The Ereri Project!

Comics (Nerd)

There are perks to owning a comic book store, Levi got to meet Stan Lee once because he hosted a signing.

But.

More important perk to him was that his store is where he met is boyfriend of two years, Eren.

The very same boyfriend who is standing in the store right now, trying to argue with him.

"I'm just saying, there are a lot of cool DC heroes besides Batman or Superman so it sucks that they get all the attention," Eren says, looking through the box of comics on the table.

"Name five," Levi says, an amused hint to his tone as he leans on the counter.

"Jon Stewart Green Lantern, The Flash, Wonder Woman-"

"Seriously?"

"What?"

"Wonder Woman? Really?"

"What? I think she's really cool."

"She started as the secretary for the Justice League."

"So? She's come a long way since then. I think her most recent run one is the best one yet."

Levi rolls his eyes. "Continue."

"Batgirl-"

"Which one?"

"As a fleshed out character, Barbara Gordon because she becomes Oracle which is really cool but Cassandra Cain looks the coolest."

"Okay, one more," Levi says. "And if you say Aquaman I'm kicking you out."

"I wasn't going to," Eren says, sticking out his tongue. "And for the record, the version of Aquaman from the Justice League cartoon is kickass."

"Oh my god, you have such bad taste," Levi whines.

"Shut up, hook hands are cool!"

"For pirates maybe."

"He lived in the ocean!"

"Whatever, just name one more hero so I can tell you how wrong you are."

"Nightwing."

"You would like Nightwing and Batgirl but not Batman."

"What?"

Levi shakes his head. "Anyway, the more pressing question is which Robin you think should take over for Batman."

"Dick Grayson, obviously."

"How? Damien is his actual son."

"Did you even read the comics? Dick Grayson was actually Batman for a while when Bruce was dead and Damien was his Robin."

"What about Tim Drake then?"

"What about him?"

"Dick Grayson is already Nightwing, right, he can keep being Nightwing so Tim can take over as Batman."

Eren facepalms. "That's the actual stupidest thing I've ever heard."

Levi makes a face and pulls on Eren's collar so he runs into the counter and bends over.

Levi takes the opportunity to kiss him. "Are you still gonna argue with me?"

Eren blushes. "Maybe later."

"Good boy," Levi says. "Now go home, I have to close."

"Awwee," Eren whines. "Can't I stay? I'm your boyfriend so I'm special, right?"

"Nope, only boyfriends who respect the Batman get special privileges."

"You're so mean," Eren pouts.

"Says the guy who didn't tell me he was going to SDCC until he came home."

"Fine," Eren says, kissing Levi again.

Levi pushes him toward the door. "Now get out of here, Nerd Lord."

"It's Star Lord," Eren replies, attempting to imitate the character from Guardians of the Galaxy.

"And I'm not the one who ones a comic book store so I can't possibly be a lord of nerds."

Levi smiles. "Fine, I'm a Nerd Lord too. Now go, I wanna go to bed."

"Bye," Eren says, smiling and waving cutely as he leaves.

"Idiot." Levi shakes his head, blushing faintly.
