Yamya opened the door after hearing the doorbell ring. She was in her pajamas, her hair was in a messy bun and she hard dark bags under her eyes since she's been on and off crying. She looked up at the tall blond man, who she was dating, but also ignoring.

"Yamya, why haven't you been answering me?" he asked, his voice full of concern and she could tell he didn't get a wink of sleep, worrying about her. Yamya stepped aside, letting him in the house, which he took the invitation and headed to the couch. Erwin wasn't home because he went grocery shopping for the month, since they will have to be taking care of Levi when he gets home.

"I see you didn't get any sleep. Did you go to school today?" she asked, more in a hushed voice as she made her way to Reiner.

"I did, because I wanted to see you but you didn't show up," he said, holding a hand out to her. She took it and sat down next to him, where an awkward silence filled the air. She didn't want to cry in front of Reiner but she did want to sleep, however, she hasn't been able to do that. Erwin has been gone for a while now and she was scared of the monsters in her nightmare.

"Yamya, you look like you're about to pass out. Please, go to sleep. I'll be right here when you wake up," Reiner said, running his hand up and down her back.

"You should get some sleep as well. You look terrible," she said, holding his hand tighter.

"Like you're the one to talk," he said in a whisper before standing up. He picked up Yamya and carried her to her room, where he laid her down on her bed. He was about to sit on the floor when Yamya yanked him into the bed with her.

"Hey, won't your father be pissed?" he asked, shocked by her sudden action. His face relaxed when he saw her eyes fill with tears. He held her close and placed his head on top of hers. Yamya didn't dare cry in front of Reiner, but her tears failed to stay where they were. Reiner has never seen Yamya cry, not even over a sprained ankle that she got during a game.

"Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow is Saturday so sleep until your hearts content. I will not leave you for even a second," he said, kissing her head multiple times. He wanted Yamya to know that she wasn't alone and the he was always there for her. However, he felt a blush creep onto his cheek as he was cuddling with his girlfriend in her room. Even though they've cuddled at his house before, it was always on the couch and his siblings was with them, watching a movie that was appropriate for them. Yamya loved those kids, even if they always were there when they tried to get alone time.

They passed out together, Yamya laying in Reiner's arms while he slept, resting his head on top of hers. No monsters visited her while she slept, but, instead, she dreamt about happy things, which made her feel at ease. Erwin came home and was confused on why Yamya wasn't on the couch.

"Yamya?" He called out, placing the groceries on the counter in the kitchen. When he didn't get a response, he ran to her room in shock, thinking something happened. When he barged in, he saw Reiner and Yamya laying in her bed, sleeping. It made him relax a little that she was fine but was kind of mad that Reiner was in her bed, let alone her room. All he could do is walk back downstairs and let them sleep, thinking of how to bring up the topic to Yamya about what was going on.

He had dinner alone that night, which he didn't mind. He wanted some peace and quiet, since he was dealing with the Levi thing and wondering how he will balance him and Yamya. After dinner and doing a quick clean up, he decided to rest on the couch in the living room to watch TV, hoping it'll help him drift off from his worries. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs, which made him turn to see who it is.

"Hey dad…" Yamya said tiredly. She walked over to the kitchen, which made him believe she was hungry.

"Hey honey, are you hungry?" he asked, standing up to accompany her. He watched her rummage through the fridge.

"Here, you go sit. I'll heat it up for you," he said, kissing the top of her head before taking the container out of her hand gently. Yamya walked over to the table and sat down, putting one leg on the chair.

"May I also have some water? I'm really thirsty," she said, rubbing one of her eyes. Erwin made her a cup of water and placed it in front of her.

"How's Reiner? I'm guessing he's still asleep?" he asked, placing the food that was in the container onto a plate. Yamya eyes grew wide at his sudden question.

"U-Um, yeah. He's fine," she said quietly, wishing she wasn't in this type of situation right now, but thankful it was her dad.

"I don't mind him staying over but I prefer him not being in the same bed as you," he commented, placing the plate into the microwave and heating it up.

"I told his parents that he was here and that he was welcome to spend the night. They mentioned that he was very worried about you since I took you home from the fair," he commented, glancing over at her. Yamya was looking down at her water with furrowed eyebrows.

"I'm sorry. It won't happen again," she said, brushing back the strands of hair that was in her face.

"I don't mind it Yamya, but please, give me a warning next time," he said gently, taking the now heated food out of the microwave and grabbing a fork. He put the hot food in front of her before sitting across from her.

"Reiner really loved you, doesn't he?" he asked, smiling gently. Yamya only nodded at the comment and started eating, not blowing off her food. 'At least she's eating. She refused to eat this morning and wouldn't touch her lunch either," Erwin thought, watching his daughter. Footsteps could be heard making their way down the stairs. Erwin turned his head towards the entrance and Reiner was standing there, looking guilty.

"Please, sit down Mr. Braun. I'll heat up some food for you," Erwin said with a smile before standing up and walking back into the kitchen. Reiner sat down next to Yamya and glanced at her. He noticed that she was wearing his jacket, probably because she was cold and that was the only thing she could find.

"Thank you sir and I'm sorry for overstaying my stay," Reiner said, sounding honestly sorry. Erwin only shook his head and turned to him.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just glad you were there for Yamya. She wasn't herself at all today, so I'm glad she gained some of her old self back," he said, placing Reiner's food into the microwave.

"I saw my parents texted me, thanks for letting me stay the night," he said, looking at Erwin.

"It's not a problem, it's late and you were asleep," he said, taking out the heated food and placing it in front of Reiner, with a fork. Reiner started eating as well and Erwin decided to sit back down and started a conversation with them. It was late but he felt relaxed, having people to talk to, even if it was two teenagers. That night, they all stayed up, chatting and just talking about a bunch of nonsense.
