A brunet, A raven, A song Chapter 1
tuturu~~ XD hi guys and i bring you, A brunet, A raven, A song! It's an idea i had when i was watching Detective Conan 12th movies so yea, music stuff related. Special thanks to Luke-Lindsedt-san since well, i was struggling with a thingy in the story and he helped me! But i don't think he knows, but i'm going to put a thanks here anyways~ Another Ereri fic, and yea, AU where Levi is a pianist and Eren is a piano tuner! Have fun reading...
Eren casually walked down the familiar corridor in the mansion of his special one, admiring the structure and decorations like always. It's like every single time he came here, the mansion always looked different. More beautiful and more elegant. The brunet kept walking until he saw that door with the special design thats different from all the other doors. The door that lead to the room he and his special one would always spend almost an entire afternoon in.
A beautiful melody could be heard drifting around the mansion, and as usual Eren stopped outside and leaned against the doorframe, relaxing himself and enjoy the soothing melody played by the man he has loved for almost two years now, and still madly in love with. The brunet's smile faded and a confused expression appeared on his face when the melody suddenly came to a halt. A deep, cold voice resounded within the quiet mansion.
"If you're here then hurry up and get in here. I don't have all day."
"Eren sighed gently. I got noticed again huh?
The brunet slowly twisted the doorknob and walked inside. A small grin crept up his face at the sight of a slender figure sitting at the grand piano, back turned.
Levi stood up casually, but in Eren's eyes it was filled with grace. The raven turned around, usual emotionless expression gazing up at Eren. He frowned and kicked the brunet, grumbling something like "you're too tall…" Eren smiled gently, not minding the kick at all and pulled Levi into a hug, tight but filled with love. Levi didn't speak, only responded by hugging the brunet back, enjoying the warmth of another body.
The two had been lovers for two years now, a pianist and a piano tuner. Levi had called up the number by suggestion of Hanji saying their services were top-notch and had great pricing, then Eren came. The bright smile on his face made the raven's heart move a little, but soon it was forgotten. The first few times, they would chat casually while Eren tuned his beloved piano. Then one day, he confessed.
"I love you, Levi-san."
Nothing fancy, nothing especially romantic, just a simple I love you. Of course levi rejected him straight away, saying they're both guys and he wasn't interested in romance right now. But when he caught a glimpse of Eren's expression filled with pain, something changed. Since it was only for a split second and soon replaced with a usual bright smile, the raven thought it was just his brain messing with him. Ever since though, Levi started thinking about the brunet from time to time, his gentle smile, his tall well-built body and those slender fingers of his used for tuning.
Then it happened. One day Levi had gone out drinking with his old friends Hanji and Erwin. Normally he wouldn't go, but the constant thinking of a certain brunet annoyed him. Erwin as usual, no matter how much he drank he kept that warm smile, Hanji got drunk after three cups and started blabbering nonsense. The raven was a bit drunk too, but he was the quiet drunk and just kept sipping his drink. In the end, Erwin decided to drive Hanji home and call up someone to pick Levi up. The only other contact Levi had besides him and hanji in his phone was a person named "brat".
Even now, remembering how it began, Levi would smirk at how under guarded he was, but he never felt much regret.
He could remember minor details of that night, It was something like Eren bringing him a cup of cold water, then his body's sensors wasn't working properly, thus having a hard time to drink the liquid. Levi then heard the brunet mutter something like "Excuse me…" From that point on, the only things he remembered was a pair of gentle lips on his, the feeling of something cold sliding down his throat, low and husky whispers of his name and the body warmth of a man close to his. Levi pretty much figured out that he's in love with the brat, but a man like him, admitting his feelings took another two weeks. He still remembers the smile on Eren's face, and tears of joy rolling down the side of his face. Stupid brat.
"Levi-san…" Once again, just like the voice he used two years ago, Eren whispered into Levi's ears and lifted his face up. Emerald eyes stared into raven eyes and they closed at the same time, then their lips met. The brunet have gotten better at kissing again. It's something Levi could always tell, how the way Eren's tongue moved differently every time and how it explored the raven's mouth made him shiver slightly.
"I called you here for tuning my piano, not for making love." The two separated, and the first thing Levi said instantly turned off the mood. Eren smiled awkwardly and let go of Levi, then headed for the cupboard where he always kept his tools. He'd stopped bringing them since his visits were pretty often. Sometimes when he was tuning the piano, he'd smile at Levi, since he realised that the piano wasn't really out of tune at all. Levi-san really is cute!
"Say Levi-san,"
"Hmm?" Levi sat legs crossed on the piano seat, sipping the special blend of tea Eren made for him and reading some random magazine about piano music. He looked up at Eren, then back down at his magazine.
"Your next performance is…soon right?" Eren paused a little during his sentence, but continued. The raven raised an eyebrow at him, but ignored it and replied.
"I think it's in a week. Why?" This time, Levi put down his magazine and his tea, focusing on Eren who was now testing the piano's sounds, making sure it's not out of tune or anything. After a few plucks and pressing keys, he smiled satisfyingly at his work, then turned his eyes to meet pure black ones.
"Nothing. Just curious."
"Is that so…anyways, do you have anything after this?" This brat seems out of it today...
"Well I'm finished already, but no I don't have anything important to do. Why?"
"I'm too tired to cook since that stupid Hanji made a mistake in my timetables and I had to fix it all by myself this morning. Later go out shopping and make something for the both of us."
"If Levi-san comes with me then I'll go." The raven glanced the brunet's way with piercing eyes, but they soon softened at the bright aura Eren was giving off and he sighed.
"Fine. We're leaving in five minutes so you better hurry up and get ready brat."
"Okay!"
Sorry Levi-san. But,
This might be the last meal I'll cook for you…
This is not going to end sadly i promise! No! Anyways yea, i hope i'm getting better at grasping Levi's personality and stuff, but we all improve so i guess i shouldn't worry too much. Chapter two might be a while since, well i'm kinda sick right now and yea, school is still going on so i'll try to update it within a week, but if not i'll just work hard and update ASAP! As usual,
Thanks for reading! I'm TheFallingSakura, ciao~~
