Even if it looks lackluster in Eren's eyes, Elliot's eyes still light up when he sees it. He smiles warmly, not surprised that of course Eren would have some surprise gift. Eren was a big planner, and anniversaries were something worth noting]
Aww, thank you. What is it?
no subject
eren holds the paper bag to him on his lap and waiting for elliot’s hands to take the hoops. eren’s other arm is settling over his boyfriend’s opposite shoulder and arm, giving it an admiring squeeze and keeping his lips pressed to elliot’s temple. a warm kiss for a warm moment.
opening the little bag and shifting through some of the gift wrapping paper, it’s—
it’s
his coyote tango lego model
because it takes
two to tango
(but he’ll never say that outloud, ever)
but yes, the weird thing is that it’s actually one of eren’s displayed models. it was that rushed of a gift. he is sorry he couldn’t even build one just for elliot, but he presents his own lego baby with love. ]
no subject
He opens the gift and.....stares at it. Okay so...it's a mech? He thinks he's seen it around Eren's apartment. But....why would he be giving this....
Did it have some secret meaning? He turns the robot around in his arms, trying to get some context because WHO GIVES A LEGO ROBOT FOR AN ANNIVESARY GIFT. But he's doing his best to keep a smile up, even if it's clearly very confused!!!]
Aha....
I think I need context for this one, Eren.

because eren is turning shades of color very fast. from pink, to cherry, to purple, he’s turning eggplant purple and it’s really hot all of a sudden like, you can cook an egg on his forehead, he’s sweating for real now, he’s cornered, he can feel it, this is the last time he ever trusts akira ]
It’s, Coyote Tango . . . And it— takes . . .
[ he wants to throw up, but instead he just smiles awkwardly and stupidly and, gestures
that he can’t speak. he is, in fact, shaking. look at those fingers. like damn!!!. ]

[Nani da fuq]
Takes....two to tango?
[Yeah trusting Akira was 100% your first mistake. Elliot is just very confused here]
no subject
god!! god, what does he do. ]
—I want you to have my favorite.
[ eren all of them are your favorites ]
no subject
Um....Thanks?
Though I thought...Optimus...was your favorite...?
[you get weepy at all his speeches about freedom!!!]
no subject
That’s— That’s in Transformers. Coyote’s from AltRim.
[ even though eren’s favorite is optimus prime and his red ears are screaming
no subject
This is not how he expected the anniversary to go. I mean, it's not TERRIBLE. Eren's not breaking up with him or revealing he's been cheating on him or that he's dying again. But....
What do you even say to this. ]
Ah...w-well, okay. It's sweet? Thank you....
[he clears his throat]
Anyway, I wrote you a song. Want me to play it?
no subject
he just prays that this doesn’t permanently scar elliot into thinking something is very, very wrong with eren. at least afterwards, he’ll always when eren is trying to hide something. read: he can’t hide it, because eren jaeger doesn’t just try.
eren jaeger tries too god damn much. ]
Of— [ a song? a song, oh my god. eren’s face lights up and ecstatically, he begins to gesture, only because the thick swallow he gives is caught in his throat. ] Of course, I, wow— [ ahem!! ] Please. You don’t, you don’t even need to ask—
[ please help him forget about his shitty present ]
no subject
But for now, Elliot is going to try his best to salvage what he can, even if Eren is being...completely weird. He gives a smile and nod before he moves to get his violin: his truest love.
Yeah, when all else fails, go to music]
