If you’re still taking requests for the 100 followers celebration, eremin for “salon” ^^

Capri!!! 🥰 I know we only recently started our regular moot correspondence, but you are so fun to talk to! About AOT, about dragons, and about sticky geckos! 🦎🦎🦎Thank you so very much for choosing to follow a silly little blog like mine, and I hope you enjoy the onslaught of Eremin fluff I am about to drop on your doorstep!

Prompt #26: Salon ft Eremin| 100 Follower Special

A/N: This is set during the summer before the boys enter college and when Armin gets his hair cut short! Which Eren has very mixed feelings about as we shall see. Also it's my first time writing hair-dressing so I hope I was able to depict it somewhat accurately.

C/W: Nothing unless you count Eremin being a lethally cute couple.

If Armin had a dollar for every wistful sigh he heard from the passenger seat of his car that afternoon, he wouldn't need the five scholarships he had recently won. He didn't even need to look over to see the puppy dog pout on Eren's face as he ran his fingers gently through the long golden strands of Armin's hair.

"Sure you're gonna be okay?" Armin asked, giving a wry smile to Eren, who continued to make Armin hypothetically richer with another sigh.

"Yeah... just taking it in one last time."

"If you're really that bummed out about it, I can get the ends trimmed instead" Eren shook his head and brought his hand out of Armin's hair and onto the blonde's hand for a squeeze.

"No! No! This is something you've had your heart set on. I'm all for it, really!"

With college just around the corner, Armin had wanted to make a fresh start. And a big part of that was ditching the long bob cut he'd been sporting since the age of six. Honestly, even he didn't know why it had kept it this length for so many years. Maybe it was just a familiar part of his life that he had been content to keep unchanged. At least until recently when Armin had finally gotten fed up with his neck getting so sweaty during the summer and with being mistaken for Historia's twin.

Besides, with Eren growing his hair out, they could be inverse hair development boyfriends.

Turning left as the light switched to green, Armin pulled into a nearby shopping plaza and started scanning the rows of stores.

"Is this the place?"

"Yup! Right there next to the sandwich shop!" Eren beamed, pointing at a salon with a bright neon hot pink gecko sign in the window. "I've been going to this place for years, so the staff and I are pretty tight. I can get you the VIP treatment!" Armin quirked up an eyebrow at this boast.

"Years? Wait, is this the same salon Carla goes to?"

"Yes, and now I've got my own set-up. Which means you've got your own set-up." Eren grinned, playfully tapping Armin on the nose much to the other boy's amusement "Because you deserve nothing but the best!"

As soon as Armin found a parking spot, the two entered the building and were greeted with the cool rush of AC and the flowery ammonia-laced smell of hairspray and nail polish. A woman in her late forties with curly hazel brown hair and minty green gel manicured nails looked up from where she was finishing with a client and gave a joyful gasp.

"Eren, baby! Come over here! It's been ages! God, look how big you've gotten!" With a bashful chuckle, Eren gave the woman a brief but tight embrace.

"It's only been a couple months, Sophia!"

"Yeah and I bet in a couple more, you're gonna bang your head on the doorframe" she quipped "You here for your usual?"

"Actually, I'm just a tagalong for this handsome daffodil!" Eren smiked, wrapping an arm around Armin with pride "Armin, this is Sophia. Sophia, this is my boyfriend Armin"

"Nice to meet you, ma'aam" said Armin, politely offering a hand for Sophia to shake.

"The Armin Arlert? Oh, sweetie, I've been hearing about you for years! You are getting the royal treatment!"

One brief check-in and wait later and Armin was getting his hair washed in preparation for the cut and snorting with laughter as Eren asked him questions in a fake serious voice as though Armin was being waterboarded.

"Who do you work for? Who's your contact?"

Sophia shook her head fondly at the boys' antics as she helped Armin up and proceeded to get her supplies ready. Then it was time for the big moment. Eren gave the strands one final loving kiss as Sophia prepared the scissors. He gently rubbed his thumb along Armin's cheek, reveling in its softness.

"You ready?" Armin leaned into Eren's touch and gave his fingers an equally delicate smooch.

"As I'll ever be"

With this go-ahead, Sophia got to work. Eren watched as the blonde whisps of Armin's locks fluttered to the ground like straw in the wind with each snip of the scissors. Bit by bit, Sophia sectioned out areas of Armin's still-damp hair and worked through them with the scissors and the blow-dryer until the end.

"What do you think, hun?" Sophia asked, as Armin marveled at his new shorter hair in the mirror. A burst of warmth surged through him as Eren lovingly scratched at the undercut.

"I think it's a keeper"

hows bread loaf eren doing? havent asked in a while XD

He's been hibernating through most of the winter. Been keeping his little potato body thoroughly warmed with lots of blankets and you can hear him beep in his sleep every once in a while. He wakes up now and then for little treats! 😊 How's your Bread Loaf Eren doing?

ok concept. levi and hange babysitting marcy and porky, versus any of the other couples babysitting them. levi and hange are the ONLY people i can think of with the skills: levi with his ackerman powers of strength and speed in order to prevent his things from being Monched by Marcy and his door from being opened in an escape attempt by Porky, and hange with their knowledge of all things titans!

