 I don't get it... 

Do you really think this is a good idea?

[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.

[toobig]

[He's not sure why he's blushing, more than usual, but he manages to meet Reiner's gaze as he talks. He's right, Bertholdt's no good at words and making himself clear, but... If Reiner told him to talk, he would do it. He'd tell him anything, as long as he was asked.]

[And then Reiner's kissing him, something he's wanted for a long time, and his hands tighten in the fabric of Reiner's shirt, his long limbs trembling just a little. He kisses him back, until Reiner pulls away, and he smiles down at him.]

What... do you want to know?

[schild]

I dunno. How you feel about me? Stuff that worries you? [ That's the kind of things boyfriends do, right? Reiner looks up, mouthing at Bertholdt's jaw. ] Whatever you want.

[toobig]

[He shuffles his feet a little, feeling awkward all of a sudden. He doesn't like being the center of attention, even if it's Reiner's attention... Bertholdt wants him to love him and care about him but Reiner's the one who should be on the pedestal.......]

You're... my best friend. I... would do anything for you, Reiner... I ...want to be with you.

[schild]

Okay. I can do that. [ Reiner pulls Bertholdt into another fierce hug, pressing his face into the crook of Bertl's neck. ] I'll always stay with you.

[toobig]

[He clings to him a bit tighter, and rests his cheek against the other's blond hair.]

Just... the two of us. So we'll be... happy.

[schild]

Yeah. Like it should've been from the start. [ Reiner breathes in, closing his eyes and just taking Bertholdt in. The steadiest thing-- the simplest thing. It's always been Bertholdt. ]

[toobig]

Right. Just... you and me, Reiner.

[That's all he wants. He knows he can't have you all to himself, as much as he wants that, but he can't let you slip away. If Reiner's going to be emotionally compromised, Bertholdt is going to be the reason, not a bunch of... worthless humans.]

What now?

[Their relationship would never change. Reiner leads, always. Bertholdt's one hell of a lapdog.]

[schild]

Now we... stick to the plan, I guess. Don't let anything get in our way.

[toobig]

Right. We'll make it work, even if Annie's compromised.

[schild]

Yeah... There's no way we could make it to the interior to rescue her, huh.

Knowing her though, she probably has some kind of plan. [ He hopes. ]

[toobig]

I hope she has. But... we can't wait around for her forever. She's still crystallized... she'll be there when we get that far, probably.

[schild]

Yeah, let's hope so. She's not the type to wait and get rescued, but until then, we'll just have to trust her.

[toobig]

She'll manage something, she always does. We'll.. get to the Interior eventually. We'll save her if she's still there.

[schild]

Yeah. She'll be fine.

[ You guys are TERRIBLE. ]

[toobig]

[They're REALISTIC.]

She'll beat us up though..... for not getting there sooner.....

[schild]

If we're lucky. I get the feeling she'll do more than that...

[ Hold on to your necks, boys... ]

[toobig]

We're... gonna die... huh?

[schild]

Yeah maybe we should leave her in the crystal................

[toobig]

Yeah.... Just... carry her back in it or something...
