I like ignoring the fics I've already written.

I like it a lot.

Lethe hated beorcs, and she reminded Ike of this constantly. She hated the way they moved, she hated their smug tones when talking to her, she hated how they looked down on her. Because out of all of her traits, Lethe valued her pride the most. And beorcs took that away from her, and refused to give it back. She hated how beorcs used 'tools' to do their fighting for them, and mocked her when she could no longer control her beastform. She hated how Ike made sure that she ate with his stupid mercenary group. She hated how she always agreed to eat with his stupid mercenary group. She hated that Ike worried about her so much. But most of all, she hated Soren. She hated how Ike protected Soren from her. She hated how Ike always reminded her that Soren's life was harsh, and that Soren wasn't able to trust many people. She hated that Ike hoped that Soren would trust her.

Soren hated Lethe. He hated her ridiculous pride, he hated how she would never leave Ike alone for more than a minute. He hated how she had become between him and his friend, his only friend, his best friend. He hated how Ike always made sure that the three of them were near each other during a battle, to watch each other's backs. He hated that Ike constantly tried to get him to talk to her. But right now, he hated Ike. He hated how Ike protected him. He hated how Ike protected Lethe. He hated how Ike wouldn't let him call Lethe a sub-human anymore. He hated how Ike reminded him that they were no longer humans, they were beorcs. Soren hated that Ike would never let that go, always reminded Soren that they weren't human. Because Soren never felt human. Never felt like a beorc. He hated that Ike was so damn complacent towards beo-humans, he hated that Ike didn't hate lagu- sub-humans, like he did. He hated that he couldn't show Ike why he hated sub-humans so much.

Ike hated war. He hated how it tore families apart. He hated how it broke people inside. He hated that war had taken his father away from him, made him make his sister fight.

But, at the same time, Ike loved war. He loved the people it had let him meet. He loved being able to lead his mercenaries into battle. He loved the feeling as he fought, loved the feeling as he won. He hated war, but he loved his friends. He fought for his friends. He fought for Soren, for Lethe. He fought for the peace that war would bring, the peace that would let him go to Gallia, and bring Soren with him.

Still, Ike did hate. He hated how Soren mistrusted people. He hated how Lethe never let her guard down, always showing a shield to the world. But that didn't change the fact that he loved Soren, and he loved Lethe.

And he always would.

OXOXOXO