They are the only two that I would trust to handle Marcy and Porky. 🤣🤣🤣Porky tries to bolt out of the house after the ice cream truck, but he doesn't even get halfway across the lawn before Levi snatches him up. Porky is flailing his little limbs and screaming bloody murder at the indignity and audacity of this tiny man who dares keep him from frozen deliciousness.🍦😤

Meanwhile Hange is reading Marcy a little picture book about titans like "you get most of your nutrition through sunlight and the rest through chicken nuggets. Isn't that fascinating?" And Marcy beeps because yes, that is fascinating. He thought he got ALL of his strength from chicken nuggets.😲

very happy to learn that sticky gecko toys are real and anyone can buy them.

Erwin named them Green, Red, Yellow, and Blue. But the names don't correspond to the color of the gecko. He enjoys confusing people who visit his home.

They are a HOOT! I remember having a couple as a kid and sticking and unsticking them to the walls. 😊 The only thing that's not so fun is when they get hair and other debris stuck on them so you gotta clean them off. But other than that, 10/10 would reccomend.

And omg, Erwin would totally do that! 😆😆 Man's got an entire rainbow army of sticky geckos and none of their names correspond to their actual colors and he's like "what you thought Blue was going to be blue? Expand your horizons beyond the stereotypes.🙄"

That frog post you tagged me in of the frog rolling down the hill reminds me so much of bread loaf eren yeager

NO BUT THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED LAST NIGHT! 😆😆😆😆 I woke up to find him like this! He rolled out of bed and got stuck like a little buff beelzebufo stuck on his back!

mental image: its aot season 4. floch is being a massive ballsack to everyone. Fox approaches him privately to have a conversation. During this, fox presents him with a "gift". it's a lovely puss caterpillar, with a tiny little bow wrapped around it. Fox says he picked it out cause it matches floch's hair. Floch thinks, well thats a little weird but whatever. Fox places the caterpillar on him and he has to go to the hospital because Fox gave him one of the most poisonous caterpillars, which remarkably, do resemble his season 3 hairstyle.

ASDBFJFIKSNSBHCSRWRCEGDUUDJD I LOVE THIS CATERPILLAR!!! Toxic little branch tribble! 🤣🤣🤣

Fox once again being MVP and saving a bunch of lives in the process! I'd question where he got a puss caterpillar but maybe they're endemic to Paradis. Even if they're not, I'm sure Fox has his sources.

concept: Erwin and fox babysitting eren and armins AND mikasa and jeans kids. Chaos ensues

HBFBHEBFBHERHJBFVR YEEEESSS!!!

Erwin knew it was a bad idea from the start. One child he can maybe sort of handle, but THREE? The man's iron will can only take so much! 🤣🤣🤣 But Fox was the one who talked them into it because Eremin and Jeankasa are in desperate need of a night out and Fox is convinced that since they've watched all three kids individually before, than having them together shouldn't be that hard. He is so very, VERY wrong.

Erwin would try to wrangle the kids in for storytime and is baffled as to why they're bored by the history book with no pictures he's reading as though it's part of a video for college students. Then Fox suggests they all do a group play of Jurassic Park with the kids being the dinosaurs and Erwin playing all the human parts except for Hammond (because Fox wants to do his own gilf interpretation of the role 😭🤣) And then that escalates into Haru and Marco running around the kitchen screeching like tiny raptors in footie pajamas while Erwin and Fox try to get them under control.

And then they remember Luna's still on the prowl!

headcanon that Erwin invites eren mikasa armin jean etc to be counselors at Junior Scouts Day Camp. chaos ensues

Without question!!! 😆😆

Eren didn't even know how to interact with kids when he was a kid himself so he is absolutely clueless and probably picks a fight with some of the mouthier ones. Now when he goes titan, the kids are either pissing their pants and crying at the sight of him or using him as their own personal playground. Climbing up on his back, sliding down his legs, swinging on his hair or braiding it. All while Eren is trying to be as still as possible because Levi will skewer him if he accidentally smashes a camper.

Then you have Mikasa who, based on that one shot of none of the kids from Historia's orphanage gravitating towards her and jumping on Sasha and Connie instead, also isn't the best around children. Very much like Erwin being all "hello small human with sticky hands. What do you want from me?" Accidentally made at least two or three kids cry just by looking at them and then she has to chase them down when they run away in fear which only makes them run more because she has that scary dead-eyed look as she runs after them like a cheetah.🤣🤣 But I think she'd make a pretty good embroidery teacher.

Armin would probably be the most well-suited to this. I can just imagine him doing a little reading circle with the kids under a tree and showing them how to feed nuts very gently to squirrels. 😊😊 And if this is post-Shiganshina then they can do little beach walks and Armin can show them all the little fish and shells and tide pools!
