~Two weeks later~
-Eren P.O.V.-

     It's been two weeks that I have been in this hospital. My nurse, Mari, has been super sweet and helpful. Doctor Kowalski has been a joy to have as my doctor. He is super funny and kind.

     Today is the day I leave with Levi. He seemed happier than usual today. (Even though sometimes I can't tell what he is feeling...)

     He walked in with a pair of clothes in a plastic "Thank You" bag. I'm sitting on the bed finishing off my breakfast. Now, he is by my bed, asking me a question.

     "So, Eren, are you ready to go home?" He literally buzzed with excitement in that question.

     He hands me the plastic bag and I get up to go to the bathroom to get changed. My feet stick to the tile floor as I make my way to my destination. I close the door with a click. I untie the bag to find black and white plaid shorts with a black Funimation t-shirt that has "You should be watching." across the back.

     I quickly get dressed and notice I have no shoes to put on. I walk out to Levi. I don't fully trust him, but I'll ask him for my shoes.

     "Um, Levi, do you have my shoes?" I ask politely. I don't want to be rude to a person who will take care of me.

     "Oh! Sorry, here you go!" He hands me a pair of black roshes with a pair of folded white socks inside.

     "Oh, thank you." I say and sit in the chair while I slipe on my socks and tie my shoes. I stand back up. Now what?

     Levi starts walking out of the room when he see's that I stood up. I follow to keep up, which isn't that hard.

     He stops at the reception desk to sign some papers. He smiles at all of the people sitting behind computers probably playing online poker. One of the representatives takes the clipboard, reads over it, then nods.

     "You're good to go." She expressed how much she cared in one voice. Monotone.

     Levi starts walk in to the elevator and pushes the down arrow. This man. I remember him somehow. I just don't know how... I thought those thoughts ever since my dad said his name. It knocks on the doors at the back of my brain. I want to remember. I need to remember.

     We make the way to his car. A blue Fiesta. That is a reminder. Of what exactly? I couldn't tell you because I don't even know myself. Levi opens the passenger side door for me to get into. I climb into the car with faint memories in the back of my mind.

     Ten minutes later, it clicks. What clicked is what I've been struggling with. Memories of Levi suddenly rush into my head with a headache a few seconds afterward.

     "Levi. Pull over. Now." I say with my index and middle finger on my temple.

     "Why? What happened?" He asks while still driving on an empty road.

     "Now. I have something important to tell you!" I start to panic. I don't want to wait to tell him. My hand goes to my lap with the other.

     "Okay, okay. Calm down." He mumbled as he pulled over to the other empty part of the street.

     "L-levi, I remember. It so vivid to me now! Those two weeks are in my mind!" I exclaimed with excitment.

     "Everything?" He looks at me with a confused look.

     "Yes! Our first kiss, my nose bleeds, me helping you on video games, our cosplay. Everything!" That's all of the proof I need.

     He puts his hands on the wheel. Looks down at his legs and sits there for a few seconds.

     "Eren, I thought you would never remember." He looks up and grabs my hand. With the other hand, he grabs my face kisses my lips. 

     Then, it's over. The car gets back on the empty lane. We start talking about the last two weeks. Now, not only do I get to move in with my best friend, I get to stay here.
