[ it was equally satisfying and flattering, that heād go out of his way to simply remind him. it meant he had enough consideration and worry for him to still be around. cool and dashing bodyguard. the thing that made his heart skip the first time and he figured itās just a compliment, and still, inwardly wanting for it to be something else. and here they were now. his ears never fail to go red.
blond hos and red scarves got nothing on elliot
eren gives a light laugh, it was true. that just came with the package of feelings of adoration, else you . . . probably donāt really like them. it was part of any relationship and even strengthened it. eren just hope he can keep that at a healthy level. protective as he was, he didnāt want to be that guy. ] You knowā the minute you start feeling that, or if you feel like youāre cagedā Iād want you to end things. [ because for someone who promotes freedom so much, the last thing heād ever want in the world was to make the person he loved feel like he constantly had his wings clipped, or couldnāt do what he wanted in fear of what eren thought. thatād mean eren was gone.
with one arm slipping away from elliotās face to pull his body closer to his, eren brushes some of his ginger hair away from his face to see those very green eyes. with security in his hold, and true assurance: ]
But I wonāt let that happen as long as Iām around. And I donāt think youāll need an excuse to show me anything either.
[ heāll always want to see them, and softly, he plants a kiss to the corner of his lips. ]
[Oh Eren. He was always the serious type, or the one to worry the most about himself. Elliot appreciated the sentiment, but...he had a hard time seeing that happened. Eren caging him? Eren was the one to really go out of his way to kick his cage open- to remind Elliot why freedom was so important.]
Ehe, you're way too hard on yourself sometimes. [IRONIC considering what Eren is constantly chiding him for] I know you won't let that happen. B-But I guess you can do the same if I ever start caging you?
[I mean, fair is fair. But he'll smile at at that kiss on the corner of his lip. He'll lean forward to return the kiss, this time fully on Eren's lips- but still soft and gentle]
[ birds of a feather, indeed. eren just seems to smile at that, butā at least if they were aware of it, they wouldnāt ever let it get to that. dangerous would be ignoring possibilities, no matter how remote. fair was fair though, right? even if elliot . . . wouldnāt do that either.
but that was the whole point. erenās answer is enough to be felt with the way he smiles against the kiss, holding it and returning. there was one thing missing, though; who knew taste would be making a difference. he parts his mouth a little to deepen, to at at least get the best of his other senses like his smell, from erenās nose to his cheek, and touch, from his hands on him, one brushing through his hair in a gentle rake while the other encircles around to pull him sidewaysāand to his lips, of course. even with it gone, heāll still make it a good kiss. ]
[Birds of a feather that'll flock together as long as possible. At least, that was Elliot's plan. In almost every scenario he thought up of his future, Eren was there. That's all there was to it.
A kiss without a sense of taste is...well, it's surprisingly weird. The kiss isn't bad per say, feeling the texture of Eren's lips, smelling Eren's scent, the feeling of those hands on him as he pulls him sideways - all of that felt good. But the lack of taste was still something getting used to.
Still, he'll go along with the kiss. He'll shift closer to bring himself as next to Eren as possible. His own arms will slide over Eren's shoulder and to around his neck, bringing him closer to the other.
When the kiss breaks for a moment, Elliot stays near. ]
Aha, the lack of taste will take some getting used to. I didn't think about if kisses would be affected.
[ you can skip over it and focus on the other aspects that still made it great! eren for one would keep kissing until he feels him ready to retreat. or, if it makes the senses feel any better, they can go straight to banging, a la elliot šš».
itās certainly odd when youāve started getting pretty damn comfortable with kissing in general, but eren would call it far from boring, and offers a lighter smile all the way, sinking into the sofa. be careful not to disappear either. ]
Yeah, well, [ oh, elliot. he has to stop what heās saying to look at you. he doesnāt see a life without him anymore, especially a future. ] Itāll be back. Itās damn hard to get tired of kissing you, anyway.
[ um he was supposed to flatter you but made his own ears fire up instead. sheepish eren got sheepish. ]
As Eren sinks into the couch, Elliot will shift so he sinks in as well and is half leaning against Eren. It's funny to think just how comfortable and natural feeling this has gotten. Last summer, cuddling up with Eren like this probably would've been the death of his small nerdy heart.
But aw, it does flatter him, making him blush a little. He'll still notice the ears too]
[ and eren would start freaking out and questioning his friend zone much, much sooner, holy crap.
the truth that you donāt think of before actually voicing it in words can sometimes leave you in a tight spotā maybe itās not the case, but erenās lighthearted, embarrassed sort of grin flashes as he attempts to. maybe. hide his face a little into the curve of elliotās neck. ]
You did, that was all you. I didnāt . . . Shit, hold on.
