Eren fell backwards onto his bed as he breathed out a sigh of relief. His ceiling fan turned lazily above his head, somehow capturing all of his attention after his busy day. Eren's mind was racing to say the least; he couldn't stop thinking about the shoot he had just helped film.
"Eren?" A small knock on the door made him move his gaze from the fam.
"Hey Ar." He breathed out as the blonde opened the door slightly, giving his head enough room to poke in.
"How was your first day?"
"It was pretty good, I helped with sound, did some editing, met some of my coworkers." Eren's hands came up to rub his eyes as he fought a yawn.
The yawn didnt get past Armin who chuckled slightly under his breath, "tired are you?"
"I woke up at eight to get to work for nine." Eren paused for a moment, "that's only five snoozes before I dragged myself out of bed."
"Well maybe if you didnt sleep from three to three everyday you wouldn't be as tired." Armin jabbed. "I'm gonna make some dinner, would you like a real meal before you go to bed at a reasonable hour for once"
"Yes please"
Eren's back arched off the bed, lightly touching the body above his. He craved friction, anything to help him reach climax. His breath was heavy and his eyes were forced closed by the thick black fabric draped across them as he whined for his partner to do something; anything. "P-please." He cursed the handcuffs restraining his wrists to the headboard above him, keeping him from reaching out and touching the man.
"Eren-" the voice was loud in his ears, as if their mouth was right there.
"Please, don't stop!" Eren panted, desperately gyrating his hips the the beat of hard thumping.
"Wake up Eren," a deep, soothing, voice purred in his ear, before Eren sat up in bed, launching his blankets off his chest. Eren's phone filled his bedroom with dull vibrations from his nightstand as he squinted at the clock beside his bed; it read 6:45. "Who the fuck is calling me right now…" He mumbled as he leaned over to grab the phone, ignoring his obviously large boner that was straining against his cotton boxers, begging to be rubbed.
"'ello," Eren rasped into the phone, his voice clutching onto sleep.
"Good morning to you too Eren!" A boisterous voice filled his ears and he knew it could only be one person.
"Hanji, its 7 am…" Eren sighed, why was his crazy boss's boss calling him at this hour. He wasn't due to be in the office until 9 and there's no way he could have fucked up so badly on his first day that Levi had wanted him fired… hopefully.
"It's actually 6:45 Eren, the time I always grab coffee in the morning at this great little place around the corner from me, you should definitely check it out some time with your friends, or girlfriend, or boyfriend! Hey whatever way you swing is a-okay with me!" She cackled in his ear and Eren winced, holding the phone a few inches away.
"Sounds great Hanji, will do." He breathed out.
"Anyways the reason I called!" Oh god please let there be a good reason. "I need you to pick up some things on your way to the office!"
Eren's eyes blinked a few times, trying to rouse himself enough to remember what his boss's boss was about to say. "Okay let me just grab something to write this down with..." Eren scanned his room for a pen and paper or… something to write on something else with
"No problemo! So tell me, how are you liking the company so far!" Hanji continued talking, but Eren placed his phone on the bed so he could get up and look for a notepad. Scanning the floor, he realized that there really wasn't anything in his room aside from clothes, on clothes, on dirty clothes.
"I really need to clean all this shit up" he whispered to himself. Giving up on his search, he sat back on his bed and reached for this phone. He could hear Hanji having a one sided conversation with herself, so he pulled up Notes on his phone and got ready to jot down whatever she wanted him to do. "Hanji, I'm ready." He said.
"Oh perfect!" He could almost hear her smile. "I need you… well Levi needs to you… oh well I guess I also need-"
"Hanji" Eren breathed out lightly, not having the mental capacity to deal with her right now.
"Whoops there I go off again!" She laughed once more. "I need you to go down to our supplier to grab some props for a shoot I'm planning today! I normally would have Levi do it but he said he had to bring his cat to the vet this morning so it's all up to you! We have a deal with a shop down the street from us, Leather and Lace, so just go on in and tell them Hanji sent you!"
"Okay Hanji, sounds good I'll see you at 9." Eren didn't wait for her to say goodbye before he locked his phone and threw himself back onto his bed. "One more hour of sleep please."
Bells chimed as Eren slowly pushed open a door to a shop with black windows. He had not fully processed what Hanji was asking him to pick up this morning since his brain was still half asleep when she called, but with the nature of his job, Eren shouldn't have been so surprised to have been sent to a sex shop.
"Good morning!" A small girl with red hair in two pigtails greeted Eren from the counter. "How can I help you!"
"Oh," Eren hadn't expected such a cute girl to be working here, she didn't look much older than he did. "Im here for Survey Corps Video, we have a shipment?" He questioned.
