Scenes On and Off Screen
"CAPTAIN WE HAVE TWO ON THE RIGHT AND ONE ON THE LEFT" Petra said as she landed in a roof. "Take the one in the left, I'll take the two on the right." Captain Levi said as he jumped from a roof and headed to kill the two titans, flying through the air and making a spinning maneuver he directed his blade and made a neat cut to one of the mannequins who will later, and with the help of the special effects crew would soon become a titan. The other one was left…..
Eren was bored out of his mind, but being the main protagonist and not being the captain of the team was unfair. He now sat in one of the stools with secondary actors as he watched a scene where Petra, Marco and Levi where playing. What does a girl like Petra have to offer in that scene, just a lady making Levi a hero at the moment, Marco was a cool guy, he had not looked at him in a distasteful manner when he first joined the crew and last Levi Ackerman, French Rose actor and model, he tend to swap on both and was well known, Eren couldn't deny the guy was sexy in every way, and wearing a tight uniform as he flipped through the air could almost make this time a bit more bearable….
Glaring to the right Eren saw the other member of the crew chatting at the appetizer buffet that was always offered to them. It had mini hamburger, fruits, a chocolate fountain, sushi, French fries, tuna and cookies, desserts. He could not deny he would love to go and eat everything but there were some problems with that.
The others didn't like him, that was clear.
He had been gaining weight and his parents had lashed out on him for that.
Nothing the where serving was good enough for him to actually swallow.
Just in time, a secondary actress looked at him and blushed before looking away. It was a woman red hair and big green eyes, if he remember her name was Isabelle. He smirked as he felt her get closer maybe wanting to talk and hook up with him. Before she could say anything though he exhaled and looked at her with big innocent eyes, "I'm kind of hungry but I just don't want anything thats on the buffet, I can't eat all that garbage, I wish I had a salad with humus and salt crackers at the side." Pouting without making any eye contact with the girl he smiled lightly as he heard her say, "Oh! I'll bring it to you" before she left the set.
15 min later
"Has anybody seen Isabelle Magnolia she is up next." The first scene was done Petra could have done much better in his opinion, she looked out of place many times, Marco was ok though he tended to stutter and Levi well, the old man had talent that much but he was better model than actor. His stomach grumbled, were had the girl gone to a salad and some hummus shouldn't take that long.
Said girl came up running to him and stood panting as she handed a salad and some hummus with crackers, some members watching the exchange. She smiled, "There's the salad-"
"Did you put peanuts in it?" Eren interrupted as he eyed the food. "Ah well yes, peanuts are delicious and very healthy I also put on vinegar oil, the store-"
"At the store? ….. I'm not eating it." He said uninterested. "What about the hummus and the salt cookies?" he said eyeing the can already expecting the answer. Isabelle now looked disappointed and in a small voice she said "st-store"
Eren glared at her… Shaddis came up form behind, "GIRL! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN, YOU ARE LATE FOR THE SCENE DO YOU WANT TO GET FIRED? BECAUSE IF THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT YOU SHOULD LEAVE NOW!"
"Director Shaddis I'm sorry it won't happen-"
"Stuff it girl you are out."
She looked almost ready to cry and glanced hopefully back to Eren, who didn't even acknowledge her, she noticed he had placed the food in the floor beside the bench. He could feel glares directed his way, nothing new… he kept on looking forward until something caught his attention a black mop of silky hair and metallic grey eyes with tints of blue. Levi Ackerman picked the food and started eating the salad. Eyeing Eren and turning to the director.
"Director Shaddis I believe you should be aware of the food certain actors eat and as you can see neither of this food Isabelle brought is on the buffett, which means she had to go buy outside because you didn't care to treat your actor with respect… I believe she is not to fault but yours, am I right." He said arching a perfect eyebrow to the now nervous and ashamed director.
"Eh yo- you are correct Mr. Ackerman, I guess you are right, I beg your pardon Isabelle I hope we can come up with an amendment, I will also include the salad, hummus and salt crackers on the buffet."
Eren scowled at the scene beside him, but soon his eyes widen when he heard steps and the other crew members gathering…
"Director Shaddis, can we have fruit punch please?" Petra said sweetly.
"I would love chicken wings!" Connie added.
"I guess some tomato parmesans would be good." Annie added in a quiet voice..
And so on the made their petitions to the overwhelmed director as Nile tried to keep up writing the new menu. After they finished Shaddis sighed and turned to Eren who still sat in the bench looking uninterested to the whole ordeal. "Mr. Yeager would you like to add something to your liking for the new menu?" Shaddis said in a kind fake manner.
"I won't eat any garbage you bring in here, just leave it for the rest." He said as he stood up and left, leaving a confused director, glaring members and a scowling Levi behind.
He turned to Isabelle and thanked her for the salad as the others shared the crackers and hummus. She smiled widely and went on set.
Levi could not say he hated the young actor, there was something off with Eren indeed, and it was not just his mood right now. As he acted his scene he constantly glanced to the brat when he wasn't the main focus, he could see Eren wasn't with the others, and decided to seat in the bank near the filming scene but rather than the other actors who just stared with admirattion at Petra, Marco and himself, he could see Eren kept on a calculating gaze as if though assessing each skill they possessed, noting every fault and checking every detail either from their performance or from the filming crew. The boy was after all raised in an all-actors family, moved form Maria with his family to Sina and had been put in the best acting school.
He may not hate the brat for his mood swings or sharp tongue, but toying with other's career and acting as if he rule the show business was not anything he would tolerate for long...
