Can we please get some more Raphael love and appreciation? Like??? I feel like not enough people love him and I adore him because he's just such a good man. I love Raphael! Wow **I really hope he likes boys!**
/for some reason all the axe fighters (Edelgard, Hilda, Alois, Raphael, etc.) in this game are hella attractive and my Pansexual ass can't help myself but want to marry them all/
STORYTIME!
You threw all your energy into that last punch. You, Raphael, Dedue, Felix, and Caspar were all told by Professor Byleth to work on your brawling skills. Since Byleth basically sticks a middle finger up at the Church and teaches all three houses with a very elaborate teaching schedule, it allowed people from all over the continent and even beyond to work together. It's great in most ways and iffy in others, but no need to worry because those social barriers are being broken down! Like Dedue is from Duscur and you're from Almyra, but thanks to the unification Byleth brought that's starting not to matter. We're Not even in the Golden Deer Route (specifically) but we're gonna fight the CEO of racism! Hooray!
You fixed your posture and grinned, getting a crick out of your neck. Damn that felt good to just let your brawling fists loose on a punching bag! You turned your head to see Felix begging Caspar to fight him and Dedue just focusing on his training without saying a word. Hey, where's ya boi Raph? You turned around and there he was, grinning and sweating. Everyone here just had a killer workout it's great.
"So (name) I'm gonna head to the mess hall and get me something good to eat! Food's always better in company, so would you join me for a meal?"
"Heck yeah! I'd love to!"
And then you were off! Raphael went ahead and picked you up, placing younon his shoulders as you walked from the training area to the mess hall. You went around through the dormitories' area so you didn't have to deal with any ceilings and banging you're head anywhere. The pair of you learned the hard way to avoid closed-ceiling spaces when Raphael decided to carry you. Why Raphael carried you? You didn't know. He just did this one day and it's became a ritual for him to carry you on his shoulders and the two of you go to the mess hall for a protein and iron rich meal to strengthen your muscles. Spinach and Brussels sprouts are high in iron, and that's the only way anyone can get Raphael to eat anything other than meat. It's great. Raphael is such a cool dude.
You waved to Leonie as she was talking with Jeralt and Byleth by the dorms and caught Bernadetta just as she was scurrying back to her room. Raphael laughed as a group of cats started chasing both Dimitri and Edelgard while you noticed Dorothea and Claude having some sort of flirt war with eachother. Ashe was teaching Ignatz about different flowers in the greenhouse as Linhardt took a rest with Lysithea, Mercedes, and Annette just outside of it. Alois was teaching Flayn and Ingrid how to fish and Petra was teaching Lorenz some of her language so he could have proper diplomacy with her father if needed. It's so amazing to see everyone getting along. It's great.
"We're here Raph! Put me down please!"
"You got it!"
Raphael took his big, strong arms and he lowered you back down to the ground. It never got old! Being carried by Raph you mean. You skipped into the mess hall, hungry after such an intense brawling workout. Maybe they'll have a rack or three of ribs? You turn your head to make sure Raph was Following you and he was. Lucky for the two of you there was no line and the lunch ladies know exactly what you want:
"Give is the best, meatiest thing on the menu!"
They nodded, taking your orders yet again as you both found a nice place to sit at the tables very close to the kitchen. It's gonna be heaps of food on a central plate for you both just to reach in, grab, and share. Between the two of you, you both could probably finish off three racks of quality ribs and still ask for more. You hummed happily and swung your feet under the table. Raphael looked down, seeming puzzled. Was something wrong? He lifted his head and put on a clumsy smile.
"Do you wanna know what my dream is, (name)?"
You nodded profusely, instantly curious.
"My dream is to grow up and be a knight. But not just any knight, a powerful knight who can joke together Fódlan. Like, all together. That way our family business, run by my little sister Maya, can spread across a peaceful continent so no accidents happen like the one that killed my parents. I can escort her and help make this world a better place as a knight, and I can be really strong and be a big brother that Maya can be proud of. Then everyone can eat together at the same table, merchants can just be merchants, and where you come from doesn't matter any more! I mean, I think that sounds pretty cool. Oh! And you're there too (name)! We're both strong knights together so we don't have to split up! Like a dynamic duo or whatever! Doesn't that sound like Fun?"
That's a beauitful dream. You love it. His little sister Maya,everyone becoming happily unified, it sounded so perfect. It sounded like the future that Claude and Byleth had described to you several times, but better! You didn't know if Raphael meant being a knight of serios, having a liege or whatever else. That part didn't matter. The fact that he added you into his dream warmed your heart. The lunch ladies set the mountain of food in front of you both, sitting adjacently on one bench, and they smiled before taking their leave. Ah, a perfect snack. Ooh are there ribs in there? Yummy!
"Oh! And all our friends are here too! Maya sits next to me when we eat on my other side, and then we have Caspar and Ignatz and Petra and Felix and Hilda eating with us too! Claude, Byleth, Lorenz, Dimitri, Ingrid, and a bunch of other people sit at that table behind us while Dorothea, Linhardt, Mercedes, Annettee, Lysithea, Marianne, and everyone else scatters around in front of us! And everyone eats together like one big happy family! Doesn't that sound awesome? We'd all be family! You'd be my family!"
You'd be... his family? You felt your face flush and your grin spread. Now that sounds like a dream you can dream too. Growing old together, fighting at eachother's back, always looking out for one another and always getting around together... that sounds like a perfect future. You snagged a turkey leg and bit a huge chunk out of it, taking a hunk of cheese and forcing some into your mouth as well. Eating's always better in company. You swallowed a heccin big bite and nodded in agreement, letting out a content sigh.
"I'd love to be your family, Raphael. Always and forever."
"Great! Sounds like a proposal then!"
Yeah... It does....
