[ Jean's pleased that Eren seems to relax when he does it. It had helped Reiner too, when he'd done it. He lets his thumb brush against the skin on the back his neck in what he hopes is a soothing manner.
It helps, he finds. Eren might be scrawny and fifteen, but he takes his weight easily anyways. Just as pulling Mikasa into his lap had helped with the fact that he couldn't fix everything, this seems to help, too.
He just holds Eren a little tighter. He hopes Eren understands that he's sorry he can't make everything better with just his words. It'll take time, he knows. Eren's always the first to voice his displeasure with something, but rarely the one to accept help with the situation.
He's glad Eren's here. For once, it doesn't feel like he's wishing it was someone taller and broader instead. Maybe what Reiner said really did help Jean, at least.]
