Vows to You
By: Bren-chan

OOC: … I smack this. .o –does so-

… Holy Crapola. Oo I didn't know that there was some regulation where you cant answer the reviews you got in the beginning. Bleh, I don't want this thing removed like my other fic. -.- I can understand why /that/ one got removed because it was in script form.

But really…these rules are getting really ridiculous now. XD So yeah, if you reviewed… and you wanna see what replied, it'll be at the end of each chapter from now on.

-shrugs- It seems practical though. Someone might be asking for some sort of spoiler, so I guess I'll respect that purpose. But if there's any other, it better be a damn good one. .o

x x x x x

There really isn't a lot to be added here, except the fact that I'm still not sure about the whole span of this fic. But I'll try to continue it as much as I can without… dying. :D

Warnings: Shounen-ai, Shoujo-ai, het, mild swearing, and all that lovely shit.

Chapter 4: Lecherous Thoughts
Hector's POV

x x x x x x x

"So, let me get this straight; you're trying to find Raven?"

"Yes…"

"And you've been doing it for the past… 20 minutes, right?"

"Uh-huh…"

"But you haven't found him yet, so you finally gave up and you're now here alone…"

"You seem to have it all ri-"

"Alone and lost, you're completely vulnerable and helpless, and so you're here; weeping with sadness on the inside as the inner torments of your mind capsize over your thoughts and drowning you in your sorrow…"

"…"

"WHICH, by the way, is why we found you here spacing out."

"Actually, you have the last two comments wrong. I was just pondering about how all that cheese in those little croissants Lowen makes doesn't burn. I mean, he /does/ seem to leave it in there or an awfully long time…"

"… Lucius?"

"Yes Serra?"

"Shut up for a moment, and let me dream that I'm actually smart."

"Alright…"

I figured it was wise just to keep out of a conversation whenever Serra tries to be logical. Because really, Serra and logical was practically an oxymoron; it's only fate.

"Hector! Are you practicing to be a mime?" But being as tall as I was, I don't think I would have been invisible for too long…

"No Serra, I'm not trying to be a mime…"

"That's good, because mimes aren't good at sex!" I heard Lucius give a slight gasp and I turned to him, catching his appalled expression.

"What in St. Elimine's dead body are you talking about?!" I literally had to scream out, causing both of the smaller figures beside me to jump in surprise, the young teen sticking her tongue out.

"Well, it's true! I read it in this book-"

"Oh god, not another book!"

"-And this guy said 'Well, at least I don't give blowjobs like a mime!' and then this other guy said 'What the hell?! That makes no sense!' and then the former guy replied by saying 'It /does/ if you ever got one from- RAVEN!"

"… You mean, Raven gives blowjobs like a mime?" At this moment, I was surprised by two things. One, I was actually listening to what Serra said. And two, her sudden reference with the stoic mercenary.

"I do… what?" … Ah, well that crosses out the 2nd thing I was surprised by. Quickly turning around, my cobalt eyes met that of a rather confused crimson, yet it still showed signs of, surprise surprise, anger.

"Lucius." His voice drawled out in his own infamous monotone voice towards the blond monk.

"Um, yes, Raven?" The latter replied a little sheepishly, my sight catching the sudden fidgeting in his figure. Hmm, and all this time I thought Lucius was actually immune to Raven's death glare.

"What were you talking-"

"Bad Raven! Bad! You left Lucius alone to drown in his sadness!" I, quite simply, smacked my forehead at Serra's sudden outburst.

"Serra…"

"No, Hector! Raven left Lucy all alone and Lucy was trying really hard to find him! That's rude beyond all reason!" I felt it suddenly grow warm on my left, indicating the monk's sudden blush.

"Oh… oh it wasn't a problem, Serra. Raven was just probably busy with something. That's all, no harm done…"

"What's it to you anyway, cleric?" The nearly redhead hissed out through clenched teeth.

Hmm… I think it's best if I separated the two now.

"Oh, what's it to me? What's it to /me/?! I'll tell you! I-"

"Oh look! What's that I hear? Is someone calling us? Come on Serra, let's go!" Serra's gawk was practically priceless at the moment, before she, quite expertly, replaced it with pure anger.

"BUT HECTOR-!"

"Now now, I think we should leave them alone…" And with that, I simply picked the girl up and slung her over my shoulders, my grin seemingly endless as I felt her kicks and heard her screams in anguish.

"I'll see you in the morrow, Lucius."

"A-Alright Lord Hector…"

"…" Raven's usual reply was as I casually made my way away from them, wincing a bit when Serra's arm decked over my temple.

"Serra, quit it!"

"PUT ME DOWN!"

"Goddamnit, cleric girl! You'll wake up the whole damn boat with your shrieking!"

