Pulling up to the strip club, the raven couldn't believe his eyes.
Levi immediately noticed that it was a fucking gay club. This was strictly taboo. An officer being spotted in a joint like this? Immediate disrespect and spit on his shoes.
The DJ chose a spot like this to perform? Wouldn't that hurt his career? Unless the DJ was gay-
Levi couldn't understand that. Being homosexual was seen as a curse; people were spawned by the devil.
The raven didn't bother locking the car. Homo's aren't the same as straight people; they are wired a little differently, Levi thought.
They wouldn't try to steal his car. What if he had to make a quick exit? He wasn't going to risk it. Shoving the keys into the pocket of his dress pants, he stood beside his vehicle while taking in his surroundings. He was beginning to feel his 'Captain' facade slide back into place, his stoned face only moving with purpose.
Placing a finger on the device, he allows it to beep to notify the others he is about to begin the operation. Information from earlier in the commander's office comes flooding to him.
*Earlier before Hange messed up Levi's clothes putting on the communication device*
Hange was already in the commander's office when Levi entered the room. They were preparing something Levi didn't know of.
Erwin looked up from his desk and he was welcomed by the sight of Levi. "Ah, Captain, you're finally here." He stands up from his chair and he comes around to lean against the wood. Hange was beside him, preparing something that looked like a box?
"I have some information for you, about the DJ." The commander takes a pause, crossing his arms over his chest. "My investigation team found additional information for you; this might help you with your mission. "Crippler" is about 23 years old and he's been involved with the music industry for 6 years."
Levi stands in front of the pair and he listens to his commander while his eyes wander. He peers over at what Hange was doing, their movement being slightly distracting to the raven.
"We suspect him due to his growing popularity. Celebrities or people of power can influence their audience into bad behaviors without much persistence."
*Back to present*
"Captain Ackerman on site. Investigation of 'DJ Crippler', also known as Eren. The suspect is 23 years old. An automobile is parked in front of the facility. The club appears to be for homosexuals; I have not seen any women on site. Operation commencing." Levi released his finger and separated from the safety of his vehicle.
Levi patted his backside, finding his wallet; noticing the giant man that stood by a door, he knew that was the bouncer.
Big motherfucker.
For such a taboo place, it was easy to find. It was well hidden if you didn't know where to look.
Places like this need to be hidden unless you want to be beaten to death.
Over the years of being in the FBI, he's learned that there are subtle signs homosexual's would use to show their sexuality. Like in parks, specific areas may be reserved just for gays, but the typical eye of the public wouldn't know. The officers that patrol those areas would often find homo's taking it up the ass at the back of their car at night.
Levi started to feel vibrations come up through his feet. He came up to the bouncer and the muffled sound of the bass from inside woke up his senses.
Back at his headquarters, Erwin and Hange could hear everything through his microphone.
"ID." The tall man with a fat palm came into view. Without question, the raven pulled out his ID, showing the man that he was of age. The big man looked over Levi's form, eyeing him. Cold eyes drilled holes in the man's face, not appreciating the hungry look in his eyes.
Fucking fags. Levi sneered to himself.
"You may enter." Levi snatched his ID away from the man, stuffing it back in the slit of his wallet. Folding the leather together, he placed it in his ass pocket again.
"Keep your damn eyes to yourself." Levi shoved past the big guy, shoulder-checking the bouncer as he passed by with force.
The raven reached out towards the club doors and pushed them open.
'Abba - Dancing Queen' - 1976
Disgust overtakes his face as his senses are immediately assulted with the smell of sweaty bodies, the smell of alcohol, and body odor.
"Fuck, it's disgusting in here." Silver orbs try to adjust to the flashing lights, it could cause anyone a goddamn seizure.
Loud music came from a stage on the right corner of the room.
"Ooh, see that girl, watch that scene. Digging the dancing queen."
The stage had a big disc table, there were large bass speakers beside it. Even though music was coming from the stage, no one occupied it yet. The music was hideous to Levi, he didn't care for pop music and how uppity it sounded. The raven found himself enjoying artists like, 'Pink Floyd', and 'Lynyrd Skynyrd.'
