       “Reiner…Reiner.”

       Opening his eyes you were the first person he saw, (h/c) locks swaying down like wisteria as your (e/c) orbs gazed worriedly at him.

       “Nnnn…?” he groaned as he stretched his limbs.

       “Morning sweet sunshine,” you giggled. “You’ve been out for three hours Reiner. Did you not sleep last night?”

       “No, I was up doing something,” he plainly replied.

       “Well,” you stood up before continuing, “we’ve got class now and then it’s home time.”

       “Ah oka--haaaaaah,” he yawned.

       You looked at him as he followed along and he was out of it. No bubbly feeling, no macho charisma emanated from him at all. You could tell he was bombed out.

       “R-Reiner!” you shouted as he tripped whilst scaling down the stairs.

       “Shit sorry,” he scratched his head apologetically.

       “Ugh,” you shrugged. “Here.”

       Grabbing his wrist you escorted him safely back to floor one of the fifteen floor library. When Reiner became unusually tired he would go up to the top floor of the Freedom University library and sleep on the lounges there. Then you would have to go up there and search for him so you could go to your last class together. In addition to this arduous journey, the elevators were under maintenance.

       “Mmmmnnn…” he said drearily, nodding his head back and forth half asleep. “(Name).”

       “Hmm, what?” you turned to look at him.

       “Nothing,” he replied. You thought he was strange when in half asleep mode.

       As soon as you both stepped outside the cold gust sprinted past you vigorously and your lips began to crackle up at its severe dryness. It was winter after all. Despite having a sweater on you still felt cold. Reiner on the otherhand was wearing his green basic shirt and sweatpants.

       “Aren’t you cold, Reiner?” you asked a tad bit worriedly.

       However he was too tired to feel or hear anything so you just held his wrist as you both ran haphazardly to the last lecture. Reiner slept throughout the whole three hour lecture. Every time he snored you would nudge him lightly and he’d awaken and grumble, reposition himself before falling back asleep. Arms crossed, sitting upright and eyes shut tight he would slowly slouch forward before opening his mouth and letting out soft snores. He would even drool slightly and that would prompt you to action.

       “Gosh Reiner!” you scolded as you walked him to his car. “This is like the third time I’ve seen you like this. What makes you stay up so late so that you’re sleep deprived the next day?”

       “Urk,” was all he replied with.

       “Ugh,” you rolled your eyes.

       Finally at his car you watched as he sluggishly made his way to the driver’s seat. It was starting to get dark, and extremely cold. Watching him struggle you couldn’t let him drive home because he wouldn’t be alive the next day.

       “Whoa whoa whoa, hold on Reiner,” you took the keys from his hand.

       “Huh?” he looked at you, eyes half shut.

       “You sure are knocked out flat huh?” you commented, placing your hands on your hips.

       “No, I’m fine,” he replied before yawning loudly and leaning on top of you.

       “Kyaa--!” you squealed. “R-Reiner!”

       His body pressed you against his car and you were stuck. His head laid on the side of your neck and you felt him breathing steadily as if he were about to fall asleep. Well, no doubt he was sleeping.

       “Urgh, Reiner!” you pressed on his chest to force him off. Go sit in the passenger seat, now! I’ll drive.”

       “But (Name),” he insisted. “You live pretty far from me so you should get going now. Or, I can drive you home since it’s dark--.”

       “Are you kidding me?” you laughed sarcastically. “Look at yourself, you can barely stand Reiner! You need a good sleep.”

       “But it’s only 6pm…” he whinged before yawning.

       Reiner was pretty cute when he was half asleep. His logical thinking went out the window.

       “Well, duh!?” you shrugged your shoulders at him. “Reason why you need a good sleep? Besides, I’ll figure something out my own way. I’ll get my older brother to pick me up or something. And—Reiner?”

       Looking at him his head was already tilted to one side as soft snores rumbled out of his nose and mouth.

       “Gosh,” you rolled your eyes and head.

       Starting the car and putting both yours and his seatbelts on you drove him safely to his house. Once there his little sister opened up.

       “Hi Annie,” you greeted. “No uni today?”

       “No,” she replied. “So you brought Reiner here?”

