A music video with No Name. Oh God, someone was looking out for him from above. He was bouncing in place in the car as they were taken to Survey Corps HQ.

"All the details are being laid out there. I was told that they want you as a main, not an extra," reported Armin, going over the email. Eren stared dreamily out the window.

"It doesn't matter. I'm gonna meet No Name." Annie smirked, coming along for the ride to support him.

"You did meet them." He glared at her.

"Properly." She shrugged.

"That was definitely proper for a concert." He was going to strangle her. Armin finished the email and watched as Mikasa was holding Eren back from choking Annie. He sighed deeply. This was going to be a long day.

They were greeted by a team of people who Eren recognized as the security from the concert. The same woman stepped forward and bowed.

"Welcome to Survey Corps! My name is Petra Ral and we'll be escorting you to the music video room where all the details will be discussed. No Name is expecting you. We'll lead the way." Eren and Annie both had identical calm looks as they followed everyone to the music video room. They had learned to keep indifferent looks to prevent any sort of gossip between them from the media. The floor they entered was filled with No Name memorabilia and posters of tours they had done from the start of their career to now. Petra shot them a glance.

"Is there anything we can offer you to drink or eat? That way you guys don't have to eat and make a mess. Levi doesn't like that." Eren had heard of Levi's notorious demands for a clean environment. He smiled.

"I'm fine." He was too nervous to eat.

They entered the room and Eren almost squealed like an excited child when he saw No Name sitting at a large, circular table with a tall, muscular blonde man with his hair slicked back. His name was Erwin, manager of the band. Beside him was Mike, the man looking emotionless as he was smelling a bouquet of flowers offered by fans from the concerts. Hanji was chattering loudly with the group, the only one talking without stopping for a breath. And Levi was there. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with a few of the buttons on the top undone, exposing his collarbone. He never knew he'd be turned on by a collarbone. Levi's hair was in his signature undercut and neater than how it was at the concert. His face was far more attractive than Eren ever imagined. His skin looked smooth and pale now that he could see all of him. The bandages were gone to reveal his eyes. They were grey. He didn't think anyone could have that color. They were sharp like a knife as he spoke to Hanji, but they softened significantly when he turned to them. The blonde man was up on his feet in seconds, striding over with his hand out.

"Eren Jaeger, my name is Erwin Smith. I'm the manager of No Name. It's a complete pleasure to meet you." He shook Eren's hand, eyes widening as he smiled at Annie. "And Annie Leonhart as well! We weren't expecting you."

She smiled politely and nodded. "I'm here as support."

He nodded and turned to Mikasa, giving her outstretched hand a shake as she introduced herself as Eren's assistant. To Armin, Eren saw a gleam in his eyes. Dude, he totally thought Armin was hot. Armin was oblivious.

"And are you a model?" he asked, taking Armin's hand delicately. Armin shook his head.

"No, sir. I'm the one corresponding with you about this music video. I'm Armin Arlert." Erwin brought his hand to his lips. A flirty smile danced on his lips.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." If that wasn't flirting, Eren was going to pose nude. A growl sounded from Levi. Eren's spine tingled in pleasure.

"Erwin, leave him alone. You have more wrinkles than a grandpa." Hanji snorted and laughed wildly. Erwin didn't pause his smile as he stepped back and guided them to the table.

"Now, I heard you're a big No Name fan, Eren. I was gambling on that for you to join us in making this video. I hope you will be patient with us. It's our first time working with a beauty such as yourself." Eren smirked when he saw Erwin's eyes wander away from him.

"You know, Mr. Smith, I'm sure Armin's not the one in the video." Everyone smirked and chuckled when Erwin quickly looked away. Armin reddened and pretended to find something interesting in the wall. Out of the corner of his eye, Eren could see Levi smile. Just a little. His chest warmed. This was real. Levi was looking at him. Smiling at him. He could squeal. He cleared his throat. He had to focus.

