Hello! I'm here with trash! I hope you enjoy and there are a few things I should say beforehand:
Mikasa's last name is Yeager in this, this is purely because I did not want Levi and her having the same surname and she is the adopted sister of Eren Yeager so it makes a little more sense in that manner.- I am going to go by Yeager instead of Jaeger because I am making Eren look like the manga rendition (he has gold eyes and slightly lighter hair) where his name is Yeager, not Jaeger like the anime.- I am completely aware that a teacher/student relationship is wrong, and it will be an issue further into the story. But it will eventually be dealt with. To make it slightly less awkward I have made everyone seniors and Levi younger than he actually is, making him a brand new teacher. I am trying to make their ages as close as possible to the age still being realistic for a new teacher (so mid 20s-ish).- There will be some issues involving the LGBT community, meaning there will be some discrimination. I wanted to warn you incase some are upset by this, as I will be slightly agitated writing it. I am a member of the LGBT community and know what it feels like to be disliked purely for who I love, and I will make sure in this story it is reacted to seriously.- Erwin will be the headteacher, this is because he is two school years older than Levi, Isabel, and Furlan in this. As is Hanji. So they will have had more teaching experience by two years, I thought this would help make him eligible for such a high job.- I have yet to watch season 2 so this will be based on season 1 and what I know of season 2, which is a little bit but mostly just important stuff. I will put a spoiler warning in front of chapters that may refer to it because some people, such as myself, have yet to watch it.I think that's enough information about changes or specifics. I hope you enjoy this story and that it isn't painfully cringy, enjoy!

Eren.
It was a seemingly normal first week back until she made me remember.
"Eren Yeager, is that you?" I hear a loud screech of joy behind me as I turn confused and slightly alarmed. As I turn my head to meet the strange squawling woman behind me, I see the new biology teacher Miss Zoe bouncing towards me, far too cheerful for the first week back at school.
"Ah, yes, Miss Zoe?" I reply politely, a small smile playing on my lip. Her bubbly and happy expression falters slightly, for a reason I do not know as of yet, but her usual expression returns only moments after. I look into her eyes and see a sense of nostalgia and...a slight sense of pity?
The expression on her face causes a flash of something to come back to me, an image.
It's Zoe in front of me. She was wearing a brown leather jacket that stops at the centre of her stomach, it had a shield with two overlapping blue and white wings on the left breast; a yellow blouse shirt with a brown strap over her chest. We were sitting at a wooden table in a dark stone room, a dim light to the left of us and a small cup of tea in front of each of us. Suddenly, I hear myself speak up,"Um, Major Hanji..." I spoke quietly.
Major Hanji. Hanji Zoe. Survey Corps Squad Leader Hanji Zoe.
I gasp for breath slightly as I look at her back in the present, a sense of knowing in her eyes.
"Major Hanji?" I whisper, tears coming to both of our eyes as the words leave my mouth. She smiled widely, tears threatening to fall at any given moment.
"I'm so glad you've finally remembered, Eren. It's been a while," she whispered as equally quiet as I had previously done. Simultaneously looking around to check the coast is clear, we grin and hug each other, happy to have remembered one another. We release each other from the calming embrace and continue our conversation,
"Do you remember anyone else?" She asks, quiet as to make sure nobody else hears. I look at her confused,
"There were others? I only remember you, Major Hanji."
"Please Eren, call me Miss Zoe or just Hanji here," she says somewhat seriously. I apologise swiftly and ask,
"Sorry Miss Zoe, but what do you mean by others?" Hanji sighs,
"The others. Mr Smith, Jean, Marco, Connie, Sasha, the new English teacher Mr Ackerman, the receptionist Miss Ral, Mikasa and Armin," as each name leaves her mouth, mine gradually opens wider in surprise eventually looking like a rather shocked fish. But then it hits me,
"Wait, Mikasa and Armin are from then too? How do I remember no-one except you?" I ask rather loudly, but sure to keep my voice low. Hanji looks distant for a moment, thinking of a reply but failing before asking,
"How exactly did you remember me? Like, what happened to you that made you remember?" I look down, trying to sentence it in a way that I deemed sane and rational,
"I saw an expression on your face that made me remember when we were sitting in a large brick room, just the two of us with drinks. I don't remember what we were talking about yet though, but I then said your name and remembered you. Everything, except that one conversation." I say calmly and slowly, to make sure she and I both fully processed what I just said. Hanji looks at me nodding,
"Ok," she begins,
"I think I know what's going on. The only way you remember people is through certain expressions they show, I'm guessing very rare ones? What's mine!" She ends the explanation with excitement very evident in her voice. I laugh slightly, scratching the back of my head,
"Yours...was pity," I say quietly, not daring to look up at her. From the corner of my eye, I see Hanji's shoulders slump and she looks down too,
"Well I suppose that is a rare thing for me to do openly," she says quietly. It was most likely meant for her ears only, but I hear it and look up at her,
"Major Ha-Miss Zoe, it's ok. I-I understand," I speak calmly and softly in an attempt to calm her. It works.
As I begin to open my mouth to speak again, we hear the bell for lesson ring. In an instant, Hanji's bubbly personality is back and she smiles widely like a...Titan. I'm happy to be remembering this but not them, not yet. I vowed to kill them all, what happened?
Why did I want to kill them all? Why? Why couldn't I remember?!
Hanji's voice pulls me out of my thoughts,
"Eren! It's time for class, you should get going. You don't want to leave Le-Mr. Ackerman waiting," she said sweetly with a teasing tone in her voice for yet another unknown reason. I nod and begin to walk away,
"Wait, Eren!" Hanji calls from behind me.
Turning to her, I see her right hand against her heart and her left hand on her back. I grin and do it back, as more memories flood into my mind.
The training regiment, but who else trained with me? God this will get infuriating quickly.
Well, today's going to be an eventful day, but what sort of expressions and events will allow me to remember the others if such a sad expression is Hanji's?
I hope you enjoyed this introduction to I Don't Remember You and that it enticed you to read the rest when it is uploaded.
