But anyways you guys have been asking for a new chapter so here's a new chapter ^.^
Forgive all the grammar, spelling, etc (DO NOT TELL ME ABOUT THE MISTAKES I OBVIOUSLY KNOW.)
(Rin's POV)
She's been blowing my phone up for weeks now.. it's summer. The seniors have all graduated. We are on summer break. Eren is still suspicious. Of course he is, he's my fucking twin and I haven't told him anything. Would it be wrong of me not to say anything since I know?
I would have understood if she told me but why string me along? Why make me think that I was getting to know someone I already knew…how much of it was a lie? Was the supposed friendship she wanted with me real? Was those supposed feelings that she might have a crush on me real? And I told her all about me…I mean…I told M…but M is Mikasa. FUCK! How could I not notice it was the fucking Ackermans? We hung out with them everyday in school and didn't suspect a thing!
Why did they lead us on? All that personal stuff I told her…and I'm just letting him continue to do that to Eren. Ugh! Shaking my head trying to break myself out of my inner monologue I need to tell Eren. Getting up from my bed, walking out my room straight across the hall to Eren's knocking on his door. "Bro?"
"Come in!" He yells to me.
I take a deep breath pushing his door open, stepping in and closing the door behind me. I walk over toward his bed and sits down next to him. "I should tell you why I wanted to leave the party early. I know it's been weeks since then but..I couldn't tell you before. M…" I look at him. He looks up from his phone with a big smile on his face. He must be texting Levi…Shit I can't do this to him. "I just got real nervous and weird around all those famous people, you know M kept getting whisked off and I had no idea where you were, I just wanted to go home." Fuck it hurts my heart to lie to my twin but I…I can't take his happiness away.
He puts his phone to the side of him, sitting up and pulls me into a hug. I hug him back just as tight. "It's okay." He says with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry you couldn't find me, next time i'll stay next to you all night!" His blinding smile never once leaving his face.
Just looking at my twin, the guy he admires lying to him. I sigh to myself a little. I guess it's time I actually talk to her…
— ( Time Skip ) —
To: Mikasa.
We need to talk. Meet me at Maria Cafe in 20 minutes with your brother.
Read at 2:30PM
From: Mikasa.
We'll be there.
Rin finishes getting dressed. Grabbing her purse, phone and house keys walking to the front door. "I'll be back Eren! I'm going to the store and then to get some coffee from Maria Cafe, text me what you want!" She yells up to her brother. Erin walks out the door closing it behind her and locking it. She starts making her way to the cafe.
Erin makes it to the coffee shop in 15 minutes. Walking inside the cafe, going up to the cashier. "Welcome to Maria Cafe! What can I get you?" The cute blonde girl asked.
Erin smiles at her. "I would like a iced mocha coffee with caramel and whip cream. Also would it be alright if I ordered a to go order now? That way I can just get it and leave when i'm done?" Erin asked her.
"Of course no problem. The second order then?" The girl asked politely.
Erin pulls out her phone seeing what Eren texted her. "A caramel brûlée latte with one chocolate croissant, one cheese danish, two apple fritters, four chocolate chips,and coffee cake!"
The cashier takes her order writing it down on the piece of paper for herself to remember. "That'll be $15.70 all together." she smiles. Erin is about to pull money out of her purse when some slides a $20 to the cashier.
"Add two earl grey teas to that. And please it bring it to our table." Mikasa says smiling nicely to the cashier.
"Of course, i'll be over with your drinks shortly." The cashier looks at Erin. "And when you're about to leave just come back up to the counter and I'll give you the rest." She says handing Mikasa back her change.
"Thanks." Erin muttered out before following behind Mikasa to the table where Levi already sits. When they make it to the table Mikasa sits next to Levi, Erin slides in the booth seat across from them.
Erin clears her throat. "I guess I'll get right to the chase…" Erin had to think for a moment. She honestly had figured it all out who was who in No Name now. Now that she knew it made fucking sense. "You both talked to us daily. You have two fucking phones. Texting as M and Rivaille. Then texting us as Mikasa and Levi. We told M and Rivaille are true honest feelings, yet you both just sat there and continued it. I'm pissed, and hurt and and…I don't know. I thought I would want to hear your excuses as to why you just couldn't be truthful with Eren and I." Erin pauses when the cashier brings them there drinks. Once the cashier is back out of ear shot Erin continues. "I'm not telling Eren your little secret. It's fucking killing me not to tell him. He's my twin you know. We don't have secrets, and I know that when he finds out I know and I didn't tell him…" She almost gets a little choked up.
