Felix x reader (Ingrid, this isn't a novel)

An: sorry if I haven't written in a year but unfortunately I'm growing up, which means more responsibilities, also I started med school this year 💀 and had to cold turkey quit every single hobby I had, but I got a bit more time now, wanted to try write this for old times sake, I jotted this down when I needed a pause from molecular biology, enjoy

It was Friday Byleth's lesson was almost over, I was counting seconds to the end of the lecture, hands already gripping my training sword, my hyperactive ass despised sitting still at a desk for hours and hours on end, the weekend was just five minutes away and i couldn't wait to have the weekend free to swing around my sword and go ride my Pegasus. I lived and thrived for the rush of adrenaline fight and speed gave me. I always thought falcon knights were the coolest and since I discovered I could become one I was ecstatic.

My childhood friend Ingrid shared this same passion, and often times snuck to the pegasi stables with me, Glenn always joined us under the guise of the 'responsible figure' but really because he liked tending to animals, Sylvain tugged along most times because he was either hiding from his brother or a failed date, the only one who had no reason to be there but most time did was Felix, he was silent most times, unless you count his usual murmured 'tsk, I should be training right now' perfectly timed about five minutes apart or every time Sylvain said something annoying.

At first it was all fun and games but then Duscar happened, and it destroyed most of us it looked like something in Felix's brain snapped and the comments he made whenever the topic 'Falcon knights' came up turned from a bit blunt but honest and genuine to something more critical, sometimes even sexist, I knew losing his brother was a huge hit but i couldn't just sit there and take it, so slowly we started training together les and less, there was never a breaking moment, we simply gradually shifted apart.

Since we arrived to garreg mach the distance was plain as day, we both still loved to train but not together, not anymore, which was a shame because we were a good pairing before all that crap, sometimes I miss it but even if he's just a few steps away I just can't bring myself to talk to him, which creates many embarrassing moments whenever our eyes casually met...

The bell rung and I was about to run out to my freedom when professor byleth said "y/n, Felix, I need to talk to you"  FUCK

I looked at professor Byleth then at Felix, only to notice he was looking at me too, I turned around at light speed and according to the professor's reaction he did the same "this is exactly what I wanted to talk about" I walked up to the blackboard strapping in for a long and uncomfortable conversation, when Byleth was sure all the others were out the classroom and then started "I know not everyone can be best of friends and I tend to avoid stepping in on personal dynamics unless it's strictly necessary, but the lack of communication between you two has been a problem on the battlefield, it's dangerous not just for you but for the whole class" before I could say anything Felix spoke "and? What do you want me to do about it?"

"Well, since Tomas turned out to be a traitor nobody has been organising the library, and Manuela says it's a work for two, so the two of you are gonna work together on it and hopefully learn how to work together somewhere where nobody's life's at risk" the response was immediate and from both of us "no" but as I suspected Byleth wasn't kidding "that's not an extra credit assignment, none of you is seeing a weapon until you learn basic communication, you're both dismissed, library duty starts after lunch" professor said, his words final as he closed his book and left the room.

I left without saying a word, still too irritated to talk to him, not that he tried to stop me anyway, I needed to talk to Ingrid...

I sat by my friend, explaining what happened just minutes earlier as she inhaled the chicken with her usual speed "and now I gotta work with him" I sighed, pushing around the peas in my plate, last thing I was expecting were Ingrid's next words "you know he's actually got a point..." I glared at her "...speaking purely from battlefield experience, if you can't communicate it can get dangerous" unfortunately for me it made sense "last time I tried to talk to him it lead to nothing actually productive, what makes you think this time is gonna be any different?"
