Blood & Honey | Eren Yeager x Reader

14. Forgiveness

You were woken up by the sound of a heart monitor incessantly beeping besides your bed. As you blinked your eyes open the bright fluorescent light above you burned your sensitive eyes as you squinted at the room around you.

"Oh my god, she's awake!" You heard a familiar voice excitedly whisper next to you.

"Sasha?" You groaned, rubbing your eyes. "What time is it?"

"Oh, uhh. I think its like two in the morning, y/n." She said as she glanced at the clock. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I got hit by a fucking bus." You groaned, sitting up in bed. "What am I doing here?" You asked her and a wave of anxiety washed over you as you watched her face fall.

"Oh, right." You said to yourself, looking down at your lap. "Did that happen yesterday?" You asked. You couldn't remember what day it was.

"No, it was actually a week ago.." Sasha said quietly, placing her hand on yours gently. "They had to keep you asleep for a little while to make sure your body could heal."

"A week?!" You yelled, your eyes widening. "But that means I missed thanksgiving?" You whined, slumping against the pillow propping you up.

Sasha giggled, squeezing your hand. "It's okay! Were gonna have a friendsgiving with you and everyone else as soon as you come home! Nicolo is gonna cook everything!" She reassured you.

You couldn't help but smile a little bit at her but it quickly faded as you started to remember what happened. Reiner breaking in and hitting you, the gun, the blood.

"Where is Reiner? What happened to him?" You asked.

Sasha looked at you, biting at her lip a little. "Well, he was in the hospital too. But once he was somewhat stable they transferred him over to the jail. His bail is set at like ten-thousand or something like that." She nodded as she spoke to you. "He's never gonna be able to touch you or see you again, y/n." She smiled small again.

"Wait, Reiner was in the hospital?" You asked, your eyebrows raised.

"Yeah, Eren almost killed him." Sasha confirmed, looking off to the side. "Like, his face was really messed up."

"Is Eren okay? Where is he?" You began to quickly ask, kicking the sheets off of your legs as you tried to get up. "Did he get in trouble?"

"Woah! He is totally fine, he's practically been living here actually." She said as she pointed to the small couch in the corner of the room that had a blanket and your dragon plushie on it. "Don't get up too fast! And no, not in any trouble. His dad took care of everything apparently."

"His dad?" You asked confused, looking around the room. He never mentioned his dad before. "Thank you for being here, Sash. I really appreciate you so much." You said as you looked at her again.

"I love you, y/n!" She exclaimed as she hugged you again. You couldn't help but giggle and hug her back.

"I love you too. How bad does my face look?" You asked her, watching her face grimace as she responded.

"Oh! Uh, not bad! Not great... But not bad!" She tried to say kindly and you rolled your eyes as you got up slowly, wincing at your sore body as you stood up. You shuffled your way to the bathroom and turned on the light, frowning when you saw your reflection.

Your hair was in two messy braids which you were thankful for, otherwise it would've gotten matted. Both of your eyes had black, blue and plum colored bruising underneath them as well as some spots that were turning yellow as they healed. Your left eye was completely bloodshot and your bottom lip was swollen with a small cut on the side. There was one butterfly bandage above your left eyebrow to keep a small cut closed as well.
