⚔️ // of course , sun had always been kind. he’d always been gentle. of these traits , byleth could never be surprised. but there were times with the shift in him that byleth found her faith ... wavering all over again. after all , the look in his eyes , even if it only been brief as the twilight’s haze , haunted still. he had peered right through her. had scowled upon her as though she were a blight upon his very existence. she had disgusted him. byleth would not soon forget it.
they had been speaking together , and this whirlwind of thought consumed. byleth found herself falling into a pensive silence , trying to rectify his past with his present and her truths.
he SAID that they were friends. that he wanted to continue to be. but would they truly remain that way? what if he changed his mind?
would he be glad to call her his companion as the time went on? would he want to stay by her side , when her strange new feelings ran rampant in her? when they tumbled and spilled out of her in an overflow?
would he reach for her hand as he used to? would he let her take his , when she needed to? he wasn’t wrong to worry. he was different. he had changed. it was just that , maybe he had changed so much that she would find herself a discarded thing as he moved forward. or , maybe he would see her again for the ashen demon that she was , and could be , as so many had for so long. in that case , how could she truly blame him? that he might catch a glimpse of her bloodstained hands , with no inkling of humanity to her , and find it oh , so repulsive.
she blinked , and felt the pressure of his presence from far away. with it , her mind raced back to the present moment.
byleth found herself tense beneath his touch. frozen in place and in time as her thoughts sputtered and stalled and she tried and failed to comprehend it all. sun had placed his hands on her shoulders , as if to steady her. and in that moment , byleth was reminded again that sun was still kind. he was still gentle. and he was careful with her , when he offered a smile and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. like he had done when he’d gifted her the butterfly pin.
“are you okay?” he asked. struck mute , byleth could only nod her response at first. but with a clearing of her throat and a shift of weight , byleth straightened. it would not do her well to dwell on such gloomy thoughts. she must have faith in him. and she must hold on to that faith tightly , as she had with dimitri , and as her blue lions had held for her in turn.
“let’s go for a walk.” she said when her voice returned to her. she reached out , and threaded her fingers between his before hoisting him to his feet alongside her. “fresh air and exercise is conductive to a sound mind.”
