Title: Much-Needed Downtime
Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Houses
Pairing: Marianne/Caspar/Linhardt
Word count: 1719
Warnings: None
Summary: Marianne wakes up to find that Caspar and Linhardt didnβt sleep a wink. As she goes to round up her sleep-deprived husbands, she is reminded that their mostly endearing quirks sometimes had rather detrimental side-effectsβ¦
Written for Day 5 of @fe3hpolyshipweekk2024, Prompt: Downtime
It was a pleasant morning in the Margraviate of Edmund, and Marianne was roused from sleep by the sounds of birds chirping and the gentle warmth of sunlight on her face. Letting out a long yawn, she stretched out her arms, which proved to me much too easy of a task. She turned her head to one side and then the other to confirm that she was indeed alone in bed, which could only mean one thing: her husbands had stayed up all night,Β again...
Marianne sighed and shook her head before getting out of bed to start her day. Linhardt did tend to stay up later than her and Caspar, but she usually woke up to him still fast asleep, and he wouldnβt wake up for a few hours after his spouses. Caspar, in contrast, was typically the first of the trio to wake up, but he would at least wait until Marianne woke up to get out of bed.
After she had gotten dressed and fixed her hair - while hoping that her husbands werenβt causing trouble in their sleep-deprived states - Marianne left her room with the intent of going over some paperwork in her office. Even though she had the day off, she still liked to get some work done to lighten her load on workdays. However, as soon as she opened the door to her office, one of her maids rushed up to her.
βExcuse me, Margrave Edmund!β the maid - one of the new hires, Eliza - said as she bowed. Marianne brought a hand to her face and stifled a chuckle.
βYou can just call me Marianne, Eliza.β
Eliza gasped and gave her head a hard shake, looking absolutely offended at the very idea. βOh, I could never, maβam! U-Um, anyway, I just wanted to let you know that Master Caspar and Master Linhardt are in the dining room and, ah, they seem to be in the middle of a little squabble...β
βI see...β Marianne let out a sigh and rubbed at her temples. She would have loved to try and break Eliza of that βMargraveβ and βMasterβ habit, but that would have to wait until after she rounded up her grumpy husbands. βThank you. Iβll go see them now.β
Bowing deeply once again, Eliza quickly took her leave, and Marianne redirected her course to the Edmund Estateβs dining room. As she got closer, she heard the muffled, annoyed voices of Caspar and Linhardt snapping back and forth at each other.
β...and another thing - Ow! Not so tight, Linhardt!β
βWill you sit still for once in your life, Caspar?β
βSee? This is exactly what I mean!β
Her husbands bickered on as Marianne entered the room, and they didnβt even notice when she walked up to the table next to them and crossed her arms over her chest. It seemed that Caspar had somehow hurt his arm, and Linhardt was tending to his wound, andΒ notΒ being gentle about it.
βAhem.β Marianne loudly cleared her throat, causing Caspar to yelp and shoot straight up in his chair, and Linhardt to wince as he rubbed at his temples.
βAha, h-hey honey!β Caspar said, standing up and giving Marianne a quick kiss, and it took all of her willpower not to giggle when his beard tickled her face; she was supposed to be upset, after all. She placed her hands on her hips as Linhardt gave her a kiss as well - a bit slower, and he had to pause to yawn first - and she took over tending to Casparβs arm, much to his relief.
βMy dears...What kept you up all night this time?β she asked, and Linhardt averted his gaze, while Caspar hung his head and spoke first:
βEr, well, those knights from Garrag Mach that visited a few days ago taught me some new axe tricks, and uh, I guess I lost track of the time last night practicing...β
When Marianne turned to Linhardt, he let out another long, draw-out yawn, and she knew that he did that on purpose to stall. βI was just - yawn - pouring over the research notes that Professor Hanneman sent me. And they are quite fascinating, you know. I just - yawn - couldnβt put them down for even a moment.β
Linhardtβs eyes narrowed and he let out an irritated huff. βAnd then Caspar came bumbling in with another injury for me to deal with, completely derailing my focus and-β
βHey! I didnβt even ask you to help,β Caspar retorted, his eyes narrowing into a glare as he poked a finger to Linhardtβs chest. βI was gonna deal with it myself, but thenΒ youΒ started lecturing me and wouldnβt let it go!β
βApparently I need to lecture you more, considering you keep getting yourself hurt.β
βWhy you-β
βStop it!β Marianneβs commanding voice cracked between the bickering men like a whip, and their mouths immediately snapped shut. Letting out a tired sigh, Marianne took Caspar and Linhardtβs hands, giving them a gentle squeeze.
