"Good morning!" you passed a smile to Erwin as he walked in, "I didn't mean to be a bother, Levi walked out before I could stop him."

{Liar}

Well, what else am I supposed to say? "It's been 10 years since I last saw you, I missed you" or  "Good morning Commander"

{"(y/n)" would say the second, and I don't advise the first}

You mentally roll your eyes as you focus back on reality, catching the end of the conversation between Erwin and Hanji

"So, you mean her memory has been returned to three years ago?" Erwin said, frowning as he studied you carefully

"Yep, and, she's back to herself from before the incident!" Hanji exclaimed

"Erwin, we need to talk," you said softly looking directly into his eyes, "more specifically, I need to talk to you"

Everyone in the room looked a little nervous, they had many reasons to do so. One, you called Erwin by name not title, which you never did (at least not for the past three years). Two, the last time the two of you "talked" things didn't end that well. 

"Commander," Erwin reminded, "and I'm going to have to reject that offer, I have lots of paperwork waiting for me in my office."

As Erwin turned to walk out you said something barely above a whisper. He froze. 

"Come again?" he wasn't sure if he heard right

"Please, Ace."

Ace. It was your nickname for him, more specifically, it was the family nickname for him, you were just the only one left to call him that. He hasn't heard that name for the past three years. 

"Hanji, Levi, out."

Levi opened his mouth to protest only for Hanji to drag him out, 

"Let them have some family time," Hanji said closing the door on their way out. However, the shadows under the door (as well as 711) told you that they had their ears on the door wanting to know what was going on.

711, please use an Imperturbable Charm (sorry for the Harry Potter reference) on the door. 

{Already done}

Love you

Levi often forgot that you and Erwin were siblings, you didn't act like average siblings even before the swap. Yes, you followed him a little, and every now and then Erwin would have him protect you but normal siblings were, closer like the trio of cadets that recently joined. 

"It's fine, they can't hear now," you say to Erwin who was about to go open the door and tell them to go away.

"So which amnesia is fake?"

"Damn, straight to the point? No, I missed you, it's great to have you back, or something like that?"

You could tell he didn't trust you completely yet

"Do I have to talk about the time I got yelled out for eating cookies in bed when you were the one that ate them in my bed?" 

After hearing that, he finally smiled

"It's been a long three years, (n/n). You want to talk about it?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Honesty, if you weren't my little sister, I would be totally baffled by all of this mess and wouldn't believe you."

"Hence why I decided to fake amnesia instead of attempting to explain to everyone."
