IV. TELL ME PRETTY LITTLE LIES. ( the unfortunate tales of your first luv! ) ❟ ❥ 🎋⤦ CHAMBER OF REFLECTION, mac demarco. ++ angst up ahead !
You weren't in the best mental state in high-school, constantly worried about your parent's ideals than to barely care about yourself. A mess, barely any friends or parties during those days. Not until the infamous schoolbook switch-up that left you to meeting the blonde boy before you. Reiner Braun himself.
He was charming, sweet; someone who held doors open for people and helped them out with carrying heavy things. Sure, he wasn't so innocent himself and threw in the occasional teasing once in a while, but he had a big heart. He still did. You remember him playing as the linebacker of your football team, well-liked and could always keep the crowd on his feet when he was on the field, his smile vivid in your memories.
"Yeah, help would be great." Your voice nearly came out shaky before quickly getting back up to brush down at your sweatpants, allowing him to have full-access of the snack machine. But why were you reminiscing on last night? Nodding, he rested both palms against the top of the machine and shook the bag of candy out almost effortlessly before pushing open the flap to toss you your desired candy.
"Were you looking for Sasha or something?" The blonde mused, sheepishly rubbing at his nape before his hues lifted to meet yours. "The last time I saw her, she was running down my corridor with a bag in her hand. I thought it was kinda funny." He pulled out a dollar himself, punching in some numbers to pull out a Hersheys bar for himself, turning back to grace you a small smile.
Your cheeks flushed warm at the sight before tearing into your own bag of candy with furrowed brows, looking away. You weren't simply going to settle with just candy, making a mental reminder to grab some food in a little bit, resting back against the wall with candy in between your lips. Why did it feel wrong that you were talking to him so casually?
"No, she ditched me after I got her the cupcake thing she needed. I think she loves food way more than I do." the content sigh left your lips at the sweets, not disclosing that she was running around with edibles to make others worry about her well-being. "What are you doing here though? I never really see you down here unless I'm planning a party."
The flush across Reiner's cheeks made your heart almost ache, watching him open his bar of chocolate before popping a piece into his mouth. You remembered his love for chocolate and sweets just as if it were yesterday, despite him trying to get in shape during his sports days. It wasn't your first love without the empty bags of Hershey kisses. But the kisses you received from him then were way sweeter than any refined chocolate.
