"Is this a dream?" Erwin asked, groaning as he pushed himself up on a sitting position.
Laura shook her head, unable to say anything as she lowered her head. Despite the smile Laura gave, Erwin knew she was only trying to smile for him, and it came out forced. But the pained expression shows it all.
Instead of frowning, Erwin slightly smiled. He chuckled and never thought a day would come where Laura would br the first person he sees when he opens his eyes. It was a blessing for him.
"Don't laugh!" Laura hissed, hitting Erwin on the arm. Then later realized that she hit an inured person and apologized, "I'm sorry it wasn't intentional."
"I know...that's why don't show me that expression," Erwin frowned, cupping Laura's face.
"You almost died!" Laura exclaimed as she lowered her head, feeling the warmth of Erwin's hand. The warmness of his hands was back, and it wasn't a dream at all.