"So, could we get to the details of the video? Who will I be playing?" Hanji was rocking in her seat, grinning from ear to ear.

"Yes! Details!" Erwin nodded as they all took their seats.

"So, you are going to be in a music video about a beauty that is almost untouchable, touched only by your lover who treats you like gold. You're enigmatic and spend your days with your lover who tries to figure you out more. In the end, you show how much you love them by sharing a dance." A dance. Oh God. He blushed brightly. Did he mean the dance from the concert? Oh God. Hang on…who was his lover?

"Uh-umm…who's the lover?" he asked, daring not to look at Levi. Erwin smirked, along with Hanji behind him. Oh God, he was gonna regret asking, wasn't he? Erwin straightened his back.

"Well, we saw some amazing chemistry you had with someone a few days ago." Give this man a whiskey and call him a Bond villain to match that stupid look on his face. He was teasing him.

Hanji sang some sort of fanfare (now he knew why she wasn't the vocalist), standing up and presenting Levi to him. Eren didn't know whether to be happy or hide. He was going to be Levi's lover. Even if it was just a music video, he didn't want to embarrass himself. Not in front of the person he liked. He looked at Levi, who had an unreadable expression on his face. But if he could guess, was Levi…content? Like he wanted to be his lover? Levi got up from the table and went to shake his hand. Eren almost squealed.

"We didn't introduce ourselves properly. I'm Levi Ackerman." His voice was so smooth. And he was talking to him…

But before he could think about it some more, Erwin waved for his attention.

"For the video, we'd like to do a few promo shots before the release. It's a way to advertise and draw some hype. So, we'd love to start now. The video shooting won't start today." Eren nodded as he was quickly led to a dressing room and swarmed by makeup artists.

"Mr. Jaeger! It's such a pleasure!" one designer cried, hurrying to open her makeup kit and work on Eren. He peered over. Waterproof makeup? He was pushed to sit in a stool as the designers were pulling out several outfits for the shot. Armin watched as the production team was setting up a bathtub and filling it with water. He frowned.

"I don't think you need makeup or clothes. There's a bathtub waiting for you." Eren raised a brow.

"A tub?" The waterproof makeup made sense now. He was distracted by the pokey artist trying to brush his lashes. He didn't like it when people other than Sasha did his makeup, who knew how to apply makeup on him without it irritating later on. Neither did he like working with photographers other than Connie because all asked him for more sexualizing poses he wasn't comfortable with. He was starting to miss their company. Before Armin could continue, Sasha sprang into the room with Mikasa. She shooed the artist away and set her tools on the vanity. Eren looked up in surprise.

"Sasha! What are you doing here?" he asked as she fanned out her brushes. She looked over her shoulder and grinned.

"Levi called Bertolt and had him send me and Connie over to help with the music video." Eren's chest warmed.

"Levi did? Why?" he asked. She shrugged, applying foundation to his face. Eren looked over at Mikasa, who was lost in thought. Annie shook her head.

"It doesn't matter. You have a job to do. It's not the time or place to pretend he likes you." Eren's hope plummeted. At her cruel remark, Armin nudged her.

"Annie, you didn't have to say that." She shrugged.

"Yes I did. He won't be able to focus." 'She's right,' he thought bitterly. But still, Levi rarely, if ever, appeared as a central focus of No Name's music videos. The songs, no matter how romantic, dark or sad they were, were acted out by other people as No Name appeared for several seconds at a time in a separate shot as they played instruments.

He let Sasha finish the makeup, dressing into the dress shirt and jeans handed to him by the designers.


He made his presence known as he strode out of the room, flanked by Mikasa, Armin, Annie and Sasha as he reached the producers who hovered around a smooth bathtub filled with clear water. Connie was setting up his equipment and grinned at Eren.

"Lookin' good! Just let me know when I can start!" Eren shot his thumb up and was surrounded by the producers and Erwin.

