Of Dawn and Mercenaries
Description: Basically a series of one-shot fanfiction with different couplings and friendships. The rating is going to stay pretty low, because it was written for a forum where sexual references are rather prohibited. However, some of the one-shots will contain blood, such as this first one, Pelleas/Micaiah, that I'm posting.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fire Emblem, Intelligent Systems or Nintendo.

"...Your Majesty, I can't do this!"
Never before had she felt like this. So many times, she had taken lives herself... many were innocent. Yet, for some reason, she couldn't do this. She held the knife in her hand; she had been ready to do the deed when something began to hold her back.
Something...
"Please, Micaiah. I beg of you. You must do this... it's for the sake of the country. If you don't... kill me, the entire country may die..."
"...Your Majesty..." She tried her hardest to hold back her tears. "I... don't know if I can... there might be another way..."
"We don't have the time to find out," the king said quietly. "Micaiah... if it's your feelings holding you back, then... I will hand the duty to someone else."
"...My... feelings...? But... but Your Majesty, I..."
He took her hand. "Please, don't lie to me. I can see it in your eyes. I... truly admire your kind, loving spirit... that's why I wanted it to be you. But if you can't do it..."
"...Pelleas... I've made up my mind." She grasped his hand back, fighting off the tears. "...I will save Daein. Even if it means... killing you. I... I'm sorry... I couldn't do anything to prevent this."
"Don't worry about that now, Micaiah," he said. "...We will, someday, meet again, I assure you."
"Yes... Pelleas... my king..." she said quietly. "...I... love you."
"I love you too, Micaiah," he stated.
Leaning forward, in an attempt to calm her, he kissed her. Closing her eyes, she kissed back, pleased that she at least gave him his first kiss before he died. As she broke away, she gave him one last affectionate gaze.
"Please, Micaiah... do it now."
"Yes... Pelleas. I'll do it... for you... and for you alone."
She did the deed as swiftly and as painlessly as she could. He fell forward onto her, the last of his life draining out in the form of his blood, which stained her clothing. Dropping the knife, she laid him gently down on the floor.
"...Pelleas... I'll miss you."

Author's Note: ...Yeah, I derived the name from the MASH theme song. Go ahead, shoot me. xx It's 2:30 in the morning and I'm having trouble thinking of good names for chapters... I might end up changing things later on, though, so keep an eye out to make sure I'm not cheesebreath the whole way. ;d
