[This is really the sort of thing that makes Rui achieve his livelihood: when he's not brooding about how he hasn't become humanity's savior yet and stuff, he can be bright-eyed and flush-faced, all warm and glowy.]
Really, you will? All right! I - I'm making a library run really soon here but I'm free any time after that, I mostly planned on staying inside with the books for the rest of the week... So... Anytime you want. I'll be looking forward to it.
Yeah, of course. Really I wouldn't care what we're doing so long as I'd get to spend some time with you but it's nice to know that we'll be doing something fun. Not that uh- hanging out with you is ever anything but.
[Awkward stumble there and Eren clears his throat. Stop looking so cute like that, Rui.]

[These are the times when Rui's most open, too.]
Um, Eren?
[video]
[Awkward stumble there and Eren clears his throat. Stop looking so cute like that, Rui.]
Okay. I'll let you know then.
[Eren blinks at his name and angles his head up.]
Yeah, Rui?
[video]
Thank you very much.
[video]
Huh? For what?
[video]
[video]
[video]
I like you, Eren.
[video]
oh..
this was
so much more different than having her agree to go on a date with him
oh god.
Eren didn't realize he was staring until his eyes began to sting from lack of blinking and his cheeks were fully red and God.]
I really, really want to fucking kiss you right now.
[A sheepish smile is flashed and he tries so hard not to topple over right there.]
But I- will save that for our date.
[video]
No! He's going to be just as frank!]
If you win the game and you're King, you can kiss me. But if I'm King, I'll kiss you.
[video]
[Like a win-win. Eren's mouth stretched into another smile.
He really can't recall the last time he's smiled this much.]
Yeah. I'd like that a lot.
