A Fanboy And A Dollar (Ereri)

Chapter 13

Eren's P.O.V:

The venue that Levi was going to perform at was packed tight full of people. Levi mentioned that he might bring me into the performance. I politely rejected, but the narrowing of his eyes told me otherwise.

Arthur said he'd stay at the hotel, but he ended up tagging along after I begged for him to come along. He told me that there was a good reason he wanted to stay, rather than being lazy. I assumed it had something to do with the past the two shared.

All the bands from before were in a room. Levi named all of them for me since I forgot. (Band name edit) There was Words of the Mindless, The Trio, and Murder Therapy. Mikasa sat next to me, too intimidated to speak to Dustin or Oliver. Xavier was nowhere to be seen.

My hands were trembling. I tried hiding that, but someone from Murder Therapy noticed. "Hey Eren dude, you alright?"

I nodded and shoved my hands into my pockets. The man, whose name was Zeke, scrunched his eyebrows together, as if skeptical, but didn't say anything. One of his fellow band members, Garret, wrapped an arm around his neck and mussed his hair with his free fist. Zeke cried out in protest, but it was too late. His careful combing had gone to waste.

The shaking of my hands subsided just a little bit, and I grinned at the sight before me. Zeke got revenge by tripping Garret and making him fall into Oliver. They both started yelling at each other and wrestled on the floor. Levi strolled in through the door. His face scrunched up in disgust as Oliver started to throw food at Garret, who had Zeke in a playful headlock. Dustin was watching with an amused expression.

The door Levi came through suddenly opened again and all of Words of the Mindless entered. The man I guessed was Rodge gave a toothy grin when he saw all the excitement, but didn't join into the rough-housing happening on the floor.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned around to see Levi. "You seem uneasy," he observed.

"Maybe a little bit. It's not everyday you suddenly get this opportunity," I said honestly. Levi smirked and the warmth of his hand disappeared from my shoulder as he walked towards the other empty seat beside me.

"You are officially the biggest piece of shit on planet-fucking-Earth!" Zeke yelled, pushing away Garret. Garret laughed before wrapping his arms around the younger male from behind.

"I love you too!" he giggled. Zeke struggled in his arms, mumbling incoherent curses as he flailed around before stopping. "Tell me you love me," Garret said in a teasing manner. Zeke stuck out his tongue after wrestling his way out of Garret's arms.

"I'll never say it."

"Tell me you love me."

"Never."

Ravyn, the lead singer of Murder Therapy, split the two up as they started fist-fighting. "You guys don't want us getting kicked out again, do you?" he yelled. They ignored his warning and started punching at each other again. I turned towards Levi.

"Are those two a...thing?"

He looked at me funny before bursting out into laughter. A few people stared at us, making me go red. It took him a while to calm down before he answered me. "No, Eren. They're just really close."

"Oh." My face burned in embarrassment. "Sorry."

Levi leaned back against his chair. "Don't worry. You aren't the first to ask that." I wanted to question what he meant by that, but remained silent.

A man came into the room a few minutes later and all of Words of the Mindless disappeared along with a few others. I was anxious and couldn't stop fidgeting. Levi would rub my shoulder whenever he noticed.
