Chapter 2: Reunion with an Unexpected Friend
"Here's to another completed day of work! And to Levi! Who turns 30 today!" They all raised a beer glass and cheered, Levi rolling his eyes and sipping his bitter drink. "I'm waiting for all the over the hill jokes. Go on bring 'em on." They all laughed, Mike patting the shorter man's shoulder. "We'll save those for tomorrow. So Erwin, you think you might want to take him now before we're all too drunk to walk?"
He nodded, chugging what little was left of his beer. "I'll drag him. You two get back to your apartments safely." Hange giggled, resting back into her chair. "Moblit is going to have a cow about me being out drinking. He thinks I drove myself here. Ha!"
They all chuckled, Mike standing and helping her up. "I'll walk you home first then. We live close to each other anyway."
They walked out the front of the pub and parted ways, Erwin and Levi heading towards a dark lit building, a heart shaped entrance lit up in bright pinks and reds leading inside where loud band music played. The tall blonde held open the door for Levi, who gave an exaggerated eyeroll once again. "You're being quite the gentleman tonight." He chuckled in response, following in after him.
"Well, this is a gentlemen's club after all." They seated themselves in one of the back booths, relaxing back in the plush chairs as they waited for a waiter. A blonde boy of roughly 18 or 19 years approached, a platter of filled wine glasses balanced perfectly on his right hand. He had gorgeous blue eyes and short blonde hair, a blue and black lace corset wrapped itself tightly against his torso, a feathered hip drape covered the back of the black panties and his thighs, while black fishnet stockings covered the majority of his legs. Both men couldn't help but be surprised at the tall high heels on his feet. They were at least 3 or 4 inches tall, but he walked as if they weren't even there. Like he was wearing normal shoes.
"Could I start you off with some wine~?" Erwin gave a nod. "That would be lovely. Like you." The boy blushed, setting down two wine glasses for them. Levi just stared at him. Why did he look so familiar?
"Pardon me but, what's your name?" He received a soft smile, one he'd seen a few times in his dreams. "It's Armin. My friend will be here shortly to ask what kind of "entertainment" you'd like this evening~"
Armin. Just like one of the boys from his nightmares. Maybe they were past memories, not just nightmares. Erwin smirked. "I might just ask for you this evening." He gave a wink to him, loving to watch Armin giggle and blush at the attention.
"Hope to see you in a bit then~" He gave a small wave and walked to the next table, offering some wine to the girls there. Levi sipped lightly at his wine, keeping his attention focused on the burlesque dancers walking about. If Armin was here, then maybe…
"So what can I interest you gentlemen in for tonight?" That voice. Only one person could own a voice that majestic and angelic.
There he was. The brunette angel from his nightmares, who kept saving him from the horrible creatures who would eat him alive every night.
He was clad in similar lingerie as the blonde, but it was green with intricate black lace designs on his sides, the hip skirt open in the front to show of the front of the black panties, the back of the skirt ruffled and interchanging between emerald green and pitch black. His stockings were green and black striped, and the heels were black and tall like the blonde's.
"We've got boys, girls, hermaphrodites, trans*...just tell me your fantasies, and I'll get you who you want~" Erwin grinned and downed his wine. "How about me and my friend here take you and the blonde back to the VIP room." The brunette grinned, emerald orbs glimmering with mischief.
"I haven't been shone a good time all day~ I'm for it~ I'll get Armin and meet you two back there~" He slipped his hand down the front of the corset and handed the raven a golden coloured card. "Give this to Remmy~ He'll let you past the velvet curtains~"
He walked away with a grin, hips swaying slightly as he walked up to the blonde boy, chatting him up about the VIP room.
Erwin and Levi stood up and headed towards the red velvet curtains, the raven showing the bouncer the card. He received a nod of approval and the curtains were parted for them.
Plush couches and chairs were in curtain separated rooms, all the furniture the same red rose velvet as the curtains. "I'll take the one on the left. You?" He shrugged. "This one will do." He pointed towards the one directly across from it. And with that they went in and closed the curtains, Levi lounging on the large couch.
All he needed to do was get his name. That was all he wanted to know, then he might be able to piece together his horrid nightmare. After a moment of absolute silence the curtains opened and the brunette slipped in, holding them closed behind his back. "So...did you have anything in mind?" He asked, blushing bright red.
Levi nodded, motioning for him to come closer. He did as silently commanded, stepping over to him as he slipped off the hip skirt. He settled himself onto the raven's lap, his legs on either side of the raven's hips and his arms hooked around his neck.
The older man settled his hands on his hips, lightly massaging the visible flesh with his thumbs and earning a soft sigh from the brunette.
"Tell me your name." The teen chuckled and pressed their chests closer, grinding against him softly.
"That's funny. Most of the people who pick me don't want to know my name." Levi leaned forward, nipping and kissing the boy's neck, making him moan quietly. "Tell me…"
He sighed, giving in.
"Eren."
