Heyyy! Um, I've sorta been in Fire Emblem Fates hell since November and I haven't stopped. So I figured that it was time to make some fanfictions! ;3 Although I have barely anytime to update due to family matters, I want to keep trying. So I'll try adding little snipits of the story every now and then. Chapters will likely be pretty short, but I hope its okay!
Elise giddily bounced down the crowded hallways with her meek best friend calmly by her side. She was utterly excited today, Xander had agreed to let her help him with handing out flyers later that day, and the final bell of the bell just rang. Sakura smiled warmly at Elise's happiness, the two girls' brothers were fighting to win the title of Student President who were also rivals in everything they did. Yet, although having their brothers hate each other, the two younger sisters were best friends. Sakura wanted to help out Elise as well since they were both neutral and helped both parties in the endless bickering, but she was already late for her flower arrangement club so she sped up her pace.
"E-Elise, I have to go on to Flower Arranging, I'll try to help out another time. I'm sorry..." Sakura frowned realizing how late she was.
Elise nodded, "Don't be sorry, it's not your fault! Now hurry! Before you get anymore late!" Elise replied worriedly, she'd be guilty for the rest of the day if she got Sakura in trouble. She was so sweet that it was impossible to hate her.
"See you tomorrow then!" Sakura panted as she ran the other way, waving her best friend goodbye as she headed to the club.
Elise smiled, waving back to her friend as she continued walking down the hall. She hummed to herself softly, she'd never seen this 'Ryoma' that Xander talked about. He always seemed to be badmouthing Sakura's brother and made him seem like a bad person. But she knew Xander exaggerates sometimes when he dislikes someone. She wondered what he was like, apparently he's in the kendo club that Ms. Reina runs and he's also pretty high up there in the student council too just like her own brother. Xander did sports too, but not as much, he was more into literature and dusty old textbooks older than your grandma. Xander was head of the football team and book club, but he calls it the 'Literature Appreciation Association' which is just something fancy to spruce up the name. But she'd seen Ryoma's name on the trophy display far more than her brother's. He was the captain of the baseball, kendo, and swimming team but this 'Ryoma' was also smart too, he won all these awards and stuff from teachers liking him. Ryoma and Xander were on par with everything they did.
Elise shuddered as she remembered that one time when Xander and Ryoma got into a full on brawl during gym, although being a lot less athletic, Xander could still hold up a fight with Ryoma. She remembered her father having to go to school to be talked to by the principal.
That day, when Xander came home, he was covered in bruises, had a sprained wrist, and was bleeding all over his face. Apparently Xander hit Ryoma pretty hard too according to Sakura when she saw Ryoma come home. She said Ryoma look like he got attacked by a monster or something but he was seething with anger.
But Elise put that all in the back of her mind as she stood in front of the Student Council door, bursting in she smiled, "I'm here!"
But the room was empty, the jubilant girl pouted, welp, that was awkward, but she found a stack of papers on the desk where her brother sat. Picking it up, she nodded as she saw her brother's name on them, promoting his campaign. She set her backpack down in an empty desk and straightened her blouse that got pushed up from her backpack and jumping.
"Alright! Now to pass these out and get some work done!" Elise giggled giddily, opening the door and handing out flyers to anyone she saw. Her cuteness helped spread the papers faster than expected, except for one person...
"Xander for Student President! He's the best! Take a flyer for voting information!" Elise shouted, waving the papers up in the air until she saw a boy with long ash colored hair walk by with a dark grimace on his face. "Here! Take one!" Elise said warmly, thrusting a paper into his face.
The boy scowled, "Ugh, that's a no. I'm voting for Ryoma, not that dork. I don't want your paper." Elise felt her joy shrivel up for a moment.
"Ryoma? Him?"
"You're spouting nonsense against him but you don't even know what he stands for. How annoying." he hissed, but whipped out a paper from his binder, pushing it all up in her face just like she had with the flyer she tired to give him moments ago. "This guy," he pointed, proud of who he was voting for, "that's Ryoma."
Elise blinked, trying to get a good view of the image of Ryoma, but it was definitely hard with all of the boy's thrashing arm as he tried to make his point. Suddenly, he put it back in his bag and walked away briskly. The girl sighed, sometimes people were just jerks like that. But she was curious as to how Ryoma looked, so putting her papers down, she ventured down the hallway to where the boy was, looking for any papers from Ryoma.
But in the distance, her entire mood lit up as she saw her brother down the hall, pulling off some papers and posting up his own. "Xander!" Elise chimed, running down the hall to meet her older brother who smiled softly back to her.
"Elise, I was down here taking down some flyers, sorry I didn't go see you." Xander spoke, but his eyes never met hers as he was focused on the task of pasting his flyers up.
