Pierce My Heart

Chapter One- Meetings

Eren's POV

I walked into work at around seven this morning and immediately knew that today would be horrible. I work at Rogue Titan Tattoos, a small business owned and operated by my adoptive sister Mikasa. It was always interesting, I could say that much for the job. The front room was already full of bored and pissed clients who had been waiting to get there tattoo or piercing for probably an hour and it looked like Horseface had his hands full with one client. "Yeager! Can you handle this for a moment?!" neighed a panicked Jean as a tall brunette with a ponytail began to walk towards him angrily. " What's in it for me Horseface?" I chuckled as I sat down on the main counter and looked sweetly in his direction. "Why should I do shit for you!?" he yelled exasperated as I simply shrugged and leaned back against the counter closing my mismatched eyes. The girl approaching him was growing angrier by the second and now had a small blonde by her side attempting to calm her down. "Eren please!" he yelled desperately as the fuming client had almost reached him and a crowd had now gathered. I sighed as I rolled my eyes before pushing myself off of the counter and walking casually over to them. I smiled wide as I waved at the angry brunette. "Hello, and welcome to Rogue Titan Tattoos!" I said in mock cheerfulness, "My name is Eren Yeager, how may I be of service?" The brunette instantly relaxed a little, an effect I appeared to have on most people, and an audible sigh was heard from the small blonde. "Hi. I'm Krista, and this is Ymir. We've been here for almost an hour already and the people who have already gone back haven't even been here for twenty minutes..." The blonde said with an exasperated look. I chuckled at that causing all of them to look at me. "That sounds about right, Horseface couldn't follow a schedule if it was tattooed on his face" I joked making some of them smile, "Come on I'll help you get this settled..." I said with a smile as I looked towards the front desk. As we passed Jean I grinned and leaned over to whisper ''you owe me'' into his ear before continuing to the computer.

Levi's POV

Shitty traffic. Shitty weather. Shitty day. I thought to myself as I was held up at a traffic light for the fifth time in my ten minute trip. I internally growled at the thought of missing my appointment with Mikasa. Then the light turned green. Soon after I pulled into the parking lot of Rogue Titan Tattoos. I walked in the door quietly to see a tall brunet sweeping the parlor. I coughed loudly to announce my arrival and apparently startled the brat because they squeaked and in a hurry to turn towards me tripped. After regaining his composure they looked at me and slowly stood. "We're closed, sir. You'll have to come back tomorrow." He said as he glared at me. I was about to say something when I saw his eyes. One a golden color richer than honey and the other a blue, wait no green, actually not even that, it resembled the color of the Caribbean on a sunny day. I hadn't realized I had been staring until I heard a small "I said we are closed..." and looked up to see a faint blush covering his cheeks. I smirked and started to speak before I was interrupted again. "Eren, what's going on?" Mikasa said as she exited her room. Apparently she didn't see me. "I told him we are closed but he won't leave..." he mumbled as he looked back in my direction. Then her eyes shifted to me and I saw a small smile curve her lips. "Welcome Levi... You're late..." She said as she stared me down. "Traffic" was all I said as I shrugged.

"Wait this is Levi!? The mysterious cousin from France that you mentioned was visiting again a month ago? "Eren said as he looked at Mikasa again and then to me. Then he smiled and, oh my god... am I dead? Is this heaven? That smile should not be possible... I thought as he smiled "Sorry for earlier." he said, "I'm Eren Yeager, Mikasa's adoptive little brother!" Yep... I thought I'm dead...

Eren's POV

I was mopping up after closing when I heard someone cough loud. I started to turn and see who it was when I tripped and fell to the floor. I sat there for a minute and finally looked up to see a raven haired man standing by the door with a smirk on his face. He was a little taller than me and dressed in black, grey, and white with his black hair cropped perfectly into an undercut. Oh my god... I thought, He has piercings... and those eyes, it's like they're boring their way into my soul... I finally shook myself from my thoughts and looked up at him. "We're closed, sir. You'll have to come back tomorrow." I mumbled as I stood and looked at him. He, however didn't listen and continued to stare at me. I could feel my skin heating up at his intense gaze and finally forced myself to speak "I said we're closed..." I whined as I saw him smirk. He opened his mouth to speak but was immediately cut off by Mikasa, who had emerged from the back room, "Eren, what's going on?" Mikasa said as she exited her room. Apparently not seeing the dark haired stranger that was looking at her fondly. "I told him we are closed but he won't leave..." I mumbled as I looked back in his direction. Then her eyes shifted to him and I saw a small smile curve her lips. "Welcome Levi... You're late..." She said as she stared him down. "Traffic" was all that was said as he shrugged.
