[ so, things are awkward. eren knows why down to every last detail, his gut tells him, which is why he doesn’t force anything. maybe time for them both was the best, and texting would have to be their better means of communication.
but every day that passes is another day he tries even harder than the last, another day where it hurts a little more to be without elliot. there was a hole of fear between them, and only eren would be able to give him that sense of security back to him, the same way he’d only be able to do it if elliot believed it when he said he could. there was something the eren now has that the eren from the past didn’t have: time. time to figure things out the best he could.
it has almost been a week, and it’s getting much too unbearable for eren to let drag on further. he’s better mentally, much better, and physically is just a consequence. he didn’t like it since day one, and once he’s positive he’s managed to get his head out of the water that engulfed him the first two times— he sends elliot a message.
i wanted to show you something, but i need you to come to the woods alone, and i need you to trust me.
he’d never put him in danger if he didn’t know what he was doing, but he still gives elliot the liberty to actually come on his own or not. eren waits for him there, tucking his motorcycle into a safe and hidden place (that had a minor surprise for later), and waits for him just by recollé woods’ entrance. ]
