Lights! Cameras! Levi?! (a Levi x Reader)

Celebration

"(First name)!" Eren, Armin and Mikasa ambushes you into a group hug and squeezes the living shit out of you.

"CONGRATS! YOU'RE ONTO THE NEXT ROUND!" Armin congratulates you.

"Never have I thought that you'd be Levi's Golden Buzzer act!" Mikasa exclaims.

"I KNEW YOU CAN DO IT!" Eren's bright green eyes shine with joy and excitement.

"T-thank you guys! I wouldn't have made it this far without you!" You cry tears of joy, messing up your makeup.

You now have black streams of mascara and eyeliner running down your face.

"You should head over to the washroom and clean your face up, before meeting up with us later to celebrate." Suggests Mikasa.

"Yeah, I should." You agree and head over to the bathroom.

You turn a corner and walk past heaps of contestants down dull halls, until you finally reach the girl's bathroom.

You walk in and wet a bunch of paper towels, wiping off all the layers of makeup on your face. It feels quite refreshing to return to your real and honest self, like taking off a mask that's been attached to your face. You stare into the mirror at your own disheveled reflection. You have visible eye bags from all the restless nights, staying up practicing or writing songs (it sucks to be an insomniac) and your eyes are two different shades of (eye color), with your left eye being a slightly lighter shade than your right eye. This is because your left eye is made of glass, due to the fact that you were born with only one eye(or so you were told). But nevertheless, you're happy to be free from all the makeup and you start to make your way back to Eren, Mikasa and Armin.

While walking down the hall, you hear an angry, stern voice coming from the bathroom.  

"Annie, listen to me for once!"

You quickly (but quietly) walk back to the bathroom, and stand behind the door, curiously listening in to the conversation.

"You better fulfill your father's final wishes and win that record label, don't let that (first name) beat you! Honestly, I'm disappointed in you, Annie. I told you to knock the judges off their own feet, I told you to be the Golden Buzzer act! But did that happen? NO! So for tonight, I want you to practice your next song, even harder, until you have it all memorized with absolutely no mistakes!"

"Yes, mum." Annie responds in a sad, empty voice, not daring to defy her.

Annie and her mom walk past the door, and out into the hall. Unfortunately, you can't get a glance of her mom from your hiding spot.

"What kind of mother would put her child under so much pressure?" You start to wonder.

"Well, I guess it's better than not having a mother at all." You sadly recall the memories of your dead parents.

You quickly shake these thoughts away and head back to meet up with your friends.

---------------

There were quite a few decent acts today (with yours standing out the most), but there were some horrible auditions that Levi had to stomach and it was not pleasant at all. But compared to the other days, today was a good day. Now, it's time to completely wrap up the day. Levi gathers up his notes and heads out the door along with Erwin and Hanji.

"Hey Levi, I've heard of this new bar in downtown that we can all hang out at tonight!" Said Hanji.

"Yeah, and I think you should relax a bit, and meet new people. Perhaps even find someone..." Erwin lightly nudges him on the arm.

Levi brushes his elbow off.

"I'll pass."

"Why Levi? You always go straight home after work! Can we at least have fun together with all three of us present?" Hanji pleads.

Levi looks into her glistening, brown pleading eyes, and decides to give in. (Hanji would've dragged him to the bar anyways).

"Fine, I'll go." He sighs.

Levi would much rather stay at home and surf the web by himself, or just chill somewhere less...noisy.

"Just don't let the psychotic fans swarm us." He mutters.

"Oh, we won't. We have security with us." Reassures Erwin.

--------------

"Hey, I'm back!" You announce as you meet up with Eren, Armin and Mikasa.

"All better now?" Mikasa asks.

You nod.

"Good."

"Anyways, we've been thinking that we should go to a bar to celebrate!" Armin suggests.

"Which bar?" You ask.

"The one that just opened-Titan Woods." Said Eren.

"Sure, why not!"

"Okay then, it's settled. We should head back to the hotel to change, and then head over to the bar at around seven or eight." Mikasa plans.

"Sounds good." You said.

Despite your tiredness, you really want to go and have a great time with your friends as the four of you haven't gone out together for a while now. And besides, getting the Golden Buzzer from Levi is something to celebrate after all.

------------

Levi grunts as he sits on a purple plush couch, facing Erwin and Hanji (who are blocking the spectacular view of the city out the window, from Hanji's penthouse), all dressed up in his formal clubbing attire (a grey unbuttoned blazer, with a crisp white t-shirt underneath paired up with matching grey pants and a pair of shiny black, leather shoes).

He mumbles under his breath about why did he even bother to show up at Hanji's place.

"OH MY GOD LEVI, YOU LOOK GREAT!" Hanji comments on his choice of outfit.

"And so do you, four eyes." He said, forcing an awkward grin.

Hanji's way more dressed up than usual. She'd often leave her penthouse dressed in a hoodie-dress, skinny jeans and heeled Converse, but now, she's in her clubbing outfit-a silky, dark green hi-low dress paired with gold wedges, stud earrings and a matching gold belt. She doesn't have her glasses on, which means she decided to wear her contacts. But her hair is still swept up into a messy bun, like always. 

"Just one more thing..." Hanji dashes into her bedroom and runs back with a grey bowtie in hand.

"WEAR THIS!" She tosses it at Levi.

Reluctantly, Levi puts on the (dammed) piece of accessory.

"ALL BETTER!"

"I guess."

"So, who's the designated driver?" Asks Levi.

Levi and Hanji both turn towards Erwin (who they know, barely consumes any alcohol).

"Fine, I'll drive...again."

Erwin doesn't look any different than before. He usually shows up to work in a formal button-up vest, a crisp white, collared shirt, a tie, dress pants and a pair of leather shoes. Levi swore that he didn't even bother to change, when he came here.

"I guess we're all set! Let's head out!" Hanji announces.

Levi, Hanji and Erwin all get to their feet, and head out the door. Levi braces himself for the loudest, craziest night of his lifetime.
