Light foot steps raced through the empty hallway, small hands sneaking up to the doorknob to turn ever so discreetly. A little girl with bright blonde curls appeared in the doorway, she squeaked. "Daddy you awake." In the dark room laid a giant beast cuddle up with green blankets. The room smelt like beer and sweat daddy probably was drinking again, she sighed. The child creeped to the beast's bedside and lets out a whopping yell. "RAWR!" The beast shot his eyes open, and spoke. "Lydia, what is it?! It's five in the morning!" She jumped and kissed his cheeks.

"Sorry Daddy I wanted to play with you." He sat up pulled his daughter into his lap.

"What did you want to play, Lydia?" He sighed, Lydia jumped in glee.

"I wanna play Monsters Daddy! But this time you're the monster!" She mostly screamed, Reiner chuckled. "But I'm always the monster, can't you be the monster this time." He said in a whinny tone to mimic her. The little girl pouted in protest

"Daddy please?" She whined pulling herself closer to his face. "Pleasee." Reiner actually gave it some thought, humming to think as the question was difficult.

"How 'bout we play when Daddy gets a good nap,hm?" Lydia nodded violently,

"You promise!" Reiner tugged his tired lips into a wery smile.

"Yes I promise." She crossed her arms.

"Do you pinky promise me?" Reiner nodded, She stretched out her pinky. "Pinky, pinky swear." Reiner sighed, he was being interrogated by an six year old to give a pink promise, to his own child.

"Honey, do I have-" Lydia interrupted him before he could speak any more.

"Yes Daddy! You have to or it's not a pinky promise, unless you give me your pinky swear!" The neighbors could probably hear her yelling, Reiner did not want to another noise complaint, they have already reported him three times so far.

The first time they were reported was from playing Pony. Reiner would get on all fours and pretended to be a pony and Lydia would ride on his back. Lydia thought her father hated that game but actually he loved it, he sometimes misses playing with his little girl. But today Reiner wasn't engaged for playtime, he was fired from his job, and now he has to find another job before Lydia notices it. And to mention he figured out his ex-girlfriend was cheating on him the whole time they were dating with another woman, I think her name was Ymir..

Being woken up at four in the mourning wasn't fun. The only the reason for her to wake him up was to play Monster. Today wasn't his day, he must keep acting normal for his little girl just awhile longer. He realizes that he was spacing out the whole time and his daughter was still waiting for an answer. What was she saying? Something about Monsters? No, he thought. A while longer and remembered that she wanted a pinky promise if I played Monsters after his nap. "Yeah, I pinky promise." Sticking out his pinky to interlock a true promise. Lydia jumped with glee again her short blonde curls bounced, she smiled and bolted off the bed.

"Sweet dreams Daddy!" with that she closed the door. He sat there blinking in disbelief, thats all it took to make her leave, wow. Reiner laid back down into his silky bedsheets, trying to fall back asleep. He shut his eyes thinking what to do about his job. There already in so much debt.

The IRS was so close of taking away their house. The money he really needs some money, he heard strippers make a lot of money, or maybe asking some of his friends for money they always help him when he needed it the most right?

Fuck maybe I should get more than one job, He thought. He shot out of his bed, the newspapers seem to have good jobs out there. Walking to the bathroom to take a peek if the paper was there it was, he grabbed the newspaper flipping to the wanted side. "Job wanted will pay 15.25$ per hour. to clean houses." No he needed a better pay at least 20 dollars per hour, for him and his child. "Wanted nude model will pay 50 per hour." 50 dollars! Holy shit, wait did it just say nude modeling, ah hell no I'm not doing that shit. Fuck that noise but I do need the money.

Showing a little bit of my body to make some money and keep my girl happy,paying my debts, and all I would do is stand up naked.

Fuck, how would my friends think of me? They already know that I'm gay. But this is taking it too far, I would be considered a stripper..Maybe If I don't tell them they won't find out..Yeah that'll work.

