Jakob × Fem!Corrin!Reader

Essentially, you are in place of Corrin for this oneshot. That's all.

"Milady, I was wondering if you would speak with me," Jakob said.

"What is it?" you responded.

"Um... Could we, well, go somewhere alone?" Jakob asked. "Perhaps your quarters?"

"Sure. What's so pressing that we need to be alone?" you said, leading Jakob towards your quarters within the astral plane.

"Well, I don't know if it's quite pressing. Pressing is more prompt. I do not require promptness, I require my dignity to remain intact," he said.

When you arrived at your quarters, you opened the door, letting the both of you in. To your surprise, it was cleaner than when you left it. Jakob or Felicia must've cleaned up after you. Just based on knowledge of the two, you safely assumed that it was Jakob.

"Oh, Jakob. You didn't have to clean. That should be the least of your worries," you said.

"Well, milady, it is certainly the least of my worries now." Jakob took your hand. "My greatest worry now is something much more pressing, as you might say."

"What is it?" You stared up at Jakob, expecting him to say something.

That is, you expected him to say something before Felicia burst into the room. "Milady! We're under attack. Come quick!"

"Under attack? In the astral plane? Gods..." You ran into action, grabbing your Yato before charging into battle.

"Milady..." Jakob sighed. "Don't be so careless."

And careless you were. You ended up with a great injury. You may not have survived if Elise weren't nearby when you fell. She had used a healing staff on you, but even then, the staff couldn't fix all of your problems. You were left with a great scar on your stomach where your leggings and chestplate separated. Not only that, but it was extremely hard for you to walk. Your stomach hurt unbearably, but you were just glad to be alive.

Jakob paced outside of your quarters, debating on whether to go in or not. Thoughts raced through his head. So many possibilities of different happenings were zooming through his mind.

"Hey, Jakob. You alright?" Silas asked him.

Jakob gasped in surprise. "Oh. Oh, yes. Fine. I'm just fine."

"Your pacing tells me otherwise. What's up?"

"What's up has nothing to do with you," Jakob scoffed.

"It does have to do with me when it's about [Y/N] - the one who leads both of us in war."

"Don't be so nosy. Can't you bother someone else?"

"You like her."

"I-I have no idea what you're talking about." Jakob flushed red.

"Oh, come on. You just proved it. You told me to piss off. You're a jerk to everyone except her. Face it, Jakob. I was there once too. She's a good girl. Go after her before someone else does. She's one of the more popular bachelorettes. Take her before someone else does."

"Whatever." Jakob left Silas outside your quarters, heading towards where you lay in your bed. Jakob knew that you were popular with the men, but Silas actually saying it seemed to set more realization in. "Milady, are you awake?"

When he got no response, he assumed you weren't. He worried for a split second before seeing your chest rise and fall with your breath. As silently as he could, he pulled a chair over to your bedside. He sat down and ran his hand through your hair. You looked so peaceful. For once a smile wasn't gracing your features, and you didn't have a scowl on your face. Your eyes remained closed and your lips stayed parted, allowing some air through.

You made little noise as you slept, but you weren't very loud. It was more peaceful than anything for Jakob to hear your breathing. The only adjective that could compete was 'calming.'

You shifted slightly, still asleep. Slowly but surely, you rolled on to your side, Jakob's hand now trapped under your head. One of your hands raised to itch your face, but instead you hit Jakob's forearm. You let out a little groan before grabbing it. It was a small gesture, but it was one that made Jakob's heart flutter.

He heard the door creak open and turned to find Felicia.

"Milady?" She paused in surprise. "Jakob. I didn't expect you here. Is she still asleep?"

"Yes," Jakob answered, a smile on his face.

Felicia walked over to your bedside, seeing the scene. She let out an 'aw' before smiling at Jakob. She knew he liked you — everyone did, but it brought Felicia a smile to see Jakob so happy.

Look, I recognize that this one's short, but I'm considering making a second part if that's something you guys would like to see. If it is, comment and let me know.

›One more little piece to this A/N‹
I just wanted to say that I currently will take requests for characters from Echoes, though I feel the characters from Fates are a bit more memorable, so I'll focus on them more (until Three Houses comes out). I have played Awakening, however it's been so long that I'd prefer requests stick to Fates or after. Thanks.

Other than that, I hope you enjoyed. ~ Delilah
