A/n- So yeah, this is a thing. I like the art style and gameplay of FNF and that's about all the explanation needed.

The Commission Files- File #a545 Friday Night Rutger'n

Characters: Rutger, Lilina, Roy. (Kind of. They are cosplayers with similar personalities.)

Based on: a commission by lueduar_ on Twitter

"Remember, we need to use our character names when we get there, don't want to repeat the run-in we had with that Valter cosplayer we had at the last convention." A young adult man who was dressed like Roy said to his friends in the backseat of the car as he was driving. "You guys are still okay with that right?"

"Whatever you say 'Roy', I'm just glad you were able to make it to come with us for the weekend." The girl dressed as Lilina teased him back.

"Yeah, I was thinking since the holidays are coming up you might be too busy." The third of the trio, dressed as Rutger, added. For now on we'll use their codenames as well so it's not confusing.

"Come on you two, you know I wouldn't miss a convention with my two best friends." Roy replied as he pulled his car into a parking spot. "Yeah I might be busy, but I'll always make time for you two. Besides, you guys know how much I enjoy dressing up like this, this is so much fun for me."

"Too bad your girlfriend couldn't join us, I think she would have enjoyed this as well." Lilina noted as the trio got out of the car.

"Didn't you make a Shanna cosplay for her recently too?" Rutger asked.

"I did, but she had some family stuff come up and she said it would be okay for me to go by myself. I think it's nice she trusts me so much." Roy explained. "You guys have your tickets to get in right?"

"Right here!" Lilina said taking two out of her pocket, making Roy give Rutger a look.

"This costume doesn't have any pockets except for the one I made specifically for my autograph book." Rutger answered, making Lilina give him a look. "I wanted to go for accuracy, he doesn't have any pockets in his artwork."

"Explains the belts on your pants I guess." Lilina said with a giggle. Rutger pouted and she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "But I think you look good anyways."

"You're lucky I'm in love with you." Rutger replied with a bit of a blush. Luckily no one in line to get in really saw any of that so it didn't cause a stir. Could you imagine seeing Rutger and Lilina in a loving relationship? They don't even have supports. Anyways, the trio stood in line for about ten minutes before finally getting into the venue.

"This place is really nice, pretty big as well, I don't think it'll be as crowded as the last convention we went to, don't you think?" Roy asked as they got into the atrium of the building.

"Yeah, though since it's getting colder us wearing these costumes probably will help us not get as cold." Lilina answered. "So, what do we want to do first?"

"Why don't we see if we can find some other Fire Emblem cosplayers and take some pictures with them. I'm sure we'll probably be some of the only Binding Blade reps here and people would want pictures with us." Rutger suggested. The other two agreed and soon enough they did find a sizeable group of other Fire Emblem fans and they started to mingle. It was true that they were the only Roy, Lilina, and Rutger there that they could see, but there was a Zephiel, Clarine, and even a Geese who had real purple hair. The Clarine was very happy to see a Rutger there to pose with, maybe a bit too happy.

"Soooo, whatcha doin' tonight? Got any plans?" She asked Rutger sweetly. Of course he was being civil like he should be at a convention, but it seemed like she was taking it a bit too well that he was being personable.

"I do, my friends and I are staying at a hotel nearby and we're gonna eat pizza, play some games, and catch up with each other since we haven't all been together in a while." He answered truthfully. "And we need to make sure our costumes are ready for when we come back tomorrow."

"How about tomorrow then, maybe we could go out to dinner? Or do you live near by, we could set something up later." The Clarine asked, not getting the tone of what Rutger was trying to tell her.

"Look, you seem like a nice girl, you share some of my interests as well, but I already have a girlfriend who I'm committed to, so I'm not interested." He tried to say in the most civil tone he could. The Clarine pouted and started to stomp her feet a bit. Seems she had more in common with her character than first shown.

"Oh yeah, well where is she then? If you two really are in love then she'd be here as well." The Clarine accused. Luckily Lilina had caught onto the conversation and walked up to back Rutger up.

"I am here, and it was my idea to come here in the first place, so you can buzz off sister." She told her with a bit of sass. The Clarine was about to respond when a Klein cosplayer came up beside her.