"We are honored to have you modeling for us," thanked Erwin. He waved him to the tub.

"If you please." Honestly, Eren had no idea why he was posing in a bathtub, but a great deal of his modeling shots were posed in ridiculous ways. Far to the other corner was Levi, who had his back against the wall as he watched Eren with the bandages around his eyes. Feeling a blush creep up his cheeks, Eren jumped into the tub and allowed the water to shock him from feeling turned on by how Levi looked at him.

"Play the music! We have to get him in the mood!" Eren rolled his eyes at them and dunked his head into the water, lifting himself up to let the water run down his body. Connie quickly took pictures while the music started playing from speakers mounted on the wall. It was a rock song by No Name, of course. Eren leaned back in the tub and put his arms above his head, giving the camera his best wanton stare. Connie ran towards him with the camera and snapped away.

"Dude, do the pose that got you famous!" ordered Connie, grinning at him. Eren smirked. He loved posing that way, but after years of modeling, it was starting to draw unwanted hate towards his look. It pissed him off.

"Every time I do a shoot with water involved, they want to see that. It's years old now! No one wants to see it again, based on what those assholes keep writing."

"I do," said a familiar voice. Eren froze up, going into the water until he was submerged to his chin. Levi was wiping down a side of the tub with a towel, tossing it to an assistant. He took a seat and stared at Eren with a small smirk on his face.

"I'd love to see it in person." Feeling his face warm up, Eren ducked into the water. Maybe if he stayed under long enough, Levi would go away before Eren could make a fool of himself. He could hear what was going on at the surface, but didn't dare to lift himself up. Did…did that mean that Levi thought he was hot? Many people had told him how beautiful he was, even counting those creeps who comment on his pictures from articles detailing what they'd do to him in bed. But this felt so much different.

"Oi, is this water clean?" asked Levi, his hearing muffled by the water. Why would he care?

…It's getting really difficult to stay underwater. He felt a hand reach the back of his shirt, lifting him out of the water. He took a breath of air, opening his eyes and was face-to-face with Levi. The vocalist smiled a little as Eren tilted his head up to look at him clearly.

"Can you breathe?" Eren gazed up at him, enamored with his gunmetal eyes behind the bandages. This was Levi. And he was looking at him. He was touched by him. It would be hard to get over this crush.

The camera shutter went off, taking him out of his thoughts. Surprised, he looked over at Connie with Erwin behind him humming.

"Excellent shot. Perhaps a few more pictures of the two interacting some more?" Levi shrugged.

"If he wants to with me." Unbeknownst to Eren, Levi was worried. Eren wasn't showing any signs of wanting to open up to him, clamming up and avoiding his eyes. Shit, maybe he was going too strong? He had asked for his friends to come because he couldn't shake off the feeling that Eren was uncomfortable. When he came out of the dressing room, he was confident and gorgeous. He was the latter in front of him, but wanting to drown instead of look at him? He felt awful. He thought that dance at the concert meant Eren was interested in him as Levi was. Shit. He was the problem.

For Eren, he didn't know how they were supposed to interact if he was blushing like a little girl around him.

"I-I'd like to." He looked up at Levi, whose eyes flashed in surprise before he looked away. Was that a blush tinting his cheeks? Erwin beamed at them.

"Excellent! Levi, go ahead and join him in the tub!" Eren's jaw dropped. They were going to be close to each other. And they were going to be wet. 'Ah! Stop blushing!' he scolded himself as Levi kicked off his shoes. He felt the water slosh around as Levi hopped in behind him. Hanji came charging in with a bucket, dunking it into the water and dumping water on Levi. The shorter man glared at her through the droplets clinging to his hair.

"You fucking bitch!" he cursed. She stuck her tongue out at him.

"I'm being helpful!" Eren began to giggle, trying to muffle himself so they couldn't hear. Levi noticed, turning red before he splashed a wave of water at Hanji, who squeaked and pranced off. Erwin frowned like a disappointed father, then patted Connie's shoulder.