βI know you two are only acting like this because youβre sleep deprived, but I hate seeing you being so...mean to each other.β Marianneβs voice was soft, and Caspar and Linhardtβs gazes both fell to the floor, immense guilt very evident in both sets of blue eyes. βPlease, apologize and go get some sleep.β
Caspar let out a sigh and turned to Linhardt as he ran a hand through his hair. βYouβre right, as usual. Lin...Iβm really sorry for snapping at you.β
βIβm sorry too, Caspar.β Linhardt offered up a tired smile, and Caspar beamed in return as they both hugged and kissed it out, and Marianne sighed in relief.
βAnd weβre both sorry for making you worry, Marianne,β her husbands said at the same time, leaning down to give her a kiss on her cheeks. Marianne giggled and wrapped her arms around both of them, basking in the warmth of their embrace.
βI forgive you. Just promise me that you both will get proper sleep from now on.β Marianne took their hands and laced her fingers with theirs. βItβs very lonely to wake up all alone in that large bed, you know.β
βAw hells...We really messed up, hun.β Caspar turned to Linhardt with a pained expression. βMakinβ our Mari sad is just unforgivable!β
Linhardt tapped his chin and stifled yet another yawn. βYou are quite right, my dear...Weβll have to come up with a way to make it up to her, hm?β He moved a hand to Marianneβs neck, and she shivered when he leaned down to place a tender kiss on her forehead.
βHehe, I can think of a few good ways...β Caspar snickered and wrapped his arms around Marianne, lifting her into the air and causing her to dissolve into a fit of giggles.
βAs much as I want that,β Marianne said as Caspar gently set her back on her feet, βit will have to wait until you two have gotten some sleep.β
They relayed their disappointment with a few mumbles and grumbles, but the two men relented and they let their wife lead them to their room. On the way, Linhardt abruptly fell asleep, so Caspar threw him over his shoulder and carried him the rest of the way, with his other hand clasped tightly in Marianneβs.
Once inside their room, Caspar dropped Linhardt onto the bed before tumbling on himself, and Marianne let out a surprised gasp when he didnβt let go of her hand and she fell onto the bed between her husbands.
βCaspar...?β she questioned as Linhardt immediately rolled over in his sleep to hug her arm and lay his head on her chest.
Caspar beamed as he wrapped his arms around both of his spouses and pulled them as close to him as possible. βCβmon, sweetheart! Stay and nap with us, for a little bit at least!β
βBut I just woke up...β Marianne started to protest, but the way Caspar was looking at her with wide, pleading eyes, and the way that Linhardt snuggled closer to her in his sleep made her change her mind quite easily.
Marianne smiled as she let herself relax and settle in between the men that she loved more than anyone else. βOh, alright. It is my day off, after all.β
βAll right!β Caspar cupped her cheek and pulled her face towards him so that he could place a tender kiss on her lips. βI love you, Marianne. Thanks for always putting up with me and Linβs weird quirks all the time.β
βI love you too, Caspar,β Marianne said, giggling when he nuzzled his nose against hers. βQuirks and all, but not when they start negatively affecting yours and Linhardtβs health...β
βYeah...sorry about that again. Both of us will try a lot harder to sleep properly.β
βThatβs all I ask, love.β
Marianne and Caspar shared a fond look, and Marianne looked down when she felt Linhardtβs head shift on her chest, until his lips brushed against her neck, causing a shiver to run down her spine.
βMmm...love you...both...β Linhardt mumbled in his sleep, and the soft smile that crossed his face made Marianneβs heart swell with warmth. Running at hand through his hair, she placed a tender kiss to his lips, while Caspar leaned over to kiss his forehead.
βWe love you too, Linhardt.β
Yawning loudly, Caspar lay his head above Marianneβs and hugged her close, letting his eyes slip shut as sleep finally claimed him. Marianne couldnβt stop smiling as she listened to the soft breathing of her dear husbands, and she felt the luckiest woman in the world to be able to fall asleep next to them every night...and sometimes in the morning too. They could be a handful when they let their quirks get the better of them and when they bickered like only childhood friends could, but Marianne loved them with all of her heart all the same.
Even though she had woken up only a short while ago, Marianne felt her eyelids grow heavy. Being so relaxed and embraced by the warmth of her husbands had her feeling sleepy again, so she let herself drift off as she mumbled words straight from her heart to the two men that she loved more than anyone else in the world:
βI love you Caspar, Linhardt...Always and forever.β

Title: Inaccurate Assumptions
Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Houses
Pairing: Claude/Lorenz/Sylvain
Word count: 3243
Warnings: None
Summary: Claude was no stranger to masking his emotions, but it was especially hard to hide how much it hurt seeing Sylvain and Lorenz being affectionate with one another, as that served as a bitter reminder of how he had missed his chance to be with either of them.
