HOW I LOVE YOU

My love for you?

[There's a pause as he considers. What does his love for Lily feel like? After four long years of death, long walks, meltdowns, and bear facts...]

It's that feeling like...everything will be okay...so long as you're there.

Even when things aren't okay. You know?

[ Oh, him... ]

Mhmm, I agree with that.

You make me feel very safe.

["Safe".]

Yeah...maybe that's it.

[Eren doesn't like to admit that he's afraid; valuing something like safety almost feels like an admission, but she's right...]

You make me feel safe too. In your way.

That's good; I know I couldn't really beat anyone up for you or anything, but I'm glad I can still make you feel that way.

Eh...I'm really not worried about that sort of thing.

This type of safe is...different.

Like emotional safety maybe..?

[He shifts a little behind her, puts his arms around her middle, rests his chin on top of her head. A good squeeze.]

You're better at words than I am...
