[If nothing else, Eren understands that Jean cares about him. It's not that he didn't think so before; they've always cared about each other - always. But it's been different lately. How couldn't it be? They're standing from two totally different perspectives. Jean looks at him differently now - and it isn't always a bad thing. Would Eren ever have let him hold him like this if they were still both kids? It's hard to imagine. Jean has become his anchor, his stability - sometimes the only semblance of it that he has left. And Eren clings to that, clings to Jean, tracing soft circles on his back, burying his nose in the older boy's hair. He leaves a small kiss there, not quite realizing it. At times like this, all he can do is follow the natural flow of things.