"I'LL STOP IF YOU PUT ME DOWN!"

"NO!"

"YES!" I was starting to regret my previous action when I felt my headache returning back, intensifying at the previously abused area.

"PUTMEDOWNPUTMEDOWNPUTME-"

"Hark! What beautiful voice calls out so sweetly in thy ears?"

…

Serra Screaming Beautiful Voice?!

Sain's comments were ridiculous enough, but that's just plain blasphemy in all subjects!

But at least it got the girl to stop screaming, only to look at the Caelin knight confusingly.

"Me? Beautiful voice?" You see, even Serra sees her own oral fault!

"Why yes, dearest Serra! Your voice, the melody of it, can only come from an angel from above. Surely you are the savior to my aching heart, lovely dearest Serra!" I smacked my forehead again.

"Savior… right…"

"Ah, Lord Hector! How are you this fine evening?"

"Alright, I suppose…"

"Well, if you mind if I intrude on your 'lordly affairs', why do you have Lady Serra in such a position?" The brunet asked curiously, pointing at Serra who merely waved back.

"Serra was just being an idiot, that's all…"

"Oh, so you're going to punish her for committing adultery?"

"WHAT?!" Our voices were practically shed in unison, and we immediately retched from each other's forms and scooted away.

I could simply say that with the glares we were giving the knight, could even bring Raven to his knees.

"Did I ruin the mood between you two? Why, I'm so sorry! Well, I'll leave you two alone so you can quickly make your way to your bedroom-"

"SAIN!" … Thank you, St. Elimine.

"Yes Kent?" Sain asked the incoming redhead, a look of innocence hinted in those amber eyes.

"What in St. Elimine's name do you think you're doing?!"

"Why, I was caught on by Lady Serra's lovely voice, but I seem to be intruding on Lord Hector's punishments for the girl for swooning at my words! But Lord Hector, I beg of you, do not harm the gentle features of this lovely creature's body! Why, you may punish /me/ instead!"

…

"Kent…" I drawled out.

"Yes, Lord Hector?"

"Um… I'm giving you… full permission… to do whatever punishment you wish on Sain here." I coughed, a little bit disturbed by the brunet's sudden request. I noticed Kent sigh before he took a good grip on the green knight's collar and dragged him off.

"Come on, you lecherous idiot…" Sain quickly formed a 'dashing' smile at Serra's direction and waved his goodbyes.

"I shall see you in the morn, Lady Serra!" The aforementioned girl only smiled back and waved.

"Alright Sain! Bye!"

"… It's time like these I'm glad I can piss standing up." Serra continued smiling and waving.

"Shut up, Hector." Her voice wavered dangerously, causing myself to shrug. Really, who would want to be pelted with corny pick up lines by Sain?

I suddenly yawned.

"My Hector, you seem pretty tired." I heard her say mockingly. I just shrugged again.

"You weren't the one who had to 'swab the decks'. I swear, pirates have no respect for the higher class…"

"Well, Lord Eliwood could be asleep by now. Maybe it's safe for you to go now."

"You think so?" I heard myself ask.

"I said 'maybe'. It depends at how late he usually goes to sleep." My eyes blinked as I suddenly heard her yawn and only grinned at her direction, catching blue orbs that threatened 'You say something, and I'll make sure you cant piss standing up anymore…'

"Well, Cmon you Brigand. I think it's finally time for us go to go sleep." I only nodded at her judgment and followed her to down the stairs, stopping at the wall where we made our parting goodbyes.

"And remember Hector…" She started, catching my attention as I began to walk off.

"Remember… remember what?" Serra smiled and drew her thumbs up.

"Go Get'm Tiger!" And with that, she was gone.

…

God, I hate girls.

x x x x x x

Like? Hate? Ah, I'm so sorry this is short, but I didn't think it'd be right to make this chapter half-humor, half-angst. It'd like… totally ruin the mood. :/

But yes, next chapter shall be long, and full of yummy angst. u.u;

Also, this chapter was the last 'filler' chapter for a while. I mean, I had to get back to the plot /some time/. XD

Ah… reviews. –points down- I wonder if I should edit my previous chapters to switch the location of the reviews…

Reviews:

Koriku: Okay, that's 1 vote for the rest of the Fire Emblem game. XD

… And I'm sucker when it comes to large age difference couplings. X.x Call it… one of those weird fetishes you have no idea how you got in the first place. :D And yes, last chapter was completely disasterous. XD But this one will actually have some plot going, so nyeh.

And about the random Eliwood/Ninian snipping… I don't want her to be like… the villain everyone hates, I want people to sort of see her point of view at things, instead of just acting like a selfish bitch like the antagonist is usually portrayed in most areas.

