Notes: Manga spoilers but not really.

When he’s sent to Shiganshina, after the war, it’s not that he’s not expecting the quiet, corrosive tension between them.

What he’s not expecting is the reveal of her messy fragility, or his to her.

He’s not expecting to find her so beautiful.

.

He’s not expecting to be invited into her house, first, and, much later, into her bed. Much less so, his desire to accept.

.

Long after their hands are joined, the chatter:

“She was supposed to be Eren Jaeger’s.”

“Come, Reiner, let’s go home.”
