[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.]
[ 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.
[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]
[ 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!! ]
[ 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. ]
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]
but, yeah. if he uses axe he believes the commercials every kid thinks they’ll buff out with whey in like five seconds if he’s that dead set on bodyguarding someone he doesn’t even know, for natalia, he wants to be reliable. he won’t say no to “muscle in a single meal” but only if he leaves you alone
That's...pretty good reasoning I could see him buying into that. Maybe I'll try it after we finish our next job We got assigned to the same team, so there's no avoiding him even with bribes.

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

so you’ll at least eat the chocolate ones?
no subject
Even drink the sports drinks.
If only because you're good at being persuasive.

no subject
She asked Gar to "protect me", so he keeps insisting he's my bodyguard.
The worst part is he's 15.
no subject
no offense to natalia, she’s your family but
what the fuck
no subject
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]
no subject
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
no subject
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.
no subject
you need a plan of attack
no subject
[Just you know, it's a matter of working up the nerve. Which is no small feat for Elliot]
no subject
listen, 15 year olds that use ax are all the same
bribe him to get off your back with some of that whey
no subject
But I can't conjure that.
Really? The whey?
You sure that'll work?
no subject
but, yeah. if he uses axe he believes the commercials
every kid thinks they’ll buff out with whey in like five seconds
if he’s that dead set on bodyguarding someone he doesn’t even know, for natalia, he wants to be reliable.

no subject
it’s foolproof. try it the second he comes at you with that bodyguard crap
there can only be one anyway
no subject
Haha...
Eren, you're not jealous of Gar, are you?
no subject
he’s 15
i’m just saying
[ might be like 20% gar’s not allowed to call himself bodyguard ]
no subject
Promise.
no subject
tell me how it goes with the kid. i’d tell you to send a bodyguard after natalia but something tells me she’d like it
no subject
Haha, she probably would.
No point parking up that tree.
