THE GRAPES OF WRATH; 11/3

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-04 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Elliot had been pretty upset about October, but finding a member of Class VII had done wonders to lift his spirits. A year of searching and worrying, and he finally found someone. And even better, it was someone he liked and got along well with! Talking to Crow felt like talking to an old friend, even without relying on the memories. It was more than he had hoped for.

What more, for the first time in forever, he felt real hope that the others were out there too somewhere. If he and Crow were both in this world, then maybe the other nine were too, just waiting to be found. Even if he was sure things would be different in this life than they were in the memories, it still was a huge weight off his chest knowing that there was a good chance the people his other self found so precious were okay.

All that aside, he was excited to introduce Crow to the people precious to Elliot in this lifetime. Eren was an obvious first choice, especially since Crow said he wanted to meet him. A few conversations (where Elliot basically gushed happiness) with his fiance, and he arranged for them to meet at Big Bang Burgers on Saturday.

By the time Crow gets there, Elliot and Eren are already there. Elliot's got one of the smaller burger meals for himself (which he hasn't touched), and having trouble holding still just from both excitement and nerves. His fingers keep absentmindedly drumming piano chords on the table, and his foot keeps tapping. His two lives colliding, oh boy. He sure hopes this goes well. ]

[ for a crisp november afternoon, it’s a great day to wear boots (although eren probably wears boots everyday regardless of the weather). a stylish man today, manbun flawless and going with a bold choice: a cosmo burger that’s still being prepared somewhere. he’ll just have to burn it all off at the gym before his arteries can complain.

the best part of the day still has to be his fiancé, in which eren just can’t. for the love of him. stop staring at! look how happy he is— look how giddy he is! sipping on his ginger ale and keeping his arm on top of the bunk of elliot’s seat, eren’s got this big set of blue eyes that just

they’re gooey and mushy and at maximum love drive. if this makes elliot happy, he wants to keep it forever. the mystery person from his past life makes eren curious, but just as eager to meet the friend that brings his partner importance. ]


You look happy. [ he says, flirting with a bump of his shoulder into elliot’s and a snagged look up and down. elliot is magnificently radiant when he’s happy. it’s beautiful. ]

[Elliot gives one of his light laughs as Eren bumps his shoulder, smiling over at his fiance. He looks good today!! He means, Eren always looks good, but the point still stand.]

Aha, I am. Though also a little nervous.

[Elliot you're always nervous]

[ more than he would like! eren’s mid-sip, swallowing to soon speak up and say i’m sure they’re great before the voice makes him slowly

whip

around



his stare can glide through paper just like a pair of sharp scissors, crow being paper. why did he have to show up! the guy that thought that important classes were the emergency classes only! he sleeps through math! he’d rather be playing cards than studying?? he feeds himself horribly and in eren’s honest opinion— he needs help! he needs help or else people will die by his hand! he wouldn’t want to be the guy rushed to an ambulance if crow were carrying him!

no instead they get “big deck energy” and “titty yeet” or whatever the fuck he saw on his notes last time. from the death stare comes a narrow eyed glare, and obviously— he thinks crow is talking to him.

because why would this disaster of a professional example be good old friends with the bae ]


Not you.

[ please go away before he needs to introduce you. ]

[Unfortunately for Eren and Crow, this nightmare scenario is about to become reality. Elliot misses Eren's reaction, because he was too busy reacting to Crow's voice. He turns his head and looks up at the other, smiling with a level of familiarity that could only mean One Thing: ]

Hey Crow, you made it!

[He knew him.

He gestures for Crow to sit down at the table at an open spot. Either next to Elliot or next to Eren, whatever Crow feels is safer (answer, probably neither is the right answer)]


Hehe, Crow, this is my fiance, Eren. And Eren, this is Crow. He's the guy from Class VII I told you about.

[Only then does he notice that hey, Eren sure has his unhappy face on]

...Um, what's with that face?

[ and then elliot speaks and keeps speaking and—

these are some terrible connections he’s making right now, and as crow backs off, eren’s hands gesture, incredulously while he word fumbles because—]


Him? He’s–?!

[ what kind of sick joke??? is this??? ]
fiddlestick: (why is this)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-05 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
[.....Um.

Okay. This is not at all how he imagined it to go. Even in his worst case scenarios he thought up, this didn't happen]


Um...

D-Do you two...know each other?

[Sounding concerned and confused here. What is going on? Did he mess up somehow? ]

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-11-05 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ because why eren jaeger, right

if there’s one thing eren can catch like breathing air, it’s when someone’s forcing things. the smile looks yellow and fake and it makes him grind his teeth, roll his eyes and lay his face flat against the table, arms covering him. at least be honest that you’re not liking this!! like eren!!

he cannot. fucking. believe this.

fate.

makes.

eren.

groan.

but he lifts his head, he breathes all the irritation induced redness on his cheeks outward and cools off. he can’t believe they possibly ruined elliot’s good mood. he’s afraid to even look at him, but— he does, and he can’t fake what he feels. ]


—Yeah. [ YEAH ] He’s from your memories?

[ ..........

Who do these two think they're kidding....?

This is really not how he expected this meeting to go. He can feel his disappointment welling up. It was tempting to get upset about it, he sure felt it. But he bites back that urge, what with these two acting like children.

So, he takes a deep breath to steel himself and--]


Crow, please sit down. People are starting to stare.

