[UMMMMM NO. But Eren's kind of thinking something much more negative probably.]
Just that I'm an idiot for not seeing what you really are and that it's obvious or something and that he knows you better than I do and I'm seriously going to fucking kick his ass one of these days I swear to- [Focus, Eren.] And just.
When someone looks and acts a certain way doesn't make them what they appear to be. Or something.
[There's a very distinct tone of mild anguish in his voice because seriously Eren just went through this with one of his comrades and he really, really does not want to have to go through it with someone as special as Rui. He stares up at the camera, mildly desperate.]
I'm - yes? Yes. I'm human. Eren, are you all right?
[This seems like a very strange thing to be asking, and as intelligent as Rui is, not everything about this situation has clicked yet. Looking and acting a certain way... Rui just acts like Rui, right? But he doesn't always look like Rui; he has that outward persona, Load, which he hangs onto because it's comfortable and nice.
Ahhh. And there was that time Eren asked about dating a girl and then asked Rui out, that's right.]
Oh. I think I might know what he was talking about.
[Granted, asking Bertl whether or not he was human was just as pointless as asking Rui, right? What proof did he even have? Only, he'd never really thought Rui was anything but human so the moment Rui informed him that yeah, he was human, Eren leaned back into his seat and sighed, rubbing a hand over his face.
Thank fucking god.
Then he drops his hand and a brow is slightly raised.]
What?
[A touch of irritation because he really, really is going to slam Alois' ass to the curb. He liked to think that he knew Rui just as well as Alois.
[He should maybe be a bit more careful when dropping a bomb like this. Sure, he's been bullied for his tastes in the past, but at home he's so isolated, social networking aside, that it isn't really much of an issue anymore; it's something he discards in favor of simply pursuing his interests. And while he has no problem with being a boy, differentiating between genders has never been a priority of his. So the idea that Eren might prefer one gender over the other doesn't occur to him; and the idea that this might really bother Eren doesn't, either.]
[Eren's face is a complete wall of confusion. He doesn't even piece together where this could possibly be going. After all, where he comes from, he's never heard of a boy who dressed as a girl on an every day basis. Boys didn't wear skirts. Not every girl wore skirts but if a skirt was going to get worn it was going to be by a girl. That's the world Eren knew so...So he just stares at Rui, brows furrowed together.]
[Okay so like ten minutes pass. Then there's Eren again and he looks- he looks mortified.]
What the fuck Rui? Why wouldn't you- I've called you a girl several- why wouldn't- don't you think that's a little bit relevant to our God damn- I don't know- relationship?!

[It's not that he means to sound indecisive, it's just that that question feels like it came out of nowhere.]
I mean, I never thought that. Why?

[He sighs quietly to himself and stares down into his lap.]
Are you keeping something from me?

What did he say?
