AN: My luck is sucking so hard today. I typed this chapter last night and was going to put it up then but, the website glitched and erased all of my work. I was so pissed. So here I am right now attempting to rewrite it. As always I hope you enjoy this and if you do please leave a review.

"Wretched whelp! I should... No. Our soldiers have them outnumbered. The brats will be dead long before they can reach their comrades." She yelled.
Ricken's P.O.V.
After the battle Maribelle dismounted her horse and ran up to Lissa. "Oh Maribelle" Lissa sobbed. "Oh Lissa" Maribelle cried. I sat on the sand and took my hat off. Using magic took energy and I was tired. I felt like I was going to collapse. I felt my eyes starting to close but, I forced myself to stay awake. I tried so hard to stay awake but I felt my consciousness slipping. The last thing I saw was Chrom walking towards me with a look of concern.
Chrom's P.O.V.
Ricken was on the groud and he looked tired. I walked towards him and he fell on his side. I ran up to him and tried to wake him up. He wouldn't wake up. "Emmeryn! Please come quickly!" I yelled. I was seriously worried that he was hurt. She came running and then sighed out of relief. "He's okay. He just used to much magic and passed out." Emmeryn said calmly.
The battle had taken several hours and the sun was going to set in several more hours. "What do we do then." I asked. "All I can do is use my Recover staff and let him sleep for a few hours." "Okay then." I said. "Are you okay though Chrom. You seemed worried. It's like you... Oh. Now I get it." said Emmeryn with a mischievous grin. "What?" I asked her. She couldn't know... could she? "Oh nothing." she said getting her staff ready. A bright blue light enveloped Ricken's body and several seconds later it was gone. She lifted her staff off of Ricken and sighed a breath of relief. " He will probably sleep for several hours." "Milord?" Frederick's voice called out. "Yes?" I said back. "We need to start marching immediately if we are going to reach last night's campsite." Frederick said sternly. "Okay Shepherds. We are leaving in 15 minutes."
Neutral P.O.V.
Chrom was to carry Ricken on his back piggyback style to the camp because he had the mot endurance in the Shepherds. Chrom lifted Ricken up onto his back and put Ricken's arms around his neck. Lissa helped position Ricken so his legs were in Chrom's arms so Chrom could carry him easier. Soon after they left in a hurry to make it back to the campsite.
After several hours of walking, they finally reached the campsite. Everyone started to set up tents as sonn as they got there. there wasn't enough tents to give Maribelle and Ricken their own. Maribelle happily stayed with Lissa. Ricken was starting to wake up and he nearly fell off Chrom's back. "W-whats h-happening? Ricken said with his voice trembling. "We are at he campsite from last night. Would you be okay with sharing a tent with me? Chrom asked. "Um... are you sure? I forgot my tent the night before. Also, can you let me down now?" Ricken asked. He personally didn't want Ricken to get off of him. He felt so indescribably warm to Chrom. He never wanted to let go. Ricken felt the same way. Chrom let Ricken down on the floor and his legs were wobbling. He fell to the floor and Chrom reached his hand down to help Ricken up. "Will you be okay?" Chrom asked. "I'll be fine. Thank you." Ricken said as he grabbed Chrom's hand.
Ten minutes later Chrom was done setting up the tent. "I'm going for a walk." Ricken said. He was now wearing a white linen shirt and black cotton pants. "Can I go with you?" asked Chrom. "Sure." Ricken said. "Just give a minute to change out of my armor." Chrom said. "I'll just wait outside." A few minutes later Chrom walked out wearing a dark blue shirt and white linen pants. "Lets go. said Chrom. They walked into the woods and soon they started talking. After about 10 minutes of walking they encountered the same spring as yesterday night and they became silent. After several minutes Ricken said "Can I tell you something?". "Go ahead." Chrom responded. "Okay. umm.. I uh.. well I... I...
Chrom's P.O.V.
"I...I...I-" "What?" I asked. He is starting to make me worried. Was something wrong? "Can I just show you instead." Ricken asked. "Okay." I responded. Ricken slowly moved his face closer to mine. He then pressed his lips against mine. His lips felt so warm against mine. I was frozen in shock. I came back to reality when he pulled away. "I"m so sorry." Ricken said starting to panic. "Ricken." I said softly. I couldn't think of anything else to say. He turned around. I knew he was going to run away. I grabbed his arm and I heard him and gasp. "Wait." I said. "I'm sorry. Please let me go and I'll leave you." He said. I could hear it. He was starting to cry. I turned him around and pressed my lips against his. He kissed back and I felt his heart starting to beat faster. I could feel my heart starting to beat faster as well. This sensation was unlike anything I had ever felt. I never wanted to stop. He started to pull back but, I didn't want to. He pulled back and his warmth left my lips. "I love you Ricken." I told him pulling him into a hug. "I love you too." he said back. "Do you want to go back now." he asked. I wanted to stay with him forever. "Okay." I responded. We walked back to camp holding hands.
AN: I like Emmeryn's slightly mischievous personality in this story. She has been with Lissa to much lately.
