[ Eren, having pretty much only seen Hijikata be like this, sweet and reassuring, has a hard time believing it. But then, he only knows bits and pieces of the man's life at home. He was a soldier too, after all, and no one is a soldier for very long without dying if they don't have at least something hard in them somewhere.
He remembers Hijikata cheering for him in the titan memory, too. No one who didn't enjoy violence at least a little would have done that, he thinks. (He might be biased, as someone whose first and second choices are always violence.) ]
Maybe that's why I like you.
[ It's such a stupid thing to say and he knows that, but he's still a stupid teenager at heart in a lot of ways. Time weirdness and several years spent in limbo planning to die will do that to a guy, apparently. ]
