Armin
I slightly open my eyes to let in the light, the sun shines throughout my room. It's warm, I'm warm.
Am I dead?
Is this the after life?
It's so nice here.
"Armin?"
I turn my head and see Eren sitting up in his chair next to my bed.
"Eren? Are you dead too?"
"What- no you aren't dead and niether am I."
I'm not dead?
I start to sit up but soon realize that wasn't the best idea. Eren laughs a little as I lay back down. I stare at the ceiling for a while and think.
I'm alive, my tumor is out, my brain is fine, and now I'm in recovery. I'll be able to leave soon. But the fact of the matter is that what I said two weeks ago still stands.
"You're all gonna die and then I'll be alone."
But I don't want to think about that right now, right now I want to be with Eren.
"Armin?"
"Yes Eren?"
"Do you like dogs or cats better?"
Easy answer, cats, Eren seems like a dog person. I can already see us arguing about which is better. "Cats, and I stand by that Eren don't try to change my mind."
"What if I want a dog?"
"Then we can get both if they grow up together they'll be fine." His eyes light up at my words, I think he's surprised that I was also planning for the future when technically we're still just friends. "A small dog though, nothing too big."
"What about for protection?"
"That's what you're there for."
Eren grabs my hand and we lace our fingers together. I want this to last forever, I want to forget that my dying friends are down the hall and that the guy I wanted to be with has a failing heart. "Eren?" He hums in response to me saying his name. "Are you scared?" I've already asked this question before but I just want to know if his answer has changed.
"Yes."
Hange
Did I just eavesdrop on that whole conversation? Yes. But now I finally have an actual answer as to why Eren hasn't asked him out yet. He's scared. Not scared to ask but scared he's going to die. But I refuse to let that happen, he has a chance and I'll make sure he gets it.
"Hange your shift is over, go home you've been working all night. Get some rest then come back in tonight, I'm sure your husband misses you." Hitch says in a sweet caring tone, which is very unusual for her. I nod and say my goodbyes to the other nurses then head out of the building.
On the drive home I start to think, what if I just moved Eren up on the list myself? Moblit could probably hack the system for me.
I pull up to my small yellow house and unlock the door. Moblit is sitting on the couch reading a book when I get in the living room. I plop down on the couch and rest my head on his lap. "Hypothetically If I asked you to hack the hospitals computers to save a patient, would you do it?" I ask nicely to better my chances of him saying yes.
He closes the book and sets it down, letting out a loud breath in the process. "Honey, you do know that's illegal right? And I could lose my job."
"Yes Moblit I know that but all I need you to to do is get into the system and then I'll just put Eren's name a little higher. If I get in trouble I won't even mention your name, and they can't fire me cause I'm the head of the nursing department."
"They can still fire you."
"They can?!" I sit up and stare at him.
"Yes Hange they can." He sighs.
"Well they won't cause I'm the best nurse there."
"What about the other people on the list, they're dying too?" I hate it when he makes sense cause then I have to change my plan.
"I won't put him above everyone just a few I swear!"
"Fine..."
"YES! I knew I married you for a reason!" I cheer, he rolls his eyes and smiles at me jumping up and down before he goes back to his book.