"Go on." Connie held up his camera. On instinct, Eren propped himself up at the end of the tub closest to Connie. He gave the camera a sultry smile as he arched his back like a cat. Connie snapped away, keeping his mouth shut to stop himself from telling Eren that he was presenting his ass to Levi. The latter was focused on the sight before him. How he dreamed of this moment. He remembered the camera and looked into the lens, giving the camera a cocky smirk. Eren was his. At least for this video.

Hopefully in the future if Eren wanted to be.

Connie frowned later on as he continued to take pictures. He knew about Eren's crush on Levi. That could help with getting intimate, but goddamn Eren wasn't making any moves! Erwin had warned him that any dissatisfying pictures would harm his paycheck. Damn if he was going to let Eren take his money away.

"Eren," he scolded sternly, grabbing the brunet's attention. "You guys are supposed to be lovers. Warm up to each other, for shit's sake."

Eren glared at him, but he was right. He slowly turned to Levi, who was spreading his arms out and laying across the tub. He reached out and yanked Eren towards him, who yelped as he hit his chest. Eren's heart raced rapidly as Levi wrapped his arms around him, unaware that he too was nervous. But then again, this was a perfect time to pretend he and Levi were in love. Even though it hurt to know it would be seen at face value, he wanted to live out his fantasy just once. His arms lifted up and around Levi, his heart fluttering with joy. He turned his body to him and put his head against his forehead. Levi's covered eyes pinned his, his lips slightly agape. Eren tried not to squirm now that the jeans were tight around him thanks to the water. He leaned in as close as he dared to, their lips just a hair's breadth apart. He heard Connie whoop behind him, the camera going off several times.

"That's fucking hot! Stay like that!" Eren had to hold his breath to keep still, afraid of twitching or else he'd end up kissing Levi. A small chuckle escaped Levi's lips. Eren could practically taste it.

"You should breathe." Eren strained to whisper without moving an inch.

"I'm afraid to move." Levi's head tilted slightly.

"Do I make you uncomfortable?" Eren gave him a smile, gorgeous in Levi's eyes.

"Sorry, it's just me." He kept talking despite his brain shouting at him to shut up. "I've never posed with someone I liked before."

Fucking word vomit. Eren's eyes widened in horror. His mouth opened, stutters spewing out. He couldn't even explain or make up an excuse. Levi didn't budge an inch. What if he said something wrong? His heart sank, ready to drown himself.

But before he could, Erwin laughed aloud and handed them both towels.

"Excellent shots, you two! How about we take a break and-" Eren had already fled into the dressing room. Levi sighed deeply, standing up and staring longingly after him. Erwin pitied them. They were two dorks in love that needed to look past their crush to see how much the other liked them. He cleared his throat, flinching when Levi's sweet stare turned to a raven's glare.

"What do you want, Eyebrows?" Erwin tried to smile.

"So cruel. Even after I fought hard to get Kyojin to hand Eren over to us. Hitch, the swimsuit designer for Kyojin, wanted to skin me for stealing him. You should be more thankful that there's not a target on your back." Levi raised a brow.

"I sent you a bottle of whiskey as thanks. The shit was expensive. And now you're annoying me." Erwin was used to Levi's cruelty. As talented as he was, Levi was one of the hardest in the industry to deal with. He demanded freedom to write songs that he wanted and would not perform any songs written by some producers trying to paint his life ridiculously. He refused to act in his music videos because of the fake emotion behind the actors and the overly grabby hands that dared to come close to him. People were disgusting and he wanted nothing to do with them. God knows his rage would erupt when someone touched him with their filthy, bare hands. A producer had done that thinking they were being friendly (kissing ass and he had made it clear that he didn't want to be touched) and he wanted to cut their hand off and burn his jacket. Even his fans had to stay a distance away because he swore he saw drool coming out of their mouths during a meet-and-greet. Still, he appreciated his fans and always thanked them for their support, but he wouldn't touch them because only God knew where and what they were doing before. He couldn't imagine himself getting near anyone for the sake of romance. Touching people was bad enough, but kissing? Holding hands? Having sex? It disgusted him.

