[ he can feel the excitement in this text and it’s the greatest thing. his bird is soaring . . . ! ]

we know how much you already do
with all the hard work you’ve put into playing until now, you really deserve it elliot
you’ll take the cake, easy

[fiddlestick]

Haha, you're so good to me.
It is one step closer to the dream!
If I really nail this, maybe I'll get hired for other events.

[usurpers]

that’s what i was thinking
i’ll be able to see you in those too, right?

[fiddlestick]

Of course!
Even if I get super famous.
You'll always have a front row seat.

[usurpers]

[ doki ]

i’ll always be there for it
speaking of front row seats...
you have the 18th free?

[fiddlestick]

The 18th?
Yeah, I think so.
Why?

[usurpers]

[ YES eren says as he slams his fists into a nearby table. eren is typing might come up before he stops. you know what? even better. it might take a few moments, but finally, in comes a picture, two tickets placed one on top of the other. it says, in bold letters: HOLLYWOOD IN RECOLLÉ BY NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, 8PM. the seating is up front, one of the greatest viewing and listening spots in the theater—

not only that, but anyone really into music would know about this annual film music gala, where the world’s most well known cinematic score composers are honored with beautifully played covers.

he had to dig since last month for it, and maybe churn out a few extra bucks, but it’s very, very worth it. thank you, military priority. ]

come with me?

[fiddlestick]

omg.

[He gasps on his end, covering his mouth. Oh, does he know what those seat numbers mean- and the gala too!! He heard about it!! But he figured there was no way he could get in on his student budget]

Of course!!!

[usurpers]

it’s a date then
i’ll pick you up at 7

i really want to see the face you’re making right now.

[ it’s probably the best face ]

[fiddlestick]

Okay!

Oh no, it's super embarrassing.

[It's definitely the best face]

[usurpers]

that’s impossible
i’d kill to see it

[ come on ]

[fiddlestick]

[God Eren. But fine, he guesses it's only fair. He'll switch to facetime. He's definitely blushing a lot, and he's got a stupid smile on his face. ]

Th-There happy?

[usurpers]

[ he makes that very well known once he fixates a good look at him, and exchanges the smile right back. titanic dork. but honestly, he’s a lot more happy to see him like that than the fact that they’re going to a music gala, that’s a given. it’s all with elliot in mind, but he already knows it’ll be so very worth it.. ]

A lot. Especially with you like that. [ he tried his best to research, but . . . looks like he hit a good note. ] Excited?

[fiddlestick]

Heehee, jeez...

[So embarrassing!! But yeah, he's clearly happy]

Yeah! I love going to the orchestra. And it'll be even better with you there.

[usurpers]

[ so blessed. so moved. so grateful. cant believe this is my life. never going to take it for granted. always going to give back. thank you ]

My first time going to one of these. Well— I think Dad tried to take me when I was little, once.

[ that. didn’t work out too that well. ]

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, I could see your dad doing that...

[And that it did not go great.]

Well, I hope you like! Some people find it boring, but there's nothing like hearing a live orchestra.

[usurpers]

I wanted to crash the symbols. [ he was the devil’s child. ] And I like the music ‘cause of you, so— [ live performances were the best of the artist was good. ] I don’t doubt it.

[ ever since they traded things online when they were younger, and elliot being into it, especially the violin—! he was shown a lot more in music than his aggressive guitar strumming and hoarse screaming in the background tastes. ]

Can’t wait for my front row seat to see you play at the wedding.

[ eren you’re supposed to pay attention to the wedding ]

[fiddlestick]

Haha, awww. That's cute. [Devil's child indeed- but who doesn't want to do that?] I'm glad I could win you over.

[Score one for music!!]

U-um, you know the families of the bride and groom get the front row, right? It is their wedding.

[usurpers]

[ you did much more than win him over elliot . . .

but suddenly, eren gives an awkward quirk of lips, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. he’s forgetting this is actually a wedding. ]

I’ll stand, then. [ then he’ll get the best seat in the house! like. better than front seats. anyway, though, the awkward in his smile almost seems apologetic. because it is, and his palm covers half his face. ] I didn’t even ask who they were.

[ he just got intensely excited about his boyfriend playing at an event. ]

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, just sit where you're asked to sit, and you let to come to one of our final rehearsals, okay?

[You can have front seat row there!!!]

It's Sorey and Mikleo. They're really nice!

[usurpers]

[ well, okay. he’ll nod to that. it’s a deal. he’ll have the whole front row to him!! to bask in the glory of elliot’s instrumentation. ]

I think I heard that name at the dojo, once. [ but he didn’t get a chance to actually talk to him, or meet him— he was probably absorbed in getting regains or giving some sparring tips of his own. ] Met them here?

[fiddlestick]

[Eren he'd legit play or sing for you anytime you asked.

He gives a nod] Yeah. Sorey was really nice to me when I first got the app. And they both work at Club Sunshine now, so I see them at work.

[You know where he performs on weekends]

[usurpers]

[ it’s about time he made a visit, actually . . . ]

How’s that going, actually?

[fiddlestick]

It's going really well! The boss is good, and the rest of the staff's nice too. And it's really nice to have a steady income. Street performing is so...unpredictable, you know?

[usurpers]

It’s even better when you’re getting paid for something you love doing.

[ in actuality, eren’s own income as an airman was fairly mediocre if you compared it to how much he actually has and spends. thank u dad, for not being an asshole when it came to learning about investing and baby’s first cash. then again that was before eren said “no” to medicine . . . ]

I need to show you how to apply that, if you want. That’s how I get my stuff running.

[ that cash, index fund, THE CRAzy things you’d think eren wouldn’t know. ]