"A new performer?" The girl looked him up and down so fast Eren nearly missed it before his face turned as red as her hair.
"N-o no no no!" He laughed awkwardly. "I do tech.. I record video and edit sound and stuff."
"Oh so then you must be Levi's new assistant!"
"Oh, um, you know Levi?" Eren ran a hand through his hair nervously.
"Do I know Levi? Of course I know Levi anyone who is anyone in this town knows Levi!"
"Oh-"
"Don't worry about it sweet cheeks, you'll pick everything up real fast. Though it's a shame I won't be seeing you on Survey Corps anytime soon, I already thought of twenty-five products I would have loved to sell you." She winked. "Anyways," she typed something on the computer next to her, "I have everything Hanji ordered in the back so just wait here a minute and I'll grab it all for you."
"Okay thank you!" Eren said before she disappeared past the doorway behind the front desk. Eren turned around and looked at all the items lining the walls of the shop. It was a fairly small shop he thought, not that he had any other sex shop visits to compare this one too… But it was nice. Dark purple paint covered the walls, along with a huge selection of dildos in every color and size one could imagine. Eren walked down one aisle, aimlessly looking at sex toys as he waited.
When he got to the back of the store, Eren had to fight back the heat rushing to his face, and his groin, all at once. He stared at a collection of 'clothes' on racks, if you could even call these tiny pieces of fabric that, organized by color. He flipped though a few just for kicks before spotting a leather bodysuit that looked like it would barely fit a size 0 model. Eren pulled on one of the arms and wondered how anyone would get into something like this.. And more importantly why they would want to wear something like this Flipping though a few more clothes, Eren wandered, waiting for the girl to come back with his shipment. Taking a few steps, Eren caught himself in the mirror and paused.
If anyone had asked Eren where he thought he would find himself a few years after college.. It wasn't in a sex shop shopping for his job at a porn studio that was for sure. There he stood, looking straight out of high school, wearing the same clothes he always did. He was always the shy kid in the back of the class wearing plaid shirts, skinny jeans, and a beanie. Nothing had changed through college either, he would be surprised if anyone other than Armin actually remembered who he was. He was used to flying under the radar; behind the camera.
Eren reached up and touched the bangs that poked out from under his hat. What was he doing here; working in a porn studio, shopping for adult toys. It was almost laughable. The blushing, quiet, virgin Eren. Too afraid to talk to any girls, any boys, or anyONE for that matter.
"I think I got it all!" The girl emerged from the back with a rather large box in her hands, placing it on the counter as she called Eren.
He walked to the front of the store, "wow… that's a lot of things." Eren said.
"Hanji will make rather large orders every now and then. Usually two times a month, so we'll probably get to know each other." She chuckled lightly. "Im Isabel, nice to meet you," she held out her hand.
"Im Eren." Eren shook it, smiling at her. She really was a lovely girl, Eren wondered how she got a job at a sex shop. He had always assumed it was creepy old men who worked in places like this.
"Okay Eren, Im going to need your help on this part." Isabel handed him a sheet of paper. "I'm going to take something out of the box and you're going to help me check it off, here's a pen." She grabbed a pen out of a cup on the counter, and handed it over. "Okay first here's a Slim teardrop Bullet in clear," Isabel placed the small box on the counter as if this was a completely normal conversation. "Turbo Glider Vibrator in raspberry red, Glass Icicles number five in seven inches, a couples vibrator in aqua blue, anal beads in black, a butt plug in purple, and a gallon of lube." Isabel looked at Eren as he finished checking off the paper. "Got everything?"
"It looks like it." Eren smiled "Thanks for your help, I should really get going."
"I hope you have fun at your new job," Isabel commented as she started putting the toys into the big box she brought them out in. "If you ever need anyone to vent to about the stress of it all feel free to stop by anytime. I'm a great listener and I can take a break basically whenever I want to since I own the shop." She smiled warmly.
"This.. is your shop?" Eren looked as surprised as he sounded.
"Yup!" She giggled. "I've been in this business for a while so I can give you lots of pointers, don't be a stranger okay!"
"I'll see you around Isabel." Eren grabbed the box and made his way to the door before he heard one last thing.
"Call me Izzy! All my friends do!"
"Oh just wait five minutes you worrywart! Your precious schedule will be perfectly fine if its off by a couple of minutes!" Hanji slapped Levi on the back as he paced around the set. "Sasha, you don't mind waiting do you?" Hanji asked the girl who was sitting on the foot of the bed, eating a cheeseburger in her white robe. She shook her head.
