on top only adding to the sense of luxury already imbued into the atmosphere. The lighting in the bathroom is golden, an aspect that adds to the warmth of the bath in the most delightful way.

But despite being surrounded by utter extravagance, Annie finds that the most soothing thing in her vicinity has less to do with the endless opulence of the space and more to do with Armin.

His hands are gentle as he massages shampoo into her hair, taking extra care to both trust the process and make sure the job gets done. In a lifestyle filled with peace talks, boardroom meetings, and traveling across the globe for said talks and meetings, both he and Annie rarely have the time to unwind — let alone in a bathtub literally built for a queen. 

“Do you think we could do this more often?” Annie asks. In her palm she holds a handful of foam that weighs nothing, playfully blowing on it like a child. 

She watches the bubbles fall back onto the water before hearing Armin chuckle behind her. She feels his lips pressing against her shoulder.

“That depends,” he begins, then another kiss follows, this time closer to her neck. “Are you thinking of dragging a tub this size across the world?” 

As to be expected Annie doesn’t laugh, but she does hum, and over the last few years Armin seems to be catching on to how that’s as close to a laugh as she’ll ever get. Probably. 

“Fair enough.” 

She shifts a bit to help Armin rinse the shampoo out of her hair, letting him scoop up handfuls of water until the strands are free of suds. Once it’s all clean Annie lets out a sigh of relief. She leans back until she meets Armin’s torso, the water moving as she does so. She gets into a position to rest against him, and judging by the additional kiss — this time on her cheek — she guesses that he’s enjoying it too. 

Their lives have been fairly strange lately, but it’s moments like this — pieces of time where they are bathed in the comfort of each other — that make some of the harder spots feel worth it in the end.