Until Eren Jaeger appeared. His photo erupted not only the hearts of the people around the world, but Levi's. Hanji laughed at him when he disguised himself to buy Eren's first magazine cover shoot with Vugue. At first, he was in love with Eren's gorgeous face and eyes that commanded attention. Then his scandal happened and he fell further in love with Eren's passionate personality, fierce attitude and radiance that glowed in every picture he took after. He rejected the visions of beauty from the norm of modeling to flaunt out his own. He promoted professionalism without taking away character, something Levi did all the time. Levi could sense bullshit and fake attitudes a mile away, but Eren wore his heart on his sleeve. He oozed sex appeal in the best way, promising a good time for many years opposed to one night of sin and passion. Levi wanted that promise.

Armin and Annie, the blonde friends from before, hurried over to them near the tub.

"Mr. Smith!" Armin called. Erwin smiled charmingly, bowing his head.

"Call me Erwin." Armin blushed brightly and turned away. Annie rolled her eyes at them.

"We're still in the middle of work hours," she said emotionlessly. Armin glared at her, then cleared his throat.

"About ideas for the video, we dug up some old material from the past." Annie was swiping through her phone, finding a video to show them. She turned it around and showed them a clip of herself dancing sensually in a camisole and bathrobe. Levi stared. She looked fine. But that's about it. She smirked.

"Now imagine Eren doing this." Hoh, now that got his attention. Armin beamed.

"Eren can dance very well. For a lingerie show a few months ago, the designer wanted all of the female models to learn how to do floor work. It's a nice dance that shows off your flexibility and the outfit. Krista was very shy and Eren offered to learn alongside her to make her feel better." Krista, the Goddess Titan of Kyojin. Levi narrowed his eyes. He had seen pictures of the two laughing and giggling over ice cream like a pair of children, but wasn't she a lesbian? He hoped.

"They seem close," he cut in, hoping he didn't sound as bitter as he felt. Armin didn't sense it.

"Krista admired Eren ever since his debut. When she started out, everyone saw her as an easy target. He stood up for her." Erwin's eyes sharpened.

"The reason why he left the top?"

"Yeah. Since then, she sees him like a big brother. Even though she has Ymir, she was distracted by the private instructor she had for her dance. Eren learned with Krista and boosted her confidence when she got scared." Annie nodded.

"Even though he wasn't supposed to be taking it seriously, he danced way better than the others, excluding me of course. He didn't have to dance at the fashion show, but we all had a party in the apartment and Krista told Eren to show everyone how she was supposed to dance. He looked amazing." The thought of Eren dancing that way was more than Levi could ever hope for.

"Eren can dance." It was a statement.

"Yeah! He's very adamant to not do that again, but he can be swayed. If you can get him into a mood, he'll be more than willing." A mood, like how he danced with him? During the concert, Levi was excited when Eren danced with him that night. But when the music stopped, Eren ran away. It hurt more than he let on. Because he wanted to be with him, Levi pushed for more, to show Eren that he liked him. He wanted Eren to see that.


In the dressing room, Eren was being changed out of his wet clothes and into a different outfit. Armin and Annie walked into the room with grins on their faces. Why? He hated it when Annie smiled.

"So, Eren!" piped Armin cheerfully. "We have an idea for how to make you sexier!"

Eren raised a brow. He was voted 'Sexiest Man Alive' for almost every year he had been active, beat only by Levi. He didn't have to try, he just was. Armin saw his reaction and sighed like Carla did when she needed to emphasize her point.

