For FE Rarepair Week 2k17. Day 1 prompt: Sun.
I'm collecting all of these into one work so I don't spam the Recent Fics as I have a tendency to do.
Quick preface for those reading anything Fates related by me for the first time: Isaiah is Laslow/Inigo. His alias is different because of me taking his father (Gregor) into account which impacted his personality. Laslow is a bit of a harsh name which clashes with his gentle personality.
Takes place in year 2161.
Oboro's hair clung to her face as she panted and a cry split the air. She laid back and closed her eyes, head spinning.
"She's beautiful." She heard Isaiah's soft voice fill with wonder before she cracked an eye and smiled. The tiny infant's cry filled the room, but nobody minded.
Isaiah settled next to her and she opened her arms, Isaiah transferring their daughter to her hold. "She really is." She smiled down at her daughter and rocked her, a gentle but subdued energy settling into her entire being.
It was hard to believe just how far she'd come over the past several years. She'd gone from pining over Takumi every moment to being able to love another man, marry, and bear him a child. Part of her would always belong to her prince, but she had moved on. The tiny girl in her arms had proven that beyond the shadow of a doubt. She'd thought she would always chase after her prince but…
She leaned up and kissed Isaiah, pulling back after a moment. "What should we name her?" he asked.
Oboro fell silent as she thought. It was difficult to think after the labor, but her mind flicked through possibilities nonetheless. A warm smile graced her face after she settled on one.
"...Soleil."
The Nestran word for sun. She'd picked it up from one of Princess Elise's many foreign language lessons.
It really was a perfect name. Isaiah had rescued her from the darkest chapter of her life. Watching Flora and Takumi grow closer day by day while she drifted away from him centimeter by centimeter had hurt. Takumi had been the moon that had illuminated her dark nights…but she'd found the sun in return for losing him.
Isaiah smiled and placed a soft kiss on her lips. "Get some rest, dear; Soleil and I will be here when you wake up."
