The Coven. Got off work not long ago.

Okay.

[ that's all, unless otherwise prompted! he's making his way over and looking for him, following an invisible thread laced with scent weaving the halls of the coven castle. eren knew some students, especially miss moore and her puca bonded, saying hello along the way but not actually taking long. he's on a mission. ]

[Following the Bond will lead Eren eventually to the courtyard, the same one they met at. Elliot's leaning against a pillar, idly scrolling through messages on the communicator as he waits for Eren to show.

When he gets close enough, he'll feel it on the bond and look up- giving a little wave as the dragon approaches]

[ there! there he was. something underneath eren's ribs jump when he ultimately decides to pick up his pace, not really bothering to wave as he did. looks like it's urgent, with how his pulse is actually racing in his ears— ]

[Okay that...is not a casual approach. Neutral greetings turns to a little worry as he approaches.]

Er...something wrong?

[ —oh, great the worry has stilted him into some slight anxiety that bleeds through, but not a permanent problem! coming to a stop in front of elliot, he tries to gesture, raises a hand behind his head, then two as fingers and claws scrambled for his long black locks and twirled them into a bun that loosened as soon as he dropped his wingspan— alright.

eren grips the witch between the middle of his arms, the space right before his shoulders and elbow, leans down, lifts elliot some— kisses him, then.

sets him back down. ]

—Not anymore.

[!

Elliot was used to Eren suddenly deciding to come see him, it's just how Eren was. However, never did these sudden meet ups start off like this. He's lifted up easily by Eren, and then he finds lips pressed against him in a kiss.

It's...really surprising, but Elliot doesn't think twice before he kisses back, living in the moment. It's only when he's set back down does the bond start to share a feeling of confusion. But...it's a happy confusion. He liked it, clearly]

Aha... not that I'm complaining, but what was that for?

I— [ he didn't think he'd get asked, in fact, he didn't really consider anything after the fact and nearly draws a blank. there was only one explanation that eren finds as he wets his lips from aftertaste and looks down. ] Felt like it.

[Ah, this was another one of Eren's impulses huh? Well, Elliot didn't really mind. If anything...it made him happy, that Eren tracked him down to kiss him just because he felt like it. ]

Hehe, fair enough.

[But if they are doing things they felt like...then Elliot's going to respond in kind. Wrapping his arms around his waist, just below the wings, he'll lean close enough to rest his head against Eren's chest. His eyes are closed, and there's a fond smile on his face]

I'm really lucky to have met you. I wouldn't trade our time together for the world.

[The words were sincere, heartfelt.]

[ stoooooppppp sTOOOOOOOOOOP

]

[ he wasn't ready for these words today and probably never would have been. some hesitation marks eren's pause, so many questions and thoughts running in and out of his head that any longer and his bonded's hug would've been awkwardly unreciprocated— but that would've been stupid. far beyond stupid when he just kissed him. eren slinks and fills the hovering hole with his own hug, wings covering the witch's back and his head resting on top of orange hair (that looked lime, but eren would never say much to it since its been that way for so long).

these words are real and his hold goes tighter, warmer, but he can't help but to ask with question, especially when he said he wouldn't trade it for the world since that carries a shitton of weight for him now: ]

Why—?

[ it's a mood killer, but he had to know. eren would make those words real down to a horrifying point. he would trade the world for his friends and the time they still had, he just couldn't wrap himself around the idea as to why anyone would do the same for him. he hates himself, that much— but he doesn't hate elliot, and hugs him just that much tighter. ]

[Lucky for Eren, Elliot is pretty used to reactions like this. Years of Rean hating on himself at every turn made it hard to be shocked that someone doesn't see why people would care about them. And considering what Eren's told Elliot bits of what he's done....yeah, he can't be surprised Eren would host those same doubts. ]

Because I like you.

[It's a simple answer, and he knows it]

Sorry, I know that's a simple answer. But I'm sure if I listed off reasons, you'd just pick them apart.

[ it may be simple, but perhaps it's just the only one he needs. further reasoning were even more opinions than a simple likeness and he wouldn't believe them, or debunk them. a good call, and after a moment, eren huffs into his bonded's hair and squeezes him just a little tighter. ]

You don't . . . Need another reason. [ the same way he's said the same thing to people in doubt of his own presence which just— felt silly. hypocritical? yes. of all times, he remembers his brother telling him off about mikasa. a little muffled: ] Sorry.

[ a moment of weakness that he's burning red for. ]

Eheh... [He gives a little squeeze back in return. He's pretty used to being squeezed tight. Honestly Eren may be a dragon, but his dad is even worse about this so he'll tolerate it]

Nothing to be sorry about to me. [To other people? Sure! But to him? No] I know it's easy to doubt your own value...you've had to correct me on that many times.

[ hah. right. ]

Pot reminds kettle. [ that even with their differences . . . he'll appreciate the similarities. and not throwing it at each other. slinking out of the hug eventually leaves eren hovering there in front of him, and, well. he shrugs. ] Want to go on a walk?

Hehe, right. [Elliot knew what he meant. Even though Eren and Elliot were radically different in many ways...they had a lot more similarities than people would expect, at least in some things.

But he steps back from that hug, still reaching out to take one of Eren's hands into both of his]

I'd really like that.
