Threes (disc)

Chapter 002 (Eren)

Levi waited awkwardly and embarrassingly on a bench just outside the bank he told to meet him at. Actually the guy said he'd pick him up since Levi didn't have a car of his own. He looked around and hardly anyone was on the street. It felt different, he felt shameful. Nervous as in all hell in the back of his mind he remembered what his strict, traditional parents had warned him about. He was already so much of an embarrassment to them by what he did for a barely living--if only they could see him now. "Fuck, it's cold." He grumbled.

He scanned around frequently, then suddenly remembered he didn't even know what his car was. He asked and got a reply minutes later. 'It's a Dodge Charger.'

Mere seconds later the silver thing stopped right in the middle of the street. 'Is he fucking really going to--shit.' Levi speedily walked to the other side and took a deep breathe before opening the door and jumping in. Hurriedly because the fucking idiot was in the middle of the goddamned road. Before he could even say anything, or even a greeting, he felt something softly brush his hair as the guy said hello first. Luckily Levi had a cadet hat on to hide his red faced expression. That was so fucking sudden.

Shakily Levi answered, "Hey."

Great. Just fucking great. His heart was pumping already. Might as well have killed him by adding a dosage of 'Jesus, that was hot.' to the already existing anxiety.

''Wow.'' The guy said.

Levi took a moment to fully concentrate on seeing what the guy looked like. He looked way better than his goddamned profile picture. His brunette hair was definitely a lot neater, and only now did he realize he had heterochromia. One eye was a dark emerald while the other sported a golden tone that shone brilliantly in the light of the street lamps.

Levi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the black interior he regularly hated so much now had made everything so much more intimate. He had always hated black interiors in cars simply for the fact that it made him feel anxious and claustrophobic, but now that seemed to play a better, positive role. The tension around Levi was just consuming him.

He looked around intently just for a quick second, admiring the cleanliness of the car, and thanking heavens that it didn't reek. In fact it smelled really good. He wondered if the guy put on some cologne.

The man seemed to stare at him and Levi tried extremely hard not to look away in embarrassment. "What, what is it?" Levi asked.

"You look so much cuter than the profile picture." He replied, smiling. Levi felt the blood rush to his cheeks the way the guy looked at him, and nervously chuckled. He could have said something cold and harsh, but he chose the friendly route.

"Th-thanks." Levi replied.

"My name's Eren." He held out a hand, and Levi shook it.

"Levi."

Levi sighed a long deep sigh as they started the small talk that Levi found very de-energizing, but he didn't find it to be too bad. They talked about their families and where their parents originated from, then how they lived surprisingly close to each other. Then they even found out that they both were meeting someone from the app for the first time.

Levi had realized that he had been driving around for a while now, and just when he was about to ask where they were going Eren spoke, "Sorry, I hope you don't mind, but I just wanted to talk a bit before we did anything because you seemed a bit shy or nervous."
