[ oh my god, lina ]

Hey, I’m not telling you to crack jokes either, I don’t even like them.
Everyone just has their own way to deal with all this.

[breakingvoice]

maybe i'll find a healthier way if i just keep trying
i don't know
i can just look to other people, i guess

how are you handling it

[usurpers]

I guess what I’ve always done. Look past the now.
If you can see even the smallest glimpse of what you want for the future, nothing could stop you. I know it doesn’t stop me.

[breakingvoice]

maybe i just lost sight of that because it wasn't as important to the version of Lina that actually got to meet a lot of new people.

i still want to have thanksgiving dinner with as many people as i can. and that means making it through to thanksgiving.

[ there’s a pause on his end— while his name is still blinded by the beta code, his profile picture is visible. he’s eren jaeger, and he remembers lina.

he’s not sure about what this entails, but he wants to find out immediately. because he remembers a cloudy image of them in his apartment, from crying together to talking about their childhood and cooking.

he wants to think that still happened. it did, to him. ]

Do you remember me?

[breakingvoice]

you're Eren Jaeger. you were Clover's brother, during those couple of months that were really hard to remember.

[she takes a moment on her end as she contemplates the best way to proceed. all she has are emotions and the vaguest of memories, but the emotional response he drew from her... she remembers that they were mourning together. that has to have been what it was. and there isn't much that brings people closer than that.]

i know her and i know she's probably already rebuilt that bridge. i would be honored to still have you as a brother, too.

[usurpers]

[ and hours later i still can’t find enough band aids to keep my heart together, you fiend. eren can’t help but smile at this, part of himself wondering why he’d so readily agree with that when he wouldn’t allow a stranger, even a close childhood friend the same privilege. he’d even tell them, he remembers telling them: i’m not your kid, or your little brother.

but with her, he feels a connection no different than with clover or jasmine. it just feels natural. ]

I would’ve rebuilt it with you anyway.

[ so, an equal yes. ]

[breakingvoice]

[i don't apologize.]

i'm glad. because you weren't getting out of coming over in November that easily.

[see? she can do jokes. she can do jokes when she's too emotionally overwhelmed to do anything else.]

[usurpers]

[ oh ]

Do you still cook?

[breakingvoice]

yeah. actually, i'm a culinary student.

[she remembers that coming up, too. it's almost impossible to convey the kind of smile she's making in her text, so she doesn't try, but the sentiment should still be clear.]

[usurpers]

[ oh, oh my god. eren can’t believe the smile that pulls his lips wide. he remembers what she didn’t have, a dream that was now blooming into reality. ]

Forget November for now, I need to see you cook asap.

[breakingvoice]

[oh, now she's just giggling on her end. this is so... she's so happy suddenly. that he remembers, that she remembers.]

tell me your preferences and i'll go out and get something, unless you have things there that you would be okay with me cooking with?

[usurpers]

You can use everything I have here.
It’ll be your first Jaeger challenge.

[breakingvoice]

a Jaeger challenge? is that an actual thing?
heehee :3 i can't wait, i'm going to do so good at it!!!

[usurpers]

It is now.
👍 Come over. And call the others if you want.

[breakingvoice]

i don't think i'll be able to get them all together on such short notice, but maybe for my first one, i should just keep it to you...
that way if i end up doing badly you're the only one who knows >_>;

[usurpers]

I’ll still hold you to Thanksgiving, then.
I’ll see you soon?

[breakingvoice]

already on my way, don't worry ♥ i'll make sure you love what i make for you
i guarantee it!!!
