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.
