"(Y/N)! Please check on Falco! His head is bleeding and he doesn't know what is going on!" Colt yelled holding his little brother in his arms, clearly out of breath from carrying him. You could see the blood running down Falco's face

"Put him down on bed four." You replied to him while quickly finishing up wrapping another soldier's leg and eye wound. Colt laid Falco down on the cot in your makeshift medical tent standing by his side trying to talk to him. You walked over to Colt and asked, "So what happened exactly?" as you began inspecting Falco's head.

"I am not exactly sure. I just saw him lying on the ground and rushed to his aide. I ran back here as I— ", Colt said before being cut off by Commander Magath calling for him. You could tell by his eyes that he didn't want to leave his brother side but if he stayed, he would be in big trouble with the commander.

You reached out grabbing his hand saying, "It'll be okay. I will take care of Falco. You go on", in a gentle voice.

"Thank you", he replied with a smile before running out to report to the commander.

"Hey Falco. Are you okay? It is me (Y/N)", you said as you wrapped his head.

"Where am I? I don't get it. Wasn't I just flying around with a couple of swords in my hands?" You looked at him shocked. "Whoo. Like that. And there were Titans, too —". You snapped your fingers in front of his face to get him out of the trance he was in.

Oh no. Hopefully there is no brain damage you thought before talking to him again. "I can see that you are a little out of it. Let me explain what is going on. We are currently at Fort Slava fighting against the Middle East. We have been for the past four years now. If we can win this battle, we can finally end the war. We can finally —", you were cut off by someone yelling Falco's name. You both turn towards the owner the the voice.

"Falco! Get out here right now. I want you watch me make history. I am about to do something to awesome that it'll definitely lock in my spot as the next in line for the Armored Titan", Gabi yelled while parading into the tent with a big grin on her face.

"What do you mean?" He replied.

She smirked, crossing her arms over her chest before saying "Just wait and see." She walked back out of the tent motioning with her hand for Falco to follow her. Falco looked at you basically asking for permission to leave with his eyes. You give him a nod telling him to take it easy.

After the two left, you starting checking up on the other wounded soldiers you have in your tent. You walked up to the soldier you were taking care of right before Colt came in with Falco. You sat in a chair next to his cot placing two pills in his hand and a glass of water motioning for his to take them.

"What are these exactly?" he asked looking at you before inspecting the two little pills. This was the first time you heard him speak since he was brought into the tent four days ago. It made you smile knowing that he is starting to talk to you. Other wounded soldiers you dealt with that have been as severally injured as him often times were too traumatized to talk let alone make eye contact.

"They are to make sure your leg and eye don't get infected. You have been through a lot already and the last thing you need is to get an infection", you paused for a second looking him in the eyes. You could tell he had something on his mind weighing him down. "Just rest now. Try not to worry right now and focus on getting better", you replied. Shortly after, he put the pills in his mouth followed by drinking the glass of water. You asked him if he would like more water to which he replied with a nod. You quickly got up, glass in hand, and began walking over to the water fill station. You felt him grab your hand startling you a little. You turned to look at him again titling your head in a way that asks what is it that you may need.