[ it made him think about kissing him forever and god thatās mildly embarrassing and sappy. he gives him a squeeze and tries to swallow the chuckle, but right at the instant heās drunk in just wanting to lay there with him. ]
[ oh christ, look how shy heās gottenā worry not, itās the good kind of shy, still full of smiles and color to his cheeks that rival christmas red. eren ends up pulling his bottom lip into a half-bitten suckle as he glances into elliotās eyes. him, cute. not sure if embarrassed or more embarrassedā
no, he knows the sentiment. ]
Youāre the only one that can do that to me. [ the only one on this earth and beyond. eren then, with a flash of a grin, flips their positions, imitating one of his throwing moves in an act to surprise him and just have a laugh, take all this flattery off of him before he burns up; heās the one over elliot now. you might not have to look down, but at least you can look up with no strains. ] I gotta make you pay for itā!
[ only with like, kisses, or smiles, heāll take that currency. honestly heās just paying back for the awkward earlier. smile more, heāll be the happiest in the world. ]
[It does surprise him, but he responds with a laughing squeal as Eren throws him down, his back landing against the seat of the couch. While laying there, he's definitely smiling up at Eren. And there's the sign of blush across his cheeks]
Heehee, oh no. Will you take a thousand sweet kisses?
[ look at him all strong and dashing, showing off that upper body strength to just PICK HIM UP and SLAM HIM down gently. satisfied (but not nearly enough to stop), eren stays in a position between elliotās legs, simulating another move at grappling that forces them into a ālockā. heās got you trapped!! delighted with the laugh and the flush to elliotās face to match his hair, eren kneels just over him in a half straddle, one arm resting above his head and exchanging the gaze with those happy aqua blue eyes that screamed just how crazy he was for him. him. thank god this couch is actually huge, or else theyād be falling off be now.
while eren is also completely canon blind to rent, there goes knowing where that actually comes fromā except that felt too poetic not to be lyrics. ]
Is that a song?
[ you beautiful, beautiful music nerd, thatās cute š ]
[The grappling move gets another laughing squeal out of him, as he squirms around to make a show of trying to get out of the lock. But he knocks that off after a moment to just look up and smile at him, his arm reaching up to run his fingers through his hair.]
Heehee, yeah. It's from Rent.
[Which of course he'll sing the verse:]
ā« Live in my house Iāll be your shelter Just pay me back With one thousand kisses Be my lover And Iāll cover you ā«
[The glowing and gently dropping feathers appear like before, but Elliot's not at all fazed by that. They're alone and he's a little caught up staring up at those blue eyes and smile]
[ chills! good chills from the hand in his grown out hair, dark brown locks much longer than it used to be compared to that previous military buzz cut. the melody coming from his voice instantly makes erenās sparky grin melt into something soft, like butter in an oven. the glow and the fluttering of feathers around them makes him, and everything about that moment right there stunning, and beautiful.
how does he need to be reminded with that well beyond happy look he sees in elliotās eyes, staring back at him as he watches like a starstruck fool? ]
That sounds just about right.
[ but he canāt quite hold back how his heart just tells him to take him, you just want to kiss the boy. he pours himself and his devotion in one passionate push forward, lips over lips, and both hand pulling his face to his own. heās yours, elliot. he entrusts you with this untamed shounen heart of his. ]
[Having actual locks of hair to run his fingers through was something of a pleasure for Elliot. He liked the buzz cut before, thought Eren looked good with it, but he'd always been a fan of Eren's hair. Soft and the color of chocolate. It felt good running through his fingers.
Eren's reaction to his singing makes him a little giddy. Watching his face melt into that soft smile, those starstruck eyes that stared down at him. It was an incredible expression, and there are a bit of glee in knowing he was the one to cause it.
Next thing he knows, his face is being pulled up and he's locked in a passionate kiss. Even without taste, it's easy to tell the intensity Eren is putting into it. Long gone are the timid days of unsure kissing with Eren, it seems. Not that Elliot minds. He returns the kiss with ease, trying to match the level of passion that Eren is putting into it. His hand stays in Eren's hair, fingers wrapping into the curls. Meanwhile his other arm moves to rest on Eren's waist, trying his best to get at a good angle to kiss the other as long as possible.]
