~(Y/N)~

Sitting on my bed I watched as the clock turned to 3:01. It was morning and I had woken up from an hour's worth of sleep. The most I would ever sleep would be around two to three hours, then there were other nights like tonight where I'd get less or nights where I had no sleep and pull all-nights. My friends question how the hell I could stay awake, I was a college student and my teachers constantly hassled me about my lack of sleep.

Night's I spent on my computer talking to people online, they were better than my friends I had. I used Omegle, a site where I could talk to anyone I wanted, with the risk of being tracked I took the chance hoping I could find people like me, who shared my same issues.

Walking into my dorm I throw my bag on the floor next to the door, the good thing about this college I had my own room then it wouldn't bother anyone. Pulling off my shoes I walk barefoot over to my bed.

Leaning on my bed I start pulling the screen of my laptop up I turn it on and wait as it loads. As I wait for it to start up I turn back and head for my bag to grab out my assignments. Since I didn't have many friends I spent most nights doing homework and chatting online. Walking back to the bed with my books and notebooks in my hand I sit on the bed.

Laying out the notebooks I start with my Language Arts homework. After signing in to my computer I quickly click on Google chrome. From there I get ready to enter Omegle. It was a bad idea to even put it on while I did homework knowing I'd easily get distracted.

Ten minutes into doing homework and I had already started looking at my computer. Setting my work aside I started skipping through the video chats. I'll do my homework later. Tying in the keywords Insomniac, I press enter and watch as I was placed in a random video chat. Finding that most of the people weren't even looking at the cameras I continue to skip.

After about half an hour of skipping multiple people, I decided to shut my laptop off for the time being and actually get work done. Working on my Language Arts I copy sentences down in my notebook before answering the questions. I had to read a few short stories and answer the questions.

Finishing the work I move onto history. Having only two assignments I intended to finish them before I go to get dinner. Writing down vocabulary words and reading through the assigned chapters I finish it in a breeze.

Setting all the notebooks and books aside I slip out of bed and walk over to my mini-fridge. Looking through I don't find anything good and shut the door once again. Turning I go to a small cabinet that I had recently stocked, opening that I find a stack of 'Instant Lunch' cup of noodles.

Grabbing one out I tear the packaging around it before peeling the lid just enough to pour water in it. Placing it under hot water I wait until it's filled just enough, turning off the water I walk over to the microwave, setting the cup in there I close the door and press the number 3.

Waiting three minutes for my noodles to cook I stood there watching the time go by. It felt like the longest three minutes of my life. Grabbing a fork I get ready to open the door.

Once the microwave began to beep I open the door and stirred the noodles making sure it was fully cooked. Pulling the cup from the microwave I close the door, turning to my bed I walk over and climb back on. Holding the food and fork in one hand I go to open my laptop with the other. Signing in quickly my computer I find that I was still on Omegle.

This time there was a guy with jet black hair and he seemed to be pissed off, but pretty handsome. I watched him while I ate my food. He didn't notice that I was watching him as he seemed to be doing work. His head leaned down as he focused on his work.

Eating my noodles I set it down after shoving a fork full into my mouth. Typing on the chat I try to grab his attention. Spamming him with 'hellos' he didn't even look up from his work. As I was about to skip he finally looked up.

Stranger: What do you want brat?

Staring at the text I give him a slight glare.

Y/N: I just want to chat, whatcha working on?

Moving his work aside he was now into the conversation. I wonder if he can turn on his mic. Watching him he started to type.

Stranger: Work.

Tilting my head I give him a disbelieving expression. Really? Tapping my fingers on the keyboard I answer him.

Y/N: What's your name?

Trying to change the subject I wanted to get to know the guy and hopefully befriend him.

Stranger: Levi, yours?

Setting my cup of noodles aside I start typing again.

Y/N: (Y/N).

He looked at the name and nodded slightly as if approving my name.

Levi: So, you have insomnia too?

Nodding my head in the camera he responded back with a thumbs up.

Y/N: I only sleep for a few hours, usually I stay up and chat with online friends.

Levi leaned in a little closer to his screen seeming to be reading my words closely.

Levi: I only sleep for a few hours as well, then I'm usually doing work, do you work?

Shaking my head at the camera I lean in and start typing. I didn't work since I wanted to focus on my studies.

Y/N: I'd rather focus on my studies, I go to college.

Nodding his head in approval again he started typing.

