The Eren and Levi Project

Silence Cinderella (Highschool)

"I swear to God Jaeger, if you don't shut your goddamn mouth this minute I'll murder you," Levi whispers harshly at the lead actor.

"Aw c'mon I'm not making that much noise!" Eren exclaims, looking down and tugging on the hem of his silver tunic. Having earned the male lead role in Cinderella; The Musical as a complete rookie, Eren has no clue how to act backstage on opening night. Which effectively pisses off Levi, the stage manager.

"Say one more thing, I'm sure there's someone back here who can replace you." Levi growls once more before stalking away to prepare the set for the next scene. Eren rolls his eyes. Levi wouldn't touch him, after all he's Prince fucking Charming. No one can replace him.

"Eren, it's your cue!" Armin whispers, catching Eren's attention. He fixes his tunic once more before bursting onto the bright stage.

"Mother, what is the meaning of this?!" He demands, already into the persona of the Prince.

Meanwhile, Levi glares at the handsome boy strutting in the spotlight.

Who the hell does that brat think he is? He thinks angerily. Can't he just respect the rules?! I mean he may be a rookie but it's common sense to be quiet backstage!

Levi continues to seethe quietly as the scene plays out in front of him.

"Mom I want this ball called off immeadiatly!" Eren cries, speaking to Krista, the queen.

"But, darling, it's impossible to cancel once you've got the ball rolling!" Krista squeals at the joke, but Eren and Jean, the king, remain serious.

"Well you can just count me out." As practiced, Eren begins to storm off stage.

"Your Highness!" Levi tunes out as Jean begins to speak. He doesn't like horseface much, but he can't help but notice Marco, the light tech, stare a little to long. Picking at his finger nails, Levi sighs. Being stage manager sucks, especially on opening night. There's just so much to do before the show, but once it starts you're stuck just sitting through scenes and waiting for set changes. The short boy beings to pay attention again when he hears the door slam from offstage, signalling Connie's entrance as Lionel.

"Your Majesties, Your Highness, - if you please, I couldn't help overhearing and I probably shouldn't interfere..."

"Probably." Levi snorts softly as Eren, Krista, and Jean speak in such a unison monotone. Connie sweat drops but still continues.

"But perhaps we can reach a royal compromise?"

"Compromise?" Krista echoes, being her usually sweet self, it's almost sickening.

"What do you think this is - a democracy?" Jean splutters, causing Marco to shake with laughter in the rafters above him. Levi wants to throw up. How Marco deals with that asshole is beyond him.

"What sort of a compromise, Lionel? " Levi's attention is once again drawn to Eren, the one thing he doesn't want to think about. The brat has already absorbed enough of his energy tonight, but that doesn't stop Levi from noticing how his muscles bulge in the tunic Moblit spent hours sewing. Or how Eren's eyes sparkle in the spotlight.

"Levi, we need some help!" Armin calls to the black-haired man, receiving a sigh in response. Levi really does hate opening night.

Levi's POV
"Great job, everyone! The show went amazing! I'll see you all here at 10 tomorrow. Get some rest and save your voices." The student director, Erwin says, ushering the cast out of our small theater. I push my earings back in their holes and tie the laces on my combat boots. I couldn't wear my normal attire backstage or else I'd attract too much attention. Which means I have to change after the show. It's pretty annoying, since I have so many piercings that have to be put back in. Fixing my leather jacket, I stand up and make my way to the theater doors.

"Levi! Hey wait up!" I sigh and look back at the flushing boy blundering after me.

"What is it Jaeger? I have to get to work."

"Well, I'm sorry for being loud earlier! And I was hoping I could take you out for dinner to fix it, I mean if you're not gay that's fine I just want-" This kid just doesn't shut up does he? Well let's fix that. He's interrupted by my lips pressing on his. With a quick slip of my tongue, I dip inside his mouth and take a step back. He's flushing even harder now, with an obvious boner.

"Armin has my number, get it from him and give me a call sometime." I walk away, leaving the boy speechless. With a smirk, I pull the out the wallet I took from him while he was recovering. That brat had to learn his lesson sometime.

Now he has a reason to call me.
