Bertholdt doesn't really know what life is.
He's come to that conclusion after Reiner, his childhood friend and now husband, began his affair months back. Inseparable as children, smitten as adults, and now broken as newlyweds. However, Bertholdt won't leave. Yes, it hurts unbearably. Yes, he can barely trust anyone anymore. And yes, any sane person would have left ages ago. But he couldn't, he won't, not when his entire life rests in the palm of the man he thinks he still loves.
Maybe Bertholdt doesn't really know what love is.
Reiner's sorry.
He's a sorry excuse for a husband, he's a sorry excuse for a human being, and he's just so sorry. That's all he's ever been able to do. Apologize and try to hold his world order together for just a little longer. If it weren't for forces outside of his control, if it weren't for people he couldn't control, then it wouldn't have come to this. But that's a terrible excuse, and guilty people shouldn't give excuses.
So all he can do is hang his head and apologize.

Synopsis:
Erwin Smith never thought he'll break his principles just because of a woman.
He had long decided that he won't get any attachment from other people, he decided that he won't love someone, he won't get married and have a family.
He decided to be alone.
All for his dreams.
But one girl broke everything that he have decided for such a long time.
Y/n Vogel,
A once young girl he had an eye contact with when he first entered the training corps. She was just a kid back then, just like him, though he was five years older.
Fate plays well.
Eventually, they're brought back together.
Who would've though that it'll be the reason for them to fight alongside each other for years, and fall in deep love?
