A Reason to Fight (Levi x Reader x Erwin)

Chapter 3: Mistakes Were Made

Time skip to next morning

Your POV

I couldn't sleep last night with my mind racing. So I went out to do some training early before breakfast.

I head to the Mess Hall, even more exhausted, to have breakfast. Eren sees me walk in and waves his hand to an empty seat beside him. Looking around I don't see any empty seats anywhere else, so I get my trey of food and sit down next to him.

Jean, Mikasa, Armin, Sasha, Connie, Reiner, Bertolt, Krista and Ymir were sitting at the table as well. They seemed excited to have me there, probably so they could bombard me with more questions. But today, I really wasn't in the mood. Usually I avoid answering or change the subject, but I'm growing more frustrated in my sleep deprived state.

"Alright, me first today!" Sasha announced to the table, "Where did you learn how to fight?"

"Come on, you're her roommate, you can ask her questions all the time," Connie whined, "I want to know where you lived before you joined the scouts."

"She already said, 'nowhere' the other day, idiot," Ymir smirks, "I want to know how old she is."

They all started arguing about the questions each of them wants to ask. It doesn't matter, I never really answer them anyway, so why are they arguing? But anger was starting to boil up inside me as I slam my hand down on the table, silencing all of them.

"I don't understand what you think is so special about me, that makes everyone question me all the time," I growl to them, "we all have things we don't talk about, why am I the only one who's personal business is always in question?"

"Like you, Krista," she jumps as I mention her name, "Your fake over the top kindness isn't fooling anybody. It's so disingenuous to the point where it makes some people uncomfortable. But no one talks about that."

"Ymir, the connection between you and Krista is so obvious, but you two just walk around like it's not a thing. Can you just bang it out and get it over with?" Ymir smirks as she side eyes Krista, who is now fully red in the face.

"Eren, your obsession with titans makes you blind to the obvious non-familial love Mikasa has for you, and it's frustrating." Mikasa pulls up her scarf a bit and shifts uncomfortably in her seat, and Eren narrows his eyes at me.

"Jean, the tension between you and Eren is so forced and nonsensical, because of your obvious feelings for Mikasa, it is exhausting to witness."

Everyone at the table falls silent, even the table behind us which sat most of our superiors also listening in on my little outburst. Which is a little embarrassing and very unprofessional, but I'm too tired to care about possible repercussions.

"My point is," I continue as I try to calm myself down, "we all have things we don't talk about. So instead of worrying about my life, maybe deal with your own issues."

I go back to eating my breakfast quietly, I may have went over the top, but hopefully they will leave me alone after this. The idle chit chat continues around me, and I can hear Hange giggling behind me. I finish my breakfast quickly and leave before anyone else can ask me anymore questions, or comment on my little rant.

I went about the rest of my day pretty quietly. I was trying to finish my chores in a rush, because I was hoping to get in a power nap before dinner.

"So, what was that all about back there?" I jump as I hear Levi's monotone voice coming from the doorway of the room I was cleaning.

"What was what, sir?" I ask innocently, as I continue sweeping the floor.

"I've never heard you yell before, it was kind of refreshing." Levi comments as he walks closer to me, "But speaking as your superior, get it together. You're the mysterious one, of course they are going to ask you annoying questions."
