    The blonde sighed, slumping up against the outside wall of a building until he was seated upon the ground. Why was it so difficult? He supposedly had a brilliant mind, and his friends said he was reliable and always there when they needed him most. Yet, no matter what they said, he still felt so weak, so helpless. He knew why... he just wasn't sure how to do anything about it.

    In this world, only the strong survive. And while he wasn't necessarily unfit, he wasn't strong. He didn't have nerves of steel, he had nerves of rubber at best, and his timid and shy nature made him appear even weaker than he already was. Add that to his small and slender stature, and you had a boy who the others could practically walk all over.

"Ugh. Why can't I get stronger..?" He muttered quietly, not thinking anyone would be around to hear him. "If only I had the courage to just ask somebody to train me..."

Second Choice (Jearmin drabble; first-person Jean perspective)

// I decided I wanted to write a little Jearmin drabble I had in my mind when I was in the shower. Something that’s kind of how I’ve been feeling lately, and both of my muses (Jean and Armin) could portray the scenario really well for me. As I wrote down little notes about it, it gradually got more and more detailed, and the entire scenario played itself out as follows.

I’m not really good at “fanfictions” so I wouldn’t call it that. It’s just a short little excerpt, at best. It was too confusing to keep it third-person, so I played out Jean’s role in first-person since I related to him more in this situation. I hope that’s okay.

// I has an idea for a Jearmin plot. Now I just need to also come up with ideas for the rest of the group, and actually discuss these ideas with the other members. .-. I want threads.

For now, shower time, because my hair is bothering me very much. May install Skyrim so I can do streaming things.

May I Have This Dance?

[fvghter]

— ✯ Looking up at Armin, his expression flashed only briefly to one of hurt. Like that pricking pain within him as though needles were threatening to pierce through his heart. Perhaps he shouldn’t have said anything about being scary, because it was a reminder that it was all too probable for the blond to fear him after everything that had happened. However the wave of doubt in the other’s words was very brief, quickly transforming into a small smile, letting the other know that whatever he said it was alright. Just that small smile held all too much emotion, large orbs reflecting his every emotion though it was a flurry of many — both happy and cautious, perhaps even slightly pained. 

     Quickly shrugging off the doubtful feeling, he stood he imagined what it would be like to really dance with somebody. He had never danced, so it wasn’t something that he even thought about of knew of in particular. Thinking more on it, he would probably be awful at it and at that thought it caused his nose to crinkle slightly, not liking the idea of being bad at something. But when the other went to stand he looked at him confused for a moment, dropping his hands before the other spoke. "Practicing…? Have you ever danced before, because I sure haven’t… and we have no music…!" 

     Where did this sudden feeling of nervousness come from? He assumed it was the dancing, but that wasn’t it, they would probably both be awful, but still there was this twisting, fluttering feeling in his stomach that still compelled him to moved closer. Oh he knew why, but wouldn’t dare admit. With a shake of his head and a small laugh at himself, he perked up and smiled at the other, walking into the more open area of the room. Moving his right leg behind him slightly, he bent at the hips slightly, leaning over to outstretch his right hand towards the blond. No harm, right? "Can I have this dance?"

[tactica-prodigium]

    He tilted his head slightly, the male's question actually raising a valid point. He hadn't really considered the fact that they would have to dance to pure silence. He started listing off options in his mind, trying to figure out a possibility to remedy the situation, but after all the things he could come up with seemed unlikely or outright impossible, he could only think of one thing. The more he considered it, the more he grew to like the idea. "Why don't I sing for us, then? I-if that's okay, that is..."

    He swallowed down some of his nervousness, lacing his fingers together behind his back, shifting back and forth between his left and right foot for balance. He stared down at the ground, incredibly nervous about the offers he had made. First he suggested they dance together, and now he suggested singing. What was he thinking? He didn't have the confidence for this, he was just going to make himself look like a fool in front of his best friend. In front of his... his... He couldn't even admit to himself what Eren was to him.