Late one night, Sylvain comes on to Claude, who berates him for even thinking about cheating on Lorenz. Luckily for Claude, he has the completely wrong idea.
Written for Day 4 of @fe3hpolyshipweekk2024, Prompt: Poly Negotiation
It was a quiet night at Garreg Mach, where the worn-out members of the Alliance army were enjoying a brief window of respite from the rigors of war. Many had taken the opportunity to catch up on sleep, but Claude wasnβt one of them.
The only sound in his office was the scratching of his pen against the parchment below it, which was currently a half-written request for more provisions from Derdriu. Claude was quick to finish it and add it to the ever-growing pile of letters, strategic plans, and battle reports that had made a cluttered mess of his desk.
Letting out a groan, Claude propped up his elbows and cradled his head in his hands. He was weary -Β exhaustedΒ even - and it was only getting worse as the war dragged on. Plus, even though he tried his damnedest to hide it, his mood more often than not was rather dour. He would have liked to place all of the blame on the war effort, but that was far from the truth.
In truth, it was matters of theΒ heartΒ that had Claude feeling like a dark cloud had taken residence right over his head. Somehow, he had managed to develop very romantic feelings for not just one, butΒ twoΒ men.
Lorenz and Sylvain - the two men in question - were unlike anyone that Claude had ever met before. Lorenz was wholly dedicated to his lofty position as the future Count Gloucester - sometimes annoyingly so - but Claude had come to realize that he genuinely cared about his people and wanted to do everything that he could to make all of FΓ³dlan a better place. That was something that Claude deeply admired about his former rival, and that admiration was quick to grow into something much more complicated...
As for Sylvain, Claude was drawn to his intelligence, and they had played many games of chess during their academy days. Bouncing strategies off of him always yielded interesting results, and even though Claude was well aware of his...skirt chasing antics, it seemed that Sylvain had left that part of him in the past; Claude wasΒ veryΒ thankful for that. Claudeβs feelings for Lorenz were complicated enough, but adding Sylvain to the mix just made everything even more of a mess.
Leaning back in his chair, Claude folded his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. Alas, it seemed that luck wasnβt in his favor when it came to romance, because as he struggled to figure out how to make his heart decide which one to court, Lorenz and Sylvain had started a relationship withΒ each other. News of that development had spread through the ranks like wildfire, andΒ wayΒ more than one person was shocked that the two bitter rivals in flirting were now a rather loving couple.
Claude had been one of those people, but seeing how affectionate they were with each other - in contrast to their time at the academy that they spent fighting over every little thing - he couldnβt help but think that they were perfect together, leaving Claude to deal with a mix of conflicting emotions.
Sure, he was happy for them; they were his friends, after all. However, he couldnβt quite suppress the pit of longing for the both of them that had settled deep within his heart. Claude wished that he could, because these unrequited feelings that he harbored were proving to be a big distraction from his work.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door, which pulled Claude right out of his broody thoughts. Rubbing his temples, he let out a long sigh, wondering who would want to bother him at this hour. He crossed the room and opened the door, his eyes going wide and his cheeks flushing with heat.
βHey, Claude,β Sylvain said with a too-sweet smile on his face as he leaned an arm against the door frame. βEnjoying your evening?β
Claudeβs guard immediately went up and he narrowed his eyes. It was apparent that something was off about Sylvain - with the way that his intense gaze seemed to bore right into Claudeβs very soul - and he remained wary as he stepped aside to let Sylvain step into the room.
βIf going through seemingly-endless stacks of paperwork sounds fun to you, then yes, itβs beenΒ great,β Claude said, and his heart fluttered, in spite of his unease, when Sylvain laughed.
βHonestly? That sounds like hell.β
Claude shrugged as he closed the door behind him, and when he turned around to respond, the words caught in his throat when he found Sylvain standingΒ veryΒ close to him. Close enough, in fact, that when he tilted his head up to look right into Sylvainβs pretty brown eyes, their noses almost brushed and Claude could feel his breath on his face.
βHmm,β Sylvain hummed, his tongue poking out between his lips as he slipped his fingers under Claudeβs chin. βThough, I can think of a few ways toΒ spiceΒ up your night...β
Claudeβs heartbeat was roaring in his ears, and it was beating so fast he thought it might burst right out of his chest. This...this had to be a dream. Claude had fallen asleep at his desk, and was just having a dream fueled by that damned pit of loneliness that permeated his entire being. That had to be it, because otherwise...