I'm coming baby girl! Daddy is going to fix everything, no more people coming over and trying to take more money away from us. I will get this job! If it takes everything that I got. Making a fist and thrusting it in the air while I yelled "Hell yeah!" Lydia come running in the bathroom.

"Daddy you're up! Lets play!" She said jumping, grabbing his hand pulling him away for the toilet. Reiner chuckled,

"Alright, we'll play an game okay. After that I have to make some calls." She agreed with nod, Still pulling him to the small living room. Lydia dropped his hands,

"Okay get ready Daddy." Reiner got on his hands and knees waiting certain someone to get on his back.

"I'm ready you coming or not." He snapped. She hopped on his back within seconds. "Yeehaw!" She pulled on his hair to act like mane on a horse. So she wouldn't fall off. Reiner started to neigh as he crawled forward.

"Faster!" Lydia yelled. Bring the pace a bit faster he smirks.

"You want it faster huh? How about this?" You could hear that he was smiling when he spoke.

"Woahh." She gripped his hair harder. Reiner brought the pace even faster.

"Nayy." Reiner yelped twisting and turning he threw off Lydia. Crawling towards her the blonde kisses her cheeks. Lydia was giggling her disheveled hair was covering her eyes, and Reiner moved her bangs out of the way. "You know you're cute." He said.

A strange cough broke both of their attentions. Reiner turned his head only to be met with Annie lending on the doorway. She was smiling for the first time, he never seen her smile before. He had to admit she looked quite cute with a smile plastered on her face. Wait what? How long was she watching us? I spoke half of my mind. "Um how long were you standing there?" Hoping she didn't see everything, dear god that would be embarrassing. I felt my face heat up. "I was watching the whole thing." She said in a monotone voice, her smile slowly turning into her normal bored expression.

He changed the subject by asking her, "So why are you here?"

"I just wanted to stop by and check on you two." She mumbled. Annie turned and waved a goodbye. Lydia stretched a great big smile and waved back.

"Buh bye Annie." Reiner was too flustered to even say goodbye, all he could think of how embarrassed he was. She closed the door behind herself.

"Well I..uh have to make a phone call okay." Lydia pouted.

"Okay Daddy." Reiner left her with a kiss and returned to the bathroom. Searching for the paper again, digging around the magazines box and he just realized he left the newspaper in the sink. Reiner face palmed, feeling his stupidity running in his veins. Grabbing his paper he takes to his "office." Reiner' his office which is his bed. Throwing the paper on the bed, he hops on fluffy bed giving out a loud creak. Looking back through the wanted side and dials the number shown in the paper.

The rings were irritating ring after rings, someone answered in a deep voice. "Good evening and welcome to Maria Modeling. How can we help you?"

"Um..I was looking in the newspaper and I was wondering if the job is still open?" I was hoping that the job is still open. Please, please, he whispered. The man on the other line was silenced for couple of moments.

"Oh yes! We have two opening, would you like full time or part time?"

"Umm..Part time would be nice."

"Okay we would like to interview with you sir."

"What day is good for an interview?"

"Today is open for 5:30"

"I'll take that one. I got nothin' planned today. Thank you "

"You're welcome sir."

( End call)

He glanced at the clock it read 4:00 pm. Well I have a hour to get ready. Reiner thought. "Hey honey! I'm going to get ready for work! What do you want for dinner?!" He yelled too lazy to get up and tell her face to face.

"I want ice cream!" Lydia yelled back.

"That's NOT dinner!" Reiner screamed.

"Ice cream is too dinner!" She said in a low voice. Reiner came out of his 'office' stamping out of his room.

"Ice cream is not dinner, young lady." He brought his voice dangerously meeting her face to face.

"Ice cream." She smiled hoping to get her way.

"No, spaghetti it is."

"Noo."Lydia whined.

"Then what?"

"Hamburgers!" Lydia protested, Reiner raised a brow.

