------ Medic POV -----------

It had been a month now since we last got supplies. Everything was scarce forcing us to eat more canned food, drink plain water and so on. (That really didn't effect soldier who only eats mre's). Miss pauling couldn't deliver the supplies like she usually does. So that left it up to us. I volunteered myself to go, considering the other... less competent options. but i didn't want to haul all it alone.

"Ach, i need at least vone more perzon to come vith me" i spoke. "Heavy? Spy?"Dell?" I tilted my head slightly begging.

"Ey am sorry am very busy" heavy frowned.

"Non" spy said simply before disappearing. Lazy bastard.

"Herr Conagher, Could you help?" I asked, crossing my fingers.

"Shore thang partner" he smiled warmly. Dell was typically a very helpful person, always helping people out, much like a father.

"Danke, danke, dell" i chuckled, fidgeting with the car keys happily.

--------------------engie POV------------------

We wandered through the town. I had agreed to help deliver this months supplies back to base, the poor doctor looked desperate for another pair of helping hands. And i didn't want to seem useless. I looked around eagerly. It had been ages since i had been in a real town and i was swelling with curiosity. We stopped at every store that had to do with machinery, or medical equipment. I was honestly pretty fun, besides all of the loud people and crowds. Someone bumped into my shoulder, making me falter slightly. I blinked, losing track of German man.

"Ludwig!?" I yelled, my body tensing. I ran forward pushing my way through the bustling city crowds. My reflection caught oddly in the glass windowpanes of storefronts, making me feel uneasy. I looked away quickly, Scared of what i saw. But i was curious, so very curious. I looked back at the glass approaching it slowly. There i was, my reflection but the man i saw, still had both hands. That wasn't the part that scared me. When i looked into his eyes, there weren't any there. His eye sockets bore their image into my mind. Just looking at him, I felt i was going to be sick. I ran away, puking into a public trash bin. The sound of people talking felt too loud. They were laughing, they were laughing at me, they were talking about me, i knew it. I shivered, dry coughing once more over the bin. I could feel people looking at me. But when i looked around they weren't.

"Dell, Dell?!" A familiar voice called. I cleared my sore throat, just managing to make it feel more burt.

"Here" i rasped.

"OH MEIN GOTT, vhere vere jou??" The doctor yelled. His demeanor changed after seeing my slightly shaken figure. "Are jou sick? Vhat happened?" He asked, in a much sweeter tone. He felt my forhead, his eyebrows furrowed with concern.

"I'm okay, i just threw up is all" i said, trying my best to play it down. my eyes flicked to the window, shivering at the reflection.

"But... jou dont have a fever?" The doctor whispered, looking confused.

"... i was nervous is all" i mumbled. Ludwig looked at me, even more confused than before. "Okay okay!" I grumbled. "I saw sumthin' weird in my reflection" i admitted. The doctors eyes went wide before softening.

"You're safe dell don't vorry" he stated firmly. I'll admit it was cheesy, but it made me feel a little better.

"Thanks" i said smiling, my eyes misty.

"Vould a hug make you feel better?" He asked, fidgeting with his hands.

"Doc, you hate hugs" i laughed, wiping my eye.

"I zhink I'm villing to make an exception" he stated matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, actually I'd love one then" i chuckled. The taller man pulled me into a tight hug, making me forget about ever being upset. We stayed there on the sidewalk for as long as i needed. Maybe cuts aren't the only thing he can heal.
