You were currently sat on the top of the walls, just looking out into the vast plains, a blank expression sat on your face, a gentle breeze was present, making your hair flow gently, you were wearing a white cotton dress, After months of being in the hospital, you were finally allowed to leave, the sad part of your recovery was that you never spoke a word, nothing came out of your mouth, and this worried Rudi a lot, he was stressed out a lot because of it, but the doctor informed him it was due to your trauma, and the only thing Rudi could do was just keep you comforted and close to him, since you weren't letting anyone else touch you. Now, as with Eren and Armin, they were gutted, fore months, they've been wanting to see you, but Rudi never allowed it because he couldn't bear to see your frightened body language anymore, they were scared because they knew they messed up big time, but Eren was the most affected by it.

*clank*

Rudi had just made it onto the wall, walking over to you, he carefully sat down and wrapped a warm blanket over you, however, you didn't spare him a glance, so he gently stroked your hair.

''I brought you food, Y/n. Come on, eat up...'' Rudi smiled as he held up a bag, you slowly turned around and looked at the food. Rudi opened the bag and took out some healthy food that the doctor recommended

''It's your favorite, isn't it...?'' He said softly as he held it up, you looked at it carefully, gently touching it

???

You then took a small bite, whilst Rudi was watching you to see how you liked it, you stopped for a moment and looked down at the food, then back at Rudi, he was anxious now as you weren't showing any sort of expression, but then you continued to eat, Rudi sighed in relief, a warm smile on his face. After you were done, you carefully rested your head on his lap, Rudi gently stroked your hair.

''You sure you want to sleep here...? Your back is going to hurt...Y/n. You need to sleep in your bed...'' Rudi said softly as he looked down at you, but you were already fast asleep, Rudi's eyes widened slightly

???

''Please speak to me, Y/n...let me hear your voice...'' Rudi mumbled quietly as he looked down at you, an awfully worried expression on his face, he looked up at the sky now, closing his eyes, letting the gentle breeze do its job

...

''R...Rudi...'' You said quietly, Rudi shot his eyes down

!!!

''Y/n? You spoke....?'' Rudi said surprisingly and happily as a tear escaped his eye, you looked up at him, Rudi gently cupped your cheeks as his tear landed on your cheek

You lifted your hand, it was shaking a little, you gently brushed your fingers over his face, sort of like just wanting to feel him, Rudi let out a chuckle as more tears rolled down his cheeks. You wiped his tears carefully

''Th....thank you...'' You said quietly, still looking up at him, he shook his head, now holding your hand near his cheek

''You don't need to thank me...I'm just glad you're alright...thank you for talking to me...'' Rudi smiled as he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on your forehead

Rudi carefully picked you up and pulled you close his his body, now carefully leaning your head against his chest, whilst he gently stroked your hair, you closed your eyes...

''Get some rest...I'm not going anywhere, alright...'' Rudi said softly as he looked down at you, you snuggled in, getting comfortable, Rudi continued to gently stroke your hair

Rudi was on his way back to the dorm, whilst holding you tight in his arms, he had carefully wrapped your legs around his torso, and arms around his neck, whilst wrapping a scarf around both you, to keep you in place, since he had to use ODM to get down the walls, but to put it simply, you were a baby koala that he was holding, as he was walking through the garden, other members of the corps were there just doing their own stuff, Rudi could see Eren and Armin from the corner of his eye, but he just continued walking, you slowly fluttered your eyes open, letting out a small groan, you let out a yawn now just looking around, your eyes caught onto Eren's and Armin's figures, causing them to widen

!!!

You immediately turned your head and tightened your grip around his neck, Rudi felt your body immediately tense up, causing him to stop in his tracks, he gently stroked your hair.

''Shush, shush...nobody is going to hurt you...alright...I'm here'' Rudi said softly as he rubbed your back, but you were still shaking, so Rudi walked faster to get to your room quicker

[With Eren and Armin]

*chuckle*

''Did you see, Armin...? She turned her head the other way...'' Eren painfully chuckled as a tear escaped his eyes, just watching Rudi take you away, Armin frowned

''She's still scared...'' Eren's voice trailed off as he closed his eyes in frustration

''Maybe we have lost her...I think Rudi will keep her safe...'' Was the last thing Eren said before he walked away, leaving Armin in shock

...

''Wait...Eren...do you...like Y/n...?'' Armin spoke up surprised, curious, Eren stopped.

*sigh*

''Even if I did...it doesn't matter...she's got Rudi, he's taken more care of her than I have been able to...'' Eren said quietly before he took off

[With Rudi]

Rudi had brought you back to your room, carefully placing you down on the bed, he placed the covers over you, tucking you in, he sat down besides you, gently stroking you hair, trying to get you to calm down. It wasn't until about 15 minutes later that you were able to fall asleep, he let out a relieved sigh. After Rudi made sure you were fast asleep, he leaned down at placed a soft kiss on your forehead.

''Sleep tight Y/n'' Rudi whispered softly before leaving you to rest up, he closed the door and left

Rudi made his way over to certain dungeon, a blank look on his face, he walked down the dimly lit stairs until he made it to a cell at the bottom. There sitting inside was Mikasa. She glanced up and saw Rudi, her eyes immediately darkened and she pounced straight at the cell

''WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!'' She growled