"Why didn't you just say that before? That is a dinner and ice cream is for dessert." He said questioningly.

"But, I want to eat ice cream." Reiner hummed in annoyance.

"Well if you be a good girl you can have some ice cream, how about that?" She nodded.

"Okay i'll be a good!" He smiled.

"Good." Patting her head, Reiner migrates to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, and taking out the hamburger patties. He hums "Guren Ni Yumiya." Reiner tried singing it but the song is so hard. Everything would be mumbled besides Jäger, but in the end he sings.

"Sein ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jäger!" A booming voice sings. "Fumareta hana namao mo shirazu ni, chi ni ochita tori wa kase o machiwbru irotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranio ima o kaeru nu wa tatakau rakugo da." Lydia begins to sing too but she mumbles. Lydia only hears this when her dad sings in the shower. So she knows only a little expect the Jäger part. "Shi kabane fumikoete susumu ishi o warau buta yo. Kachika no annei kyogi no nanei shiseru garou no jiyuu, Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no koushi da jouheki no sono kanata emono o hofuru J-" Lydia cuts him off and sings

"Jägerr!" Reiner chuckles but continues to sings.

"Hotobashiru shoudoo ni sono mi o ya kinagara tasogare ni hi o ugatsu, Guren no Yumi ya!" Waiting for the next part he flips the burger. "Yao tsugae oikakeru yatsu wa nigasanaio yao hanachi oikakeru kesshite nigasanai, Genkai made hikishiboru hachikire sou na natsu. Yatsu ga iki taeru made do demo hanatsu. Emono o korsu no demo gijutsu demo na Togismasareta omae jishin no satsui da. Wir sind die Jäger! Honoo no you ni atsuku. Wir sind die Jäger! Kouri ni hiyayaka ni." He heard Lydia mumbling everything expect Jäger and when the part comes she would scream Jäger as loud she could. Her singing made his day and he couldn't stop from smiling his cheeks were hurting from smiling too much, and he still had to finish singing. "Wir sind die Jäger! Subete o tsuranuiteyuke."

Banging his head thinking of the imagery guitar solo and the awesome german part. "Angriff auf die Titanen. Der Junge von einst wir bald zum Schwert greifen." Singing in the deepest voice he has, and banging his head again. Lydia title her head wondering why hes banging his head like a maniac. "Wer nur seine macht Losigkeit Deklagt kann nicht verändern. Der Junge von einst wird bald das Schwarze schwert ergreifen. Hass und Zorn sind eine zweischneidige Klinge. Bald eines Tages wird er dem Schicksal die Zähne Zeigen." Then comes back the Japanese part whichs he has to give a higher voice.

"Nanika o kaeru kofo ga dekiru mono nanihitotsu risuku nado seowanai mama de. Nanika ga kanau nado. Angu no soutei tada no genei lma mubou na yuukimo. Jiyuu no senpei kake no kaosei no hashiru dorei ni Shourio! Kaserareta fujouri wa shingeki no koushi da. Ubawareta sono onihei sekai o nozomu eren. Tomedonaki shoudou ni sono mi o kasare nagara. Yoiyami ni shi o hakobu, meifu no yumiya!" The end has come smiling to himself. That was the first time he sang that song without mumbling anything and he felt proud. Sprinkling some seasons onto the burgers. "Do you want cheese?" His voice was scratchy from singing.

"Yes, please!" She yelled. Reiner realizes something his daughter wanted to play Monsters but they played Pony. And she didn't whine about playing something different. Well today is a good day for the Braun's, he thought. Finishing the burgers he looks at the microwave's clock it read 4:30 pm. Sweet I have enough time to eat and take a shower. Stuffing his face into the burger and his table manners was surely "the best." Even his daughter has better table manners and she was six.

