Flightless Bird

Guitarist!Levi x Eren


This is my first time writing a song!fic so everything might be all jumbled up, but I'd love to hear feedback.


A chilly Saturday night, already past nine. A small apartment complex shone brightly through the windows of the city lights. Inside, a couple was enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, while snuggled up in fluffy blankets on the big, antique red velvet couch, drinking hot chocolate and just enjoying the time they had with each other.

"Hey...Levi?"

"Hm?"

"Can you sing me a song?"

"Why?"

"I want something that can make me fall asleep and...your voice is pretty soothing when you sing."

"...sure."

After that, Levi went to his office to retrieve his old guitar which was still in tune, though it hasn't been touched for ages. He of course, wiped it with a small towel, being the clean freak he is, while going back over to Eren. He plopped down onto the couch and arranged his position to start playing.

"Well, what do you want me to play?"

"It doesn't matter, any song you play makes me feel better..."

(AN: I don't know if links work here because I'm a noob but the song is called Flightless Bird, this song is from Twilight, I'm not a fan, I just like the song. Also the lyrics may not make any sense but I chose it because it sounded soothing. But I'll have some more notes down below.)

I was a quick, wet boy, diving too deep for coins

All of your street light eyes, wide on my plastic toys

And when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair

Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

The sound of melodious singing and guitar instrumental was like heaven to the brunette's ears, as he stared and swayed his head along with the song, smiling with a small tint of pink on his cheeks.

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

Or lost you, American mouth

Big pill, looming

Every once in a while, Levi looked up to Eren and giving a small, handsome, half smile while looking back at the guitar and batting his long eyelashes, making Eren blush but he still kept on listening.

Now I'm a fat, house cat

Nursing my sore blunt tongue

Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide

Fence cracks

Pissing on magazine photos(what.)

Those fishing lures thrown into the pond

And clean blood of Christ mountain stream. (I hope this isn't offending, just ignore it if you think it's offensive, sorry people.)

Levi looked up once more and this time, he kept his eyes on Eren, secretly admiring his form, seeing Eren resting his head on a small pillow, his eyes closed and a content smile on his face, as he softened his voice and let out a small smile.

Have I found you?

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

Or lost you, American mouth

Big pill, looming

He rested his guitar to the side while putting out the fire, and finally moving over to cuddle next to Eren. He kissed his forehead and wrapped his arms around the sleeping brunette and finally closed his eyes, drifting into the comfort of the night.

The End
