"Well, that's that! Now time to sleep or else I'm gonna regret sleeping so late tomorrow." I smiled as I snuggled underneath my bed sheets, but then remembering my light was still on turned round, reached for the light and 'click' lights off.
…
"What is she doing here? She alright?" I furrowed my brows, but like those dreams that sometimes occurred to me part of me was conscious, knew I was asleep, and another still had a foot in my dreams. I remained for the most part unconscious. "What happened, Lissa?"
"SHHH! Relax, she's just asleep."
"But on the floor? Is she alright?"
A sigh. "Yes, she's really just asleep."
Silence. "Well, we can't just leave her lying here in the cold hard ground. Let's wake her up."
"NO, CHROM! Gosh, you can be so dense sometimes. She must've fallen asleep here because she's been so exhausted lately. You're always putting her to work."
Silence.
"You gotta let her rest sometimes, you know."
"What do you propose I do then?"
"Ugh, really? I don't know…you're strong- carry her back to camp!"
"Alright."
"Gently!"
And like that I woke up from the feel of my body being moved. As consciousness flew in and I realized I was only inches apart from a familiar yet inexplicably frightening face I yelped and fell off his arms.
"Jenny!" The two of them shouted.
No! This can't be happening- this CAN'T be! I looked back at them and away in confusion. What was going on? Was I dreaming? But I thought I woke up. No, I did wake up. Then? I stared back at them and they seemed to be just as confused as I was. Or maybe I woke from a dream unto another dream? I mean could I do that? Yeah, probably…probably…even though it felt so real. So strange. "Whoa! What a bizarre dream!" I laughed nervously.
The one clearly resembling Chrom, Prince of Ylisse, seemed to be washed over with relief and smiled back at me. "Really? Well, lying around in the ground will give you strange dreams, Jenny."
"Yeah! Wait, what? Ground? No!" Oh no. I panicked again. Not a dream! This, this dream!
"Uh, Jenny? You alright?" A short blonde Lissa asked.
No. This felt too real to be a dream and they, they acted like they were too real to be a dream. Can dream characters know they're dreams? Or do they like think themselves real? Maybe that's it. Yeah, probably. Maybe I should go with it…
"She doesn't look too well, Chrom." Lissa announced sternly while a frightened Jenny stared back silently, lost in thought.
"No kidding. Wh-?"
"It's all your fault! You've worked her too hard! Look at her! She's obviously SICK IN THE HEAD!"
Sick in the head? I felt myself twitching, wanting to laugh. Oh gods this couldn't be right! No! I'm even beginning to talk like them! Okay, maybe I'll try explaining to them how this is unreal and they're just vide-
"Wait! What are you doing! Stop!"
"Taking you to bed," Chrom smiled. "You must be tired. I'll take you back to your tent and we'll just talk tomorrow, okay?"
I stared back dumbfounded. My heart seemed to be racing and my face burning. I was speechless. His smile grew wider as he softly reached again for my lower back and prepared to lift me up and carry me to God knows where.
"No! Stop! HAHAHA that tickles please stop!" I couldn't stop laughing. No one, no man, had ever come that close and it was both very embarrassing as ticklish. Dream or not, I didn't really like what was going on. I pushed his hand away gently. "No." I replied. "No, it's okay. I can walk."
Chrom stared back at me curiously. His smile returned within seconds though and he teased, "Well better get used to it. We'll be married as soon as we return home."
I felt my face set into flames. "MARRIED?!"
Chrom seemed about to open his mouth when Lissa interrupted. "Chrom you dolt! You don't tease a girl like that! Engaged or not! Come on, Jenny!" she brusquely grabbed my hand and dragged me away. "I honestly don't even understand what you saw in him in the first place to say yes!"
*Author's note:* So kinda an idea I've had for some time between MU and Chrom (naturally other characters will appear) and finally I've put into words! :)
Not sure if it's too good, so this is more like a trial balloon and if people seem interested I'll continue and if not meh~the rest will be up to me. I want to work on it more either way, but so far this is part of what I have ^^
If anyone feels the need/want please review! :) It'd be greatly appreciated!
