Lyn/Brandon support (C-B-A-S)

SUPPORT C : The Beauty and the Beast

Brandon :  Hey Lyn wanna do some training with me ? Maybe it’ll be more profitable if we do it together. *winks at her and plays with a sword* Lyn : Training with you? Hmm, I don’t see why not. Let me fetch my sword first. Brandon :  Alright. Tell me when you’re ready miss. [fade in // fade out] Brandon : *wipes sweat*  I think we’re good for today. Thanks for accepting to train with me. I hope I wasn’t too rough ..? Lyn : No, not at all. Thank you for inviting me, that was a good training session. Lyn : But I have to say, you’re good in using swords, Brandon. I’m actually quite surprised. Brandon : Oh this ? *looks at his sword* I used to be a mercenary before meeting lord Xander. Looking at your clothes brings a lot of memories. Brandon : I changed classes so many times… I was always craving for learning new skills. Lyn : … I see. I didn’t know that. But what makes you choose to become wyvern rider in the end? Brandon :  Lottie was so cute !! Also her wings was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen ..! She’s deadly fast too. Man, I should take you for a fly, I promise it really worths it ! You’re not afraid of height aren’t you ? Lyn : No, I’m not, but for some reason I’m a bit wary of your suggestion to take me flying… Lyn : Like somehow I got a feeling that you’re going to show off with your flying skills and it’s going to be extremely dangerous… Brandon : Showing off ?! Me ?! Brandon :  I’m extremely modest. The humblest man of the world. I’m also one of the best wyvern riders around so have no fears ! Lyn : Modest and humblest man, huh? *sigh* Forget that I said anything. Lyn : But I suppose I could admit that you’re indeed one of the strongest wyvern riders in the army… Brandon : Awww I am not dreaming ?! You’re giving me compliments ?! Brandon : But indeed I am. I’m also honored you feel that way about me. (hohoho) Brandon : Soooo~ for the wyvern ride ? Still not convinced ? I promise it’ll be magical. Lyn : *sigh* Just give me some time to think about it. I’m still not completely sure… Brandon : It’s okay Lyn I won’t force you. Just come and ask me if you ever change your mind. Lyn : That’s… surprisingly considerate of you Lyn : I suppose it won’t hurt to consider your offer… Lyn : Alright, I’ll let you know when I’m ready. Brandon : *chuckles*  No problem. But just so you know… Brandon :  I will never let a beautiful woman like you get hurt in my presence. Brandon : *puts his sword in the barrel and leaves*  Bye Lyn. See you soon I hope. Lyn : Right… You too, I suppose.

SUPPORT B : Out of your mind

*metallic sounds* Villager : Arghhhhhh… *DUMP* Brandon : Hmm… It looks like I’ve killed the last rebel… Nohrian soldier :  Sir Brandon ! What do we do now ? There are children hiding on a house. Brandon : Huh ? Why are you asking me ? King Garon gave you an order didn’t he ? Nohrian soldier : Yes but… They’re really young. I-I doubt they are linked to rebels. Brandon : Then don’t annoy me with your questions. If you want to rebel against the king’s orders do it out of my sigh… or I’ll cut you in half too. *walks towards the house hiding the children* *The children are scared and hide in the back of the house* Brandon :  My my… That’s true that you’re all really young. Brandon : Since that is the way things are… *takes his axe and walks towards them* Lyn : Wait! Lyn : You can’t be serious. Are you really going to kill those children? Brandon :  Oh… It’s you Lyn. I’ll recognize your voice from thousand. Brandon :  I am serious. Iago is outside and he’ll be checking if the work is done right. Brandon : Morever I doubt a life would worth to be lived in their situation… Lyn : W-what do you mean by that…? Brandon : They saw their parents slaughtered by Nohrian soldiers and their houses burnt to the ground. They lost everything they hold dear. I won’t take the risk of having some new revengeful rebels killing my companions. *Kids are starting to cry* *turns towards them and keeps coming closer to them with a soft smile* Brandon :  …I promise it won’t hurt. *runs towards him and grabs his arm* Lyn : No, stop! Lyn : Please… don’t do this. Lyn : Dear gods, you’re really out of your mind to think that it’s going to be like that Brandon :  …! Brandon :  The one being out of your mind Lyn is you. Do you want to sacrifice yourself for these children ? Lyn : If it means you’re going to spare them, then yes. I don’t care what you think, they don’t deserve this. I’d sooner die than letting them being killed over some absurd way of thinking. Brandon :  … How nice from you. May should I remind you that soldiers must obey without thinking… Then… Good bye Lyn. “ *raises his axe above her head* Brandon :  …………………………… You’re not going to move aren’t you ? Lyn : No. *remains still* Brandon : …………………….. Brandon : ….. *stops smiling and deeply sighs* You’re really annoying you know that ? *suddenly breaks the window* Brandon : I’ll be putting fire at the house after leaving. Wait 3-5 minutes and go out from that window. Iago won’t see you. Understood ? *Kids are nodding but look confused* Brandon : Lyn bring the kids to the nearest village. I’ll create a diversion. *goes out* *Brandon puts the fire to the house and leaves. Lyn could hear some sentences like “I’ll killed them all” “that was the last house” “Nothing to do here now”… * Lyn : *approaches the children* Shh, it’s okay now. We need to get out of here fast. It’s going to be alright, I promise. *takes the children out of the house*

