Blondes Are Happier
Fire Emblem Awakening©Nintendo
[a/n]Greeting readers! I present you stories about one of my OTP which is, sadly, lacks fanworks in number. Not much to say about this one, tho.
As written in the summary, each chapter stands alone with no particular order with another. It means after a chapter about marriage life, it can be a story about their first meeting, and such.
Second generation characters and other first generation pairings will come up later.
No BETA. So please if you find any errors, OOCs, anything you like or do not like, please do not hesitate to tell me!
Wounded
While complaining non-stop about his brash behavior, every shepherd had to admit that Vaike is the one with the biggest strength of them all. He was recruited by the prince himself after all - not only by being his best friend, he had proved his prowess in the battlefield. The fighter impressed even the recently-recruited tactician of the small army.
Robin raised an eyebrow in surprise and confusion in their first battle, when Vaike forgot his axe behind somewhere. He had no choice Frederick ordered him to stay back until he got his weapon. He can only wait in vexation until Miriel arrived to the battlefield with a stoic face and an axe in her hand before giving the iron weapon to the fighter.
"Hey, Robin!" he called the freshman tactician, "I got my axe here! Ready to see Teach in action?"
"Sure, let's see what you've got," Robin reciprocate the smug face.
Without saying anything but a loud clamoring, Vaike charges into the swarm of the enemies, and manages to hit and defeat some Risens in few hits.
"C'mon! Which one of you gonna face the Vaike?" he proudly challenged. But to his own gaffe, a sudden magical fire attack from an enemy mage hit his defenseless body, followed by a swift swordsman swings. He grunted in pain from the surprise, but luckily, a precise shoot from the strange long-haired archer successfully took a Risen down.
"Watch out! Vaike, retreat!" the tactician called. "Stahl, Sully, go now!"
The two knights charged forward while the big guy moved back, holding his hurt limbs.
"So careless again, huh?" Chrom teased his best friend, "looks like you haven't got enough evading lesson!" he laughed even when wielding Falchion.
"I'm just a little unlucky! Teach's gonna get back there soon!" Vaike replied, "oi, I need some treatment here!"
He heard the sound of stomping feet and stick on the ground, followed by a snort.
"Be patient, would you?" Lissa came to his side with furrowed brow. "if you don't want an extra scar on your head, stay calm until I finish casting spell on your wound!"
"Oh, please, just do it already!" he whimpered. It didn't take long for the healer to take care of the shallow cut and burns. Right after the painful sensation's gone, the fighter immediately rose and ran forward to the battle, leaving the princess let out a tired sigh.
"This is the ninth time I used my healing staff on you!" Lissa grumbled as he healed Vaike again.
"I know, you said it was the eighth last time," he rolled his eyes, "I am not so smart but I can count, you know."
"If you can count you probably can think before rushing into an enemy soldier like that!"
"Hey, but the Vaike's gotta attack and finish the Risens! Robin said that-"
"Don't blame this on Robin! Unbeli-"
"Blame Robin what?" Chrom interrupted, the two silenced from their quarrel. "Robin did a good job for a beginner. Besides, we won this round, right?" he said calmly and continues, "And for you, this is a good combat lesson for you both."
After her brother left, Lissa let out another sigh after healing Vaike's last wound, "now I have to get a new staff, this one's overused."
"You gotta be grateful you can spend it on Vaike's fine body."
"Next time you buy me a new staff!" she smacked his head with her staff the last time before taking a rest.
