The concert was only three days away. Eren stood in the club, shirt off once again. He held a paint brush in one hand. His hair, chest, face, arms and most likely, his back, were coated in specks, splashes or drips of the pale pearl grey paint. He looked around, head bent back as he scanned the ceiling to see if he missed a spot.

"How much paint did you actually get on the ceiling?" Erwin called out.

"I am not a painter!" Eren chuckled.

"I thought the little blond guy, said you could draw?" Marco stated as he walked in carrying more bags, behind Erwin.

"That kind of painting is very different." Eren pointed to the celling.

"How's it look?" He asked.

Erwin came up to stand beside him, after empting his arms of the bags he had carried in. The tall blond walked around, inspecting the celling.

"Watch out for the paint on the floor!" Levi cried.

"That's why there is a tarp down!" Jean called back. Everyone was here getting things set up for the coming weekend.

"Damn, Yeager, nice abs!" Bertolt called out.

"Eyes off! Those are for my eyes only!" Levi slapped the taller male.

"Then get him a shirt!" Bertolt cried rubbing his head.

"Looks good." Erwin nodded.

"Reiner finish the walls?" He asked as he glanced at the dark brown varnish he got for the wooden walls.

Erwin had decided to make it look more natural. Large wooden beams were seen stretching over the celling. The natural state of the wooden walls were enhanced by the varnish, only the actually celling had been painted, due to Erwin using a black light and seeing how glaring the white of it, glowed brightly.

"What else do we have to do?" Eren asked as he scratched at some dried paint.

"You need to shower!" Levi huffed.

"You want him walking back there, like that?" Jean pressed.

"I need Eren for the outdoor sound check." Connie cried.

He had been sitting in a booth, waiting for the singer to get done with his art project. All eyes swung to him.

"Why aren't you helping?" Levi growled.

"I have been setting up the stage and sound outside!" Connie wailed.

"I can't do much without my singer to check the mics!" He wailed when it looked like Levi was going to say something else.

"Take your shoes off." Levi pointed to Eren's feet.

"Hey, you stopped stuttering around him!" Jean came back out of the kitchen to grab more of the bags everyone had left on the bar.

"I guess he got a bit comfortable, living with Eren." Bertolt winked.

"Where is Reiner? This isn't right!" Erwin called out as he came back from the far corner of the club.

"He left about forty minutes ago. Said something about needing more stuff." Eren told him.

"Lazy, no good..." Erwin's voice was cut off as he walked out the front door.

"You going to paint your room?" Marco asked Eren. He was helping Jean.

"He doesn't live here any longer." Levi walked past them, carrying two large boxes of chocolate bottles.

"Making it official?" Marco asked him, falling into step behind him.

"What?" Levi asked, slipping behind his bar.
