A Fanboy And A Dollar (Ereri)

Chapter 17

I went to Warped Tour and a Three Days Grace concert (yay)

3rd Person:

Levi crossed his arms and gave Eren an expectant look. "What is it that you needed to talk to me about?"

"Whatever that was. During the fireworks. You said that was nothing."

His proud, cocky expression faltered into an uncomfortable glance. "Look, Eren," he began, cutting himself off when he caught sight of someone walking towards the pair. She stared at them both, and without saying anything, she briskly side-stepped around them.

Levi returned his attention to Eren after the girl disappeared in a room. "I... I can't be with you like that."

Eren's eyes widened and his cheeks flushed. "W-what? Where did-"

"It's not that hard to notice." 

A lump formed in Eren's throat, but he managed to get out a, "Why?"

Levi sighed, a scowl forming. "I just want you to have a normal life; to get through high school. Being with me will only ruin your future."

Eren took a step forward, grabbing Levi's hand. "H-how?"

"I'm a celebrity, and we're both men. People can be really nasty when it comes to things like that, especially since you'd still be in school."

"Can't I just drop out?"

Levi's gaze hardened. "I never went to school. I wish I could've gone, but I'll never get that opportunity again. I'm not letting you throw away your last year of high school for me."

"But what if we didn't tell anybody?"

Levi opened his mouth as if to say something, but hesitated. He shut it and shrugged. Eren smiled, taking hold of Levi's other hand. "Can we?"

"They'll find out."

"They?"

"The paparazzi."

"So? Maybe I don't like the life I had. Maybe I want something different, something new."

Levi looked at his shoes, contemplating Eren's words. He looked at Eren uncomfortably before shrugging again. "If you really want to."

Eren's smile grew. His hands trailed up Levi's arms to rest on his cheeks, and after a moment of hesitation, both men leaned into their first kiss together.

Eren closed the door behind him, causing Xavier's eyes to lift from his phone. "Where's Levi?" he asked.

"He went to grab something from the car," Eren responded, kicking off his shoes.

Xavier returned to playing the game on his phone, but said, "What's going on between you two all of a sudden?"

The brunet went quite for a moment. "Nothing that interesting. We solved our issue, so there's no need to worry."

"Alright." Xavier put down his phone to look at Eren. "What about my issue? Can you help me with that?"

Eren wasn't expecting a question that had to do with The Trio, so it took him a moment to respond.

"Sure. I can try."

The man tucked his phone away in a pocket. "What will our fans think? About me being kicked off The Trio for her."

"They'll probably hate it. They came there to see you, Dustin, and Oliver. Not some girl that already has their 'future husband' as a boyfriend."