Levi: I work at an office by day and a nightclub by night.

Curious what nightclub he worked out I stare at the text curiously as I started typing.

Y/N: What nightclub?

Quickly answering his response was fast. Looking at the text I was slightly surprised how close it was.

Levi: A fairly big nightclub, it's called Scarlet.

Wondering what he did there I type another question.

Y/N: What do you do there? Are you an entertainer? Bartender?

Giving me a slight smirk he starts typing again.

Levi: Bartender, I work in about an hour, why do you seem so surprised?

Answering quickly I toss my empty cup into the trash next to my bed.

Y/N: It's pretty close to the college I go to.

Looking at me a little shocked he quickly started typing as if he were a little excited to hear I was close.

Levi: Maybe we should meet up, I can buy you a drink. That is, if you're 21.

A playful smirk tugged at his lips as I read his response, leaning back I nod my head before typing.

Y/N: I am 21.

Leaning back he gave me a thumbs up. Looking elsewhere he seemed to be talking to someone else. Waiting patiently I watched as he nodded his head before turning back to the computer.

Levi: I have to go, but I'll see you later at Scarlet, maybe I'll get to know you more.

Nodding I wave goodbye, watching it skip on to the next person I felt my heart beat a little faster. Looking at the clock he said that he started his shift there in an hour. Not wanting to overdress up I grab a pair of skinny jeans and a regular t-shirt.

Dressing into my picked outfit I look in the mirror. It was simple, like me. Walking over to my desk I apply a light amount of makeup not a lot to cover up my natural beauty but just a simple few coats of mascara and lightly doing my eyebrows.

With that, I was finished. Turning back to look at my digital clock I still have forty minutes before I had to go. Walking over to my bed I decide to grab my phone and keys to leave my dorm room for a while. I could walk around for a bit, maybe go buy some stuff before I go. Walking down the hall were many other students who would just hang out until they got bored or a staff member told them to go to their dorms.

Walking past the crowd I walk out the door into the small parking lot, making my way over to my little black car. Getting in on the drivers' side I stick the key in the ignition, watching as the car begins to light up, my music started to play.

Backing out of the parking spot I turn towards the exit, driving slowly I turn to the right and start driving onto the main road. Driving up to target I pull into the parking lot there, driving up and down looking for a spot I finally find one close enough to the store.

Stepping out of my car I quickly made my way inside, checking my phone I had about half an hour before the store would close. Walking past the automatic sliding doors I grab a cart and quickly walk around the store.

~Levi~

Parking my car in the back of the club I step out, shoving my keys into my pocket I walk up to the door. A couple of other people were in the changing room getting ready, walking over to my locker I open it and pull my shirt out.

Pulling the shirt off my body I replace it with the uniform shirt, a simple black t-shirt. Tossing my keys in the locker I keep my phone in my pocket, I was hoping to get that (Y/N) girl's number that is if she plans on showing up.

Feeling someone slap my shoulder I cock my head to the side. "Hey Levi, here is half the tips from last week that you got," Erwin says.

Taking the small amount of cash I nod my head, shoving it in the locker I decided to save it for later. Finally, closing my locker I walk over to the other door that led into the bar. Walking out I start wiping down the bar quickly knowing that it had already been cleaned I made sure it was really clean.

I watched as people started pouring in, the music started getting louder as the chatter seemed to increase. A few people came and sat by the bar but none of them seemed to be (Y/N). Pouring and mixing drinks I did my job while keeping an eye out for (Y/N). Hopefully, she didn't blow me off.

"Come on pretty lady, let me buy you a drink." I overhear a man say.

Turning my head I catch the side profile of a young woman as she tried to ignore the man. "No thank you," she says repeatedly.

Then, I watched as the man's hand started traveling up her thigh, something in me sparked as I rushed over to stop him.

~(Y/N)~

After a quick drive back to the college to drop off my groceries I head over to the club, parking my car a little ways I get out with my wallet in my hand. Walking up to the now short line I wait as people slowly move up and into the club.

Showing my id I watched the man nod his head allowing me to pass through. Walking in the music that had played blared causing me to need to cover my ears momentarily so I could get used to the loud sound.

Pushing through the crowd of dancing people I found myself bumping into couples grinding u against each other as well. Getting on my tiptoes I try and look out for the bar, scanning the room I find a lit up area with bottles hanging from the wall. Walking over I made my way away from the crowd.

