(DISCONTINUED) From another world (Claude x Reader)

5

"Christ almighty I have to talk to Rhea! Wait, no this isn't that important.." I shot up the bed a little, causing my back and stomach to hurt pretty badly. I then lay down again against my pillow and grunt in return to the pain. "Heeeey (y/n)∼ What isn't so important?∼ " Claude scoots a closer to my face with this really interested grin. I gulp trying to form a response in my brain. He seems to visibly get closer to my face and I feel my entire face catch fire. My brain is a mess and the only sentence I could form has, of course, to be "My love and affection for you bye!". I then pull the covers over my face and turn away from Claude's side. "Oh?∼ Really? So you're saying I'm not that important?∼ You're so mean sweety ∼ " Oh this bastard is doing this on purpose! " Go away. No ones home." I grumble under the sheets. "Really cause it sounds more like someone certainly is home. And has some big secerts they're not telling me too! Do you not trust me? Is it that?" Claude keeps talking and I'm left with no choice but to come forth. I look at him with a helpless look and an even bigger blush still dusted on my cheeks. "Ok that's enough Claude, (y/n) has just awoken and needs to recover. Don't you have better things to do? Like for example tell your classmates that (y/n) is awake and well perhaps?" Seteth argues, trying to stop him from questioning me so much. Claude sighs. "Right you are." He folds his arms behind his head for a bit. "I'll see you later (y/n), I'll also probably bring some of the others with me too. They'll want to see you in person." He waves and leaves the room with a rather dissatisfied look. D-did only I just see that? He looked so different from his usual self. Could it be that that was his real scheming self right now? Either way I sigh out in relief and look back at the three remaining people. "Thanks so much for saving my skin there Seteth." I give him a bright smile. "S-sure thing..." did he just blush a little? Must've been my imagination. "(y/n) now I think is the best time to tell you. I have also been filled in on your origin. I still hope we can become friends." Flayn bows lightly. "Aww Flayn I'd love to be your friend!" And with that an amazing friendship has been formed. Turns out my wounds were so vital that Manuela has had to put me under a fake coma so that my body stays alive. I also had to stay in bed for the next two weeks. Thankfully some of my friends came by. Or I guess I already see them as friends, no idea if the others from the golden deer house do so too. Claude also came by, most of the time with others but in rare occasions he came alone, that is when he tries to get some information out of me. He makes small talk, then flirts with me and hopes for a slip up on my part after getting flustered. Yet there is one thing he didn't take into consideration, me not only enjoying this, but also having read this exact scenario in a fanfiction once. I'm prepared, and he hopefully isn't. He told me in our last meeting that he'd come by today as well, so now I'm just waiting for him while repeating my dialog options in my head over and over again. And then he enters. Alone. He closes the door behind him and looks at me with his smug grin as always. "Heeeello there (n/n), great weather we're having." He comes to my side and sits on the chair next to the bed. "Yes the sunshine rather beautiful today wouldn't you agree?" I say knowing fully which line he's gonna use next. "Oh that may be true, but you are far more beautiful∼ " I still blush lightly, but not as much as the first time he called me beautiful. "Oh thank you! That reminds me, I've been thinking of this hypothetical question lately to pass time and I'm curious to see to which conclusion you would come to." I grin lightly, this is gonna be so good if it works! "Oh? Tell me! You've piqued my interest." "The question goes as follows: 'Would you rather eat a brick or a matter baby?'" I try to keep my face calm and collected. He looks a little lost. "Hmmm that really depends. What's a matter baby?" I no longer can keep my grin from spreading. "Nothing much whats the matter with you honey?" He needs some time to process my answer. As he does his face starts glowing a bright red. I laugh uncontrollably at his cute response. I feel tears forming in my eyes. God how long has it been since I've last laughed this hard? Claude looks at me with a rather angry look, his red cheeks speak another story tho. Just like when you tease him at tea time! "Ok you got me! But don't even think that you've won this war!" He gives me his shit eating grin and I can't help but smirk back. "Oh well before we go at each others throats later tonight", I wink while saying tonight, "just let me tell you that your smile is proof that the best things in life are free." I look at him lovingly. His face pretty much just exploded. Success! He coughs to try and calm himself down and even looks away but the blush is still permanently on him. "W-well if you wanna play dirty than so be it! You make everything better. If people were more like you the world would be