From Two Different worlds [Reader Insert]

Chapter 13

This was odd.

"I mean yeah sure, but wouldn't you rather have Reiner help you with this," you paused and tilted your head, "I mean you are best friends and all."

"I want to do this without his help, so could you?"

You looked up at him. He had a small frown which was somewhat usual. Though this time he wasn't sweaty, meaning that there is nothing that is stressing him out. His words are genuine, he just wants confidence.

"Of course, I'm always happy to help you. Just shout my name and I'll come," you stated cheerfully as you slowly intertwined your hand with his. It was odd, this was a thing you both often did on the very rare occasion when neither Reiner and Annie were around.

There was a sweet smile that adorned his face that had a small hint of red, "Really? Thanks, sorry to put this on you all of a sudden. You're probably the only other person who I am close to besides Reiner." His other hand started to reach out to yours. It was a nice moment.

That was until someone kicked open the door as they screamed 'meat', at the top of their lungs.

"Bertolt you won't believe what we caught-(Y/n)? I didn't know you were here?"

Entering were both the groups, or at least one full group, that had argued earlier today. It was about time since it was going to be dinner time soon. May take them a while to cook their special dish.

Sasha's group brought in a giant boar, just a big ass boar.

Then there was Jean with some eggs.

The giant that once stood next to you, pulled his hands away and acted as if he was busy doing something else. Which at this point was near to completion. Maybe just add a little decoration and keep it warm for a little while until the rest finishes.

As per usual he became a stuttering mess as he tried to play everything off. Saying that nothing had happened. Reiner of course was confused but came to the conclusion that he was probably embarrassed that he had to ask for help to finish this chore. Which surprisingly was easy, just clean a little, chop some veggies, get the bread from a baker, and yeah. That's about it.

Wonder why Shadis didn't give me this chore?

Your thoughts were interrupted by the sudden chaos that filled the room. Sasha was screaming one side as she cut the boar and cooked it. She didn't add anything to it, then again unseasoned people. Jean was somewhat panicking as he tried cooking an omelet, trying to do what his mom usually did. He'd occasionally blurt out vulgar words as he tried his best to remember certain steps. Which was weird, because it is literally just an omelet.

Then again you really don't know how to cook, only clean.

Yes, you do the cleaning, no you don't do the cooking.

Armin was still bedridden, probably. Annie was probably doing some training or something.

Connie was looking at vegetables like he's never seen one in his life. Especially with the cabbage.

Reiner was slowly peeling potatoes with some ungodly concentration. He didn't blink for a good minute.

It concerned you, to say the least.

Placing your hand on his shoulder you said, "Dude, you know you can blink, right?" Reiner snapped out of it and looked at you before back down at the potato. "You're really focused, don't wanna cut yourself, huh."

He simply nodded and continued to peel the potato, slowly.

He kept at it for a while and barely made any progress. Bertot, who was also standing behind, was growing concerned for his friend.