       “Yeah he can’t drive when he’s half asleep, too dangerous,” you said. “Could you help me get him out? He won’t budge.”

       “Alright.”


       “Phew,” you huffed and puffed. “That was hard. He’s so heavy!”

       “Yeah,” Annie plainly said. “He works out too much.”

       “Is that why he’s tired sometimes?”

       “No, sometimes he just stays up extremely late for no reason,” she shrugged. “Hot chocolate?”

       “Hmm?” you turned to her.

       “It’s cold,” she said.

       “Uhm, sure.”


       “Alright, I’m going to head off to the nearest bus stop,” you said as you got up out of their comfortable lounge.

       “It’s too late (Name),” Annie stopped you. “Transportation has probably stopped running. How’re you going to--?”

       “Oh don’t worry about me, I’m going to call my older brother to pick me up,” you explained.

       “Oh okay, say hello to Bertolt for me,” she said.

       “Will do!” you nodded. “I’m going to say goodnight to Reiner.”

       Annie left to wash up in the kitchen so you quickly popped upstairs to see Reiner. Entering, you went up to his bed and poked his side. He shuffled slightly and rolled onto his back, hands on stomach as his shirt flipped all the way up. You saw his taut body and immediately covered it with his thick quilt.

       “Good night Rei--,” you whispered into his ear.

       Suddenly, feeling something strong latch onto your arm you were pulled forcibly into his bed.

       “Uwaaah--! Ooof…”

       Immediately burly arms engulfed your stomach as you were pulled tighter to his body. It happened that Annie came up to check too and saw you red faced in bed with her older brother.

       “A-A-A-Annie--!” you nodded from side to side.

       “Oh,” she giggled lightly. “I forgot to mention, Reiner grabs things in his sleep. Sorry but I can’t pry you out of this one.”

       “O-Okay,” you gasped for air. “But could you at least lend me a hand?”

       Stretching out your phone to her you asked if she could tell Bertolt that you were sleeping over. Two hours passed and eventually Reiner loosened up but you were so comfortable you didn’t want to get out. So, taking off your sweater and bra but leaving your flimsy shirt on you laid back down comfortably and turned to face him as his arms wrapped around you.

       “Ah--!” you squeaked.

       “Goodnight you two,” Annie said before switching off the light.

       You looked up at his sleeping face. It was adorable, so adorable you wanted to play with it all over. Reiner pressed his body closer to yours and you felt his tense body wall up against yours and it felt sensationally odd. His hot breath steaming from his nostrils patted your neck and you were starting to drift off into your abyss of sleep. Arms curling around his giant body you slept warmly. He felt like a huge bear, but warm.


       “Ugh…” you yawned, slowly opening your eyes. The man next to you whom you were hugging was no longer there.

       Raising yourself in his bed you looked at the time and read ‘6:01am.’

       “Oh, you’re awake!”

       You looked to where the voice was coming from.

       “Good morning (Name),” Reiner greeted you cheerily.

       “But it’s still dark Reiner,” you whinged.

       “Hahaha I know,” he said. “Sorry did I wake you? I just went downstairs for a piss.”

       “Come back,” you urged, patting the empty cold space besides you.

       You felt odd for saying it but, you were so comfortable with sleeping with Reiner. He emitted so much heat it kept you warm all night.

       “O-Okay,” he answered before jumping back into bed.

       This time though his shirt was off completely.

       “Reiner aren’t you cold one bit?” you asked.

       “Nope, because I have a hot babe in my bed so I’m warm all over heh,” he replied slyly.

       “Uh!” you elbowed his chest as he hugged you tight. “Feeling better though?”

       “Way better, now that I’ve got you,” he kept teasing.

       “Well,” you agreed, “I guess that’s true.”

       Then you turned to him to give him a soft kiss before indulging in his warm body.

       “Does this mean, we’re going out?” he asked dumbly.

       “Be quiet and sleep,” you interjected.

       Placing your hands on his chest you laid your head on it.

       “You’re such a big cuddly bear you know that?” you commented.

       “H-Hey.”

       “I can sleep with you the whole winter…”

       Reiner sounded content with that. At that you both fell back asleep and realised it was the weekends, which meant sleep in with Reiner the warm sleepy bear.
