The Ereri Project (#2)

Romeo (Teacher/Student)

"You've got to be kidding."

Eren looks over to see the younger man looking through his movie collection. "What?"

"How many different versions of Romeo and Juliet do you own?"

"Hopefully all of them," Eren replies, walking over.

Levi stares at him. "Seriously?"

"I think I even have the anime version..." he looks of them. "Yeah, there it is."

Levi looks over the titles, two of the ones with pun titled he recognized, Gnomeo and Juliet and Romanoff and Juliet.

A third with a pun name stuck out because he wasn't sure what the pum meant. "Tromeo and Juliet?"

Eren grins. "It's the sickest thing I've ever seen."

Levi blinks at him. "But you're smiling."

"Because you need to see it, it's so weird."

Eren takes the movie off the shelf and goes to turn it on. Levi, resigned to being forced to watch this movie, and gets up to sit on the
couch.

"Are you obsessed with Shakespeare or something?"

"I majored in English literature, you know. Shakespeare was a little important."

When the menu screen comes up, Levi still can't figure out the pun. "Why is his name Tromeo in this version?"

Eren gets comfortable on the couch and looks for the remote. "This version was made by a company called Troma, known for being low budget and horrifying."

Levi watches as the movie starts once the first few scenes are over, he spends the rest of the time watching the movie with a mildly horrified and confused look on his face.

When the credits finally roll, Levi's expression is even worse and his only response is to let out a high-pitched, "What?"

Eren laughs, nearly falling off the couch.

Levi kicks his leg. "You asshole! That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen! My innocence was stolen by this bag of dicks movie!"

Eren just continues laughing. "It's not that bad."

"Not that bad? Juliet turned into a fucking cow! And killed her creepy pedophile dad with tampons! And then they had the goddamn nerve to make her and Romeo siblings! And they had mutant babies!" Levi growls his anger into his hands.

"Levi?"

"What?"

"It's Tromeo, not Romeo."

Levi kicks his leg again. "Fuck you."

Eren gets back on the couch. "Wanna watch a normal version now?"

Levi frowns and crosses his legs. "Please."

Eren chuckles and kisses Levi before he gets up to change the movie.
