Couldn’t it have waited tomorrow? [ Reiner groans, voice slightly higher than before as well and still a bit groggy from sleep. he’s caught Jean’s intentions instantly, though, and he gives him an understanding look.
‘help with hand-to-hand combat’ is one of the many covers they’ve thought of during the years they’ve spent in the training corps and used whenever they’ve needed to sneak out together. “help me grab some stuff from the warehouse, Kirstein” is another, usually shouted by Reiner after lunch or something, whenever Jean’s back from one of his undercover trips in the city to gather information (and promptly followed by Reiner locking both of them in the nearest storage room and kissing him and telling him he’s missed him and he’s glad he’s okay). there is also “we’re on picking up wood duty”, used whenever they’ve needed to just have a chat away from everybody else.
they are lucky nobody’s ever questioned any of them (out loud at least) and Annie’s even made sure to tell them more than once. but Reiner doesn’t care. those moments keep him sane. ]
Alright. Just give me a minute to get ready. [ a loud defeated sigh to keep up with the acting and Reiner is sitting on his bed, covers off of him to make sure they won’t tempt him to go back to sleep. he gives Jean another look and he can tell he’s upset at him for something and maybe he isn’t as sure as he was a minute ago about the reason. it’s not like he’s started acting friendly with everyone else now. ]
