you only meant to go to one football game because sasha had an extra ticket. through some absurd chain of friendships (sasha knows mikasa, mikasa knows annie, annie knows bertholdt, bertholdt knows reiner) you end up in the stands at one of the biggest football games of the season, expecting noise, boredom, and maybe decent snacks. instead, you look down at the field and see reiner braun for the first time: varsity captain, broad-shouldered and impossible to miss, moving like the whole stadium was built to watch him. and, unfortunately for you, you do. one game becomes another, then another, and before long it's less about sasha's invitations and more about the way reiner looks under stadium lights, the way your stomach drops every time he glances toward the stands, the way you've memorized his number without even trying. what starts as a lowkey pathetic crush gets harder to laugh off when reiner begins to notice you too—not just as part of the group, but specifically you. the one who keeps showing up. the one always somewhere in the crowd. and once he starts looking for you before the game, during it, after it, there's really no pretending this is one-sided anymore. requested by @ashantixc20

@bakugouThe first time you see Reiner Braun, it's by accident.
