Growing Feelings 2 (Bertholdt x Reader) College AU

What happened last night was a mistake. Big one.

Reiner's pv

I woke up with an headache, groaning while I turned to the other side of the bed. As my memories came back to me, I grabbed the pillow and covered my head trying to forget about them.

Why... why did I had to do that??

Clearly I must have been the dumbest person on earth... for trying to ruin what was fine as it was.

Maybe now she won't want to go out anymore... she'll leave me behind... just like everyone else.

I took the pillow off of me and layed down facing the ceiling.

I need to fix things before it is too late.

I grabbed my phone and typed a message meant for (y/n). I asked her to meet me in the afternoon at the café. I didn't have to wait for long since her response showed up right away. She would go.

I sighed, relieved that at least she would let me talk to her. 

Now with that topic out of the way, another one kept trying to take control of my mind.

Christa.

God... I am such an idiot. Even though I already knew she would reject me. It still hurt. 

She was super nice about it too... apologized and everything. Like it would be her fault to not fall for such a dumbass like me. 

My sigh was louder this time.

She's so perfect... I've been into her for so long now. She was the only girl for me.

Then why, back then...

Of all people.

I had to make a move on my best friend's girl? And me... the one who encouraged and did everything for them to get together in the first place!

- Argh damn it!

I threw the pillow against the wardrobe in front of my bed, but it just softly hit it. For some reason that frustrated me even more. I grabbed a shoe and was ready to throw it when I heard knocking on the door.

I was frozen in place. Who could it be... unless.

- Reiner... are you awake?

I ran to the door and opened it with all my might, as if I didn't go fast enough he would disapear.

- Bertholdt! You came back!

- Yeah... I had to take care of some paperwork at school... because of the internship and all.

- I... - I took a deep breath, trying to control my emotions and get back to my usual cheerful self - Ah! If I knew you were coming today I would have prepared something! You know, like that cake you like...

- It's alright Reiner you didn't need to do anything. Actually... - Bertholdt placed his hand on the back of his neck and looked away. - I should apologize to you. I left like that and barely talked back...

- That was because of your phone right? It couldn't be helped.

- Ah speaking of that I finally got a new one... I'll show it to you.

Bertholdt went away for a few seconds so he could reach his bag, and only then I realised I was still on my underwear from just getting up.

- Let me just get some pants. - I said when he got back with his phone and I tried to quickly dress up something.

- This is my new number...

I grabbed my phone and noted it down, feeling geedy that he was finally back.
