My Heart's Music

Dance practice. Chapter 13

Levi's POV

I woke up at around 8 am, once I got out of bed I noticed Eren's bed empty and folded and I don't see him anywhere plus his bags aren't in the room. I sighed "Guess he's already at the register counter" I said to myself then went to the bathroom, I did my morning routine then got dressed then grabbed my bags. Last night I was stupid and didn't talk to him about the kiss, I even heard him crying after I finished my shower. I wanted to tell him but I guess I froze, not that I would admit that I froze.

I walked out of the hotel room, locked it then went to the register where I saw Erwin, Hange and the others including Eren but he didn't seem alright, he hid more behind Erwin once he saw me. He probably thinks I hate him now, I sighed as I gave the room key back to the counter lady as she asked for an autograph before I leave, I had my bandages on like always, I rolled my eyes but signed a blank page from a notebook she gave me. I then walked away to the others "Why did no one wake me up?" I asked as I reached the others, the others turned to the spot Eren was but he isn't there anymore. "Where did Eren go?" Ackerman asked "He said he's going to the bus" Arlert said "Well let's go then" shitty glasses said then we started walking to the busses.

I saw the bus drivers talking to Eren as they pulled out his motorcycle from one of the busses, he noticed me watching them and he looked away. I was about to go talk to him when shitty glasses pulled me into the bus "What the hell?!" I yelled at her, she pulled me to her bed and started yapping about random ass shit. After about 3 minutes of her yapping I stopped her "That's enough, I have to talk to Yeager shitty glasses" I said/yelled the first part. I got up but as I was about to go outside the bus started to drive and I saw Eren drive past us on his motorcycle "God damn it!" I slightly yelled, but controlled myself mostly. I sighed in annoyance and went on to my bed, I laid down in it thinking about Eren and that kiss.

Eren's POV

As I drove past the busses and ahead of them I saw Levi through the window looking at me from the corner of my eye. I kept on driving as I thought about the kiss again, tears threatened to fall from my eyes and it was pathetic, at least that's what I think.

Back to Levi

As I thought about the kiss my thoughts went to him crying last night and even after I went to bed and pretended to sleep I heard him crying just softer. The more I thought about it the more I wanted it to happen again just so I can tell him it's alright, just so I can kiss him and comfort him and tell him I like him instead of freezing and being an idiot. I sighed as I stopped thinking about it and put in my ear buds and started the music, I don't listen to my music because that is just self love and I'm not like that. I started to slowly fall asleep but I tried to stay awake until finally letting sleep overwhelm me.

Few hours later (they get to their destination), Eren's POV

I went to the hotel room set for me and Levi and put my bags there then went back to where Erwin was because he wanted to talk to me. I walked up to him "Erwin? You wanted to tell me something?" I asked "Yes, I wanted to tell you that we settled in between 2 city's in which one of them is the last concert, we have a few days before both concerts so we rented a dance studio for you to practice with Levi before the last concert" he said, shit I forgot about that "Um..do I have to appear in the last concert?" I asked kind of nervous "I told you before if we introduce you after recording the next album it will be a bit late, why are you even asking that, you agreed to doing it, what's wrong?" he said/asked, I was quiet for a bit then answered "Nothing, never mind" I said then soon added "Where is the studio?" I asked "It's just around the block from the hotel on the right, it's called A dancer's dream, you can go there right now and I'll send Levi after I get him up, oh and just say that you have a reservation under No name" he said but he looked a little suspicious "Alright" I said then went to the hotel room again and grabbed a change of clothes and a pair of sneakers and I put on my bandages, then just went to the studio.

Few minutes later I got to the dance studio, I went to the front desk "Hello how may I help you?" the lady at the front desk asked "There's a reservation under No name" I said "Oh yes, down the hall on the right is the dance room and the changing area is in the hall on the left, here's the key for a locker" she said as she handed me a key with number 23 on it "Thanks" I said and went to the changing room, I got to the locker and opened it. I changed and put my stuff inside then went into the dance room where I warmed up and tried to forget what I did and tried not to think that Levi probably hates me.

Levi's POV after Eren left

I woke up to someone shaking me awake "What?" I groaned as I sat up "We're here and you have to go practice with Eren and figure out a routine." Erwin's voice reached me, I didn't say anything to it and just got up and grabbed my bag "Which room?" I asked as I put on my bandages "Room 142" he said and I went to the hotel and to the room. I grabbed a bag and put a change of clothes and sneakers in it then I went back down to where Erwin is "Where is the dance studio and what is the name of the reservation?" I asked simply "A block from the hotel on the right, it's called A dancer's dream and the reservation is under No name" he said "Okay" I said and went to the dance studio.

I got there in a few minutes and went to the front desk "Hello how may I-" I cut her off "No name reservation" I said "I'm guessing you 2 are practising then, down the hall on the right is the dance room and the changing area is in the hall on the left, here's the key for a locker" she said handing me a key with the number 34 on it "Yeah" I grabbed the key and went to the changing area where I changed and put my stuff in my locker. I walked to the dance room in which there was music playing, Eren is already here then. I opened the door and seems like he didn't notice me yet so I leaned on the door frame and watched, the song that was playing is 'Whistle while I work it' by Chester See, I watched as he moved, he seems a bit stiff on some parts of his choreography but maybe he just thought of it so it would be like that. The song finished and he stopped in a pose, I smirked slightly then clapped slightly making him look at me instantly, I closed the door then walked to him. "You need to relax a bit you're too tense, you hit some of the dance moves a bit stiffly" I said as I reached him and looked him in the eye, he looked away. "Yeah I know" he said "Can we just get this over with?" he then asked "You do realise we have to make a whole routine and make it look amazing in just a few days?" I asked as I returned to my emotionless expression "Yes I do, the quicker we think of one the quicker we can practice it" he said as he moved away from me and grabbed his bottle of water and taking a sip from it. "You already warmed up and stretched right?" I asked, he nodded "Then think of something while I do my warm up and stretches" I said and started warming up. After I did what I needed we exchanged ideas for the dance, he barely looked at me, I think he knows we'll have to get closer to each other but he hasn't even said anything about it. I've been watching his body movements, he's tense, almost nervous, it has been a few minutes and we haven't talked about anything else other then the routine. And quite honestly it's pissing me off "Hey brat" I got his attention "Would you calm down? It's not like I'm going to bite you if you come near me" I said, he looked at me, he actually looked me in the eyes for a moment then he looked away "Sorry" he said, it was like he was thinking for that 1 short moment. I saw his eyes, they were slightly dull and red, so many emotions in one look, I couldn't stop thinking about it. This is really getting to me.
