[ A small basket is left on the doorstep of Eren's cottage.
Inside the basket are some sachets of tea, wrapped up in some little ribbons. Tucked beside them is a lavender plant and some chocolate at the bottom. The final thing, tucked between it all, is what is clearly a very hand made dog plushie, with a note tucked into the collar around its neck:
Happy Christmas! I saw on the network that you might be worried about nightmares, so I got you some things that I thought would help with that - sorry if I am wrong! The chocolate is just a Christmas gift, and I hope you like the dog... At least this way you have something to keep forever! Have a really good holiday! From - Your Secret Snowflake! ]

It had been stupid. It had been stupid to figure he had most of the day to get back to the Keep. It had been stupid to figure as long as he could make it there by four o'clock, things would be fine. Because Dylan hadn't accounted for being stalked by those horrid little creatures. He hadn't accounted for being trapped by the lot of them. And as the sun began to set and the sickness settled in under his skin, Dylan was in a full panic -- knowing he was going to be caught outside. He was going to have to face what he feared most -- roaming free as a werewolf.
The only thing he knew for certain was he was near Eren's home. So, he shot off a panicked text to Eren because Eren is a monster too, right? Eren could handle him. Eren could maybe wrangle him. Throw some chains on him and call it a day. Anything to keep him from hurting anyone else.
Maybe Eren arrived right before Dylan transformed. If he had, Dylan would have reiterated what he said in the text message. Stop me from hurting anyone. No matter what it fucking takes. But either way, when the transformation happened, Dylan's skin exploded off into a bloody mess on fresh fallen snow. And the monster he became, upon smelling something fresh and warm, instantly went to attack.
And that was how they remained, locked in battle for much of the evening. It was only with the nearing of dawn that Dylan disengaged and put distance between himself and Eren -- settling near a cluster of trees. It ends with another explosion of blood, and Dylan comes back to himself, naked and suddenly cold. It's disorienting and he lets out a shuddered sob as his eyes sweep the area -- eventually landing on Eren. He reels back at the sight of him -- bloody and dangerous.
"Oh god...." his stomach turns. Dylan feels sick.

Of course Eren had answered. He wasn't as good at playing like he didn't care about anyone but himself these days. Maybe some of it was curiosity; from one monster to another, he wanted to see what it was like.
It was absolutely nothing like he imagined, the explosion of blood, the creature Dylan became that did not look like a literal wolf, the immediate ferocity. Eren was ready for it, though, teeth closing on his hand, the lightning strike that turned into the titan transformation before Dylan could cause him any real harm.
The werewolf was obviously much smaller than a fifteen meter tall titan. Eren could keep the creature from tearing into him for awhile with his armour. The biggest challenge was that he didn't actually want to hurt Dylan, but he couldn't stand against him as a human. Mostly he just defended.
It was only later he realised he probably could have just encased Dylan in titan crystal for the night and saved them both the fucking trouble. Hindsight and all that!
He's still a titan when Dylan goes back to being Dylan, impossibly large, green eyes blazing in the growing morning light. He looks down at Dylan from that height. The titan's face doesn't really have expression. It just has a lot of teeth.
He stays there for a long moment, guard up, but Dylan is really just Dylan. No more werewolf. Still a lot of blood. Well, fine.
Eren emerges from the back of the neck of the titan, pieces of it still hanging off him as the whole thing dissipates into too-hot steam, melting the snow around it as it goes. There won't be anything left of it; that's just how this goes. Eren's torn coat is somewhere in all the snow, but he doesn't really give a shit about that.
He finally ends up back on the ground. He doesn't look much the worse for wear in the end, though he's obviously tired.
"Dylan," he says, seeking…he's not sure. Recognition? A reaction to the titan itself? Confirmation that Dylan isn't going to burst out of his skin again?

[So remember that meat you wanted, Eren? When he opens his door, he'll happen to find a small box of Tianshu Meat! Inside the box, there'll be a note that reads:]
Hope you like it! I want to keep my promise! ❤

I'm going out for a longer trip. Mikasa's staying behind, so she'll get updates about it.
I just thought I'd let you know, especially since I don't know how long it will take.

[ Eren doesn't expect Levi to tell him where he goes all the time, nor does he NEED that, but after what just happened with Jean this month, is he really expected to just accept 7 words on a note?
And FEED THE CAT, seriously???
No way. (Just kidding, of course he'll feed the cat.)
But he texts Levi anyway. ]
How long will you be gone?
You told Hange, right?

How long will you be gone?
You told Hange, right?
[It has been three days since Eren returned home to a note on the fridge, and this time it is Hange hammering on his door, waiting to be let in.]
[Once it finally opens, the first thing Eren will see is Hange's phone being shoved in his face. Feel free to take it and read it.]
He's going to be back in three days, apparently.