Eren, you know this isn't how you behave in front of someone we invited.

[it is said calmly, but firmly. Like a mom]

So, you two know each other from school?

[ the power of such a small macaroni is displayed to the world: eren falls silent while crow takes his seat, tempted to nag about the way he sits but instead, eren himself sits completely upright and simply nods. ]

—Right.

[ no questions asked. would you like him to roll himself out on the ground so you don’t have to step on the dirty floor, honey? of course. please, step on him. you’re allowed.

crow no longer gets any frowns or glares his way, no matter how much eren’s features visibly twitch to do so. he is simply. he. he’s a good boy. ]


He just— needs to put more effort into some classes and, [ ah there’s his cosmo burger. clearing his throat, attention directs itself to that monstrosity instead. at least he could, like, eat this.

eren is still trying to situate his caring aggression and it’s hard and he’s suddenly awkward. please don’t force him to smile, it’ll be terrifying. ]

[MUCH BETTER BOYS. Elliot relaxes and offers a small smile when both of them comply. yes good boys. It's not perfect, but it's much better!]

Thank you. [YOU'RE A GOOD BOY EREN SEE? A GOOD BOY]

Yeah, you sure didn't mention that before! I knew you were at RU but I didn't know what you were going for...what a small world.

[And he sure hears that start of a sentence. Yep. sounds like Eren]

Aha, I know I know. You care a lot about how your classmates do. But we're not at school today, right?

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-11-07 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ and just like that, eren’s eyes dive into a death glare straight at crow. you know what it looks like as he dips some fries in ketchup?



he’s going wrap your legs up in string and deep fry you like thanksgiving turkey for taking advantage of his situation. deep fry you.

and with the stare still placed like digging daggers, he’s going to take his finger full of fries and RIP OFF THEIR HEADS, WITH HIS TEETH, LIKE HE WANTS TO DO RIGHT NOW

AND AGGRESSIVELY MUNCH SO THE CROW FRIES WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AGAIN ]

Eren. [He still has his smile, but there's a warning to his tone. WHAT DID HE JUST SAY MISTER.

But then he returns back to the conversation with Crow. He would point out that his past self's grades weren't exactly good either, but...you know, if Eren is going to keep acting like a child, he'll sit on that one.]


That's cool though! And it really explains how you were able to keep so calm during everything. [A glance at Eren] Crow was the one who cured me during the infection last month, even though he was brand new to the app and didn't know what was going on.

[He scratches his jaw with his index finger]

Ahaha if I'd been in your shoes, I probably would've been screaming my head off.

[ eren doesn’t say nor do anything other than briefly narrow his eyes at crow to not do that again, but other than that, yes, he will swallow his fries, and begin finishing the rest off like a normal, hungry looking person. just because his fiancé is asking doesn’t mean he won’t chew you out later, neither are you safe.

(crow was the child first anyway)

sliding the tray into the middle of the table, he exposes the rest of the fries. have at it. he’ll stay quiet for the most part, nodding at elliot. considering, yes, crow also cured him and his mother, but no free buttpats for you you don’t deserve it.

eren’s just a big damn tsundere where crow is involved. ]


That’s why you’re pre-EMT.

[ whether that was a compliment or statement, w/e. he doesn’t want to care at this point (except he’s so invested that he does care). there’s something else at the tip of his tongue, but he swallows it with a piece of his burger.

another jab at crow’s grades would have elliot step on him. not that he would be against that, but, there’s a time and place for everything. ]

fiddlestick: (sweet aidios....)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-13 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Jeez...that's the only reaction he gets from Eren? He surely thought bringing up that Crow saving him would get more of a reaction, but it looks like Eren's taking pages out of disapproving parenting book. Just what was Crow and Eren's relationship exactly? It's not like Crow's the first slacker Eren's ever met....

Whatever. He'll carry this conversation himself if he has to]


Haha, yeah. A trait like that is a really good thing to have as an EMT.

[He leans back in his seat, reaching over to take one of Eren's fries because heck yes fiancee rights. He munches on his like a normal soft human being. ]

I wonder if you'll have healing magic too. I don't actually remember yet what your abilities are.

[It's a nice thought Elliot, but.]
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-11-14 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ shut up man tiddy

but, answer: it’s the first slacker eren’s ever met and seen beyond that. he cares more than he’s letting on!! soon, elliot will know. maybe when the talk turns into terrorism and they share a mutual understanding of What Must Be Done. at least they aren’t getting more stares, and eren doesn’t bite crow’s hand off for taking a fry.

crow knows how to handle eren, at least. and hey, maybe he did mean to compliment him. without doing too much of it.

crow knows how much he’s grateful for curing him and his mother. elliot, even more so. but you give loose reigns to a floppy dog, they think they can lay all over your couch. no. ]


He looks more like a heavy hitter to me. [ see? he can converse!!! ] The kind that needs to recharge a lot but does good damage..
fiddlestick: (hmmm)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2018-11-14 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh yeah, these two bonding over terrorism. That's exactly what Elliot wants. Not at all troubling.

But seeing Eren making an attempt to converse makes him relax just a little. This...definitely started on a rough spot, but maybe it can improve? Elliot is forever hopeful okay.]


Hmm, you think so? It's hard to picture him with a sword like Yusuke or Laura's though...
