After Nolan claws his way out of captivity and returns to the base all battered and bruised, almost collapsing at the door, he gets taken away, personally ordered by Makarov to get the best care available in some private hospital.

He's out of it for the most part, slipping in and out of consciousness for days because while he's been operating only on adrenaline and sheer will, he never realized just how bad it's been. He doesn't remember half the shit they did to him, but the constant pain in his body tells him enough.

Next time he opens his eyes, he feels better than he did yesterday, mind still hazy but steadily recovering. Once he's awake enough to take in his surroundings though, he realizes he's not alone in the room. There is an extra weight on the left side of the bed, he notices, close to where his hand rests, and he looks down a little only to find someone's head there. He would recognize that soft black hair anywhere, and his heart rate picks up as he realizes just who is sitting next to him. It's none other than his commander, Makarov.

Noticing the shift in bed, Makarov slowly raises his head and looks up at him, tired and sleepy eyes widening at the sight of Andrei. He then reaches out to grab his hand, almost startling the man, and the fond look in his eyes almost send Andrei over the edge.

He shouldn't be here. As his second in command Andrei knows better than anyone that Makarov is a busy man. He's got meetings to attend to, plans to build, a whole world to destroy. He doesn't have time for fucking hospital visits. He shouldn't be here. Andrei feels undeserving of the attention, the softness in Makarov's eyes are too much to bear.

"You're back." Makarov whispers with a smile, "Had me worried sick there.", his voice tired yet soft. It's clear he hasn't been sleeping properly. He gives Andrei's hand a reassuring squeeze, perhaps to remind them both that he survived. Andrei's heart breaks a little, it feels so wrong. His commander should be in top shape, focused on his work and raining terror on earth and definitely not spend his precious time worrying about some failure like him. Timing is everything, and Andrei has failed him greatly.

Andrei squeezes his hand back, his chest feels heavy and he can't hold his commanders affectionate gaze any longer, so he looks away. Makarov notices the change in his mood, as subtle as it is, and presses further. "What's wrong, Andryusha?"

"You shouldn't be here, Komandir." He's tired, his body is working overtime for his recovery, and now his heart is doing a mile a minute.

There have been many sacrifices made along the way for their cause, and Makarov wouldn't be here today if he stopped to mourn and care for every single one of them. So why Andrei, why would he be special? Why was his Commander taking the time to visit him, even staying beside him for his recovery? Andrei feels worthless, undeserving of such attention, and involuntary tears start gathering at the corners of his eyes.

Makarov immediately notices of course, and he shifts forward, bringing himself closer to Andrei, his hand moving up from Andrei's hands to cup his face. "What are you talking about? I am exactly where I need to be."

"But your plans.." A shaky exhale.

"Are perfectly in order." Makarov finishes before Andrei can, then shakes his head with a tired chuckle. "You almost died out there, and the first thing you think about when you come back is still work." He smiles at him, thumb gently stroking Andrei's cheek. He doesn't miss the way a single tear falls down from his face, and how Andrei seems hesitant in between pulling his head back in shame and leaning further into Makarov's touch.

"Look at me, Andrei." He commands. And who is Andrei to disobey?

Glistening blue eyes meet dark brown ones, and Andrei almost wants to die right then and there after seeing just how much worry and affection there is in his Commanders eyes. He doesn't feel deserving of it, but it's still there, and it's directed at him.

"I am not mad or disappointed in you, let's make that perfectly clear." Makarov starts,

"Why? I failed you, I let them take me."

"But you came back, didn't you? You didn't give anything away. Just like I trusted you." Somehow Makarov already knows. Andrei doesn't ask how.

A few moments pass in silence, "You're wasting your time here."

"Keep talking back to me and I will demote you if you want it so badly." Makarov threatens just to shut him up, using his last resort with no heat behind it.

Andrei simply shuts his mouth, looking like a kicked puppy with the way his lips slightly quiver.

Makarov smiles affectionately at him, happy to shut him up, as he gets up and leans forward. He presses a small kiss to Andrei's head, humming softly as he does, and pulls back to see Andrei's big wet eyes. "Get some rest now. You'll be back on your feet in no time." He steps away from Andrei to leave the room. "I can't wait to have my favorite soldier back."

Vivziepop and Spindlehorse inspired me to pursue my passion for animation and art in general... now I'm a first year animation/illustration student, and fear I've made a terrible mistake lol

I'm going to think about Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss and how incredible they are whenever it feels too overwhelming and not worth it. Cause I want to create awesome stuff like that someday

I'm also in school for digital illustration because I want to be a cartoonist and graphic novelist, which Viv has also inspired me a lot in. I hope to create characters and stories that really stick with people like she has.