Pulling myself up onto the stool I sat there looking around hoping to find Levi, but he wasn't insight or at least I thought. Sitting next to me was an older man drinking, glancing over to me he gave me a smirk before fully turning to me. "May I buy you a drink?" he asks.

Giving him a shy smile I shake my head. "No thanks," I say.

Laying his arm on the back of my chair he scooted closer. "Come on pretty lady, let me buy you a drink," he says a bit louder.

Turning my head the other way I try to avoid him. "No thank you," I say loudly. Sitting there for a solid minute I thought he had given up and finally left me alone, but I felt his hand creep up my thigh.

Going to turn and slap him I find that someone else had grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Damn, that was fast. Looking at the person holding the drunk man's shirt I find a familiar face. Levi? "Don't touch women without their permission pervert." the man growled.

Shoving the guy off the seat he turned to me. "Get the fuck out." the man snaps.

Watching the other drunk man crawl away I turn to the guy who I believed was Levi. "Thank you," I say.

His eyes fell onto mine as he gave me a slight smirk. "No problem, guys like him are disgusting," he says.

He was much more handsome in person, and his voice fit his description perfectly. "So you're (Y/N)," he says. Leaning on the bar a bit I did the same.

"Yep," I answer.

Leaning back he got back to work while still keeping an eye on me. He held his devilishly handsome smirk as he mixed drinks, he stayed close in order to keep any unwanted men from coming up to me. "So, tell me about yourself, what are you hoping to get a degree in?" he asks.

"Bachelor of Arts in History," I answer.

"Interesting," he says as he pours into a shot glass before passing it to another person.

"I know, it sounds boring," I say as I slightly lean back with an embarrassed laugh.

"It's not, I think it's different," he says.

Glancing up to meet his gaze I give him a shy smile. "What about you? What's this office you work at by day?" I ask leaning forward again.

Giving a soft laugh he cleaned out a large glass. "I'm an advertising manager, I plan and direct campaigns for many companies so like commercials and put pictures in magazines, mainly around alcohol and men's formalwear," he answers.

"Very interesting," I say.

"It has its perks," he says.

"But why work here if you're making quite a lot of money?" I ask.

Shrugging his shoulders he pours some more drinks in front of me. "Keeps me busy," he says. Nodding slightly I guess he had a point, it's not like he could go home and sit around.

"Do you want a drink? I don't leave for a few more hours," he says.

"Sure... what do you recommend?" I ask.

Laughing slightly he shook his head. "I think my recommendation may be too strong for you," he says.

Laughing in disbelief I lean back. "Don't doubt me." I laugh.

Looking around I just order a random beverage. "Uhh, scotch neat," I order. Turning he grabs the bottle then turns back around grabbing a glass cup. Pouring it into the cup, sliding it towards me I take a good gulp, which I instantly regretted as I felt it burning down my throat. Letting out a cough I cover my mouth.

"Not much for drinking are you?" he asks.

"No, not really," I answer.

"Want some water?" he asks seeming a little concerned now that I had unintentionally burned my throat from the large gulp.

"Yes please," I answer in a raspy tone. Sliding the cup away I watch as he grabbed a different glass out, filling it with water he placed it on the counter for me to grab.

For most of his shift, we talked and I watched him mix many drinks and serve many people. By the time his shift ended the crowd of people had died down, watching him walk back over from serving his last customer he cocked his head to the side motioning for me to follow him.

A little confused I slip off the stool and look around. Sneakily I head behind the counter and open the door to the back following him into their changing room. Trying to avoid the other employees I walk over finding Levi removing his shirt.

Quickly turning my head away I try to not look back. Hearing his locker shut I jump a little due to being slightly startled. "Tch, come on." I hear him say, with that, he grabbed hold of my hand and led me out from the back. As he tugged me along I realized that I was taller than him. I didn't really care for height but who knew such a handsome guy would be short. Maybe it's my shoes. I was wearing sneakers.

"My car is out front," I tell him.

Stopping for a moment he looked back and slightly up at me. "We'll come back don't worry," he says.

Stopping in front of his car I watch him head toward the driver's side. "Where are we going anyway?" I ask.

"Dimburg." he says.

It was a city about ten minutes away from where we were. A city I had only been in a few times since moving here. Nodding I quickly rush over and get into the passenger side.