"No worries, I finished handing out of most of the flyers you set on the table. I'm just taking a break." Elise smiled, but paid close attention to what her brother was busying himself with. She watched with wondering eyes. Xander practically ripped off some red flyers off the concrete walls with annoyance before plastering flyers for his campaign.
She stared at the heap of red flyers on the floor before picking up one from the pile. She looked at the picture of the man in the center of the page, above it was his name, Ryoma. "Huh... so this is Ryoma," she said to herself as she observed his features, blocking out Xander's rambling.
Ryoma had long brown hair and was really built, his jaw was sharp and so was his features. His face was serious and strong, but she could feel warmth behind them even in a piece of paper. His hair flowed back prettily like a river and he looked really cool, dare she say it, cooler than her own brother. "...that muzzling mutt, he doesn't deserve..." Xander grumbled as he put up more flyers. "Could you go throw those in the trash where they belong?"
"Kinda cute..." Elise whispered to herself softly.
Xander's neck snapped her way, "What?", his voice sharp, wondering if he heard her correctly.
"Nothing!" Elise smiled, picking up more papers from the ground. She wondered if Xander knew that Sakura and her put up those flyers during lunch. Making her way back down the hall, Elise tossed the papers into the recycling bin by the corner before going back to the papers she was handing out before. But they were gone, she pouted but then smiled, If they're gone, someone must've taken them! That's good! Well it's getting pretty dark now though... I'll have to catch the late bus if I want to finish my homework. So the peppy girl looked into the Student Council room to get her backpack and walked right on in. But she froze as she saw someone in the dark in the corner of the classroom with a long ponytail. His hair was long and busy but out of his face as he was writing down something by the window in the room. He looked up surprised as his reading glasses tilted down to reveal his eyes.
"May I help you?"
Elise blinked, it was Ryoma, he was definitely a lot better looking in person rather than in the photo. Her chest was tight as she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Ryoma was surprising really good looking, it made her face burn red a bit.
"Is something the matter? Are you lost? I haven't seen you before in this school." clarified Ryoma, getting up to help her, thinking she was a newcomer lost in the endless maze of their school.
"Oh... um... this is the Student Council room right?"
Ryoma nodded, a slight smile on his lips, "Yes, did you need something?"
He was close now, really close. Well maybe for her, but he was huge and tall, a lot like Xander but a lot more muscular. He was wearing a red varsity jacket decorated with his name and number from baseball. But the man loomed over her, with a questioning look in his eyes as to why she was so utterly speechless.
"I just needed to get my backpack, that's all! Sorry about that!" Elise smiled, stepping behind him to grab her backpack. He nodded and smiled gently once more. But Elise could feel her heart racing though, Woah, he actually smiles and shows emotion somewhat unlike Xander. I can sorta understand why people would vote for him.
"You're Sakura's brother right?" Elise asked, trying to muster the courage to not sound like an absolute child.
Ryoma nodded, "Yes, do you know her?"
"Yeah! She's my best friend! You're both really nice so it makes sense." Elise chimed. Wait, I just accidently sorta flirted with him! No! That's so embarrassing... I didn't even know him for five minutes and now I'm...! Yeah he's good looking but he's Sakura's brother! My best friend!
"I'm glad, it's hard for her to make friends since she isn't very good at speaking with others. I hope you two stay that way. If I'm correct, you're Elise? It's nice to meet you." said the man as he opened the door for her. Elise's heart lurched in her chest, she wanted so badly to tell him she was Xander's sister for some reason but she didn't have the will to say it.
"Oh thank you," Elise replied as she exited the door, "But yes, I'm Elise! See you around!" she waved as she walked towards the buses. But her heart raced, Oh man... he's super nice, Sakura's lucky to have a brother like him. I shouldn't think about it... but he's really good looking... He probably already has a girlfriend though, like look at him! Whoever he's with is super duper ultra lucky now that I think about it.
But a certain pink haired girl, knocked her out of her thoughts, "Elise, did you have fun after school?" smiled Sakura, the same one she and her brother share.
Elise grinned, "Sure did!" She hopped up the stairs of the bus, and sat in a seat with Sakura, "You've got a really nice brother though, ya know? Xander is always so uptight all the time, I sorta wonder if he has a stick up his butt all day!"
The girls laughed, "Yeah, Ryoma is really nice, I'm glad he's not super mean or scary. I sometimes feel bad for Kaze." Sakura added. "Oh! Elise, you have to get off! The bus is going to start moving again!" Sakura gasped.
Elise looked out the window to see her house slowly vanish from view, "Ah! No! Stop the bus!" Elise yelped, jumping over Sakura to get off the bus, "See you Sakura!" she called out to her friend who waved back warmly.

Phew! That took me a while, I'm really rusty since I haven't written anything in a while but remembering all the details of a story in your head is hard while you're writing it -_- But I'll try to update every now and then, so it might be drabbles from time to time, but not always since I'm not really a drabble person. Hope you guys enjoyed! Until next chapter!
