I am a waiter.
Working in a small café just so I don't have to go home.
Why you ask?
Well let me tell you something.
I'm gay and my family found out about it.
My mum was very understanding but my dad….
Let's just say he kicked me out until I cure myself.
Like that can happen.
I always knew I was into men.
In high school I had a crush on this boy named Jean.
I thought I was bi but I knew I wasn't.
I'm not into girls at all.
Anyway Jean never found out, which is ok.
Imagine if he found out.
He would probably call me all sorts.
Names like, fag, fairy, gay boy, queer etc
Those was the names my dad called me.
He is just upset because I was engaged to Mikasa.
Well to be honest, I am still engaged.
I want to break it off but I can't.
My dad is a boss at his company and marrying Mikasa would make the company stronger as Mikasa dad is a boss too.
Mikasa doesn't know I'm gay.
Dad said if I tell I would be dead.
I don't know if he is telling the truth but I am not taking any chances.
The door chimed in interrupting my thoughts.
"Eren a customer, go serve him" my boss said.
"Right away Hanji"
I got my notebook ready and walked up to the customer.
It was a man.
He was studying the menu and didn't notice I was there waiting for him.
He looks gorgeous though.
But I bet he's not gay.
Stop it Eren, stop thinking about the customer.
"Hello sir, may I help you" I smiled politely.
The man looked up and stopped for a moment.
…
Why is he not saying anything?
Is there something on my face?
I am starting to feel uncomfortable.
"Sir"
He noticed the silence and cleared his throat.
"Sorry, I was just memorised by your eyes, such a beautiful colour"
I felt my heart beating.
"Don't worry about it sir"
The man gave me half a smile.
"I would like a strawberry cake with extra cream and a coffee please"
I nodded.
"Certainly"
I wrote down his order and walked to the desk.
"Armin, take this to the Reiner"
"Sure Eren"
…
…
…
I was busy with the other customers when Armin called me.
"The order is ready"
"Thanks"
I walked up to the man and placed his plate and his coffee on the table.
"Enjoy sir and take your time"
"I will"
I briskly walked away and headed to the kitchen.
Why do I feel funny?
It must be me.
Time skip
I was helping in the kitchen when Hanji came up to me.
"The customer who ordered the strawberry cake would like to speak with you"
Huh
Why?
Wait a moment.
Don't tell me, he has figured that I was staring at him before.
I was starting to feel nervous.
But I mustered up the courage and face him.
Then I saw him.
He was looking left and right like he was waiting for someone.
When he noticed me, he stopped.
"Is there any problem sir"
He shook his head.
"Of course not, I am going to give you a tip"
Oh
I wasn't expecting that.
"Thank you very much"
The man got his wallet out and gave me 50 pounds.
I am shocked.
"This is too much sir, I can't possibly accept it"
He chuckled.
"Don't be silly and in exchange tell me your name"
…
"May I ask why?
"I would like to know my waiter name if you don't mind"
I see.
"I'm Eren"
"The name is Levi and I think life is about to get interesting"
What does he mean by that?
Anyway I accepted my tip and started to clear the table up.
Levi stood up.
He is going to go home now.
Why do I feel sad?
I was surprised how short Levi was.
He was smaller than me.
But he clearly looks older.
Levi put his coat on and turned to me.
"Thank you Eren, you made my evening enjoyable"
What
"Come again sir"
"It's Levi and I will come back"
When Levi walked out my heart was beating rapidly.
What does this mean?
I love the paring of Eren and Levi so I decided to make a fan fiction about them. Please tell me what you think of this chapter. Thanks
Until next time :)
