Here is the next chapter for S-Rank Soleil!

This chapter we go from Lazy Dwyer to sweet, sweet Asugi.

Yes, I have decided to go with Asugi for this Chapter and do Ignatius next chapter. I will save Kana, Kiragi and Percy for last just because they are younger than Soleil.

Now Asugi is gonna be tricky since in A-Support Soleil said he wasn't her type. So, I will do my best here for the sweet Ninja.

Disclaimer: I don't own Soleil or any other Fire Emblem Fates characters.


Asugi was coming back from the nearby village and saw Soleil practicing in the arena. He decided to watch her until she was done since he wanted to talk to her. To Asugi it felt like forever since he had talked to Siegbert's future retainer.

Around the village all the people could talk about was Soleil, and it made him jealous. Not because she was taking attention away from him though. He was jealous by the way other guys looked at the pink-haired mercenary.

He wasn't sure when he had started to fall for her, or maybe he always had. Either way Asugi was determined to win her over. He would change her mind about him.

Soleil took one last swing at her practice dummy before she saw Asugi watching her. Panting Soleil smiled at him and waved.

"Hey Asugi!" Soleil called to him. "I'll be right over okay just gotta change!"

"Use the change room Soleil!" Asugi shouted as his crush started to undress in public again.

"Okay fine, be right out!" Soleil shouted back before leaving to change her clothes.

As Asugi waited for Soleil to come out, he tried to devise a way to win her over. Should he try to sweet talk her or try the direct approach and make her give him a chance.

"So, Asugi what brings you my way?" Soleil then asks him coming out of the arena in new clothes.

"Can't a friend come by just to say 'Hi'?" Asugi asked her with a chuckle. "You know Soleil I've been hearing interesting things about you from the girls around camp and in the nearby village."

"Really?! What do they say?" Soleil asks with excitement written all over her face. Just being herself had worked the girls loved her!

"They talk about how much fun they have when they go out with you of course." Asugi tells Soleil with a smile. "They say you're a delight."

"No way! You're not pulling my leg, are you?!" Soleil was practically over the moon. She was truly glad Asugi had come by to tell her this news.

"Nope. You know all the best places to go for sweets so they say." Asugi tells her enjoying their talk. It had been a while since they had just hung out. So, Asugi decided to enjoy this while it lasted.

"Well actually I have you to thank for that Asugi." Soleil giggled.

"It's not just girls either though Soleil." Asugi then frowns a bit. "I also hear how the guys are impressed with your skills in battle."

"Really? That's not as exciting. Go back to the girls please." Soleil tells him. Asugi looks slightly relieved she wasn't interested in what else the guys had said about her. Thinking about what else they said made him jealous.

"I'm serious Soleil you have a lot of people interested in you." Asugi told her trying not to sound jealous.

"You say that like it's a bad thing!" Soleil giggles before noticing Asugi wasn't smiling or laughing anymore. "Wait…is it…Asugi?"

Asugi simply blushed not wanting to admit he was jealous. But Soleil noticed anyway.

"Wait are you jealous of me stealing your thunder?" Soleil was positive he was jealous but wanted to hear it from his own lips.

"No!" Asugi exclaimed blushing even more so.

"Oh really? Your face says otherwise." Soleil teases him.

"I am not jealous!" Asugi's face now completely red, was this how his father felt when dealing with his mom?

"I don't get why you're jealous." Soleil teases the orange haired ninja. "I mean I stopped copying your style after all."

"I said I'm not jealous!" Asugi shouted in frustration before grumbling. "I just don't like other guys staring at you."

"What was that?" Soleil asked confused. Sounded like Asugi said he was jealous over the attention she was attracting from the guys. But that couldn't be right…. could it?

"Nothing! I said nothing." Asugi said blushing again.

This was going nowhere. If Soleil was going to get anything out of Asugi, she was going to have to tease him till he spilled his guts.

