PSL / MEME CONTINUATION


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.

He's right, Aubrey.

Beside that, from what I hear, congratulations are in order - right?

[Not what she was apologizing f—]

[At Reiner’s words, Aubrey’s face flushes like she’s been caught. Not in a bad way, though it’s strange; when Reiner met her, the ring and its trail to her heart were fresh.]

Yeah. [Smiling a little, anyway.] We did it the right way. [Wait—] I mean— You know. [Aubrey rests slightly on Eren’s arm; if she’s lucky, he’ll figure this is her usual fluster.] We’re married now, yeah. It’s good.

Thanks.

[Never one to mince words, that Eren. Reiner snorts.]

Is it embarrassing to congratulate someone on their marriage? Only to you.

[It's nice, but it's all...a bit too casual. He wonders if Aubrey feels it too, that strange uncertainty - like they still need to tread on eggshells. He's always felt that way with Eren - even when he met him at only twelve years old.

[To Aubrey:]

I guess this must be strange to you. To all of us, really. Right?

[A glance at Eren. He frowns, glancing away, shrugging again. He doesn't seem to want to acknowledge it.]

Not that I'm complaining.

[But it's a bit too good to be true, isn't it?]

[She’s not complaining, either, and confirms with a nod— but it’s back. That terrible, hanging dread. Aubrey’s not sure if it’s her near-slip-up (yeah, getting married the right way, as opposed to…?), but the conversation does feel casual again. That’s dangerous. One moment, awkward compliments; the next, Eren broke his hands straining and tearing for this man....]

[Mikasa. She must be back here, too. And Armin, broken by the sea— Dare Aubrey bring up anyone else…?]

Even if it was a bad strange… we can make it better. [Almost, but not quite, an echo.] I know we can. [We have to. We have to. We have to.]

So that’s the mission, huh?

Did Commander Armin give you that?

[Said with a smile. He doesn’t realize there’s any truth to what he’s saying.]

Eren and I were just talking about the same thing. Weren’t we?
headhooligan: (04A a’ight.)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 01:44 am (UTC)(link)

[A belated reaction of her own: As soon as I can.
[Aubrey, you dipshit.]

I did! [To Eren, hasty and tactless; a confession, almost apologetic. Even if he pulls away, she’ll stay facing him.

[Better her than another forced echo. Eren can get mad at her; she can’t let the world sink its claws into Armin’s most broken screams.] I did, I talked to him, a-at the ocean. He wants to see you— He. loves. you. You have to know that....

[All too soon, a reminder that Eren has been pulling all of the strings for who knows how long...Reiner takes a step back without even realizing it.]
headhooligan: (04A fear.jpg)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 02:27 am (UTC)(link)

[He’s quiet. That’s almost more concerning. Reiner stepping back doesn’t help.]

Well… you did it. [Aubrey talks before she can fully hear Armin again, face in the sand, begging.] He—

[It’s Eren’s fault Armin, steadfast Armin, broke like that.] He killed you. You made him kill you, didn’t you?

headhooligan: (02C I guess.)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 03:19 am (UTC)(link)

[Very, very voluntarily, Aubrey has to remind herself that Eren is dead, that the past can’t be changed, and they’re here whether she loves him or hates him or anything in-between. And she does love him.]

[But it’s hard not to notice that, as the shadows lengthen, Reiner’s isn’t there.]

That… doesn’t make it better. [Quiet, but not a whisper. Cautious in its flatness. Not that his clarification sounded like an excuse, for once.]

You know that.

headhooligan: (mild glare)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 03:36 am (UTC)(link)

I— [A pause.] I know I am.

[She stays cautious. The bite is almost promising.]

I just… At least you two are on the same page. [There’s a bitterness to it, despite her best efforts. Residual ire. Because Aubrey can’t say that she and Eren are on the same page. She hates interacting with him like this.]

Now you know he’s here. That’s all.

headhooligan: (08B mm-whatcha-saaay.mp3)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 03:49 am (UTC)(link)

I know you did.

[I don’t know if I believe it.]

headhooligan: (09C . . .)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 04:15 am (UTC)(link)

[—She wanted him to be mad at her, didn’t she?]

You weren’t supposed to hear that.

[It’s dark. Aubrey’s voice comes out small.]

Why are you— I’m sorry I don’t get it…?

[It’s genuine. It’s not. She doesn’t know.]

[Why are you like this?]

headhooligan: (09C lost in an AU)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 04:27 am (UTC)(link)

Stop talking like that.

[“I’m the end of the world.”]

You know I’d love you anyway.

[Her chest feels tight.] You want my thoughts? [It’s hard to keep her voice steady with him staring down, down at her.] Why are you treating me like this again?

headhooligan: (06B tired scribbling)

[personal profile] headhooligan 2023-11-08 04:54 am (UTC)(link)

[“I don’t deserve it.” They are the same. They are the same. “We are the—”]

[The second Eren looks away, human and unsure, the tension in Aubrey crashes, swallowed by a wave of… well, it’s something. But she grabs for his hand, tight.]

[He might be telling her not to respond.] I don’t care. I won’t

Eren, don’t you understand? [A plea. She reaches with both hands to clasp his, whether he allowed the initial grab or not, and begs him to see her.] Who cares what we deserve? We’re here for each other....

[She wants to smother him in kisses until neither of them can think.]
