Reiner feels that too-long stare, glancing over to meet Eren's eyes. Ensuring that Eren is only looking, not lost. He likes feeling Eren's eyes on him, a stare that once rang warning bells now sparking something entirely different, warmth crackling in his chest. But he knows that Eren gets lost in his head sometimes, although the details of those moments remain a mystery.
Maybe someday, Eren will tell him. Maybe someday, Reiner will do the same.
He huffs a laugh at Eren's insistence about the cheeseburger. Eren is right: Reiner does want to try that. He doesn't argue about Eren paying, either, but he has a stipulation.
"All right," he agrees. "But I'll pay for the ice cream cake."
That seems only fair.
Reiner orders a cheeseburger with "everything," figuring he can remove things from the not-a-sandwich if he doesn't like them. (He doubts he'll feel the need to do so.) He also gets the mysterious onion rings, deep-fried chiles, and a blueberry milkshake.
Hopefully, the two of them end up liking milkshakes. Whatever they are.
Once Eren pays, Reiner accepts some weird disc that the cashier explains will "buzz" when their order is ready. (Reiner has no idea what that means, but it should be obvious enough, right?) Then he tugs Eren's hand toward an outdoor table, examining the disc as they make their way to their seats.
"Every time I think I'm caught up on the technology here, someone says something that makes no sense." Reiner shakes his head, gesturing with the disc. "All I can imagine is a buzzing bee."
