Felt If (Re:Zero)

Chapter 4: It Never Mattered

"Yeah! I'm so pumped! There is nothing that could ruin this day for me!" Subaru stated out loud.

After his meeting with Roswaal just the other day, he decided to come visit the Mathers Domain today. He was finally going to reunite with Emilia. Yes, he knew it's only been four days but it was a very long and painful four days for the poor boy.

"Well, what if that half elf is too busy to see ya?" Felt, who was accompanying him, asked.

"Don't jinx it! I know Emilia will be available, this is destiny after all!" Subaru declared.

Felt simply rolled her eyes. "Cmon, why are you so obsessed with her? According to what ya told me, you only knew her for an hour or something."

"It was love at first sight! When you grow up, you'll get it."

Felt proceeded to stare at Subaru with a disappointed look before turning to Reinhard who was sitting across from the two. "Hey, can't this thing go any faster? I kinda want to see big bro face reality."

"I don't see a reason to rush the dragon carriage. We should be arriving there shortly anyways." Reinhard assured the two.

"Perfect!" Subaru started, "I'll show you just how compatible Emilia and I truly are, lil' sis!"

Felt let out a sigh. "I'm just going to come out and say it. Will you shut up about her? I kinda liked ya better back at Reinhard's prison when you weren't drooling over that half elf."

Still lost in his delusions, Subaru continued, "She has a name you know. It's Emilia."

"Grr... Fine, Emilia! Now shut the hell up before I make you!" Felt glared at Subaru the same way she usually does with Reinhard. Luckily, the intimidation behind that glare was finally enough to snap Subaru out of it.

Subaru closed his eyes and chuckled meekly as he scratched the back of his head. "You're right, sorry about that. I just hadn't had much sleep last night and I'm kinda excited."

"You don't have to tell me that. You really showed it back at that village." Felt recalled before leaning back in the carriage seat, finally satisfied that Subaru finally let it go.

"Miss Felt, if your living space is uncomfortable, I can assist you in fixing that." Reinhard offered, being very clearly concerned that Felt compared his home to a prison.

"Oh boy, hope ya brought a quill because we're gonna be here for a while." Felt smirked rather devilishly, being more than happy to express all of her complaints.

"I don't think that's necessary, I'm positive I'll remember and fix any issues you have." The knight cheerfully reassured, being blissfully ignorannt of the ear torture he is about to endure.

Earlier that morning...

---------------------------------------------------------

"BEEP BEEP BEEP"

Subaru slowly sat up from his bed and turned off his alarm on his phone. He made sure to set it early this time so he wouldn't have to rely on his Felt drop kick alarm. True, it was a one time thing but he was not going to have a repeat of yesterday morning.

He was barely hanging in there. After all, he only slept for about two hours last night working on his sewing project. He would've done it in the afternoon after all those lessons but Felt insisted on hanging out with him the whole time. She even participated in the writing lessons Carol provided him despite her disinterest in all of Reinhard's lessons.

Regardless, night was the only real chance he had to privately work on it. Luckily, he finished just in time to even have any sleep. Right now, his hard work was hiding in a sealed box that Reinhard lent him.