I want to see them live… I've never been to a concert.
Levi could feel his throat go dry. Licking his lips he made his way to the bar, passing by drunks that were grinding their bodies against each other. Already? It is two in the fucking afternoon, folks, it isn't even rush hour and yet; so many people…
Levi felt something click in his head, like a lightbulb turning on. He didn't realize till that moment. These fags think I am here to suck their cocks. They think I'm gay.
The raven's eyes glance around, looking to see if anyone was staring at him. Throwing these thoughts away, he sat down on a wooden stool at the bar. A man without a shirt, and tight ass short shorts came up to him.
"Whatchu need, munchkin?" Brown eyes looked into Levi's cold ones. The kid leaned on an elbow and his eyes practically undressed him. "You're a cute one~"
The blond on top of his head was a little curly and his cheeks were pink; either from looking at Levi or from the heat inside the club. This kid was eating the Captain up with just his looks.
Levi's lip curls up in absolute disgust. "I'm not here for you, fucking get me a beer." Levi didn't like beer. He liked soft drinks, ones that didn't get him hammered right away.
Bile was coming up his throat in absolute disgust from these men trying to fuck him with their eyes.
"We like feisty ones~" The boy's heated gaze remained on Levi. The guy didn't even get scared from Levi's death glares. Maybe he was used to this type of behavior. It wasn't uncommon for 'straight' men to come into these types of bars. Levi knew he was straight, and that logic didn't apply to him.
Levi reached into his wallet and he pulled out some coins for the drink. "Captain, Ask him his shift hours." Hange's voice went through his ear piece and he keeps fucking forgetting people were listening to everything he was doing.
Levi raised his orbs to the blond man, he watched the can of beer being placed in front of him. The boy took the offered coins off the bar table. Levi cleared his throat loudly, capturing the attention of the bartender. Levi's chin raises up, feeling confident and authoritative.
"Hey."
Brown eyes meet up with him and the boy comes close again with a slight smirk on his face, knowing Levi wanted to say something. "How often do you work here, kid?" Wrapping slim fingers around the aluminum can, he brings the drink up to his thin lips, his eyes peering over the cap. This caused the boy to flush deeply and he leaned over the bar again.
It was loud in the room, he had to get close to hear the officer's words and respond to him. Looking down the line at the bar, the bartender noticed only a few other guys sat down, it wasn't entirely too busy so he had time to chat; especially with a little cutie like Levi.
"I work here five days a week, sir. Nothing on the weekends. Why? Do you want to get together sometime?" The boy winks at Levi and the dark-haired man tries to hide his repulsion, trying to keep himself composed and act his role. For the mission. I have to be like them. At least for a little bit.
"Just seeing if I had any time in my schedule for you." The raven drinks down another sip of this battery acid, he tries to stop himself from cringing at the taste and also from the detestation of his own words.
Beer tastes like piss in a can.
"Wow, I've never heard Captain talk to someone like that." Hange snickered as they kept the box on Erwin's desk. The tall blond only hums as he listens, leaning back in his chair.
"Awww~" The boy shook his bottom, he was definitely too excited. Levi places the beer can down and he looks down at his wrist watch. Its almost time.
"Unfortunately, I don't think I do…" The raven shuts the boy down with a fake frown. He didn't want to give the kid hope, and he didn't want him to start asking questions regarding his job. Levi was in no mood to come up with shitty lies to keep his stories straight.
"Why nooot~? Do you already have a boy toy?" The kid had lust swirling in his eyes; obviously thinking about pervy things. His lip was in the shape of a pout.
"Mmm…" Levi hummed to himself as he brought the can up to his mouth, taking another swig. He was going to fucking need it.
"I hope Captain won't drink too much-" Hange writes something down in their notes; just in case there was a malfunction in the cassette player, they wrote notes down for backup.
