Work Text:
It had been a week since he’d confessed. Bertholdt and Annie had warned him and the fact his lover had been avoiding him since was starting to confirm that he’d screwed up. She didn’t understand, she hated him, and he’d lost her because of what he was. He’d thought she’d understand. Well, he was going to get answers. He knew where she was and Reiner Braun planned to get his answer right now.
Entering the girls shower room he removed his boots and quickly and quietly as possible, he placed them on one of the chairs which he then placed under the handle of the door. No running. Not until he got his answer. The sound of running water almost cut out the beating of his heart as he started forward. The humid room felt stifling, the steam was almost too much. She wouldn’t understand. Even Salida Mercer couldn’t love a monster.
Salida was trying to relax and clear her mind. She knew what she wanted to do and that was what scared her. He’d told her everything when they’d been lying in his bunk before the others returned. She felt slightly sick. She shouldn’t have made this choice but no matter how she tried to change her mind to, to be logical, she ended up with the same argument.
“Don’t be scared, Sal,” Salida felt the hot breath of Reiner Braun against her ear making her shiver. “I just want to talk to you. You’ve been running from me.” He whispered and she tried her hardest not to tense. His calloused thumbs traced lazy circles on her abdomen but this only caused her to tense. A sigh left his lips, “I get it.”
Those words sent a shiver through her. Her senses went into overdrive. She could feel the soaked fabric of Reiner’s shirt against her back. The warmth of the water moulding with the warmth of the man’s hands, her head drooped as she started to speak but found the words lost in her throat. “I…” he was going to kill her because she’d taken too long to react but how could she. It wasn’t him that scared her, it was the fact she… well she didn’t really care. She knew she should but all she thought about was that didn’t matter, he’d told her and she accepted almost immediately and that scared her.
“Have you told anyone?”
She didn’t move, she couldn’t. She was going to die, no be murdered, by the man she still loved.
“Salida, you need to be honest with me.”
Those words snapped something in her and instantly she tried to struggle against his grasp. Finding it useless she let her head rise, grey eyes burning a hole in the tiled wall of the shower. “I…Reiner please, you need to listen and-” Salida Mercer could feel him tense and swore she heard him growl a little but didn’t care anymore.
“I didn’t tell anyone,” she paused, her voice low and broken, ‘just admit it!’ “I wouldn’t tell them anyway,” Salida struggled again really wanting to face the man. To let him see her eyes, see the truth. She didn’t care. She had to tell him.
“That’s good, that will make it easier.”
Sally’s stomach felt like it had dropped. No, no. He couldn’t mean that. ‘But if he does…’
“We’re out on the plains tomorrow.” She paused, her voice betrayed her emotional state. “It would be less suspicious then.” She couldn’t believe she were planning her own death, or worse she wasn’t even fighting, hell she was helping him. Why, because she loved the bastard even now.
“Salida?”
Salida gasped when she felt the arms move to her shoulders and spin her around to face the hulking blond.
“I won’t kill you, Sally.” At that moment she couldn’t stand to look at him. The trainee felt sick to her stomach. Slowly one hand tilted her chin up to look at him. His eyes spoke for him, he actually looked weak. The strongest, physically, of the 104th trainees looked completely broken.
“Shit.” He muttered the word more than stated it the moment his eyes met hers. Shining grey eyes that once held love and sometimes lust just seemed to hold confusion or was it hate? How could she think he wanted to kill her? Hell, she could turn him over to Levi Ackerman and Erwin Smith right now and he’d go out without hating her.
The silence became deafening before she finally reached a hand up to his jaw turning his head back so she could gaze at his eyes. “Salida, I,” Reiner was cut off as she stood on her tip toes surprising even herself Sal kissed him. For a second the man was stunned but then his arms quickly encased the female’s smaller, naked, frame pulling her flush against his covered chest. Lithe fingers trailed to the man’s broad shoulders as the kiss became rougher. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders as he started to lick her lower lip. A heat was taking over her flesh. Salida’s body was yearning for him even though she knew the truth. Willingly, if a little slowly for Reiner’s liking, she parted her lips, the gasp that left being sucked in by Reiner while his tongue reclaimed the familiar space.
Calloused hands traced the curve of her back. Reiner broke the kiss and looked at her. “Sal,” he breathed, his chest heaving against hers. The grey eyed female bit her lip while looking up at him. Honey eyes stared back as one hand trailed to her hip rubbing in sensual circles slowly travelling lower. Slowly he trailed up her inner thigh until he reached his destination.
Salida took a sharp intake of breath, softly murmuring his name. Her back arched when she felt him dip one finger inside while his thumb circled the sensitive bundle of nerves. Slowly he curled his finger a little earning a little whimper in response. Reiner smirked as he slipped in a second finger causing the female to arch again, his thumb giving little flick to the nib of nerves.
“Reiner,” Sal practically whined before she realised it, Reiner had continued his attack and backed it up by kissing her collar bone before sucking and biting enough to leave a mark. She felt the vibration of a groan and the way his lips curved into a smirk. Reiner moved his lips only inches from her wet skin, his hot breath was sending tingles over her body.
“I love the way you say my name,” he breathed before capturing her lips with his while his fingers kept working her. The kiss became sloppy as Salida began to wriggle and move under his attack. Reiner couldn’t help but smirk into to the kiss as he removed his fingers and earned a moan of protest. He broke the kiss and looked down at the female. Cheeks flushed, nipples hardened and eyes hooded with want. Slowly bringing his fingers to his lips he made a show of sucking them clean, watching his lover’s mouth part in an almost silent moan.
Reiner didn’t wait for her request moving to pull of his sodden, green shirt. He didn’t get a chance to start untying his trousers as he felt gentle touch pulling at the band. The fact they were wet made it difficult to remove them with ease. Both of them ended up laughing by the time he was finally undressed.