[ kisses with elliot are great. make outs with elliot are stellar, thatās one thing heās learned during these few months with him and heād never take it back, no matter how awkward and wobbly he was the first few times. ah, remember his first? he remembers chuckling and thinking wow i suck, even if it wasnāt that much of the case. still, elliot guides him, but now heās taken the chance to hold the reins. itād not just be silly, but something of a personal letdown if he were still that uncertain about starting it. if he knew what he wantedā itās nice, to convey and be easily understood, especially when youāre seemingly doing it right.
and he loves it; how elliot kisses him back fires him up, to feel him respond with a matching answer the way a duet was. he parts his mouth more, coaxing elliotās to do the same and following the tilt of his head to make it comfortable and lasting. from hands to his face, he handles with care, still gentle even with intensity; both arms slink around him, closer to his legs and hands slip under, between elliot and the cushion. heās up to something, it seems, but he doesnāt break the kiss as he movesā he wants to be breathless, and he wants elliot to cause that.
until he hauls himself onto his feet, upright, and heyā are you on the cushions anymore? no, hun . . . heās picked you up with ease (courting with eren part two: constant flexing). maybe heās decided on a little something bolder, and hopes he enjoys it. eren knows he is. ]
[Elliot had been so focused on the kiss that he didn't notice Eren's plans at first. He was too focused on feeling as much as he could from the kiss without taste. When Eren coaxes him part his mouth more, it doesn't take much at all. He goes along with it eagerly.
It's only when he gets lifted up does he notice. He gives a little surprised squeak and breaks the kiss from surprise. He feels a little internal flail as the support of the cushions are now gone. His arms move quickly to wrap around Eren's neck, for support. He's not scared, just a little startled. He hasn't been carried bridal style since he was a little kid by family members, man.]
[ s t r o n g. like the rock. he wonāt forget that, even if he wasnāt as puffy . . . erenās grinning, yes he is, taking elliot for a little spin away from the couch and not looking where heās goingā too busy gazing, watching the surprised reaction with a widening smirk. from the bridal style hold, swinging once and around, one arm to his lower back while the other hooking his legs, eren begins to shift him to his front as he steps back for balance, to get a much better look of his face and hold him upright with no problems.
that is, if he wasnāt stepping back right into the couch at full speed, hitting it and falling backwards. ]
Uhā!
[ IMMEDIATE GRIPPING ALL OVER THE PLACE, PROTECT ELLIOT AT ALL COSTS ]
[Eren this is what you get for trying to show off. Elliot makes a "whoa" sound and clings to Eren as he falls back down. But when they both seemed unharmed and back on the couch? He relaxes some]
[ mission to completely envelop elliot the minute he felt that lack of balance was a successā! one arm is all around his back and gripping his shoulder while the other is . . . grappling onto one of elliotās upper legs. with a breathy laugh, his holds finally relax, lifting his head up and looking down into his chest to make sure everythingās okay.
phew, it was. a good save. ]
N . . . Hah. [ thats a sheepish agreement, but ] Totally meant to do this, though.
[ IT WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG except without the falling ]
My roomās not that far of a walkā I can throw you on the bed better than the couch.
[ a playful grin from the earlier show of LOVE FUELED FISTICUFFS. surprise the gag tag is actually the real deal. but erenās room is most def the comfiest of places, like. itās like a separate apartment. that bed is the size of an mma cage?? ]
[Oh wow, he had wondered if it was something like that, but hearing it? Makes him blush a little. He'll bury his face in the nook of Eren's neck, though there is a smile on his face even as he bites his lip]
[ oh, double wow, and double meaning that he only actually realizes after heās said it and from elliotās reaction as a whole. itās . . . actually pretty dang appealing, from the sheepish snuggle up he gets into his neck to seeing him bite his lip a bit from here.
erenās face heats right up, so elliot isnāt alone there either. he doesnāt know much about romance movies beyond the tragic classics. ]
Letās seeā
[ hope youāre ready for round two, and with his hands on elliotās hips, he holds his breath and lifts them both up in a single sit-up, sitting on the couchās arm and letting him settle on his lap in any way heād like. now, how to actually pick him up this time . . . without getting struck on flirt staring. ]
[He'll hold on while Eren lifts them up to the arm of the couch, grinning like a fool. When Eren stalls on the couch arm, giving Elliot a chance to adjust, it crosses his mind that he's still wearing his coat.]
Oh- one sec.
[He'll let his arms go, while still sitting on Eren's lap, and quickly remove his arms out of his jacket. Underneath, he just has a basic t-shirt on. Once the coat is off, he'll drop it on the couch and bring his now bare arms back around Eren's neck. ]
but eren awaits, patiently and hovering around his face and jawline while he does so, to distract him with brushes. once heās readyā eren lifts elliot much higher than a bridal style carry, arms secure just under his bottom and hopping into a stand. and away they go! speed walking!! ]
Youāve got three seconds.
[ three seconds to...... prepare thyself??? heās gonna throw them both. ]