    He sighed deeply, only to be caught off-guard by the brunet's response. He had actually... bowed to him, and reached for his hand in dance..? The boy's face turned slightly red, biting at the inside of his lower lip, before he forced a smile and nodded. "Y-yes! Yes, definitely!" He took a deep breath, and reached his own hand out to take the other's, knowing he'd be able to sense the nervousness from his shaking, but deciding it was worth every second. "Should I take the lead, or do you think you can handle it..?"

You've got to be kidding me... Lux Aeterna! Been so long since I heard that song~! Thank you for following me, happy you did because now I can hang around on your blog for a long time just listening to that perfect music :3

// I just noticed this ask, I’m so sorry for how late it is. But, mhm~!

The order of songs on my playlist has changed, it’s now in this order:

1.) Wintergatan - Starmachine20002.) Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna3.) Pandora Hearts - Alice’s Theme4.) Hans Zimmer - Aurora

The first one stands out a little bit compared to the other three, but it’s because it’s a song I really really like right now. I may change it later to a song by Detektivbyrån instead, which was Wintergatan’s spiritual predecessor, so to speak. ^^

[tactica-prodigium]

// Added a new song to my blog because it's really cute. It's almost too cheerful for my blog, but whatever, I really really like the song. x3

I need threads also. I'm obligated to be more active on this blog, but I don't have but one thread going going right now. I'm working on the draft, but that's really not enough. ;; Please drop by my ask box?

May I Have This Dance?

[fvghter]

— ✯ Watching the other trip up upon his entrance and vocalization he couldn’t help but laugh, though he tried to stifle it so it came out a bit choked and hoarse. "Am I really that scary?" through small bits of laughter his voice was softer than it was. Softer than most people got to experience it… A kind, smiling, laughing side of himself that was only reserved for a few to see. Armin was obviously one of those people. In fact, he couldn’t help but smile around the smaller blond. The way he was so set on his dreams, their dreams, was enough to brighten his dark and dreary days. 

     "Ooooh…" He finally said in wonder at the others words, now feeling a bit stupid for his previous statement about what he thought a ball room actually was. He could smack himself in the head for his idiocy, but he refrained. Looking up at familiar blue hues, he looked as though he was asking for permission as his hands grasped the book and calloused hands grazed over the page, eyes narrowing as he looked at the extravagant, large room. After he was done admiring the room, he looked at the people in the picture, how close they were together, hand in hand… Women in elaborated dresses and men in strange looking suits. So close… Dancing, right? 

     He pointed down to the page at the people he was looking at and then up at Armin with a bright smile. "So that’s ballroom dancing then? What those people are doing?" Handing the book back to Armin, nearly shoving it back into his hands, he looked at the picture one last time before sitting up really straight, raising one hand up and curling it into a light fist, as though he was grasping anothers hand and putting his lower down, as though he was holding the waist of someone. "Like that right? That doesn’t look hard."

[tactica-prodigium]

    "Oh, no! It's not that, it--" He had initially tried to apologize, but when he heard the other male laughing, he simply stopped speaking and smiled gently. He should have known the brunet was only joking, he just instinctively went to apologize first without thinking. He never knew if he was going to say something that might offend somebody, and considering the whole titan shifter situation with Eren was still a sketchy subject because of how some people acted towards him since they found out, he reacted to the male's assumption of being scary on that pretense.

    He nodded affirmatively as the other boy reached towards the book, and watched him curiously, almost studying his expression as much as Eren was studying the book. His own blue eyes shimmered in delight at the boy's reactions. He wasn't entirely sure if he was interested in it or not, but he could tell he was definitely paying attention to every little detail, and was definitely fascinated by it. This, in itself, pleased the blonde greatly because he knew he wasn't the only one who found it really spectacular. Even if someone didn't want to take part of it, he felt there was no way they couldn't be amazed by it at least.

    He smiled excitedly, and nodded a couple times in response to his statement. "That's exactly what they're doing!" He tilted his head, though, when the male started posing as if he were one of the people in the images, although he couldn't help but giggle at how silly it looked doing it by himself. He shook his head, still smiling, and set the book on the table. Slowly standing up from his seat, he gestured with one of his hands towards the more open area of the room away from the table and bed. "Why don't we try practicing it then? It could be fun!"
