[ so, if the last week and a half of september wasn’t just weird for these two, it’d be more lies. a big fat lie stuffed with lies. other than getting turned into a murder suspect, eren was that way on their anniversary, and after that— hmm, maybe akira wanted so much help with things or this or that, or just getting into “deep conversations” , that elliot couldn’t leave house mochi whenever they had dates. it’s fine!! it’s fine, eren could come over.
and still be sort of weirdly, weirdly quiet. he doesn’t want to end up alone with elliot because during another time when pressed he probably gave him another awkward nerd pearl: something along the lines of being drift compatible. this is embarrassing. he even had to use the “i’m getting sick” card to rectify his behavior but what good does that do? elliot’s a healer. eren can’t actually get sick anymore, anyway.
maybe it’s stress. look at him. poor guy.
until everything is back to normal, until eren runs to fix things and put the finishing touch on the rings. until he doesn’t even text elliot when he arrives at mochi unannounced this night. his heart is rushing through beats like a machine gun, he’s using maneuver gear instead of a car because he’d get there so much faster, but— he’s doing this!!! he’s making this happen!!! today is a special, special day and eren made timing work out just right, thank the lord. it’s october 1st. eren got his first kiss, from his first and probably only love, on october 1st.
he’s knocking on the door, he’s throwing pebbles at the window, he’s—
oh he’s hanging on the window. hi, open the window. ]
OCTOBER FIRST LIKE THE WIND and my thumb slipped the first time
