[ Eren's graduation ceremony was nothing less than expected, the whole big bang and honorable speeches, flags and marches; family and friends gathered to attend— Elliot, be prepared, because Mrs. Jaeger is very interested in you and asks you to sit with her and Mr. Jaeger, tells you how much of a sweetie you are in person and that she'd love to invite you for coffee and apfelstrudel and, don't tell him she showed you, but look how cute Eren was when he was two months old—
Anyway! It was clear that Eren was gushing with pride from start to finish, from the minute he sported his navy blue uniform up to the call of his name, wearing his new rank as the greatest accomplishment of his life. Not even airman basic, he's skipped straight to airman with his enlistment promotion. He's really, really happy, and beyond happy was the minute he caught sight of Elliot there to see him.
With all this emotion, he can't help but to feel a little sting in his eyes at some point. His wingmen and officials probably jostle some fun at him as they give their congrats, his mother probably frets and embarrasses him even further as she tries to wipe his face (mom, please), and dad, well. Dad says something about him as a doctor, but let's just leave that be.
The most important thing that he wanted to do here was when he was finally free from everything, he beelines toward Elliot with zero formalities and enough speed to get an oof out of anyone, his arms gathering him into a tight and emotive hug he's probably never given to anyone in his lifetime. He's almost picking him up off the ground, and just— pours all that emotion right into him. Good emotion, to start a good day. ]
