The Lonely

Fugue

Hello you lovely people. It's Levi here. Thank you so much for reading my new fanfic!!! It means a lot to me. The main reason I made this fic was because of my experience in orchestra and because of how funny it would be to make Levi and Eren the star-crossed lovers of their orchestra. Please enjoy this chapter!!!

Eren's Point of View
--------------
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Levi, the guy who I love, asked me on a date!!!! Yeah! Take that, all you guys who said I wasn't good enough! After he dropped me off at my house, I got his number for our date. He was blushing like mad, it was really great to see. Who would've thought that someone as ordinary as me would go on a date with THE Levi Ackerman? He is so beautiful.

We've gone to the same school now for a couple of years. He's a senior and I'm a junior in high school. Levi's never been short of having admirers. It seems like every day he was getting confessed to, not just by girls might I add. While he doesn't like to admit it, Levi is the most popular guy in school. Everyone knows his name, his face, and his reputation. Boy does he deserve it too. His beautiful face is a killer. Many of the people who confess to him believe they were "meant to be" and that "if Levi just gave me a chance, he would know what true love is!" Pssh, give me a break. I'm pretty sure he knows what true love. All of us as little kids hope and pray that we'll find our true love. It's more the matter of if he has found it.

I like to believe that Levi is my true love. However, I'm not sure he believes the same thing. Which is okay with me. It was practically love at first sight, for me anyways. When someone is so vulnerable like that and opens their heart up to you, how can you not fall in love? I never pushed him with my feelings. I kept them locked up, far away from the public eye. My best friend Armin and Mikasa knew about my feelings and they kept it a secret for me; bless their souls.

Oh shit, class is starting. It's time for orchestra. I am so nervous to face Levi. When I got home last night, I immediately told Armin and Mikasa what happened. They were really thrilled for me. I see Mikasa looking at me from the 2nd violins section. Armin is shooting me a look from the viola section too. They both sit first chair with Levi and I in the first row. I tune my cello and try not to panic. This is going to be like any other day in orchestra. I'm going to watch Levi whenever he's not looking and play when I'm supposed to. Yeah, I can do this.

"God fucking dammit," Hisses Levi from the other side of the orchestra. "Are you absolutely fucking kidding me? This is the third time this week, you stupid fucking instrument." He starts to pluck his strings and we all know: his pegs have slipped. The first row starts laughing hysterically, mainly because of Levi's reaction to his strings slipping. I understand where he's coming from though. While it's not the end of the world for your pegs to slip, IT'S STILL REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING TO FIX.

"Here, Levi, let's go to a practice room and tune it!" I offer, setting down my cello and reaching for my tuner in my bag. He nods and follows me to the back. I hold the door open for him and he stalks past me to one of the practice rooms. I follow him and I shut the door. As soon as I am in the practice room, Levi slowly puts down his violin and then pushes me against the door in a giant bear hug. His face is pressed against my chest and I couldn't be happier. He is so cute, I don't know how to cope with all this cuteness at once.

"Eren, can we just stay like this?" The mumbles come from the small man attached to my chest. I smile at him, and wrap my arms around his small waist, thank God for my height. I press my face into his silky, black hair. His hair smells amazing. I close my eyes and we stay like that for awhile. Levi sighs happily before leaning harder into me. I fall to the floor and drag Levi onto my lap. He stays on my lap with his arms wrapped around my neck and his legs wrapped around my waist. I hug him tightly to me and I sit there happily.

"Should we actually tune your violin?" I ask into Levi's hair. He sighs but nods and begins to get up. I stop him and grab his violin and begin to tune it myself, letting him stay in his same position. The look he gives me is shocking. His usually dead eyes are full of love and adoration. I kiss his nose and turn back to the instrument.

Violins are so tiny, how do you not break them? I growl slightly when attempting to tune the E string as it had just slipped after I got it and the A string perfectly in tune. Thankfully Levi's pegs are easy to maneuver so I'm not having to fight with the pegs slipping or even worse, not moving at all. Levi chuckles into my shoulder and his arms tighten around my neck. I move my face so I can kiss his neck before turning back to tune the instrument. Seriously though, violins are really tiny. I understand how Levi can play it since he is a small person, but a majority of violinists are tall which I do not understand at all. The same phenomena happens with cellists and bassists; a majority of them are shorter. Hell, I'm the tallest cellist in my orchestra and youth symphony. My stand partner in orchestra is almost a foot shorter than I. It's one of those mysteries that will forever piss me off.

"Hey Eren," I keep concentrating on the instrument but I hum in response so he knows I have acknowledge him. "For our date, how does coffee and then a movie sound?" I stop moving the D peg and push Levi back slightly so I can look at him straight in the eye.

"That sounds absolutely amazing!" I kiss his cheek and smile widely at him. His cheeks turn pink and he hides back in my shoulder. I check my phone to see how much time we have left before class and school ends. It's 3:00, we only have ten minutes left. I hurry to tune Levi's violin so all the strings are perfect before handing it back to him. He looks at me accusingly before checking the strings himself.

"How the hell did you tune my violin without a tuner?!" His grey eyes widen in shock. I shrug at him.

"Perfect pitch," I state simply. "I just really don't like to brag about it." He nods his head with his eyes still wide open. We head back into orchestra and everyone turns to look at us. Armin is giving me a smirk and so is Mikasa. I have the best of friends but I would be up for punching them right now. I hurry to my cello and begin to pack up alongside everyone else.

"So Eren, how was it with Levi?" Mikasa asks while cocking her eyebrows at me, smirking at me. Armin stands next to her with his arm around her shoulders with the same smirk. I blush hard and start to walk hurriedly over to Levi's. "Just don't get too many hickeys! And be back home before 2 am!" Fuck you, Mikasa. Levi chuckles and grabs my hand. I make sure I have my bag and I walk off with Levi to his car.

"I'll try not to give him too many!" Levi yells back to Mikasa. Fuck you too, Levi.