"There you are, I told you not to leave my sight, you know how you always end up getting yourself in trouble at these conventions." He told her before looking at Rutger and Lilina and seeing the looks on their faces. "Sorry if my sister bothered you, she's very stubborn and spoiled sometimes. Come on let's leave these people alone okay?" And with that he hurried them both away. Rutger and Lilina just stood there watching in silence until Roy came over and broke it with a comment.

"Well, that was awkward. But let's not have it ruin our day today." He told his friends. "Come on, let's go see what else this place has to offer."

"Yeah, let's do that." Lilina agreed.

"Knowing my luck tomorrow she'll show up in a Natasha costume to match my Joshua one." Rutger noted solemnly before his stomach started to growl. "I need a snack. I knew I should have sewn snack pockets into this thing like my father does with his costumes. You guys want anything, I'll catch up with you in a bit."

"I'll take a hotdog if you can find a stand, extra mustard like usual." Roy answered.

"Ooh, see if you can find a stand selling churros!" Lilina added excitedly.

"Alright, I'll se what I can do." So Rutger walked off towards where the food stands were, leaving Roy and Lilina alone together walking. As soon as they took a few steps away from where they were standing they could start to hear people mumbling about their costumes. They all were saying that they were really well made, which was a big compliment to Rutger and his mother since they were the two who made all of them. But soon enough the comments on the costumes changed into how cute of a couple they looked like. They were innocent enough, but Roy and Lilina just had to laugh a bit at how people were assuming things based on their costumes.

"I mean we could have been a couple, but things didn't go that way." Roy noted.

"Yeah, people are just weird like that sometimes." Lilina agreed. Then she spotted something interesting across the the hall. "Look, they have a replica stage from Friday Night Funkin' I wonder what they are using it for." So the two hurried up a bit and saw that they were holding impromptu rap battles on the stage. "Oh neat, I wonder if you have to sign up or anything."

"Nope, it's for whoever is brave enough to get up on stage and spit a few bars." A guy dressed up as the Boyfriend answered, it looked like this was his space that he set up. "But if you just want to watch that's cool too, just have fun with it you know?" The two nodded in agreement and joined the crowd, which oddly was filled with most of the Fire Emblem cosplayers they had run into earlier. They watched a battle or two before Lilina got a text on her phone.

Where U 2 at? It was Rutger.

We found a FNF styled rap battle stage, straight on through from where we were and to the right.

Alright, got the snacks u 2 requested, and a surprise for both of u as well.

Oooh, can't wait!

"Rutger says he'll be here with the snacks soon." Lilina told Roy.

"Great, maybe after we eat we can get on stage and try something out." He commented. A few minutes later Rutger showed up and gave his friends the snacks they ordered. He got some salted soft pretzels for himself and they found a place to sit and eat.

"I'm really impressed with the people on stage, they are actually doing pretty well." Rutger commented as they were almost done eating.

"Yeah, they are pretty brave to go up there as well." Lilina agreed. "So, what was this surprise you had for the both of us?"

"So, I found some people to get autographs from while I was getting the snacks. And you won't believe who it was and how ironic it was. Literally the three people who voice Rutger, Lilina, and Roy in Heroes!" Rutger answered.

"Nice! I hope they weren't too busy." Roy commented.

"They weren't surprisingly, but I didn't just have them sign my autograph book, I had them sign these." With that Rutger pulled out some folded up papers and handed one to Roy and another to Lilina. They opened them up to find some hand drawn artwork. Roy's was of Roy with the Binding Blade on fire looking cool, while Lilina's was a pose of her making a heart out of a fire tome with Roy and Rutger looking on in amazement.

"Bro, did you make these yourself? These look great!" Roy said with genuine joy in his voice.

"You're so sweet, I love it when you're romantic like this." Lilina said moving closer. Without thinking she moved her head in and gave Rutger a kiss. This had the unintended consequence of having all the Fire Emblem cosplayers going 'Ooooh' and making surprised sounds. Again, who is used to seeing Rutger and Lilina in romantic situations? Either way after the initial shock the crowd started to murmur a bit before starting to tease the trio.

"Wow, I didn't know Roy was getting cucked by Rutger!"

"You really gonna let him do that to your girl bro?!"

"I wonder if he's the guy who ships them online!" Then a chant started to grow through the crowd.

"Rap battle! RAP battle! RAP BATTLE!" Rutger side-eyed Roy and he shrugged at the situation.

