Jean and I wake up early together after going to sleep early, tired from the work week. We feed our dog Murphy, make some smoothies, and take him for a walk. We find out there's a food market and drop off the pupper then head back out and see what we can find, eating a combination of breakfast, lunch and snacks, and bringing some goodies home. I ask Jean if a nap is in order shortly but the phone rings so, we're going to the movies with friends. Might nap during the movie 😆.
Rei!! I'm here with @charlotteplsdosth for the Valentines event! Our men Reiner and Jean are taking us out to an old movie theater to see a classic black and white movie, like Roman Holiday.
We'd like to dress up a bit, she would like a A line shape dress with a tight waist around just below the knee, preferably coral/beige and a light shawl!
I like long empire dresses with some sort of sleeve and a belt, either solid color or something patterned like horizontal stripes, with darker colors. (I hope that's not all too much just go with whatever LOL)
If it's hard to come up with interactions for the four of us we're not bothered if you keep the boys and the girls separate with a little interaction. Whatever you like. Thank you!
Good day my dear Eliza!! This is an interesting request XD I've never written for Reiner, I've never written a double date, and I've certainly not watched any old movies before. And since you're the requester, I'll write this in your POV hehe.
Here is Charlotte's outfit and her shawl, and over here is yours! I hope you two enjoy your lovely date night with your mans~
Rei's Ask Games: Valentine's Day Special (closed!!)
"Charlotte! Reiner! Over here!" You excitedly waved your hand when you saw the couple alighting from their car, beaming when they approached you.
You and your good friend Charlotte planned for this double date for the longest time ever as it was hard to find a day that could match everyone's schedules. Not only so, but it was also hard to get the two men to agree on going on a double date.
"You both are going to be so noisy," your boyfriend, Jean, grumbled when you first told him about the idea of a double date, "you are just going to talk to Charlotte non-stop and forget all about me." You giggled at his childishness and hugged him while he continued sulking, giving Murphy chin scratches while you both lounged on the couch. Murphy yelped a satisfied little bark.
"Why are you men all the same?" You laughed louder and Jean frowned. "Charlotte just told me over the phone that Reiner said the same thing to her."
It was Jean's turn to laugh, "because that's exactly what's going to happen."
"Well, Reiner is there too, you can talk to him non-stop." You teased Jean while he scoffed.
Nonetheless, you both decided to go on a double date to watch Roman Holiday. What made it even better was that it was on Valentine's Day as well. It was a classic black and white movie, and you decided to dress up for the event in a lovely purple empire dress. You made Jean dress up in a nice blazer and trousers too.
"Looking good, princess," Jean smiled as he saw you exiting the room. You twirled around and let him admire your outfit.
"You look good yourself too, handsome." Kissing Jean on the cheek, you grabbed your bags and put on your shoes as Jean locked the door, walking you over to the car.

"Charlotte! Reiner! Over here!" You exclaimed once they came close, muttering 'be nice' to Jean under your breath while he pursed his lips. Charlotte and you excitedly hugged each other, complimenting the other's outfit. The two men gave each other a friendly handshake and a pat on the shoulder.
"You look lovely, Charlotte!" You were in smiles. Charlotte wore a pretty coral dress which fit her perfectly. Her long hair was in a twisted half updo too, and it complemented her outfit.
"You look good yourself, too, Liza!" Charlotte chimed as Reiner came over to say hi.
"Hi Reiner," you greeted as Charlotte waved to Jean, "thanks for agreeing to this! It took Jean a few days of convincing." Jean scowled as you hugged him while Charlotte laughed. Reiner scratched his neck and gave you a small smile.
"I'm not gonna lie. It took Charlotte a while to convince me to agree to this double date." Everyone laughed, and Jean gave Reiner a knowing smile. Once all formalities were exchanged, the four of you then made your way into the cinema, stopping by the counter to purchase some snacks. Jean and you got a large caramel popcorn and two cups of iced lemon tea, while Charlotte and Reiner got some nachos with cheese and two cups of coca-cola.