Mikasa and Levi both stare at her, feeling completely guilty. Mikasa bites on her lip looking at Rin knowing how hurt she really looks. She wishes it didn't happen like this, she wished she just told her but she can't take it back now…
"He might hate me for it…anyway." Erin tries not to think about that. She then looks at Levi with a fierce determined look. "I'm giving you two weeks to tell Eren who you really are. No Name goes on that world tour in four weeks. You have two of those four weeks to tell him before I will…"
Levi eyes are a little wide he doesn't even try to hide it. He had to tell Eren. He…He had to tell Eren…how was he going to tell Eren. How could he tell Eren.
"Rin…two weeks isn't enough…c-can't it wait? Levi gonna be busy with the tour…and then school…I-I mean…" Mikasa stutters out.
"Look. I'll tell Eren. You weren't suppose to find out at all actually. That's all on Mikasa's part. I'll tell him…" Levi says.
Rin furrows her brows at Mikasa. Her eye twitches a little. "You want me to go on about this lie for another year? You want Eren to keep being pulled along by your bullshit?!" Her voice raised a little but she quickly recovered it. "We would have understand if you told us. You sat there claiming M, and Rivaille had feelings for us. PERSONAL feelings. I…you got two weeks." Rin doesn't even want to speak to them anymore, she barely let them talk and she was just over it. She got up and went to the counter getting her orders to go quickly. She just walks out keeping a fast pace.
Mikasa ran after Rin catching her. "We couldn't tell you or your brother Rin believe me, we wanted to tell you. We couldn't! It's a secret we have to keep. We've been doing this for years and nobody knows except for the people who been here since the beginning of our careers. When we're M and Rivaille…it takes us away from the real world and we get wrapped into music. When we're them we can express ourselves better.." Mikasa tries to explain.
Rin furrows her brows even more. "It doesn't matter, that's the thing. If you would have just told me before I actually caught feelings for you…"
"We had to be sure we could trust you…" Mikasa mutters.
"I understand…I…" Rin sighs. 'I can't believe this.' She clears her throat. "I forgive you because I understand and I guess it doesn't change who I know…i'm still upset but I get it." Rin looks away a light red coming to her cheeks. "I like Mikasa…not M by the way." Rin smiled. "I won't tell Eren…he's going to hate me but…he does deserve to know."
"Y-you like me?" Mikasa stares at Rin in disbelief.
Rin shakes her head and laughs. "I bet that is the only thing you caught…but yes." Rin kisses Mikasa's cheek. "Gotta go!" The brunette turns around walking away fast.
Mikasa stands there with her hand on her cheek, a blush coating her cheeks with a smile. She puts her hand over her heart, it's pounding so fast she afraid it might burst.
—(The Next Day…Later That Night)—
From: Levy Wevy
Get dressed…picking you up in 30 minutes.
Eren looks at his screen with wide eyes.
To: Levy Wevy
You know it's like 9 PM right?
From: Levy Wevy
Your point? Just do as I say brat.
To: Levi Wevy
I'll ask my parents…you're so demanding asshole -.-
From: Levy Wevy
You like it though, don't front ;]
To: Levy Wevy
Such a loser..sigh .
Eren gets up from his bed rummaging through his closet. He picks a very simple outfit. He put on a grey long sleeved crop top with high waisted jeans and ankle high boots. Even though it was summer it was kind of cool at night so he just wanted to be sure. He fixed up his hair trying to make it look so not messy. He shrugs picking up his side bag and putting it on, he opens to check if his wallet and keys are inside and they are. He walks out of his room walking down the stairs. He walks into the kitchen where he can hear his family. Carla's parents and siblings were still here.
"Mommy. Levi said he's picking me up, is it okay if i go out with him for a bit?" Eren asks.
Carla looks at him and pretends to think about it. "Hm…it's not a school night…you don't have a job…you did the chores…so I suppose you could." She smiled at him. "Just text me or call me if you're not coming home."
"Yes mama." Eren walked over to his mom kissing her on the cheek then over to his aunt , uncle, grandma, and grandpa giving them all kisses on the cheek.
His phone starts ringing soon as he gets to the front door, he picks it up. "Yeah yeah i'm coming Levy.." He snickers to himself hanging up on Levi and walking out the door. Soon as he finishes locking the door someone comes up from behind him, turning him around, lifting him up and throwing him over their shoulder.
