1. where do you see yourself and reiner five years from now?
Still the same as now, hopefully. Maybe with a certain small, shiny, but beautiful accessory on our fingers 👀
2. does reiner snore in his sleep? if yes, how do you deal with it?
He doesn’t, he’s a good boy 🥰 and I hate snoring sounds 💀 however, if he’s really tired, he snores but it isn’t too loud. Just soft snores from a soft boy 💕
3. what are yours and reiner's favourite scents/smells?
This is cheesy but we like each other’s scents 🥺 I love to cuddle into him and breathe in his scent — sandalwood with a hint of spice. For him, I mostly smell of coconuts and vanilla with some floral notes.
4. do you and reiner always hold hands when you're out, and how do you two hold hands?
We always hold hands, even when it’s just walking together to our bedroom. We hold hands the normal way — our fingers intertwined with each other’s 🥰
5. does reiner like to eat your local cuisine, and what are his favourite dishes?
He likes nasi lemak with all the different textures and flavours. Teh tarik too! He’s rather adventurous when it comes to food and I love that because fussy eaters (unless it’s for a lifestyle reason like they’re vegan or for health reasons like allergies, diabetes, etc) are a pet peeve of mine 💀
Rei: Dory please, this is so cute!!!!!!. REINER WHERE YOU AT????? YOU GOTTA MARRY DORY THIS INSTANT, OR I'LL HIT YOUR HEAD WITH A BROOM.
Levi: Why are you women all obsessed with getting married and wearing a wedding ring? Not like getting married changes anything.
Rei: Oh god you men don't get it, do you? It's the STATUS. It is US telling the entire world that YOU ARE LAWFULLY TAKEN, and no one can steal you away. By law, YOU ARE MINE. And, the wedding ring seals everything. It's to fend off any other women who are thirsting over you, and you telling them you are OFF-LIMITS. Get it now? Hmm??
Rei: Ooooooh good thing!! Levi doesn't snore too hehe, but he frowns a lot when he sleeps. It's like he can't stop thinking about work even when he's asleep and I don't really like it. It feels like he's not getting a good sleep :(
Levi: Trust me, I am getting my sleep. I just can't control my frowning, can I? Reiner and this brat are the same. They snore really lightly when they are really tired. But Rei here has another bad habit. She unknowingly grinds her teeth when she's very tired and I have to wake her up sometimes because it worries me.
Rei: Dory please, I love the cheese!!!!!! Both your scents smell so lovely and warm!! It reminds me of the beach again haha. Maybe you two really need to get a beach house one day!
Rei: I love how Levi smells like too, he smells like peppermint and musk. And I love the smell of his cologne and after shave too, they both smell really fresh and clean.
Levi: Rei smells like a flower.
Rei: Awwww Dory, you and Reiner are just like Levi and I!!!!! I always make him hold my hand even we're at home hehe. When physical touch triumphs over everything!! And we intertwine our fingers when we hold hands too!!!
Levi: Tch. I never understood why you need to hold me even when we're at home. Will you die of you don't touch me?
Rei: That's so nice of Reiner!!!! I love a good nasi lemak with extra sambal belacan too 😍 and yes!! Teh tarik is great! But Levi isn't a fan, he finds it too sweet. He thinks kopi-o is the best.
Rei: Levi really loves Hainanese chicken rice!! He surprisingly has a good spice tolerance too, which makes me extremely happy, because we can eat loads of food together!
Levi: I sort of enjoy eating what you called fried carrot cake too. I like the black one. I like laksa too.
REI! I'm finally getting round to answering these I'm so sorry 🥺
1. How does your love nest with reiner look like?
Very minimalist and cozy. This is our bedroom 🥰
2. Who is the little spoon?
Usually me, because he likes to feel like he's protecting me. But sometimes when he's having a bad day, I'm his big spoon.
3. Does reiner get jealous when you spazz over idols/actors, and vice versa?
We don't, because we know that we're the only ones good for each other 😂💕
4. What are your handphone contact names for each other?
I just put him as 'Reiner 💕' while his is 'Dory 🥰'. When we first dated he did put me as 'Mrs Reiner Braun 😍' until Porco told him not to lmao
5. What colour do you associate him with, and why?
Warm, earth-tone colours because that's what I associate him with; warmth, stability, comfort 💕
6. Do you both have any fur kids?
We have a cat 🥰 we might want to adopt a puppy too!
Answering them below the cut because it's too long hehe
Rei: Awww nice!! Levi and I like things simple too, so our house is full of wooden tones and whites!! Here's how our bedroom looks like hehe. Levi sleeps on the left, and I sleep on the right, closer to the window! But we always just end up sleeping in the middle of the bed together.
