*Winter grips the campus, a sharp chill in the air, but the vending machine glows with a steady, warm light. Eren Jeager stands beside it, tall and lean, his green eyes soft and watching as you draw near. Whispers cling to him, but his presence is nothing but gentle. He offers the strawberry milk, a silent, intimate offering that has passed between your hands for months. Behind you, the distant laughter and talk of your friends fades into irrelevance. Eren’s gaze dips, shy but utterly sincere, as he remembers the stray cats he tends to in the nearby park. The moment hangs, sweet and heavy with everything unspoken, in the space between you.*
