Whats up, long time no see. Not sure if any of my followers are still alive or not but its been quite some time since I've done anything. But with the recently release of Fire Emblem Three houses I just HAD to get back into fanfiction. Especially with all the new waifus, and Bernadetta and Marianne are top tier waifus. This "Story" Is going to be another one of my usual fluff-filled series of oneshots with various girls (Mainly Bernadetta and Marianne). I was really upset by the lack of fanfiction between the girls and Byleth the professor, its like the lack of fanfics for Peri! :( So I've decided to make my own. Onward to glory!

She wasn't quite sure why, but she enjoyed spending time around him. Maybe it was his confidence, to stand in front of so many people and speak so modestly, and on the rare occasions he did make a mistake he quickly apologized and went on his way. Not fearing any backlash.

She desired to be like him. But her past had forced her to become the hermit she is now.

A knock on the door snapped her out of thoughts. "W-Who is it?" She nervously called out, sitting on her bed with her hands to her chest. "Its me, Byleth. I was wondering if you were going to spend all day in your room again." His voice had a slight tone of sarcasm, he of course knew the answer and was merely mocking her about it in a kind manner.

She smiled, the Professor would always come by and check on her during weekends. She was the first person he always talked to, and he was always on time. Never missing a moment to hear her voice.

"I uh...I think I'll stay in my room a bit longer! Sorry!" She cried out, ducking underneath her covers. She could hear him sigh softly from the other side of the door. "Very well then, make sure to come out and eat at least" He said before walking away. She screamed into her pillow.

Why was she like this!? She so desperately wanted to spend the whole day with him! But the fear of going outside, it was all to great. That trauma had been implanted into her, what her father did to her as a child will never leave her. And Byleth understood that, He knew her limits yet he also knew when to push her beyond those limits. Such as a professor should do.

She got out of bed and looked in the mirror, her hair a mess. A physical representation of her current mental state. She smoothed what she could before walking over to her desk and resuming the scarf she was knitting. It was going to be cold soon, and she had forgot to bring any winter clothes. Not like she had a chance to bring anything really.

Eventually her mind wandered back to Byleth and she sighed, setting down her needles and thread and resting her head against the desk. "I really wanna see him..." She muttered to herself.

He was so different from her. Confident, outgoing, good with people and with conversations. What was she? Nothing. Nothing but a burden to anyone who interacted with her. She prayed to the goddess daily to forgive her for everything shes ever done, and to bless those around her. Surely they deserve more then her.

It was at times like these where the loneliness and over bearing inferiority that she spent her free time talking to Dorte. She knew he cared about her and she cared about him. So many others had expressed their concern for her but shes made it her goal to not trouble them.

But that Professor was so persistent.

"Marianne, I thought I'd find you here" His voice caught her by surprise, and she jumped slightly with a small shriek. "Eep! P-Professor! H-Hello...I was just tending to Dorte..." She spoke softly, she did not wish to speak too loud and trouble others.

Byleth smiled, if ever slightly. "You always work so hard in the stables, thank you for that" Marianne shook her head "No...Its nothing really...I enjoy doing it..." She brought her hands together and held them close to her chest as she spoke. "Um...Did you need something, Professor?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.

"I bought you something" He reached into a pouch behind him and pulled out a gray feather that belonged to an owl. She enjoyed these for some reason. "Oh, thank you." She took it from him and held it close. A gift, for her? She was not worthy of such a thing.

She went to go say something but the bell rung, Byleth frowned quite noticeably. "Ah, seems I have to go now. I'll see you in class tomorrow" He said, before walking off. Marianne could only wave. He was so kind to her...

Bleh, this was alright. I can't do anything TOO fluffy yet, gotta set it up first. If you wanna send in request then please do so! I love taking request! I hope I'll be shooting these out at a acceptable rate for you guys. I work all day and usually get home late so I don't have a whole lot of time on the PC. Anyway, see you guys next chapter!