[ Eren doesn't really get visitors so he's a little surprised. What's more surprising is Hange shoving their phone in his face.
He blinks, but then takes it and steps back so they can come in.
Wow, rude thinking he's gonna clean cat shit off the floor by the way? ]
This still didn't answer much. Who did he even go with if it's not you or...I don’t know. Jean? But Jean didn't go anywhere as far as I know.
[ Eren doesn't know Levi is besties with Gabi or whatever or he might suggest her. ]

What a weird question. Same as usual. I pulled it up today.
What a weird question. Same as usual. I pulled it up today.
I wanted to talk to you about something. Do you wanna meet or do you mind texting?
It's nothing too serious if this is a bad time.
[Please say it's a bad time. He might regret asking about this particular thing. But he's now curious.]

I'm not busy. If it's not serious text is fine but you can come over if you want.
[ RIP both of them. ]
[ RIP both of them. ]
[Jean didn't send a message beforehand. Instead he's just making a visit. That he's sure will just be a quick "hi, bye" so why bother making an announcement on it. And if Eren wasn't home, he'd just give Levi what he has so he could give it to Eren.
It's a strange, long package he has. Weirdly sword-shaped. He's been working on the present in secret for a while now.
Knock knock.]

[ Eren isn't on a quest or trying new food so he's home. He's not expecting anyone, but that doesn't matter; the only people who come here are friends anyway.
But Jean coming by without announcing it? He's not expecting that. ]
Jean? Is something going on?
[ Of course he immediately assumes there's a problem. ]

[There's a neat package delivered to his apartment, with Eren's name clearly written on top of the box. Once opened, there will be a Mermaid Necklace inside with a note:]
Eren,
I do not know when your birthday might be, but consider this a gift for you for this year. It's a Mermaid Necklace; Maybe sometime we'll go for a swim, and this might be a fun addition to that.
- Ozymandias
[Attached to the necklace is a note:]
Mermaid Necklace
Item that lets you transform into a mermaid. You remain a mermaid as long as the necklace stays around your neck and you remain in water. If one of the conditions isn't met you turn back into your regular self.

[ Eren's absolutely mystified by the gift. He knows what Ozymandias is like, that he likes to give gifts to people he likes. But what does this have to do with swimming? Mermaid? That sounds…well, whatever image he just had is absolutely not anything like what a mermaid is, that's for sure.
So he texts: ]
Thanks for the gift. My birthday was 30 March.
I don't know what a mermaid is though.

[While discussing it with Levi Hange decides to send a text...]
Hi, Eren! How are you!
I was paying my bills for the month, and wow! I'm going to have to take up so SO many more guild missions if I want to keep buying all these things from the department store!
I liked it better when this place didn't make you pay rent, it's so expensive!!
Anyway I was just wondering, you're doing okay on money too, right? You can pay the rent? It's a little different to the Survey Corps when we didn't have to worry about that sort of thing..
[It's actually a giant LIE because Hange's finances are perfectly fine, but hopefully it's less suspicious...]

[ This is weird. Is Hange having some kind of money trouble? That they don’t want to tell Levi about? ]
It's annoying paying rent but it's not a big deal. I have plenty of money leftover every month.
Do you need some?

[ This is a weird apology to get??? Reiner pls ]
I know about Armin.
What did you yell at him for? Apologise to him, not me.

[ The weird spider man has come bearing gifts. He might have picked up more than one book of poems. He holds the loot in the crook of his arm, and knocks with his free hand. He also turns his head to chide the ferret on his shoulder. ]
Now behave yourself, we're guests.
Now behave yourself, we're guests.
[ Eren answers the door, but whatever he's expecting, V isn't it. Sure, they talked on the network and there was that thing about being afraid of spiders, but somehow he wasn't expecting V to be a spider person. He stares for a second.
One of the ferrets stares back.
He's never seen a ferret before, either, so there's a lot of firsts happening right now.
He realises this is rude, actually. ]
Uh…shit, sorry. You're V, aren't you? Here, come in.

[ Now that Levi is aware of the true nature of Eren being on the sex app and also of all the uncomfortable tension he and Reiner had going on in Levi's kitchen, he's a little less awkward company. Probably nothing too noticeable, but every now and then, maybe when they watch Annika or when Levi deigns to share tea with Eren, it might feel like he's just a little more relaxed around him again. ]
[ (Which may or may not be mutual at the moment considering The Bath Incident, but that's a different story.) ]
[ There may or may not be more contributing factors leading to today, but the end result is still Levi stalking into the kitchen and just staring at Eren for a prolonged moment before he finally makes his plans known. ]
Get ready. We're going shopping.
[ Good talk. ]

