A/N: Hey I just wanted to start a new fanfic because I noticed that I only seem to have one... Well I wanted to a ship fic and this is my first time attempting to do this so please keep that in mind. I've been really into FE Fates lately so why not? Also this is my OTP and I noticed Leokumi fics have been lacking on this site last time I checked, so I really wanted to try this out. This might be 3 chapters long, but I'm not sure so no promises. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem. If I did you'd see an S rank for Leo and Takumi and it'd be beautiful

Leo's Denial

Third Person POV:

Leo was just heading towards the library when he overheard his sisters talking as soon as he walked in. Now he knew he wasn't the only who goes to the library, but it bothered him that all Camilla and Elise seemed to be doing was chatting. To make it worse they were talking in the isle next to the history section, so he'd most likely hear whatever they're talking about. He tried ignoring their conversation with not much success.

"Camilla, I have a question," He overheard Elise say.

"Sure, darling, what is it?" Leo could hear Camilla's motherly tone she always used on her siblings when she answered.

"Do you know how people fall in love?" Leo wanted to just walk away and never turn back once this subject popped up, but Leo still needed to find this book he was desperately looking for. It wasn't like he didn't want his sisters to be with anybody, he wanted them to be happy with whoever as long as they treated them right, it's just he in particular wasn't looking for anybody. He didn't have a reason to find love, right now his goal was to just help Xander keep peace with Hoshido. His sisters still didn't seem to notice him cruising through his isle while forced to listen to their conversation.

"Hmm well that's not the easiest to explain, Elise. Some people fall in love in different ways," Camilla points out. Damn, Leo really want's to find his book right about now, but of course he can't seem to locate the thing when he needs it most.

"Well, what about telling me what tends to happen when people fall in love," Elise suggested.

"Okay, I'll try," she said thoughtfully.

"Well sometimes it shows in similar interests, but most of the time it shows in their loyalty for each other. They have to believe in them, and sometimes romantic love can be even deeper than that, depending on the couple. Just being with each other makes them really happy, and it shows when they're even around other people," Camilla explained. Aha! Finally, he found just the book he was looking for. He opened the first page he was about to read when-

"Oh… So like how Leo acts around Takumi?" Leo slammed his book shut as soon as that sentenced was uttered from Elise's mouth. He winced a little from possibly hurting a book, but his impulses got the better of him.

"Yes, exactly," Camilla answered with a giggle when she figured who was in the next isle. He marched other to the isle where his sisters were at, seething with book in hand.

"Takumi and I are not lovers," Leo said with gritted teeth. These girls and their ludicrous imaginations.

"Why Leo, you two are practically soulmates with the way you two smile at each other," Camilla said with a sweet tone that held a tone that antagonized him to no end. Even her kind smile showed a smirk within her while Leo's cheeks turned a slight pink. His little sister's words said afterwards weren't any better either.

"You know, now that I think about it, whenever Takumi visits Nohr or we visit Hoshido we never tend to see you guys until we eat or until departure." Oh this was humiliating. He tried to keep his voice level as even as possible while tightening his fingers around his book in frustration while coming up with a reply.

"You two know as well as I do that it's just friendship and nothing more." He cringed as he noticed his voice was wavering with anger and embarrassment.

"Oh really? Now tell me, did Takumi suggest that book you're holding for you? And I'm guessing the stares you give to each other is strictly platonic," Camilla said while raising an eyebrow. He knew she wasn't trying to tease anymore and was trying to put what he thinks are untrue facts in his ears. Elise seemed to jump in too.

"Oh! And remember the time where Takumi fell and you grabbed his hand, what about that?" Leo's cheeks soon became a tomato red. He only saved him because it was the right thing to do! And the only reason he wanted to read the book is because Takumi loved history almost as much as he did.

After those remarks he couldn't find anything to make them know otherwise so he marched off.

He doesn't really stare at Takumi like that, does he?

A/N: Okay first chapter completed! You can imagine Elise with whoever you want, but I wanted it to focus more on Leokumi so I didn't mention who it was she was talking about when asking about how to be 'in love'. So I hope you're enjoying this so far and make sure to R&R to tell me how I'm doing so far!
