"Hey, Lutz?" Kanna says. "You love me, right?"

Lutz raises his eyebrows. How did this topic come up? They were talking in her room about the army. Heck, they were even laughing about dumb things happening in the army, like Felicia losing Prince Corrin's dragonstone.

"Yeah, of course I do! I mean, I almost love you more than my wyvern," he grins, but then he frowns when he realizes she isn't laughing. "...Kidding."

She plays with her scarf for a moment, then she lets out a shaky breath. "I'm sorry. I-I... just don't want you to leave me, okay?"

It dawns on him that she was having one of those days again. Those days when Kanna remembers how alone she felt growing up without her parents. Out of all the children in the army, she's probably the most afraid to be left behind. Lutz mentally slaps himself for forgetting and giving out a dumb answer.

"Hey!" he says. "I will never, ever leave you. Alright?"

Kanna smiles and tears start rolling down her cheeks. She wipes them away. "I'm a mess."

He grins again. "You're my mess."

"That makes absolutely no sense, dork!" she laughs this time. "I love you."

"I love you too."


I'm an actual Lutz/Kanna dork (DONT JUDGE ME) But it's actually pretty hard to write good drabbles when all you know about one of the characters is that he's naive and obedient. But I make do-

I'll take some suggestions about who to pair her/him with next :0 I don't really know a lot of the kids, so

Thanks!
