A Little Bit at a Time [Fire Emblem Three Houses x Reader]

Sudden Changes in Life

"As for you...," Rhea stares over at me from behind Byleth who didn't seem to be all that anxious.

For some reason I felt like I was going to die right then and there. I don't know why but I am extremely nervous right now.

"I've heard you have exceptional skills in all variation of weaponry so I feel that you should be a professor's assistant. Meaning you will help all of the professors here at this academy and aid them when needed," Rhea approaches me with a soft smile on her face.

"Oh umm I suppose I may assist you the best way I can my lady," I tried to respond to her formally since she had that flair of royalty around her.

"I expect great things from you and your sister," Rhea looks up at both Byleth and I as we exchange glances to each other.

"It seems that I have more urgent things to take care of at the moment. So why don't both you go around and meet some of the students. I can assure you they are wonderful students."

And with that she turns away with Seteth behind her. I can feel his glare on us but let's just try to ignore them for now.

"Let's head on out and go greet the students shall we?" I hook my arms around Byleth's arm and we made our way out saying our farewells to Jeralt who stood there trying to be the big man but I know deep down he hates this place for some reason.

We made our way out of the building and began to walk out onto the cobblestone bridge. For some reason, the place looks so simple to go around but now as you look at it...

"Where do we go?! Which place goes where?!" I began to panic until Byleth pulls away and walked down a small path surrounded with vines and roses.

What the hell is she thinking? Where is she even going?

I decide to follow her and take in the exploration of the academy grounds. We walk up towards this long building with many doors. Beside each door the wall was adorn with a flag.

Black Eagles.

Blue Lions.

Golden Deer.

I grab some of the flags smiling to myself taking in each design. So intricate and so medieval. I am feeling such old fairy tale time vibes. I feel like drawing each flag. Maybe I will later. Do they even have sketch pencils? Who knows. Maybe even simple pen and paper will but fine.

"Hey you guys are new! Wait are you going to be the new professor everyone is talking about?!"  I turn around to see Byleth next to a girl with two pink pigtails and another with light blue hair braided and pinned behind her head.

She looks like she hasn't slept in years. 

Byleth just gives them a simple nod making you face palm sighing trying to hold in the embarrassment and her silliness. I walk up behind Byleth placing a hand gently on her shoulder chuckling softly.

"Sorry ladies Byleth isn't really all that much of a talker," I apologize to them as join in the mess.

"Oh well then! I guess we should introduce ourselves!~ I'm Hilda!~" The girl with pink pig tails states placing her on chest smiling.

"And I...I'm Marianne," The other girl states in a low voice.

"I'm (y/n) and this is my sister Byleth," I straighten up and adjust my shirt nodding my head in acknowledgement smiling.

"Wow sisters? You guys look nothing alike," Hilda notes staring in astonishment.

"Oh well yeah, I was taken in by her dad," I clarify.

"Hilda! Marianne! What are you two doing over there?!" A familiar male's voice reaches my ears.

"Oh is that the new professor?" A male with a strange haircut with purple hair pokes a question in interest.

"Oh Claude! Lorenz! Yeah we were just chatting with the new professor and her sister," Hilda moves aside to reveal Claude and Lorenz walking closer to us.

"Well well well if it isn't sharp eye charmy?" I stick my tongue out at Claude playfully.

"Woah there. Just because you saved my life doesn't mean you get to bully me," Claude laughs in response.

I walk up to Claude puffing up my cheeks pouting and pull on his cheeks.

"As if! I can do as I please and I didn't have to help you!"

"Well I saved you too~" He wiggles his eyebrows making me laugh.

This is pretty sudden but I think this change in my life will be great. I seem to have started off on the right foot. I have a family. I have made some probable friends. And I have not been close to death.

What could ruin any of this?

"Please refrain causing such a scene Claude," Lorenz scolds Claude.

"I'm just having fun with Bambi here~" Claude wraps his arm around my neck as my cheeks flare up into a bright shade of red.

Maybe my heart will get in the way of a lot of things....
