Don't Leave My Side (Ike X Reader)

Warnings: None
Gender: Female

Ike is sailing with the company. Comfort luv n hugz. It's Ike, fav FE character. Maybe this is why he's had, oh I don't know, like 3 BLOODY ONE SHOTS in this book?! (OK technically 'Living The Game' isn't him specifically but it is his game) This is a short and sweet one, but also ends kinda funny.

I also noticed Ike (and by extension characters from his games) doesn't have a lot of one shots on Wattpad. If you know any books on here, let me know. Please no Summoner one shots though. I like the ones where they take place in their world/game, if you know what I mean.
I'm not knocking the Summoner ones, it's just not my cup of tea

Takes place during PoR, the chapter where everyone is sailing, so Ike in his PoR outfit
ENJOY!

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

Ike and his crew of Mercenaries had been sailing on the high seas for a few weeks now, ready to get to another job which they were requested for, but (Y/N) couldn't sleep. She wasn't sure why; could it have been from the battle with the raven laugz who were pirates? She was exhausted, but could not fall asleep.

She's the newest member of the company, and having a hard time proving herself to everyone that she was capable mercenary. She kept messing up, getting hurt in battle, often severely, and generally causing more issues then she solved.
She felt like everyone looked down at her, and was worried she would be let go from the company if she couldn't get it together. Yet she didn't want to leave, as she had no where else to turn to. 

Realizing that her restlessness in the cabin would wake the others, (Y/N) quietly snuck out, and went above the main deck. There, below the glinting stars, she approached the side of the boat, leaning, and looked off at the waves which would come closer and crash on the boat.

"*Sigh* I'm certain it's only a matter of time before I'm kicked out... I can't fight, especially not as well as the others. What happened to me? I had the courage to join up with this company, and the eagerness to preform, but I just keep failing. What's wrong with me? Why can't I be as good as the others?"

Yet unknown to (Y/N), Ike had heard her leave the cabin. Unable to sleep as well, he fallowed her to above the deck, and watched as she looked off, and sounded like she was mumbling to herself. He slowly approached. "Why are you up at this hour?" He asked. The voice seemed to take (Y/N) by surprise, but relaxed once she realized who was speaking.

"Oh, hey Ike... I could ask you the same thing."

"I couldn't sleep." He bluntly responded. Ike walked over next to (Y/N) who was leaning on the side of the boat, looking off, to which he did the same. The only sounds made was of the waves splashing on the boat, the wind occasionally gusting, and creaking of wood from the ships deck. "How are you adjusting to mercenary life? You mentioned your new to this all." Ike asked.

(Y/N) turned to face him, surprised he was asking questions, as Ike was normally quiet. "Well enough... I suppose?" She trailed off as it felt like she was asking a question.

"Why do you sound so unsure?" Ike interrogated.

"It's just... I'm such a mess up. I mean, before this job, I had never killed before. That killing... even if I know the person is causing problems, it still feels awful to kill. It's been causing me to loose sleep, and... I'm just so shaky with my blade." Unknowingly, (Y/N) took a step closer to Ike.

"Hmph." Ike grunted. "You get used to it. I know you weren't raised for this like I was."

(Y/N) looked down, wondering if she should continue the conversation. "How are... you handling... your father's death?" She quietly asked. Ike perked up at the question, indicating he heard it, but didn't respond. (Y/N) turned her head to face him. "I don't like to bring it up because I know it's hard but... I've noticed changes in you since he passed."
