A/N: I really, Really love the Actor!AU, so I couldn't help but write my view of the fanfiction about it! This is the way it'll be done: For all the main cast, I'll write all POV's per chapter, so Levi's Audition, Eren's audition, Mikasa's audition, etc. this'll be a hella big project, so wish me luck~! Feel free to leave feedback.
Also, apologies if anything is inaccurate compared to real life things, I'm trying to make it rather realistic.
Levi sighed, he checked his phone and let out somewhat of a groan. He had estimated his travelling time to be much longer, little did he know he still had half an hour before he'd finally get to audition.
He stirred in his seat a bit, he was a bit nervous… if he got this part, then that would be his first big gig off-stage. He had starred in small plays and musicals, but nothing so major as this… He had checked out the series before, he didn't think much of it, but he didn't hate it either. He found it funny that there was someone sharing his name though… Levi, not a very common name, but he was more than willing to share it with the corporal of the Survey Corps.
His face wrinkeled into a faint smile and he reached into his bag, getting out his phone. On it, he opened a document with different scenario's he used to get into character with. He read over the lines one by one. Unconciously, he began to adjust his posture and looks, crawling into his character more and more. He quickly snapped out of it once he was approached by a man. "Uh… Mind if I sit here?" A guy, taller than him, green eyes and brown hair… Must be auditioning for Eren, he thought. "Uh, no… not at all…" He scooted over on the couch a bit, clearing his throat nervously.
An awkward silence fell, he looked over at the man… how old was he? He could easily pass for Eren… well, teen Eren anyway. "So…" the man began. Levi flinched a bit. "You auditioning too, huh?" He asked. Levi nodded in response. "No offense.. but.. you're a bit.. small to be Eren, aren't you?" The man asked, Levi smirked. "Yeah well, I came in early, I'm not Auditioning for Eren… I'm Levi, by the way." He said. The Eren raised a brow. "Somebody's overconfident?" He replied. "I'm not kidding, my legal name is Levi." He chuckled. "What's yours?" He asked. "Eren… Jaeger." Eren replied. Levi held in his laugh. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." He said, he chuckled and let his head fall back on the couch cockily. "But.. what I'm wondering now… is… Aren't Teenage Eren's rounds tomorrow? I already know I'm right, so just awnser as to what you're doing here." Levi chuckled. Eren smiled a bit. "Well, I'm actually here for my kid brother." He replied. Levi looked at the man sarcastically. "A mini-Eren… bee-yootiful…" He chuckled. "He's not called Eren as well, is he?" He asked. Eren laughed. "No, no.. his name is Sam." "Well that's a bloody relief." Levi chuckled. There was another short silence. "Hey Levi… How old are you?" Eren asked. Levi looked at him. "19…" He awnsered, looking at him with questioning eyes. "Twenty." Eren smirked at him. Levi pushed him playfully. "Yeah well If you're gonna make it through I'll be the older one!" He said.
Not much later a bunch of kids came out, some with and some without Parents. Some kids looked a bit too young, to be playing the part, and one by one, Levi crossed some kids off by first glances. Before long, Sam approached Eren. "How'd it go?" Eren asked immediately. "It went great… but everyone else is pretty tough too." He said. Unlike Eren, Sam had black hair, but they still looked alike incredibly, pop a wig on and it really was a copy of the older one. "Hi Sam." Levi said. Sam greeted him back. "Sam, Meet our possible corporal." Eren said. Levi glared slightly. "Why does that sound so negative?" he asked. "well, we Never know until it happened, haven't seen you act yet… well apart from when I saw you sit here." He said. Levi blinked… He hadn't acted at all yet… "But I haven't… all I did was read over some lines I set up…" He explained confusingly. Eren laughed. "Are you kidding? I thought you had just stepped right out of the Manga!" Eren chuckled, Sam began to look more interested. A row of kids entered the hall once more, this time other kids… but they just seemed like another shipment of mini-erens. "Well, then I'd say we recreate a part… "Sam said. "How about the kicking scene, military court." Sam said, and almost immediately got his hair ruffled, "You have a thing for seeing me suffer, don't you?" Eren replied whilst ruffing his hair roughly. "of course! I'm your 'lil brother!" He chuckled in response. Levi shook his head in protest. "I'm not gonna do that, I just met Eren here, without rehearsal too, I might acutally injure him!" He said in disapproval. "Fine, fine… Then.. I don't know, just.. do something." Sam said.
After a bit of debate, they finally got something prepared and Levi and Eren acted it out, Levi, enjoying his acting spree waited calmly until Sam made his much expected comment. "That was good.. but still a little rough." He said critically. Levi barely moved, only turned his head to make eye contact with Sam, staring into his soul with a glare. "Listen here, shitty brat. You are not the one to tell me wether I'm 'good enough' or not." He said, not flinching a muscle for a few seconds after. Almost a minute passed that way, he let his posture loosen and he smiled again. Sam chuckled a bit as well. "Fine, fine… Don't overdo it at the audition though." He smiled. Lev nodded. "I'll keep that in mind…" He mumbled. Eren checked the time. "Ah, crap.. Sam, we've gotta go. " He said and gathered his belongings and his bag, As did Sam. "It's been nice talkin' to ya, Levi, good luck today." Eren said with a smile on his face, and with that, the two brothers left off.
Levi saw the two off and saw that there were only five minutes left to wait… geez, time went quickly. He sighed calmly and reached into his bag once more, this time getting out a bottle of water, and taking a few sips. He gave himself a quick mental peptalk and nodded at himself, he had to be confident… for some reason, even though most of his auditions went well, he couldn't help but be a bit nervous.
He saw the auditioning hall's door open and the children were let out once more…. That was… quick, then again.. there were fewer children this time. He now noticed a few other actors dripping in one by one. His name was called out, and he was let into the auditioning hall. It was a large hall, a dance floor installed in the front area and some athletic equipment in the back, the judges lined up at one long table. Levi was asked a few basic questions after which he was given a few scenarios from the script, he voiced them flawlessly, but the hardest part was yet to come. Not all of the scenes with maneuver gear were done with CG, and even those that were needed some degree of actual motion to not look incredibly fake. Levi was instructed to move to the equipment and do several practices. Nothing too hard, but it wasn't exactly a breeze either, though thanks to levi's previous experiences, he made it at least look effortless.
He was briefly thanked and a little amount of feedback was given to him. After which he was dismissed. He left the hall after thanking the judges for their time and took a deep breath. That. Went. Great. Though he was the first to audition, that was a very big disadvantage… However, he'd see how it would go. With a bit of luck he'd have a call by the end of the week, telling him he got the role, but for now… He decided to just go home, to his apartment and relax a bit.
After a while riding several busses, He finally reached the apartment complex he lived in, he entered it and went up the stairs, why wait for an elevator when you're just on the second floor, right? He unlocked his door and entered his apartment, where he was quickly greeted by his calico cat. Levi squatted down and gently petted his little feline. "Hey there Cinder…" He mumbled, the cat meowed in response. Levi usually lived alone and didn't always have time to go out and hang out with his friends, either because he was busy on a prject or just because he was tired, but Cinder was always there for him and vice-versa. The calico had known Levi since it was only a little kitten and had quickly taken a liking to the man. She knew how to take care of herself when Levi wasn't there, but let herself be pampered when he was there. "How about some food, huh?" The man mumbled and walked into the kitchen, looking at his cat's shelf, noticing Cinder had actually eaten his portion of food when Levi was gone. "ahh, I see, you've already eaten. I'm not gonna fall for that, lady." He chuckled and left the kitchen again, sitting down on his couch and turning on the Television.
Finally time for some relaxation….
