SPOILERS

It is probably obvious to most, but for those who don't know about the siblings you need to turn back if you don't want SPOILERS.

Being primarily from Nohr, the dragon princess Seriea was given the cold shoulder for a long while by Hosidans. Especially her younger brother, Takumi – who was adamant about how much he did not trust her. Eventually they warmed up to her though, with a little help from Azura and her good deeds she was seen as trustworthy. Friends were made and people began to respect her as a princess of Hoshido along side her siblings and Azura.

"You are doing very well." Her best friend had set aside an hour for her one afternoon to train her specially, "Not many catch on to that tune so easily."

Seriea smiled brightly, "Well, you are always singing, Azura."

Laughing lightly, like a bell chimed, "I suppose I am."

The two sat there sharing songs as they did occasionally when they had free time where little to no one could hear them. Seriea asked Azura if she would invite Shigure sometime so they could practice as a family. The songstress always blushed when she considered her and her son family, but smiled and loved the idea. Their hour was up and Seriea was to train with Takumi until dinner, so she stood before offering a hand to the woman.

"I'll see you soon – I love our chats." Seriea waved as they parted and she sighed.

Looking at a ripple in the water, the princess took a deep breath before going to archery training with Takumi. She arrived only a minute late but was scolded like she took an hour to arrive. It was tiring being around him, honestly she only wanted him to trust her like a brother would. After so many sessions though as she caught up to him in skill quickly she wanted to surpass him so he would have to look at her. And after that she realized the feelings she was having were not something she should have for her brother.

She could easily hide them when focused on aiming the yumi she trained with but when he would tap her arm to adjust her stance she would have to focus harder. The princess knew it was easy to hide her feelings as he only hated her, but it still stung like salt to a wound. Seriea went to her training like normal getting the same reaction until in the middle, he spoke.

"You've improved further..."

Meeting his eyes she saw a faint smile before he shook it off and frowned like normal, "I just... want you to know I trust you... sister."

Surprised, her heart leapt, even if only as a sister, being noticed by him made her happy. Without thinking she had dropped her yumi and tackled him into a hug making him fall in surprise. He scolded her as if he was the older sibling when she removed herself before leaving immediately. The princess sighed but was happy at being recognized as family by everyone.

Until that evening.

"We do not share blood."

Seriea had been sitting down to a meal with all her siblings, a rare occurrence but one they made sure to attend. She dropped her chopsticks – not for the usual reason as she stared at her brother Ryoma. He had gathered them to tell them something of importance that had been weighing on him for years. Sakura had no idea while Hinoka refused the idea.

"E-Excuse me..."

Leaving her food, the princess immediately left leaving her 'siblings' to sit in silence. Takumi scolded his brother but asked how he knew so surely – getting his answer and an equal yelling at. The two sisters looked at each other confused as to what they should do but nodded as they also left. Although they tried finding her the woman was nowhere to be seen – not in her room or anywhere in the fort in the astral plane.

She had gone to the normal world near a town by Hosido's capital and sat in darkness. There was no noise besides the bugs common to that area in season. Her heart knew something wasn't right when she fell in love with Takumi but she had assumed it was the desire for familial love gone wrong. Sighing, she shook out her ponytail to let her hair relax and hide her face. Crying her tears she cursed the moon as she asked it who was her family.

"H-hey..."

Turning suddenly she saw Takumi – he was the only one who knew of this spot as he would leave to train. She quickly hid her face telling him to go back to his siblings. Letting out one of his classic sighs, he sat beside her telling her he would not go back without her. She knew something was not quite right when she chose Hoshido – but had assumed that like with her time in Nohr she merely had a different mother.

"Did you know?"

"I did." Takumi had no reason to hide anymore, "Due to a letter I received from... your mother."

"My mother?"

He looked at the moon before turning back to her, "She said only to read it when I fell in love with someone."

Seriea's heart sank like a rock, "You're in love?"

Laughing, the archer grinned at her, "Bet you can't guess who either."

Obviously her first thought was Oboro, but then again he had gotten closer to Azura as well – she would never be jealous of the two as they were her best friends. Saying these two names he shook his head telling her the third guess would be her last. She sighed, not having the faintest idea and giving up. He asked if she was sure on giving up, staring into her eyes making her blush at how close he had gotten.

"I-I don't have any idea..."

"Then let me tell you." Takumi hesitated but slowly put his lips to hers.

Her eyes opened wide, he was far from joking as he pulled away to tell her how he felt. Apparently as she kept proving herself and trying harder to be by his side he gradually fell in love with her. While she had done the same seeing him open up to her slowly. The woman didn't know how she could be any happier as a love she thought would wither and die blossomed between the two. Of course the word of them not being related was spread quickly before they announced their engagement - but even with opposition they were warmly congratulated.

Eventually, they set a wedding date, and with both of them being royalty it was to be a grand event in the Hoshidan castle. Seriea had been nervous for weeks as Oboro made her kimono for the wedding. She was unused to wearing them as she always had her Nohrian clothes in the castle and her go-to armor. Whilst being changed for the ceremony she hid the dragon stone under her clothes holding it tight.

"Are you ready sister?" Ryoma walked into the room.

Oboro scolded him, "Geez, she could have still been changing!" She then sighed before putting on the finishing touches. "All right, she's done now."

Azura held her hands briefly, "Go now, and find the happiness you have been seeking."

Opening the doors to the hall they were to be married in Ryoma took her to where Takumi was waiting. She had trouble meeting his eyes as her heart felt as if it would stop every time she did, but when they were across from each other she felt at ease. To her, the man she was giving her life to was sea of calm, one of the very things that gave her tranquility. With a smile on her face, she married the man she loved, and found her family once again.

This is just a short story I thought up while I was at work, very glad they didn't see me day-dreaming. Either way it's shorter than the first but some will be longer some will be shorter.
