(this is what you get when you leave eren to man 20% of decorations!! there’s freedom everywhere!!)
all over the mochi residence, on a fine monday morning— movement happens to get elliot out of the house and these guys to work. gold and black balloons dangle from the ceilings with curly strings attached, costumes hang around by the door to choose from to get in the revolution mood, hamilton themed decorations, food, food, and more food— it’s a small party for a big deal.
fruit parfaits and bowls of vanilla spaghettieis are spread out for the quaint number of people to be there over the main table, all vibrantly jousting the gold and black theme. in the middle is pizza, hawaiian, kept warm to eat as they pleased, and even a cake later ready to light up with a 19 candle on it. and these things.
they were supposed to take him to concerts, but here’s the next best thing: bringing the concert to him 👏 mingle and put any gifts next to the food table at FREEDOM CORNER, and let us feast for elliot craig’s 19th birthday.

It's your special day, Elliot. [ Which means don't sweat it. ] We should get ready for the performance.
[ It's Time. ]
no subject
Huh? Performance?
no subject
[ akira
eren wasn’t ready
to say the least, eren was hoping this would be later and not now, like, the thought of this, despite being for elliot, already makes him nervous, giving akira a questioning look like what do you mean it’s time i need more time.
destroy him. ]
drop kicks in here
well
he was planning on getting a drink but then he hears Akira saying something about the performance and ?? ]
Oh, are we doing this now?
[ they're so gosh darn good at secrets, guys. ]
no subject
[ Using his phone, he plays a song that blares out of their bluetooth speakers. It's time.
And Eren has to start it off. Yes. This is payback for all thsoe times, but Akira is hiding it behind consideration for his friend. They're trying to make this a memorable birthday. ]
no subject
akira
. . . which is probably fair, eren just needs to get over his nerves. it’s not about singing in front of elliot, it’s about singing in front of everyone else. eren’s wars are bright red before he could even begin. ah god there goes the music. breathe. don’t crack your voice. pretend there’s no one else watching and just go with what they practiced!! ]
Theodosia writes me a letter every day
I'm keeping the bed warm while her husband is away
He's on the British side in Georgia
He's trying to keep the colonies in line
But he can keep all of Georgia
Theodosia, she's mine
[ DONT LOOK AT HIM HIS VOICE WAS MADE FOR METALCORE NOT BROADWAY BUT HE’S TRYING SO HARD ]
no subject
Elliot's jaw drops and his hand goes to cover his mouth. WHAT IS THIS-]
no subject
He also look like he about to string Akira up by his balls and hang him from the ceiling, but. Y'know. They can overlook this for the minute, right? Right. ]
Love don't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep lovin' anyway
We laugh and we cry and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm by her side
So many have tried
I'm willing to wait for it
Then, I'm willing to wait for it
[ As long as him singing doesn't make Elliot cry - which is an awkward thing that sure seems to happen. ]
no subject
It's hard to get out when you've fallen so deep, basically. ]
My grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher, preacher, preacher, preacher
But there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya, teach ya, teach ya, teach ya
My mother was a genius, genius, my father commanded respect, respect
When they died they left no instructions, just a legacy to protect
no subject
eren’s far less into the part of putting on a show, even if he was an oscar winner, but— he says the next few verses with heart. ]
Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints,
it takes and it takes and it takes
and we keep living anyway.
[ that’s as much as he’ll get into it— which is pretty deep to start. he signals for them all to sing at the same time as they near their half-mark. he’ll blend words with yusuke, and elliot if he decides to join. they’re doing this. they’re making this happen.]
no subject
Whenever they finish singing? He's completely giving them the loudest standing ovation a tiny music nerd can possibly muster. He's clapping his heart out, in other words]
Bravo, bravo! [SNIFFS] Oh my god, that was so beautiful...!!
no subject
That was rather exhilarating though - he can remember how powerful the song had been when he'd seen it live, and just how entranced and emotional Elliot had been seeing it alongside him, in person. Drawing a similar reaction from him like this, when it's just the three of them dressed up in funny clothes is... oddly sweet. And fills him with a sense of pride.
When they've finished singing, it leaves him with warm feeling. They did good, and that's exactly what they hoped. ]
I will take it that we didn't ruin the song for you, in that case? I'm glad.
no subject
Happy birthday, Elliot. I'm going to head to the kitchen.
[ And Escape from Eren. Quick, nimble, and every word in the dictionary, Akira disappears. Bye. ]
no subject
but eren is true to his word, always. ]
And I’m going after a traitor.
[ for five seconds, and he will return!! planting a kiss right onto elliot’s lips, eren turns to catch up to akira and probably stick some ice cream spaghettis down his neck. ]
no subject
But with Yusuke being the only one left, he'll turn his attention to him]
Haha, not at all! I think you'd have to have Leslie Odom himself show up to top your guys's performance.
[ESPECIALLY YOU YUSUKE. He puts his hand to his chest]
Really, thank you. I'm probably going to be saying that for the next week.
