Don't forget about me • when I doubt you
unicorntyler

Summary:

Tyler Joseph is a fifteen year old boy diagnosed with a short term memory disability. He's been homeschooled all his life until this year his parents decide he's ready to go to catholic school, where he meets Joshua Dun. Josh as well is new to the school and he is seated beside Tyler in their first class. Tyler was writing notes so he wouldn't forget the lesson completely and Josh offered to help him. Throughout the story Tyler's memory gets progressively worse but the love the two share grows stronger. Good luck, I apologize in advance.
Notes:

I wish you good luck. This oddly was inspired by finding dory! If you would like to contact me feel free to message me on Twitter @ blurryphacedun.
Hope you enjoy the story!
I'd have to say personally this is the best I've written.
Thank you for reading!

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide
(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Tyler Robert Joseph. Someone you'll remember, even though he may never remember you. It's not his fault though, not since he'd been diagnosed with a short term memory disability. This made anything that he did or even tried to do a lot more difficult.

When he tried to play basketball; Tyler couldn't remember the gameplay, or even the rules themselves. When he learnt to play piano; he could barely remember the chords 'CDEFGAB', let alone how to read the notes. Eventually Tyler did succeed in both piano and basketball, but it really did take time.

Kelly and Chris, (Tyler's parents) have always homeschooled him. This way he would be able to have the time that he needed to be educated.

They taught him at home, from when he was four years old, till now. Tyler was fifteen years old and they figured going to an actual school could be good for him. He'd never had the chance to make any friends, other than his siblings - Zack, Jay and Madison. His parents were hoping he'd make at least one friend this year.

Zack was fourteen years old. He was the closest with Tyler, which was probably due to the fact they were closest in age. Although all four kids got along quite nicely.

Today was going to be Tyler's first day going to an actual school. All his siblings have already gone through this, but that was back when they were four years old. Tyler was the only one in his family that needed to be homeschooled, the rest did just fine in catholic school.
