[Now this is a random question.]

19. Why?

[hometown]

Dammit

[ A full minute later: ]

That's too far ahead

[rustyhonesty]

That's what all the years away from "home" does to you.

Did you age? I remembered your birthday is in fall, but not when exactly.

[hometown]

Tomorrow. I'm turning 18. I thought I caught up

[rustyhonesty]

What the fuck.

It feels weird being the older one now.

[hometown]

It is! It's super weird!

[rustyhonesty]

First I'm suddenly taller than you and now I'm older, too.

Anyway. Any plans on celebrations?

[hometown]

Well I'm pretty hammered right now so that's a good start

[rustyhonesty]

Seriously? You're drunk texting?

... how am I making sense of your words.

[hometown]

It keeps correcting my spelling. It even capitalizes stuff. Do people here get how amazing these phones are? Even when they fuck up letters it's amazing

[rustyhonesty]

Don't rely on it too much when you're sober. You may eventually find that it corrects words into the wrong ones.

[hometown]

Really? Like what?

[rustyhonesty]

Imagine you're writing to someone about, say, meeting at a dock or something completely normal and innocent.

But the autocorrect makes it into a cock.


[Most random example, but hey. It could happen.]

[hometown]

Oh. Shit, you're right. That could get awkward

[hometown]

Unless the guy had a nice ass and was into it

[ R E I N E R ]

[rustyhonesty]

[Reiner WHY. Thankfully Jean wasn't drinking anything.

The only way to retaliate this is something that has been bothering him for a while.]

Like Eren?

[hometown]

Yeah, exactly! Eren's ass is amazing. All of him is amazing. He's gorgeous. I mean really, REALLY gorgeous, you know? I just

It sent early

[ Betrayal… ]

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean's actually glad it sent too early, who knows how long of a message praising Eren it would have been.]

So you two are seriously together.

I definitely didn't expect that.

1/3 cw self-loathing

[hometown]

[ That word brings Reiner up short. "Together"…? ]

I don't know. It's complicated. [ Obviously. How could it not be complicated? ] He deserves better. I don't know how he can stand being near me. I'm a real piece of shit, you know. But he

[ A pause. Even drunk, Reiner can't bring himself to type the words, "He says it doesn't matter here. He says we can be something else." ]

2/3

[hometown]

[ He types and deletes, "I really like him." That's not enough. It doesn't encompass the pull Reiner feels whenever he's near Eren. It doesn't touch the chaotic mess of his emotions.

Finally, he sends: ]

I just keep chasing him

3/3

[hometown]

[ Then, again: ]

He deserves better

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean sort of figured it was complicated, but wow.]

I dunno about any of that. Of what either of you deserve or anything. Does it matter? If you're having a good time with each other, that's what should matter.

[hometown]

Do you really think so?
