[Fortunately, Eren is pretty easy to read for Elliot if he's lying or not. It's partly because Eren's a pretty honest guy, and partly because Elliot's known him for so long. He is watching for Eren's tells, but everything Eren is saying seems very genuine. It was a relief to hear.

Though...that wasn't Me anymore? That's a rather foreboding statement, more so than usual separation people make from their past self. Had something changed in the other Eren, to make lose himself? Then again...so many of his later actions did sound so different from the Eren he knew and loved...

This probably wasn't time to dwell on it. They were here now. Eren wasn't in that old life, and Elliot felt convinced Eren knew that too. He'll reach over to touch Eren's hand, offering him a smile]

Alright. Then you have my support, 100%.

[ if there’s anything that could make eren shake every bit of what was remotely considered grieving, it was this. all the creases on his face are smoothed out, eyes relaxing like melting butter. maybe his hands felt like they were pooling into a big pile of warm feelings.

he takes each hand in his own until he’s raising one to press his lips into reverently. ]

Thanks. For everything. If I have this outlook on memories now, it’s because you started it. [ lowering elliot’s hand, he rubs his fingers into them, still with growing affection, but guiding him back to his silverware. they should eat. ] That day in the woods, when I broke my ribs.

[Eren you're such a romantic. His heart melts at the gesture, he squeezes Eren's hands in return. That day in the woods...he hasn't forgotten it. ]

I remember that day...

[The worry, the upset, and yet... They've both come a long way since then. They've both grown, together. ]

Though you should know, the reason why I hold the views I do on the memories...it started because of you. [He gives a little shrug as he picks up his fork again] I don't like the idea of a life without you in it.

[ augh. augh. the sound of his heart palpitating could probably be heard from across the globe and into another dimension, otherworldly life forms are probably thinking what is that infernal drumming no it’s just eren jaeger’s heart. words dance in his head and he’s left there without words and only a moved smile and beaming eyes to speak for him, rose spreading cleanly across his face.

god, this man. he loves this man. ]

. . . I can’t imagine it. [ he keeps. squeezing and rubbing the hand he’s holding, sweetly and endeared, constantly gasping up and down until he decides to eat, finishing up his meals much faster than he was before. ] We need to finish up.

[ what’s with this smiley rush??? ]

[He smiles enough to scrunch up his nose a little at Eren's reaction. God, did he love this man. He'd never take him for granted, he feels so lucky they got to meet.]

Haha, okay. Guess they want their table.

[Better than to linger 'too long! He goes back to eating, not eating as fast as Eren but eating at a brisk enough pace so it shouldn't take too long to finish his omelet. When he's all done, he'll push the plate in and look at Eren]

Ready to go?

[ he’s. so ahead of you like. standing up and leaving was totally the jam he was waiting for, and by the time elliot says “ready to—“, eren’s already cramming his chair under the table, hastening into a stand. the boy is parched like the sahara desert at noon. ]

Yeah, just—

[ all that rush to get off his seat just to get close enough to lean down and . . . kiss him. that’s what the rush was for. the actual plan was to wait until they got outside but, the dokis spoke. he had to fulfill. ]

[Gosh dang Eren. He sure did catch him by surprise. He makes a little surprise squeak, but of course he'll kiss him back. Though he'll make sure it's a quick one- they are in public.]

Hehe, we still need to pay the bill you know.

[ IT’S QUICK, AND SWEET, AND A PECK OF THIRST BECAUSE HE’S MARRIED FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND STILL LOVES YOU LIKE HE FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR EXISTENCE

no he just. had to do something. no matter how quick it was, because when your head starts going shalalalalala kiss da boy it’s a little distracting to say no! waiting to take his hand, eren reaches for his wallet with the other, getting the table number and ready to pay up at the counter instead. ]

I’m on it.

[Eren you're so cute. Elliot will take that offered hand, as always, and is ready to go with him to the counter.

And he won't even argue about payment! ]

Alright, thank you.
