[Closed to Close CR]

[rustyhonesty]

So some of you may have noticed I've been pretty absent since returning from Questing Country. Both me and Mikasa have been for the matter. Well, the thing is, stuff happened and now we're a couple now.

When Liminal changed, we both saw memories of home. Same memories Eren had received from his dungeon and more. Somehow some memories had been locked away. So we know what the future holds for us back home.

You could say my heart... finally found a way home.

Korra and I are still close friends. Just not a couple anymore. Not much will change between us.


I did have something else to say other than announcing this to my closest friends. I'm thinking about holding a belated birthday party for Mikasa with a small group of friends. Likely very soon since there's no telling when the Jaunt begins. And yes, I'm completely aware you can hear this, Mikasa.


Everyone should also meet the newest addition to our group. [Jean shows a neapolitan tiger cub on the livestream.] Her name is Sakura and she's the most adorable tiger cub you'll ever meet.


(ooc: Close CR at this point includes Mikasa (obviously), Eren, Armin, Korra, Usagi, Naoto, Naoki, Rise, Shiro, Alcuin, Helena, Feliciano, Dakki, Lyall, Tal... and I might be forgetting people, so just ask if you think you should be included.)

[Even if he sent over this message to Eren as well, he's not sure how to actually talk to him right now. He was so angry. Now he's so happy. Yet he's still annoyed at how things were handled. But now he's together with Mikasa and it's the best thing ever. But...

The bond is surely sending over very awkward feelings.]

Yeah. I will. Definitely.

[Eren had been awkward as well, of course, although at first that was mostly covered up by his other emotions. However, as Jean's awkwardness increases, Eren's does as well. Especially as the relief he'd felt fades somewhat and he starts feeling more sad instead. He'd hoped that being included in this meant that at least Jean was ready to talk to him again. Obviously, that's not quite the case.]

...Thanks.

[He'll leave it at that unless Jean continues or speaks to him directly later. Eren had been about to ask if things would be too weird if he came to the party, but that reaction makes the answer pretty clear. If Jean's still like that just talking to him, Eren can imagine how much worse it'd be for Mikasa.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Damn it, this is awkward!! Jean can't handle this much stupid awkward. There's one way to actually bypass this phase of awkward...!]

Stay where you are, Eren.

[Eren may feel (through their bond) Jean approaching him very soon.]

[bite_the_hand]

[...Well, it's a good thing Eren had already been in the training hall when this message went out. That makes it quick and easy to find him, and has the added bonus too of meaning he wasn't in the middle of anything he can't just drop as soon as Jean gets there. In the meantime, he'll continue punching the stuffing out of a training dummy until Jean arrives.]

[rustyhonesty]

[It doesn't take very long for Jean to get where Eren is. Once there he waits until Eren looks at him... and then throws a punch at his face.]

[bite_the_hand]

[The punch connects - and Eren grins. There's a rush of relief and even excitement through the Bond. Because this? This is something that feels normal.]

[He throws a punch right back at Jean.]

[rustyhonesty]

[At least that tells him this was the right course of action. Well, it does feel good for him too. ... which is not what he thought he'd ever think about getting punched in the face. But it does feel refreshing.]

Wow, your punches are getting weak...

[Of course provoking him to punch more is the only answer. Why are boys like this.]
