Parenting

Ship: Sylvain x Felix

Au?: Domestic After War AU

Authors Notes?: Hi, I’m a sucker for SylVix. It’s dumb and they are dumb and I need some wholesome shit in my life okay? They are dumb parents, who have twins they asked Mercedes to bear bc Mercedes is beautiful let's not lie

Parenting was hard. Well, that’s what Felix thought at least. The way children behaved was like a foreign thing to the young man, but hey. Maybe he should have thought about that before him and his husband became fathers. With Mercedes willingly becoming the surrogate of the two children, twins, Sylvain and Felix had their hands full since the day they arrived in the world.

A tired Sylvain woke to the tugging of his covers at such a ridiculous hour. As he was about to complain to Felix about how he hogged the covers, but when he sat up, there stood his darling daughter. His hands crept forwards, cupping his daughter's face with a rather gentle touch. He felt the tears peppering the young girl's face, and his face morphed into a frown. He knew it was a stupid idea to leave his bed, especially when Felix was a worrier, but his daughter worried, so he had to support her like a good father. He left his bed, only to hear the grumble and rusting of bedsheets from Felix, and he soon rose from his slumber due to the soft light flickering from the candle that Sylvain had lit.

“What in the Goddesses name are you doing you da-” “Shh...its okay...papa will help you get back to sleep...”

Felix was stunned to see his husband cradling their young daughter, cooing and humming as he sway too and fro. Was he actually staring at Sylvain? Felix rubbed his eyes before shuffling over the bed, noticing his daughter crying and his fatherly instincts kicked in. He sleepily leant over, pressing kisses to Sylvain’s cheeks and pinned his hair back to get a clearer picture of the Male and the child.

It was clear Sylvain was hiding his worry. His eyes had the dull gleam which Felix knew very well what it meant. He carefully kissed his daughter, running his hands through her rather pale orange hair, and her light blue eyes glazed with her tears. Sylvain continuously wiped the tears away, kissing her nose with a smile and to which the young child giggled with a sort of reluctant smile. Ever since the two had started their serious relationship, they had always wanted a small family. Felix always said on how ‘one child is plenty’ but one turned into two, and it was clear who was like Felix and who was like Sylvain.

Felix had taken over at this point so that Sylvain could go and grab a few things, and yet he seemed so lost without his husband. His parenting skills vanished and he seemed fearful on hurting his daughter.

“Daddy...c-can I sleep with you and papa t-tonight?” The young girl asked, placing her tiny hands upon her fathers face, tracing every scar that Felix had acquired during the war and every other battle. Felix gave a nervous and half asleep grumble as a reluctant response, only for the little girl to make a pouting face with rather large puppy dog eyes.

“W-well..we will have to speak with p-papa then, I’m s-Sorry darling..”

“Oh..I spoke to papa and he said it’s okay!”

“Ah..well..shall we go and get your t-things then?”

Felix let his daughter down, holding her hand as they walked to her bedroom. Since the two were nobles, they had been given a rather stately home upon marriage. The little girl had vast amounts of unused and untouched toys, with her only used toy being her brothers swords and rocking horse. She scrambled into her large bed ,that was practically an adult bed, and she grabbed a comforter blanket and a well loved stuffed toy cat. The cat resembled a mischievous one, a tuxedo wearing a yellow bandana and piercing blue eyes..how odd..it seemed like it would steal its owners heart, and it did so rather well with his daughter loving it so much.

After fetching for her things, the two returned to Sylvain already asleep in bed, snoring rather quietly as he had woken so early. Felix let his daughter squirm in the middle of the bed, and then lay down beside her. His arms wrapped around them both, making sure the young girl was safe. “I do not regret marrying you Sylvain...” Felix whispered to himself, only to hear a feint chuckle from the opposite side to him, with Sylvain responding simply with a, “I love you too.”

After the 5 Yesr Skip:

Sylvain: “Hey Mercedes, is there a god that I can relate to?”

Mercedes: “Yes, indeed there is!”

Sylvain: “really who is it?”

Mercedes: “Hephaestus, the god of metalwork and masonry. He is married to the goddess of love, Aphrodite”

Sylvain: “So I’ll get married to a beautiful lady?”

Mercedes: “no no, he is like you because your looks are but atrocious, that is what makes you two alike!”

(Yes ik the gods are Greek gods but I had a funny joke in my head)
