[He'll lie back as well, letting one hand fall away from the hold to use as a makeshift pillow under his head, while the other that was covered by Eren's hand still held on. He's completely fine with Eren scooting closer to him, from the looks of it. His thumb moves to affectionately stroke the skin on Eren's hand that it can reach.

The question makes him feel another burst of happiness in his chest. A date, he's on a date with Eren. It takes him a second to realize that Eren's probably not asking rhetorically. Elliot was very well aware just how much dating experience Eren had.]


Oh, um- Haha, we can? Some people say otherwise, but there's no real rules about what a date is and isn't. Just as long as you spend time together and agree it's a date.

[At least, that's what Elliot understood it as. Unlike Eren, he had slightly more experience with this part. He's been on a few dates, kissed a few guys. But nothing serious or ever got past the first couple dates though. His family, his devotion to music - those usually made it not worth the trouble to pursue anything more than that. How could you have a boyfriend when you weren't even out to the family you lived with?

Things were different now though. He wasn't with his aunt and uncle anymore, they were in whole other city. Carlos knew he was gay, and only cared about him being happy. Aside from the occasional call home and family holiday visit, he didn't have to abide by anyone's standards day to day.

And even if he did? Eren was worth the trouble. That much he knew. He'll give a very gentle squeeze of Eren's hand.]


I'd...call it one, myself.

Of course we can. [He says to reassure him, to reassure himself. He turns his own head to the side so he can see Eren. Through the dim moonlight, he could see the smile on Eren's face. It was easy to understand, why so many people wrote of the romantic beauty of the moonlight now. It gave just enough light to let Elliot see Eren, but it was still dim enough to make it feel like the world was just the two of them at this moment.

He didn't mind that Eren was a greenhorn, or that things would be taken slow. He was fine with slow himself. As long as he could be with Eren, that would be enough.]


I'm not going anywhere.
fiddlestick: (happy place)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-09-23 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, it's okay. [He'll say in a reassuring tone - one he's used many times before on Eren.]

I get it now. You were trying to work out your own feelings, but you were worried about ruining our friendship because of those feelings, right? [Elliot could relate.]
fiddlestick: (crow)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-09-23 03:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[He laughs a little, a soft loving laugh. ]

K-Kinda. [He has known Eren for years. For the most part, he understood how he ticked] But it's more I felt the same. I know I got pretty weird there too...

[He scratches the back of his head with the hand underneath it] That's probably why I agreed to that date with Franklin in the first place. I mean, I really did want to see Rent, but... [...] I thought maybe if I dated other people, I'd get over you and then I wouldn't do anything to ruin our friendship.

Haha, guess that plan backfired in a big way, huh?
fiddlestick: (headscratch)

[LEAVE FRANKLIN ALONE.

He seems to hesitate at the question, even blushing a little, just thinking about it. But there was no point in denying it, really. Tonight's events had swept away the last of the big secrets he kept from Eren. ]


Ahaha..a-awhile? I think the last time you visited New York was when I realized...

[Realized, at least. How long he had actually had feelings for Eren? He wasn't sure himself. Maybe it had been during that visit to New York, or maybe it had been since the first day they met. Some composer he was, unable to pinpoint the exact moment his heart fell for another]

...Y-you?

[IF I HAVE TO CONFESSTO THIS EMBARRASSMENT, YOU DO TOO]

[Elliot shuts his eyes for a moment, with a clear smile on his face, as if he's trying to visualize Eren's answer for a moment. ]

Heehee, what a pair we make, huh? [He sounds both so happy and amused at that. Both of them had feelings for some time before realizing, and both took their times to do something about it once they did.

But yet here they were now, talking things out and being together. It had taken years and miles to get here, but they were here, by some chance. It almost felt like destiny to Elliot. Which was a comforting thought for Elliot, but with how much Eren valued his own freedom and autonomy...he decided not to voice it. It wasn't needed.

Instead he'll open his eyes up again and look at him. ]


I get it. Back when we mostly just chatting online, it was really easy to pretend I was overthinking it, you know? Or that I was just imagining having feelings. But...when you came to help me move in your uniform...

Well, I really did mean that bodyguard remark. I-it was hard not to check you out.
fiddlestick: (snickering)

[That was...some reaction. There was babbling, near incoherent statements, blundering. Elliot can't help it, he starts laughing. Not one of his short little laughs that tend to be flags for his emotions, it's a laugh that comes up from his stomach and lasts a good length of time, making him unable to speak for a bit.

Like most of Elliot's laughs, there's no malice or mockery mixed into it. It's still loving and affectionate. He wasn't laughing at Eren - honestly it was hard to pinpoint the exact reason he was laughing. Maybe it was all the high running emotions finally letting themselves out, or just how stupid they both seemed now that they were being open with one another, or just seeing Eren Jaeger of all people squirm so much over something he said. Or maybe it was even his own sudden embarrassment at the thought that Eren had been looking at him too pushed his nerves over the edge. Whatever it was, the entire situation just seemed so...funny.]


S-Sorry. [He tries to apologize in between breaths and laughing sounds.] Y-You weren't [ha] crazy.

[Hearing Eren's phone brings Elliot back down to reality again, his laughter finally tempering off. He uses his hand to wipe the tears in his eyes made from all the laughter. He knows he heard Eren laughing too, which is alone to make him happy. Eren doesn't laugh nearly as easily as he does. ]

Oh...that late already?

[Eren's look of disappointment is matched by Elliot's own. It's hard not to feel disappointment. No one would want to leave a moment this wonderful. There's a quick thought in his head that tells him to encourage Eren to ignore the alarm. To stay out here a little longer. By the look in Eren's eyes, it probably wouldn't be a hard sell at all.

But even if that's tempting...Elliot dismisses the thought. He didn't want to get Eren in trouble. Not when he was so close to achieving his dream. So he'll blink away his own disappointed look, and offer Eren a small, empathetic but understanding smile. His free hand will reach over and very lightly touch Eren's shoulder.]


You can do it. I'll wait. It's just one more week.

[Ah, just seeing Eren's warm smile made it all the worth it. In some ways, this still almost felt like a dream. Like he was going to wake up in a moment because he drifted off while studying. But that hand holding onto him, the feeling of the fabric on Eren's shoulder- it reminded him very much that this is happening]

Heehee, I'll hold you to it. [He's not really serious about that. Eren didn't have to make up for anything, as far as he was concerned. But good luck convincing Eren that.

The last part perks his interests though]


A surprise? What kind of surprise?
fiddlestick: (sure!)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-09-27 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, okay.

[He'll pull his own hand off Eren's shoulder, still smiling at him.]

I'll look forward to it.
fiddlestick: (fuq what)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-09-27 07:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[He slide off the car hood after Eren, and had gone towards the passenger door-- except Eren was now blocking it. What?]

Part two?
fiddlestick: (MAKE UP YOUR OWN CAPTION)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2017-09-27 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait what is he doing why is he sitting in his spot-

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No way.

He jumps a little, his face in total shock as his hand goes to his chest. He doesn't move yet, but instead tries to talk to Eren before he shuts the door]


Wait! You're gonna let me drive?!

[Elliot knew how to drive. He didn't own a car because of expenses, but he had a license. But still, this was Eren's baby]
