2/6; 8AM
[Hey Retrospec, I hope you're having a good morning. And if you aren't, well...there's kitty posters that are designed to deal with just that. Hang in there, buckos. But for those of you that ARE, Crow's going to take to the network.
You know those traits that are all the craze and amplifying themselves? Well Crow's got em full swing, and his desire to help out his younger friends overpowers all else--in both everyday life and love lives. Unfortunately, it feeds right into his own self destructive behavior, so...
Signed in as BIG DECK ENERGY:]
Hey Retrospec-ers!
It's February, and you know what that means? Smmmoochessss? Hand holding. Candle light dinners~
It's a whole month dedicated to finding Mr. or Ms. Right, and with Valentine's day right smack in the center of the month, it's even generous enough to give you 2 weeks to buy discount candy. What could be better?
Well I'll tell ya
How about a date with my buddy, Rean Schwarzer? The guy had a pretty rough month in January and he's a little too shy to get out into the world and meet someone
He's about 5'8'', black hair, pretty good looking if I had to judge myself... He'll talk to you about anything and everything, and personality's got a little kick to it, if you're looking for excitement
Contact for more details
LATER!

Explain your answer
no subject
no subject
Yeah, I'm not in class or anything--but then again, you'd know if I was
[Although something twists in his stomach. Eren feels like a parent wanting to sit him down and talk to him.]
private
And the date actually worked out enough for them to keep dating.
How would you feel about that?
private
I know where you're going with this
And it's not like I'm oblivious to my feelings
[It is so hard. To talk about feelings, Eren. After he spent over two years bottling up his own dead-no-relative-family.]
private
How long has it been since you realized?
private
[It's obvious he's very guarded about letting Eren into this. He hasn't even told Elliot this stuff yet--but...then again, he's pretty sure Elliot already knows.
And Eren had been forced to let his feelings out during Christmas so...it's only fair that when Eren nudges the door open he doesn't slam it back shut.]
Past month or so
Kinda hard to pinpoint when it started eating away at me
private
[ . . . good, crow. start out slowly. ]
Are you afraid that it’ll ruin the friendship you have with him? Because that’s what kept me from saying anything to Elliot.
private
But Eren's slowly wheedling it out of him, and he can feel the ice he'd built around his heart start to crack. His lips are loosening too, despite how much that terrifies him.]
Heh, you sure do go right for the kill
I guess that's the long and short of it, but not the only reason
private
(what would eren do) ]
Hurt him?
private
It's not exactly something that's probably good to say in text
But I'm at my house
private > action
[ eren takes a few moments— but the roar of his car soon comes close to crow’s place and parks right in front of it, engine still running.
he has a better place in mind that helps him speak about things, though. it’s his alone spot. so, he decks his hand into the horn. he doesn’t want to risk anyone coming over for surprise visits. ]
no subject
There's a bit of a smile, though, at the very least. Things that used to be 'sigh, Eren' are now 'sigh, Eren~'
He'll approach the car now, tapping on the glass in silent question to see if it's open.]
no subject
the door, once close enough to crow, unlocks with a click of a button from eren’s dash, making the passenger side’s butterfly door rise upwards like an open wing.
it’s fucking extra just like eren.
get in loser we’re gonna feelings jam ]
You don’t have to knock.
no subject
Well, there's a reason Crow places such high esteem in you, Eren. You are constantly the man he brags as top of his class.
Nevertheless, Crow has to back up as this DeLorean fanboy's car opens up, eyes wide and peeking in as if to expect smoke coming out of it.]
Heh, I like to be polite, what can I say?
[Don't mind if he flops right into that passenger seat, putting on his seatbelt (so Eren doesn't yell at him!!!) before slumping his back against the seat.]
...
So, where are we headed?
no subject
crow has done an excellent job at reading his work husband’s mind: he’s not easing his foot into the pedal until he hears the seatbelt click. from there, it’s all smooth sailing. eren even tosses a little remote into crow’s lap— it’s supposed to be for sound and music, he just needs to fiddle around with the screen on the front dash. ]
Where I go to sort things out. [ that doesn’t answer anything, but with the way he’s actually leaving the city. well. he promises he won’t kill you. ] There’s a place in Recollé Woods.
no subject
Crow's eyes flick towards the remote in his hand, poking at it much like a child who has never used a TV remote before. He'll get the hang of it in a second--let him experiment.]
You have a spot in the woods you work out your issues in?
[A pause. Just to remind himself that he IS coming back from this venture. Probably.]
no subject
No one goes into the woods to work out their issues. Especially now with a giant.
[ "the giant". which leaves the entire place empty. ]
no subject
A giant? Wait, you mean that one I see around Recolle sometimes?
...
Wait.
no subject
stares
and signs: “u fuckin dumbass” ]
1/2
[Please hold.]
2/2
You spit on me.
no subject
[ “i can’t say I didn’t mean to because that’s half lying”
(at least they’re back to driving and they should get there soon) ]
no subject
...
[He's gonna turn the volume up. A lot.]
no subject
soon enough, they’ve left the comforting confinements of recollé’s city and are much more surrounded by the woods. eren goes a little farther past the usual places to park cars and the like, driving further ahead until the road disappears. twists and turns and a little more after that, he drives off to the side to stop in a secluded pocket of dense trees and no paths. you’ll have to push through the rest by foot.
and when they do: welcome to the eren cave. it’s a meadow without all the grass; the floor consists of compact dirt, hard as rock (some of it looks like crystal), uneven ups and downs and some spots a permanent trophy of battle. one with two very large things, one of them with claws, lacerations drag through dead logs of trees and soil.
eren picks up a stick near his feet as he walks, finds a tree’s base to sit on and starts shaving off bark with his switchblade. ]
So . . . What’s going on?
