#it got the emotional beats (and it doesn't need to be a complex argument to point out the hypocrisy long as the listener aint brainwashed)

Can I get where Phobos offended his reader and came to apologize to him? (by you are beautiful ^^)
HHGHHGSH THANK YOU I LOVE Y*dies*
also OP you sent in another ask and I saw it but tumblr crashed and it deleted the ask :( it was something with phobos and sheriff, if you could send the ask a second time ill do it! Otherwise, enjoy this :) !!!
Reluctant Apology
Phobos knew many things. He knew how to construct a bomb from the simplest things, how to sharpen knives with sticks, and even could read sheet music even if it was old, battered, and torn up.
Alas, of all things, he didn't know how to apologize.
-
A few short days ago, you two got into an argument over something stupid. He couldn't recall it now if he tried. All he remembered was he said something and your face contorted into genuine hurt and anger, then you stormed off after slamming your fist on the kitchen table you were sitting at.
You two ignored each other for the next day. He didn't think of it much. Just another stupid, silly thing he doesn't need to worry about.
But... as the days grew on, and you didn't even glance his direction when you came out of your room for food or to go to the bathroom, he got a little antsy.
"Did I really hurt them that badly? I said something that truly affected them?"
He was sitting at the very place you last spoke to each other, the kitchen table- when he heard your door open.
He immediately got up, and nearly ran into you with how fast he was going.
You avoided his stare and tried to walk around him. He kept blocking your way. He softly said your name.
"...Can we talk about this?"
You stopped in your tracks. You still didn't meet his gaze just yet.
He sighed, the majority of his brain wanting to tell you off about how you're acting so petty over what happened, but he knew he had to something else.
He had to apologize.
-
Alas, of all things, he didn't know how to apologize.
He attempted to grab your hand. You yanked it away. He would've flinched at that, but he was expecting it. Phobos hesitated, searching his brain for kinder words.
"Look, I don't like us not talking. Could we please... could we please talk about this?"
His heart did a hurtful pang when you forcefully pushed past him.
Then it skipped a beat when he heard the scraping of the table's chairs on the floor.
He turned around hopefully, and his eye landed on you impatiently tapping your foot, glaring intensely at him.
"Go on," were the first words you've said in five days to Phobos. It was the bare minimum, and you said them in such a cold tone, but he melted at finally hearing your wonderful voice again.
He was so engrossed with your voice that he had to be forcefully snapped out of his thoughts by you harshly clearing your throat.
"I- ah, hm..." He began with a confused tone, trying to push through his oversized ball of pride. It almost pained him to do so.
You raised an eyebrow, and he hung his head shamefully.
"...I'm sorry."
He said it so meekly, you almost felt bad for him. Almost.
You tilted your ear closer to him, "Repeat that? Sorry, my hearing is bad today."
He scowled in response, "You can hear perfect-"
"Say it again!"
"Okay, I'm sorry!"
You could just about cut the air with a knife, there was that much tension between you two.
He broke the silence, groaning.
"Look, beloved, I don't even REMEMBER what I said to upset you, and I didn't even know you would react this harshly to it!"
"You said I wished I was as good as you, and then spit at me, dumbass."
He took a second, as the memories of him doing just that popped up into his head. "Oh."
"Yeah. Your god complex isn't looking that hot."
Guilt smacked Phobos like a tidal wave. He cautiously, slowly approached you. When you didn't snap at him, he reached out and gently caressed your face.
Your expression of anger faded when he repeated the same words he said earlier, this time, genuine emotion behind it.
"I'm sorry."
You smiled.

Hi I love your tumblr account , I have a headcanon request please for characters Erwin Levi Eren Connie Hanjie.. it is what would they do if they knew their dating partner was doing drugs behind closed doors. Would this be frond apon or accepted in the military that they are in. I am so sorry for my broken english I am from Brazil. If this doesn't make sense I can re write it also I understand if you're uncomfortable to do this request. Thank you a lot
thank you! your english was great, thanks for sending in! i hope this is what you were looking for, i have experience with  warning for drug abuse mentions
Erwin:
If Erwin were to find out, he’d be shocked to say the least. How did he not know his s/o was under the influence? He wouldn’t show it, but he’d honestly be distraught, especially if it was a serious issue that had been going on for a long time.
Information like this is confidential. Erwin is not going to tell anyone, at least no one that doesn’t need to know. 
