[ Eren kisses Armin's head again, breathing in his scent. His presence, more than anyone's calmed him down when he felt his heart going wild. He lets his fingers start to stroke through Armin's hair rhythmically. ]
[At least, that seemed to be the case. If there was one person who would always have his back and would be ready to literally die for him (as much as Armin hoped he never would - living through that trauma once was enough for him, thank you very much) it would be the boy he was currently curled up on.]
[ Eren doesn't want it to be this way. He wants a world expanded beyond 'them'. He doesn't have to belong anywhere, but he wants to be accepted. He wants unity, camaraderie, and all that comes with it, but here he seems to be losing it. He remembers hearing everyone pleading with Bert and Reiner, giving them a chance to turn back from everything. And maybe... in that moment, he'd given them a chance, too. But, they'd rejected it. They'd rejected everything, including him, and it's inexcusable. But he and Armin seem to be the only ones that have felt through those moments... and so, maybe that does kind of set them aside, make them alone.
He huffs and noses at Armin's soft hair, stroking it with his fingers. ]

I wish it wasn't that way for you.
