For the Reibert Week prompt “childhood.” Though the story extends beyond childhood. 

Summary: Before Reiner and Bertholdt shared their first kiss on the lips, they shared six other kinds: a forehead kiss, blown kiss, hand kiss, cheek kiss, emoji kiss, and top of the head kiss.

This chronicles each of them spanning from childhood to high school. As well as the times Reiner really wanted to kiss Bertholdt but couldn’t work up the nerve.
