The two continued to embrace each other; losing track of time in the process. Both their tears had finally subsided, and now they were basking in the warm comfort of one another.

A knock comes from the door as both Y/n and Eren look up to see who was there. "Come in." She says.

The door opens revealing Martha who had a tray in her hand. "I thought you would like to have your dinner in here. It's going to get cold." She says as she walks in placing the tray on the night stand next to the bed.

Y/n could smell the aroma of steak coming from the plate as she looks to see what Martha had made. "It's your favorite dear. Salisbury steak with green beans and sweet potatoes." Y/n's stomach started growling making both Eren and Martha chuckle.

"It's not funny! This baby has been loving steak the last month." Y/n exclaims as she gets up to move the chair next to the table so she could eat. "These hormones have me all over the place. I feel like a cry every other day, and over nothing at times." She adds as she plunks herself down into the seat.

"Oh you don't even know the half of it." Martha looks over to Eren who was smiling as he watched Y/n dig into her dinner. "Eren, I will start you on some liquid foods tomorrow to help get your stomach going. For now, just drink water."

Eren looks over to the older woman nodding his head, and muttering a 'thank you' before going back to watching his wife eat her dinner.

Martha takes her leave from the room.

Y/n was enjoying the savoury taste of the steak. "Martha is such a great cook." She mumbles as she chews her food. "I could never make steak like this." Her fork then goes to grab a couple sweet potatoes.

"I bet she is." Eren replies. His hands were now resting in his lap as silence laid over them. "So-uh what did you do for the last 3 months? How did you save me?" Eren asked nervously as he twirls his thumbs slowly. He was genuinely curious to know as much as it would be a painful reminder for him.

Y/n stops eating momentarily looking at Eren questioningly. "Do...do you really want to hear it all?" She says her voice sounded shaky from the nerves.

"Y-yah I kind of want to. That is, if you don't mind telling me..." He replies now feeling like he should have never brought it up.

Y/n bits her bottom lip as she debated on telling him what happened. "I don't want to give you all the details Eren. Not now anyway..." Her voice trailing off.

"I understand. Just tell me what happened after Ymir broke me out of the crystal." He says as his eyes look down towards his hands finally taking notice that his ring was back on his left finger.

"Wait, how did you know that Ymir helped me?" She suddenly confused as to how he knew Ymir helped her with the Jaws.

"I saw her in the paths."

Y/n puts down her cutlery, then goes to wipe her mouth. She places the napkin down next on the tray then turning to Eren. "I will tell you what happened, if you tell me what happened in your coma."

Eren nods his head agreeing.

Y/n relaxes her shoulders as she begins telling Eren how he got here. How she pulling his unconscious body through an unknown forest, meeting Travis, then coming to Greg's home. She also told him that she was working at the bakery in town ever since she got here.

"Are you making those cookies again? The ones with the toffee running through them?" He asks.

"Yup. Every Wednesday. They're actually a great seller. People really love them. I sort of just made them on a whim one day." Y/n left out the part that she started making them in order to help deal with her stress of missing Eren.
