Spilled Blood (Dimitri x F!Reader)

Chapter 5: Childish Fantasies

[1180 Imperial Year, 27th of Great Tree Moon]

The gentle strokes of the brush felt nice against your (H/C) hair. You finished the last stroke and quietly placed your brush on your desk. A weary sigh escaped your lips as you placed on your uniform.

You had been recently told there would be a mock battle coming within the next couple days. What did not help was, you were going to one of the few to represent the Blue Lions. The pressure already seemed like a lot. On top of all that, you had not decided how you were going to fight. You were unsure if you wanted to use a weapon or magic.

You silently began to place your arms into the sleeves in top of your uniform. A decision was going to be needed soon for how you wanted to fight. You were proficient with most weapons and with magic, but it was difficult to say what you were stronger with.

Without warning, the sound of banging on your door greatly startled you. You nearly one of the sleeves in the moment from your sudden movement. You released a irritated sigh as you turned toward the direction of the door.

"Who is it?" You called out while trying not to sound annoyed.

"Hey! It's me! Can we talk?" A familiar voice responded.

Of course it was Sylvain.

"Give me a second." You replied, finishing putting on the uniform.

At a moment later, you hastily opened the door to see a patient Sylvain standing in the hallway. He waved to you as you shut the dark wooden door to your room.

"I'm here. What do you want to talk about?" You calmly asked.

"It kind of a lot actually. Let's talk on the way." He said, beginning to walk down the hallway.

You silently follow him as he began to tell you about his new supposed love interest and the issues he was having with other women. In all honesty you hardly cared for any of this information, but you decided to help him out with whatever and if he needed to vent about.

"Well...let me ask you something. Do you love this girl?" You carefully asked.

"Well...I think I am." He responded.

"Think or know?" You challenged.

Sylvain slowly began "Well actually I-"

You firmly interrupted, "Sylvain...if you don't actually like her, don't date her. You will just be wasting your time and her time."

This was the same situation every time. Sylvain likes a woman for about a day or two and then decides he doesn't like her anymore. He has never had a fully committed relationship, so he dates around in hopes of finding the right person. Although it would be difficult to find the person as he dated multiple woman at the same time sometimes.

"I know you are right. It's just hard." He confessed.

"I mean you do whatever you want to do. At the end of the day I can't control your actions." You replied trying not to feel annoyed.

A deep frustration always lingers for couple minutes. every time he talks to you about the women he dates. You always tell him advice that would help, but he never takes it. It is overwhelming how irritated you get with him.

"Hey Y/N!" A familiar voice called out, drawing your attention away from Sylvain.

Your (E/C) eyes shifted toward the direction of the voice. Your eyes lit up once they came in contact with the beautiful familiar ice blue eyes.

"Good morning Dimitri!" You waved to him.

He waved back before descending down the stairs to the outside. Both Sylvain and you walked down the stairs. You watched as Dimitri approached the Dedue and the two of them began a conversation of their own.
