Hey y'all. Back at it again with another request. I had some free time today, so I used it to do this.
This was requested by @X-Outcasts!
Enjoy!
In the dining hall, (Y/N) was seated at a table, alone, eating her food in complete silence. From afar, she looked at the other couples who were eating together, and Goddess, did she wish she was them.
Mercedes, who was eating with Annette, noticed (Y/N) eating by herself, brought up the subject, and so they both agreed to continue their lunch with (Y/N).
"Hey, (Y/N)! I hope we're not bothering you," Annette spoke.
(Y/N) looked up from her plate, a bit surprised to see both of them, "Oh, Annette, Mercedes, hello. You aren't bothering me at all. Is something wrong?"
"We saw you eating by yourself, so we thought we could join you!"
"Indeed. May we seat by you?"
(Y/N)'s face lit up, "Of course!"
Mercedes and Annette sat by (Y/N)'s side, then put their plates with food on the table.
"Thank you for joining me. To be honest, I was starting to feel kind of lonely..."
"Why were you eating alone in the first place?"
"Yes, why is that? You usually eat with Felix."
The girl sighed, as she rested her head against her palm, "Felix... didn't pass his exam the other week. And so, ever since then, he has been really quiet and has dedicated most of his time to training..."
"Doesn't Felix always dedicate his time to training?"
"He does, but not to this extent. It goes on to even last until nighttime... That's kind of why I mostly eat alone."
Mercedes and Annette frowned, "We're sorry..."
"It's okay. You two didn't do anything. I just don't really know how to cheer him up."
All three of them stood quiet, until Annette's face lit up, an idea coming up in her mind, catching (Y/N) and Mercedes' attention.
"How about you bake him sweets?"
"But... Felix doesn't like sweets."
"Oh..."
And so the three of them went back to thinking again.
"... Say, what does Felix like?"
"Well, training, swords... training, oh- I already said that. Hum... I don't actually know. He doesn't really talk about his likes and dislikes."
"Well, a good idea would be to gift him a sword. Don't you think?"
(Y/N) thought of the idea for a moment, "That's... that's a good idea."
Rising up from her chair, (Y/N) herself felt happier, with stars in her eyes.
"That's a great idea! And, now that I think about it, I know just what to buy him!"
Grabbing their hands, she looked at both of them with a smile, "Oh, thank you, you two!"
Mercedes chuckled, "Don't Thank us just yet. You have yet to buy it."
"I know, I know, but still- Oh, I'm going at the marketplace right now!"
As she said those words, (Y/N) directly headed towards the exit in a confident step.
"Hey! But what about your food?" Annette shouted.
"I'll eat it later!"
~~~~~~~~~
Later that day, (Y/N) headed to the training grounds, where Felix had been training FOR the lady des hours.
She had hoped that he had stopped training for today, but, when she finally arrived there, she fell face to face with her boyfriend who was fighting with his good old sword, alone.
Not wishing to interrupt, she stood there for a little while, hoping that at some point, he would notice her.
But Felix was so entranced in his training that he didn't even turn around to see her.
So, (Y/N) finally decided to make her presence known.
"Hello Felix."
Finally, Felix turned his head around. Just by the sound of her voice, he knew it was her, but, although he wished to give her a small smile (he knew she liked his smile a lot), he didn't, and instead, just helloed her back, then went back to his training.
(Y/N) was a bit disappointed by him not really taking her into count, so she joined him. She really wished to at least try and take his mind of training.
"Felix? Felix, I know you're mad about not passing your exam- but that doesn't mean that there isn't a next time. The school year isn't over yet."
Felix didn't respond, but, as soon as (Y/N) touched his arm, he stopped fighting.
"Felix? Are you alright? How about you take a break? You can train more later."
She smiled a little, "You know, Felix. I've got a little surprise for you, back in my room."
Felix looked back at her with a quizzical look, "What is it?"
"I can't tell you- or else I'll spoil the whole thing... So will you take a break with me?"
Felix stood quiet until he finally answered her question with a sigh, "...Alright."
(Y/N)'s face lit up, and so, grabbing onto his arm, she led him out of the training grounds.
"I cannot wait to sho you the surprise, Felix! You're going to enjoy it so much!"
For the first time that week, Felix smiled genuinely.
"Really?"
"Yes, really! Oh, we're here."
(Y/N) proceeded to open the door, and as they got in, she made her boyfriend sit down on the bed, but as she let go of his hand, she noticed a small cut on his hand.
She gasped, "Felix! You've cut yourself! Hoe come I haven't noticed this before? Stay still, I'll search for some bandages."
(Y/N) immediately got to digging through her things to find those bandages, "Goddess, where are they... Forgive me, Felix, but the surprise will have to wait."
Felix frowned, "You don't have to search for bandages. It's just a small cut. I've had worse."
"It's a wound nonetheless- Ah, there they are."
Picking up her bandages, (Y/N) sat on the bed by Felix. She then proceeded to bandage the cut.
"I'm not much of a doctor, but this should do for now."
"Thank you... But, that wasn't necessary."
(Y/N) didn't pay much attention to his last sentence, as she got to searching the present.
"Now, for the surprise.. There it is! Close your eyes, Felix!"
"Do I really have to?"
"Yes! You must! Now, do as I said!"
Felix rolled his eyes at (Y/N)'s silly antics, but did as he was told nonetheless.
"... Can I open them now?" Felix asked, on an annoyed tone.
"Yes, you may!"
Finally opening his eyes, Felix fell face to face with a magnificent sword in (Y/N)'s hands.
Taking it in his one, he stared in awe at the gift.
(Y/N), happy to see him so engrossed in the gift, couldn't help holding back a little giggle, "Surprise."
"This is..."
"The sword of Zol... tan! Yes, that's the name! Apparently, he's one of the..."
"... One of the finest blacksmiths in all of Fodlan."
"Exactly! Do you like it, my love?"
Felix looked up at her, a smile on his face, "I'm... really touched by the gift. Thank you. But why?"
"Well, you were so sour because of the exam. I just had to cheer you up somehow."
The blue haired swordsman frowned, "You shouldn't have. This must've cost a fortune."
This was the first time she saw him show a softer side, but she took the change gladly.
"It's true. It was anything but cheap, but you know how I always love to give you gifts."
"You're way too kind, for your own good."
(Y/N) smiled, "So you've told me countless times before."
"I should probably give you something back, shouldn't I? Is there something you need?"
"I don't need much. I just," her cheeks turned pink, "I'd like to spend the rest of the day with you. Is that something you can do for me?"
Looking away, Felix felt the heat turns Ing up his cheeks, "... I suppose."
And so, the couple spent the rest of the day in each other's company. (Y/M) had succeeded. She was finally able to cheer him up.
