Disclaimer: If you're still asking, the only things I own are jack and squat. And jack left town. Fire Emblem and the rest of the games are owned completely by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, and that's all everyone needs to know. Since I got bored out of my mind for some reason, here's a nice little Dimitri/Mercedes fluff-shot because let's be honest, this couple needs more love in the fandom. LOL
Disclaimer: Oh yeah, this also takes place post-timeskip with some people being mention as the ones recruited in the Azure Moon path. Just figured I'd put that out there. Anyway, on with the show!
"My goodness, I'm beat…" Said a weary exhausted Dimitri, who at this point, stepped out of the training grounds inside Garreg Mach Monastery.
He had already finished doing his usual sparring section with his good childhood friend, Ingrid, who wanted to get in a little extra training done for today. Needless to say, that nonstop session of training made it enough for Dimitri's stomach to rumble immediately, showing signs of hunger inside him. It was clear that all of his training made him hungry at that point.
"Ugh, I could use a bite to eat though…" The leader of the Blue Lions said to himself, all before heading towards the dining hall.
It really didn't take him long to order some food from the hall itself. And knowing that he suddenly developed a sweet-tooth itself, Dimitri felt right to order one of his favorite foods just for today, which was the sweet bun trio with some blessed jelly on the side to dip the sweetened dough in.
"Ah, there we go." Dimitri said eyeing his good for a bit, "Now where should I sit for today?"
He started to scout around the entire portion of the dining hall, looking for that perfect spot to sit down and enjoy his meal. Yet so far, the place looked a little crowded as usual, especially when Dimitri got a good look at multiple scenes running through his mind. He had seen Sylvain getting the face smacked right out of him due to hitting on a female commoner, he'd seen Linhardt fallen asleep after eating his lunch, caught a glimpse of Lorenz sharing one of his peaceful conversations with Marianne, seeing a catchful of Dorothea making eyes at Byleth far away from the table she was sitting at, and to the surprise of absolutely nobody, watching Raphael stuff his face with hundred pounds of beast meat.
As much as Dimitri himself liked to sit next to these kinds of people, his eyes had drifted far away to see a vacant seat standing next to a certain female short-haired healer from the Blue Lions, who right now was scarfing down her glass filled with delicious peach sorbet. She wasn't just any healer though as that female turned out to be Dimitri's kind and thoughtful teammate, Mercedes Von Martritz, who ironically saw Dimitri approach her head-on.
"Any of those seats taken?" asked Dimitri.
"Nope, go right ahead." Mercedes nodded sweetly before saying, "I was gonna have Annie join me, but she's kinda busy training with Ashe for the time being."
"Yeah, can't believe they've been getting close for quite some time." Dimitri nodded back.
"If I didn't know any better, I think they're perfect for each other." Mercedes said with such glee in her voice, "I bet Gilbert would think so himself."
"I would agree with you on that." Dimitri replied agreeing with the healer himself. He then started to look directly into her lips and said, "Um, Mercedes?"
"I mean, you couldn't help but see Hilda 'awwww' at the sight of them when she saw them fall asleep on the couch together." Mercedes said ignoring the future Savior King herself, "She thought it was the cutest thing she ever seen."
"Mercedes…" Dimitri said yet again, trying to get her attention.
"But then again, that was unlike the time she saw Marianne fell asleep on Lorenz's shoulder right under the tree." The healer replied, once again ignoring Dimitri with her constant gossip, "Hilda gushed so tightly she nearly came this close to a nosebleed."
"Um, Mercedes?"
"Oh my goodness, what if Ashe and Annette get married?" Mercedes replied gushing through her cheeks while once again ignoring Dimitri's response, "I bet that would be so sweet. Of course, we'd have to get a big wedding cake, a wedding band, catering, flowers, maybe even a nice little wedding carriage! Best of all, what if they have kids? Oh, that would be so adorable to see Mr. and Mrs. Dominic-Ubert have their little ones come over to visit their sweet Aunt Mercie so they could bake, spend time together, frolic around in that fresh open air and-"
"AHEM!"