I want you people to HURT whenever something bad happens to either Hector OR Ninian. D

… -tries that-

:D!

Thankyou! n.n

DeathsRain: -smacks Eliwood with a trout- He's such… a pansy! XD But everybody loves Lord Pansywood! :o –hugs his nonexistantness-

In my original plan, I was going to end the chapter with Hector's POV, but I needed something better than that so Nini's POV was placed there with Eliwood, for… more pages. :D; I have to admit, I was in bit of a rush with her's so I could post it sooner, but I'm pretty sure there aren't A LOT of errors. X.x Hopefully…

-Pats Ninian- Evil psycho. :D

Update update. u.u;

Anima Sage: Kurai: Aw… thanks. n.n But the Canas/Nils thing at the end was just merely a joke. XD And most people who like yaoi tend to care more of the good looking guys, but I really wouldn't give a damn if it was Nergal/Nils. I'm usually more interested in the story and how 2 people (even the most unlikely people) get together. I'm a plot freak.

And I can't change the fact that you hate Serra, but that doesn't mean you'll see less of her. –points out-

Amethyst Bubble: Yes, Serra is very kickass. And I DID have much fun writing whatever dialogue she says. XD She's very versatile. :o And yes, people must have feelings for Ninian too. Because she really is a nice girl. But that's what she really only is in my opinion. Ah, no harm, I love the girl a lot. XD

Which is why I really love H/E, because well… how more deep can you get in a relationship there? XD They've known each other all their lives, and really trust each other. The support conversations are something that 'supports' that too. :D

Aw, and I'm glad you like this fic a lot! But I'm also looking forward to your fics as well. :D

DragonsRain: Hello, dear cousin. :o Pff, and I do not concur with your statement. XD I wrote like… 5 of the pages within one day, which enhances it's crappiness.

Aw, and I feel really sorry for Guy. XD I just hope I wasn't being OOC with him, because he DID complain about the movement of the ship making him sort of sick in the beginning of… I think it's Chapter 17? Yeah…

And… I prod my summary. XD That sucks too.

midnightwanderer22254: Oh, I really appreciate you saying that my fic was good. And I was recommended?? O.o Yay! :D

RianneHime: Oh, don't feel bad. XD I tend to forget writing reviews to people as well. –smacks self-
Oh, and it's okay if you're not much of H/E fan! Everyone has their own favorites, so I'm not blaming you. n.n

Addicted? O.o My fic sucks so much, that addicts people from it's stupidity? :D –smacked-

Bleh, and I have yet to beat Fire Emblem yet. x.x I'm sort of, yet not sort of, stuck on Chapter: Light. XD Because, either someone gets a full inventory and I have to give throw away one of their weapons. (Damnit, those were expensive too. x.x ) So I usually end up restarting the chapter because of that.

And the first time I forgot to bring a restore staff and my Heath and Sain (20/20 baby! :D ) went on a massacring spree and killed off my Canas, Erk, Athos, and Lyn. XD

But yeah, whenever I feel in the mood, I'll finish that.

(Edit: Too lazy to erase the stuff before this, but after I read your review I went on and beat Fire Emblem. And I completely agree: Ninian kicked ass. X.x)

And I really do like Ninian. XD She just… I dunno, lacks a little in character development, so I had a little bit of a hard time typing her stuff.

And yes, lemons shall be abroad quite soon. :D

Oh, one more note. I adore your Matthew/Guy fics! hugs them Please update them soon, but don't rush yourself too much. XD

Blitz: Yup yup! You were right, it WAS Ninian. And I have to agree with you on the theory that Ninian must be a two-face. Because it's usually true with all people who act like that, so why should she be any different? XD (Meaning, the seemingly really nice girls… :o )

Most of the quotes came from me speed typing, and I also got a lot of inspiration from my friend who's a red head (Red heads are the perfect species. ;.; ) for these things, so I'm really happy that you find them very funny. n.n

… No, no Canas/Nils… but I could change my mind later on. :D;

Other people: .o wave pitchforks threateningly

O.o;

And yes, my cousin enjoyed this very much, but he's patiently waiting for some more pairing development on one of his favorite het pairings. XD My cousin is probably the ONLY reason why I'm not having Canas/Erk as one of the pairings. –shrugs- I just cant break his heart like that. XD

And yes, lemons shall come soon, but it's not in this chapter. X.x

HellFenix: Heh, you'll find out soon. n.n And thankyou for thinking that this is a great fic, a lot of people seem to say that. :D;;

yaargh, we be gay pirates: … First off, I love your sn. :D

D'aw, I'd love to marry you, but I'm already keeping that with someone else. XD;; Aw, and don't glare at Nini. She means well, she really does. n.n
