[ Maruki's just as graceless as Eren, practically falling over as his arms are suddenly empty.

Eren is little more than a feathery lump on the ground, and Maruki has to chomp down on the inside of his cheek not to let even the smallest smile peek out. It's a little cute, that's all...

He stoops down, scoops Eren into his arms and straightens up.

Bear with me for a second, it's still sort of crystallized up here...

[ There's a jagged path back down the cliff cut through the crystal, but he has to squeeze through a crevice first to get there, Eren held protectively against his chest as he does.

Once he's free and can see the footpath, Maruki bends his neck, presses a kiss to the top of Eren's head.

You can sleep on the way there, too. I'll try not to jostle you too much.

[ And Maruki does chatter quietly the whole way there. About nothing in particular – the stars popping up in the darkening sky overhead, the half-cleared crystals around the base of the cliff, what he's looking forward to seeing in the spring. Nothing of consequence, nothing Eren truly needs to listen to. The comfort of white noise.

Inside the windmill, he tucks Eren in one arm, uses the other to climb up the ladder to their landing. He considers for a moment if he should transform again too, if they should take to their nest, but– Eren's eyes are still shut. He's warm, breathing even and peaceful, even if he's still mired in his own misery.

So Maruki simply lays himself down on their makeshift bed, still holding the seabird in his arms.

You can stay like this, if you want, or you can change back. I'll hold you either way.

[ It's a sound he's never heard come from Eren in this form before, and his heart cracks and shatters right there beneath where he rests.

Maruki strokes a steady hand down Eren's feathery back, again and again, the motion soothing in its repetition if nothing else.

You can sleep as long as you want. We can stay here for days. I won't let anyone come looking for you. Okay? Let me take care of it.

soft, miserable little peep: the eren jaeger story

[ There's a short, soft wheeze as Eren's full weight settles suddenly on top of him, and then they've adjusted more comfortably, and Maruki wraps him up tight in his arms once again.

He tips his head, staring down at Eren curled into his chest. Runs gentle fingers through his hair, again and again, soothing in its repetition.

Do you want me to sing to you?

OHHHH WE CAN WRAP I HATE THIS

[ There's nothing Maruki can tell him that will make any of this hurt less. He knows this, and he hates it deeply, but– there's sincerely nothing, nothing to be done.

He holds Eren even more securely, safe in both arms and this little sanctuary they've made for themselves. Quietly, a now-familiar song begins to fill the warm air around them, as soft as a mourning dove's coo.