"Really? Sounded like you were jealously grumbling about something." Soleil began to tease him again with a grin.

"I told you I was not jealous!" Asugi's face turned red yet again. He knew she was trying to make him crack. But it wouldn't work. He had a plan and that plan did not involve Soleil humiliating him.

"Then why not tell me what you were grumbling about." Soleil asks him. "You know unless your jealous."

That teasing grin and laugh were too much for Asugi to bear or resist. Screw the plan he was going to make her stop teasing him. Asugi then took Soleil into a kiss to get her to stop laughing.

Soleil blushed and her eyes widened in surprise. Once her shock wore off though she kissed Asugi back and swore she saw stars as she did. Her mother had told her how her first kiss with her father had been. She had described it as the most wonderful feeling in the world…. Did this mean Asugi was the one?

Asugi pulled back and blushed deeply. She had kissed him back; did that mean she accepted his feelings?

"Asugi… so you were jealous…but not of me stealing your thunder." Soleil concluded still blushing and recovering from the kiss.

"No it wasn't" Asugi admitted. "I was jealous of the way all the guys were looking at you and talking about you. Truth is I love you Smiles."

"Smiles?" Soleil blushed at the nickname.

"I figured since I'm getting all mushy I should give you your own nickname. And Smiling is one of the things you do best." Asugi told her causing Soleil to blush more so. "So, what do you say Smiles? Will you go out with me?"

"Yes, Asugi I would love to." Soleil told him. He wasn't as cute as a girl but she always enjoyed Asugi's company. Plus, that kiss oh she could get used to those.

"Really? You mean it?" Asugi asked her now smiling.

"Of course, I always enjoy spending time with you. And if going out with you means more of those awesome kisses of yours then definitely." Soleil said with a blush. Now it was Asugi's turn to smirk.

"Oh really?" With a teasing smirk, Asugi trips Soleil before catching her in his arms. "Well then Smiles you can expect lots of my sweet kisses." Asugi then demonstrates by kissing her again.

Once this kiss ended Soleil was blushing all over again. Asugi sure was smooth. Not as smooth as her but he did have some moves. She could honestly say he had won her heart.

"Okay slick, how about you and I go into town then maybe you can show me a few more sweetshops." Soleil asked as she righted herself taking Asugi's hand in hers.

"It would be my honour Smiles." Asugi said before guiding the love of his life to the village.


"It's rude to spy brother." Kaze said appearing behind his twin whom he had caught spying on his nephew and Laslow's daughter.

"That boy should be focusing on training." Saizo said keeping an eye on his son. "He should not be wooing women. He will carry on the name Saizo."

"Brother. You are doing the same thing Father did." Kaze told him. "I know you were honored to carry on the family name but I also know how stressful it was. Plus, carrying on the name Saizo does not mean you cannot date. You and Kagero did after all."

"She has nothing to do with this brother." Saizo said thankful his mask covered his blushing face. Kaze just laughed at this.

"Oh but she does brother. For she would be telling you the same thing I am." Kaze then put his hand on Saizo's shoulder. "Let the boy live a little brother. Let him choose his path. You let him choose his name after all."

"Bah. Shouldn't you be with Midori." Saizo told his twin.

"All I'm saying brother is to be happy that he is happy." Kaze then uses his ninjutsu to disappear.

Once Saizo was certain his brother was gone he let himself smile. For he was happy his son had someone special. Though that did not mean he would let his son slack in his training. He would double his training regime for today when he got back from his date. But for now, Saizo was content with just watching from the shadows.


And that is how the Ninja scored with the mercenary. When I read, these supports I found them adorable. I was mad when they didn't get together even though it was so obvious that Asugi liked her.

So, I decided to make Asugi slightly more like Gaius than he already is. And Gaius was one of my favourite characters in Awakening. (And my first husband.) So, I had fun with this chapter.

Next will be Ignatius like I said at the top so stay tuned till then.