Salida didn’t wait, one hand hooked around his neck bringing his face closer for a kiss while her other travelled down his abdomen, fingers tracing every curve before she felt the start of the little trail of hair there. She pressed her lips harder to his while her hand travelled lower, her fingers ghosting over him. She felt the hulking blond shiver and it was her turn to smirk.
Breaking the kiss but continuing her strokes she started to kiss his jawline, “Reiner…I want you,” she spoke between each kiss and felt him twitch slightly under her fingers while she spoke. She couldn’t repress the slight giggle but was cut short when she felt his large hands moving to grab her ass and hitch her up before her back hit the wall. On instinct her legs wrapped around his waist. The warm water was blocked by the man who now had her pressed firmly to the slippery tills.
Reiner gave a slight squeeze to her ass as she felt his erection rub against her. Sal let out a soft moan while Reiner let out a frustrated grunt. His honey eyes locked with her grey ones as he sheathed himself inside in one swift thrust. Salida arched her back and let out a gasp of delight at the feeling he always gave her. “R-Reiner,” she breathed. No matter how many times they’d done this it always amazing.
For his part Reiner let out a long sigh of contentment, the hand still resting on her ass moved slightly to let his thumb rub her hip, ready to move to that sensitive nub again, his other by her shoulder on the wall supporting both of them. “I’d almost forgot how good you felt,” he breathed by her ear sending a shiver through her. She might not admit it but she loved when he talked dirty to her.
Reiner started to move painfully slow. He needed to savour this. The feeling of Sal’s chest against his, the sound of her soft sighs with each movement he made, the way her hands kept gripping his shoulders and her neck was fully exposed to him, the make he’d left earlier claiming her as his.
“Reiner…Please,”
“Please what?”
Her eyes said it all but he wanted to hear it. “Please…I need you to…”
“Too what? This?” He kept his pace but moved his hand to catch the little nib of nerves, giving a soft circular stroke. A loud moan left her lips as she tried to rock her hips harder against his thumb and his erection. Instantly he moved his thumb and stopped his movements, his hands moved to hold her hips in place pinning her so she couldn’t do anything to help unless he said. It was killing him. He wanted to take her but he knew it was worth it. Seeing her so frustrated before seeing her come undone was such a turn on to him.
“What do you want me to do? Tell me.”
“I…I want you to fuck me,” she finally managed out, eyes locking with his and that was all he needed. Reiner crushed his lips against hers as he started to slam into her “Reiner!”
“Is this what you wanted?” he asked between grunts and thrusts. His body felt like it was one fire.
“Y-Yes,” she managed out in a strangled tone starting to move with him. It didn’t take long for that familiar warmth to start to form in the pit of her stomach. “R-Reiner,” she tried to speak but couldn’t. Her mind was being numbed by pure sensation.
She was on the edge and he could sense it. He tried to keep focused, his thrusts became deliberate and deep. He had to returned one hand to the wall to keep himself secured, his body the main thing keeping Salida pressed to the wall. “Come on, come undone for me,” Reiner managed to keep his voice a low growl as he continued.
That was it, his voice and those words combined with his movements sent her over the edge. Sal bit down on Reiner’s shoulder to keep her scream muffled. The way her muscles contracted around him would have been enough but he was determined to hold on, riding her through own orgasm before he’d reach his own release. It was all going to plan until she’d bit him. It sent him over the edge. His own groan muffled by Sal’s shoulder. The last thing they needed was someone to try disturbing them.
Salida still had her arms wrapped around his broad shoulders, her chest heaving against Reiner’s own until he released. Her head dropped to the nape of his neck giving soft kisses while she tried to calm her raising pulse. The last few spasms went through her body, milking Reiner as he finished his release. He’d ended up leaning more on the wall for support, his legs had almost given out when his own orgasm hit him but he’d managed to keep through it. His eyes were closed for a second as he focused on regaining his breathing.
“I love you,” Reiner spoke, finally coming back to his senses, his forehead rested against hers as his eyes locked with hers again. Sal’s breathing was returning to normal as she simply smiled. She didn’t say it… But what could he expect? “Let’s get out of here, you’ll end up like a prune,” he joked to cover any worry he had. Just like he always did.
“You can’t put those back on,” Salida stated as she’d finished pulling on her white leggings and nodded to the sodden pile of the clothes. “I’ll go and get some more,” she moved over and kisses his cheek before moving out of the wash room.
Reiner was still towel drying his hair when she came back. He’d lost track of how long they’d been in there and how long they had taken to ‘wash’ each other afterwards. The thought was enough to make him want her all over again, he felt himself harden just at the thought. He slowly got over that by remembering how she didn’t say it. How could she, he was still a monster?
“Here we go,” she offered him the clothes she’d got out from the boys dorm. “I think Marco may have heard us… or guessed at least. He gave me the weirdest smile when he saw me,” she moved to sit on the bench watching the muscles in his back as he pulled the shirt over. Her heart felt like it jumped just then.
“Thank you, and if he does it might make you visiting the dorm easier,” the German teased with a glance over his shoulder as he started fastening his trousers. Reiner moved to Sal when fully dressed and took her hands without asking. “Hmm, not to pruney from the water,” he chuckled. In the back of his mind the thought ‘she didn’t say it’ kept running through his mind.
“No, we should get back before we are missed…maybe tell Bertholdt and Annie?”
“Uh-huh,” Reiner started towards the door but stopped when he felt Salida’s hand pull on his and keep hold of it as they walked out of the girls shower room.
“Hey Reiner?… I love you too,” Sal smiled leaning to kiss his cheek, before resting her head on his arm.
Maybe people could love monsters.
