AN: I just wanted to say this story was developed from a prompt set that I found on tumblr. The original was from All of the Prompts so if you guys wants prompts, check the page out on tumblr =] Anyways, I've been really into Fire Emblem: Awakening and let me tell you, I fell head over heels for Chrom! The first time I played it, I didn't understand the support system so when Chrom married Sully instead of me, I was pissed! I was like, CHROMYOUTRAITORYOUUSEDMEFORMYTACTICIANSKILLSANDTHENYOULEDMEONANDTHENYOULEFTME! But then I restarted when I figured out how to work the support system and now we're happily married with a daughter named Lucina and a son named Morgan xD So without further ado, here's my new story!
Chrom loved his sisters dearly. They were his only family and as the only brother of the family, it was his duty to take care of them. They were his two favorite people in the world. Chrom didn't have any favorites when it came to the Shepherds. He treated everyone equally and he loved them as if they were his brothers and sisters. They were his comrades, his teammates, his companions. There was a word from a foreign land that described their relationship perfectly: nakama. Even his newest comrade, Robin, felt like family and it had only been a few days since Robin joined their ranks as a tactician.
But when it came to Ashe, things were different. Chrom did his best to put her in his "family" category but she wouldn't fit. She couldn't fit. He wondered if categorizing her as a "stranger" would work but it also failed. Questions circled in his mind as he watched Ashe spar with Vaike, her sword clashing against his axe. She was talented and pretty and she was definitely a woman.
So why didn't she fit in any categories?
Robin once said a phrase that Chrom found to be interesting. What was it again? "Apple of my eye"? Luckily, Robin was nearby when the thought popped into Chrom's head.
"Robin, remember that apple phrase you said last time? Could you explain it to me?"
Robin chuckled,
"The apple of my eye. It's a saying that describes how you feel about someone. For example, Exalt Emmaryn is the apple of your and Lissa's eyes because you cherish her and love her very much."
Chrom nodded in understanding and he turned towards Ashe when he heard her whooping for victory. Vaike was on the ground but he was laughing hysterically and Ashe joined his laughter when she helped him up.
"Vaike, you dumbass! You almost chopped my head off!" Sully roared.
Chrom shook his head and left the sparring grounds. Ashe wasn't the apple of his eye and he didn't have any plans for her to become the apple any time soon. Besides, he told himself as he glanced back at the pink-haired woman, she wasn't his type of woman.
