AOT/SNK - Levi x Reader - AU

Chapter 6

Several day passed I worked hard on the article, went to SC for that and so on. There I happened to run into Levi some times. He got a new regular at The Three Broomsticks and always happened to be the last guest, why I happened to close the bar every day since then.

Now my article is done and I only mentioned the first name of the CEO, which no one beside SC knew until then.

"(Y/N), you got a call on line 3", one of my coworkers at the office called to me.

"Thanks", I took the call, "(Y/N) (L/N), how can I help?"

"It is me", a now recognizable voice said.

"Levi? Why are you calling?"

"Because your article. I asked Erwin to give it to me, so I could think about publishing it or not."

"...W-What do you think?", I get nervous, he totally will get me fired now.

"I do not like that my first name is in it but the rest is good, change it to L. Ackerman and I led it trough"

"Sure!", I said a little too loud.

"Do not shout like that. Besides, I thought that you would write about more personal stuff when it comes to me. You basically know everything about me since I go to your bar every day since."

"I could have but as a journalist I know only your name. I told you I don't mix journalism and the bar."

"Yes, many times. Well, see you tonight at the bar?"

"Yes, I'll be there. See you"

I hang up.

Oh my, he let it through, completely, I can't believe this.

I changed the name of Levi Ackerman in the article to L. Ackerman and send the draft to the boss.

*That evening*

I was getting ready to go on stage but Levi isn't here yet.

"What happened that he isn't here yet?", (F/N) asked.

"I'd like to know that, too, he even called me to ask me if I'm here tonight."

"What? He did?"

"Well, at the office he called because the article I wrote to approve it, than he asked if we'll see us here tonight"

"He is a busy man, he still is a CEO, maybe something got up.", (F/N) tried to cheer me up.

"Yeah, probably", I said smiling

"Now go on stage, you have an audience that is waiting"

We started to play "In the end", "One for the money" and some other songs at the end of "Hero" Levi came in and I changed the plan of going of stage to play "You don't know me". After that I jumped from the stage and went behind the counter.

"Look who's there", (F/N) whispered to me.

"I saw that"

"Is this the reason why you played the last song?", she asked even she knows that it's totally right.

"Maybe"

I went to him with a smile.

"So Mr. CEO you'd like to have a coffee I think"

I was about to pour him his usual as he stops me.

"Not today, today we drink for your good article, and right now I'm not the CEO of SC but a friend of yours, if you are alright with it."

"Sure, what would you like?"

"What do you recommend?"

"Well than, I only can recommend (F/D), it's my favorite and the other guests say they never drank a (F/D) as good as mine"

"Well than, I have one"

"Alright", I said making two of it, "here you are"

"On your good article"

"Only good, as I remember correctly the CEO of the company I wrote about even called me to tell me how good it was"

"He called you to tell you it's good not grate and that it's okay to publish it, nothing more, nothing less"

"I like my version more"

"I thought that"

We drink our drinks and started talking about everything and nothing.

"I'm sorry to interrupt the two love birds but (Y/N) has to work, I don't mind when she doesn't have to be on stage but now she has to be", (F/N) said running in our conversation.

"Luckily I only drank one (F/N)"

"Yeah, that's right, now get up there"

I got on stage and we started with "Fuck you betta", kill the lights", "bring me to life" and ended with "Wonderland".

Before closing (F/N) left again before Levi and me.

"Well how much time this time until you have to close.", Levi asked.

"One hour"

"Then let us have one last drink"

"Can't, have to ride back home"

"With what, never saw a car in front of the bar that could be yours"

"Not a car, motorcycle"

"You are driving that thing outside there?"

"Yeah, that's my Kawasaki ZX-6R, my everything beside my dream"

"You did not have told me what your dream is?"

"Nothing but a dream, I never reach it"

"What is it then?"

"To quit my job as a journalist and get on a bigger stage than the one here in the bar"

"Maybe your boyfriend would help you", he suggested.

"Don't have one, why would I talk to someone like you every night 'till closing the bar"

"Is there someone else who could help you?"

"My parents don't like the idea, they think I won't come out big enough to earn something and (F/N) already helps me by letting me perform here every day. We hope that someday someone big would see the band and get us up there"

"Someone big saw you already and this someone likes the band"

"Who?"

"The CEO of SC Healthcare"

"You don't count, you are the one that consulted me, the one that insulted me, the one I wrote an article about. The article is probably the only reason we know each other now."

"What if I would try to help you?"

"You would?"

Why the fuck would he help me? I don't get this...

"Yes, next weekend is a big party at SC, we always have this party at this time of year. It was Hanji's idea"

"And how should this help?"

"You and your band will be the band for this evening. How does this sound?"

"I... that's amazing!", I hug him, "But what about the bar?"

"(F/N) would get a compensation because you are not playing this evening. And you all get paid for being there."

"That's amazing!", I hug him once more, "I'll ask the others, tomorrow you get the answer."
