[ For a moment, Maruki only watches him– hovering, soaring, perching. It's such a relief, to be able to do this when everything feels too massive to hold in his human heart. To think he'll one day return to a reality where it's no longer an option...
Maruki spreads his wings and takes to the air, fluttering up before coming to land next to Eren. He circles in their little nest for a moment, as if checking it out to make sure everything is still good, then comes in against his side. Tucked beneath Eren's wing, he feels even smaller as he hunkers down.
Practically no one has seen him in this form. Kazuya was one of the very few. They flew together to the beach, back when the land was still covered in crystals; when they returned to their true forms so they could speak, Kazuya told him that the only difference between angels and demons is that demons can still feel pain, while angels have been spared of such a thing.
It's hurting Kazuya too, to upset so many people by not remembering them. Maruki knows this. Felt that hand in his hair and heard that desperate strain in his voice when he said he would fix it soon.
Maruki lets out a long, low coo, like a sigh, and presses tighter against Eren's warm body. ]