All of you went inside and took your seats at the centre row. Jean sat on the left while you sat on his right. Charlotte took her seat beside you, and Reiner was on her right.
"Try not to fall asleep," you heard Charlotte mutter to Reiner, and you tried your hardest to suppress a giggle. Jean couldn't wait and was already munching on some popcorn. Soon, the cinema started filling up with more audiences, and the lights started to dim. You excitedly grabbed Jean's hand, looking forward to the movie.
»»————- ————-««
"The movie was great, wasn't it?" You asked Charlotte while the ending credits rolled, waiting for the crowd to exit the cinema. Charlotte nodded her head in agreement as you both continued to discuss the movie in detail, forgetting that your dates were waiting for the both of you to leave. You took a glance at the time flashed on your phone screen. The night was still young. You turned to Jean, mumbling something into his ear, and he gave you a small smile.
"Hey, Charlotte, do you and Reiner have any plans after this?"
"Hmm," she turned to look at Reiner and they both shook their heads, "not really."
"Great! Do you want to join Jean and I for dinner? We know a great place that sells really good Italian food." You chimed while Charlotte turned to Reiner again.
"I don't think we should impose—"
"No worries, man," Jean cut Reiner off, "just join us. Besides, the ladies still have much to talk about, am I right?" He laughed as everyone stood up and exited the cinema together.
"Let them talk all they want so that we can have a peace of mind tonight." Jean joked again, earning a frown from you and a hearty laugh from Charlotte. Reiner had his arm around Charlotte's waist.
"Yeah, sure, let's go for dinner together." Reiner agreed once you were all walking towards the car park. "Text us the address and we'll see you there?" With a nod, you and Jean parted ways with the couple and made your way over to the restaurant with a huge smile on your faces.
Hello Mia! How are you and Erwin? Are you doggies well? (I know you have a Corgi but can't remember the other breed! Is it a Golden?)
What's your favorite time to walk them? Morning or evening? When you can, do both you and Erwin go?
I can picture the whole neighborhood smiling when seeing The Smiths all out together. You get hellos and waves from husbands and wives doing yardwork or out walking as well.
The kids jump off their bikes to come pet the puppies. I hope they're ready for lots of grabby hands!
Neighbors Miche and Nanaba remind you of the block party Sunday. You're all ready with some famous recipes. Soon, dogs, kids and adults will be out mingling, eating and playing games on yards and in the street.
Ah! I wanna come!
Lizaaaa!! hey heyyy! The way my face lit up after seeing this ask :')
Heellooo! Human and Puppy Smiths are all doing great! What about the Kirsteins?
Yes, we have a Corgi and a Golden Retriever named Cappuccino and Albus. Cappy is Albus' annoying, mean little brother. But Albus only sees the good in him and they're inseparable!
We walk them multiple times a day! Erwin is usually out and about at the crack of dawn and takes Albus with him on his morning run. Cappy, who is very much like me, is neither a morning pupper, nor a runner.
There have been multiple instances when he decided to plop on to the ground because he got tired (about 10 minutes into the run) and Erwin had to carry him home. His chonky little legs were not made for running :') So, I take him for his morning business when I wake up a couple hours later.
The whole family is heads out together in the evenings when we're both finished with work. We take a nice, leisurely walk around the neighborhood and mingle with our neighbors.
We bump into @flamingblinglove and Levi almost every evening while they too are walking their dogs! Renee, Pierre, Leon, Theo, Isaac and Ari have a blast paying with the five enthusiastic pets! (its a mini party every day!)
Miche and Nana did remind us of the block party! I hope you and Jean are coming tooo! Rei and Levi RSVPed, and I know @sckerman and Armin are coming too. I'm not giving @charlotteplsdosth and Reiner an option to drop out of this one!
Do you and Jean have any pets? what does your time with them look like?
She doesn’t like doing most chores, but she has no problem doing laundry. Mostly because she isn’t used to having clean clothes!
