It was the night before attack at Garreg Mach, both Claude and Byleth rested in a small hill sitting not far from the monastery. Byleth was reading a book, preparing for the next lecture tomorrow and Claude was gazing into his emerald eyes that seem to glisten in the moonlight.
"How long are you planning to stare at me Claude?" Byleth said, removing his glasses and placing down his book, "I am aware of your feelings for me, but I didn't think it was this strong. "
Claude couldn't help but to give a chuckle, "Because, you are absolutely the most beautiful person in the world. " Claude said and pulled one of Byleth's hand to his lips.
Byleth blushed in response, but didn't pull his hand away.
"Claude." Byleth said, drawing the brunette's attention from his hand.
"Yeah Teach?"
"Why would you change so much for me? After, I mean, I fell for you even for your mischievous self."
Claude took a deep breath and looked towards the moon, "I felt like, I wasn't ready for you... If I didn't change for you, I could've lost you.. I missed my chance before. I'm not going to screw it up again. "
Byleth remained silent, as if he was trying to comprehend Claude's words.
Claude could feel a mental slap as Sothis was fuming behind him.
"What I mean to say is Teach, Because I am scared to loose you. Even if it wasn't even predetermined yet. Because I love you."
Byleth just nodded, unsure what to think about those words. However, he just pushed it aside to think about it later tonight. He closed his book and pushed it away somewhere.
"If that's the case, let's not waste any moment together Claude. "

It was crazy after that night in Fodlan, as Byleth had led the class into battle. It was a few days after the incident where they found out Edelgard was the Flame Emperor. Claude can see the anger in Byleth's eyes. He was upset, but not like Rhea's anger, it was more like sadness. Heartbroken about Edelgard and her intentions.
There not far from the battlefield, Claude spotted Kronya, the girl who murdered Captain Jerlat. He can tell Byleth was not happy at all.
(im lazy forgive me)
Byleth had collapsed before him, as Claude just sighed as he just stared at Byleth. He look extremely tired. Claude lifted him up from the ground and carried him bridal style back to the monastery.
