Bonds of Sisterhood

"Hey, Sumia, what do you think about this one?"

The brunette turned around and stared at her friend (soon to be sister-in-law), blushing crimson when she saw what she'd picked out. One could hardly call it a dress; the sleeves were nonexistent, the chest area was so lowcut that Sumia could see the zipper at the back, and to top it off, the fabric stopped just below the knees, flowing behind the dress. It was a nightgown at best.

"Erm… Lissa, I don't quite think – "

"Relax, silly! I'm kidding!" the blonde said, giggling while turning around to face the flushed Sumia. "I know we've been friends for a while, and we've really been hitting it off, but I couldn't help testing you one more time!"

Sumia was confused. "Testing me?"

Lissa giggled again. "I have to know that you're absolutely the one for my brother! I could never have a clean conscience if I didn't tell him his fiancée was a complete airhead."

The blonde resumed dress-gawking while Sumia simply stared. So there was somebody who truly didn't think she was an airhead? She supposed Chrom hadn't thought so, even though he'd never said it, but he also didn't say he didn't think so, so there was always the possibility that he thought she was pretty stupid, but then again if he thought she was so stupid, then why would he want to marry her right now?

"Argh, this is so confusing!" Sumia shrieked, placing her hands on her head. Lissa turned around to face her once more, herself confused now.

"Are you okay, Sumia? What's wrong?"

Sumia pulled her hands away and sighed. "No, it's nothing. I've just been thinking too much." She decided to push everything away. For the moment, all that mattered was that she was the one Chrom chose, right? She didn't have to be jealous of any other girl or worry about any other girl stealing her blue-haired love away from her. It was probably best not to think about it, in any case.

She glanced around the small dress shop, looking for anything that might catch her ey –

"I found it!" she gasped. In an instant she found herself running towards the beautiful piece of white cloth, surprised that she wasn't tripping over her own feet (those boots of hers again…).

Lissa quickly followed after, her own eyes landing on the dress. It definitely did seem like the best thing for Sumia; it would suit her quite well.

It was simple yet elegant, the sleeves coming just past the shoulder on the mannequin. Its veil was attached, a brilliant lace, and the upper chest was cut just low enough to show cleavage, but not enough to make it look trashy. At the bottom, where it reached the floor, was some more white lace just at the trim and around the back where it flowed for a foot or so.

"It's beautiful," Sumia said, reaching out to touch the soft fabric.

The blonde instantly agreed. "I think this dress is perfect for you, Sumia."

Sumia turned to face Lissa, beaming. "Do you really think so?"

Lissa grinned. "Of course! When my brother sees you in it, he's gonna go weak in the knees – you'll look stunning!" She reached her own hand out and felt the softness, admiring it.

A huge smile plastered itself onto the brunette's face. "Thank you, Lissa."

The blonde whipped her head around. "For what?"

Sumia giggled. "For everything."

Lissa smiled in return. "Anything for my sister-in-law."

A/N: Hey, guys! Welcome to my first attempt at some drabbles :) I hope I'm doing it right, haha. As far as I know, drabbles are anything below 1k words, and are mainly about anything, so I don't think there IS a way to do it wrong, but...y'know, if there was a wrong way to do it, I'd probably find it heh.

Anyway, I've got some other chapters coming out pretty soon, probably, including a GaiusxMaribelle, EirikaxSeth, LynxKent, and others. It'll most likely focus more on FE13 (Awakening), but I'm open to requests! That is, if you guys like me enough to request one...meh. I'll stop ranting now. Thanks for reading! It means a lot. Oh, and if you're not too busy, leave a review, please!

[Edit: Thanks to Tsuna 4 Cn4s for pointing out a very minor mistake :P Fixed it!]
