In These Lyrics

Work

Erens POV

Levi led me in through the back door of his bar. I can't believe when he said 'night job' I immediately thought he was a stripper. Just because I resorted to that kind of degrading job does not mean everyone else would. What was even more embarrassing was that through that whole conversation I was picturing it. Levi, on a dance floor with a police officer uniform on, removing it all, layer by layer.

I need to stop. My imagination was getting the better of me. I shook my head to clear the dirty thoughts from invading my mind. Levi lead me into a nice room that was regrettably filled with the setting sunlight. I stayed close to the back where the sun was the weakest, but the golden rays still caused my skin to burn.

"Do you want me to take your coat?" I heard Levi say from behind the bar, where I noticed a door with a flight of stairs behind it.

"No that's alright, where should I put it" I said not wanting to be a burden. He said to follow him and we went upstairs where he gestured to a closet at the top. I hung up the black leather and watched as Levi did the same with his coat.

"I've got to get changed, you can wait downstairs or over there" He said pointing to a homey room with a couch, tv and a few tables. I made my way to it as I saw Levi disappear behind the oak door that leads to his room. I immediately decided on closing the curtains even though the windows were on the shaded side of the building. I than looked around. It was a pretty decent place considering it was built above a bar. The old wood floors were polished and had not a speck of dust on them. I grinned at the short mans cleanliness. There were a few strange things, like the fact that I saw no family pictures. Maybe he had a tough home life as a kid, there was also an odd metal machined that had two boxy compartments, a motor of a sort and a large variety of black leather harnesses. Maybe he made it for a project in university or something.

I started getting bored. What the heck was Levi doing? I walked over to his door and knocked.

"Levi?" No answer. I opened the door, why didn't he answer me? Crap.

Levi was half dressed and had headphones on, not earbuds but the big circular ones that cover the sides of your head. He was mumbling the lyrics in a smooth voice to what sounded like 'My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark' by Fall Out Boy . I noticed his hair was wet too, he must have showered which is what took him so long. Though I still couldn't get passed the fact that he was only wearing a pair of black pants, from this angle I couldn't see his chest but I could tell from his back that the front was toned and muscular. He turned. He pulled his headphones around his neck.

"Oh, hey Eren. Did you say something?" He said emotionlessly. How could he stay so calm, a gay, hormonal teenage boy just walked in on him while he was dressing and that's all he can say? Why the hell isn't he flipping his shit?

"Uh, yeah, I was just wondering what was taking you so long" I said as calmly as I could. What was it with this guy that made me a stuttering mess half of the time?

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you that I was going to take a shower" He said pulling on a white button up shirt. He buttoned them leaving the top two undone.

"Hang on a sec" he said while walking over to his bed to pick up and put on what looked like a black formal vest.

"Lets go" He said running a hand through his wet black hair.

The night was spent talking with Levi and customers while serving them as well, and wiping tables, Levi wouldn't let me stop, I hope I never have to wipe another table in my life. At one point I was wiping a table near the corner when I heard a man I had talked to named Oluo (idk if that's how you spell it, srry) who yelled at Levi about finally hiring someone to work at the bar. Levi just grunted and continued making drinks. I had a lot of fun considering it was work, I didn't think Levi was going to pay me, but I didn't mind, I had enough fun to make up for that, plus I didn't want to take Levi's money. I kept taking swigs from my water bottle in order to keep myself under control, and thankfully no body seemed to notice my elongated fangs during the points I was drinking it. After almost everyone had left it was almost one o'clock and my eyes were starting to droop, Levi said he wouldn't close till two on the dot (even though it was apparently my curfew when i was with him) so I sat down since there wasn't much to do. Though the continuous sounds of glasses clinking did nothing to stop me from falling asleep.

"Eren?" I heard my name but didn't register it.

"Eren?" A bit more insistent, why was it here? I smiled at the way it sounded on the speakers lips it was beautiful.

"God, your fucking with me right now aren't you?!" I heard the voice say this time, more clearly that the others. I felt my heavy eyelids open. I opened my eyes to see Levi in all of his short glory glaring down at me. I flinched.

"D-did you say something?" I said, scooting further back into the booth. He bent over, the white towel hanging out of his pocket swayed to the movement.

"Were you actually sleeping?" He said with his eyes narrowed into glinting lines on his face.

"I-I think so?" I said, I didn't intend for it to sound like a question, but hey, life doesn't always go to plan. Levi rolled his eyes and straightened up.

"The bar's closed now, I'll drive you back, unless you don't want me to" He added the last part slightly after the rest. I stood up and grinned, I picked up my water bottle and grabbed my coat.

"C'mon Levi" I said playfully. He looked away, grabbed his keys and muttered something along the lines of 'damn brat', but I chose to ignore it an bounced happily to his car.

We entered through the revolving doors where we were faced with many security guards.

"Authorization cards" A blonde guy who looked kind of drunk asked. Though I don't think I had one of those yet.

"Look, uh, Hannes, I am Eren-" I was cut off by a certain black haired manager beside me.

"Here" He said holing out two small plastic ID cards, after the guards had scanned them he passed mine to me.

"Your gonna need this" He said as we got onto the elevator. To be honest I was kind of surprised that he spent more than the needed hours of the day with me, as if he actually enjoyed my company. Because he sure as hell didn't act like it.

We reached my floor quickly an I stepped onto the elevated wooden platform while Levi stayed in the elevator.

I grinned. "See ya tomorrow" I said waving enthusiastically. He looked away... again. He kept doing that and I didn't know why, was there something more interesting than me buried in his shoulder?

"Yeah" And the large metal doors shut.