"I have a few boys at home…" Levi's eyes watch over the brat who was now shocked with the man's confession. His face burned up and his mouth was left agape. "W-wow! They must be so lucky…"
"Hey! Short shorts, I need a drink over here!" A loud and ugly man peers over the bar, looking down at the pair. "Oh! S-sorry, sir." Thankfully for Levi, the kid ran off. Silver orbs finally take the time to look around the atmosphere.
Boys were dancing around poles on tables around the club. Men were throwing money at the dancers; there were even some women watching the pole dancers. These strippers didn't wear any shirts, just a slim pair of underwear that hugged their cocks.
Some men had bulges, Levi noticed.
He tears his eyes away from the revolting site. He could say he even felt fucking sick.
Maybe he was feeling sick from the humid air strangling his lungs, and the way his clothes were sticking to his skin. Sweat started to form over the raven's brow, and he swipes a hand over the wet skin, getting rid of the filth.
"Do you see anything suspicious?" Commander Erwin's voice pierced Levi's ear. He wasn't as shocked this time around, getting used to hearing random voices.
Levi leaned his head to the side and he acted like he was resting his cheek in his palm with his elbow against the bar. The tip of his finger hides into his ear.
"No. Further inspection required." His voice low in his chest to keep quiet.
No one could hear me over the useless chatter and stupid drunks, anyways.
Placing the beer down, he got off the stool. He didn't want to keep talking to that bartender.
Leaving the unwanted drink behind, he walks towards the crowd. Deviant eyes trace over his body as he walks through groups of sweaty men. Maybe I dressed too well for this mission...
He could hear catcalls towards his direction, but he paid no mind to it; finding it useless.
"You're an attractive man…" Erwin's voice echoed in his head from yesterday. Is this… how Erwin saw me?
Looking around the joint, he could see perverted eyes glance in his direction. He made it to the edge of the room in slight haste. Usually suspicious people would hang around the corners or against the walls. Who can I talk to that will give me drugs? Levi looks down the side of the walls, looking for anyone.
He spots a pair of men making out, their hands roaming each other's bodies desperately. One man had a beard and the other man was bare- faced. Levi watched as the bearded man reaches down to cup the other guys di-
I can't fucking watch this.
Levi looks at all these men and he hates all of them. They all looked so happy in this environment, dancing and drunk out of their minds. Their eyes held sparks of joy in them while the raven wanted to off himself right then and there. Levi let thoughts of Erwin come to him; Is this how the commander watched me?
Levi remembered how crystal blue eyes looked away from him when he was stuffing his shirt earlier that afternoon. How Erwin would look at him so intensely, never looking away unless it was necessary.
Levi made his eyes go distant. He wasn't going to think about this right now, he had a job to do.
Leaning up against the wall, he had a clear view of the sound table. He knew the upcoming DJ was going to be there. Very soon, I'll be seeing my target.
Crossing his arms over his chest, his eyes look over the male bodies. Looking into pockets to see if there were any signs of little baggies. Hand outs, brownies, and pills; looking for anything that looked drug related. He even looked at the strippers underwear, watching as the bystanders put money at their feet or in the thin straps.
There were no baggies. Nothing.. .unless their in holes Levi didn't want to think about.
Dull eyes look down the sides of the wall again. Instead of looking at the men making out, he spots movement in the corner of the room and it appears to be two people talking. The brims of their fedora hats were covering most of their facial features. The most suspicious thing ever. Levi thought as he observed them.
He doesn't keep his eyes there for long, however, he notices that they kept looking around for any prying eyes.
The two people glanced around as they did a hand off with each other. Right there.
Leaning against his pale palm, he drifts his gaze towards the strippers so he could talk.
A sound was heard from the device, Erwin jumped a little from the sound. "Active dealing." The raven's voice filled the room. It was loud in the commander's office, the box was sending everything the raven heard, all the party music and the shuffling of Levi's clothing. Even the soft pick up of his breath when moving.
Erwin was the first to pick up the box, bringing it to his mouth. "Any signs of what it could be?" There was a pause as the message was being delivered and received… "Something small." Levi's voice was a bit husky in the microphone.