He’s going to want to get them help. First things first. He cares deeply about them, and unfortunately, since he’s the commander, it would be incredibly unprofessional and irresponsible of him to not get them help. And that would mean having them suspended from duty.
In the end, Erwin would make sure they get the help they need. Realistically, Erwin might even break things off, at least until they can get clean. It wouldn’t need to be discussed, as it’s probably not the most important thing to worry about in this situation, but Erwin would only do so so that they could focus on getting themselves picked up. There’s a lot of complex emotions and consequences that affect the two of them from a situation like this.
Levi:
Levi’s seen plenty of drug abuse in the Underground, unfortunately. He’s closer with it than he’d like to admit, not personally, but with how much he’s experienced with seeing. 
I feel like because of this, Levi’s probably able to detect it sooner than the others. Depending on what his s/o is using, there are different ways he can detect what’s going on.
Levi’s first reaction is ultimately disappointment. Sad disappointment. 
He’s not going to tell anyone that they know. It is no one’s business, and he won’t even give the implication that something’s going on. He will get the connections himself to get them help if it’s that far, otherwise he’ll help them get clean however he can. 
When it comes to expeditions, Levi will keep an eye on them. If they weren’t in his squad, they are now. This change is purely for the purpose of making sure they don’t go through any sort of withdrawal symptoms on a mission or falling out from using or not using. He will cover it with the fact that they are a skilled soldier, and Erwin will probably be alright with it because Levi is a good judge of character, along with not being bias towards his s/o.
Eren:
As soon as he finds out, he’s just mad at himself for not knowing. He can’t help but feel like he never really knew his s/o at all, and it’ll be a feeling that deep roots down in his heart for a while after this, recovery or not.
Eren, being a hothead, would probably cause an argument over it, which isn’t the right approach, but his emotions always take control of his logic. He definitely cries, in his own space, away from his s/o. 
He’s way too unexperienced to know what to do in a situation like this, so Eren would probably want to talk to a trusted superior. Captain Levi or even Hanji. He’s not sure how they’d react, nor does he want to think about the possible outcomes, but he’s too nervous and scared for his s/o, so he’d want to get someone who could help. For his s/o’s sake. Whatever happens at that point is in the hands of his superiors.
Whether or not they can continue to be a couple after this really depends on if they can get clean or not. Eren would want to be there for him but that’s a lot of stress on a person. He’d feel awful about it, but he’s only human, so he’s got his doubts.
Since Eren’s typically in the spotlight, I feel it might be a little tough to hide something like this, especially if his s/o is well known amongst his corps. He’s not a gossip, and he certainly doesn’t approve of them, so one can imagine Eren got into many fist fights about his s/o’s habits. 
Connie:
Connie is the most upset. He doesn’t know what to do or say because he can’t imagine why his s/o would want to start getting into habits like this, or how he couldn’t see it. He feels so stupid, and it definitely beats on his self-esteem, since everyone thinks he’s clueless already. 
Like Eren, Connie doesn’t know what to do. He wants to tell someone but he doesn’t know if he should, or who. At first, he plans not to, but Connie struggles with keeping secrets that weigh that heavily on him, so he’d probably let it slip during a quiet moment with the closer members of the 104th. It’s a feeling of hopelessness that drove him to want help, for the both of them.
Connie would want to stay with them, so he’d really try. And it could totally work out. If they end up being taken out of the scouts, he’d visit wherever they are as frequently as he can, as well as write letters. He’d definitely apologize a lot. 
He’s not going to fight anyone that has anything to say. Like mentioned previously, this takes a big beating on Connie, so he just doesn’t have the emotional capacity to fight. That said, the 104th would definitely step in to his and his s/o’s aid.
Hanji:
Aside from Levi, I also feel Hanji could detect at least a little bit about her s/o’s situation. In fact, different from the others, I believe Hanji is more likely to confront her s/o rather than somehow find out.
She can handle this situation. Hanji is smart and logical. She takes care to make sure no one outside of her and possibly the other veterans know, and she’s very smart in how she communicates it. 
Hanji’s s/o would have to leave the scouts to recover. Before Erwin would even make the call, Hanji discussed it with her s/o. It was definitely a problem, and Hanji doesn’t have what is needed to help her s/o. They need someone professionally trained.
The best choice to Hanji is leaving the relationship to simply be supportive friends of each other. This is a situation that needs to be looked at from outside the romantic relationship bubble, and whether or not they get back together afterwards is to be determined. But for now, Hanji’s decided it’s best to support her former s/o in that way.