"Levi!" Eren squeals out. "Put me down!"
"Nah, you called me Levy…"
Eren pounds on Levi's back. "Leeeeviii!" Eren whines some more. After about two minutes he just gives up. He's only aware of himself being put down when Levi opens the car door.
"Call me Levy again and it'll be much worse than this."
"HMPH" Eren gets inside the car crossing his arms. "So…where you taking me?"
Levi sighs closing the door on his side and starting the car. "Taking you on the wildest adventure I never thought I would do…"
Eren looks over at him wondering what he meant. He shrugs his shoulders looking straight forward putting on his seat belt as they pull off. He takes Levi's aux cord and sticks it into his phone going to his favorite playlist and pressing play.
Do that, do that
Do that, do that
"Oh my god my jam!" Eren face lights up to the song playing. He starts singing along to the song.
Heard you got a tough life
Yeah, someone loves you but you don't love 'em back
Oh, what a fucked life
Waiting to reciprocate but you never act
Levi looks at Eren wiggling in his seat and singing along with the song. He know he should be watching the road, but once in a while his gaze slips over to the beautiful brunette in the passenger seat. Finally he reaches a red light. He fully looks at Eren now so into the song. Levi is a little enchanted. 'The brat completely captivates me..' he thinks to himself.
You don't do that (No)
Give someone else the Oscar
You won't lie like a coward
Eren feels eyes on him he turns his head to see Levi looking at him smirking a little but this doesn't stop him from singing to the song and wiggling. He points at Levi playfully singing the song to him.
But it's so damn hard
When he's staring in your eyes saying
"Baby, you got some super powers"
Yeah, he's staring in my eyes saying
"Baby, you got some super powers
Baby, you got some super powers
Baby, you got some sup-"
"Oh? Dedicating this song to me?" Levi asked Eren smugly. He smirks at the brunette turning his eyes back forward and driving off.
Eren crosses his arms and puts on a pout. "I was singing to you but since you wanna be an smug ass about it…I was directing it to someone else!"
Levi laughed at Eren. Genuinely laughed out loud…loud enough Eren for once heard it. The brunette's heart did something weird…it didn't beat for a second and then it did. 'Did my heart just skip a beat?' He thinks to himself. 'Levi's laugh is…something i want to hear all the time.'
"L-Levi did you just laugh?" Eren asked tentatively not wanting to ruin this beautiful moment of Levi actually smiling. Levi looks over at Eren giving him a quick smirk then looking right back at the road.
It usually takes an hour to get into the actually city of Trost especially in the day time with traffic but it was night and not a lot of people were driving to the city because they were probably already there. So it only took Levi 30 minutes to reach the city. Levi parked in the underground garage in the spot he always parked. Eren looks out the window wondering why they're parking there…or where they were at really. He had zero idea, he wasn't worried but curious. He trusted Levi.
"So…where are we?" Eren asked Levi.
Levi didn't answer Eren and just got out the car knowing the brunette will follow him. He hears the passenger door close and foot steps right behind him, he closes his own door and locks the doors. He walks over to the elevator, knowing Eren is right behind him. The doors open and he steps in with Eren. Levi presses floor 14. Eren raises his brow keeping his eyes focused on Levi.
"Levi?" He called out to him.
Levi didn't answer him. He couldn't answer him. Levi was trying with all his might to breath in and out. He didn't want to do this but he knew he had to. All too soon the elevator hit floor 13. Finally after the intense silence Levi didn't look at Eren but simply said in a deeper voice he knew Eren would recognize. "If I wasn't who you thought I was…would you hate me?"
Eren freezes. He knows that voice. How does he know that voice? Eren laughs for a moment. "Y-you almost sounded like Rivaille." Eren tried brushing it off as a coincidence.
The floor dings on 14. That was the longer 30 seconds Levi had ever experienced, but he knew it was just gonna get worse from here. The doors opened and he stepped out. Eren was right behind him, he knew it. Levi walked up to the door and opened it. It was a studio with a piano, drums, guitars, microphones. On the other side of the glass was where all the other recording equipment was. Eren was thoroughly confused as to what was going on. Levi pointed at the couch that was facing the window and the piano and a microphone. Eren sat down hesitantly.
"L-Levi? What's going on? Why are we in a studio?" Eren asked him.
