I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.
I’m realizing that you never actually answered me about whether or not you’re drunk.
Mikasa’s right not to want Eren to drive, but why wouldn’t she just go get him herself?
[Because Eren would let Aubrey pick him up - would not let Mikasa (unless he had no other choice); Mikasa, who would definitely back down if the argument became “I’m driving or I’m not coming.”]
[She’s in no condition to explain the reference Armin seems to have missed, either. Bless his heart.]

[She sure is. Queen of Being Pissy at Mikasa For Things No One Is Holding Aubrey At Gunpoint To Do, also:] I sure fucking do but come ON
If he’s so hellbent on coming down then you drive him so he doesn’t end up on channeling 5 news
Basic math 🤪
Ugh whatever I’m sure ill find out why soon or later
He seemed nostalgia

What I'm saying is that Eren probably told Mikasa not to drive him.
Look. That isn't important. You're getting him. That's good.
As for you offering me temporary custody of my best friend - thanks a bunch, but I'm pretty sure Eren will be the one to decide whether or not I'm fit to hang out with. Anyway, I've got plans.
[Plans he will...very likely be putting on hold if Eren calls him up.]
[Armin writes a lot and Aubrey is not awake enough for it. Never mind who started this conversation and keeps spamming him with corrections.]
LMAO good luck with those plans
Mine are hot garbage I think I burned at least 2 brides tonight

[Mikasa, potentially. Considering the whole “tell Armin to warn Mikasa that Eren will be here early” plan has flown out the window and crash-landed with prejudice.]
You know Annie. Leonhart? We all went to high school together. She did ROTC with Eren.
[His face is on fire. He's glad Annie is sleeping. It's kind of a "there's a cat purring in your lap and you dare not move an inch in case you scare it away" kind of scenario, hence his own wakefulness.]
[A tiny Eren with little red devil wings lands on Aubrey's left shoulder. "You have got to bust his balls for this," he says. Likewise, a tiny Eren with big fluffy angel wings lands on her right shoulder. "He's right. You have got to bust his balls for this."]

OMG how did I not guess

S2G you lit up like a siren every time lion girl passed you for weeks it was like
Get a room!!!!!
It took some years but congrats!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉💕
[Eren would probably be meaner, and it’s not like Aubrey can talk about being blush-prone, but… genuinely. She’s happy for the guy! The guy and his kinda-weird distant loner gf!]

[Ha! Ha ha! ha! This is! fantastic! She’s so! glad! she texted Armin at ass-o-clock in the morning! and can’t sleep! and has no hope of it now!!!!1!]
Ur gonna hear Kim bitching about me sooooo much 💀
[Kim being, for the record, a punk from a grade down (not the kid whose house it is, but close to him) who’s always seemed to like Aubrey. Like-like Aubrey. On account of Eren it has never gone anywhere.
[Armin may or may not be privvy to that whole mess, but Aubrey proceeds as if he is entirely in-the-know anyway.] She asked me to match costumes it was gonna be this whole thiiiiiiiinng
You’d think I was breaking up with her she took it so shit lmfao
But like
Do I blame her
🙃
[Because he does understand (to an extent) the Kim situation, but what he understands infinitely more is that when Eren is in town, he sees whoever he wants, whenever he wants, regardless of what their plans are, and 90% of the people he wants to see are Aubrey.
[There's no way this could have been avoided. He can't even pretend to give advice.]
[Which isn’t a no, but, come on. They’ve been over The Eren Situation to hell and back, and Armin’s trying to have a nice night with his totally-not-girlfriend. Sure, a few details are new, and there’s this nagging feeling this might really be a point of no return (in what way, hell if Aubrey knows), but it’s all just a fresh saddle on the same zombified horse.
[…Right?]
Ill be fine I just need to sleep
Your right it could be worse
Just gonna be a sedimentary weekend and then he goes back
* Sentiment
Al
And as usual we [ha, ha ha, “we”] just get to clean up the rest
[There’s a slight temptation to mention who (derogatory) Eren will be going back to, in case Armin has yet to be enlightened on that front… but, uh, not tonight. Poor guy’s been interrupted enough.]

I'd blame Eren more than Mikasa for however that conversation went. I'm sure you know what I mean.
[After all, Aubrey is the reigning Queen of Conversations With Eren That Go Badly.]
I can't think of anything particularly significant happening around this time of year.
Eren's a sentimental person. I bet you he saw one of those nostalgic Halloween videos on Facebook reels and started getting emotional.
Something must have reminded him of home. That's all.
