Legit, I thought I would go Golden Deer for my first time playing 3H, but I fell in love with all the Blue Lions students and now I can't see myself as anyone else. Also the memes of 3 houses have been getting to me.

Here's our boy Dimitri (Pre-time skip)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~Reader POV~

It was a typical day at Garreg Mach Monastery, and my class of the Blue Lions were hard at work during our typical daily training routine. Ashe was practicing his archery with Mercedes and Anette watching, Ingrid was working on her lance skills with Sylvain, and Felix was in a heated sparring session with Dimitri.

Meanwhile, I was practicing with Dedue on my sword skills. He was holding a lance; not his typical weapon of choice, but I asked him to use it so I could get better at battling against lances.
I took a swing, and Dedue blocked, so I feinted an attack, and managed to get Dedue in the back. Obviously not hurting him, it was just a practice weapon, but still getting him.

"(Y/N), I don't wish to disappoint you, but perhaps I am not the best lance partner to spar with." The Duscur man spoke in his foreign sounding voice. "Perhaps you would be best with His Highness to spar with."

"O-Oh, Dimitri?" I asked shakily. "Maybe I'll wait..."

I was hiding my hand behind my head, and a red blush hit my face. Truth was, I loved Dimitri, but I always kept to the side and watched him from afar. He liked me also, but as a fellow student friend kind of way, not the same as I did. I loved him, but silently pined from far away. His blonde hair, his grace and skill, his personality, I would gush over.

"You won't get better if you do not practice against someone who knows the weapon." Dedue insisted. "I am unfortunately not able to handle the lance as well as His Highness, so I suggest you try and ask him for assistance."

"W-well, If your so s-sure." My voice was all flustered. I looked over, and the boar prince was in a pretty good sparing match with Felix. Sweat dripped from Dimitri and flung off his head to shimmer in the light. My legs shook and I felt in awe watching him. I wanted to just keep watching his spar, but I decided I needed to ask him for help.

I was nervous, I had never asked Dimitri to spar with me. I always would get too flustered around him, and I would be unable to focus. I approached behind him, trying to keep away.
"H-h-hey Dimitri..." I quietly asked.

I took a step back as he did to dodge an attack from Felix. "Um, Dimitri...?" I asked a little louder.
He was laser focused on his fight with Felix, not even seeming to notice me at all.
"Dimitri..."

"I'll get to... urgh!" He spoke up finally. He must have heard me. I approached closer behind him.

"Oh you h-heard me!" My voice shook. "OK, well I w-was wondering i-if y-you would--"

In that moment, Dimitri dodged to the left, and I saw Felix running at me. Then, it all happened so fast.
Felix took a swing, and completely cut me open with his sword. The metal tore into my flesh, and blood began to flow. Clothes torn and force of the strike pushed into me.
"GRAHH!" I screeched in pain. A large, diagonal cut from my left shoulder all the way to the right front of my hip, had been opened. The look on Felix's face was something I had never seen before; fear. He instantly stopped dead in his tracks when he realized what he had done, and stared at me with his mouth open. Almost like he was shocked at his own strength, and in horror at what he did.
