A Nervous Romantic

Annie slowly walked out of her room, her face flushed with pink. As soon as Bertholdt laid his eyes on her, his heart almost stopped, his cheeks growing rosy red and his palms growing moist with sweat. He covered his mouth and looked to the ground and then back at the blonde woman. Beruani, Romance, Fluff, rated T.

A Nervous Romantic

Chapter 1: Stolen Cookies

Bertholdt Fubar was an average shy nervous man living in an apartment building with his two best friends Reiner Braun and Annie Leonhart. As the oven dinged as a sign of whatever was in it was ready, Bertholdt opened the oven and pulled out a tray of freshly baked cookies with his strawberry pattern oven mittens that Annie had given him as a gift for his last birthday. He placed the tray on the counter, near the window for it to cool off. He sighed softly as a cool slow breeze made its way into the kitchen's window, allowing the scent of warm cookies to spread throughout the apartment. 'It's a good day today' Bertholdt thought as he looked out the window, the light blue sky being a comfort to his green eyes. He watched the slow puffy clouds make its way across the sky, birds were flying south in a perfect V shape. Bertholdt enjoyed looking at nature; it calmed his nerves and helped him to relax when he needed to. If he was ever stressed, he'll grab a book from his bookcase, head to the park and find the tallest tree to sit under.

"Ah~ Yes..." Bertholdt sighed softly again as another calm breeze came through. After the breeze went down, he looked down at his tray of cookies and noticed that one went missing.

"Huh..?" Bertholdt stared at the tray and heard some munching behind him. He turned to look and there was his best friend, Reiner, eating one of his cookies. "R-Reiner!" He yelled.

"What?" The blond hair, golden eyes man asked.

"What are you doing?!" He approached Reiner, smacking the cookie from his hands. It fell to the ground and Bertholdt went to pick it up.

"Hey!" Reiner whined.

"Reiner, you know not to touch these cookies. I can't believe you..." Bertholdt examined the bitten cookie; it has a few small hairs on it and dirt from having fallen on the ground.

"I was hungry, Bert" The blonde man pouted.

"Well, you can just make something for yourself because those cookies aren't yours"

"Come on, Bert-Annie?!" The tall dark haired man turned around to see a short blonde haired girl crouching near the counters and grabbing the cookies one by one and placing it in zip lock bag.

"An-Annie!" Bertholdt instantly turned red after catching sight of the blonde girl. She stared at Bertholdt and Reiner with her big blue eyes, holding the bag of cookies tightly to her chest. As soon as Bertholdt took a step towards her, she glared at him. Bertholdt couldn't help but find her so adorable, it made him weak in his knees and red as an apple. "Annie, can you give them back?" He asked politely.

"No." She quickly said, stuffing the bag of cookies in her shirt, and dashing right past a stunned Bertholdt and a smirking Reiner.

"Good job!" Reiner high fives Annie as they leave the kitchen, leaving a furiously blushing Bertholdt behind. He held his face in his hands and couched down to the ground. His skin was so hot to the point where it could melt and his stress meter was off the charts. He just couldn't believe he caught sight of it. It was light blue with cute little dark blue poka-dots on it and it was driving him insane.

"I can't believe I caught sight of her bra..." Bertholdt mumbled, wanting to disappear right in this spot.