Sylvain was trying toΒ cheat on Lorenz.
Anger bubbled up swiftly within Claude, engulfing any and all other emotions. His face scrunched up in disgust as he took a step back from Sylvain; apparently he had beenΒ veryΒ wrong about Sylvain abandoning his flippant attitude towards relationships. Claude knew how much Lorenz cared for him - hell, he probablyΒ lovedΒ Sylvain at this point - and he sure as fuck wasnβt going to let Sylvain get away with trying to cheat on him.
βIf you want to fool around behind Lorenzβs back, leave me out of it. The fact that you're even doing so in the first place pisses me right off,β Claude snapped, his eyes narrowing into a glare when Sylvain burst out laughing.
Claudeβs rage boiled over as he stepped forward to grab Sylvain by the collar. βYou know he really cares about you, right? Are his feelings just some kind ofΒ joke?β Sylvain did not resist, instead focusing on containing his laughter. When he had succeeded, he cleared his throat and shook his head.
βNo, no. Youβve got it all wrong, Mister Leader Man,β Sylvain said, a sly smirk crossing his face. βIβd never do that to Lorenz. I...actually really care about him too. Probably more than he knows.β Claude blinked slowly as he released his hold on Sylvain, and his brow furrowed with confusion when a light blush rose on Sylvainβs cheeks.
βThen...whatΒ areΒ you talking about?β
Sylvain swallowed thickly before taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. βWell, Lorenz and I...we were hoping that you might want to, ah...be with us.Β BothΒ of us.β
β...Excuse me?β
βWe want you in on this relationship, Claude.β
Ah, so ClaudeΒ wasnβtΒ having sleep-deprived hallucinations and in factΒ didΒ hear him correctly. His eyes shifted to one side as he cleared his throat, his cheeks burning hot. This...was not what he expected at all from Sylvain, but he was incredibly relieved that his initial assumption about his intentions was very, very wrong.
βWell...first things first.β Claude rubbed at the back of his neck and forced his eyes forward to meet Sylvainβs gaze. βIβm sorry for accusing you of trying to cheat on Lorenz, Sylvain.β
A nervous laugh escaped Sylvain and he shrugged. βItβs alright. I...did have a reputation back in our academy days, after all.β
βThatβs an understatement.β
Claude smiled when Sylvain laughed earnestly this time, but that smile was quick to fall from his face. Sylvain raised an eyebrow at him, and Claude let out a sigh as he ran a hand through his hair.
βAre you sure that I wouldnβt just be...intruding on your relationship, and that Lorenz actually wants me?β Claude asked, hesitation evident in his tone.
Sylvain barked out a laugh and reached out to take Claudeβs hand. βOh,Β absolutelyΒ not, for one. We both really care about you, Claude. It was pretty hard not to fall for someone as strong, compassionate, determined, stupidly smart...andΒ reallyΒ sexy.β
Claude felt his cheek start to burn, and he chuckled as he curled his hand around Sylvainβs. βLaying it on a bit thick, arenβt you?β
βOhΒ please.β Sylvain rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. βYou havenβt heard Lorenz talk about you yet. If it were him here, heβdΒ stillΒ be going on and on about all the things he loves about you. Hell, Iβd probably be a jealous mess about it if I wasnβt into you too.β
βReally?β
Sylvain winked and tugged on Claudeβs hand, causing him to gasp as he was pulled flush against him. βYep. In fact, I told Lorenz it would have been better if both of us came to ask you to be with us, but for some dumbass reason, heβs convinced thatΒ youβdΒ never be attracted toΒ him.β
Claude blinked at Sylvain, his eyes going wide. βWait,Β really?β
He nodded, before letting out a huff and shaking his head. βAnd thatβs bullshit, obviously. I mean, how many men do you see with an attractive face, gorgeous eyes, a sexy body,Β andΒ beautiful hair? Heβs really one of a kind.β
Claude nodded slowly, still not quite believing this was actually happening. While the gears turned within his head, he hadnβt noticed that his face had scrunched up considerably, but Sylvain had.
βYour face is gonna get stuck like that if you keep it up, Claude,β he said, and Claudeβs breath hitched when Sylvainβs face appeared inches from his own. He stared deep into Claudeβs eyes with an uncharacteristically serious look on his face. When he spoke again, his lips cameΒ dangerouslyΒ close to grazing Claudeβs, causing sweat to bead on the back of the latterβs neck:
βWhat are you afraid of?β His voice was soft, and Claude gulped when Sylvainβs hand moved to cup his cheek.
