An odd statement. A sentiment once echoed in the days after Eren's disappearance, when the early morning hours held a new emptiness. The same way he felt in the minutes after a friend's death knowing a text exchange would never pop up on his phone again.
He doesn't want to lay down. Sleep. Take a nap. Rest near someone reeking of alcohol, but-
Eren is persistent and annoying. If Akechi continues to argue, Eren will match it. If he leaves, he'll probably follow. Enough noise and Maruki will intervene, which is the most irritating realization of all.
He can sneak out in a few minutes - lay there, placate a fucking toddler and then go about his day.]
One hour. [A beat, and he slowly, slowly, so fucking slowly slides to the head of the bed.] No touching.
cw: MURDER
