[Eren is too big. He grew too fast. It isn't a matter of taking up too much space, but of crushing whatever's nearby. Even sleeping in bed beside someone, his body is stretched out long, toes dipping over the edges of beds.
[Not now. Eren is enveloped by a warm body. Maruki's scent is so familiar now. He sinks into it, hunkering down until he's made himself as small as possible. He lets out those soft little coos again. They feel like crying.]
[ Eren is small, soft, warm – Maruki knows how comforting it felt to be held in that way, so much more vulnerable than either of them could ever be as the men they are. It's a sacred thing, laying here together like this.
He strokes slowly over Eren's feathers, closes his eyes. ]
[It is vulnerable. Eren is more fragile than ever. There's only one voice that could belong to his Other, as soft as the mourning dove's melancholy song. Eren stretches out his body, pressing himself up flush against Maruki. He closes his eyes.
[He must fall asleep fast. He never hears Maruki reach the end of that song.]

Just rest a while. My Eren.
[ Alongside those soft coos, he begins to hum. ]
