[ it wasn’t lying if it was omitting— the first plan was still in process, eren just so happened to trot faster to it to avoid showing his equine boner to every single passerby in sight. his paces into the grass are lighter, even gentler as he minds the weight he throws onto the little blades the best he could. ]
Well, um, [ he gestures forward, still holding her hand and swinging it up halfway to their torso’s before it slid down. ] this is where we’re going to live, so . . .
[ the wind, the quietness compared to the city, and look at that . . . a vast horizon of green, peppered with the farmlands already present, far enough from each other to give each property plenty of privacy. ]
[Stealth boner was stealthy, for it'd still gone undetected. Mikasa's gaze had moved away from him in favour of looking at the rolling fields and woodland.
Though she didn't share his care for the grass. She just walked. Though if one looked close enough, they'd find the grass her hooves landed on was just a little greener than the rest.
Then he spoke and her smile slipped. Falling into a frown as she turned her narrow eyes to him.]
...Are you already looking at plots?
[The warning Eren wasn't needed. Her low tone was enough.]
[ his fluster shows in the frown he wears and the body heat he gives off. his ears, for what it’s worth, are free of any apparent flushing when currently floppy, furry and rimmed with brilliant scales (his tail cracks, though, like a whip).
at least he’s heavily distracted from his boner— it should go away in due time. ]
. . . But if you wanted, to look, [ he gestures, and wordlessly closes his sentence up without exactly finishing. ]
[That got her to pause. Her head slowly turning to stare at him in that judging look. Eren...
She just silently left him to stew in her gaze for a moment. What was the plan here? Just a walk where there'd be fewer people to look and laugh at the stumbling jinba? But she sighed. Her head dipping as she slumped.]
I don't want to go back to the shared house yet... [The apartment they'd been living in this past few months. Though that wasn't an answer. The slow step forward was-
Then she paused again, frowning at him.] Did you get something caught on your leg? [And was dragging it along? Yes. That was her thought. That he'd just managed to get tangled on a branch.]
[Mikasa froze when he started to sway, unsure if she should get nearer to help catch him. Unsure if she could manage it without falling over herself. Neither of them had fully adapted. But as she pondered, she noticed...
That the branch was oddly floppy. Her gaze drifting to it as it bobbed. Her eyes narrowed further.]
Huh? [She could see it, she'd seen one of those before. One didn't spend time dealing with horses as much as they had without occasionally seeing...nature. But Mikasa kept staring her gaze drifting to Eren as a whole. Not comprehending that Eren being half-horse meant the horse boner was his.
Oh.........then it hit her. Making her rear up in a small hop. Flinching back and just standing there, rooted to the spot as her face started to burn. Not looking at him at all. She was just going to look at a tree-Then jerking her head to look at some nice bushes as she remembered her branch comment. Yes.
[ no— no, it's happening. you know what was even worse? when she looked at it, at that moment, where eren realized that she had realized— it throbs. yes, it throbs. it moves and strains and nearly hits the underside of his belly, and one really would never begin to understand his embarrassment. how uncool was this? fucking this! ]
You didn't see anything! I didn't—
[ what, "i got turned on along the way and now it won't leave"? oh, dear. more purple than he was red, eren ends up dropping all four of his knees to the ground in a clattering flop— the only sure way of making sure it was out of sights, but no, it actually wasn't. he couldn't lay down like this. it was uncomfortable. finally, eren makes sure his qilin body is facing away from the unicorn after a few struggling shuffles, gathering some stray leaves and loose grass blades to just. cover up.
[The silence was deafening, Mikasa's lips pressing into a thin line as her head turned back to him at the sudden... movement of his.....yes, moving was hard to miss.
Then he just-plopped onto the ground, scrabbling and Mikasa took a small half-step closer. A hoof still held in midair as she tried to work out if she should get closer or just leave him to it. Frowning as he started to throw leaves and grass over his...his dick. Eren-]
What are you doing?
[well that peen wasn't going anywhere near her now...]
[ he's absolutely desperate and not thinking, not that it was embarrassing to have a boner in front of your girlfriend, it was just— embarrassing to to have it in a publicly open space and suddenly, too? there was no way else to hide it and grass, not even the stupid leaves are helping, as the shouldn't.
he lays his human torso on the ground and covers his head with his arms in defeated shame, muttering out: ]
Mikasa just remained still and silent for a moment. Watching this display. Her hands coming up slightly, falling again. Just...She's just going to take a deep breath. What? She really didn't know.
Then there's a sigh as she closed the distance. Awkwardly lowering herself until she too was led on the floor. Not as...dramatically. She was normal thx. She didn't try to touch him though. Thinking again.
