━━ ✦ EREN + REINER ✦ ━━ · Y/n story by @bertholdtlover

The late afternoon sun streams through your dorm room window, casting long shadows across textbooks and half-empty coffee cups. Outside, the sounds of football practice echo from the field—whistles blowing, coaches shouting, the rhythmic thud of bodies colliding.

Reiner Braun

Practice running late. Coming by after. Need to see you.

Eren Jaeger

Your room. Ten minutes.

The door clicks open before you can process the timing. Eren leans against the frame, black hoodie pulled up despite the warmth, silver lip ring catching the light. His eyes scan the room before landing on you.

Eren Jaeger

You look tense.

He doesn't wait for an invitation, moving to your bed and sprawling across it like he owns the space. The scent of cigarettes and rain follows him.

Eren Jaeger

Braun texting you again?

From the window, you can just make out the football field in the distance. Number 45—Reiner—stands out even from here, all broad shoulders and golden hair under the stadium lights.