'The air must be heavy.' The commander thought to himself.
"See if you can get a deal from them." Erwin replied back to Levi. The finger in his ear moves back down to his side.
Before he could even move a step, a loud voice echoed in the room.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" An emcee comes onto the stage, a microphone in hand. The man's bald ass head shined from the light.
"Shit." Cursing under his breath, Levi witnesses the men with fedoras separate. Blending into the crowd, he quickly loses sight of them.
Levi didn't notice that a load of new people flooded into the club. It was the DJ's fans and he could tell because of their young faces. The air became even more thick from the room being overrun with people. The fog machines on stage started to power up, making the air increasingly suffocating. No windows, no shine of sunlight. It reminded Levi of the red room back at the FBI.
"Stop the music!" The emcee raised his hand and all the shitty club music stopped. Thankfully to Levi's ears.
The officer started to wonder if this was the boss of the club.
*beep* "Information on the club owner?" Levi asked into the microphone. Hange and Erwin looked at each other for a moment. Erwin brings a hand to his chin in thought. Then it came to him. "Does he have sunken eyes?" The commander replied back into the box.
"Please, welcome our amazing guest! A handsome young man that started his career in music, spreading equality and freedom!" His voice shouted out loudly into the microphone and it made the raven's ears ring, a twitch started to pull at the back of one of his ears. His jaw clenched and he narrowed his eyes at the announcer. Focusing his eyes, he could see the sunken holes.
*beep* "Yes." Hange snatched the box from the commander, "Hey-"
Hange ignored Erwin's request to give the device back. "That's him! The owner of the club!"
Levi visibly cringed because of how loud Hange was. At this point, he was going to leave this bar fucking deaf.
There was complete silence in the room for a moment. No music playing, no one talked.
Those quiet seconds sounded like hours to the raven.
Then suddenly something quiet started to play in the background coming from the speakers.
'Brothel - Slide' - 2021
"Paint, movin' too fast. Candy paint, movin' too fast..." More fog came out from the machines and it was getting hard to see anyone or anything.
The lyrics of the song were quiet and he knew.
Levi knew that it had started.
"Everyone RISE FOR DJ CRIPPLER!" The owner of the club jumped off the stage.
Cheers rose up through the audience with a round of applause. Someone was being raised up onto the stage by a moving platform. This man was tall, Levi noted. A silhouette of someone stood behind the spin table, fog making it hard for Levi to see him clearly.
From the shadowing sight of him, the crowd went wild and yelled up at the DJ.
"Crippler!" A guy shouted.
"Make me crippled!" Somebody else followed with.
The small bass of the speakers started to vibrate. Levi knew it was coming.
The sound of the song was still quiet, like the DJ was edging the crowd. Hands were in the air and the kids waited for the drop. Their arms covered literally everything for the short man, he definitely couldn't fucking see.
Why couldn't I be fucking taller! Levi huffed as he tried to squirm his way past the brats. They were so sweaty… sweaty and disgusting.
He didn't directly get in front of the stage, he knew that if he did, the spin table would have prevented him from seeing the mysterious man behind it; he settled to the sidelines. The bass was vibrating more intensely through his feet now that he was closer.
The raven needed to see the boy who is playing as this DJ.
"Candy paint, movin' too fast..." The words echoed a few more times, the beat coming in faster and suddenly…
It went quiet.
Levi watched from the sidelines, he could finally see the side profile of this DJ. I know what is coming.
There was silence in the room because the DJ stopped the music to build up tension. Levi could see the sharp jawline this figure had. He could now clearly see how tall he really was. The DJ wore baggy black pants and a tight sleeve shirt. It perfectly held his muscles and the complete six pack this kid had. Jesus christ. These kids are going crazy for him.
Levi watched as a hand moved up close to the spin table; reaching over, the boy took out a microphone. Just like how the emcee did, he yelled into it.
"MAKE SOME NOISE!"
