These Notes We Play (Ereri)

New Song (5)

Time skip to Wednesday nights performance:

Levi's POV:

Eren and I had been on six dates now and he was really warming my locked heart and breaking my walls down. So much so that I spent the entire previous night writing the lyrics to a song that we have been trying to find the lyrics to for months, being with him brought out my true feelings and I new the song stated how I truly feel.

I sent the lyrics to the band and they all loved it, knowing Eren would be at the performance tonight we decided to add it to the end of the set.

Eren had come over to my place early this morning, when I say early I mean it I was still in my pyjamas when he texted me saying he was outside. He seemed a little stressed and like he hadn't had any sleep so we decided to spend the day cuddling.

We were in the lounge watching Netflix. I was led on my back resting my chin against the top of his head, while he led on top of me on his stomach. We chatted and laughed whenever Eren yawned, he definitely was tired. He started to drift off to sleep so I pulled him closer wrapping my arms around his back, I drew shapes on his back and could feel small bumps through the thin fabric. These bumps did not feel like muscle and it worried me, I went to say something but stopped when I noticed how wide his eyes had suddenly become as if I had scared him. I placed a gentle kiss on his head and he relaxed instantly it was only a small gesture but I meant a lot to him knowing that I wouldn't ask him about it.

I looked over at the antique clock hung on the kitchen wall and saw it was nearly Six pm. I sighed knowing we would have to leave our comfortable positions and get ready to go. Quickly I pecked his head with my lips and the scent of cinnamon and cherries flooded my nose, it was a strange combination but it smelled so amazing.

"Eren we need to get ready to go the show starts in two hours," I rubbed his arm as he looked up at my face.

"Okay then, I guess you need to get there early to set up," he spoke while stretching his arms still on top of me.

I nodded in response. He stood up and raised his arms above his head to stretch some more. I sat up and watched his shirt ride up above his hips revealing his toned abs and dozens of scars small and large. I gasped shocked and terrified at what I was, what happened? He looked down at me.

"What?" he asked groggily as he looked down and saw his shirt, "Shit!"

Frantically he pulled his shirt down before rushing towards the front door.

"Eren wait," I leapt from the sofa and grabbed his gently before he could go any further.

He looked at me with tears in his eyes and shaking violently. I felt the sudden urge to smother him with hugs and kisses and protect him not bearing the sight of seeing him cry. Still holding his hand I walked towards him and wrapped my arms around him tucking his head into my shoulder.

"Its okay, you don't have to tell me anything until you are ready to, its okay you are safe," I cooed rubbing my hand across his shoulder blades. He was now openly sobbing clinging onto my shirt, shaking vigorously and he let out what felt like years worth of pent up emotion. I could feel his knees buckle and I instantly picked him up stopping him from falling, I carried him over to the sofa and sat him down gently. He still clung onto me while he sobbed and let it all out. After another few minutes he calmed down and loosened his iron grip on my shirt and replaced it with a delicate hold over my neck. I knelt down in front of him and placed gentle kisses on his trembling hands and his muscles finally relaxed.

"I......I" he stuttered.

"Its okay, you don't have to ell me anything Eren, I don't want to know if you don't want to tell me," I spoke calmly and squeezed his hands reassuringly.
