Reiner found that this always the best part of his mornings, waking up with Bertholdt beside him and watching his boyfriend slowly arose from his slumber. The cute scrunch of his nose as Bertholdt stretched out after untangling himself from whatever strange position he had somehow got himself into before Bertholdt opened his eyes and turned to face Reiner.

"You know it's rude to stare," Bertholdt said, his voice laced with sleep. Reiner smiled as he brushed some hair off Bertholdt's face and tucked it behind his ear.

"Good Morning," Reiner said before leaning forward, pulling Bertholdt into a kiss, cupping his cheek as he slid his tongue into his boyfriend's slightly parted lips.

"You have horrible morning breath" Bertholdt whined trying to push his boyfriend away, but he relented when Reiner pulled him in for another kiss, he had been with Reiner for years now so the smell of Reiner's morning breath didn't bother him as much as he had when they first started dating and Reiner would wake him up at the crack of dawn with a kiss.

"You love me really," Reiner said, pressing another quick kiss to Bertholdt's lips, "We better get up, everyone has already left for the mess hall. We have that ODM test today,".

Reiner reluctantly pulled away from his boyfriend before climbing off their cots and started getting changed into his Cadet Corps uniform whilst Bertholdt just watched.

"I really do" Bertholdt muttered, drawing Reiner's attention to him.

"Huh?" Reiner said a little confused but Bertholdt shook his head as he stood up walking over to his boyfriend wrapping his arms around Reiner's neck.

"I love you," Bertholdt said.

"I love you too," Reiner said grinning as he reached up and pulled his taller boyfriend down to his height and pressed their lips together once more.

Bertholdt groaned as Reiner started sucking the sensitive point on his neck. They knew they shouldn't be doing this here. Reiner was practically onto of Bertholdt on their cots, if anyone walked in they would know exactly what they were doing, there was no way they could deny what was happening but that still didn't stop Reiner from pushing his boyfriend down onto their cot after they finished getting dressed and started littering Bertholdt's skin with hickey after hickey.

Bertholdt pushed Reiner off him, grabbing his corps jacket which fell to the floor, and darted into the conjoining bathroom to sort himself out – that's when he saw it, the bright red hickeys which littered his neck, the same hickeys which poked out of the neck of his jacket for the world to see, those same hickeys which he couldn't hide.

"The hell Reiner, you're meant to be careful" Bertholdt snapped storming out the bathroom and pointed to the hickeys on his neck.

"Whoops sorry, Bertl," Reiner said in a tone which told Bertholdt that he was definitely not sorry. Bertholdt just groaned as he walked out of the barracks and towards the mess hall. He was completely and utterly embarrassed. He can't believe Reiner. He knew they had to be careful, he knew that they were keeping their relationship a secret, and yet he still littered Bertholdt's neck with those offending hickeys that he couldn't hide. One look at his neck and everyone could easily figure out what had happened and that would bound to lead to people figuring out who caused those hickeys, after all, Reiner was the only person Bertholdt spend a copious amount of time with plus when the others left the barracks Reiner was the only person who had stayed behind. If anyone really thought about it, it was obvious who had left the hickeys on his neck.
