You know…

Well, this is just the first of a series of related-or-not (as you see it) Legault/Heath drabbles, therefore slash as I am quite certain that both of them are males; no plot whatsoever.

I thought of this one when I tried to picture how Legault would act around in camp, and how he'd twist every remark to his advantage...also, I'm sure Sain is hard to live with...especially in the morning, I don't know why...all in all, I found it quite amusing to write.

Fire Emblem and its characters of course don't belong to me, and in no way am I making profits with this.

Enjoy!

#1Familiar Intrusion

Heath smiled in appreciation at the camp's hustle. It was quite early, and yet it was already bustling with soldiers running about to complete their preparations. He stepped out of the way as a familiar red-head sprinted past him. "Good-day, Sir Kent!" He called back with a chuckle as the other whirled around to nod at him.

"Hasn't really been so far..." The man muttered as he shook his head. "The same to you, Sir Heath. Now pardon me, but I should make haste towards a...more remote location..." He said quickly as he sent a few looks behind him before going back to running.

The wyvern rider wondered what it was all about when he felt a tap on his shoulder. Turning around, he was face to face - and actually mere inches away - from the source of Kent's escape. "Sir Sain...how can I be of assistance?" He asked carefully as he took a few steps back, slightly miffed by how the other had so carelessly invaded his personal space.

Sain waved the politeness away as he pouted. "Where did Kent go? I know he ran by here, and I also know he wouldn't have done so without greeting you, the nice mongrel that he is..." He didn't even wait for the other to reply before speaking again. "And I'm just being really nice by spending my morning to give him these really awesome wooing lessons. He's so ungrateful!"

Heath mentally winced and empathized with Kent at that. But at the same time, Sain could be very persistent, persuasive, and innovative. Better not to get on the wrong side...

"He ran off towards Lady Lyndis' tent," Legault replied for him as he walked past them, smiling almost imperceptibly as Heath scoffed at him.

Sain's look darkened for a split-second before he smiled and thanked them. "Why, it will be the perfect occasion to test the results of these lessons!" He all but exclaimed before going in his comrade's direction.

"...When he hears of this, Kent is going to be wanting to kill you, you know..." Heath commented off-handedly to the thief as he watched the other go.

Legault shrugged and then turned to smile at him mysteriously. "But it's such a sweet devotion...too bad they are both blind to it though, wouldn't you say...?" He commented fondly as he studied his reactions.

Heath raised an eyebrow at him - no, he wouldn't say - but chose not to comment on it. Legault was still very vague and perplexing most of the time, and he had long since learned that questioning the man only brought forth more confusion - and much more exasperation.

So instead, he shrugged his shoulders and resumed his walk towards his wyvern.

"May I join you?" The master thief asked although he had already fallen in steps with him.

Heath casually waved a hand around. "Do what you will, Legault," He said non-commitally. Telling Legault to leave never seemed to work, and even thought he hated to admit it, he was getting used to his presence, and maybe - if only slightly - fond of it, too.

Besides, he thought with a smirk, it was always worth it to see Legault cower and step - hide - behind him when Hyperion wanted to greet them.

He then almost stopped in his tracks as he felt the other take his hand in his. "L-Legault! What do you think you're doing?" He asked in shock. He'd have never thought the other would go that far...!

The thief smiled coyly at him and shrugged as he kept walking and tugged on his hand. "You did say 'do what you will', did you not?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a look that in other circumstances, and on other people, might have looked innocent. Might have.

"That," Heath started calmly as he looked at him deadpanned and snapped his hand back, "is bordering over-interpretation, Legault...really, you're impossible!" Sometimes, his mind added fairly, but as he wanted to remain firm, he didn't voice it.

"Well how can I expect you to ever fall in love with me if I always give up too easily?" The taller man asked with an amused smile as the other blushed.

"Legault!" Heath sputtered as he blushed furiously. "When will you ever finally stop this stupid game and just leave me be?"

Legault turned serious at this, grabbed his hand once more and pulled him closer. "I am serious, Heath. Very much so. I never want you to doubt that," He said softly as his gaze locked with the other's surprised amethyst one. "This is no game, nor has it ever been one," He added as the back of his hand very lightly stroked the other's cheek. He then nodded as he pulled back, returning to the wyvern rider the personal space he knew he cared about so much. "However, your wish is my command, so if leaving you be is what you'd have me do, then at least for now I will comply," He finished as he turned around to leave, not without having bowed exaggeratingly before.

Heath internally debated whether or not to call him back, but mostly on how to do so without losing his pride. "...Hyperion will be very disappointed not to scare you this morning..." He said nonchalantly as he continued his walk, smiling despite himself as the thief was back in steps with him in an instant.

"Didn't you mean 'try to chew me'? That lizard is out for my head," He teased off-handedly as if the previous conversation had never taken place, also smiling at the other, very much aware of his victory.

"You're overreacting. And he's not a lizard," Heath replied good-naturedly.

...Whether he liked it or not, Legault's presence was something he had undeniably gotten used to...

End#1

Well, this is it for now...please let me know what you thought of it, it really means a lot to me...

A second drabble should be up next week or so. Hope to see you again then!
