LUCINA'S POV
I was a bit afraid to get out of bed. How was I supposed to act around Thomas now? He threw a wrench into our casual-friendship relationship. Cautiously, I pulled on my tunic and strapped Falchion to my side. Then, I slowly opened the door and walked out. I proceeded down the stairs into the tavern below.
Thomas was already awake and dressed and sitting down for breakfast. Still wary, I sat down across from him, where a plate of eggs awaited me. "Morning, Blue." He said casually, not looking up from his food, which looked like it had sugar sprinkled on it.
"Good morning, Thomas." I said slowly, and started to cut my eggs. "Sleep well?" he asked, still not looking up. "Well enough, I guess." I said in a slightly offhand tone. Thomas looked up. "Nightmares?" he asked seriously. I nodded. Nightmares plagued the both of us. Grima, our loved ones dying, and the very world we came from sparked fear in us. Thomas looked at me strangely.
"You don't have to worry anymore." He said finally, "You're safe in this time. You have Chrom, you have Sumia and…" Thomas cleared his throat. "And you have me." I hope he didn't notice my obvious blushing. I decided to keep silent, I remember one time Joshua told me that he was happy he lived for thousands of years because 'if I mess up with a woman, she'll hate me for the rest of her life, Which I might fall asleep for. Then I can wake up, and try again!' That's kind of how I was feeling, except with a gender swap and the fact that I was not, in fact, going to live for thousands of years.
Thomas pushed his empty plate away. "I gotta add sugar-covered eggs to my recipe book." He said in an all-to-obvious attempt to change the subject. I decided to go along. "Please, remind me never to ask you how to make anything that isn't some kind of treat. It'll probably call for three and a half bags of sugar." We both laughed at that. Nervously.
"So, we should probably go back to that shop we saw yesterday and pick out some clothes for the wedding, huh?" said Thomas standing up with a new lollipop already in his mouth. "We probably should." I agreed, and we both walked out into the busy streets of Ylisstol.
Jack's Corner
My critic friend Ace pointed out that this pairing I have going on doesn't fit the ones on my profile. I told him I knew and then laughed rather evilly. Uh-huh folks, you all know what's coming. Anyway, the wedding will be next chapter! Well, there's gonna be a huge party chapter beforehand, but THEN the wedding. So, enjoy!
