Chapter twelve

You have just finished your work for today and wanted to quickly grab a change of clothes before treating yourself to a dinner in the local cafeteria. Locking the door of your office, you took out the sticker with notice about your later arrival. You were about to tear it to pieces, when you had noticed something written on the other side.

Been looking for you.

Meet me at the cafeteria, 8:00 PM.

P.

Porco was trying to find you, when you were outside, eating the pastries with Reiner.

You decided to meet with him later. It has been less than a day and you have already missed his handsome face close to yours, his fiery kiss, his hot breath on your body... The thoughts of him made your panties instantly wet. You rubbed your thighs together, chewing on your lower lip and placing the note in your pocket.

You walked towards your room, when you suddenly heard some voices. As a child you were raised not to eavesdrop on other people's conversations but this time it was different, this voice was familiar.  You felt a strong urge to stop and listen for a moment. It was not all clear, but you had only heard parts of the conversation.

"No...don't...stop...what... Please...Pieck!" It was Porco's voice. What was he doing there with Pieck? Why was he here? This was the women's part of the dorms.

The worst scenarios appeared in your head, at which you felt a sharp pang in your chest. Was Porco visiting another girls? A wave of mixed emotions washed over you, making you feel vexed and tense. You came closer to the door and placed your ear against the door.

"Porco, just do me the favour..."

Wait, what favour exactly? Your curiosity and outrage made you place your trembling hand on the handle.

'[Y/n], you damned fool! Why did you start this thing with him?', you were asking yourself. Porco was evidently a player, the worst type, that makes a girl fall hard for him and when he is bored, the next day he finds another one to play around with. Tears began welling up in your eyes and they stung, as you held onto the handle harshly, unable to make a move. You were ready for this, [Y/n], you're not going to let this bring you down! You're going to see this through.

A loud noise could be heard, followed by footsteps, that were approaching the door you were holding onto. The shock of the door being flung open, made you jump back. With your eyes wide open and a hand over your heart, in a futile attempt to calm your racing heartbeat.

Porco was standing in the door, one hand still on the handle, completely flabbergasted at the sight of you in front of him. He could see the tears shine in your eyes. It hurt him, seeing you like this. "[Y/n]..."

"I'm sorry", you managed to say in a weak strangled voice, right after you turned around and ran away as fast as you could, your face twisted in immense pain lingering inside of your heart. You were sobbing loudly and kept running along the narrow corridor, as far as you could. Unable to see properly, you opened the door, only to get outside, colliding with someone's chest.

Reiner was coming back from the dinner with his family, it was already dark outside, only lamps emitted dim light in the darkness. He was about to walk up the stairs and head towards the main entrance, when you ran into him, looking to be in severe distress.

He caught you, before you could fall to the ground from the collision. He held you tight to him, you were so cold and shaking with...fear? Pain? Whatever happened to make you feel this way?

"Hey, hey, it is alright. You are all right."

You looked up at him, face stained with tears, you looked so frail like a flower trembling in the wind. Sobbing violently, you spoke in a weak voice "Rei...Reiner", after that you hugged him strongly, burying your face into his strong chest, tears flowing like an ocean.

Reiner did not ask questions. He just held you against him, caressing your back with his palm. Whoever made you feel this way, he was going to make them pay. They made you cry like this, made you hurt in an inexcusable manner. The girl, who was laughing with him happily earlier this afternoon, her joyful smile, now all gone, replaced by an excruciating amount of pain...

Your tears were staining Reiner's coat, they would not stop from streaming down your cheeks. Wailing loudly, you were unable to control your overflowing emotions. Your eyes were burning, your heart was breaking.

With Reiner's hand gently caressing your back, you began to calm down, small sniffles still escaping you. But despite your cries subsiding, the pain remained there and it was so much stronger than anything you had ever felt before. Never in your life had you imagined it would be so bad, that you could suffer this much.

You could not lose Porco. For all this pain you had felt inside, you came to realize, that you were in love with him and he has hurt you right at the start. Perhaps it was for the best, because it would hurt even more, had it happened later.

"[Y/n]...please," Reiner pleaded, "when you can, tell me who did this to you, will you?"

You looked up at Reiner, your hands still clinging onto his coat, now wet by your tear-falling. His face was shadowed with concern, eyebrows furrowed and lips forming a thin line. Your [e/c] eyes were red and puffy, glistening with fresh tears that were still threatening to form up again. He hated seeing you like this.

"Reiner...I-I can't...", you managed to choke out. There was no way you could admit it to him. You did not want them to fight because of you.

"[Y/n]", Reiner's voice had more serious tone to it now. "You have got to tell me. They will pay for this, whoever it is."

More tears feel down your cheeks, they were making few loose strands of your hair wet. Reiner gently swept the hair away from your face and wiped the fresh tears from your cheeks with his handkerchief. The simple gesture made you even more emotional, at this point you felt so vulnerable.

"Shh, please, no more cry. You are fine now, I am here", Reiner caressed your hair and brought your head to rest against his chest. You nuzzled your cheek into him. There was a battle of emotions inside of you, you struggled to accept the harsh truth and it was proving to be impossible at this moment. Your heart was beating fast, it was not easy to breathe, with your chest heavy with dull pain. Anger was slowly settling down inside of your soul.

'Dad, why did you bring me here?'