Has long and curly hair that’s a rich mahogany color, and hoards hair ties and scrunchies so she has a surplus in case any break. She thought about chopping off early during the outbreak, but her sister convinced her to just leave it be but tie it up when traveling and such.
She doesn’t really celebrate birthdays because she tends to take one day at a time, but when her sister Beth knows a milestone birthday is coming, she gives her a bottle of her favorite shampoo so she can wash her hair, lol.
It was one of the last days they spent together before Beth got bit :(
They were on the strip, Las Vegas when it happened.
Literally her favorite thing ever is to sit on Joel’s lap. He calls her “darlin” and her heart just melts.
Good morning! In my self ship world Jean and I have 2 girls, Jane Eloise who is almost 5 (she looks more like me) and Lavinia Claire (who looks more like Jean) who is 3, a yellow lab named Murphy who was with us before the girls arrived and a striped cat named Henry that the girls named when we got him. We love going for walks in the park and story time at home and the library. Jane is in gymnastics class and Lavinia loves cheering on her big sister and is freaking out Jean by wanting ice skating lessons so she can learn to play hockey. Today we are all baking breakfast in the kitchen. It's quite the mess with the girls helping but that's all the fun too. Lavinia is feeding Henry pieces of cheese and Murphy is hoping Jean will drop him some more goodies. Jane is helping me the most at this point 😆.
Hope your real and and self ship day are going just as well ❤️.

Let me know if you want more like this. More questions, less? My answers below!
Going with my modern day SS Jean! And if I had done any of these in the past and changed my answers, never mind LOL
1 Who is the better cook?
*Sigh* Him. His mom is an amazing cook and he learned from her. I bake better though!
2 Who takes longer showers?
Me. My hair is longer and I like to stand there and think haha
3 Who is more organized?
Meeeee!! A place for everything please! He doesn't care quite as much.
4 Who generally spends more money?
Probably me. I do more food shopping and go on random splurging. He can do it too sometimes though.
5 Who likes sleeping in more?
Him. Though it's close. I get in a pattern of waking up early but he can sleep later on weekends.
6 Who is the better driver?
Him. Better because I make him drive everywhere. He doesn't usually have road rage and is much better on the highway.
7 Who is the most stubborn?
Wow that's hard. Um, me. But only by half a perfect.
8 Who is the most romantic?
Him. He loves cuddles and pet names and I don't think about it as much. Oops.
9 Who is more laid back?
Me. I really try not to stress and more things bother him.
10 Who is more likely to ask for directions?
Me. I don't want to get lost. Unless we're at a grocery store then it's him cause I don't want to bother the employees.
11 Who is the blanket hog?
Me. Even though I get hot I like the sheet and he's usually warmer than I am.
12 Who is more likely to lose their phone?
Him. He'll just set it down and get distracted and make me call him to find it.
13 Who initiated the first kiss?
Him. We were both nervous but he went for a sweet goodnight kiss finally :)
14 Who fell in love first?
Him. That's what he says anyway. I was in like but very unsure and he was VERY sure.
15 Who planned the honeymoon?
Me! With his help though, but he let me make most the decisions.
4 Which one is more protective? Who needs to be ‘protected’?
Jean is very protective of me. If he thinks anything is bothering me he wants to help right away. This could be a work problem or something tiny that I've been overthinking or, if it ever came to it, he'd throw hands with someone. However, he finds out I'm equally protective of him, getting him out of his own head at times. I'd fight and lose for him too. He's probably the more protective one because he wants to be and I kind of like it :) but I won't hesitate to take care of him.
9 What are their thoughts on having children?
Ohhh sneaky haha okay so I have never really saw myself as a mom. More of the cool aunt. Jean wants children though. He wants his own and even mentioned adoption. It's a long talk we have to have obviously. I am more open to adoption but as we go along the thought of having kids with someone I see myself with forever becomes something I think of a lot. He's never pushed me but is thrilled when I tell him I'm ready and want to try. He then worries I'm doing it for him but I assure him this is for us. I won't go into details hehe but we wind up with 3 kids that are the light of our lives.