A 27 year old man who has table manners of an infant. Lydia would yell at her father to close his mouth when he chews or to stop talking with a mouth full of food. It was gross she hated his table manners, how he ate was the most disgusting thing known to man, Lydia would think. But at least hes in a hurry so she doesn't have to suffer too long. With a blop Reiner left the kitchen without an "excuse me." Lydia spat in disgust. Reiner knows how much Lydia hates his manners but he does it to make her mad. Walking off with a smirk , he strips his clothes in the hallway.

"Daddy cover yourself! It gross." She screamed while shielding her eyes.

"I know I'm too good for you!~"He sings. Making his way to the bathroom slowly earning groans from his daughter. "Daddy go! I don't wanna see it!" Lydia protested.

"Can't you look away? Or is it I'm too stunning for you?" He turned around flashing his manhood to everyone. Laughing at Lydia demise, he wiggles his hips. Making his penis to bounce along.

"Daddy! Gross I don't wanna see your corndog." She yelped and runs into her bathroom slamming the door. Reiner chuckles, she doesn't know what a penis is so she calls them corndogs. How cute? He loves how innocent she is, just like her mother at times and it is adorable.

Reaching the bathroom Reiner kicks the door open, and ripping the showers curtains aside. He had to take a quick shower unless he was gonna be late because he has to no other transportation than the faucet demanding hot water, it was granted. Getting into the tub he sighs feeling the scorching water felt so lovely on his aching muscles. The blonde hung loosely above the water, humming a tune while he massages his head. Only to be taken away with icy water and he shoots curses. "Lydia god damn it! Knock that shit off!" He shrieked.

Little snickers was heard, and the sounds of a flushing toilet and oh the water got colder and colder with every flush. Reiner did not have the time for her shenanigans, well he kinda did but showing up early would be a nice impression.

"You're gonna be in deep shit young lady." He hollered. Even more curses were flying out his mouth. Giving up Reiner will probably sent Lydia timeout after his shower. Pouring some shampoo into his hands running his fingers through his silky blonde hair. Rinsing the soap off his hands first then proceeds to wash all the soap off his body.

Once the blonde finished he turned the nozzles off motioning the rushing water to stop. Sighing in relief Reiner sides the green curtains away revealing his nude body. Showing off his perfect muscular chest, his hip bones are popping and his legs were nicely built, it seems he's never missed a leg workout. He flexes his arms in the mirror and smiles at the results. "Damn I would tap that." Whilst changing into new flexing positions, Reiner leaves without putting on a towel he hates putting on towels, the feeling of rough cotton touching his wang while he was wet,nope. Plus he can't strut his stuff half naked, while having others jealous looking at his fabulous body.

I wonder if there's going to be any hot guys their? Maybe I should wear something sexy, he thought. Exiting the bathroom he moves into the master bedroom.

Pulling his dresser open searching for the right top he pulls out three shirts and lays them on the bed. Bending over to pull out another drawer and takes out black skinny jeans. Now the harder part picking out the shirt, he already picked his pants and underwear. Hm the teal v-neck shirt or a short sleeve brown shirt and finally a gray long sleeve shirt. The teal v-neck was his favorite so he grabbed it instantly. Slipping on his clothes as fast as he could, Reiner couldn't wait he was so excited and a small smile appeared on his face.

His lips curled downward into a snarl, remembering what Lydia had done to him but couldn't quite look as angry as he wanted. She can see right through it, "Why are you happy Daddy?" Lydia questioned.

"Damn you're smart kid. I'm going out today so be good. You know if you need anything just go down to Petra's, okay?" She tilted her head and pouted.

"You didn't answer me." Folding her arms whilst puffing her pale cheeks.

"I'm going to work." Clearly lying somewhat but its kinda the truth.

"But you're never this happy going to work?" Thinking of some kind of excuse he comes up with. "Yeah, thats because theirs a hot guy now." Lydia face palmed probably thinking he's gross and boys are really dumb.

She's so adorable at times like this leaving with an even bigger smile. His journey begins.
