 I don't get it... 

Do you really think this is a good idea?

[schild]

Hm? [ Reiner's not............. not sure he heard that right. Can't be, right? He would've noticed if-- ]

Come again? Sorry Bertl, but can you repeat that? I didn't catch it.

[toobig]

[You know how in the cartoons we've never seen steam shoots out of their ears when they're angry or embarrassed?]

[Yea....h]

I like.... you.. Reiner....

1/2 give him a second

[schild]

[ Omg Bertl you---

did he.......

HE SAID THE THING. ]

2/2

[schild]

[ UH WOW WHOOPS LOOKS LIKE REINER IS GONNA PULL YOU EVEN CLOSER NOW, BERT. even if you're all sweaty and gross, reiner's never cared. CAUSE NOW REINER'S BLUSHIGN TOO. ]

R-really?

the...se...two....

[toobig]

[He's... really surprised when Reiner pulls him close, almost surprised enough that all the tension leaves him and he stops steaming, just for a little while.]

[After a long moment, he nods.]

Yeah.

I have no blushing icons this is a tragedy

[schild]

[ Reiner turns deep, deep red, leaning his forehead into Bertolt's. ]

Wow, uh...

[ Still really red. How did he not see this coming, we just don't know. But it's... nice. Really nice. ]

i have too many haha

[toobig]

[He meets his gaze for a couple of seconds before looking down again, not able to look into those confused eyes... Of course... this Reiner was straight, this Reiner liked Christa....]

[Bertholdt's lips turn down into a sad frown and he tries to pull back.]

Don't... worry about it. I'll... get over it, I guess.

[No he won't.]

bertl was made to blush

[schild]

You idiot. [ Reiner leans back in, sealing his lips over Bertholdt's. ] You caught me by surprise is all.

[ He really did think you liked Annie, Bert. Because it seemed so much more likely than you liking him. ]

it's that overheating issue 1/2

[toobig]

2/2

[toobig]

[He kisses him back after a moment, feeling like his skin's going to burst open (not in the way it was meant to, anyway,) he's so hot, lanky arms sliding around Reiner's thick waist.]

I don't... take charge very often, I guess.

I couldn't lie, though...

[schild]

Yeah, don't worry about it. It's not like I'm expecting you to. [ Reiner sets his hand behind Bertholdt's neck, holding him close. ]

I'm glad you didn't, though.

[toobig]

[He shivers a little at the touch to his neck, dipping his head down to rest on Reiner's shoulder.]

[What a relief. Reiner... couldn't be that invested in one of the others. It wouldn't make sense. This made sense...]

Reiner I'm ...happy.

[schild]

Me too. [ Reiner holds Bertholdt close, wrapping him into a hug. Bertl's the one who's always been there; the one he promised everything to. The one who followed him even when Reiner threw them off the plan. Reiner never thought he'd-- ] Man, I'm such an idiot, I always thought, like... I never saw it coming...

[ That's cause you're really blind, Reiner. ]

[toobig]

That's okay. It's okay, Reiner....

[He really was happy. His whole body felt so warm, pleasantly warm for once, and Reiner's arms made him feel so secure. He was giddy, feeling a shiver go through him as he trembled in delight.]

As long as you want me too, I'm happy.

[schild]

Of course I do! Hell, who's more important to me than you, Bertl? [ Reiner all but smothers Bertholdt with his embrace. He knows he's messed up, and he knows he's been confused, but the whole time Bertholdt's been there for him. It makes sense now. ] I'm just sorry I didn't notice sooner....

[toobig]

That doesn't matter... You know now, so...

[s..w..e..a..t..s]

[Wow he's smiling, resting his chin against his shoulder as he dips his head down to rest against him.]

I'll help fix you, don't worry.

[schild]

I'm... [ Naw man you can't deny it you are broken as hell, Reiner. ] ...gonna need your help.

[toobig]

Anything you need, Reiner...

[Touching his face because wow he still can't believe this is real and sweating and wow.]

You'll get better....

[schild]

I want to. [ Reiner closes his eyes, resting his head on Bertholdt's. HE'S HONESTLY... kinda relieved? Like wow, he couldn't have imagined this but what could be better?? ] I never meant for all this to happen, Bertl.

[toobig]

I figured... it's fine... and... I'll do my best...

[He lacks a commanding spirit, that's Reiner's job, but... he'll do whatever it takes.]

[schild]

I'm counting on you, I... [ Ah, Reiner shakes a bit, squeezing Bertl even closer. ] I never did that before, did I? I never asked you how you felt...

[toobig]

That's fine... everything is fine...

[He's smiling again, even as he shivers in his arms, clinging to him like Reiner will disappear again.]

That doesn't... matter. No matter what I'll... follow you, Reiner. So...

Just ask.

[schild]

Okay. I'll start now, Bertl. I want to hear you out from now on. [ Reiner leans back, just so he can wrench his arms back around, adjust his grip at the back of Bertholdt's neck. ] You mind if I kiss you?

[toobig]

You'll... listen?

[There's a pause as he tilts his head down at him. It's a little awkward since he's not so much taller he has to stoop, but he still has to crane his neck. Stupid gangling body...]

I really... want that.

[schild]

I know talking isn't really your thing, but... [ Reiner tilts his neck back, easing the angle for Bertholdt's lips to meet his own. How many times has he dreamed this? How many times has he told himself Bertl would never see him like that? ] I wanna know... what else I never paid attention to, when I should have.