Mercedes found herself spooked as ever, nearly jumping out of her chair when she heard Dimitri clear his throat in the most loud, violent way ever. Believe it or not, that managed to finally get her attention.
"Dimitri, is your throat looking okay?" The healer said in concern.
"No, my throat's looking fine…" Dimitri said in a calm mood before pointing to her face and said, "I'm trying to say that you got a bit of sorbet on your lips."
"Huh, I do?" Mercedes replied with a gasp, all before finally noticing the little peach smidge across the right side of her lower lip. "Well, I didn't quite notice that. I should wipe that off."
Before Mercedes could reach for her napkin though, Dimitri managed to stop her right in her tracks as he said, "No no no, let me handle it."
It wouldn't be long before Dimitri reached his hand out to her lip, therefore wiping the small peach smidge right off of her. He attempted to let go of her only to realize something strange coming on from that hand of his.
Dimitri was immediately taken aback of how soft and cushiony Mercedes's face felt around a good portion of the palm of his hand. It was so nice and yet so smooth that he didn't want to let go of her. That of course, made Mercedes feel puzzled as ever at what Dimitri was doing.
"Um, Dimitri…?" She asked him a bit uncomfortably.
That uncomfortable feeling soon went away though as Dimitri started to caress her face very smoothly, leaving Mercedes to blush very madly and smile in response to how good and sweet Dimitri's hand felt all around her face. So warm, so nice and so heavenly that it immediately gave Mercedes a bit of butterflies forming inside her stomach.
"Mmmm, that feels so nice, Dimitri…" Said the healer with an ounce of happiness beaming her face.
Dimitri exchanged a smile of his own replying to Mercedes, "It should. I'm glad I had to clean up that little mess for you."
"Ugh, could you two not act so lovey-dovey all around me? I mean, this is where I eat!"
Suddenly, both Dimitri and Mercedes broke out of their gaze to turn to the right and see Felix sitting right beside them, feeling disgusted of the fluffy scene that he saw occur before him.
"Oh, Felix, I didn't realize you were sitting right there." Mercedes said a bit embarrassingly.
"Well, not anymore. I'm moving somewhere else so I can eat in peace without having to throw up at the sight of you two." Felix groaned back at Mercedes as he got out of the table and moved to another part of the dining hall.
The two immediately saw Felix sit right beside Bernadetta, Annette and Lysithea, knowing that he would rather sit with people he would at least tolerate with in a daily basis instead of two lovebirds acting all mushy with each other despite the fact that the only thing Dimitri did was wipe a bit of Peach Sorbet off of Mercedes's lips.
"Hey Dimitri, did you do that just to make Felix all angry at us?" Mercedes asked Dimitri in a teasing tone.
It didn't take too long for Dimitri to nod out and say, "You do have to admit it's kinda funny that way."
"Yeah, I guess you're right…" Mercie giggled, all while retaining that blush around her cheeks.
She knew that Dimitri always knew how to clean the finest of messes. And the mess he had to deal with involving Mercedes felt much more sweeter in his mind.
What can I say? It's very funny to see Felix agitated like this. I bet he can't stand sweet innocent fluff like this. I swear, Romance is like my strongest genre out of all the fanfics I written in my short time thus far.
BTW, I kinda got the inspiration for this one-shot after seeing some fanart of a cute anime girl eating a hamburger and there's a little bit of mess going on around her lips. The guy wipes off the mess coming off her lips only to caress her face, just to make it look cute. I've seen it on Facebook though, so that's why it led me to write this cute little one-shot in return.
So if you totally want to see more Dimicedes fluff coming from me, just say the magic word and I'll get right on it pronto. In the meantime, don't forget to read, review and leave some feedback while you're at it. I really appreciate it so much.
Until then, keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars, my fellow Blue Lions. ;)
