Biting your nails in anxiety, you waited at home just as you were demanded by your husband. You say demanded but it was more of a gentle pleading, he had been gone for two days but all your friends from the scouts promised you not to go.
Every night was closely like this one. He'd be off to battle and not show up for an entire week with you crying about the possibility of his death. He was a man too good for this world, too good for you or anyone.
And so, today had been a rollercoaster of emotions. At first, you were pacing back and forth then you went to cuddle his clothes, even cooking him dinner despite knowing there'd be a very slim chance he'd come back today.
"Fuck!" You dramatically collapsed on the sofa, massaging your twitching forehead. If only... if only you lived in a normal world with no titans, he would be a bookworm with an ordinary life and you wouldn't have to flip a coin to convince yourself that he wasn't dead.
You were going insane with all this execution stuff, you wouldn't be able to bear it. In fact, you're more likely to be killed with him since if it ever happened, you'd scream and hit at whoever was in charge of publicly killing him.
Just as you were about to go get his clothes again, a knock at the door caused your heart to pounce. Was it him?! Or... was it the guard coming to alert you of his misfortunate fate?
Ignoring your messy thoughts, you ran clumsily to the door and pulled it open with an unspeakable speed.
The sight in front of you completely silenced your thought track, your jaw dropping.
"He's... pardoned." Nile Dok, one of his former friends had Erwin's arm slung over his shoulder. Your husband was bloodied and bruised, his usually slicked-back hair swishing around his forehead.
Instantly, you took the tall blond from him and helped him lay down on the couch, thanking Nile Dok for bringing him back.
Although Erwin was in really bad shape, you thanked the heavens for his pulse, for his opening eyes. You kneeled on the floor to look directly at him, your palm softly caressing his bruises and avoiding the black eye. "Erwin..." you choked.
He hadn't said anything, only shooting you a weak smile. "I wish this shit was all over but... you're alive! God, you're alive!" You sobbed to him. The corner of your lips arched up with tears rolling down your cheeks.
It seemed as if Erwin was in a state of confusion but he could tell that he was back at home with you. Safe and warm, unlike the cold vandalised cells of the prison he was beaten in. It was all better, even the pain in his ribs and his sore face seemed to calm down. For some reason, it didn't throb when you touched him. He liked it.
It was a slow recovery but you helped him every day, with ordinary tasks one would usually have no problem doing by themself. You spoon-fed him despite his perfectly working arm, washed him gently and making sure it wouldn't affect certain hurt places.
At night, you'd hold him close to you and whisper words of affirmation in his ear. Erwin curled up in your arms and nuzzled his face in the crook of your neck for comfort. His black eye was slowly becoming better but it was still swollen. You tangled your fingers in his hair and kissed his head.
It was like taking care of a lost puppy, he was able to be vulnerable around you.
The next day, you helped him wash up. "Put your arm up." You request of him with the soapy lufa in your palm. He smirked and playfully asked, "Which one?"
"The only one you have left." You teased and put it up for him. He grinned like a child and let you clean him up. "You keep staring at me." You laughed sheepishly and snatched the towel from the hamper, drying him.
"You're very beautiful, honey." He said in between the ruffles of the towel rubbing on his hair and neck. He shut an eye as you did. "And you're very handsome, but no. I'm not letting you work today"-
"I wasn't trying to!"
"I know you too well, Erwin." You helped him get changed and kissed his swollen eye as you did his shirt.
He said nothing but smiled. You had taken such care of him when all he provides you with is anxiety and tears. He didn't like seeing you in pain so this moment was precious to him.
His slender and calloused palms cupped your face and before you knew it, his lips softly landed on yours, sweetly kissing you. Erwin departed slowly and lightly chuckled at your blush.
