Around 3 in the morning, Erwin started to shiver, his temperature was rising again.
(Y/n) woke up as she felt him. She lit the lamp and said:
"Erwin, Erwin. Wake up." She shook him a little.
He opened his eyes a little. "I'm fine."
"No you're not"
She got the thermometer and measured his temperature, it was 38.9°C.
"Oh, no no, it's rising again. Wait here."
She made him cold compresses, she got a bowl of water and some towels. Slowly she put a towel on his forehead and another on his neck.
"It's cold." He objected.
"I know, I'm sorry. We have to lower your temperature. You're so hot."
"I am?" He said, trying to tease her.
"Omg, who are you and what did you do to Erwin!" she laughed.
He didn't reply, he held her hand and closed his eyes.
"No, wake up. Look at me."
"I'm awake."
She wanted to go and get him water and the meds but he held her hand tight.
"Don't go"
"I'm coming back."
He sighed and let her hand. She quickly got the water and gave him the meds.
"You'll be ok shortly".
He held her hand again.
"Tell me something good."
"Erwin Smith." She said and winked at him.
"Haha. Smooth." He giggled a little and looked at her.
"God. You're beautiful." He said, softly.
(Y/n) blushed and tensed up, she didn't see that coming.
"Maybe you have put something in the soup, or in the drinks you kept making me." He said to lighten the mood a little.
"So before today I wasn't beautiful?" She said challenging him, not knowing from where she got the courage.
"Ohoho, that's a trap." He said, raising his hands in surrender.
"Let me check your temperature again."
It was dropping, and he seemed better. So they went to sleep again.

In the morning, (y/n) woke up before him. She looked at him for a while thinking about the strange circumstances that brought her with Erwin.
The first time was a random party because Hange was ill.
The second time was a date that was too good to end well.
The third time was helping him get ready for an important meeting.
The fourth time he was protecting her from Zeke.
And now, the fifth time, she was taking care of him because he has a fever.
She kept thinking about that while making breakfast. Scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice that she squeezed herself.
Erwin woke up and looked for (y/n) beside him, when he didn't find her he was annoyed. He told himself that he was acting like a baby that is too attached to his mother. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth. His eyes were so tired. He brushed his hair, then went to (y/n) in the kitchen.

"Good morning." He said.
"Good morning, why did you get out of bed?" She replied, blaming him.
"I'm fine (y/n), I'm not pregnant." He said, laughing.
"It's my fault that I want you to rest."
"I didn't say that, but I'm ok really. Let's eat on the table here."
"Ok."
They started eating quietly, exchanging looks from time to time.
"Did you sleep well?" Erwin asked her.
"Oh, yeah. You?"
"Best night in a long time."
"Good."
"What are your plans for today?"
"Making lunch. Nothing else on my mind."
"For me?" He said, hoppingly.
"Yeah, but I'll eat with you though." They laughed.
"Let's watch a movie together after breakfast then." He suggested.
"What movie?"
"You choose." He shrugged.
"What type of movie, then?"
"Something light, not tense"
"Did you watch Amélie? It's french"
"I know the movie but no, I didn't watch it."
"You're going to like it"

As much as (y/n) was happy, she was so afraid that this would end soon. And those 2 days would be just another situation with Erwin.
After she finished eating, (y/n) was about to do the dishes but Erwin insisted on doing them. She got him his meds and made sure his temperature was stable.

"Do you like eating popcorn while watching?" She asked him while he was doing the dishes.
"Who doesn't?"
"I'll make some then." she said, clapping her hands.
"I don't have popcorn!" He said, puzzled, looking at her.
"I bought some yesterday."
"Why? That's a weird thing to buy for someone who has a fever."
"I bought it for me." She said, shrugging and raising her eyebrows. Erwin continued to wash the dishes and shook his head. He was thinking of the same thing (y/n) was thinking about. He didn't want this to end.
