Soooooo... Hello there.
There's some things I want to point out.
Firstly: I don't know how this story is going to go. If I'll make it funny or sad. If I'll add smut or just fluff (I would prefer smut;)) So a lot of this story is up to your reviews and opinions and ideas and such. So feel free to tell me what you think!
Second: This is the only time I will give you song titles (probably) So in the future you can decide what kind of music they are playing.Or if you have a request for a song I'll see what I can do :)
Third: I got this idea when I was reading a fic called Stripped by Yuki kiryuu so go check it out!
The songs I chose were what I think Hanji would listen to
The school hall was full of people as usual. People kept bumping into Levi and of course no one stopped to apologize. Levi was thankful for the headphones he had just gotten from his aunt because they helped to close off the real world. He was holding a few books against his chest as he made his way down the hallway. He was on his way to the music room where his next class was.
Levi wasn't your "usual" high schooler. He was wearing a dark blue beanie and his white headphones. His black dress shirt was buttoned all the way up and covered with a big grey hoodie that's sleeves were too long for him. The black jeans he was wearing were pretty tight and were ripped around the knees in use. The shirt was tucked in and a leather belt was holding the jeans tightly on his small hips.
As he walked into the classroom he noticed everyone was already sitting in their seats and the teacher was taking roll call. Levi lowered the headphones to rest around his neck, the music he was listening now blasting on full volume for everyone to hear. He could care less and calmly pushed the pause button on his mp3 player as he walked over to his seat. He placed his bag on the floor next to his chair and sat down placing the books and notebooks he had on the desk.
"Okay! Levi has finally showed up so we have everyone here" The teacher's voice was really loud in the big classroom. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun. Her name was Zoe Hanji. To Levi she was the most annoying person on earth. He sighed and leaned back on his seat.
"I have an announcement to make!" Hanji called out. "The school is holding an opening ceremony to the students and the new principle of the school. So! I have been asked to get some kind of show going during the dance. That means I'm going to need volunteers to play in a band!" She walked before the class and smiled. No one raised their hand. "Okay…Okay… I know! Immediate A's for the volunteers!" After that there was a yell from the back of the classroom: "I volunteer!" It was Eren Jaeger. He was really bad at school so getting an A from music was a big deal for him. Of course because Eren volunteered, so did Mikasa and Armin.
"Great! Now come here and let's discuss a bit. Rest of the class dismissed!" Hanji smiled. As the class stood up and stormed out the door Hanji caught Levi's arm. "You're not going anywhere, mister." She led the shorter boy back to her desk. "You know what we agreed on last year, don't you?" She didn't let go of Levi's hand. He just grunted. "You promised to perform this year for not failing you last year, right?" Levi sighed heavily and went to stand next to the other students left in the room.
When Hanji was pleased with the submissive attitude of Levi, she continued on. "Well then. Who do we have here? Tell me your full name and the instrument you are interested in playing. If you would like to start." Hanji pointed at the blonde haired boy who was standing between Eren and Mikasa.
"My name is Armin Arlert and I am interested in playing the guitar, miss." Armin stated so formally it almost looked like he was saluting the woman. Armin's blonde hair was tucked behind one ear. He wore a basic long sleeved shirt with a print on the front and a pair of black sweatpants.
Hanji wrote the name down in her little notebook. She then nodded. "Great! Then…Mikasa!"
"Mikasa Ackerman. Keyboard." She said calmly. Her long hair was braided loosely and she was wearing a white t-shirt that had a black collar. The shirt was tucked in a pair of blue jeans. Hanji again scribbled it down and gave a nod to the next person.
"Jean Kirstein. I play the guitar and if you need a DJ I'm the guy you're looking for." The boy said. He was the tallest in the whole room. The sleeves of his hoodie were cut off exposing his toned arms.
"Connie Springer. Drums." Connie said looking at his feet. He had a T-shirt with plain jeans
"Eren Jaeger. The Bass guitar and vocals" Eren said maybe a bit too loudly.
