[ maybe in the literal sense, but not necessarily meaning that he wants to or even realizes this could be creepy if and when rose wakes up— which could be at any time now, he’s heard the nurses talking about her when she’s awake. in other words: she’s a toughie.
in a quiet, single bed recovery room, rose can wake up to the occasional beeps of machinery or the shift in her iv fluids being removed, only leaving the catheter in. a familiar face does it with care, too focused to see her eyes move and too dead set on doing this as stealthily as possible. he didn’t want to wake her.
but even when he’s done, he sits by her bedside and rests his arms on his legs. contemplating october’s many events and having the growing desire to speak with rose directly. as himself for once, even. he wonders what happened to her, but then again—
this whole month has been a disaster, him included in the cause. when rose wakes, or decides to open her eyes to speak with her, eren is there: in scrubs, a name tag, writing down some vitals on a clipboard and wearing a ridiculous decoration for halloween that his mother chimed him into wearing: wolf ears. it’s supposed to bring festive spirits to patients. at least, his manbun is still safe from clover’s wrath, and lina or violet aren’t the ones seeing him use it.
like, at least he’s not wearing the whole thing. just the ears. and the big halloween pin. they didn’t let him wear his gipsy danger helmet. ]
