"Ah, Reiner, are you excited?" Bertholdt hauled his backpack up onto the second level of the bunk, then easily climbed up.

"For training?" Reiner retorted, climbing into his own bed and lying down.

"Yeah." Bertholdt peeked his head over the edge of the bed to look at Reiner, who in turn gave him a passive stare. "I think you'd be good at using the 3D maneuver gear."

Reiner laughed. "It'll be fine."

Just then, a knock echoed through the room. They exchanged looks before Reiner got out of bed to open the door. Annie stood in the doorway, looking glum as she always did. She had a backpack slung over her shoulder. Bertholdt rushed over.

"Annie!" He was surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Yeah," Reiner agreed, "aren't you supposed to be bunking with one of the girls?"

"Tch," Annie shrugged nonchalantly. "Can I sleep here or not?"

Bertholdt looked scandalized, blushing deep red. Reiner sighed and let her in. He shut the door behind her and crossed his arms. She strolled over to the bed, setting her bag on the sheets.

"So," she placed her hands on hips, "which one do I get?"

"You can slee—"

"Take my bed!" Bertholdt suddenly burst out. "I can… I can sleep on the floor."

Reiner turned to Bertholdt, who was averting his eyes. His cheeks were still slightly pink. Reiner roared with laughter and wrapped an arm around him.

"Wow, Bert! You don't have to do that." He gave Bertholdt a huge grin. "You can bunk with me!"

"Whatever." Annie jumped up onto the top bunk. "You two are idiots."
