Reibert

The question

Jean had a question, a very stupid question, but he was quite curious but he didn't want to sound rude or disrespectful. He always seen Reiner and Bertholdt together. Killing titans, when they sleep, when they are chatting with friends, training, just all the time! Jean really wanted to know if they are a thing. He wanted to be in their good book, but not only because they were both huge and high in the top ten list, but like because he didn't want to embarrass them. 

Two weeks after the 99th time, Bertholdt was curled up against Reiner.

"Looks like it's gonna be sunny today." Connie said. 

Jean dropped his nightshirt on his bed and approached the bunk shared by the two largest trainees, Bertholdt and Reiner. 

Berthold't head resting on Reiner's stomach, right hand clenching the fabric of Reiner's nightshirt. They both looked peaceful..it was even cute...they fit so perfectly together...

But of course, Eren had to burst his bubble by laughing, patting his shoulder. "That's a hundred! When are you going to ask the big question dude?"

"...Would you think it's and incision of privacy to make him ask something like that..?" Armin inquired. "May they are, but they aren't ready to tell others!"

"If they aren't ready to tell people, they can just say no, right? It's ultimately their choice whether to tell us or not." Eren said. 

Jean sighed. This was not how he planned to die. Whether it be from being beaten up or from embarrassment. 

Marco shook it head. "Jean, they won't beat you up...I'm sure Reiner considers you as a friend...Bertholdt is a good shy guy...almost like a baby bird...he doesn't like to hurt people."

:How do you know that...? About Bertholdt...?" Jean asked. 

"We talk sometimes" He replied, slipping his jacket on. "He's very anxious, it's why he doesn't like to talk to many people."

Connie nudged Jean in the ribs. "Reiner and Bertholdt are up."

"Dammit!" Jean groaned. "Why did I agree to do this...?"

Running a hand through his two-toned hair, he turned on his heel, approached the two boys who were in the process of getting dressed. 

"Uh...hey, Reiner..?"

Reiner turned to him with a friendly smile. "Hey Jean! What's up?"

"Uh, I wanted to ask you something.." Jean rubbed the back of his neck, he could see Eren watching out of the corner of his eye. "I...um...you totally don't have to answer this, but are you and Bertholdt....together...? Dating....?"

Bertholdt, who had just finished putting his boots on, had obviously heard to question as his head whipped around to look at them. His cheeks flushed with a bead of sweat rolling down his temple. Jean couldn't tell if they were wide out of fear...or even embarrassment. 

Reiner's face remained blank for a moment, before a grin split across his face and laughed. 

"Well duh!" He said, as if it were obvious. "Who wouldn't date this guy? He's a babe!" And that he threw an arm around Bertholdt's shoulders and brought the taller boy to his broad chest. The boys around them were laughing hysterically at the exuberance of the gesture, then turned back to getting dressed. 

Jean, feeling triumphant, turned to Eren and stuck his tongue out at him childishly. Eren returned to gesture wholeheartedly.
