[Hijikata unquestioningly accepts Eren's words, not even registering them as overly bold, because he, too, is merely floundering through the perpetually unfamiliar landscape of romance and will say the damndest things without a second thought.
I'll remember that.
[And yet he won't act on it in so many situations, mostly when other people are around. It's not that he's ashamed of liking Eren, not at all... he just feels like things might get terribly awkward if people who know both of them were to learn of it. (Jean would be so unimpressed. Levi would surely judge the hell out of him - what for, he couldn't even pinpoint, but he still feels like he would. How would Reiner feel?)
He puts those thoughts aside for now. Out here, tonight, it's only them and the northern lights, so he follows his feelings and kisses Eren again, one hand in his hair, the other sliding around his waist and up to his chest so he can place it over his heart and feel its beat. The tingle of energy they both get from every touch amplifies each sensation, and looking into Eren's eyes feels like seeing a whole other universe, what with those colours reflected in them. I'm glad I met you.]
