Chapter Text
Eren was quite literally running down the street. But no matter where he went, he couldn't find that damn Squirtle.
The little bastard was probably hiding from him, trying to prolong his suffering. Eren could hear Jean's wheezing as he rounded the corner just behind him. "Holy fuck Eren, it's a fucking Pokémon, why the fuck are you running?"
Eren scoffed and glared at him. "Don't joke about it, horseface, it's a serious fucking matter. Now shut up, you're wheezing like an 80-year old, I can't concentrate." Eren retorted, taking off again down the next street. Jean groaned loudly, before running after him, praying to whoever the fuck was watching him and laughing that they would end his suffering. Or at least make Eren fall, because that would be fucking hilarious.
Eren stopped around a quarter of the way down the street when Jean caught up, but Eren quickly shushed him and slowly began walking forward. Jean looked over at his phone and finally saw the damn Squirtle sitting quite happily in the middle of the street. "Fuck you, you little bastard, I've been chasing around trying to find you for the past fifteen fucking minutes." Eren muttered under his breath, Jean snorting behind him.
What Jean saw that Eren failed to notice, however, were the people behind the stupid little thing in the camera. There was a short, raven-haired man walking at exactly the same pace, in exactly the same stance as Eren; and they were heading straight for one another. The tiny man had two friends with him; a tall blonde with big-ass fucking eyebrows, and a woman with this creepy, manic glint in her eyes. Jean looked between Eren and Short-Ass (because Jean didn't know his name, and Jean was a lovely person, hence the cute nickname), before turning to look at the other two.
They both looked at him and smirked, noticing the same as Jean had - they were going to walk right into each other. Jean walked over to the other two, and introduced himself, finding out that their names were Erwin and Hanji, and that Short-Ass was actually called Levi, and he was currently trying to catch a Charmander. "Should we say anything, or just let them mortally embarrass themselves?" Erwin asked, watching the two walk towards each other in amusement.
"Leave 'em," Jean replied, glaring at Eren, "The little shit made me run non-stop for the past fifteen minutes looking for that damn Squirtle. He deserves the embarrassment." Erwin and Hanji laughed at him, which made him laugh, before the trio fell silent as Eren and Levi neared one another.
"Levi, my small darling, where are we going?" Hanji asked, receiving a kick to the shin at the nickname from said tiny man.
"Shut it, Shitty Glasses, I'm trying to find where the stupid fucking Charmander is." Levi grumbled, stopping and looking in the direction in which the Charmander was. He began walking again, stopping at the end of a quiet street, looking at the screen and finally seeing the fucking Charmander. He took a few slow steps forward, not noticing the two people at the opposite end of the street.
"Erm, Lev--" Erwin started, but Levi immediately cut him off, giving him the finger and telling him to "Shut the fuck up or else I'll kick your ass so fucking hard you won't be able to shit for a week, Eyebrows." And Erwin promptly shut up, stopping next to Hanji a little bit further down the street. They smirked at the boy who looked strikingly similar to a horse, before said horse-child walked over the duo. They found out his name was Jean - fitting, for a horse-, and that the boy he was with was called Eren.
"Should we say anything, or just let them mortally embarrass themselves?" Erwin asked, amused at the pair. He listened to Jean retort about how Eren deserved it, after making him run. Hanji and Erwin laughed, Jean joining in, before the three of them turned back to watch Levi and Eren, who were only a few feet away from each other.
Eren continued moving forward unconsciously, swiping upwards on his phone to throw the Poké Ball at the Squirtle. Levi had continued moving, not yet close enough to throw the Poké Ball at the Charmander, though he could see it through his camera.
They just couldn't see each other.
Eren yelped and dropped his phone whilst Levi growled and locked his as they walked right into each other. Eren scrambled the pick up his phone, throwing a fist in the air as he caught the Squirtle. Levi, however, unlocked his phone and the game re-loaded, and when it did, the Charmander was nowhere in sight. Levi growled and pinched the bridge of his nose, before glaring up at the tall brat who had cost him his fucking Charmander.
Said brat was smiling happily, before the smile turned sheepish as he looked at the small man who was looking up at him rather angrily. When Eren actually looked at him, however, his breath caught in his throat. Holy fuck, he thought, eyes scanning over the mans face as he took in his details. It should be illegal to be that hot.
Levi looked up at him, angry that he lost the damn Pokémon. His eyes widened as their eyes met, steely grey hues meeting scorching Caribbean. He looked over the brats face for a moment, momentarily forgetting his anger in favour of admiring his face. After realising what he was doing, he put his signature scowl on; narrowed eyes and thin lips.
"The fuck are you doing, brat?" Levi growled angrily, looking back down at his phone and trying the find the Charmander once more. After realising he had probably the little dick for the time being - because he would be damned if he didn't find the little shit again -, he locked his phone and put it in his pocket, glaring up at the brat.
