Maruki doesn't doubt that. Eren told him he loved him after they'd only known one another for a couple months; I don't want you to understand. I love you too much.
No matter how he means that word, it's always been true. And if they were meant to meet one another here, then didn't they already love each other, even before they knew it?
Maruki's hands find Eren's, drawing them together so he can hold them tightly. ]
I'm so happy I get to see you again like this, Eren. Lately, these days...
[ Will Eren believe this? Surely not. ]
You smile so much around me. You seem so much younger and freer. I see you all the time in the man you become.
[Will Eren believe this? Surely not. It shows on his face, a skeptical look, almost as if he's waiting for some sick punchline, but Maruki wouldn't joke about this...
[Eren is pulled into Maruki. He cries. He's always crying. He can't remember the last time he smiled, and when Maruki says that happiness is waiting for him, all he can think is that he doesn't even want it anymore.
[He clutches his friend and sobs.]
What does this mean? We have to say goodbye now?
god this is gonna be the most miserable wrap sorry
[ Soft, but filled with conviction. Maruki shakes his head, tipping his chin down to bury his face atop Eren's hair, hugging him closer, tighter, longer– forever, if he can help it. ]
We don't have to say goodbye any time soon. We can stay here for as long as we want.

[He shakes his head.]
That's... That doesn't make any sense.
[Freer? Here?
[He squeezes Maruki's hands, anxious.]
That's wrong.

I don't think it makes sense to you in the future, either. But that doesn't mean it isn't true.

[It brings tears to his eyes, jealous and angry, even as he matches Maruki's breathing. His hands still grip his friend's, tight.]
That's not fair. After all he's done... How could he ever let himself be happy again?
EVIL ICON CHOICE
[ A soft reassurance as Maruki tugs on his hands, pulling him closer, beginning to envelope him in a hug. ]
You'll see when you get there. That happiness is waiting for you, too.
