Here's some more Pit in FE!
This time around, it's a support with Azura.
(C support)
Azura was always calm, even in the face of danger. Many in the army have wished to be like her, stoic and stone cold on the battlefield. Azura knew this, and strived to keep up with it.
But there were times she wished she wasn't so repressive of her feelings.
Ever since Pit had sided with the Nohrians, she has wanted to confront him about that same decision. How could an angel of light side with the country that could very well be the exact opposite of what he stood for? She couldn't tell anyone else about this, of course, not even Corrin, she didn't want to seem disrespectful. But the question still stood tall, and she demands an answer.
Which brings her to this current moment.
Pit was the only on at the training field, practicing his archery, and Azura knew this was her golden opportunity.
"Pit, I didn't expect you to be here." She said as she approached.
Pit released an arrow from a steel bow he picked up before he addressed her.
"Even an angel needs to hone their skills, you know." Pit said.
"I see." Azura responded. "And I see you aren't using your divine weapon either."
"I can't always rely on it. At some point I'll need to use a normal weapon, so why not start now?" Pit said, knocking another arrow and releasing it from the bow.
"Quite perceptive of you." Azura said.
"Why are you here?" Pit said, turning to face Azura. "There's clearly something on your mind."
"You're right to assume such." Azura answered back. "I have a question for you, if you don't mind."
Pit placed the steel bow to the side. "Yeah, I've got time, what's on your mind?"
"Simply put, why have you sided with the Nohrians?" Azura asked.
Pit immediately let out an irritated sigh. "Something tells me this conversation won't end well."
"That depends on your answer." Azura calmly stated.
Pit once again sighed. "It's about Corrin, alright?"
Azura raised her brow. "I highly doubt you would trust someone based off of looks."
"I know that." Pit said, getting quite annoyed. "Look, I wish I could elaborate, but I really need to get some training in."
"When are you available, then?"
Pit resisted the urge to facepalm. "You don't let up, do you?" He said, looking straight at Azura. "Tomorrow, I'm free the whole day. I was planning on hitting the hot spring, but I'll set aside time for you."
Azura put a hand on her chin. "I'll be patient then, knowing I'll get my answer."
Thank heavens, Pit thought. "Meet me here after breakfast, okay?"
Azura nodded, and walked away from the training grounds.
Pit waited for her to be quite a distance from him before he let out a heartfelt sigh.
"That went better than expected, but not as good as I hoped." Pit said as he went to retrieve the steel bow.

Pit waited by the training field for Azura, going through his answer in his head. He didn't notice that said person had just arrived.
"Pit."
Said angel looked up to see who had said his name.
"Azura! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there." Pit said.
"You were thinking about something, no doubt." Azura calmly stated.
Pit grew a devilish grin. "I guess you can say I was lost in thought, all alone."
Azura stared hard at him for a few moments before letting out an irritated sigh.
"Not you too." She complained. "Everyone is always making that stupid pun."
"But there's so many applications for it." Pit said, still smiling.
"I know, and that's what makes it irritating." Azura huffed.
Pit let out a laugh. "Alright, I'll keep the jokes to a minimum."
Azura sighed. "It's better then nothing, at least."
"Now, are you ready for my answer?" Pit asked.
Azura nodded. "I've been anxious to hear what you have to say."
Pit breathed in heavily. "Throughout my many, many years of life. I've noticed a pattern that always leads to the world being changed forever." He began. "It's always some conflict that threatens the peace, then some man or woman shows up and gains a following. Next thing you know, that same person ends up saving the world or something along those lines."
"What does this have to do with Corrin?" Azura asked.
Pit's eyes narrowed. "I was just about to get to that, thank you."
"My apologies."
"Right. I was only going to give thanks for your assistance and bid you all farewell. But then, the details started to flow in. A war that threatens to kill many live? A woman who has amassed a huge following with promises of seeing as many lives through this war as possible? Do you see what I'm getting at?"
"Yes." Azura said. "But that implies that you know Corrin will succeed. if that's the case, why join?"
"It takes more then being chosen to win." Pit answered.
Azura wanted to ask to elaborate, but Pit began speaking as if he knew what her question was already.
"Fate would choose who to win or lose, but it won't guarantee the outcome." Pit began. "As an angel of light, I am obligated to ensure that whatever Fate chooses comes to fruition." Pit's expression softened. "Humanity tends to run free, carving their own path. But Fate needs to take charge every so often, if only to ensure humanities continued survival."
Azura stood their, taking in all of the information. Her expression didn't change, but her voice did.
"Thank you for answering my questions." Azura spoke softly. "I'll... need to think on this."
Azura left, leaving Pit to think as well.
She could've stayed for my full explanation, but I guess she is satisfied, Pit thought.

