This was for 2014 ReinerConnie week on tumblr, day # - Echos. I didn't do all the days... I was lazy. It's no excuse though since I was the one who organized that shipping week. ;_;

Reiner let his head fall back against the cold brick wall. His hands were secured above his head by shackles, the metal painfully digging into his now chafed wrists.
How long had it been since he had been captured and tossed into this dark cell? When was the last time he felt the sun beat down in his skin. The last time he had actual human contact besides with the guard that would toss food into his cell occasionally. A week? Maybe two? Reiner lost count.
He was left to his thoughts. Countless memories replaying in his head. He could vividly hear the laughter, see the tears of his former comrades, the ones he deluded himself to believe were his friends. The ones he fought to survive with for 3 years of hellish training.
The one that stood out amongst the others was the Connie, his bright smile and infectious laugh is what kept Reiner sane during his imprisonment.
Reiner squeezed his eyes shut. He also remembered the look of betrayal. The utter look of disbelief that shone in his eyes. Connie looked like he had wanted to cry, his shoulders slumped forward as his head dropped. Connie's smaller hands tightened around the handles of his twin blades. "It was all a lie?" Though just above a whisper, Reiner made out his words.
This was Reiner's punishment. He had to bare the guilt of what he had done. The thousands of innocent people he helped send to their graves. He had to remember the looks on his friends faces.
He had to dwell in the echos of the past.

Reiner/Connie is one of my favorites.
