AoT Oneshots and Lemons

Bertholdt x Reader

I watched as the giant took a seat between the two blondes. He kept his eyes on his tray as he ate quietly. Every time someone were to ask him a question beads of sweat would drip down his forehead.

I always wondered how he was so fit, and remained that way, but now I know it was probably because he sweats so much. If anything you think he would run out of sweat, but so far that hasn't happened yet. Key word. Yet. (almost put YEET)

I would be lying if I said I didn't have a teensy, weensy, crush on him. But I'd be lying if I said it was teensy, weensy though.

Although he was nervous all the time, and sweaty, I didn't mind one bit. Once he got used to you he sweat a lot less, and was actually really friendly. He was also sweet, and very mindful of words, phrases, or actions that seemed to trigger you. If anything, he was different from all the other boys.

Most of the boys here were sex freaks, and since no girls would put out, it only would get worse. But Bertholdt was different. He didn't care about sexual things, and didn't flirt with everything that moved. *cough cough* Jean *cough cough*.

I was brought out of my thoughts as a hand waved in front of my face.

"Earth to (Y/n). Are you there?"

I swat the hand away I turn my attention to Eren who sat beside me. Everyone was now staring at me, taking all of their attentions away from Bertholdt.

"You know it's rude to shout in someones ear." I say to Eren. He bursted out laughing before getting scolded by Mikasa.

I sigh, and push a loose strand of my (h/l) (h/c) hair behind my ear as I glance around the table. Everyone else was continuing their conversations except Bertholdt who was staring at me.

I waved a bit, and his face lit up red. Quickly, he looked away as beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.

A small smile crept its way onto my face as I look away from him.

My heart felt like it was gonna beat it's way out of my rib cage.

My stomach felt like it was tying in knots.

Blood rushed through my veins quickly.

Maybe I'll ask him out.

It was after lunch that all of the cadets were ordered to stand in a line. Corporal Levi walked up and down giving whatever speech Erwin ordered him to give.

Like usual, I tuned him out.

I was then snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him shouting my name. "(Y/N) (L/N) and Bertholdt Hoover are partners!"

Levi then continued shouting other names, but I was too busy looking at Bertholdt. Of course we talked a couple times, but we never really got to know each other.

With a nervous smile, he walked over to me and stared down.

"We should find a spot to train before we get yelled at." He said in a soft nervous voice.

I couldn't help the way my heart fluttered at that.

"Yeah. You're right."

We walked over to a spot a bit away from the other groups, and got in training position.

We taught each other some new moves, and even joked around a bit.

Outside it was just about pitch black. Other than the lights in the distance, and the moon. I sat atop a small hill, staring off at the village of people who lived behind the walls.

Even though they smiled, you could sense the fear that radiated of them.

No one knows how the titans came to be, and most didn't care. All everyone wanted was for them to die.

I knew that one day all the humans would be dead, and the titans would most likely be the cause. And knowing that only gave me more of a reason to tell Bertholdt about my feelings for him.

In fact. Telling him made me more nervous, and queasy than when fighting titans.

I knew he wouldn't tell anyone, so no one would know except me and him, but telling him would mean ruining our friendship. And I couldn't do that.

But like fighting titans, there are risks, and there's a huge chance I'll die. So my best bet would be to tell him soon.

A crunch of leafs brings me out of my thoughts. I quickly look behind me expecting Corporal Levi or Commander Erwin, but behind me was Bertholdt.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He says right away as he looks down nervously.

I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.
"It's okay. Just didn't expect to see you." I say.

He walks over, and sits beside me quietly. "So what at you doing out here?" He asked.

"Just needed some time to clear my mind." I say while glancing at him, and he hums in response.

We sit in silence for a while before I decided to speak up.

"There's something I need to tell you...and it's important." I force out as I turn to face him.

Bertholdt turns his attention to me, and furrows his eyebrows confused, and slightly nervous.
"What is it?"

I take a deep breath, and spit it out because it's now or never.
"I like you, like more than a friend, and I have for a while. Like since we first met. I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship."

My eyes are now closed tightly, as I wait for the words of rejection to leave his mouth.

"I-...I didn't know you felt the same way." He said softly.

I open my eyes, and look at his face. For once he doesn't look nervous, but happy.

I smile, and laugh a little.
"So what now?"

"We can date." He said.
"Yeah. Date." I say trying to hide my excitement.

Slowly and happily, we both lean forward and kiss softly.

It's a bit awkward, but I don't mind. I'm kissing the person I love, and that's all that matters."
