Anything past those first words—his name, his name—is completely lost to Reiner, heard but not processed. All he sees are those eyes seeing him. All he sees is his best friend. His partner. His fellow Warrior. His childhood companion. His Bertholdt, finally here. After so many months, Bertholdt is finally here.
Reiner's vision blurs with tears. He sucks in a half-gasp, half-sob, then all but throws himself forward, wrapping his arms around Bertholdt in a tight embrace. Burying his face in Bertholdt's shoulder. Breathing in a scent he would know anywhere, feeling a heat that perfectly matches his own. ]
You're here. [ Words pressed into Bertholdt's shirt, muffled but audible. ] You're here.
