Inside the crawlspace sat a young child. Dedue could only see their outline in the shadows, but could tell that they had curled up with their knees against their chest. Wide eyes nervously stared back at Dedue; they could make out that he was there, but could not distinguish him otherwise.

Dedue continued to lower himself towards the ground, slightly moving forward. The child visibly flinched, so Dedue carefully set his weapon aside to display his empty hands. “It’s okay. I am here to help. I will not hurt you,” he said, using the softest voice he could muster.

Dedue and the Duscur group who saved him travel to a Duscur settlement that is under attack by bandits. By helping a boy find his mother, he brings about an unexpected reunion.

Here is my fic for the Dedue Week event on Twitter! I wrote this with the day 3 prompts in mind (safety/danger) though it is obviously very late due to how long this piece ended up being and my own procrastination. This is a part of a whole bunch of headcannons I’ve had trapped in my brain about Dedue’s timeskip, so I hope there is enough context included and that y’all enjoy it! I hope to do more with these characters in the future.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses Drabble - Dedue Molinaro - Dedue Week Day 2

A/N: Still a little late but what the heck! Imma DO THIS

Day: 2 Prompt: Battle|Home Characters: Dedue Molinaro x F!Byleth/Professor Warnings: None Word Count: 674 Summary: Home is a place, however it is also not. -- Dedue is confused by this statement, and seeks to find an answer.

Home.

It was a word that no longer held the meaning it used to.

Home used to mean a small house, with three small bedrooms. Where he would go when it was his turn to help his father tend to the forge. Help his mother in the kitchen because she was willing to teach him something new. Or where his sister would show him how the flowers she was growing had bloomed.

When he was asked by the Professor what home was to him he found himself turning a curious eye to her as she chuckled quietly at his answer.

“I am...confused by your laughter, Professor. Home is a place, is it not?” 

Dedue felt his heart flutter in his chest when she smiled at him. 

“Home is what you make it to be Dedue,” she replied gently. “It’s not just a place to rest your head, and raise a family. Home, I suppose, is what makes you feel at peace.” 

“At peace?” and his brow furrowed in confusion. 

“Yes. There were many times with Jer--my father, where we would simply be staying at an inn and I felt at home with him, and those that surrounded us. I suppose that means too, that there was a sense of security that came with that peace too. So tell me, what makes you feel at home?”

Dedue pondered the question for a moment, considering her words. He supposed then that he could say that Dimitri was his home, but even though he would do anything, even give his life for him, that answer didn’t quite fit, and his brows pinched further into a scowl as he found that he didn’t have an answer for her. 

“I’m sorry Professor, I think I will have to think over this for a time before I have an answer for you.”

He felt his heart flutter again when she smiled brightly once more, and told him to tell her only when he knew for sure what his answer would be.

With each battle, he wondered exactly what she had meant. Why, or how she found ‘home’ on the battlefield. Was it the thrill of the fight? No, she had said it was when she was at an inn, surrounded by her comrades that she felt at home. He took that to heart, watching her after the battle, how she made her rounds, and checked on each and every one of them. Sometimes she was quiet in the ways she showed affection, especially with him, but he always felt a sense of calm when she was near. When she would smile at him, and he in turn could smile back. 

When she vanished from their lives, he admitted to Ashe one evening when he couldn’t sleep that for the first time in a long time felt as if part of him had been lost, and he wondered if this was how Dimitri felt. 

Only to feel whole once again when she returned. 

Dedue knew the moment she smiled, speaking with him as if no time had been lost between them, what home truly was. 

When the war ended he understood where he needed to be, and why he asked to leave his Kings service. Though the knowing smile he got from Dimitri told him volumes. That his young King--no friend--had known where home had been for him all along, and he rushed to be back at her side. 

“I’ve finally found you…” Dedue breathed when she turned to face him, that smile lighting up her face. 

And when she accepted his proposal, and promised to remain at his side, he felt content. At peace. Enough so that he could give her a soft smile of his own as he wrapped an arm gently about her waist to pull her close. “Do you remember that question you asked of me all those years ago? If I knew what home was to me?” 

When she nodded he leaned down to whisper into her ear.

“Home, is here, forever at my side...”
