Bunch of people asked for a Hilda chapter right away so here ya go!

"Good job everyone, take the rest of the day off" Byleth announced to the Golden deer class as they returned from a routing mission, they all cheered and went along to do their business.

Byleth went to walk to the classroom to finish up some paperwork before he was stopped by someone calling his name. He turned around to see Hilda staring up at him, a pout on her face.

"Professor! How many times am I'm gonna have to ask you to put me on the sidelines!?" She pouted, crossing her arms. "I almost got killed!"

"I saved you though." Byleth responded.

"But that's the thing! If you hadn't had put me in you wouldn't have had to save me!" Her eyes widened when she noticed a cut on his cheek.

"Look! You even got hurt because of me! Jeez, Professor...I've tried to tell you over and over..."

Byleth didn't seem bothered by his small wound. That same blank stare looking back at Hilda. "Professor, are you even listening to me?!" She asked.

He nodded to her. "I just don't think its that big of a deal..."

"Of course its a big deal, Professor! We can't have you getting hurt or dying on us...It would bring morale down...Even more so then if I died..."

"Then I'll count on you to watch my back" Byleth smirked slightly. Hilda sighed. Trying to argue with the Professor was impossible. The man was just too stubborn.

"Jeez Professor...Why are you always trying to look after me...And always expecting things of me...I've told you I don't like it when people do that." Hilda held her hands close to her chest, looking down solemnly.

"Because you're important to me Hilda."

Hilda blushed and glanced away, fiddling with her fingers nervously.

"Careful Professor...A girl could misunderstand that..."

Byleth tilted his head. "Misunderstand how? I mean what I say."

Hilda's cheeks grew a deeper shade of red. "R-Right..."

The bell rang and they both looked up at the sound of it.

"I'll see you later, Hilda." The Professor turned around and walked away, leaving Hilda a blushing mess.

"You're always so blunt, Professor..."

"Hilda! Take care of those armored units!"

"You got it, Professor!"

It was another routine routing mission. Nothing out of the ordinary.

She easily dispatched the armored unit with the hammer she was equipped with. Quite pleased with herself by her skilled, and quick elimination. She was too caught up with her little celebration that she didn't notice the mercenary rushing at her from behind.

Byleth saw just in time and cursed himself for his ignorance. He failed to notice the Mercenary when he told Hilda to attack the armored unit. He attempted to rewind time, but he had used up all his power earlier. He quickly rushed towards Hilda.

"Hilda! Look out!" Byleth called out.

Hilda turned towards the source of the voice and looked behind her just in time to see Byleth take a blow for her, falling to the ground bleeding.

The last thing Byleth saw before passing out was Hilda assaulting the mercenary.

When he came too he was in his bed. His chest wrapped tightly in a bandage. He heard a knock on the door before Hilda entered, her head hanging low and shutting the door behind her.

She looked up at smiled at him.

"Professor...I'm glad you're awake...Honestly you gave us all quite a shock..." She approached the side of his bed and stared at him as he sat up, staring at her.

Her smile quickly turned to a frown however.

"Your awfully stubborn, Professor...How many times am I gonna have to ask you to stop doing these kinds of things..."

Byleth continued to stare at her. His blank stare somehow softening.

"I can't let you get hurt. I said it before you are too important to me."

"But thats the thing, Professor!" Hilda furrowed her brows "You got hurt because of my mistake! If only I had met your expectations none of this would have happened..."

There was some silence between them before Hilda let out a short gasp of surprise as Byleth grabbed her hand.

"I don't care about you meeting my expectations. You've already surpassed them" He stared into her eyes. "All I care about is you and everyone else staying alive...Especially you..."

A blush crept onto Hilda's cheeks and she looked away, yet not refusing the grip Byleth had on her hands. "P-Professor..." This man knew how to make her chest flutter.

"I should be upset with you, but you did save my life...So I suppose the least I can do is reward you..." She looked back at him, her cheeks having grown a darker shade of red.

"I'm not interested in bragging about having gone into town with you..." Byleth responded.

Hilda responded by climbing on to his bed and straddling his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and staring back at him.

"I'm not gonna do something so simple as that...You've earned yourself an even greater reward~" She stuck out her tongue and winked at him.

"Isn't this against the academy rules?"

"Ah, who cares about those silly old rules~"

Kind of an abrupt end. But I couldn't think of a more clever way to end it. I hope this was alright, I haven't fully maxed out Hilda's support yet so I had to go watch a video on that. I've got plans to do a Hilda lemon. I'm sure that'll be quite steamy~

For now you can look forward to a Annette Lemon coming up next.

See ya soon!