Levi's eyes widened, the sound of this brats voice…
He could hear that it came from the chest. It was full of power and it was deeper than he expected. The fog was fading away, and he could finally see brunette hair on the DJ. It was pulled up into a bun with some strands dropping over his forehead into his eyes. Levi could see glistened sweat on his skin, drops falling down his jawline. The back of his neck was drenched.
The raven could relate to that feeling, all the sweat over his own body. It was so hot and suffocating in this confined space.
"Candy paint, movin' too fast. Candy five, you know it's all live…" Levi watched the DJ in slow motion as the beat was about to drop. Levi observed how the DJ's fingers were light as a feather as they delicately manipulated the disks. He off-handedly wondered how such large and calloused hands could be so gentle at the same time. It was as if he were observing his hands close up.
"Tell me when to go, baby, when we gon' slide? (when we gon' slide?)" The song echoed and the base dropped.
The Captain's world seemed to have stopped.
The sound now became slow in his mind as it collared him into hysteria as if he were entrapped in rapture. The sound vibrated into Levi's chest and the way he could see sound waves come out of the speakers and enter his mind made this experience supernatural. Goosebumps sprouted all over his arms and a shiver rolled down his spine.
His feet tingle inside his shoes. It made him speechless. He was never speechless.
A lump forms in Levi's throat and he feels… free?
It was an indescribable feeling, it was something he's never felt. The sound… it felt new to him. The words from the song repeated themselves, sometimes new song lyrics would come in and Levi would admit he didn't know what the words were. The lyrics were hard to understand due to the loud cheering and raving from the crowd.
A normal DJ would usually go with a faster based song; while this one… he brought you in slowly.
It felt like the DJ was using a rope to drag Levi into bliss with his unique sound.
Levi could see lights flashing down into the crowd. Each sound of the bass vibrated and it was accompanied with softer sounds in the background. These wavelengths calmed his mind. This was music he's never heard before, it felt out of his time. How did he make this? With what technology? I can't wrap my head around it…
Slowly coming back to his senses he watched the brunette reach for the microphone again. His right hand presses a few buttons on the table and he brings the mic to his lips.
Levi couldn't believe it. He could sing too?
"Baby, when we gon' paint, movin too fast. Candy paint with the windows all black…" A deep voice echoed through the microphone and the silver orbs widened slightly. The deep voice was inhuman, it must've been a filter the boy put on to add effect to the lyrics; wanting to make the lyrics feel like something.
The raven was feeling it… he was actually impressed with the brat. He was really feeling what the DJ wanted them to feel.
"Seats crème brúlée, what they gon' say? With the top down, screamin' "Money ain't a thing" And we up 'til the mornin'..."
French? Levi hoped no one could see how he was breathing heavier.
The brat used French in his song? He used French words.
Even if it was just two, it made his heart beat quickly and he felt like he was going to shit himself.
"When the sun rise, we be on it… Oh, I got five, you know it's all live. Tell me when to go, baby, when we gon' slide?"
Then drums escalated down in a linear line and the sound boomed in the room… it was heavenly.
The drop felt like an atomic bomb just went off in that room, the aftermath of that explosion was met with peace, with harmony. It felt like the angels of heaven were holding him, filling Levi's brain completely with bliss and hugging him into a tight embrace. His silver eyes never leave the DJ and it was almost like the brat could feel him staring.
Eren turns his head, and emerald meets silver. The words from before start to echo inside the club as their eyes connect. The sound creeps on them as the heavenly sound continues to absorb Levi.
"Candy paint, movin' too fast…" It was almost silent, the song continued on as both men watched each other. Neither one wanted to look away. It felt like they were looking at each other for a long time, stuck in this gaze. Levi looked through the window of the DJ's soul.
Emerald eyes sparkled with joy, with complete happiness, eyes reflecting how the song felt; heavenly and pure.
The world was still in slowmotion and Levi didn't want it to end.
Who… is this brat?
Levi plunged back to his senses when a hand pressed on top of his shoulder. Everything went back to normal, no longer in that trance. He breaks eye contact with the DJ. His back tensed up, however, when he looked over to his right to see a young woman standing beside him. It was a woman, not a disgusting man. His back relaxed from the sight.
