[fiddlestick]

Yeah.
Look, I get you're worried and trying to look after me.
But you could've just talked to me about it, you know

[usurpers]

i didn’t think she’d actually mom you though that wasn’t the deal

[fiddlestick]

Then what was the deal?

[usurpers]

just that she’d make sure the packs went to you and no one else
you’d give them to other people if they needed it

[ basically “they could starve but not u” ]

[fiddlestick]

That sounds pretty close to mom-ing, Eren.

And I don't wanna hoard food for me like that.

[In other words, Eren was 100% on the money with that one]

[usurpers]

it was supposed to be relaying
but you know you’re saying you’d still give them away, right?

[ ELLIOT HELP YOUR CASE ]

[fiddlestick]

I wouldn't give away ALL of it!
I'm not starving myself, it was just a couple pounds.

[Is this helping]

[usurpers]

elliot
i should’ve talked to you from the get go and i’m sorry, it won’t happen again
but only if you cooperate

[fiddlestick]

Thank you.


[a pause]


Define "cooperate"?

[usurpers]

try to understand this
please don’t take your weight loss as just a few pounds
that’s your body eating up fat reserves to survive because you don’t have what you need for maintainence
except you don’t have reserves, you’re naturally thin. it’s going to burn muscle because there’s no other option and you’ll never get that back once it’s gone.
if it doesn’t do that you wouldn’t be able to take a walk, let alone magic. that you need. it’s not just a few pounds, it’s a yellow flag.

[ eren your dr. jaeger is showing ]

if you get how important it is you’ll automatically know what you have to do, i don’t need to keep hounding you. i just don’t want other people to screw you over.

[fiddlestick]

[HHNNNNNNGH NOT THE MEDICAL KNOWLEDGE. Elliot always forgets about that ace, mostly because Eren only pulls it out in major situations.

There's a delay in his response. But finally-]

Fine. I'll cooperate.

[He's not thrilled about it, but he can't really argue against something like that.]

I'm sorry. I just wanted to be a good teammate.

[Except that his anxiety and perfectionist tendencies blurred the lines so it was hard to tell what you were supposed to do as a good teammate, and what you should do to take care of yourself.]

[usurpers]

[ thank god eren didn’t actually go for med school, he’d be the most annoying doctor in history. but, there’s no need to bring up dad’s demonic teachings anymore. that summoning circle can go back under the rug. ]

you’re an amazing teammate, I know that more than anyone here. you can do things that no one else can, and your group needs that. you know how much of a wildcard you are? healing, support and attack? they rely on you. i know i would.
think of that when you’re filling your plate instead of theirs. i know you can do it.

[fiddlestick]

[Holy crap]

Eren...

[That is beyond sweet??? Elliot can't respond for awhile because he's legit touched by Eren's words, reading them over and over. Eren wasn't one to make up stuff either- he really did mean it. He tries a few times, but deletes before typing out]

You're really sweet. [He loves you so much??]

[usurpers]

i’m honest

[ god damn if he could see elliot’s reaction right now. but, well, at least he feels it, and more than that is his satisfaction in his words getting through to him. he saw that pause!! and that constant typing!! ]

so you’ll at least eat the chocolate ones?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, I'll eat them.
Even drink the sports drinks.
If only because you're good at being persuasive.

[usurpers]

[ score????? but not without his own half of the bargain, elliot wasn’t the only one who had a wrong. ]

if i said all this before you wouldn’t have gotten momed in the first place
so we’ll talk if we need to
i know how much that sucks and i should be your boyfriend over anything

[ his now family is rather loose though, including his sister— but in the past life, what he remembers of mikasa was sometimes suffocating. let’s not. ]

[fiddlestick]

Don't worry, I'm still holding you to saying something first in the future.
But...I can admit I overreacted too.
You know how doting my family can be
But at least you didn't ask one of my teammates to be my bodyguard. [UNLIKE NATALIA]

[usurpers]

wait who did that

[fiddlestick]

Natalia.
She asked Gar to "protect me", so he keeps insisting he's my bodyguard.
The worst part is he's 15.

[usurpers]

ok now i get why you reacted that way
no offense to natalia, she’s your family but
what the fuck

[fiddlestick]

Ahaha...
No it's fair.
My family's always like this. They mean well, but it can be really...

[Embarrassing, demeaning, demoralizing, suffocating, insulting- take your pick really]

[usurpers]

bad
that’s when they don’t directly breathe down your neck

i gotta ask though are you sure that wasn’t just a joke
he’s 15

[fiddlestick]

Yeah.

Oh I'm sure.
He's the most fifteen 15-year-old I've ever met.
If that makes sense.
He even tries to use axe body spray to get out of washing.

[usurpers]

ok
you need a plan of attack

[fiddlestick]

I had been thinking about dumping water on him to help with the smell...

[Just you know, it's a matter of working up the nerve. Which is no small feat for Elliot]