When he finally managed to speak, Claudeβs voice was quiet, unsure. β...That this is all just a really,Β reallyΒ good dream.β
Sylvain chuckled softly, and his free hand moved to settle upon Claudeβs waist. βI can prove to you that itβs not.β
Before Claude could respond, Sylvain closed the minuscule space between them and pressed their lips together in a tender kiss. Claudeβs heart leapt into his throat, and his eyes were wide when Sylvain tilted his head to deepen the kiss. Warmth flooded through every inch of Claudeβs body, and he felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of his chest. This feeling was...incredible.
Smiling against Sylvainβs lips, Claude let his eyes slip shut as he wrapped his arms around him, pulling him even closer. He let himself get lost in the feeling of kissing one of the objects of his affection, and just when he thought he would drown in the bliss, Sylvain broke the kiss, allowing them both to catch their breath.
βSo...β Sylvain said, grinning as he brushed the back of his fingers over Claudeβs cheek. βStill having doubts?β
Claude frowned as the gentle warmth within him was swiftly replaced by a frigid unease. βWell, not about you. Lorenz, though...β
Sylvain rolled his eyes, before taking Claudeβs hand and tugging him out the door. βWell, letβs go tell him the good news, then youβll see that youβre worried for nothing!β He barked out a laugh as he threw his arm over Claudeβs shoulder. βHeh, heβs gonna beΒ soΒ pissed that I got to kiss you first!β
Claudeβs laughter joined Sylvainβs, adding some mirthful noise to the quiet night. He would like to take Sylvainβs word for it, but Lorenz had always butted heads with Claude over every little thing...but then Claude remembered how badly he used to get along with Sylvain, and that was enough to light a spark of hope within him.
When they reached Sylvain and Lorenzβs room, Sylvain opened the door, and Claude was not surprised to see that Lorenz was in the middle of getting a table set up for teatime.
βSylvain, my dear, is that you? Oh good, Iβm about to start brewing the tea-β
When Claude stepped into the room after Sylvain and Lorenz turned around, he let out a shriek, his arms shooting straight up into the air and sending the bag of tea leaves that he had been holding flying across the room (Claude was grateful that it hadnβt been opened yet).
βC-C-Claude?!?β Lorenzβs eyes were wide with shock, and his pale face had flushed a cute shade of pink; Claude couldnβt help but think that he lookedΒ incrediblyΒ endearing in this flustered state.
βAhem, I-I mean...β Bringing a hand to his face, Lorenz cleared his throat before straightening his posture and turning his narrowed eyes to look at Sylvain as he aimed his question at Claude: βWhat are you doing here...at this time of night?β
Sylvain spoke up before Claude had a chance to answer: βBabe, I talked to Claude about joining our relationship-β
βYouΒ what???Β β Lorenzβs face went white as a sheet and he covered it with his hands. βIΒ toldΒ you that was a bad idea, and now youβve brought him here to reject me to my face? Of all the horrible, embarrassing,Β degradingΒ things to-β
Sylvain rolled his eyes hard; Claude was shocked that they didnβt pop right out of his head. βOh cool it already, you dramatic bastard.β
Lorenz gasped, looking offended, and crossed his arms over his chest as he turned up his nose. βUgh, how incredibly uncouth, Sylvain!β
βYeah, yeah, just listen, will you-β
βWhy? So I can hear you say how foolish my feelings are...for someone that I am completely and utterly unworthy of?β Lorenzβs breathtaking amethyst eyes took on a watery sheen, and Claude didnβt want to listen to him degrade himself any longer. He took a few steps forward and reached out to take Lorenzβs hand, who let out a gasp and snapped his head up to look Claude in the eye.
βCan I say something, Lorenz?β Claude asked softly, giving Lorenzβs trembling hand a squeeze.
βI-I suppose so, but-β
Claude cut Lorenz off by cupping his face and pressing their lips together in a tender kiss. Lorenz made a strangled noise in the back of his throat, his eyes wide as saucers, and Claude managed to hold back a laugh when Lorenzβs eyes slipped shut and he smiled against Claudeβs lips. Kissing Lorenz was a bit more restrained experience than kissing Sylvain, but it was soft and tender and just asΒ fucking incredibleΒ as kissing Sylvain for the first time had been.
When they parted, Claude couldnβt help but laugh at the absolutely flabbergasted look on Lorenzβs face. His jaw was hanging open while he blinked slowly, and his face had flushed an even darker red than Sylvainβs hair.
βT-That wasnβt...β Lorenz managed to squeak out after a few moments of stunned silence, β...sayingΒ something.β
Claude snorted to suppress his laughter, and Sylvain smiled as he walked over to them and placed his hands on each of their shoulders.
