Author's Note: I plan to do the Alphabet challenge, which will be a collection of 26 drabbles. I do plan for them to all be Soren and Ike wether it is one- sided, love, or friendship.
Admiration - An object of wonder and esteem; a marvel
Ike had many fine qualities. He was able-bodied, strong willed and very kind.
The young branded, Soren, had a bond with his commander, one that ran deeper than any other in the mercenary troop. Soren looked up to Ike; He admired his courage even if it was often accompanied with naïveté.
Soren would not devote himself to just anyone. This person would have to earn his respect and Soren was always a tough code to crack, but Ike was the first person to do so. Ike was the only one Soren truly admired. Ike had earned his respect and proven himself a worthy friend a long time ago, worthy enough for Soren to devote his life to the blue haired commander.
Ike would swear that Soren's tactical genius was the reason for his success, but Soren would not except what he felt was not true. Soren knew it was Ike's willpower and determination that carried the small band of mercenaries. Ike had conquered many fierce foes and faced many challenges on his own, and honestly, that was one of the things that Soren admired the most, because without Ike, Soren wouldn't function half as well as he does within the group. Soren often comes across to people as the type to face everything alone, when in reality just having Ike as his friend and knowing Ike supports his ideas gives Soren the strength to continue what he does for the group and in Soren's eyes, Ike is the only man in all of Tellius worth being his commander.