~Time Skip~

After exploring the city and learning more about my new friend Levi. He decided to take me back to the bar to get to my car. It had been a lot of fun, the most fun I've had in a long time. Parking next to my car, which was the only car on the block at the moment I turn to get out of the car but he had the door still locked.

Turning to face Levi I was about to tell him to unlock the door. "When can I see you again," he mutters.

Slightly nervous I give him a shy smile. "W-well, I'm free anytime you can always stop by my dorm or I can come to visit you," I suggest.

"How about tomorrow, same time?" he asks.

"That'd be great," I say giving him a smile.

Looking down at the cup holder's between us he pulled a pen out and grabbed my hand. Pulling my arm toward him he started writing something down. I assumed his number. Once he had finished I pull my arm back and look, it was indeed his number.

"Call me when you get back safe," he says.

I felt a warm sensation at his words and how he wanted to make sure I would make it home safely. Nodding my head I flash him another smile. "And if you have Skype we can chat there when you can't sleep.," he says.

Nodding my head again I look around hoping to find some paper. Not finding any paper I instead grab his arm and pen to write down my username for Skype. "My username," I say as I hand him his pen back.

Finally, unlocking the car door I quickly get out and head to my car. Waving goodbye to Levi I watch his car pull up and around mine before it drove off. Getting into my car I quickly drive back to campus. It was really late like nearly four in the morning late.

After arriving at the campus I quickly get out of my car and rush inside. Walking down the now-empty hall I stop in front of my bedroom door. Unlocking my door I quickly enter and shut my door before locking it again.

Feeling my phone buzz I toss my keys on my desk and pull my phone from my pocket. Finding a text, it was Levi.

Levi: Hey, it's me, Levi. I had a great time tonight if you're not tired maybe we can chat some more.

Pulling up my keyboard I start typing my response.

Y/N: Are you obsessed with me now haha, and sure I don't start classes for another few hours.

Shutting off my phone I walk over to my bed, pulling off my shoes I climb into my bed and open my laptop. Logging in I quickly click on the Skype icon and wait as it logs me in. Watching as my phone lit up from a new message I quickly grab my phone.

Levi: I guess I am obsessed, I'll video call you in a minute I'm just getting home.

Shutting off my phone I wait patiently as the time goes by. Knowing he probably needed to change and such it would probably take him a little longer. Scrolling through my social media to pass the time I hear a little ding from my computer. Sitting up I find that I had a new friend's request. Reading the username I couldn't help but laugh. Cleanfreak69.

Reading the little message I knew it was Levi. Adding him back he instantly video called me. Accepting the call it started out heavily pixilated until it clearly showed his face. He had been sitting on his bed in a tank top and sweatpants.

"Hello." I great.

"Hey," he answers as he waves back into the camera. As the rest of the night went on we continued to talk to one another seeming to be obsessed at this point. Unfortunately, Levi had to try and get some sleep before heading into work.

~A Month Later~

It had been a month after meeting Levi. After many nights of hanging out and getting to know one another, we became rather close friends. It was currently midnight as I was laying in bed with my laptop opened to a video call with Levi.

Since he was in another town for a meeting the next day we couldn't hang out. It had happened previously a few times and I had gotten used to it. At this moment we were both laying in bed actually feeling a bit tired at the moment. Since meeting Levi I found it a bit easier to fall asleep even though I was still getting roughly three hours of sleep.

Laying on my side I tiredly smile at him, he too was laying on his side facing the camera. We had been talking for a good few hours now and were about to call it a night. "Hey," Levi whispers.

Looking back up at the camera I give him a slightly confused glance. "Yes?" I ask.

Looking away from the camera I watch his face turn slightly red. "W-well... I really wanted to tell you this in person... but since I'm elsewhere and can't hold back any longer... I-I wanted to tell you... that I-

Stopping I sat up a bit and watched him become more nervous. "That you?" I ask.

"I-I... well, I like you... more than a friend that is." he mutters. Feeling my heart begin to pound I hide my face in a pillow.

"S-sorry... I-If you don't feel-

"No, I do!" I say loudly as I raise my head from the pillow.

We sat there silently for a moment taking in what we both had just said to one another. Clearing his throat I look back up at his camera. "T-then... will you be my girlfriend?" he asks.

Smiling at him I nod. "I would love that," I say. With that, we both ended our night with a confession. After saying goodbye I shut my laptop off and turned to lay on my stomach, who would have thought that I would find Romance Online.
