[ It's international kissing day! ] || @heartscribed
😘 final one but claude for his teach
IT’S DIFFICULT TO TAKE CLAUDE BY SURPRISE. The man was a schemer by nature, an important detail Byleth soon grew to learn as she taught the Golden Deer class. Surprising him seems almost like an impossible task and yet she felt incredibly mischievous that day -- Lorenz would say Claude is rubbing off on her, much to his dismay. By Sothis, if her father could look at her now, acting mischievous and playful… Teaching these kids has sure changed her for the better.
Byleth approached the war meeting room in silence, already hearing Claude’s voice form the hallway explaining his latest strategy to approach the Empire army. She remained by the door, listening in silence, as a small, very subtle smile formed on her face. It still amazed her to see them all grown up, to see how the past five years have changed them, especially Claude.
Doing her best to be discreet, Byleth went inside and walked towards the large table where everyone was gathered. Claude’s back was facing her the entire time. Her demeanor didn’t change, that subtle smile was still present. Just as he was saying “Morning, Teach,” Byleth turned to quickly kiss his lips before facing the others as if nothing had happened. “Good morning everyone. I hope you already had breakfast, we have a long day ahead of us.”
Her gaze had lowered to the documents and the map of Fodland before she could get a good look at their reactions, but Byleth could imagine what their faces were like. The biggest mystery, as always, was Claude’s, but surprise was a guaranteed after her little stunt.
