[ you took this upon yourself

and eren blinks, with big blue owl eyes. he’s imagining akira as halle berry’s catwoman and he is 😶]

Uh. At least. [ . . . ] At least it isn’t a fur suit.

[ unlike eren, who gets stuck with the furries ]

... Speaking of fur suit, I found this at your place.

[ Eren. Are you ready? Akira's Third Eye sure comes in handy when he wants to be nosy, so he disappears into to take out a familiar reindeer costume...

In his exact size. ]

Retrospec is very festive.

[ It's time to strip Eren. Odd enough, Akira is very nimble and quick about it. ]

How did you—?! [ DID ELLIOT GIVE YOU THE SPARE KEYS, DID YOU TAKE THEM ON YOUR OWN?? THIS IS BETRAYAL. ] No! NO—!!

[ a muffle here, some shuffling there and, ta-dah! merry chrysler. bells jingle from his colorful bow tie as eren, well, screams, wails in the basement in embarrassment and turns a lovely shade of christmas red.

if he says “you win”, it’ll be worse. maybe an angel would hear him. maybe he could try and worm his way to the stairs, maybe he’s not as naked as he could be—

he screams. he screams like a dying, dramatic animal. ]

[Rean, being a good little gofer, has just been here shoveling out the driveway and sidewalks while all of this nonsense goes on. He has been so, so blissfully unaware.

But no longer. His head snaps up when he hears screaming, because of course it does? He's only oblivious to feelings, not death wails. So, naturally, he's immediately worried and leans the shovel up against the house to go check out what's going on.

He dusts off his boots as best as he can so he's not tracking too much snow throughout the house before entering, making his way toward the source of the screaming.]

Um, I heard yelling, is everything o... kay...?

[...What the fuck is this.]

[ Akira is just finishing the final touches to Eren the reindeer when Rean pops into the basement. If it were any of his roommates, he could easily explain, but. Uhm. Why are you here??

Eyes wide, he mirrors the same shocked look right here. ]

Rean?

[ FORGET THE QUESTION. WHY ARE YOU IN HIS HOUSE? ]

I've been helping shovel out your driveway...

[He's been doing a favor for Elliot! This just happened to be when he had time.]

Why is Eren a reindeer and why is he screaming?

This is his costume, actually. You could ask him that yourself.

[ ............ He strokes his chin. ]

And why he's screaming, too.

[ Looking down at his friend, he wants to emphasize how Eren is not gagged if he's able to scream so loud. ]

[ Somewhere in the background, a shadow appears. Tall and looming, with spindly limbs, sneaking into the room to extract true vengeance upon those who have wronged hi--

no wait, it's just Yusuke. ]

Oh, hello Rean.

[ He came back! ... and he brought paint! ]

Is it more authentic if we give Eren a red nose?

[ you know what? that paint with yusuke looks much too menacing for eren. a red nose. wonderful!! he will not admit defeat. sorry, rean, you’re not really the angel he was waiting for, and if he stops to actually talk, things will get even more embarrassing.

so eren jaeger inhales, and eren jaeger does what an eren does best. he screams, like a siren. and if he runs out of breath— he’ll inhale only to scream again, if anything, fueled by the memory of getting fingers cut off while being tied to a chair.

god damn it if he won’t make the neighbors call the police again!!! ]

[See the reason Elliot hadn't been around is because he'd been shopping at the corner store for dinner. You know to feed all these weirdos. But now he just happens to be coming in when he hears screaming coming from the basement. Which holy heck- what is that?! It doesn't sound like a movie or a game at all, but a real person.

So he's dropping his grocery bags on the counter, not carring if they spill, and running for the basement door. He opens it and yells down the stairwell]

W-What's going on down here?! Is everyone alright?!

[That sure is the sound of small feet coming down the stairs. Quick guys, try to hide or look innocent before your doom sees what's going on]

[For Rean’s part, he’s just panicking at the screaming. He’s rushing over to Eren, making an attempt to rip those bindings off of Eren with his bare hands. This is very likely helping nothing, but it probably will backfire on Rean somehow!]

Whatever the reason is, he doesn’t like it! Come on, help me get him out of this...!

[...If Elliot can’t hear him over Eren’s screaming, it might look like Rean’s tying those rather than trying to remove them... whoops?]

[ God. ]

But I haven't even had the chance to make him a perfect reindeer...

[ Yusuke Kitagawa: he helps. ]

[ —!!!!!

dear lord, rean, eren chokes out air when his vices are tightened rather than released. he hears it, though. he hears it through this terror house. his angel is here.

his time has come. his fourth oscar . . . cometh. eren thrashes around like a fish out of water and not caring if he’s hitting himself because you see— ]

ELLIOT!!

[

he’s crying. ]

[ The ties on Eren are pretty secure thanks to Akira's time with the scouts when he was in Japan, so good luck, Rean. Friendship is inflicting things they don't dislike on them because this is Revenge.

Akira just gestures over to their reindeer while looking at Yusuke. Go ahead. Paint the nose. ]

[Oh no is that the screams and cries of his love? Unfortunately through it, he does not hear Rean's protest. Instead he's rushing down there to see what's going on and--

The frick did he just walk in on??]

WHAT ARE YOU THREE DOING TO HIM?!?

[That was his response exactly, Elliot! But in response to being yelled at, Rean immediately lets go of the ties. He's not really helping, anyway (sorry, Eren).]

I don't know what they're doing! I just heard him yelling and I'm trying to get him out!

[And failing, but you know! Trying!]

[ oh no not the red nose . . . there’s a pause here, and he looks each one of them in the eye with just this face ]

[ before incoherent sobbing intensifies?? how is eren such a great liar in the wrong moments?? sorry, rean. he can’t back you up right now, he needs that oscar. ]

[ Wordlessly, Yusuke just leans over and daubs a blob of red on his nose.

Wonderful. ]

I am adding to the aesthetics of the situation. Whatever Akira and Eren choose to do in their spare time is between them.

[ And ~~MorriganJesus~~ ... well. God, maybe? ]

Somehow I thought you may have been aware of this. But it seems I was incorrect.
