☢Drabbles: talk about jotaro~~
Jotaro Kujo.
Who ever thought that Eren would befriend somebody like Jotaro? An extrovert and an introvert, roped together by the same string of determinism and willpower. When they first met, Eren had thought everybody was at the point of giving up--that he'd been the only one left who still maintained enough drive to fight back, to escape. His morale was slowly sucked away by everybody's insistence that retaliation was futile--until Jotaro came along, of course.
With similar goals and mindsets, it'd been impossible to stay away from each other. The encounters began as sharing minor life lessons. Jotaro was and still is a major inspiration. He picked Eren up and reignited the flame that had been drawn to slowly burning embers.
A torture followed by a sign of camaraderie. A care for Eren's well-being. A gateway for the brunet to assume that they've reached the point where a mutual goal could turn into a mutual companionship.
So he began to treat him like a friend. It was too easy. Almost immediately the relationship shifted into something fun and--more significantly--secure. Eren had been at an all time low before Jotaro Kujo entered the scene. But his jokes, the fun at the elder's expense, and the all-around shenanigans he and Jotaro initiate--are why he's as mentally healthy as he is.
HPA is a struggle. He's confined in every since of the word, physically and emotionally. Jotaro is his respite. A steady presence to keep him grounded.
But there's more than that. Jotaro is... Jotaro.
A friend. An important presence. --More than that.
Likes marine life. SHSL Dolphin Enthusiast? That's actually pretty cool. He's never even seen one before but they have to be if Jotaro likes them so much.Eren has always been drawn to intellect--just not in an overt way. Eren himself is the personification of acting before thinking, so he has a deep appreciation of those who are able to formulate well-thought out plans.A sense of humor. A very bad one. A dork. Lets Eren climb on his back while they gallivant around the halls. A sushi eating contest. Sparring. Spar spar spar and Eren Jaeger is victorious!! And he's never felt like he's belonged in a social setting until he wound up befriending one of the less social students in the academy.
Now, as they share a dorm, Eren can keep an eye on his expressions and learn more through Jotaro's reactions. He's been watching the aforementioned a lot, lately. He's a lot more reserved than Eren and the soldier can't help but want to find out more. Dig deeper. If he has to make his own observations and adaptations, he will. Because it's always been easy to read the other. Natural.
It's always going to be easy. He has an unbelievable amount of faith in that. He wants the bond they share to last. To strengthen. To persevere, just as they would individually--but together.
