Sing for Me
Eren's P.O.V.
"Hey, Eren, I heard that No Name is coming to the college!" Armin called out to the sun-kissed boy.
Eren immediately dropped his lunch, turned to the boy, and his eyes sparkled. He ran up to Armin and excitedly screamed.
"Seriously?!" he jumped.
"Ja, Mikasa told me. She seemed pretty excited," Armin smiled.
"Wow! I can't believe it! When?"
"In a week, apparently. Mikasa already got three tickets, one for her, the second for me, the third for you," Armin annoyed, flicked the taller boy's head.
Eren rubbed his forehead, and ran off to his dorm. He slammed his door, and grabbed his phone and headphones. He turned on the creative music of his favorite band, No Name. He was listing to one of his favorite songs, Wake Me Up.
Wake me up when I feel cold,
Wake me up when I feel so-old,
Tell me, when should one react?
Could I attrra-aa-aact; could I atta-aa-aack?...
Eren hummed along to the lyrics, and felt the calm rock blasting off its rhythm into his veins. It's funny, even though Eren loved rock with all his heart, he also played a viola. Not only did a viola not suit him, but it also was a rare instrument among orchestra players. But, Eren went for the one instrument only six others played in his period, and rocked it like hell. Eren had straight, damn A's in the class! His passion towards music inspired many children, often playing for them at orphanages. He felt like he owed the kids, because he was an orphan, too. His late parents, Carla and Grisha Jaeger, both died in a car accident, only when Eren was twelve. He relied on his sister, Mikasa, who at the time, was only fifteen.
Eren opened his viola case, and grabbed the custom-made instrument out of its place. Blank and No Name where written all over the beautiful thing. It had mixed colors all over it, black turned into grey, then into white. Strong Titan Green splatters dressed the bow, which truly stood out when he was playing. They also made his own green eyes stand out.
As soon as the boy would start playing, everything around him seemed to disappear. His notes were powerful and loud, every single note standing out on the peaceful silence of the campus. Every head would turn to his room, and would see him tearing up, for he put so much emotion into his playing.
Let it reach them. Let it reach father and mother. Let it reach me. Let it reach... him.
The sound of Symphony No.4 by Beethoven sounded out, loud and clear. Even the busy professors, faintly heard the music. They sighed, knowing Jaeger, the best violist and worst student, was playing once more. As they boy reached the end, sweat fell off of his body in rivers. Tears were streaming down his face, as he breathed in deeply.
Knock, knock-knock, knock.
Jean was at the door, only he knew that code.
"C'mon in, horse-," Eren stopped, as he realized it was one of the professors was standing in front of him. Pixis. The drunk one.
"Uh, sir, how come you know that knock?" Eren asked suspiciously. Him being an idiot, he doesn't even say 'hi'.
"Haha~, your dear friend, Jean, I kicked him until he told me. Plus, I was going to ask you about your playing," Pixis smiled.
"Sounds like Jean," Eren scoffed. "And sure, shoot."
"How would you like to skip a grade or two? Since I am the lead-prof of the music around here, you might like that,"
"W-wow, sir, that sounds awesome! When am I switching?" Eren questioned, eager.
"Next semester. I wasn't able to convince your teacher to do it this semester. She loves you too much. And, another bad thing... You need to get your grades up before you get into my class, or I won't allow it. Got it?" Pixis jabbered out.
"Uh, okay...?" Eren sighed.
"Good! Have a nice day!" Pixis smiled, as he left the dorm-room.
Eren waved in reply, escorting the man out. So, that's how its going to be. Fine. I'll do it, Eren thought. He carefully tucked away his instrument into its case, grinning. As soon as he finished, he got right to work. Math, first.
~Timeskip, Eren's thoughts are unnecessary while he studies~
"Eren! C'mere!" someone throws a rock at his window.
Eren groaned, as he finished his last pieces of homework. "Yes?"
"It's Mikasa! Armin and I want to talk with you!" the black-haired girl yelled again.
Eren came down the stairs of his building and onto the first floor of campus. Before him, Armin and Mikasa were standing. Armin waved, Mikasa blushed, both saying, "Hi."
"Hey, I was planning to hang on my own, so I hope you don't mind. Not today, guys,"
Armin nodded, and Mikasa was about to protest, but Armin clasped a hand over her mouth. They both walked away slowly, picking up a conversation again. Armin seemed to remember something, and turned to Jaeger.
"Oh, and don't forget about the concert!" Armin yelled.
"Yeah, sure!" Eren screamed in reply.
A/N: Hi, my name is Angelwriter! I am huge fan of Ereri, and this my first story about it! I am not very good with romance, only humor really. So, I hope you respect me, as I write. Levi should appear next chapter, and if he doesn't, he will definitely appear in the next chapter. So please, don't bug me by asking, "Where's Levi? I want Levi! C'mon, Levi!" ect. He will appear when I want him to, or you can leave. I am not intentionally rude, it happens often. One more thing, if you see any mistakes, please kindly tell me.
And, in this story, Levi is the lead singer. He leads (no pun intended) the band with Hanji as drummer, Mike as bassist, Petra as secondary singer/electric pianist, Olou Bozado as backup guitarist/dancer and Gunther Schultz as dub stepper (Creates edits to the songs, giving it an echo/addition/drops/etc.) . Thanks again, everyone, I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it!
