Warmth [BertholdtXreader part 2]

I woke up the next morning and rolled over. I was still warm. I opened my eyes and Bertholdt's feet were staring me right in the face. Reiner stared at them as well. We both followed Bertholdt's body with our eyes. He was sleeping the other way. He looked quite comfortable where he was.
  "Does he always sleep like this?" I asked Reiner.
  "Yeah but this is pretty good compared to how he woke up yesterday morning." Reiner said quietly laughing.
  "How did he wake up yesterday?" I asked.
  "He had his feet in my face. It's a good thing they don't smell." Reiner said.
  Bertholdt rolled over and sat up. He looked back and forth between us. A small blush came to his face. I gave him a small smile and Reiner just laughed at him.
  The door burst open and Eren stood their panting in his boxes. He looked straight at me and sighed in relief. Reiner, Bertholdt and I exchanged confused looks.
  "What's wrong Eren?" Reiner asked pulling back the covers.
  Eren looked at me and his face went bright red. The covers had come off me. I looked down at noticed my nighty had ridden up over the night and my underwear were showing. I quickly pulled the covers over my body.
   “What’s wrong Eren?” I asked again making sure to focus his attention back on why he came in here.
   He cleared his voice. “We thought you went missing, well Levi and Hanji nearly freaked out when we couldn’t find you but at least you’re safe.” Eren said sighing. “We all thought you were in your room we didn’t expect you to be in here.”
    “Bertholdt offered since everyone ignored me when I asked to share their beds during winter.” I said lying back down and rolling over.
    I felt a rough hand grab me by my ponytail and drag me from my bed. I looked up and saw Levi and Hanji standing over me.
    “Tell us where you are hiding next time brat.” Levi said glaring at me.
   “You hold important information so don’t go running off like that again (name).  Are you going to be staying in this room all winter?” Hanji asked.
      I looked over at Bertholdt and Reiner. They both nodded with a smile. I looked back at Hanji and nodded. She gave me a smile before walking out. Levi let go of my hair and followed her out. I let out a sigh of relief. Did I forget to mention that Levi, Hanji and Erwin treasured me for the same reason that everyone thought I was weird.  I was up on the special scale with Eren but not in the same way.
     I stood up and pulled my nighty down. “Breakfast time?” I asked.
    Bertholdt nodded and got up. Reiner pushed passed me him in a playful way. Bertholdt quickly threw on a jersey. No one ever got into their uniform to have breakfast. It was a bit of a waste of time especially when you were still half asleep and would drop food on yourself.
    We found a table and sat down. People started whispering and looking at Bertholdt, Reiner and I but I knew it was something to do with me. I grabbed my tray and went to stand up but Bertholdt gently pushed me back down.
    “Don’t leave, we don’t mind.” Bertholdt said kindly.
    I gave him a small smile. “Are you sure? I don’t want you guys to be treated like I am.” I said.
   Reiner laughed and gave me a big friendly smile. “We don’t care but can I ask why everyone thinks you’re weird?” Reiner asked.
   “I thought you guys would’ve known. It spread like wild fire.” I said.
   Bertholdt was the one to speak. “Yeah we do but we want to know the real story. We don’t want to hear the rumours.”
    “When we were helping take back Trost, I became cornered and my gear had stopped working. I thought I was going to die. I started begging for mercy and to live. The Titan stopped advancing on me. It cocked its head at me like it understood me. At this point I was confused and scared.” I explained.
     Reiner was watching me with excitement. “What happened next?” He asked like an excited child.
    “I walked forward. I asked the Titan if it could understand me and it nodded. I then asked for its name and this is when it got weird. It kneeled down and started to write its name in the dirt. I couldn’t really read but that to me was really strange. I didn’t know what to do so I made it attack another Titan which it did without ease.” I said quietly.
    “So everyone thinks you’re strange because you can talk to Titans.” Bertholdt asked.
    I nodded and looked down sadly. “I didn’t ask to be able to do that, it just happened. I joined the Recon Corps in hope of finding a better life than I had. My parents died when I was younger. They both got really sick and one morning they didn’t wake up.” I said quietly.
    I had never cried about it but now I think back on it I was being selfish. I didn’t want to hurt myself when I cried so I didn’t. Bertholdt touched my shoulder gently and gave me small smile. I looked over at Reiner and he was smiling at me as well.
     “I don’t care if you can talk to Titan’s you’re a really nice person who deserves to be treated better.” Bertholdt said.
     “You can have a better life here now. If I knew you were such an awesome person I would've talked to you earlier. We won’t judge you (name).” Reiner said.
     “Thank you, both of you. It’s nice to have some friends.” I smiled and started eating my breakfast.
    Throughout breakfast people kept whispering and looking at us. Bertholdt and Reiner weren't bothered by it; they carried on eating like nothing was happening. I kept my head down and carried on eating.
    There was nothing for the Recon Corps to do; winter was such a quiet time of the year. It was way too dangerous for anyone to go out beyond the walls. I went back to my room and got dressed; it was so quiet and cold. I sat on my bed in my skirt and jersey. I looked out the window and watched the snow fall.
     I pressed my hand up against the cold glass. My hand left a mark. I gave a small smile and looked at the snow flutter down.
    “Mum, dad I found friends. There is still hope for me yet.” I said just above a whisper.
    A knock came at the door, Reiner and Bertholdt popped their heads through the door and smiled at me.
    “Snowball fight?” Reiner asked.
    I nodded and followed after them.