βOh, but I think it saysΒ everything, babe,β he said, leaning over to place a kiss on Lorenzβs cheek. βSo are you gonna cut that self-deprecating bullshit out now?β
Lorenzβs gaze fell to the floor for a moment, and when he looked back up at the two other men, Claude had to avert his gaze this time, for he was afraid that heβd go blind staring at the breathtakingly-bright smile that Lorenz had on his face.
βYes, apologies to you both. Iβm just...you really want to be with us, Claude?β Lorenz asked, his voice dropping to a whisper as he gazed at him with hopeful eyes. Sylvain was also looking at him expectantly, and Claude chuckled, shaking his head as he ran a hand through his hair.
βYou know...when Sylvain came to my office, I thought I fell asleep at my desk...β Claude said, reaching out to take Sylvain and Lorenzβs hands, βbecause Iβve been dreaming about being with either one of you for a long time now. Getting to be withΒ bothΒ of you, though...thatβs even better than myΒ wildestΒ dreams.β
Lorenz sucked in a sharp breath, but his face fell when Sylvain burst out laughing. Pursing his lips, Lorenz shook his head and sighed.
βAnd justΒ whatΒ are you laughing at, Sylvain? This is a serious moment, you know.β
Sylvain managed to compose himself, and he wiped at his eyes before pulling both men into a tight hug. βYeah, yeah, I know. I just didnβt think Iβd ever hear something that cheesy come out of anyoneβs mouth but yours, Lorenz.β
βUgh,β Lorenz groaned and rolled his eyes, before placing a reluctant kiss onto Sylvainβs cheek. βYou are insufferable, darling.β
βHeh, right back at ya, babe.β
Lorenz still looked a bit miffed, but when Sylvain pressed his lips against his, Lorenzβs annoyance seemed to melt away in an instant. Claude watched them kiss with an overwhelming amount of fondness; Gods, he was aΒ damnΒ lucky man.
βClaude...my dear,β Lorenz said when they had parted, and a warm, giddy feeling spread throughout Claudeβs chest at the term of endearment. βWould you...like to join us for tea? We can further discuss our relationship, if you would like.β
Nodding, Claude leaned over to place a kiss on Lorenzβs cheek, coaxing a cute βoh!β out of him. βYeah, Iβd like that a lot,Β hun.β Lorenz averted his gaze, and the shy smile that crossed his face almost made Claude swoon.
When Lorenz managed to look back at him, Claudeβs heart leapt into his throat when he took his hand. βI am...very happy that youβre here, darling,β Lorenz said, lifting Claudeβs hand to his face and placing a soft kiss to the back of it.
βWow...β Claude breathed, his heartbeat roaring within his ears as Sylvain laughed.
βYou better get used to that, babe,β he said, leaning over to give Claude a light peck on the lips. βLorenzΒ lovesΒ giving hand kisses.β
βIβll keep that in mind...sweetheartΒ .β
Claude greatly enjoyed the way that Sylvainβs face flushed a bright red, and he let out a low whistle and shot Claude a wink as they both started to help Lorenz prepare teatime for three.
βMan, youβre lucky that Lorenz loves his tea so much, or Iβd suggest skipping it all together and getting to the real exciting part of a new relationship, the fuc-β
βSylvain! Do not be crude during teatime,β Lorenz hissed, delivering a light swat to his arm, earning a pout in return. βPatience is a virtue, after all. We will certainly get there. The night is stillΒ soΒ young.β The mischievous grin that crossed Lorenzβs face was certainly something that Claude had never seen before, and he was suddenlyΒ veryΒ interested in getting through this tea time as quickly as possible.
βHeh, canβt wait, babe!β
Claude echoed Sylvainβs sentiment, if the heat building up within his gut was anything to go by, and when the tea was finally poured after what seemed likeΒ ages, he caused quite the scene when he managed to burn his tongue trying to drain his cup in one go...

Title: A Swiftly-Growing Family
Fandom: Fire Emblem Three Houses
Pairing: Claude/Lorenz/Sylvain
Word count: 3272
Warnings: None
Summary: Itβs an ordinary day at the Gloucester Estate, where Claude, Sylvain, and Lorenz are spending quality time with their three children. However, when the clutch of eggs belonging to Claudeβs wyvern starts to hatch, the day turns into one that the entire family would never forget.
Written for Day 3 of @fe3hpolyshipweekk2024, Prompt: Family
It was a perfect, sunny summer day at the Gloucester Estate, and Claude, Lorenz, and Sylvain were looking forward to spending a nice day outdoors with their three children.