Rei: Ahhhh I can't picture Reiner being the little spoon 😳 he seems... too... big to be the little spoon... 🤭
Rei: Levi likes being the big spoon! And I enjoy being the little spoon hehe. When we sleep, we always fall asleep cuddling in each other's arms hehe. But when we're awake, my leg is draped across Levi's waist, and Levi is lying in his other side hehe.
Levi: Did you know, this brat kicks people in her sleep?
Rei: I envy you guys!!!! I am a very jealous and territorial being lol, and I absolutely dislike it when Levi is looking at idols and actors. But then, he doesn't use them to make me jealous, or piss me off, so I'm fine with it. He's good, as long as he doesn't say they're prettier than me >:(
Levi: ... I have no comments.
Rei: Dory please, Mrs Reiner Braun is so cute 🥺 why did Porco tell him not to?? Hehe, my name for Levi is 'Bae 💚'!! But I'm going to change it soon hehe.
Levi: Rei forced me to change my contact for her to 'Rei Bae'.
Rei: Hey, but you like it too, don't you? You said it was cute.
Rei: Awwww, that's so sweet of you!!! Yeah, Reiner does remind me of earth tones. I think I told you before that Reiner reminds me of the sand on the beach xD
Levi: Why does that big beefy kid remind you of the beach?
Rei: Err... his hair colour...? And stop giving him weird nicknames. Oh and Dory! You remind me of caramrl brown hehe.
Rei: I always associate Levi to grey tones because of his eyes 🥰. To me, grey is a really warm colour too, and Levi looks really good in grey tones!!! You should see him in a dark grey suit, I nearly cried at how handsome he looked 🥺❤ C'mon Levi, tell them what colour I remind you of!
Levi: ... fine. To me, Rei is navy blue, and black. It's the colour of the sky late at night, and where the stars can shine bright. Without the night sky, the moon and stars won't be as beautiful as they are. Without Rei, I won't be who I am.
Rei: AWWWWWWW THAT'S SO CUTE. What's your cat's name?? And what's your cat's breed?? Are they friends with your two manja cats???
Levi: Manja?
Rei: I told you before what manja stands for... *facepalm*
Levi: Well, I may have forgotten. Anyway. Rei and I, we have three dogs and two bunnies. They're a handful, just like her.
Rei: We have a male German Shepherd called Haruma, a female black Shiba Inu called Hitomi, and a female Maltese called Hidemi!
Levi: Our rabbits, on the other hand, were unfortunately named after food. Our male Holland Lop is named Dango, and our female Netherland Dwarf is called Natto.
Rei: I always told Levi that if we can handle five pets without difficulty, we can definitely handle having children in the future hehe.
I am here to answer your self-shipping questions that you sent me!
How did you and Reiner meet?
I like to come up with all kinds of scenarios, but I love college AU so I'm going with that! We met through a mutual friend in college. I’d like to imagine that Bert and I are on the campus’s newspaper team, so we’d get to know each other pretty well and eventually become really good friends.
One day, Bert would say he’s having a party at his place and asked me if I’d like to go. At first, I’d deny because I won’t know anyone there, but he’d say “I’ll be there!” and I’d reluctantly agree. When I arrive at the party, Bert introduces me to his friend, Reiner, and we end up talking the entire night and exchanging numbers :)
Also, this might have been Bert’s plan to set us up all along because I work too hard and Reiner needs to put himself out there more.
Who confessed first?
Definitely Reiner. I’ll be too shy or scared to say it because I’ve been rejected before. But once he says it, I’ll be so happy and say it back to him.
What was the sweetest thing Reiner did for you?
He knew I had a rough day at work so the next day, he offers to take care of all my errands for me, telling me to just relax at home.
Does Reiner have any habits that piss you off?
Maybe... he never hangs his towel after using it to wipe himself dry after a shower. He'll just leave it on the bed, making the bed damp and gross.
Who wakes up first?
I think both of us, I can see us as early risers.
How do you two split chores?
We do it equally, on days when we're both off from work.
What do you do on stay-home days?
Cuddle and watch Netflix. We're both very lazy on our days off and just want to be together.
OMG DORY THESE ARE SO CUTE I AM SWOONING 😍
Oh please, I can totally see Reiner being a gentleman and accompanying you throughout the entire party!! He'll make sure the drunkards stay away from you!!