"I wanted to go on the stage anyway, but if you don't want to." He said in a teasing voice to rile the crowd up a bit. Rutger just smirked at him, he was gonna have fun with this.

"So, you can't beat me in a sword fight so you think you can beat me in rap battle?" He started to play along. "My flows will mix you up so bad you'll wish I would have just crit you and ended everything there." The crowd 'Ooooh'ed again and even Lilina was having fun with this.

"Come on you two, you don't have to fight over me, we can all be friends." She said in her best Lilina impression.

"No, this is personal! Get on the stage if you're man enough Rutger!" Roy said holding his hand high for a mic to get tossed to him.

"You're on! You're gonna regret this, my words are as sharp as my sword." Rutger said mirroring the stance Roy had. The Boyfriend tossed them both a microphone and they caught them without even looking at their hands. They quickly moved to the waiting area behind the stage to get ready. Lilina followed as well, since she was playing along.

"Keep this in character you guys, you both have real dirt on each other and we don't need that coming out do we?" She warned them.

"Of course, this is all in fun." Roy answered.

"I'm still gonna win." Rutger teased.

"Yeah right!" Roy challenged. So they both stood up on the stage, Rutger on the left, Roy on the right, and Lilina on the speakers bopping her head and swinging her legs like the Girlfriend would. The beat started and Roy started the show off since he was the one that needed to 'defend' his honor.

So, you think you can steal my girl? With a face like that? Don't make me hurl!
I thought we were cool, thought we were tight. But now I see I can only trust you to start fights!
You may be stronger, faster, skill far apart, but I've got the one thing you'll never have, heart!

The crowd applauded Roy's first verse, seeing that he wasn't completely out of his element, but now their eyes were set on Rutger to see how he would respond.

Anything that I've taken was freely offered Roy, why pass up a man for such baby boy?
You wanna talk about fights, how I save your butt every day? If it were up to the fans then I'd be the one with the final say!
And you think I don't have heart, can you hear yourself speak? No wonder Lilina left you for me, every time you're near your knees get weak!

The crowd was really getting into it now, seeing that it was an entertaining and even battle between the two of them. Even Lilina was impressed by how they were rhyming so well off the cuff.

"Come on boys, show me how you really feel!" She teased to fake rile them up even more. Roy took a deep breath, he knew he probably could only come up with one more verse, so he had to make it a good one.

At least I have the maturity to speak how I feel, instead of brooding like edgelord in a deep red deel!
And if you wanna take my place then you're free to try, but one touch of my Binding Blade and I feel you'll be set alight!
Let's not forget, the final nail in this lyrical attack, you couldn't even save your parents you had to rely on luck to survive like Shannam the hack!

Cheers from the crowd came from that last line, Roy showing off his Thracia knowledge as well as cutting deep with a jab at Rutger's parents. Staying in character Rutger tilted his head a bit, covering his eyes with his long hair to look more intimidating for his final verse!

For a guy in Smash you sure don't have much game, with soft limbs like those I guess it's not hard, in bed or to explain.
Six women to support with, that's usually a romantic lock, but something tells me they'd get more action with a shapely rock!
Face it I do every thing you do but better! Fight, love, plan, rap, it's no wonder you couldn't bed her!

Rutger pointed to Lilina for his last time before dropping the mic and walking away. He was considering dropping even more explicit lines, but he did see some younger kids in the crowd so he didn't want to make it too lewd. Either way the crowd was in an uproar over the rap battle and the trio of friends really enjoyed themselves. They met back up behind the curtain with huge smiles on their faces.

"That was so fun, I didn't think we'd be able to pull something like that off!" Roy said hugging his two friends.

"You had some pretty good verses Roy, I think that was pretty even all things considered." Rutger noted.

"Nice Thracia reference too." Lilina added and Rutger nodded in approval. They were about to leave and go back into the crowd but then the Boyfriend cosplayer came back behind the curtain as well.

"Hey, the crowd voted for who they thought won, and were wondering if you two wanted to come out to hear it and maybe play along some more." He told the trio. Rutger and Roy looked at each other and then Lilina, letting her be the one to make the decision.

"As long as it doesn't go to your heads, fine." She said with a giggle. So they went back out on stage and you can decide for yourself who won the battle for Lilina's heart!