βOooh, Papa! Can I brush her now?β
βYou sure can, Del. Up you go!β
Sylvain laughed as he hoisted Delilah - one of their triplets - into the air so that she could reach the horse's mane and give it a good brushing. Her face was scrunched up as she focused completely on her task, and Sylvain glanced over at Lorenz, who was receiving help filling up the water trough from the second triplet, Lilianna.
Lorenz quickly moved his hand to Liliannaβs back to steady her as she stumbled a bit under the weight of the small water bucket she carried. βLiliana, my dear, are you sure that isnβt too heavy for you?β
βNo, I got it!β she said, pursing her lips as she gave her head a firm shake. βI wanna be just like you, Father, so I gotta get stronger and stronger!β
Sylvain smiled when he saw Lorenzβs eyes grow watery, and he winked when their eyes met and Lorenz smiled back at him.
βPapa! Father! Look what I caught!β
The third triplet, Zinnia, popped right out of a pile of hay and placed a hand on her hip, thrusting out her arm and showing off the large snake that she held.
βOh gods above...β Lorenzβs face paled, and Lilianna let out a shriek and hid behind his legs. Delilah gasped and wiggled out of Sylvainβs arms before rushing over to her sister and bouncing on her toes.
βWow, cool snake Zin!β she gushed, leaning in close to get a good look at it.
Zinnia beamed and they both took turns holding the snake. Sylvain sighed, shaking his head as he crouched down next to both girls and placed a hand on their shoulders.
βZinnia, youβve gotta be more careful around wild animals,β he said, holding out his hand until Zinnia reluctantly handed her catch over. βLuckily, this snake is the harmless kind, but there are some around here that can really hurt people.β
βOhhhh...β Zinnia said, humming as she rubbed at her chin. βBut Papa, how do I know which ones are the bad ones?β
βItβs usually the color of the scales-β
Sylvainβs lecture about snake scale color in relation to their danger level was interrupted when Claude suddenly burst into the barn, sweating and out of breath.
βHey everyone, Barbieβs eggs are hatching!β
They all let out a collective gasp, and the three triplets were quick to chase after Claude as he ran back outside. Beyond the stables in the opposite direction of the estate, sat another large building, of which the only occupant was Claudeβs wyvern, Barbie.
Once inside, the triplets let out a gasp at the sight. Barbie was curled around her nest, with her large head looking down on her three trembling eggs from above. Slowly, each egg spider cracked further and further, until they fell over one by one and split completely open. The newborn wyverns were freed from their confines, and were now squeaking loudly as Barbie started licking them clean.
βOh my gods! Theyβre so cute!!!β Delilah, Zinnia, and Lilianna squealed in unison, and they started sprinting towards the newly-hatched wyverns without a second thought.
βWoah! Hold up!β Claude quickly placed himself in front of his three charging daughters and threw his arms out, blocking their advance. Delilah managed to skid to a halt, but Liliana and Zinnia couldnβt stop in time, so they ended up plowing into her back and all three tumbled to the ground in a heap.
βOuch! You guys!β Delilah pouted as she glared at her sisters before getting back to her feet and brushing the dirt from her dress. Liliana giggled as she got up as well, and she helped Zinnia to her feet.
βSorry, Del!β
βYeah, sorry...β
Claude chuckled and crouched down next to the trio as Lorenz and Sylvain finally caught up to them. βYouβve gotta be careful around a new wyvern mom, girls. Barbieβs harmless to you normally, but right now sheβs very protective of her babies. She might think youβre a threat and accidentally hurt you if you get too close.β
Β The three girls let out a long βohhhhβ at the same time, and they proceeded to plop themselves on the ground, their eyes glued to Barbie and her hatchlings.
βWe got it, Daddy!β Delilah said, smiling as she placed her hands on her knees. βWeβll watch over them until Barbieβs ready.β
Zinnia nodded in agreement with a comically serious look on her face, and she crossed her arms over her chest. βYeah, nothing will hurt them with us watching out for them!β
βWeβll stay out all night long if we have to!β Liliana chimed in, and Sylvain snickered as Lorenz let out a tired sigh.
βIβm sure it wonβt take that long, right Claude?β Lorenz said, casting a sidelong glance at his husband, who shrugged.
βHmm, canβt say. She can be a bit finicky sometimes-Oh?β
Claudeβs eyes went wide, and everyone turned their attention to Barbie, who was staring at her rider with her striking golden eyes. When she let out a few low growls, a smile slowly spread across his face, and he stood back up.