SUPPORT A : Light and shadow

*one week later after getting home they meet at the training room* Brandon :  …….. Hey Lyn. Glad to see you back. I was starting to think that someone saw you and you got executed. Lyn : ……… Lyn : … Why did you do it? Why did you suddenly change your mind…? Brandon :  … Heh. Straight to the point. Can we just forget this instead ?.. Thanks to you I got a new scar on my stomach and I can’t even properly sleep without thinking about these children telling the truth to someone someday… and both of us ending up executed. Lyn : No, tell me. I need to know why. Lyn : You have no whims on killing those children, so killing me shouldn’t be much different either. Lyn : … But then why did you change your mind? Brandon : … You won’t find any good answers. Brandon : Let’s just say… I liked how shiny your eyes were. I can’t say no to  a beautiful woman begging me to save children and putting her life on the the line. Brandon :  We got very lucky you know ? Honestly I didn’t think my plan would work out. Lyn : *deathly glare* Brandon :  Pfffff hahahaha ! Way to turn my on with these beautiful eyes of yours !! I’ll tell you when I’ll know it myself… Okay ? Brandon :  Maybe… And I say maybe… You looked like a mother who wanted to protect her children. Brandon : For some reasons I can’t bear that kind of scene it makes me lost any will but… I’m currently working on it. You better find something else than your pretty shiny eyes next time. *his face darkens* Lyn : … Wait, I don’t understand. You said I looked like a mother who wanted to protect her children… and you can’t stand it…? Lyn : … Why…? Brandon : *waits a little moment before speaking* … My mother abandoned me… So… When I saw you willingly standing for these children I… *realizes he’s talking too much* Tch ! W-What are you doing to me witch ?! *starts to leave* Lyn : W-wait! Don’t go, please! Brandon : ……….. Lyn : … I’m sorry… Brandon : Ah forget about that… Tell me Lyn, are your parents still alive ? Lyn : My parents? Yes, they are… Brandon :  Are you still in good terms with them ? Lyn : … N-no, not really… We… we don’t speak as much nowadays… Brandon :  You don’t ? Lyn : *sigh* It’s a really long and complicated story… They… they didn’t approve when I decided to join the mercenary…I tried to explain that I’m doing this for them, but they… they just don’t understand it, I suppose. We hardly spoke to one another ever since then…But I’m still trying my best to do what’s right, even if they don’t understand it… After all, they’re still my parents… Nothing would really change that. Brandon : … Nothing would change huh ? …I guess you’re right. Well I was glad to be able to talk with you today Lyn. It’s getting late though so I’ll be off now. Good bye, beautiful~. Lyn : So you’re not going to tell me why you suddenly got interested in my parents?… Alright then… Brandon : Hehehe damn I just wanted to change the subject and talk about you ~ why so suspicious my dear Lyn ~  Though I’ll be curious to meet them. I’ll tell them how lucky they have to have a daughter like you. Lyn : … Lucky huh…? *sighs and mumbling to self* “… I honestly doubt that… Brandon :  You still consider them as your parents despite it all, don’t you ? Brandon :  If it’s not the definition of ‘being a family’ I don’t know what it is. Lyn : Yes, I do. I still do… That’s why I’ll just have to work harder…Maybe one day I can finally make them proud of me… Brandon :  I’m crossing fingers for you. You’ll be fine Lyn.

