[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. ]

[fiddlestick]

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?

[fiddlestick]

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.
