[He takes a little small breath in. No, he doesn't want to leave either, but he's not gonna stop Eren from doing his duty. It was one of the benefits of growing up in a military family. Even if you miss them a lot, you grow used to the concept of being apart for awhile to complete a job.

So that wink will work, and he'll do his best to do a brighter smile.]

R-Right. I'll be sure to work hard on my end too. [So I can see you again]

I love you.

[ there it is. eren feels ease in actually leaving when he catches the smile and holds on tight to it. with the camp behind him bustling to move out, the thumbs at the screen and offers one more loving smirk of his own. ]

Me too, Elliot. [ how much just didn’t fit into words. he holds onto these pictures he’s snapped, and throughout the journeys he’ll be taking them out to feel a little closer. ] And we’ll FaceTime when we can, again.

[fiddlestick]

[He'll take one last screen capture of that loving smirk. Another for his photoalbum. It wasn't the same as having Eren with him, but it did help a lot.]

Yeah, of course. [And with a slight laugh] Now get going! You don't wanna be the guy that holds up camp.

[ he wants to kiss you, but the screen is in the way. instead, eren settles with a wave, taking one more snapshot of elliot’s beaming face as well (shutter sound, he can’t hise it), before beginning to get up. ]

I won’t. Take care of yourself.

[ it’s laughed off, but he waves one last time— and off he goes. ]

[fiddlestick]

You too.

[He gives a wave back before the call ends. Once it does, he shuts his eyes and holds the phone close to his chest.]
