The Ereri Project!

Dark

"Why are you making me watch you play this?"

"Cause I really don't wanna play it alone."

Levi sighs, getting comfortable. "What's this called again?"

"Amnesia," Eren replies, getting his laptop table comfortable on his lap.

"Sounds harmless enough," Levi says.

"So does Silent Hill but you can't play that either."

He loads up the game and when the title screen comes up Levi already wants to leave the room. "That's not ominous at all," Levi says.

Eren chuckles as he presses the start button. The listen to the opening cutscene and Eren starts to play.

Not five minutes in, Levi is already trying to hide behind Eren's arm. "Really?" Eren asks.

"Shut up, you know I don't like this kind of thing."

"Literally nothing has happened yet."

"But something will happen eventually." Eren continues to play without comment and Levi rests a hand on the brunette's arm. "It's too dark."

"That's the point."

Levi frowns. "Why would you follow the blood? Doesn't that mean you're going to find something dead at the end?"

"Not necessarily. Oh look, there's a letter or something."

"Why would blood lead to a fucking note?"

"Because we need to know that we have to kill Alexander and there's a shadow following us."

Levi frowns. "Oh no, don't go into the door behind the creepy bookcase."

"I have to."

"No you don-"

"Shh, there's more dialogue."

Levi frowns again, and frowns harder at the sound of screaming after Eren has control again. "I don't like the noises in here," he mutters.

"It's just a game Levi."

Levi whines, watching just over Eren's shoulder. "Oh no, it sounds like there something else in there with you."

"Shh, Levi." Levi holds Eren's arm a little harder. "It sounded like it was above us anyway."

Eren keeps going, trying to figure out where to go.

"The darkness is closing in..." Says a voice in the game.

"Eren, turn this shit off right now."

"Nope."

There's more weird noises in the game and Levi considers just getting up and hiding in bed but he'd much rather Eren come with him so he stays right where he is while Eren charges forward.

"Eren~" Levi whines as there are more noises like something is moving besides the player character.

"It's fine, Levi."

Levi pulls his legs up on the couch and holds onto Eren. They walk into a room and a book falls off a shelf and a piano begins to play.

Levi whines again, rubbing his face on Eren's shoulder. He freezes when they're a gross noise. "Eren?"

"Yes?"

"What was that?"

It's only now Levi notices Eren's afraid too. "I don't know."

Eren walks down a hallway and his hard jerks off his mouse when there's a loud noise like a rockslide.

"I don't wanna walk toward the light," he mutters when he has to play again.

"Do it," Levi mumbles against his shoulder.

"You're more scared than I am!"

"Do it!"

"I am!"

Neither of them know why they're still sitting here. Eren continues playing, leaning into Levi a bit.

After opening another passageway, there's a banging sound. "Find somewhere to hide!" Levi shouts.

"Are you sure something's following us?"

"It sounds like it, I dunno!"

"I'm gonna keep going."

There's a growling noise.

"Eren~"

"I'm running!"

"Eren!"

Eren opens a door and the monster is on the other side. They both scream and Eren slams his laptop shut. They pant and stare at the computer in silence.

"You are never playing that again," Levi growls.

"Yes sir."
