[ 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. ]
[ 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): ]

I’m hungry.
[ not that natural!!! ]
no subject
Three buckets worth hungry?
[it sounds like he doesn't believe you. Maybe you need to act more natural]
no subject
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.
no subject
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?
no subject
There’s still room?
[ innocence, thy name is “eren why”. ]
no subject
[Ice cream that looks...exactly like this one
. . . ]
Eren why are you buying so much ice cream for us?
no subject
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.
no subject
What new fridge?
no subject
in which akira didn’t say jack shit ]
It was on sale at the Costco we went.
[ the costco!!!!! ]
no subject
The Costco?
[Your one fear has been realized]
no subject
I almost got lost in there. You ever been to one?
no subject
-- Are you saying you haven't?
no subject
. . . I’ve always gone to Whole Foods.
no subject
[Anyway]
So..you went to costco with Akira, got lost, and somehow bought us a fridge?
no subject
Yeah. [ . . . ] Surprise?
no subject
[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.
no subject
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). ]
no subject
-- 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!]
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
[HE SIGHS as another gets open. No point in arguing, Eren is reminding him of music]
What kind of music do you want?
no subject
[ a bad choice, but his heart is stronger than him. ]
no subject
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.
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
Aha, okay. Hold on-
[he grabs his phone and hits a few buttons before this starts playing. It's quieter than it would be if he put on his speakers, but it is the middle of the night]
