[ oh my god bert how would you ever think reiner would turn you down. you could probably stutter out the confession in the worst way and he'd still be over the moon.

was this what he and jean were like? he owes so many apologies to so many people. ]

Okay, I get how using him as a pillow beats out biting, but you should still do it. Maybe when he's not expecting it.

And yes, it's a very nice one. I'm a taken man and I can still admit that.

[bertall]

_{[Oh, he's going to stutter it out alright. No matter how many times he practices what he's going to say, it's not coming out the way he wants it to.]}

You think so?

...I'm a little worried about something though. How are you and Jean going to manage sharing eachother here? Are you both okay with it?

[pyred]

I think so. Like a silly surprise.

[ ah, bertolt's question actually gives marco pause as he thinks about it. he and jean haven't discussed it much at this point... ]

We haven't talked about it yet... I know at home I'd just want Jean all to myself. But here I think as long as I know he loves me, and we were honest about who we were sleeping with.... it'd be fine. Maybe just talk to each other if someone we're sleeping with is bothering us.

...Which Jean is terrible at.

[ and marco too, not that he'll admit it. ]

[bertall]

...I am too. The talking thing, I mean.

_{[And being honest about who he was sleeping with... Hoo boy, he's definitely not going to mention that day with Hange if he can help it. He wants to blame the chip for most of it, but deep down he knew he went along with it of his own volition. He could've left, but he didn't.]}

...Honestly, I wish I could just marry him instead. I just want people to know he's mine - emotionally? I don't know. I just don't want people to think they can steal him away. ...Assuming he likes me back. I know you and Jean keep saying that it's impossible for him not to, but|

I'm still scared.

[pyred]

Well, you can work on that... I think we all can, honestly.

And that's what I want. I want to know that Jean only wants to be with me, and love me, and not to worry about that changing... I mean I'm not worried. But still.

... It is scary. But he and you have been through a lot together. Even on the off chance he didn't feel the same... he's not gonna leave you alone.

And that's why we're gonna practice until it's not scary anymore.

[bertall]

...This is going to be one of the hardest things I've done in my life. Being stared down by Shadis wasn't nearly this bad...

Promise we'll get it down?

[pyred]

You won't ever want to relive that day with Shadis after you do this. I promise, Bert... that's how good it feels right now.

We'll get it down. It'll be rolling off your tongue.

[bertall]

Gods I think I'm going to cry again. I just...

You have no idea how much this means to me, Marco.

[pyred]

Good tears hopefully, right?

I have some idea how much it means... I mean, if it's anything like how I felt about Jean, I know.

[bertall]

No, I'm crying because you're stabbing me in the heart with a sharp knife and twisting it. How could you, Marco? You're supposed to be a saint| Yes, good ones.

Can we pick a date before August? At the very least I'd... like to do it before Reiner's birthday. As much as I'd like to tell him then, I don't know if I could keep it in for two months. Well... Almost one.

[pyred]

Yeah, we can do it before Reiner's birthday! That gives us plenty of time to get practice in, especially if you want to do it more than once.

[bertall]

Maybe just once.

...Or twice, depending on how it goes.

[pyred]

However long it needs to be! Once or twice. Okay, hopefully not three times.

[bertall]

You'r the best, Marco.

Really, you are. I don't know if I could go to anyone else for this sort of thing.

[pyred]

Then it's a good thing I'm here, isn't it?

I don't know if I'm the best, but I'll accept pretty great regardless.

[bertall]

Definitely. I don't think I could ask Jean without it being weird even if both of you are the ones who started putting the idea to confess into my head. You're the only one.

And yeah... Reiner'll always be the best in my world. Reiner and Annie. You and the rest of the 104th though... You're all a close second and third.

[pyred]

Jean's not the best with words, either... and things like this, he's pretty terrible at.

[ he managed to be good for marco but that was okay, marco never expected a giant romantic gesture. ]

And hey, I can see that you need to tell him a mile away! I didn't put anything in your head.

... Yeah, I get that. Jean's my best, you know? Even when he's being ridiculous or insensitive. But everyone else is my close second.

... I've been trying to tell them what makes me happy about them. Since I never got the chance to at home.
