Today had been full of surprises, a sudden snow storm kicked off in the midst of working hours. During the stressful exam everyone watched and listened to the violent wind hurling hails of ice. You were truly unsure as to how you were to survive this evening.

By the time lunch break had been announced, the sky had already darkened, mirroring a time strictly witnessed only during midnight.
Not only was the weather gloomy, everyone was told to stay inside, due to the sudden warnings that came in through the news.

This meant that you were to have your lunch break inside, with the class you were stuck in. Sadly, Reiner was not listed in these temporary exam groups. You had his coat, washed and dried with a perfumed note buried in the chest pocket for the entire day now.

"That was the easiest thing! Ever!" Jean boasted at the conjoined table. "All those damn useless teachers were too busy gossiping to notice what I was doing! Ha!"

Eren rolled his eyes at him, slamming down his carton of banana milk with a death glare darting towards Jean. "They're still here, you know." His hooded green eyes gestured towards the lunch table the adults gathered around, presumably gossiping, even now.

"They're too busy talking about their failing marriages to care."

"Whatever. Your fat mouth is going to bait everyone out. So shut it already."

Before Jean could snap back at the brunette, you quickly interrupted. "Guys... where's Reiner?- Everyone else?! Why aren't they in the lunch hall?!"

The two boys peered towards you with smug looks, "Our class is connected to the lunch hall, their's wasn't, smarty pants." Jean added onto Eren's snarky remark, frustrating you even more.

Would you even be able to get home? Let alone find Reiner to give him what you desperately prepared te night before. Your mother had surprised you when you got home, a coat nicely wrapped in a gift bag, a way of apologising for throwing away the last one without asking.

The entire night you wondered how Reiner was doing, if he was okay, if he went home freezing-?!
Although he had left you a text, asking if you got home safe, you couldn't help but worry. Since after sending a text back, he hadn't read it. Not even in the dark and cold morning of today.

Even though you barely had anything to eat, you left back to finish off the last exam for today. Completing all answers with the knowledge you religiously memorised last night.

Like you predicted, you were the first to finish, along with Eren and Jean, the only people you knew well enough in the group assigned to this class. Jean shot you a knowing smirk after he audibly dropped his pen, probably pissing Eren off, whom glared daggers at the back of Jean's head.

The scribbling of pens waltzing on hard paper faded away from your mind, taking you back to yesterdays afternoon at the bus stop. Perhaps he didn't want to be kissed? Was it a step too far?
Maybe you were right, there was nothing wrong, he just didn't like you the way you did.

By the time class was dismissed, everything had calmed down, with the occasional wind, everyone was allowed to leave and was reassured they'd be okay as long as they get back home fast enough.

You hadn't wasted a second, sprinting to the front gates to search for a tall blonde. Instead, discovering his lanky friend. "Bert!"

The giant of a boy lowered his chin towards you, a soft smile decorating his features. "Y/n! Hey, did you do well?"

"Yeah!! Those answer sheets were the exact same ones, in the exact same order! You're seriously our saviour." You praised jokingly, "I don't know what my parents would have done if I flopped the exams."