[ Eren deals with whatever that Bath Incidenttm was by just refusing to think about it! Mostly! He might make a little bit more noise when he comes home just in case but who's keeping track of something silly like that?
Anyway! They do get along watching Annika and whatever.
Eren thinks sometimes of the fact that they don't touch. He's sure Levi gets enough physical contact (probably from Hange, not that he's thinking about that. really!) to not be in danger. Eren himself gets more than enough these days. But...well, it used to be a little different. Levi is never touchy feely in Eren's experience, but he figures the captain just can't stand to touch him now.
He deserves worse, so he just accepts it.
Eren is at the kitchen table when Levi comes in and just...stares at him? What the hell. He stares back. Is this...some weird kind of confrontation he's unprepared for? It makes him tense; it's not like he's done anything wrong recently that he's aware of.
Before he can spin that thought process out too far, Levi speaks. Of all the things he could say, that's not what Eren expects and confusion shows on his face. ]

[She's been more or less thinking about this ever since Armin arrived and all the basic questions like "Do you need food, clothes.... money, anything???" popped into her head as soon as she saw him. She should have asked this sooner but better now than even later or never and she absolutely had so many other things to think about when Eren arrived here.]
Hey, Eren, why do you always wear the same clothes?

[ He has to read this twice. What kind of question is this? Why does everyone suddenly care what he wears?? ]
I don't. I have enough clothes for a week or two. I don't wear the same shirt now that I have more of them.
[ Sure they all look really similar. He's completely missing the point here. ]

[ after deciding on a plan of action with Hange, it doesn't take that long to bring it to realization. ]
[ just as agreed, Hange asks around and does research and eventually purchases whatever salves are used for that kind of stuff nowadays, and it's Levi's task to leave it somewhere Eren will definitely find quickly. And once he does, if he has any questions, he can ask them and if he doesn't then they never need to actually talk about it! ]
[ flawless plan, truly. ]
[ Levi shoves the thing (it turns out to be a fucking gift basket of lube and assorted items because of course it does since every damn clerk wants to rip the clueless grandpa people off apparently and the apothecary receptionist saw their ticket to being the worker of the month) into a desk drawer in Eren's room when he's away (probably meeting Reiner, being stupid horny teenagers without any appropriate gear), certain that he'll come across it sooner rather than later, and leaves it be. ]

[Sometime after conversation with Reiner, Jean decides to contact Eren. He's not sure why, it just felt like something he wanted to bring up. That he knew, now, about things he didn't before, even if still far less than everyone else.]
I had Reiner tell me about the history of our world.
I didn't know it could become even worse than it was.
[Technically, he had asked about the place Reiner was from, but he got a bonus history lesson, and now he needs to voice that it's bullshit.]

[ Eren reads this message like three times before he finally answers. Reiner doesn't know about Eren starting the Rumbling, not yet. But he knows what it is; Marleyans were all terrified of it, told for a hundred years that the island devils might wake up the wall titans or some shit.
All it takes is one, though. Well, two if you count Zeke, but whatever. ]
Our world is hell.
What did he tell you?

[ The week of 12/24, Eren will find a somewhat small, circular present on his doorstep. The package is on top of a plastic-wrapped paper plate of cookies; they appear to be sugar cookies with cranberries mixed in. The bottoms are a bit more brown than golden, but they taste delicious!
The present, once unwrapped, is a leather woven bracelets like the one he talked to Reiner about; it has dark green beads and suspiciously familiar golden ones woven through them.
There's also a little handwritten post-it from Marco. ]
Eren -
Apparently we give gifts at this time of year here! This is a little bracelet I made for you, to remind you of your friends.
Reiner has one too; if you both hold hands, you'll be able to activate a charm that creates little hearts by saying each others names! The activation word for the charm is "Hearts up".
Please don't do crazy stuff in my brain again.

On 12/24, a delivery is made by a Fairy service.
The package pretty big. It's a Japanese katana, since he just felt like it might fit Eren for some reason. There's also a gift card to a barbecue place in Solarpeak (the same as Reiner's gift card).
The card simply says: "Happy Holidays from Jean"
OOC note: You can pick the design for the katana yourself; it's definitely customized in a way that reminds of Eren.

On 12/24, Eren receives a gift from Ozymandias.
It's a set of jewelry. Some stylish earrings, a necklace and a bracelet. More suggestively, there's also a penis ring with a note "for some orgasm delay play with anyone you please". Additionally, there's a package of very fancy hot chocolate.
The card says;
Eren,
These pieces of jewelry made me think of you. You don't have to wear them, but I wanted to give them to you. The earrings can be modified so you don't need to pierce your ears.
I appreciate a lot about you and still think after everything I saw, you're still human. It takes a lot more than the end of the world to make me change my mind.
Happy Holidays.
Sincerely,
Ozymandias
ooc: feel free to decide what the jewelry looks like!