[ thanks for making your boyfriend feel more like an alien with the plague!!! eren tenses when she sits close by, and no, he doesn’t lift himself yet. ]
I wanted to see the land with you. And ask you.
[ the proposition had come first in his mind, then the browsing. the boner was not planned, and with a quiet mumble that’s too embarrassed to rise, ]
[She did want to!! She wanted to pat him on the shoulder, maybe rub his back and haul him to his feet. But he'd rolled away and Mikasa didn't want to make things worse, so she just sat-led here. Awkwardly hovering. And it was oh so awkward.
Because...There really wasn't anything they could do about it, was there? They just had to wait it out. Mikasa tried to do that, her head dipping, looking at the ground as though it were the most interesting thing in the world.
Her ears twitching when they caught a whisper and that made her head snap right back up. Staring at him wide-eyed, giving him an owlish blink.]
Huh?
[Well done Eren, you've just gained her undivided attention. Did he just-?]
[ eren can feel the heat seeping over his face like a wildfire, and what was worst was that it was untamed. his lips pull down and he faces mikasa with— that look, the infamous frown a tsundere would hold as his heart skipped at that damn cute face looking all surprised and flushed because, yes! she’s beautiful! she’s beautiful right now. ]
You’re still . . . Beautiful.
[ the state is maintained. he means it. and he just frowns deeper as his boner doesn’t fucking let up, but, that’s just how things are. ]
['Cute', was her gormless, blank face that cute though? Because she lept just staring. Shoulders hunching as she started to wilt, hands wringing the front of her skirt. Her face so warm that steam was almost pouring out her ears. Her gaze falling to the ground.]
Oh... [Silence. Was he frowning? Mikasa didn't notice, she didn't register much at all. The brain had turned to mush.] But I'm like this.
[ one may confuse his tone for building anger, because truly, so???? she had horse legs, or maybe furry legs next month, or maybe plant legs to next. it doesn’t remove attraction for him in the slightest. and with a grand huff: ]
[Her ears dip in a small flinch. Her lips pursing. Eren... She wasn't too sure what to make of that. A part of her was glad, she'd have loved Eren no matter what but....
But popping a boner seemed a bit beyond unconditional love.
...Wasn't it? Mikasa wasn't so sure anymore. Slowly, she shuffled. The grass parting to make a soft indent for her to rest on.]
O-Okay... [But this knowledge brought nothing. Because he still had his...issue?] ...Now what? [Did she go back and just leave him here to deal with it or? She didn't like the idea of doing that, but there wasn't much else she could do.]
[ “now what” after “you’re god damn beautiful any way you are”, that is going to echo in his head for a really god damn long time today. there was the obvious route, and they were certainly beyond something unconditional to him, but if she’s clueless on that . . .
he inhales, deeply, and for a second feels a tinge of inefficacy the same way he did when he asked her “what am i to you” and she responded with “family”. ]
Go back. [ he shrugs, but keeps his gaze low, ] I can take care of myself.
[Look, it was a perfectly valid question when there was a boner she didn't know what to do with. It'd have been awkward enough if he was a human. But as a Jinba...she had no idea.
Even as he told her to go, she remained sitting.]
Are you sure? I don't like leaving you... [She dote and worry. Even if he wasn't ill. ]
[ not the dislike of leaving him behind, but actually leaving him. with some attempt at gesture at his concealed (sort of) boner, his shoulders drop with a sigh. ]
This isn’t going away so soon. [ even if he too, disliked the idea and preferred they hang out in the woods, but at least the erection had been shot half dead already. he’ll just need more time. ] If you start ahead, I’ll catch up.
[ it’s the only reassurance that he’ll follow after her soon that he can give. ]
[She still looked uneasy, even as she slowly rose. Glancing at him and looking away the whole time. Once she was up, she backed up, still tentative. Then she turned.
Walking a little bit. Turning back to look... It really did resemble a sad puppy. But she managed to drag her gaze away and make the journey home. Still torn between staying and leaving.]
[ he waited and resisted the urge to look behind him. at least, his ears did some of the sneaky work for him, rotating sideways to listen to the beat of her hooves until all he could feel were distant vibrations in the earth going sound and calm. perhaps it may have been a disappointing (and disappointed) boner, but what could he even argue about semi-public lovemaking with equine bodies?
in a handful of minutes, from twenty to a half hour, eren is one his way to trail behind her and return to the cramped spaces of their apartment. perhaps there, he could make some advancements. she'd feel him close with the return of the presence of his fiery, ruby gem that she knew so intimately. ]
