“Oh, by the way, Gabi will be spending the weekend with us.” Reiner uttered after he swallowed the bite of lasagna Bertholdt had made for dinner.
“She is?
“Mhm.”
“It’s been so long since we’ve last had her over.” Bertholdt reminisced, a fond smile tugging at his lips when thinking about his husband’s cousin.
“I know. I wonder where we could take her to on Saturday? Sunday will be for pancakes, blanket-fortress and watching Moana for, the twentieth time.” Reiner sighed, but couldn't help the content smile quirking the corners of his mouth.
“We’ll let her choose. Although, I have an inkling that she’ll ask us to take her to the zoo–”
“–to see the Meerkats because they’re so freakishly cute.” They said in unison, both breaking into a goofy grin.
Bertholdt loved having Gabi around. When he first started dating Reiner, she had been a bit wary whenever she was around him. But with time, she eventually warmed up to him. He adored her, and Bertholdt would feel his heart melt whenever he’d see how good Reiner is with her. He was a perfect cousin and he was more than certain that he’d be a perfect father if they ever decided to have children.
Once they finished their dinners and placed their empty plates on the coffee table, they settled themselves back comfortably in their sofa and snuggled each other for warmth.
He loved Gabi with all his heart, but there was no harm in enjoying some peace and quiet with his husband before the fun, albeit perhaps slightly chaotic weekend that awaits them.