"I mean you need to look more like you want the attention. You have to seduce people behind the camera and make people see why Levi wants you. OH! And like teasing everyone if you belong to him or he belongs to you." Oh. Eren's mouth formed an 'o' while he nodded.

"How do you want me to do that?" he asked as he was changed into a large button up shirt and black short shorts. Armin nodded.

"There's changing your clothes. And also…" He looked over at Annie, who was grinning evilly.

"Dancing. And you know which way I'm talking about." Blood drained from Eren's face. Behind him, Sasha covered her mouth to mask her grin.

"W-which one of you told?" whispered Eren. They pointed at each other, making Eren grit his teeth.

"Do you know how much vodka I had to drink to dance in front of you guys? Unless you brought a bottle, I'm not going to have a great time in front of the camera!" Sasha tried to calm him, but she was shaking with laughter.

"It'll be fine! Just pretend that you're dating Levi and you wanna give him a strip tease without the stripping! C'mon!" she nudged him, "You really like him. Don't you wanna show him how much?"

Eren pouted. "Yeah…" He didn't want to screw things up. What if Levi saw him as some slut? No, his mouth firmed, he was going to show Levi him. Not some sexy face, him.

He strode out of the dressing room in the new clothes, gaining attention from everyone around him. They murmured with smiles on their faces and others looked at him in envy. Confident, he lifted his head up high and walked towards the busy area where he saw several people setting up a frosted glass wall no longer than a dozen feet and higher than ten feet on a platform. Erwin was directing people around as they set up, smiling over at Eren and waving for him to come closer.

"This glass is used whenever we make videos with rainy settings and such. With it, we won't see your face, but we can see your movements. Seduction is about suspense and showing off just enough to make them want more. Also, it gives you a little more privacy since Armin told me you might not like your face being seen when you dance." Eren looked over his shoulder at Armin, who smiled and waved enthusiastically. The brunet smiled charmingly at Erwin.

"Thank you. Is Levi going to be joining me?" he asked. Erwin shook his head.

"Not yet. But he will be watching. We want to build chemistry between you two. You look very attracted to him, but you need some more confidence. He's your lover, not your crush." Eren sighed. 'I wish that were true.'

Eren approached the glass wall, hiding behind it from the camera set up. Everyone on set was herded over to the other side to give Eren his privacy. He smoothed down his shirt, heart racing as he thought about how he would dance. He was promised music, but wasn't told what song it would be. Then again, he was told he danced well with Levi and saw the footage himself. He was all over him like an intimate lover. 'Don't screw up, don't screw up!' he hissed in his head, then got his cue that the music was going to start.

The song began to play, a calm, haunting piano melody vibrating through the speakers. Eren closed his eyes, letting the music take over his body and stretching to relax himself. The beat continued, Eren swaying his hips to it while the others stared transfixed on the frosted glass. His silhouette left little to the imagination, a hand running through his hair with the shadows accentuating his round bottom as he swayed while the other grasped the screen. He looked forward, his mouth agape as he breathed a cloud of fog onto the glass.

Eren felt alive with the music, feeling comfortable now that no one can really see him except his movements. It was fun to tease behind the glass, he realized with a smile. No one dared to speak, leaving him to do as he pleased. He turned and slid onto the floor, tucking his knees to his abdomen and sat up. Using his arms to support himself, he stretched his legs out and lifted his ass up, an enticing shadow seen in the glass by everyone behind the screen. He spread his legs apart and let his toes slide on the floor slowly as he moved his legs in a circular motion, using his ab strength to move himself up and down as he made circles with his legs. He breathed with each move, concentrated on making sure he was moving fluidly.

Pleased with the reactions he was sure he was getting, he pulled his legs under his abs and sat back up, ending the move by tossing his head back. He turned again and stood so that he was facing the glass, his hands splaying on the cold surface. One hand slid towards himself and up to his collar, slowly undoing the top buttons of his shirt. Some lights turned on to show more of his movements, but his face was still invisible. He smirked as the top three buttons became undone, letting the shirt open up on its own. This was way more fun than he ever imagined, happy that no one could see his face. But if Levi could, he thought that he wouldn't be shy. He wouldn't mind letting Levi see him this way. It was far less embarrassing than what he said in the tub. It was going to be all acting.

