[ Eren is aware Hijikata likes him, but he has no idea how much. It's probably better for both of them that way. Though they have a skewed view of each other. Eren has no idea what a dick Hijikata can be and Hijikata has no idea that Eren's problems are largely his own damn fault, or that he's the one who caused/will cause the world to nearly end in their own world. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
Eren isn't self-aware about things like being cheesy most of the time. Even when he is, he tends to just keep going anyway. Like now! He turns Hijikata's hand over in his, lacing their fingers together. He loves to do that with people he cares about, twine his fingers with theirs, as many points of contact as he can, like if he just holds on he could actually keep anyone safe and alive and here.
He knows better, but there's some lingering sentiment in the part of his heart the world didn't manage to break. ]
We don't have to yet.
[ Eren doesn't sleep too much anyway, thanks to nightmares and whatever weird shit just happens in his head all the time. He doesn't care if they don't get much sleep.
He looks from the sky to Hijikata's face. He's not the type to say stupid romantic shit (yet?) but Hijikata is handsome in the glow from the lights. He forgets not to stare too long. ]