"Wow, I want to be there~!" Hange whined as they continued to take notes. "It sounds sooo fun! Erwin, you need to take us out sometime." The scientist points a pen at the commander suggestively. A thick eyebrow raises up as he looks at his comrade. They were completely over his desk, arms sprawled out in an exaggerated fashion. "I am so jealouusss!" Erwin crossed his arms and just observed the brunette.
"Maybe… sometime this month?" He tried to help Hange with some hope.
They practically squealed. "Oh my-! Yes!" Quickly, they started writing something in their notebook again, probably trying to find a good date for the three of them to get together. "I am thinkinnnggg…-"
"He is crazy good, isn't he?" Levi looks down to see a pair of bright blue eyes. She was a cute girl, Levi would admit. Platinum blond hair that was up into a tight bun. It was cleaner than the DJ's with no strand out of place. Levi crossed his arms and he noticed how this woman was even shorter than he was. Fuck, it boosted his pride.
Levi huffed, his mask slipping back into place, hiding the fact he was enjoying himself. His brows furrowed in irritation, his eyes go hazy and distant.
He got distracted from the DJ and he had work to do. That's not like me to get distracted. Anger started to bubble in the raven's stomach.
Levi didn't even realize that the song from before was over and a whole different sound captured the room.
Levi forgot that he was supposed to answer the woman beside him.
Feeling the hand on his shoulder run down his back, he could feel her fingertips drag along his dress shirt. Her arm comes close to her side again, leaving Levi's personal space. Why was she touching me like that? What was a woman doing in here? At a gay bar? I didn't notice her a few hours ago.
"Mmm." A hum leaves him as his eyes focus on the DJ again. Baby blue eyes followed his gaze.
The song now playing was typical shit Levi hated, fast and uppity. The brown-haired man started jumping on the stage with such energy that it made Levi want to calm his ass down out of jealousy…
Jealousy?
Levi was a bit envious of such pure innocence and energy.
"He's good." Levi finally responded to the woman.
"Is that a woman?!" Hange screamed in his ear and he held himself composed, although he didn't expect the screaming. "What is her name?" The raven looks back down at the woman beside him. She wore a nice set of clothes like himself. A white blouse and black jeans. A woman wearing jeans? Not a dress? Women don't usually wear pants…
Those light blue eyes look back up at him like she read his thoughts. "The names Historia." She reached over and offered her hand to him. Levi takes it without hesitance, he didn't want her to become suspicious. "Levi." He replied simply, giving the woman's hand a firm shake.
He respected women when many men didn't. He didn't see men who beat or belittled women as real men.
Levi didn't realize that another woman got on stage. Why are there so many women when we are in a gay club? The raven was confused. It didn't even feel like a homo's club anymore; though he was still surrounded by gay boys.
The two women put him on edge.
DJ Crippler reached out for his microphone while he pressed buttons on his table. Repeating a sequence of sounds so people wouldn't get bored of his voice.
"I would like to introduce you all to my beautiful partner in crime… Mikasa." The woman from the stage bowed her head. Beautiful, long, black hair came down to her shoulders and she wore a beautiful black dress. God, she must be sweating in that thing.
Suddenly, the beat zipped down, showing the start of an actual song. No longer playing that repeated sound.
'S3RL - Feel The Melody' - 2012
"I need some music…" Mikasa said into the microphone, her voice was distorted due to the DJ's controls. Green eyes look at Mikasa as the two start talking to each other.
"I've got the music." The DJ deep voice rattled inside Levi's brain, it was the same effect from the last song, but this one was even fucking deeper.
"I need a melody…" Mikasa came close to the table, her dress flowing behind her as she stepped towards the DJ. The sound in the background was relaxed and slowly building up. Like that rope from before… pulling you in further. The boys in the crowd were starting to get excited, ready for what was about to come.
"Oh, this is a good one!" Levi heard Historia say next to him. So… she's seen this performance before?
