[There's a flutter in Eren's chest. He's only weeks out of the labyrinth, and he doesn't deserve more than he's already been given (he feels that's unfair enough already), but here he is, and it feels alright to just have something simple like a kiss, and a boyfriend.

[He's supposed to live in this world without causing trouble. He's not sure he can do that, but if he has to be here, then he has to...have things, want things...

[Subaru's already been good for him. He ought to tell him that...He's not sure how.

[He observes their hands, sitting between their laps. He fiddles with them, turning Subaru's over in his.]

And you've made me feel alright. Not much else does lately...