Pit was in an empty mess hall, enjoying some tea, when Azura approached him, seemingly in a hurry.
"Pit, can I speak with you?"
Pit looked up at her with a blank expression. "I have time, still have more questions?"
Azura shook her head. "No, I wanted to apologise for my behavior the other day."
Pit shrugged. "Hey, you just asked some questions, no biggie."
"Yes, but... There was an ulterior motive behind those questions." Azura responded. "I wanted to prove my suspicions, to weasel out of you the answers I wanted." She looked down in shame. "I thought you were a fraud, a fake, because I thought that no real angel would stand with the country that practically goes against everything you believe in."
Pit sat in silence, awkwardly sipping his tea, and thinking of a way to respond.
"But I was wrong." Azura muttered. "I was wrong to assume such a thing from you. You've proven to me something I'm sure everyone here already knows, but I was too stubborn to admit it."
"Azura, if I may." Pit said, getting Azura's attention. "I never really stood by Nohr, since, as you've said, they've done things that go against my ideals."
Pit waited for Azura to respond, but she remained silent.
"I do, however, stand with the friends I've made here, especially Corrin, she's the reason I'm here, after all." Pit took another sip of his tea. "But my original objective still stands. To ensure that Fate's will is realized, for the good of humanity." Pit finished off the rest of his tea. "Corrin had chosen Nohr, so there's no choice but for Nohr to win." Pit stood up from his seat, and looked directly into Azura's eye's. "After all, how else are we to get him to sit on that throne."
Azura's eye's widened in shock. "You... you knew?"
"I've known for a while, yes." Pit responded. "Fate had chosen him to be defeated, by Corrin's hands, no less." Pit sighed while Azura still looked at him in shock. "So to answer that question you asked me last time we spoke, the real reason why I joined was because beforehand, I knew he needed to be defeated, but I didn't know by who, until now."
Azura sighed, her breath quivering from being so close to tears. "And yet again, I'm proven wrong." She resisted the urge to fall on one knee, if only to keep composure. "Pit, I'm so, dearly sorry for wronging you in this way, you clearly know more about what's going on then I do."
Pit gave a reassuring smile. "It's alright, at least now you know."
Azura muttered something about being too nice, when she began to pace back and forth, holding back tears of guilt. Pit eventually got her to sit down, and offered her tea, which she accepted.
"This should help calm your nerves." Pit said, as he arrived with a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Was all she said as she accepted the cup of tea from him. She took a few sips before she noticeably calmed down.
"Feeling better?" Pit asked.
"Yes, thank you." Azura finally said. "I was just... overwhelmed with guilt."
"Water under the bridge, as it were." Pit said. "But perhaps we can fix this, start on the right foot this time."
"You're right." Azura said, a newfound smile on her face. "I hope we can become friends, despite what has just happened."
"Of course we can." Pit said, smiling as well. "Let's start with something you like, which was singing, if I recall?"

Azura tried hard to prevent this from happening, but it was only a matter of time before it did.
She had just fallen in love with an angel, and she has fallen hard.
When every she saw him, she would think of a life spent with him, full of love and care. In her sleep, she would dream of the very same vision.
But these thoughts, this dream of her and him together, always ends the same way.
He would outlive her, and look the exact same way as he does now, as he seemingly always looked, even when death would do them part.
This truth rattled her. While she could keep her composure outside, the moment she went into her room within the astral plain that housed Corrin's castle, she would break down in tears.
The days since that realization always played out the same way.
She would spend a decent amount of time with Pit, from him teaching her archery, and her teaching him some footwork, to most of the daily chores done with each other, only for night to come, and for her to find herself crying uncontrollably, muttering incoherently.
However, there was a knock on the door.
Azura instantly inhaled in an attempt to hid the fact that she was crying at all.
"Come in!" She called.
She soon realized that that was a mistake, as Pit was the one who opened the door and entered.
Oh gods, why him? She thought.
"Are you alright, Azura?" Pit said, worried. "I've heard you've been like this for days! What happened?"
Azura was hesitant to answer, she didn't even know what to say, especially since the first word that did exit her mouth ended up causing the floodgates to reopen.
Pit wrapped his arms around her for a comforting hug, until she eventually calmed down.
Azura finally found the ability to talk again.
"Pit... I-"
"I know." He cut her off. "And I want you to know that I feel the same."
"R-really?" Azura's eye's widened. "even while knowing that... that..."
"That it'll be short lived, I know." Pit only had a sad expression. "But know that I will always keep you within my most cherished memories, especially since you are the first."
Azura was in disbelief. "You mean... after all the years you've lived, you've never been in such a relationship with someone?"
"It's the truth." Pit said, nodding. "While I've had feelings for certain individuals, they ultimately went unrequited. Normally, I'd be ok with that." Pit now had a look of determination. "But not this time. I'd be a fool if I didn't take this chance." He was now inches away from Azura's face. "Know this, for as long as you live, I will ensure you live the happiest of lives ever lived."
"And I hope to be in your memories for ages to come, my love." Azura said, before the both of them found themselves in a very, passionate kiss.

(Ending)
After the war, Azura seemingly went missing, with Pit doing the same shortly after. Rumors say that deep within the forest's of Nohr rests a lake were disembodied yet beautiful voices could be heard, singing Azura's signature song.

This was very different, and obviously rushed. I just wanted it done so that I could get on to the next support, but perhaps I could've taken some more time on it.
But despite this, I hope you've enjoyed, or at the very least didn't cringe. Lovey-dovey moments aren't my strongest writing point.
Here's to hoping you'll enjoy the next support that I have planned.