"So here's a melody." DJ Crippler pressed a button on the table and immediately a violin was filling Levi's ears. He felt his heart drop, his lids opening up once more; captured from the sound. It was… it was beautiful.
The strings of the violin with the sounds of chill beats in the background. It was a perfect mixture to the raven. Mikasa turns back to the crowd and her arm reaches up towards the crowd of boys.
"Can you feel the music and the melody?" Her voice was angelic, no longer sounding distorted, the filter taken off her voice; however she did have an echo as an effect instead.
She is singing… Levi was learning and feeling so many new things today. It's not like he hasn't heard people sing before, but hearing heavenly sounds from a gay club made Levi's mind feel like mush. He didn't expect the DJ to have good taste in music. He expected the music to be about fucking tight assholes.
"I can feel it moving through my whole body-" Mikasa leans down towards the boys and she holds her hand out, interacting with their fans.
It shook Levi to his core when that deep voice came in again through the mic.
"Feel the Melody." That's when the beats really started coming in with the violin. It was coming close to that drop.
"Sound, it takes me higher to another place… lose control of myself when I hear the bass." The black-haired woman stopped singing so she could yell into the microphone, "Are you ready?!"
Loud cheers filled the club. Eren holds the tip of his own microphone to his mouth, letting his normal voice speak through without the demon-like sound effect.
"So let the bass kick!" He pushes on a button and the bass fucking shakes.
It takes Levi by the legs. That was the climax-!
Everyone around him started to jump to the beat, hands in the air with loud cheers and Levi stood there like a sore thumb, not knowing what to do with himself.
The violin still kept its beautiful sound in all the madness and that's what he focused on.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom." Hange bops their head to the song through the black box. Erwin closes his eyes and leans his head back in his chair. He wasn't feeling too impressed. He wasn't into music like this and he knew Levi wasn't either. "Untz, Untz, Untz." The scientist brings their hands up with fake cheers. "Yeahhh! This is so cool!"
"Ugh…" The commander brings a hand up to pinch his nose.
Mikasa sings again, "When I'm listening on my headphones… I'm taken to another world… Makes me feel like I can fly, like I cannot ever die… Music is my only drug…"
Erwin shoots up from his chair and he takes the black box to speak into it. "Captain. This is your chance to investigate more thoroughly. It's loud and everyone is focused on the stage." Levi looks around, breaking out of his trance. I'm not going to get distracted again.
Before he could take any steps, however, big arms encircle him completely around his waist from behind. Levi's arms are forcefully locked to his sides.
Levi grunts, and jerks forward trying to avoid physical contact, "Guh!" The raven was taken by surprise by the sudden intrusion in his personal space. The big figure kept him locked in this position. Levi could feel all instincts from his training kick in.
"Can you feel the music and the melody?" The sound became blurry, but the violin still played in the background of his mind, the vibrations continuing to swallow him.
"Oh my Gosh!" Historia brings her hands to her mouth, her jaw hanging open.
The big man pressed his bulge into the raven's behind with a slight grind as he locked Levi's shorter figure to his big chest.
"Captain! What's goin' on?!" Hange and Erwin could hear his ruffled clothes and the grunts of the man trying to get on top of Levi.
Levi's top half was forced downward so he uses this to his advantage in order to crouch down. His legs buckle under the weight painfully. His knees slam into his chest as the man's body weighs him down. This position was making his body appear smaller.
The knife! Levi screamed at himself in his head. He pressed his chest into his knees as close as he could, even when it was causing him excruciating pain. The bigger man grunted above him, digging his own feet into the ground to keep Levi's arms tightly compressed and unmoving.
"Well here's a bass drum." The DJ's dark voice rang in his ear as the repeated bass shook under his feet. Gasping for oxygen, he could feel his diaphragm begin to strain from the squished position.
His fingers reached down to his pant leg. Slim fingers stretched till it was painful, trying to roll up his pants. The first joint of his longest finger reached and reached. Just barely grasping at the material.
"Ugh- Get off-!" Levi struggled against the man's tight arms, he would not let himself fall to the ground and let this man win.
