Note: I've never personally did this pairing, but I'm a huge fan of Laslow. I thought it'd be fun if I made my own take on it, what with Laslow's backstory. Enjoy!

Damn me… I can't… but… Corrin's thoughts were all over the place. Everything had hit her like a bus. This wasn't supposed to happen! She wasn't supposed to-

"Ah, Lady Corrin!" Someone called.

Damn, damn, damn! Dammit all! She recognized the voice; it belonged to the root of her problems.

"Milady, may I say that you look extremely beautiful today!" Corrin looked up to see Laslow doing his signature wink and winning smile. Corrin's cheeks turned slightly red.

"O-oh… Hello, Laslow," Corrin replied steadily. She couldn't tell him of all the problems she was having. She couldn't let him know…

"Are you okay today, milady? Your cheeks seem a bit red. Are you exhausted? Maybe you should take a load off. No worries!" Laslow spouted all at once. He took a bag off of his back and removed a blanket. "Take this, Lady Corrin! Take a nap!"

"Laslow…" Corrin's cheeks became even redder. "Right here? Do you understand the dangers of me sleeping here? Unprotected?"

"Your words hurt more than a Hoshidan's blade, milady. I will, of course, watch over you!" Laslow smiled and winked once again. Corrin's face really heated up.

"You know what? I think I will take a nap. I won't even ask why you have the blanket. Thanks, Laslow." Corrin got comfortable on the ground and pulled the blanket over her. She had very long hair, but didn't mind that she was going to have to clean and brush it well.

If I take a nap, maybe I'll forget about this whole thing. Maybe I'll forget that I… I… Corrin fell asleep before she could finish the thought.

Let's see here… Basket, check… Wine, check… Laslow checked through the contents of his bag. Now… where is it? Ah, here we go. Laslow found his precious item. It's all or nothing…

Laslow went about his business, setting all his things out on the grass. Corrin slept for what seemed like hours, though in reality it was only around twenty minutes. Laslow took a look over at Corrin every now and then, making sure she was all right. He saw Odin come walking by.

"Ahoy there, La-"

"Sh!" Laslow stopped his old friend. "Lady Corrin is asleep!"

"Oh. Sorry. So… why is she asleep on the grass?" Odin asked, confused.

"She was tired, so I let her use the blanket I had."

"Wait… you don't mean… THE blanket? The blanket of everlasting strife?"

"Would you please stop calling it that? I know I've an… eccentric personality, but I'm serious about this!" Laslow scolded.

"Very well. Good luck… Inigo."

"Thanks… can I ask you a favor? I need you to use some magic or something and heat this up." Laslow held up a small, round object.

"No problem, pal." Odin cast a simple fire spell to heat up Laslow's object. Odin stuck his thumb up before walking away.

That man… I'm not sure what to do with him, but I don't know what I'd do without him. Laslow sighed. He finished his preparations.

"Urgh…" Corrin's eyes opened slowly. She sat up quickly, not realizing how bright it still was outside. "What in the-"

"Take your time, Lady Corrin," Laslow suggested.

"Wa! Laslow! You startled me…" Corrin turned to look at the man. She felt her face heating up.

Damn… I guess this is real. Corrin was mad at herself. She couldn't have a distraction like this; she had an army to lead!

"Lady Corrin, if you'll direct your eyes this way…" Laslow gestured with his hand and moved away from Corrin. There, she saw the contents of his bag all laid out on the grass.

"Oh my Gods! Laslow… is this all for me?" Corrin stood up and walked over. There was a picnic basket with a somehow-still-heated pot of tea.

Thanks, Odin…

"Of course, Lady Corrin! I did this for you! Well, us. That's why I had the blanket, to set up a beautiful picnic!" Laslow smiled.

"Laslow! That's so nice of you!" Corrin ran at the man and gave him a big hug. She quickly pulled away, with both her and Laslow's cheeks turning a bright red.

"I don't mind at all! Here, take a seat. Let's eat!" Laslow gestured a spot on the grass for Corrin to sit, as he sat right next to her.

The two ate together. Corrin and Laslow both enjoyed picnicking with the other.

"Laslow… there's something I need to tell you," Corrin began.

"Yes? Anything for you, milady."

"I… I… well… I think I-"

"Actually, Lady Corrin, there's something I need to tell you first." Sweat poured down his forehead as his cheeks turned a bright color.

"Um… yes. I mean, go ahead. It's probably better that you go first."

"Well…" Laslow stuck a hand in his pocket, fidgeting with the item inside. "You see, the thing is… Lady Corrin… I know you're Lord Xander's sister, but I…"

"You can say it Laslow. I promise I won't think less of you," Corrin reassuringly swore.

"I… This can do the talking for me." Laslow pulled the object out of his pocket and presented it to Corrin. Her face turned bright red.

"Laslow! What is this? Is this an-"

"Yes. This is an engagement ring. I love you, Lady Corrin, and if you'd be mine, I'd be yours." Laslow got down on one knee and smiled up at Corrin.

"I… Yes! Laslow, I love you too! I realized it recently, and had no idea what to do about it. But if you truly feel the same way, then I accept with all my heart!" Corrin's cheeks lit up.

"Well… Before I officially ask you the question… you must understand. I come from somewhere far, far away, and will have to return there one day. I love you, but I couldn't marry you just to abandon you later."

"Do you know what love entitles, Laslow?" Corrin asked, taking his hand. "It means that I'll follow you to the ends of the earth. It means that I'll fight the gods just to spend a moment of time with you. I don't mind having to do anything, as long as I get to spend the time with you!" Corrin hugged Laslow.

"Then…" Laslow held the ring up. "Will you marry me, Lady Corrin?"

"You already know my answer, Laslow… yes. Yes, I'll marry you." Corrin smiled at her new fiance.

"Corrin… I can't express how happy you've made me."

"I feel the same way, Laslow. I feel the same way."

"Well, shall we go and tell the others?" Laslow proposed, offering his hand.

"Yes, let's." Corrin took Laslow's hand and walked side by side with him back to camp. She was ready to spend her life with this enigma of a man.