He twirled and rolled his hips against the glass, his hands running down his body as he lifted one leg up and crossed it over the other. He heard feedback from a megaphone go off, stopping the music and Eren.

"Eren, we're bringing Levi in so you can dance with him." Before he could blink, Levi was stepping up on the platform. To his surprise, Levi wasn't wearing his bandages and had taken off his trademark jacket. He was wearing his regular slacks and an identical loose shirt that wasn't tucked in. Eren blushed when his silver eyes gazed at him intently. But he quickly shook it off as he remembered the task at hand.

The music started up again and Eren glided towards him, his hips moving seductively as he reached Levi. His grey eyes narrowed and Eren found himself against the glass facing the camera. He sucked in a breath and shivered as familiar hands smoothed his stomach and his chest by going up his shirt. Eren suppressed his moan, opening his mouth and no sound coming out. He closed his eyes and focused on how good he felt, bracing himself on the glass and muffling another moan by sinking his teeth into his right hand. Levi leaned in and Eren felt his breath on his ear, a shiver running down his spine.

"Want me to back off?" he whispered lowly. Eren shook his head.

"No. L-l-let's keep going." Levi chuckled.

"Then touch me next." His hands left him, leaving Eren cold. The music continued to play, Eren moving rhythmically along and unconsciously touching his bottom to Levi's front. They danced for several more minutes and the song was quickly looped for them. Behind the camera, everyone was in awe except for Hanji, who looked like she wanted to explode in joy.

"They look so good together! Now I see why everyone is shipping them online!" Erwin and Armin stared at her in confusion.

"They're…what?" Hanji poked her tongue out between her teeth.

"Shipping! It means lumping them together as a couple. Look at that chemistry! You can tell they wanna have sex together. Man, I can only imagine what would happen if we release a clip of this." Erwin sighed. Hanji was obsessed with Eren for Levi's sake. She wanted her friend to be happy and Eren was the key to making that happen. But surrounding her in people who wanted the two together would make her obsession skyrocket.

"I'm limiting your internet use." She spent the next few minutes whining about it while ignored. But she did have a point. Their chemistry was excellent.

Eren and Levi continued to dance with way more touching involved then at the concert. Levi let him take over, Eren bringing him to the floor by pressing his shoulders down.

Levi lay on the ground, enamored with Eren's deep green eyes staring at him with lust. He held his breath sharply as Eren crawled on top of him, pinning his arms at either side of his face. His scent got stronger as he lowered his head until he was cheek to cheek with him, their skin barely making contact.

The music stopped and the megaphone went off, drawing them out of their trance.

"You two look amazing! There's nothing wrong, but we've got what we needed to make a teaser. We're done for the day. We'll work on making the video some time later this week." Eren sat back, panting slightly as Levi propped himself up.

"Good work." He smiled shyly.

"You too." He opted to get up, but Levi fastened his arm around his waist. A small smile stretched his lips.

"Would you like to get dinner sometime?" Eren blinked.

"Uh…why?" he asked lamely. Levi stared at him blankly, then smirked.

"To build our chemistry. Not just for the video." Unsure of what he meant, Eren simply nodded. He'd love to hang out with Levi even if it was just for work. He blushed as Levi pressed his lips to his hand, then walked off to Connie and Armin at the camera. He smirked at them.

"How's that for seducing?" he asked confidently. Connie slanted a look at him before reviewing the footage.

"You looked awesome." Erwin came over with coffee mugs, handing them the others.

"Jaeger, it looked like sex standing up," he said calmly, smiling at the mad blush on the model's face. "Your chemistry with him is superb. We can't wait to start filming tomorrow. There's no need to push for more, you two have enough tension going on that we don't need too much work."

