[Subaru comes to a conclusion in his mind: there is absolutely, positively, no way he can fall asleep like this!
But Eren is warm, and it’s hard not to feel safe around him. His time is ticking down.]
It’s not good for you to be right all the time. [His back arches slightly, not unlike a cat, at the touch.] If you’re not careful, it’s all gonna go to your head.
[Despite everything, Eren is still a creature of Pride. Additionally, he is pretty certain that he's right all the time; yes, even then...
[It's enough to make him smile just a little, but Subaru can't see it. Eren's fingers curl and drag over his friend's back. He knows how much he likes the way that feels. If Subaru's saying that he's right, then he'll show him how right he is.]
[Eren shifts a leg until it's shin-to-shin with Subaru's. He's still pressed up against his heart, listening. Subaru is nervous, and it's cruel that he can't even get any satisfaction from knowing he's made his miserable friend smile.
[The fingers on Subaru's back dip down in a solid line against his spine; it's not a sharp gesture, but certainly measured. Eren can't help himself. It's just charming. Subaru gets so flustered over nothing...
[As we've all learned, Eren doesn't mind a power trip.]
What are you worried about? [Even with the dry tone, it sounds slightly teasing.]

[He says, like he’s not keenly aware.]
I-I guess just talking about that stuff got me feeling pretty anxious, that’s all…
[That’s all.]
no subject
[He's really cute, actually.]
It feels good, right? [Fingers comb over Subaru's back, feet brushing.] Told you.

Try to relax. I won't bite you.

That’s really not what I’m worried about…
[And then tries to get some control of himself. Deep, regular breaths. 1, 2. There we go.]

N-nothing!
[There is nothing going through his head right now, no sir.]
no subject
[Eren's going to kiss him the next time he sees him.
[He intertwines their legs together, closes his eyes.]
Night. Subaru.

…Goodnight, Eren.
