OTP Meme 4: On a date.
"They're standing outside still?" Sully sighed as she gazed into her partner's eyes, enjoying how the lavender candles constantly made them flicker. They sat in the corner of a darkened restaurant, one they attended with some insistence from Chrom and Lissa, although Frederick himself seemed somewhat eager to see them finally go on a date. Obviously, Stahl and Sully were quite excited, both with the food and the fact that they would have uninterrupted time together… until some of their fellow Shepherds began to watch.
Stahl sighed and rubbed his head "Yep. Gods, can't they leave us be?" He took a bite of his food with a frown and pretended to ignore the group, although his eyes occasionally flicked between Sully and a very eager Lon'Qu and Nowi, whom were, at this moment, pressed up against the glass. Surprisingly enough, none of the couples noticed and were too enamored by their partners to even care. They all seemed so close, startling Sully at the thought that came next:
Were she and Stahl that close as well, or was this love only in her mind?
"What is it?" said man whispered, clearly distressed by the look in his beloved crimson eyes. She moved her gaze towards him with a slight frown.
"Look around us, Stahl," Sully circled her glass of water with a sigh of worry. Looking up, she saw Stahl's gaze moving around, although it occasionally moved to her with concern.
"I'm looking."
"See how they don't notice those two morons standing outside?" He chuckled at her irritation about the nature of the situation.
"Mmhmm. They are much too engrossed to each other to even care," Stahl sighed ruefully.
"That's what I'm worried about Stahl. About us," she frowned as he tilted his head in confusion "They are all lovey dovey with each other and don't care about the hawks outside, while we're as twitchy as Ricken on a sugar high at a meeting."
Stahl wiped the food from his mouth as his eyebrows furrowed in thought. He rubbed his hands together and placed them on the table next to Sully's, although the look in his eyes said he wanted to, at that very moment, kiss her senseless. "Well, they have the bliss of not having to be aware."
"Huh?"
"In battle, we always have to be aware, and it's no surprise that action carries off the battlefield. It's not us, Sully, it's our instincts…" he finished with a satisfied hum and grasped both of her hands with his own set, causing her to blush at his sudden forwardness "Make no mistake Sully; I love you more than any of these idiots in this restaurant could love their own significant other."
Sully tilted her head and smiled at the compliment and at the fact that a weight was lifted from her shoulders. "Thank you, Stahl… I… I love you," the last words were whispered from embarrassment, but the smile that beamed from the man in front of her showed that he understood every word.
"Now come one, let's give them the show they want," at that, he leaned forward and pecked her forehead before returning to his seated position. She brushed her leg against his accidentally, although he clearly saw it otherwise and returned the action. Their eyes twitched when they heard a "d'aww" coming from outside.
"When we get to camp, first thing I'm doing is punching those morons in the face."
A/N: Lon'Qu X Nowi… if there wasn't a Chereche, I'd ship it… but the temptation to explain Gerome's nature was too great.
Maribelle is still a fangirl…
