Amnesia - Finding a Devils Memory (Attack on Titan x Reader)

Chapter 16

'You don't need to ask, you're not in Marley anymore, you're not a prisoner' still seeing your visible confusion he continues, 'you see, you and I hold the same authority, you can go and visit the two brats whenever you want. Maybe ask Hange before you visit though, just in case, but I see no reason why you should not be able to use your authority especially now that you are home.'

'Sorry, I didn't remember.' you turn away, thinking hard, trying to remember some form of memory.

'You don't seem to remember much these day... You know that's a sign of old age!' his sudden joke catches you off guard.

'Oi!' you hit him lightly laughing.

'It's true!'

'We're the same age!' you retort, trying to catch your breath from laughing so much, "you might even be older than me, with that thing you call a beard."

"HEY! I'm very proud of it..." he fake pouts as you put your hands on your knees laughing until your lungs burned. You had not laughed like this since Porco had fallen on black ice one winter and Pieck went to help and she fell down as well and you were pointing at them, laughing your head off as you watched them trying to stand.

Jean abruptly brings you into a hug and whispers into your ear, 'I missed you so much Y/N.'

'I would say I missed you too, but I can't remember you very well.' you smile patting his head.

Hange and Armin never told you this side of you and Jean's relationship... this is not a part that should be omitted or even forgotten about.

Jean soon left you to go and finish his and Connie's paperwork.

Knock knock

'Commander Hange, can I-?' before you can even finish your question the door is flying open and Hange is standing there.

'Y/N! Adjusting well?' they take your hand and sit you down on the sofa. They start to make a pot of tea, using leftover warm water that Levi had brought in a while back.

'Is there something wrong?' Hange stops pouring the tea.

'Shouldn't I be asking you that?' the commander puts down the pot and leans forward, 'it is you that came to see me after all.'

'You just don't seem like a tea person. For example when I was talking to you and Armin, you refused tea, saying it was bitter and now, I find you pouring yourself a cup of tea.' Your eyebrows knit together as your anger boils in the pit of your stomach.

'What's gotten into you Y/N?' Hange's words turn like a stew round in your head, processing.

Huh? What am I doing, I'm home. There's no need to fight.

Not here.

Not now.

'Sorry,' you lean back in disbelief of your actions, 'I have no idea commander.'

There is an awkward, tense atmosphere as Hange dismisses actions.

'Now, tell me Y/N what brings you here?'

'I want to see Gabi and Falco,' Hange stares at you, 'I understand what you must be thinking, but they are only kids...'

'Yes, only kids,' they repeat, 'kids that are being manipulated,' they pause before saying, 'you know Y/N you have the authority to see the kids.'

'Jean was saying that earlier, I just didn't want to overstep any boundaries.' you explain and Hange snaps back to their cheerful self.

'You! Cross boundaries,' Hange clutches their stomach and doubles over in a laughing fit, 'I forget myself that you don't remember the time when Levi was making tea you replaced the sugar for salt!'

Point to yourself shocked, 'I did that?' Hange nods grinning, 'no wonder he slapped me on the airship.' Hange burst into another fit of laughing.

Once they calm down, they say, 'you best be getting off.'

'One more thing before I leave,' Hange raises an eyebrow, 'what's my relationship with Jean like?'

'We've already been over this-'

'I know, and I remember everything you said. It's just Jean seemed a bit close.'

'Are you sure?' Hange questions.

'Yes!' agitation growing in your voice.

'How close we talking.' They smirk, getting super invested in your story.

'Like hugging and whispering in my ear.'

'HUH! WHATD HE SAY!' Hange jumps up grabbing your hands.

You impersonate Jean, getting into character you say, 'I missed you so much Y/N.'

'Looks like you have a secret - well not so secret admirer.' Hange teases as she pushes you out the door.
