Jakob and Xander who both have a crush on F!Corrin at the same time? Curious to see which would pick up on the other man’s feelings first, if they would attempt any preventative measures…little details like those.
Ty! Hope your week is peaceful and filled with love! ❤️
I was so hyped about this prompt when I got it I am so mad the writer block hit me like a truck.
Xander and Jakob crushing on Corrin
Corrin here is female
As much as Jakob respected the royal family... Yeah, him and Xander don't get along once they both realized their feelings for Corrin. He showed his real nature even if his harsh comments were terribly hidden behind a smile.
Even during war, sometimes men will act like entitled children when it came to love.
They both had their little jabs at each other- Xander kept things much more civil than Jakob though.
While Jakob didn't intend to actually follow his heart he did try to make his feelings slightly more known just to spite Xander.
And of course the passive aggressive comments would be something they'd pass to each other every now and then. Xander would point out how it's inappropriate for a servant to fall for their master- while Jakob would point out how Corrin still sees Xander as her brother despite everything.
Both of them were competitive so they even got as far as make bets on who treats Corrin better during certain times.
But around Corrin? The two men were at their best behavior. Let her turn her head for a second though and the most they'll do is strike glances at one another.
In the end they had one major thing in common: they cared about Corrin's feelings above all else. They were ready that she might make her pick on who to trust her heart with and they know they might not like the answer.
[If she chose Xander]
As mature as this man was the pride he felt was... Making his mood much greater because he also defeated his rival.
He was very much focused on Corrin, but from time to time he found himself smiling for no reason at all when he felt Jakob's jealous glare.
Of course everything eventually calmed down... But Xander can't fully admit that he doesn't miss thrill of the competition.
[If she chose Jakob]
Oh he is smug about it alright. He'd make sure to add as many ever-so-subtle jabs at Xander.
As much as he respects the crown the competitiveness of this man knows no bounds... And now that he won he has never ending bragging right.
Of course, over joy of winning, joy of being with Corrin is much greater. So he's much more focused on his lady than gloating... But he has some time for it too.
[If she chose neither]
Well... That was an outcome neither of them expected and at the same time they knew of the possibility.
Seeing her happy with someone else made them both jealous, but at the same time... It was her choice.
They'd still make it their mission to make sure Corrin is happy - and that SOMETIMES did include intimidating her suitor. You just can't ever be too careful...
