Roommates

Awkward Situations

Awkward situations happen more often than not in this household. Especially if you have four guys living under one roof. I know, I know. They're guys, how awkward can it get? Well, you'd be surprised.

Reiner and Bertholdt have been together since high school when Reiner had dislocated Berholdt's shoulder during football practice. He had felt so bad that he followed the boy around like a lost puppy and offered to carry all his stuff for him till he could take the sling off his arm. This didn't really bother Bertholdt at first as he quite liked having the larger (muscle wise) boy around. Even after Bertholdt's arm was all better and he was able to rejoin their high school football team, Reiner didn't cease in his actions. He still followed Bertholdt wherever he went and carried his books for him until people just assumed they were together. After their football team won a nearly hopeless game, Reiner had picked Bertholdt up and, in the heat of the moment, kissed him smack dab on the lips in front of everyone. Without it becoming officially said, they just went with the flow and began dating.

Now Marco and Jean are a whole 'nother story. They met in kindergarten when Jean accidentally got glue in Marco's hair. How? No one remembers. Marco had to go home and when he came back, his hair was a lot shorter than it used to be. Jean had felt guilty and made him a card to apologize. The two had been best friends ever since. Come middle school, Marco and Jean discovered the world of girls. A few openly approached Marco which urked Jean to no end, but he had no reason why it bothered him so much. In high school, Jean tended to fight, and fuck, a lot. He typically fought with Eren Yeager, whom he had a frenemy relationship with, and he fucked with whatever girl he had on his arm that week. Jean, despite his jealousy over girls attaching to Marco, would sleep around and never technically had a girlfriend. One time, when Marco was supposed to meet Jean at his house to help him study, he had found a girl leaving and Jean waving goodbye from his open door. Need I say that that had led to their first and biggest fight ever. Everyone knew something had happened between them, as they avoided each other for a good two weeks. They finally made up when good friends of theirs, Mikasa and Armin, locked them in the janitor's closet during lunch. No one knows what happened in that closet, but Jean and Marco left it holding hands and kissing.

Now, Bertholdt and Marco were pretty good friends since they shared a lot of the same classes and Jean knew Bertholdt and Reiner from being on the school football team with them. They all never actually hung out until Bertholdt and Marco made them attend a small study group with them. After this, they began hanging out a lot more often and they all even attended the same college. For different majors of course. The college they attended together was Trost U, which was a kind of jack of all trades type of college. They had virtually any major you could want there which was why it was so popular. Bertholdt had majored in culinary arts, Marco in law, Reiner in psychology ironically and Jean majored in veterinary. They still hung out as often as they could and attended frat parties together and all that.

Sometime after college, Bertholdt came up with the idea that they all room together in this nice uptown apartment that he had found. He claimed it was really nice, but too expensive for just him and Reiner to afford so he asked them if they'd want to live with them and split the bills. It didn't take much convincing for Jean and Marco to agree to be Reiner and Bertholdt's roommates.

And cue the awkward situations.
