It’s . . . Not a lot.

[ eren that’s three buckets of ice cream ]

[fiddlestick]

Eren it's three buckets. Even one is a lot for a couple people.

[usurpers]

[ “quick!” says eren’s subconscious, “act natural!” as he pops one open and digs his spoon in. mind you, he has not received warhammer at this time. ]

I’m hungry.

[ not that natural!!! ]

[fiddlestick]

[Eren you are not good at this. Bless your heart]

Three buckets worth hungry?

[it sounds like he doesn't believe you. Maybe you need to act more natural]

[usurpers]

[ . . . ]

Three buckets worth anxiety.

[ he gives. sort of a sheepish half-smile here. he’s being honest! stress eating is a blessing when he needed it plus he’d just work extra hard to burn it all off the next day. ]

Sorry.

[fiddlestick]

[oh Eren...Elliot will give him a soft smile]

Hey, you don't have to be sorry. You deal with my anxiety a lot.

[He'll reach over and run that hand through his hair.]

But I don't want either of us to get sick, so how about we put two of those buckets in the freezer and just eat from one?

[usurpers]

[ elliot has a way with words!! and if you check the freezer it’s all full of the same ice cream hHMMMM I WONDER WHO PUT THAT THERE, but, maybe he probably already knows (or not and eren is just eluding himself): ]

There’s still room?

[ innocence, thy name is “eren why”. ]

[fiddlestick]

Er, good question. I know there was some ice cream in there--

[Ice cream that looks...exactly like this one


. . . ]

Eren why are you buying so much ice cream for us?

[usurpers]

[












s hit ]

I promised Akira I’d buy ice cream.

[ but it has nothing to do with anxiety!! he takes another spoonful, and halfway through eating he comments with wide eyes. ]

The rest didn’t fit so I took it home until the new fridge comes.

[fiddlestick]

[ . . . ]

What new fridge?

[usurpers]

[ one fear

in which akira didn’t say jack shit ]

It was on sale at the Costco we went.

[ the costco!!!!! ]

[fiddlestick]

[????]

The Costco?

[Your one fear has been realized]

[usurpers]

[ yeah eat ice cream with him and pretend he didn’t buy a new fridge for mochi ]

I almost got lost in there. You ever been to one?

[fiddlestick]

Um...yeah? That's where I buy ingredients for the food I sell.

-- Are you saying you haven't?

[usurpers]

[ he ]

. . . I’ve always gone to Whole Foods.

[fiddlestick]

Wow, really? But they're so overpriced...

[Anyway]

So..you went to costco with Akira, got lost, and somehow bought us a fridge?

[usurpers]

[ and an AC for the summer. and maybe like, two roombas. ]

Yeah. [ . . . ] Surprise?

[fiddlestick]

That's....a word for it.

[he sighs. he could argue but...it's so late at night ok. who has the energy for that.]

So in other words, don't let Akira take you shopping. Got it.

[usurpers]

[ at least it’s too late to argue!!! thank god. eren can keep smiling, and eat ice cream, and—

shit more than half of the carton is already gone. elliot!!!! ]

You need to eat this before I do.

[ he hands it over (but not without taking another spoonful. don’t worry they’ll open another one). ]

[fiddlestick]

[Yes you got lucky!!! Will this hold in the morning, who knows]

-- Already?? Eren slow down, you'll give yourself brain freeze!

[But fine, he'll take that spoon to eat some. At least it's an unusually warm January for this!]

[usurpers]

We can open another one then?

[ which he’s already doing so that elliot can keep the rest for his own stomach. eren jaeger is out of control ]

And listen to some music.

[ please don’t do anything that can remind one of dramatic romances or else he’ll cry. unless you want eren jaeger crying with ice cream. ]

[fiddlestick]

How will that stop brain freeze-

[HE SIGHS as another gets open. No point in arguing, Eren is reminding him of music]

What kind of music do you want?

[usurpers]

That one you made for me for our anniversary.

[ a bad choice, but his heart is stronger than him. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Oh Eren.]

That song?

Um, okay... Is it okay if I just play the music file? It's hard to eat ice cream and play violin at the same time.

[usurpers]

That’s perfect. You need to eat, too.

[ eren jaeger is already a mess because who the fuck taught him how to eat ice cream, he looks

questionable like has he ever used a spoon before. ]
