Tales Of Fódlan - Fire Emblem Three Houses One Shots & Scenarios (Completed)

The Adventures Of A Recluse (Bernadetta)

Author's note: Sup! Long time no see! I apologize for the lateness... I've had writer's block for this fanfic for so long... It wasn't until just this morning, in the middle of class, sleepy af, that I was able to get some idea for a new scenario, starring everyone's favorite Black Eagle! Just so you know though: The beginning starts as a reference to Bernadetta & Ingrid's C support, then there's a minor reference to Felix & Bernie's C support, and last but not least: A reference to Caspar & Bernie's C support. So if you haven't seen those supports, I suggest you do so to enjoy it even more, if not, well... I can't stop you. Without further ado, though: Let's begin!

"WAAAAAAAAHHHHH LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONE!!!!!!"

A loud scream came from one of the dorm rooms after the was the sound of someone knocking a door down. Footsteps were heard right after, sounding as though someone was running away. What was the commotion, you ask? Well...

It was Bernadetta again. The class were gonna have the students ride on wyverns to help the knights guard Garreg Mach and also to gain experience. Bernadetta doesn't like any outdoors experience, and much less riding a wyvern, something she's never done before. So she locked herself in her dorm room again... But Ingrid has a knack for being stubborn, and knocking down doors apparently.

"Hey, Bernadetta! Don't run away! The stables for the wyverns aren't that way!"

Ingrid yelled, trying to keep up with her, but alas, Bernadetta has earned the record of fastest student in Garreg Mach Monastery. No longer able to return to the comfort of her dorm room, she wanders around, looking for a good hiding spot until her dorm door was fixed, at the very least. She decides that some bushes near the garden will do for now.

"Ugh, the bushes aren't organized again! Man, the plants here grow a lot more quickly, don't they..."

Oh. Oh no. That was another person, wasn't it? Please don't come this way, please, please don't—

"Huh? Is that someone in there?"

Dammit. Bernadetta gets a better look at the source of the voice. It was Cyril.

"I-I'm so sorry!!! I needed a hiding spot afterIngridbrokedownthedoortomyroom and—"

"Hey, relax. You've got nothin' to worry about. After all, I'm just trying to do what Lady Rhea would like me to do. Say, didn't you get along with Alois? I saw you talking to him normally"

Ah... Uncle Alois, that's right! How could she have forgotten that???

"Oh... You're right! How did I forget that? Ohhh... But he's probably surrounded by a lot of... Strangers...!"

"Is that it? Wow, you're just as a lone wolf as Felix. I rarely ever see either of you with anyone!"

"Oh no.... Nonononono, not Felix!!! I bet he's still looking for me, wanting to slice me in half with that sword of his!!!! I can't take this anymooooore!!!!"

And again, Bernadetta sprints faster than Cyril could react. He blinks in shock as he watches her flee.

"Wow... People did say she was an odd one, but I never would've thought she'd be THIS odd... Then again, kids hear in the monastery are kinda weird to begin with"

He mumbles to himself, turning back to the uneven bush that Bernadetta was using as a hiding spot, getting ready to work.

————————————————

By the time the bell rang, signaling the end of class for the day, poor Bernie had tried hiding all over Garreg Mach: Inside the pond, under the table of the dining hall.... Heck, even inside professor Byleth's dorm room, who had to usher Bernie out of there himself. She was exhausted, due to all the running and panicking. She looked back at her dorm room, seeing that the door was finally fixed, but just as she was gonna head back to her room...

"Heya Bernadetta! I wasn't expecting to see you out in the open! .... Much less hiding under the dining table"

That last part was barely heard, but the voice alone made her tense up. Oh no.... Can't Bernie catch a break from wanting to get away from people???

"Wh-wha? Who's there? What do you want from Bernie!? I just wanna go back to my room!!!"

"Hey, hey! Easy Bernadetta, it's just me, Caspar! Remember? The one who carried you out of your room that time to show you a pretty view?"

Caspar grins, remembering the memory. Bernadetta wouldn't stop flailing her arms around in a frenzy, and because of that Caspar almost dropped her more than once... But seeing her at ease put him at ease too.

"Oh... Caspar! I've been meaning to ask you for some time on where I could see that pretty view again... But I've n-never built the courage to ask. I can't even say hello to Marianne without running away! Such a bad Bernie"

"Actually, I was thinking of asking you to come with when class started, but uhh... As you probably already know: You spent the whole day running away after Ingrid knocked your door down. She still feels bad about that, y'know"

Bernadetta's eyes widen slightly, mouth agape. Ingrid felt... Guilty about knocking down Bernadetta's dorm room? And here Bernadetta was thinking that Ingrid wanted to kill her.

"Nevermind that though! The class was really cool: There was an even better AND prettier view on the wyvern than on land! You gotta come with to see it, before the sun fully sets!"

"Oh, I'm sorry Caspar, but... I'm too tired for that, and—"

Caspar wasn't listening. Too caught up in his own excitement, he wraps his arms around Bernadetta and lifts her, carrying her exactly like last time he wanted to show her that view. Of course, Bernadetta panicks again at the sudden contact, flailing her arms about.

"WH-WHAT'RE YOU DOING!?!? PUT ME DOWN!!!! NOT AGAAAAAAAIN!!!!"

"Relax Bernie! You won't regret it, I swear it!"

'Bernie'? This made her stop for a few moments. It was odd to hear someone else use her own nickname, but... Bernadetta didn't really disliked it. As long as Caspar doesn't throw her off the wyvern once they actually get on it, maybe she could get used to it.