SUPPORT S : Hope

Brandon : So ? How was it ? Do you feel good now ?~ Lyn : Oh yes. Thank you so much for this. At first I thought it’s going to be terrifying, but it was quite fun actually. Brandon : Heh, I told you~ I was sure you’ll enjoy it. Lyn: Well, either way, thank you again for this. I’d love to do it again sometimes *gives a sweet smile* Brandon : All my pleasure … But your hair’s in a total mess though. *laughs and helps her to do her hair * Brandon : It was your first time am I right ? Brandon : I tried to make it as gentle as possible… Brandon : … But I do regret it a bit hohoho~ Lyn: O-oh, thank you for fixing my hair… Lyn: … But what did you mean by you regret it a bit? Brandon : … Well at some point you were all flustered and you started to cling to me haha~ But I don’t mind. I’d love getting more tight hugs from you~ Lyn: *sigh* … you’re really hopeless, you know that? Lyn: Even so… I suppose I do enjoy spending today with you Lyn: And you seem… happy about it too. I must admit it’s quite unusual to see you so happy like that Brandon : H-Huh ? Brandon : I do ?… Hmm. *seems thoughtful* Brandon : … Say Lyn. Brandon : While we were doing that wyvern ride I thought about something… Brandon : Do you think you can help me ? Lyn: Hm? O-of course, certainly Lyn: What can I help you with? Brandon :  Hooo. I like how quick you were to answer~ Brandon : Well you see… I think about that last time you saved the children. That kindness of yours… gave me hope. Brandon : I have little faith in people. I’ve learned to live without it but sometimes… Maybe that loneliness is killing me. Or already killed me inside. I don’t know. Brandon : But the fact is that I do feel good by your side. So… Brandon : …Maybe should I stay with you forever ? *grins* Lyn: !!!?? Lyn: W-wait, hold on for a moment… Lyn:… what do you mean by that exactly…? Brandon : ! Er… *embarrassed* Brandon : I-I guess you can forget what I just said. Sorry, don’t make that face~ *chuckles* It was a joke ! Brandon : ………… Wait no it wasn’t !! Brandon : *sigh* Listen Lyn… I know I probably don’t deserve you but… *takes her hand and softly put her a ring* Brandon : Do you think you could wear it for me ? Lyn: …… Lyn:… are you really sure about this…? Lyn: I-I mean… I’m not pretty like other girls… the one that could catch your attention easily… Lyn: And I… I’m nowhere as interesting as them… All I ever do is training and working myself out every single day… Lyn: Or… was this some kind of joke…? Brandon : *was tensed but suddenly feels relieved* Pfffahahahaha !! Aahhh I see you’re not going to make things easy dear Lovelyn~ Brandon : No big deal. I like that part of you~ Brandon : I love you Lyn. You don’t know how much beautiful you are. Not only outside but also inside. Lyn: …do you really mean that? Lyn: Everything you said… do you truly mean it or was it just to make me feel better? Lyn: I know I’m being ridiculous right now, but… you might regret saying something that you didn’t mean to say… Lyn: *looks away and whispers to herself* …and I don’t want to fill myself with false hope again… Brandon : Lyn. *takes her two hands and brings them closer to his mouth* Brandon : You made me yours. I’ll stick with you until the very end. Just like death itself. Brandon : *chuckles and gives a peck on her hands* Lyn: *sigh* I can’t believe you could still say things like that in times like this Lyn: But if you truly meant what you say, then… Lyn: … Then I will accept this smiles Brandon : Y-you do ?! Brandon : … For real ? Lyn: Hehe, yes, I do. Truth is, I was so happy when you gave it to me but… I got scared… Lyn: But I suppose I shouldn’t worry about it anymore… Now that you gave me your word… and I trust you Brandon : …Thank you Lyn. I really mean it. I never thought you would trust someone like me. Brandon : Now there’s something I’ve been dying to do for so long… Lyn: Hm? What’s that? Brandon : *kisses her and gently bites her lips* Brandon : Done~~ Brandon : *excited* Can I have more ?? Lyn: N-not in here! People are going to see us *gets flustered* Brandon : Honestly it wouldn’t bother me at all. *puts his arms around her* Gotta make them all jealous. Lyn: W-what? W-why would you want to make them jealous, this doesn’t make sense! *blushes harder* Brandon : Because. I gotta show to the world that you are mine. Brandon : *takes her hand and kisses her palm with a devilish look* Mine and only. Aaaaaahhhh finally this support is done !! I love these two so much, especially the fact that they’re so much different and complete each other TwT💕 Lyn is a pure cinammon roll who deserves to be protected to all costs !! Thank you Lovelyn @rlynsss for this awesome support !~