"Dude, I am so sorry. Well, I'm not really because I finally caught the damn Squirtle. But it must suck to be you." Eren retorted, snickering slightly. When Levi tensed and all but fucking growled, ready to lunge at the little shit, Jean, Erwin and Hanji took that as their cue to leave and take their Pokémon obsessed friends with them.
"Well, it was great meeting you three, but I should really take my dickhead of a friend away before he causes any more problems." Jean spoke, giving Eren a look, who raised an eyebrow and turned away slightly.
"Us too. Levi can be a bit short-tempered and he's not such a loving person when he's angry. Or ever, really." Hanji pondered, thoughts going off track for a moment before Erwin steered his friends out of the street, throwing a sheepish smile over his shoulder and bidding Jean and Eren farewell. Jean grabbed Eren by the collar of his shirt, dragging him out the other end of the street and shouting his goodbye.
"Okay, he has such a bad temper. Can you believe him?" Eren snorted, looking back at Jean.
"Oh, he does? What about you, picking fights with fucking strangers?" Jean scoffed back, walking away from Eren as he scrambled after him and re-opened Pokémon.
"Eren, you motherfucker, if you don't cut this fucking Pokémon crap, I'm honestly going to kill you and dump your body in a lake! Chill with the fucking running, shithead!" Jean shouted after Eren, who was running after yet another Pokémon, and - uh oh, hazard a guess where they were running? The same street where Eren nearly got jumped by a midget!
Jean groaned loudly, catching up to Eren and grabbing him by the back of his shirt and spinning him around to face him.
"Listen, I'm fine with coming out so you can 'catch 'em all' or whatever, but enough with the running. If you know where they are, then walk, they'll still be there!" Jean hissed at him, releasing his grip on his shirt and pushing him away. Eren glared at him, but it soon became playful as he shoved Jean back and took off running, Pokémon GO off and his phone in his pocket. Jean barked out a laugh and took off after him, not realising they were heading down the same street as the day before.
Eren continued running and looked back at Jean, laughing and turning to face forward again. As soon as he turned forward, however, his body collided with something hard and he fell backwards, landing on his ass. Jean started pissing himself with laughter behind him, and Eren watched as a phone skidded beside him. He looked up and - fuck, he was definitely going to die today.
Levi sighed angrily and walked over to the stupid fucking kid who had - once again - made him lose his Charmander. He bent and picked up his phone, checking for any cracks, and unlocking it when he found none. The game re-loaded and there was no Charmander in sight. As he stood again, he gave the kid - Eren, was that his name? - the dirtiest look he could. Levi heard the brat's friend wince slightly as he gave Eren the look, and Levi fought back a smirk and settled for an eye-roll instead.
"That's the second fucking time I've lost that Charmander, you shitfuck." Levi spat, watching as Eren scrambled to his feet and backed off from him a little.
"Okay, I'm actually kind of sorry this time. But I was just messing around with my friend, you should have seen me coming, short-ass." Eren replied, furrowing his eyebrows.
"I was in the middle of catching it, I wasn't really on the look out for dickheads running into me. You should've been watching where you were going, you little shi-- Wait, what the fuck did you just call me?!" Levi fumed, taking a step toward Eren. Eren laughed nervously and looked to Levi's friends, who were looking at him in sympathy, before he caught Hanji mouthing the word 'Run'. So he did.
Levi watched as Eren took off down the street and grabbed his friend on the way past, almost making them fall in the process. Levi scoffed and rolled his eyes before exiting the street and walking away, finding himself thinking of the little shit even though he was angry at him.
The third time it happened, however, it totally was not an accident. Eren just really enjoyed pissing off the very attractive man whose game he kept fucking up. So when Eren saw Levi walking into the same street that they had bumped into each other in twice already, he smirked and whispered to Jean to shut the fuck up.
Levi, on the other hand, found the Charmander again - thank the Lord, he was ready for going crazy -, and was keeping a close eye on the other end of the street where Eren had continued to appear from. He never thought that Eren may have been at the same end of the street as he was, and he sure as fuck didn't hear him either.
Eren and Jean walked quietly towards where Levi was, Erwin and Hanji standing at the end of the street waiting for Levi to finally catch it. Eren snickered quietly and Jean looked fucking terrified, before splitting off to stand nervously next to Erwin and Hanji, who were watching Eren with wide eyes as he approached Levi. When he was close enough, he slammed his shoulder into Levi's, knocking the phone from his hand and causing the game to freeze.
Levi inhaled sharply, and spun round, already knowing it was Eren. What nobody had been expecting, however, was for Levi to knock Eren flat on his ass. Eren yelped, and looked up at Levi, but was unable to keep the smile off his face. Levi crouched and grabbed Eren by his shirt, pulling him so their faces were inches apart.
"That's the last fucking time you do that, shithead. You're making this up to me."
"Oh? And how do you suppose I do that?" Eren asked, eyes shining with mirth and a small smile playing on his lips.
"By finally letting me catch this fucking Pokémon. And by taking me to dinner, of course."
