[Eren is…awfully close. He has been for a while now, with the two of them entangled, but only now has he really become aware of it.
It makes his pulse quicken. He doesn’t know what to attribute it to.
There’s the impulse to pull away, embarrassed, but isn’t that reading too much into it? He and Eren are just sharing a moment, one that means so much to both of them. He’d loathe to ruin it.]
…Guess not. [He says, after too long a pause. His words are a little too quick, voice a little too nervous.] S-so don’t try to fight it, okay?
[It feels good to be close; something natural to Eren. He never did shy away from getting close to a friend, a comrade, when the situation called for it. In the cadets' barracks, they all shared beds. It's natural, but...
[There is this impulse - it screams "fuck it". Nothing matters anymore. With their heads pressed together, he can feel breath on his lips, and he knows what comes next.
[But he and Subaru aren't like that.
[Eren leans away. When he drops his arms from around Subaru's neck, he brushes a hand roughly through the boy's hair.]

Alright. I won't, then.

Just what exactly was that?
There’s no time, no chance to unpack it. Everything’s moved on. He decides he doesn’t need to.
They’re just friends. They’re just really good friends.]
R-right… [He’s a little dazed, but then nods.] Good! Yeah, that’s good.
[Help him.]

[He sighs, back to his usual self. He takes his hand and gets up.]
Wait - we didn’t even get to have lunch yet!