Levi sat down at the piano and spoke in that voice Eren fucking knew. "I'm going to ask you one more time Eren…If I wasn't who you thought I was…would you hate me?"
Eren furrows his brows. "Why do you keep asking me that? S-someone else asked me that same—" His words were interrupted when Levi started singing and playing the piano.
A drop in the ocean a change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
it's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
but i'm holding you closer than most cause you are my heaven.
Eren freezes just listening to that voice. He couldn't fucking believe it. He just stared at Levi as he played the piano and sang. That raspy but kind of deep voice. A voice that reminds him of a fucking god. He just stared at him.
I don't want to waste the weekend
If you don't love me pretend
a few more hours then it's time to go
And as my train rolls down the east coast
I wonder how you keep warm
It's too late to cry
Too broken to move on
And still I can't let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
Levi keeps playing the notes but he looks away and looks right at Eren. The brunette stares at him in shock, he can see it in his eyes. He takes a deep breath and goes back to playing the song. He closes his eyes hoping the way he's playing and singing conveys all that he's feeling to Eren.
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
Its like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Shock just wasn't one of the words Eren was feeling. This is one of Rivaille's oldest covers…Only his fans know his version of it and this is Rivaille's version the exact way…the same piano in the video as the cover…'Levi is…Rivaille?' Eren says in his head.
Misplaced trust and old friends
Never counting regrets
By the grace of God I do not rest at all
And New England as the leaves change
The last excuse that I'll claim
I was a boy who loved a women like a little girl
And still I cant let you be
Most nights I hardly sleep
Don't take what you don't need from me
Levi loses himself in the song at this point. He thinks about Eren's smile, the cute blush that covers his cheeks whenever Levi teases him. The way his heart skips a beat every freaking time he just looks at the boy. He just admitted the biggest secret to Eren. Nobody but everyone in the group and his family knows who he is. He was going to wait. He wasn't ever going to tell him but the guilt.
It's just a drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my
He looked over at Eren again and he saw it. He saw the pain in his eyes in those gorgeous treasures he saw all that he was feeling. It broke Levi's fucking heart but it just made him sing harder. He wanted Eren to understand he didn't mean to lie. That wasn't his intention at all. The guilt and the feeling of loosing Eren is what made him tell him now because he couldn't keep it going. He oh so badly wanted to, that was the fucked up part. Levi wanted to never tell Eren he was Rivaille.
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore, no no
Heaven doesn't seem far away
Heaven doesn't seem far away anymore, no no
Heaven doesn't seem far away, oh oh
Levi has never sang this hard with this much emotion ever. This was the only way he could convey how sorry he was for hiding this, for pulling this facade for so long. Levi loves the brunette and he wanted him to know. He wanted him to know all those messages and all those things Rivaille said to him were his words…because that's truly how Levi felt.
A drop in the ocean
A change in the weather
I was praying that you and me might end up together
It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert
But I'm holding you closer than most 'cause you are my heaven
Levi stops playing the piano at this point but sings the last part acapella.
Oh, You are my heaven
Eren stared at him. 'H-he was Rivaille…t-this whole time?' Eren asked himself. He didn't know what to say. What exactly was he supposed to say at this moment? He seriously didn't know how to feel right now, sure he was in shocked. Was he mad? A little bit he was. Did he hate Levi? Of course not. Just why didn't he tell him?
"Y-your Rivaille?" Eren stutters out finally.
Although he asked it as a question it sounded more of a statement to Levi. The raven however took a deep breath and looked right Eren. "Yes."
"I…" Eren's whole face turns red. "Y-you k-know about m-my crush…on R-Rivaille…w-which i-is you…y-you know how I feel a-about m-my friend L-Levi…a-and my other friends…I…" Eren didn't know if he should be pissed off or embarrassed. He did however know he felt a bit hurt but he understood but…Levi lied to him…Rivaille which is Levi…Levi knows how feels about Rivaille…Rivaille essentially knows only some of his secrets…He trust him but he was talking to someone who wasn't him.
"I don't hate you Levi…" Eren spoke softly. "I told you that day…at the party…even if you weren't who you really act like…you are always going to be you. So to answer your question. No. I don't hate you, I could never hate you." Eren truly doesn't know what to feel, but the one thing he does know. He wants to go home and sleep. "C-can you take me back home now?"
Levi nods his head getting up from the piano. "E-Eren…i'm sorry for not telling you."
"I'm sure you are…i'm sure you are." Eren mutters.
