summary: despite what people think of dedue, you still seek out his company and he can't understand why...
āyou really should keep your distance from me.ā dedue warned you, as you followed the duscur man with a carefree smile on your lips. āpeople are going to think we are a couple if you don't stop following me around.ā
a little giggle escaped your lips and to dedue's surprise, you grabbed his arm, as you continued to walk beside him.
āi don't mind people believing that.ā you hummed playfully, as you looked up at dedue. āi'd be more than happy to have a handsome boyfriend like you!ā
summary: dedue and you try to hide the fact that you hooked up. but your friends are smarter than to believe your liesā¦

āby the goddessā¦ wake up, we fell asleepā!ā
your slumber was put to an end by dedue, who shook you awake in a hurry. it took a moment before you remembered how you ended up in this situation and why it was so bad that dedue and you had fallen asleep. but when you did, you were wide awake!
āw-what time is itā!?ā
you looked around the room, trying to remember where you had thrown your clothes. after dedue and you snuck away to your room, you hadn't really paid attention where you threw your clothes when you were stripping down. but now you wish you had!
āit's almost two! we'll miss professor byleth's class if we don't hurryā!ā
finally, you spotted some clothes on the floor. with a blanket wrapped around you, you hurried to pick them up and put them on, as dedue did the same. in the distance, you heard the bell ring. your time was up!
āi can't find the rest of my clothesā¦ā
dedue looked around the room, shirtless. but no matter how hard he looked, his shirt was nowhere to be found.
āwe don't have any more timeā¦ā
āfine, iā i'll take the window, you take the door! i'll pass by my room and put on a spare shirt!ā
you nodded silently.
āsee you in class!ā
you arrived on the training grounds shortly after the clock struck two. everyone else was already gathered there and you joined your classmates, trying not to let anyone notice how out of breath you were from running late.
āoh, there you are! we thought something happened, when you didn't show up earlierā¦ā
annette smiled at you, as you joined the group. the other blue lions had gathered up already and dedue was the only one missing now. you hoped that it wasn't too suspicious that the two of you were both lateā¦
āis that shirt new? it feels familiar, but i don't think i've seen you wear it beforeā¦ā
with an innocent smile, mercedes pointed at your shirt. or rather, dedue's shirt! as you looked down on yourself, you realized that you had put on his shirt, without realizing it. both were white and part of your uniform, so you hadn't noticed, while hurrying to get dressedā¦
āyou're right, it is familiar! i think dedue has one just like thatā!ā
dimitri pointed out, smiling as he pointed at the little details on the shirt. dedue was his retainer, so of course dimitri would know what his clothes looked like. but you wish he hadn't said it. while dimitri might've not noticed the implications of what he said, sylvain, felix and ingrid certainly had!
āis it a shirt that looks like dedue's shirt or could it be that this isāā
before sylvain could finish his sentence, ingrid and felix both slapped his arm, causing the redhead to wince.
and as if matters couldn't get worse, dedue joined the group at the worst time possible.
āapologies for being late! i spilled a drink on my shirt and had to get a new one. what did i miss?ā
the other blue lions slowly but surely put together the pieces. and as you could see each one of them have a moment of enlightenment, your face got more and more red.
ād-did i say something i shouldn't haveā¦?ā
dedue noticed the tension, his voice quiet, as he glanced at you. slowly, you nodded and sighed.