And omg, nooooo not the wet towel D: I agree, it's gross and yucky :x
And yes, Netflix and chill!!!! And sexytime..? 😏
I love these so much Dory thank you for sharing them!!!! ♡
Hello!! I shall answer your DMs! I feel like including both Reiner and Porco HAHA!
Which of you is the one who gets ready first? Does one of you get ready before the other, and if so, how does that work?
Reiner and I would get ready together. We'd also help each other, like I'll help him with his tie and he helps me to zip up my dress.
With Porco, he gets ready first because the man can spend up to 30 minutes on his hair lmao but if he knows I'm rushing, he lets me go first.
Do either of you have a specific routine when it comes to getting ready (either in the morning or at night) and how was it incorporating that routine together?
At night, I'd like to wind down and I imagine they like it too. Reiner likes to join me when I read; he'd lay down on my chest or cuddle up to me and I'll read out loud to him.
As for Porco, he likes to clean up. As in, after dinner, he wants to clean up the table and keep leftovers. If the coffee table in the living room is messy, he wants to make sure everything is neat and orgnaised. It calms his mind down.
Dory!!!! Omg yes you and Reiner are just #couplegoals #weddinggoals #modelcouple #coupleoftheyear
Yes totally envisioning you and Reiner getting ready together! You'll choose the colour of his tie and help him with it, while he zips up your dress and helps you choose your earrings.
And please, Levi is the same as Porco. He spends so much time doing his hair, he hogs up the bathroom. But since we are both early risers, we don't fight for the bathroom!!
Oohh yes, Reiner is so sweet URGH. He'll watch you read and probably fall asleep while listening your heartbeat 🥺
And I can see Pokko boy loving to clean, because Levi is like that too! Being clean and organised is really important because he loves things in order. As for me, I'll either be playing games, or doing my night time skin care routine. Sometimes Levi and I watch a movie and I'll force him to put on a sheet mask with me (◕‿◕✿)
Do you two have pet names/nicknames for each other?
He calls me darling or honey, while I call him sweetheart 💕
How does Reiner feel about pda??
He's okay with it, but he's rather reserved and the most he'd do is holding hands, his arm around my waist, and a kiss on the cheek/lips/forehead. When we are alone tho... 💀
Do you two have any couple items?
We have matching necklaces 🥺 I have one with his initials on it and his has mine on it.
Do you secretly check Reiner's phone when he's in the shower? 👀
While it would be tempting, I won't djfhjdf he'd tell me the passcode and everything but I won't peek because he trusts me and I don't want to break that trust.
OKAY DORY THIS REIREEN SHIP IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE OMG!!! Levi is napping so shhhh, don't wanna disturb him ☺
Firstly. Yep, I can see Reiner calling you by those classic sweet nicknames. Reiner the gentleman calling you honey 😌 Levi calls me "oi" and "brat" all the time grrr. But of course, he calls me Rei when he's feeling romantic hehe.
Thirdly. THAT. IS. SO. SWEET!!!! It's like, you both are together every day 💓 I'm allergic to metal and whatever so I can't wear jewelry :c So Levi and I have matching phone cases, matching phone wallpapers, matching shoes and clothes, matching spectacle frames etc hehe.
And lastly. I applaud you!!!! 👏 omg, how much willpower does it take for you to NOT check his phone???? I'm always secretly checking Levi's phone when he's in the shower. Don't tell him that shhhh
Do you and Reiner squabble often? If yes, what do you squabble about?
Over very silly things like where's the car key or remote, like "Why do you always forget where you kept the remote?" "Since you know I keep losing it, why don't YOU remember for me?"
How did Reiner ask you out?
He was very shy about it. He came up to me a blushing mess about weeks of texting and was stuttering it out. It was funny, because he's such a big, tough guy and he looked adorable. In the end, I was the one who asked him out instead and he nearly fainted lmao
How does Reiner's mum feel about you, and how do your family members feel about Reiner?
Tbh I don't think she'd like me very much at first because I'm not white but eventually she grew to see how much I love her son. Gabi loved me, she said it was like finally having a sister. My family loved him; my mum loved that he loved her food and my dad loved talking sports to him. They love that he's polite, a gentleman, and most importantly, they know he'll take care of me.
Rei: Omg totally get the squabbling part!!!!! This is me with Levi too. He'll nag at me when I spend too much buying groceries.
Levi: She'll tell me that it's because they're on offer. But then again, if we don't eat it, they're all just going to spoil.
Rei: DORY THAT. IS. SO. CUTE!!!!!! 🥺 OMG REINER IS SO SWEET. I cannot imagine him stuttering while confessing. It must have taken him a lot of courage!!!! I wonder if Porco took a photo of Reiner blushing hehe.