Erwin was called away by several assistants, leaving the others alone. Eren hummed in thought.

"Funny. Levi asked if I would meet up with him later to build some." At that, Armin's eyes sharpened.

"Did he really say that?" Eren shook his head.

"Not really. He said it wasn't just for the video." Armin and Connie facepalmed. Why was Eren so dense?!

"Dude, please tell me you said yes! He just asked you out!" hissed Armin for no one else to hear. Eren blinked.

"W-what?" Connie shook his head, his mouth wide open.

"He wants to fuck you!" he wheezed, raking his hands through his buzz cut. Eren's eyes widened. No, it wasn't possible. Levi liked him? No way. He didn't do anything flirtatious to him that he noticed. Armin butt in before Eren could reply.

"He likes you, Eren. Your crush likes you. And you are going to go on this date and be romantic with him. In real life," said Armin slowly as if to hypnotize him. Eren didn't pay attention to him. His dreams were coming true. He met his favorite band, danced and seduced his crush, now he was going on an actual date with him.

He changed into his normal clothes minutes later and literally ran into Levi on his way out of the room. He straightened up when Levi grabbed him and helped him stand. The raven was smiling like he was happy to see him, his strong arms warm. How was it that someone so short had so much strength?

"Oh, hi! Umm…about that date…" He sounded regretful. Levi's eyes dulled as if the life had been sucked out of them.

"You don't want to go with me." Eren quickly shook his head.

"No no no! I'd love to. When did you want to go?" Levi's smirk was back. He was relieved and didn't want it to show too much.

"Whatever day you're comfortable with." Eren jumped in.

"Great! Tomorrow then." Levi looked pleased.

"Perfect." He let him go, Eren unconsciously missing his touch. "Do you want me to escort you to your car?"

The brunet shook his head. "Ah, no thank you. I have to wait for my friends."

He nodded. "Of course. But let me have your number so we can work out all the details."

Eren quickly pulled out his phone, his heart hammering against his rib cage. "S-sure!"


He stared at his phone from his couch, clutching his pillow tightly to his chest. The phone lay innocently on the coffee table, Armin and Mikasa staring at him from their spots on the couch.

"Text him already," said Mikasa. Eren defiantly shook his head.

"No way. I've been saying dumb stuff all day. The last think I want is to have it permanently written down." The other two looked at each other and sighed. They had noticed all the looks Levi was giving him, yet Eren couldn't. The dork. They jumped, Eren a few inches higher, when the phone rang to signal a new text. From Levi. Eren quickly peered over.

'Hey.' Oh yay, that's a nice start. He grabbed his phone and stopped when Mikasa stared at him with a pointed look. He pouted.

"What?" he asked defensively.

"You better not be texting him just 'hi.'" His pout grew.

"What's wrong with that?" Armin snatched his phone, ignoring when Eren tried to grab it back. Mikasa held him back while Armin typed away. He finished and showed him the message.

"'Hi! I was about to text you. Where do you want to go tomorrow?'" read Eren. His pout disappeared. "Oh, not bad."

Armin sent it with a smirk. "There. Now you can handle the rest without screwing up."

Armin was the best. Eren grabbed his phone back with a grin. "Thanks."

His phone rang again. 'Wherever you want. My treat.' Oh, he was paying too. How nice. Eren sent him some more texts and couldn't stop smiling for the rest of his day when Levi confirmed.


So sorry for the long delay! I had to beat laziness and a bout of sadness to get the energy and drive to continue my stories. About the song Eren was dancing to, I pulled inspiration from the song Crazy in Love, the Fifty Shades of Grey version. The songs are the only good that came from that movie. Next chapter preview:

"I don't find anyone else worth dating. It's actually been a long time since I've gone out with someone."

"You can come close to me if you're still cold."

"Do you kiss on the first date?"
