Bookmark Notes:
Levi was angry. Shoulders stiff, jaw clenched, fingers white at the knuckles, he looked like he wanted to take a swing at the three, injured leg or no. But something kept him seated, and it took Mikasa a moment to figure it out, to notice the splotchy red stains on his cheeks and give a name to them. He was embarrassed. Ashamed, even, and Mikasa didn't have words for how wrong that was. It fit him like an ugly, ill-fitted shirt, and Mikasa burned with the desire to tear it off him and rip it to shreds.
Levi was a foul-mouthed and fouler-tempered jerk. He liked to tease Eren and pretend Armin didn't exist, and he treated her like her very existence was an affront.
But if anyone had wanted to bring him down a couple of well-deserved pegs, it should've be for that. Not because he didn't have as much money as other people. It was stupid. They were stupid.
And Levi was stupid for letting such stupid people get to him.
"It's like, you want to feel bad for him, but at the same time it's just too damn funny," the boy who'd first spoken said through a laugh.
"Right?"
"Man, but being poor has to suck."
And just like that, Mikasa's thinly-stretched temper snapped.
"Not as much as being stupid does, I'm sure," she said, voice so cold her mouth burned to speak them.
"What was that?" The boys were watching her now.
"I mean, at least being poor isn't permanent. Unlike being stupid, which, much like the inheritance of unfortunate genetics, can't be changed. You three should know something about that."
