Unknown Attraction
Poofy. Hector/...?, Hector rambling. Insinuate what ye will...

Hector doesn't understand what she sees in him.
He is - as Lyn keeps so annoyingly pointing out - a great, uncultured brute. He always retorts to that statement by calling Lyn an uncivilized, barbarian wench. The ensuing fights are always legendary and not necessarily the point of his current thoughts. He's fantasized about someday overpowering the proud foreigner and owning her until she admits his greatness. It's a passing fancy however, and one that is way too dangerous to contemplate putting into practice.
Lyn would never submit to something like that, and there are too many others who would kill him if he attempted it. Matthew and Oswin would never be able to hold them all off. So that must remain a fantasy safely tucked away in his mind, along with his plans to murder Eliwood's male heirs...
But this isn't about Lyndis; it's about her- because she's the one who just snuck into his tent again, despite the entire camp sleeping around them.
He wonders why she finds him so fascinating. She's never said and he's never asked. In the rare moments that he contemplates their relationship, he thinks that she probably should have picked Eliwood. His friend is the epitome of the lordlings of Lycia, all grace, comportment and chivalry. In fact, had anyone asked him months ago to bet on who would be wooing her now, he would have laid good money on his friend. Fortunately for Hector, Eliwood seems to be keeping other company these days...
He's jolted out of his musings by the rustling of discarded clothing and then she's in his arms. Neither speaks aloud; their lips meet and suddenly their bodies are communicating all of the overwhelming passion that they hide for each other during the daylight hours. Words are unnecessary here.
They speak together for hours.
It's still dark when she finally leaves him. She always ensures that it is so, protecting his reputation from all but his own retainers. There is always a final kiss before her body silhouettes against the doorway of the tent, one last gift to tide him over until the next night.
He always wonders what it would be like to find her still by his side in the morning. When this war with Nergal comes to a close, he thinks that he'll ask her to stay with him.
She might refuse, of course. She's been on the road for so long with her brother that it might be second nature for her to be always traveling on. But perhaps she can make an exception for one loud and brash lordling.
And maybe then he'll be able to find out just what it is that Ninian thinks about him.

AN: Hector/Ninian. Plausible? Let me know or write it yourself.
[Hector is paired with Florina, who seems to be more of a shy/quiet type... I figured, why not Ninian? Okay, other than the fact that she's totally hung up on Eliwood. But I'll probably drabble that pairing later on. I already have a title for it too - 'Fatal Attraction'.]
Anyway, expect to see some odd/off-the-wall pairings. If I don't think that something could logically work out, I won't write it, but if there's a possibility... Just be prepared for odd ideas every once in a while.