After that there was a silence and everyone turned to look at Levi who looked amusingly irritated. Finally he sighed. "Levi. And I'm-"He started but Hanji cut him off: "-Going to sing!" She smiled and wrote it down.
"Excellent! Now then... I'm thinking three songs to dance to and then a few songs for the slow dance at the end of the night. Sound good?" She didn't give them time to reply and just stormed in to the room where she kept the notes and guitars and such. The students just stood there not knowing what to do. After a while she came back with a pile of notes and lyrics.
She placed all of the papers on her desk and turned to smile at the six of them. "So the songs I've chosen for you are…" She took six paper sheets from the pile and handed them over to the students. "Whipped cream by Ludo! A classic." She took the next notes. "I believe in a thing called love by Darkness…" Eren and Jean snickered but Hanji didn't mind them, handing out the next notes. "…and All that I've got by The used!" She smiled turning to look Levi in the eyes. They exchanged a look. Levi was very irritated but walked to his desk.
He picked his bag up and rummaged it's insides for a second before finding what he was looking for. He was holding a piece of paper with something written on it's both sides. Apparently lyrics and notes. He brought it over and gave it to Hanji. She looked it over and her face lit up. "This is amazing, Levi! I knew you were talented in this kind of thing, but this is better than expected." Levi just growled in response. He was so pissed but there was really nothing he could do. Hanji did let him off easy last year and now he'll have to make up for it.
"Okay people!" Hanji placed the notes on the desk after reading them through. "Take the notes to 'All that I've got' first and we'll test out how you guys work together. Eren and Levi! Figure out who sings what." She said with a wide smile on her face.
Jean and Armin went to pick up the guitars and started fiddling with the amplifiers. Eren picked up the bass guitar and Connie went to sit behind the drums. Mikasa placed the notes on the piano and started playing the melody quietly.
Levi went to stand next to Eren after picking up a few microphones. Eren was sitting on top of the amplifier fiddling with the bass and laughing with Armin. He didn't seem to notice Levi standing before him. This annoyed Levi and he kicked the boy gently in the shin. "Yo." He growled. Finally Eren's gaze traveled up Levi's body to his eyes and he smiled. "Hey." Oh god. He's so cute with that face and that shirt and that hat and his eyes are so beautiful and… "You sing the verse and I sing the chorus. Deal?" Levi interrupted Eren's sort of indecent thoughts. "Sure…" Eren responded still lost in his thoughts. So much so that when Levi left to set up the mic stands he was left staring at the place where Levi's eyes once were.
"Everyone ready?" Jean's voice broke through Eren's thoughts. He blinked a few times before placing the bass guitar strap in place and stood up so he could sing in the mic. When he did so he found that the mic stand wasn't adjusted to his height. It was as low as Levi's and Eren snickered as he adjusted it to be five inches higher. Eren received a glare from Levi and couldn't help but smile. "Yeah. Ready."
"One. Two. Three" Counted Mikasa and she, Eren and Armin started playing. Connie banged the drums and Jean joined in with a heavier guitar riff. When Eren started singing the song calmed down to just Armin and Mikasa playing.
"So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me." Eren wasn't the best singer around, but that didn't mean he was bad or that he didn't surprise everyone in the room. "I need something else. Would someone please just give me? Hit me, knock me out and let me go back to sleep." Eren finished his part and the song boosted up for the chorus.
Levi licked his lips. He was nervous. He had never sung in front of anyone before and he didn't know if he could get a sound out of his throat.
"I'll be just fine pretending I'm not. I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got." He was relieved when his voice bubbled out clear and on note. He closed his eyes singing the rest of the chorus, just wanting it to be over.
It was the most beautiful sound Eren had ever heard. His mouth fell open slightly as he turned to stare at the source of the angelic voice. He had trouble keeping up with the song and he almost forgot to sing when the second verse started.
