No Name has suddenly sky rocketed in the billboards and the members couldn't be more thrilled. They still keep their identity's secret so they can live a normal life outside of touring. After a show done for a talk show, the group comes across an in...
Eren looks tuckered out from the concert as I sit next to him. By the time we've parked in the studio garage, he's out. The five of us clear out the bus quietly, packing our clothes into our individual cars and making sure we leave nothing behind. I pick Eren up and carry him to the passenger seat of my car, buckling him in before closing the door as quietly as my car will allow.
Hanji gives me a nights worth of painkillers and a promise to show up tomorrow to start helping with Eren’s case. I thank them and get into the driver's seat, starting the car up. Eren stirs awake as I pull out.
“Where are we going?” he asks, his voice soft.
“I hope you don't mind,” I speak just as softly to him, “I'm taking you to my house so you can sleep in a bed.”
“Thank you, Levi,” He responds, gently smiling to me.
The drive is rather long, seeing as how I live in the suburbs, and for most of it Eren is softly snoring away next to me. He seems at peace, like he's having a pleasant dream, unlike the terror filled one last night.
The way he screamed for me, echos in my head. I know he never said my name, but every instinct, every muscle, every tendon, knew it was for me, and every part of me hated hearing it said with such fear, such sorrow.
“Levi?” Eren’s voice breaks through my thoughts.
We're parked in my driveway, and have been for a while. I turn off the car and turn to him.
“Sorry, I was lost in thought a little,” I shake my head.
He nods and I quickly exit the vehicle to open the passenger door. His face contorts in discomfort, the pain medication must be wearing off. I gently wrap my arm around his waist, careful to not hurt him as I help him up. We can get our stuff later.
I help him inside. My house is clean, of course, and it's large for just one person but small for a family of five, it fit what I needed. Eren glances around, a slight giggle leaving his lips. I walk him to the kitchen and get him some water before giving him another pill. He downs it quickly as I look around my empty kitchen.
“C-Can I tell you something… Levi?” he asks as he grips the cup, looking at the liquid contained in it.
“Of course.”
“Do you remember... when I said, I had started crushing on someone recently?” he asks. I nod in response. “I was kinda... talking about... you. I mean like, the celebrity crush that you don't ever think will be anything more…”
I don't say anything, it's not because I'm speechless, but because it's written on his face. He's embarrassed to be admitting these things to me and doesn’t want me to comment.
“You came to me in a dark part of my life, like a guardian angel. You were this beacon of hope and I honestly… fell hard for you. I thought it would never matter, just a way to reach the end of the tunnel, a bottomless well of hope I could always draw from.”
He wants to say more, but it catches in his throat and he smiles to try and cover it.
“I just want to say thanks, even if you had no idea, it still means the world to me. And thanks for everything you've done, and everything you're doing. I don't think I could do it alone.”
I would be lying if I said I don’t want to kiss him. That would be so wrong to do though, he's been through something traumatic and he's just emotional. It would be so wrong to confuse him like that right now. So instead, I hug him, gently, but firmly. He hugs back of course and his nerves settle.
“Eren, I promise that you won't have to be alone right now, or ever again, we're here for you.” I rub his back. He nods and looks to me. There's so much he wants to say, it's built up behind his eyes, but he can't say anything, and he's given up on trying.
Stifling a yawn, he leans back into me. I pick him up and carry him to my room, setting him down on the bed. He holds my shirt as I sit on the edge and kick off my shoes, slipping my shirt off as well when he lets go. I pull the covers over the two of us as I lay next to him, immediately finding him curled against my side again.
Unable to help myself as he sleeps, I place a kiss on his head.
Eren, he's got me wrapped around his finger, my heart in his hand. I only wish, I could tell him, but it's not the time, four days ago we were strangers. It feels that I've known him forever though, I can almost read him like a book.
The morning comes sooner than expected, and I had forgotten to close the blinds last night. Eren is already awake, I can feel him shifting, trying to get the sun away from his eyes.
I softly laugh, which makes his green eyes shoot up to me.
“S-Sorry, Levi… I didn't mean to wake you,” he softly blushes.
“You didn't.” I reply through a stretch.
He sits up abruptly, taking the covers with him. “Uh, Levi… where's your bathroom?” I point to a door in my room.
“Before you go, what do you want for breakfast, I have to go to the store to get it.” I sit up in the bed and pull on my shirt.
“Blueberry Waffles kinda sound good.” He says as he quickly moves to the bathroom.
“I'll be back then.” I yell to him and slip on my shoes.

So a friend and I cosplayed Attack on Titan for school. After, both being without boundaries, a fan of Ereri and a fan of freaking out our straight friend, we took some super gay pics. As a thanks, I will probably leave a few here and there for y'all.
