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.]

1/2

[hometown]

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

2/2

[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?

1/2

[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

2/2

[hometown]

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?

[rustyhonesty]

Yeah. Why waste time worrying about it when you can just have a good time? Eren's an adult (I suppose) so he can make his own decision on who he wants to spend time with doing whatever.

Which I do not need details about. Just so we're clear. No talk of what happens.

1/6 i'm sorry

[hometown]

Come on, I wouldn't tell you that stuff. He's amazing, though. Really, really amazing. I could stare at him for hours. His skin is so warm, too. Do you know how nice that is? Everyone else feels kinda cold to me, but Eren feels right

2/6

[hometown]

I wish I could get him to smile, though. I don't know what happened to him. I think about it all the time. Was it me? I don't know what I do in the future. It's confusing as hell. But if I did something even worse than what I've already done, he wouldn't want to be near me, would he?

3/6

[hometown]

I really don't like our world's future. I mean, I don't know what happens. I still don't like it

4/6

[hometown]

But I like being with Eren. I feel better with him. Even when he's an asshole

5/6

[hometown]

I hope I can get him to smile sometime

6/6 done

[hometown]

[ Wait a sec. ]

Oh, shit, you said you didn't wanna know stuff. Sorry, Jean

[rustyhonesty]

[He did not want more details, but at least the worst was in the first message and it didn't get any more detailed than that. Then he would have had to find Reiner and punch him. But this was oddly cute, he supposed.

But he doesn't say "Those are not the details I meant" because it could easily lead to "Oh, you meant that. Yeah, I wouldn't tell you about the xxxx I do with Eren, and sometimes even xxxxxx."]

I don't know about what happened to him either, but I've noticed the same. Honestly, it took me dying to actually to get him properly yell at me, even if he used to fight all the time.

Maybe with time he'll learn how to again.

[hometown]

I hope so. I wanna see him smile

[ A pause, then another message follows: ]

Wait, really? I can piss him off easily enough. But you two used to fight SO MUCH. I eventually started watching you during meals so I could get between you before it escalated

[rustyhonesty]

I mean, he does get angry with me, but it's nowhere near the same as it used to be. But that already started well before Shiganshina.

The night before we left we had a big fight that felt like the old times, but otherwise he hasn't risen up to my taunts for a long time.

Here the most normal thing was when we competed over who kills more Snowskeletons.

(It ended up as a tie)

[hometown]

That's the trick, Jean! You've just gotta beat him at something! He gets so mad