Levi: Tch. Didn't know that blonde beefy boy had such a side to him.
Rei: Omg, I totally get what you mean. Parents always take time to come to terms with who we are dating but then again, they'll definitely give us their blessings!
What was the most memorable date you and reiner had?
We went star-gazing. He prepared a picnic basket, brought some blankets, and set up a cosy little spot at the back of his pick-up truck. That day, I was feeling particularly stressed with work and the little gesture made me so appreciative of him. Plus, we saw a shooting star that night and made a promise to always love each other.
How was your first date with reiner?
It was in a little cafe which he looked up and discovered that served the best sandwiches. It was a simple, casual first date that didn't put that much pressure on us. We met after class on a Friday afternoon. We were both obviously nervous, but I think he had it worst lmao
But since then, we have never stopped talking to each other 💕
Is it hard buying or choosing a birthday gift for reiner?
He's a very simple guy, he'd be happy even without a gift. But I love to spoil, so I'd either observe him to see what he's been eyeing or ask him what he wants. If he doesn't know, I'll probably make him something or get him something sentimental.
Rei: Omg that is so sweet. Star-gazing is so romantic!!!!!!! Levi brought me star-gazing once too and I really enjoyed it. It was absolutely breathtaking. But, I spent half the time swatting mosquitoes because I kept getting stung ;~~~;
Levi: Are you blaming me?
Rei: Did I say that? >:( but omg I'm so envious!!! Seeing a shooting star!!! Wow!! And yes you and Reiner's love will definitely last forever hehe 💓
Rei: That's so cute!!! Ahhh I can't imagine Reiner and you blushing while getting to know each other better on your first date!!! Please tell me either of your friends (*cough* Porco) were stalking you two and took a photo!!
Levi: I absolutely hope not, because Erwin wanted to stalk us on a date before and I'm glad I told him no.
Rei: Ooh Levi's like that too. He's actually really easy to please. We're both not that big into gifting so we hardly splurge on gifts!!! The most expensive thing I ever bought for Levi was probably a watch too hehe.
Levi: Likewise, I bought her a watch to go along with mine.
Rei: I'm more of the type to make my own gifts for Levi, such as cards and handicraft etc. He actually displays my diy gifts in his office desk and also in his study room!
Levi: And I'm the type to pamper her with my actions instead.
Yes, but mostly to babysit Gabi, Falco, and the kids. When Colt takes over, we just spend the night in while handing out candy to trick or treaters. Gabi gets embarrassed by us at times because we go as super cheesy couple costumes like Salt & Pepper and Netflix & Chill 😂
2. Ever gone to a Halloween party in a couple costume together with reiner?
Apart from the super cheesy ones? Yeah 😂 but they’re very basic like knight & princess, Reiner as James Bond and me as a random Bond Girl, Superman & Lois Lane
3. Who is the scaredy cat, you or reiner?
Me, even though I love watching horror movies. He has given up trying to stop me and instead acts as my pillow to hide into 💀
Rei: Yay!!! DORY!!! You're here again!!!
Levi: Tch. Why are we having so many visitors recently? Do you all want to spread germs and pathogens around so badly?
Rei: Levi, what the hell????
Rei: Dory!!!! Omg HAHAHAH that is so cute. Must be tough taking care of the kids, eh?
Levi: Tch. Brats will always be brats.
Rei: Okay but don't Gabi and the kids dress up too??? I can imagine her trying to make Falco couple with her and, uhhhh, Falco blushing terribly 🤭
Rei: Okay but that's so cute!!! Do you decide the costumes, or did Reiner have a say too? I know Mr Grumpy Ass here never makes a decision. He always leaves it to me.
Levi: What else can I say? If I say just dislike it, you're going to whine and force me to wear whatever you want anyway.
Rei: Yeah you are my Mr Right, but I'm Mrs Always Right. So shhh.
Levi: Since when did you decide to be a 'Mrs'?
Rei: ... Anyway!! Levi and I love dressing up as cheesy couple costumes too. Going as Robin and Starfire was probably one of the best we ever did. Erwin was Cyborg, Mike was Beast Boy, and Hange was Raven. It. Was. So. Fun!!!
Levi: Tch. You women are so annoying. This four-eyed brat here is a total scaredy cat that doesn't dare to watch anything horror. So we avoid it at all costs. If I wanted to watch anything horror, I'll crash at Mike's. Or Erwin's.
Rei: Friendly reminder that Moblit and Hange are also like me, so don't single me out you meanie!!!