perfect." Now my face explodes. O-Oh gawd that was a critical hit. I look him in the eyes and then quickly to everything else that isn't him. I hold my blanket over my face and make a quick squel before looking up at him again. " You're the nothing when people ask me whats on my mind. " He is taken back, he even holds his hand over his heart in a dramatic way. God this dork is gonna be the death of me. His face becomes serious in milliseconds. " If you knew how much I think about you, I would be very embarrassed. " "Oh. My. God. Stop iiiit! You're making me fall even harder for you, if that is even possible- wait you're thinking of me too?" I get taken out of my flirt zone and back into reality. His face is facing the door instead of me, his eyes scanning desperately over everything that isn't me. Did just he make a slip up instead of me? "W-well noooo? I was j-just using a pick up line on you, nothing more!" "Claude you don't have to hide anything, you slipped up. And as severely as that too, to just tell me you have a crush on me." I giggle lightly and watch his moves. "That's good to hear, now I know for certain I don't have a one sided crush." I smile and he quickly turns to me again. "W-wait you feel the same? That wasn't just an act?" I gasp and bend over to hold his cheeks. "I would never, NEVER try and fake my feelings! To fake having a crush on someone is the absolute worst! I do like you in more than just a friend way... I really do" I look at him with loving and pleading eyes. He clasps his hands over mine and leans into them some more, returning my loving gaze with his. I scoot closer, trying to get our fore heads to touch, that is when I suddenly lose bedding and start to fall over. Claude quickly catches me, but we somehow ended up in a position where he sits on the floor and I landed on his lap with my back and my legs still on the bed, thank fuck the bed isn't very high so it doesn't really hurt to lay like this. "looks like we've gotten ourselves into a predicament~" Claude teases as he leans towards my face. I'm left with nothing else to do but get even more flustered and scan his beautiful face. His eyes, they're so beautiful I'm taken back slightly till I notice our lips almost touching. "I've always wanted to know how exactly you taste... " he says in a hushed voice. My heart is racing, will this be my f-first kiss? I close my eyes and start leaning in too. I can feel his breath on mine... Then...  The door gets opened and someone walks in. Claude quickly retorts back to his sitting position with his arms held high in a 'I surrender' position and I lean back into his lap with wide eyes looking at who ruined my moment. "did I... Interrupt something?" Byleth walks in, a book in his hands. "what? Oh no no no! We were just- well Claude was just teasing me and I accidentally fell down the bed. He tried to catch me and now we're in this position." I try to hide my embarrassment with a fake grin. Byleth doesn't seen to believe me shiiiiit. "it happened literally seconds before you arrived teach, serious! " Claude tries to help. Byleth sighs out in defeat and walks up to us. He takes my body from Claude's lap and on to the bed, he doesn't help Claude up tho. "I came here to explain the new chapter from today's class." "perfect! I tried to read on but it just didn't make any sense." I laugh out a little while scratching the back of my head. I can't see Claude's face while doing so, he probably has his normal grin on. "well teach I'll leave the teaching to you. I'll see you tomorrow (n/n)~" he waves at me and leaves the room. "Now let me explain the topic... " "and that should be it. Any other questions?" "no I think that's everything for now, thank you" Byleth packs his things and stands up. "I also have a message from Manuela, you'll be able to leave your bed from tomorrow on. Try to walk as much as you can to train your leg muscles again. " "finally! It's been so boring these past weeks! " my face instantly lights up at these good news. "don't over do it" Byleth warns me. "yes sir" I salute. His lips turn upwards a little. He- he just smiled! Yasssss his emotions slowly but steadily come forth! The professor excuses himself and leaves the room. Guess it's time to learn some more.

Claude POV

"perfect! I tried to read on but it just didn't make any sense." (y/n) says in a very confused tone. Wait she doesn't know this? This chapter is covered in every persons study. Even farmers that never went to school know this! Just who exactly is she? "well teach I'll leave the teaching to you. I'll see you tomorrow (n/n)~" I wave at her and leave the room. It's a good thing she's really head over heels for me. Now that I have her complete trust I should be able to ask about her origin. There must be a reason as to why she knows things like the identity behind the death knight but than at the same time be clueless about simple 101 war strategies... How very interesting.

Sorry for the long wait. I'm currently in Spain for the holidays and too busy to write a proper chapter. The next part will also be published in like a week. Thank you for understanding -evonacht