"Five minutes, five minutes!?" Levi stopped walking to stare at the brunette woman. "Hanji it was five minutes, twenty minutes ago. That dumbass is nearly half an hour late and what do we have to show for it?" He asked. He looked over to Sasha, and back to Hanji. "Without an actor, there's no scene, without a scene there's no video, without a video there's no uploads, no uploads no views, no views no audience, no audience no money, no money no studio. So i'm sorry if my schedule is getting in the way of your models fucking around and being late all the goddamn time." Levi threw his body into a nearby chair.
"Erm… Levi?" Eren asked timidly from the seat beside him.
"What is it Brat, don't tell me you fucked up the sound on your second day." Cold black eyes bored into Eren's soul and he swallowed the spit in his mouth.
"No, um, I wanted to know if you needed anything? Maybe a coffee or something? I can run down the street." Eren regretted opening his mouth. Offering to do a coffee run? While his boss was about to chop off his boss's head? Great move Eren way to go.
Levi looked at Eren like the boy had two heads. "I don't drink coffee," was all he said.
Hanji played a game on here phone as silence filled the studio. Sasha's chewing could be heart lightly but it was apparent that even she felt the tension in the room. Eren wasn't quite sure what to do. He had already placed his shipment he had picked up this morning in a rather large closet that was already filled with toys in boxes labeled with people names; he assumed those were the actors and he was glad there was no sharing of toys. "Matcha latte with soy milk" Levi broke the silence.
"W-what?" Eren had barely heard him.
"I don't drink coffee but I'll take a matcha latte. Fuck I could use something to calm down." Levi placed his feet on the floor and raised his hps off the chair, sliding his hand behind him to slip his wallet out from his back pocket. His shirt rolled up a bit, exposing the skin above his pants and Eren had to hold himself back from gawking at the 2" of skin that were there just for him. Levi slouched back into the chair once his wallet was free but the image of the top of his hip bone was already permanently etched into Eren's brain, and he willed it to never leave. "Here Brat," Levi handed him a $10 bill from his wallet. "Grab yourself something too and hurry back before the actor gets here. I don't want to want any longer to shoot this scene." He breathed in a low tone, strangely familiar to Eren.
Eren blinked for a few seconds, unsure of what to do. "I'll be right back." He didn't look at Levi as he grabbed the bill from his hands, and hurried off to the coffee shop.
I can't have a crush on my boss. Eren thought to himself as he walked down the street. He said we're not allowed to date anyone and besides even if we were he's my boss! And who knows if he's gay! Who knows if I'm gay… fuck. But assuming he was-
"fuCK" Eren felt himself falling backwards suddenly. His mind stopped racing as he his the ground, unsure of what had just happened.
"Oh my goodness are you alright!" A voice above him said as he felt something grab his hand.
"Yeah, dont worry about it… I wasn't watching where I was going." Eren looked above him at the girl who was holding his hand. She had strawberry blonde hair and she was short, almost as tall as Isabel, and her eyes were so kind.
"Let me help you up, here, here." The girl pulled on his hands and helped Eren to his feet. Brushing himself off, he turned to the girl.
"I'm sorry i wasn't looking." He apologized again. "Have a good day." He moved to walk away, but the girls hand on his arm stopped her. "Please, let me at least buy you a coffee…." She smiled sadly at him. "That's where you were going, right?" She looked at him, and flickered her eyes away to the coffee shop a few stores down.
"Oh that's not necessary, I'm on a coffee run for my boss and he really hates when people are late so I better go-" He waved at the girl as he continued walking. "See you around!" Eren ran into the starbucks on the corner, and quickly ordered two drinks. He put the rest of the money from Levi in the tips jar, thanked the baristas, and left the store.
"Im Petra by the way!" A voice scared Eren as he opened the door.
"Jesus-" Eren nearly dropped the two drinks. "Are you following me?" He asked.
"N-no!" Petra stuttered. "I just.. Felt so bad and you were going to Starbucks so I figured I would introduce myself... Sorry was that creepy."
Eren couldn't help but laugh, the girl was more awkward than he was. "Don't worry about it Petra. Im Eren." He looked down at the two coffee cup in his hands and realized he couldn't shake her hand, so he settled on a smile. "I'm sorry but I really have to go now, my boss will be angry if I'm late."
"I'm sorry for knocking you down!' Petra yelled as Eren walked away. The doors to Starbucks chimed and an older man in a green apron walked out.
"Petra, didn't you just clock out? What are you still doing here go home."
"Yeah yeah," she waved her hand. "I'll see you tomorrow Oluo."
"Petra, dont go falling for that hipster boy now."
