During Y/N's recovery, Erwin noticed that she had been zoning out more frequently. She always had a habit of doing it when she was working through a problem with her work, but lately she almost never left Erwin's room let alone went to work. At seemingly random times, he would find her staring at nothing with a blank look on her face. Sometimes she would chew at her bottom lip in the process. She would get so lost in her thoughts that she wouldn't notice the things going on around her. It worried him more and more every time he found her like that.

As they walked to her room hand in hand, Y/N had fallen deep into her mind. She didn't say a word, and her body seemed to be moving on muscle memory alone. He desperately wanted to know what she was thinking, but he didn't want to push her.

Erwin pressed his lips together while he debated yet again whether or not he should say something.

Did I make her uncomfortable by asking her to move into my room?

"Little one?"

She didn't hear him.

He said a little louder, "Y/N?"

She blinked and looked up at him. "What?"

"Are you okay?"

"Oh yeah," she sighed. "I just realized most of my plants are probably in really bad shape by now. It's been two weeks since I watered them last, some even longer."

Y/N opened the door to her room.

"About that..."

Y/N stopped in the doorway. She had expected to see a graveyard of plants, but instead almost all of her plants looked exactly the same. Some were a little droopy, some had brown tips, but absolutely none were dead.

"I don't..." she turned to Erwin. "I don't understand."

He was looking at her rather sheepishly. He rubbed the back of his neck as a blush spread across his cheeks.

"I hope you don't mind, but I've been watering them."

Y/N's mouth hung open.

"When we brought you home, I didn't want you to worry about anything other than healing."

Without a word, Y/N inched her way inside. She moved around the room, briefly looking at each plant as she went.

Why isn't she saying anything?

"I don't really know anything about caring for plants. Only what you've told me, so I only watered them when the soil felt dry. I'm sorry if I overstepped..." Erwin's rambling trailed off.

Y/N had been dreading coming into her room because she didn't want to see the plants she had been forced to abandon. She didn't want to add to the list of things Ryker had ruined.

These stupid plants, Y/N thought as she started to tear up.

Erwin thought she was getting upset at the wilted plant in front of her, so he walked over to her. He stopped a few steps behind her when he saw her shoulders shake.

"I'm so sorry, Y/N. I know some look bad. I tried figuring out why the leaves got brown on the edges like that, but-"

Y/N spun around and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him into a kiss.

"Hmph," Erwin grunted.

Y/N swept her tongue forward with a moan, and Erwin's hands slipped underneath her shirt. He used his thumbs to push her hips back and break the kiss.