βWait,β Claude said, when the triplets predictably shot to their feet; they were practically trembling with excitement. βShe wants me to go first.β
βAwww...β Delilah groaned, while Liliana pouted and Zinnia let out a deep sigh as she placed her hands on her hips.
βMama Barbie is so picky...β Zinnia grumbled, and Claude laughed and ruffled her hair.
βShe can be as picky as she wants, as a new mama and a giant flying lizard with sharp teeth and claws. Stay with your father and papa until I say so.β
Claude turned and started walking slowly towards Barbie. His daughters had been raised around her, sure, but a brand new mother wyvern was something that they hadnβt encountered yet, and he didnβt want them getting hurt.
When Claude was a few steps away from the massive white wyvern, he tilted his head at her, and only advanced to her side when she nodded. He ran his hand over Barbieβs head and scratched between her antlers, coaxing a rumbling hum of approval out of her.
βGood job, mama. Youβve got some cute and healthy looking hatchlings here,β Claude cooed, and Barbie nuzzled her face against his. His eyes went wide when loud chirping erupted around his feet, and he laughed when he looked down to see said hatchlings gazing up at him with wide, curious eyes.
βHeh, you three sure are adorable!β Claude said as he knelt down, giving each wyvern a scratch on the head. Two of them had scales in the common dark brown color, but one of them took after their mother, with scales shining as white as snow.
As Claude continued to mingle with the hatchlings under Barbieβs watchful eye, Lorenz smiled and rubbed at his chin. βClaude truly does have a way with wyverns. I donβt think Iβve seen anyone else get close to newborn hatchlings so quickly before.β
βWell, they do belong to his wyvern, you know,β Sylvain said, pausing to loop a finger through one strap of Zinniaβs overalls to sabotage her attempt to sneak off. βThat, and heβs from Almyra. Wyvernβs are a pretty big deal over there, so heβs probably been around them ever since he was born.β
βThat is a valid point.β
βCβmon, Papa! Lemme go!β Zinnia whined, struggling to knock Sylvainβs hand off of her. Shaking his head, Sylvain placed his other hand on her head and ruffled her hair.
βNo can do. Youβve gotta play by the rules for this one,β he said in a serious tone. βLike your dad said, you could get hurt if you rush things.β
Zinnia pouted, before letting out a dramatic sigh and slumping forward in defeat. Lorenz chuckled at the spectacle, and he glanced down at Lilianna, who was currently clinging to his leg.
βLilianna, my dear, are you scared?β Lorenz asked, and she slowly nodded her head and buried her face against his leg. βItβs quite alright, you are perfectly safe.β
βYeah, Lili!β Delilah beamed and took her sisterβs hand, giving it a squeeze. βDonβt be scared! Barbieβs just being a good mommy wyvern. Sheβll let us come play when sheβs ready, okay?β
Sniffing as she rubbed at her eyes, Liliannaβs frown slowly morphed into a smile and she nodded. βO-Okay. Thanks a lot, Del.β
βHehe, no problem!β
Lorenz watched them fondly, and he turned when he saw Claude stand up again. The three girls snapped to attention and watched him with wide, pleading eyes, while Sylvain and Lorenz shared an amused smile. They preemptively reached down to take one of Liliannaβs and Delilahβs hands respectively, while they each took one of Zinniaβs (she was the most likely to try and take off the first chance she got).
βAlright, Barbieβs giving you guys the okay, but!β Claude said, chuckling when the girls tried moving but were stopped in their tracks by Lorenz and Sylvain. βYou need to move slowly, and keep your voices down. Got it?β
βGot it!β the triplets yelled together. Claude raised an eyebrow at them, and the three shared a sheepish glance.
βOops...Got it...β They managed to whisper it this time, and Claude brought a hand to his face to stifle a laugh before waving them over. The three girls moved slowly, but they were practically trembling with pent-up excitement, and Claude was glad that he had Sylvain and Lorenz here to help keep them reigned in.
When they reached Barbie, she leaned her head down to shield the hatchlings from the girlsβ view. Zinnia pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.
βAww, cβmon Barbie! We did what you asked!β she whined, and Lilianna frowned next to her. Delilah snickered and wrapped her arms around Barbieβs head, giving her a big hug.
βYou guys are silly! Barbie wants us to hug her first, right Barbie?β Delilah said, and Barbie let out a low growl before poking her tongue out and licking Delilahβs cheek, causing her to burst into a fit of giggles.
Zinnia and Lilianna gasped and shared a horrified glance. βOh no! We messed up!β They both flanked Barbieβs head and gave her a hug at the same time. βWeβre so sorry, Mama Barbie!β
A low rumbling noise filled the air that Claude knew was a wyvernβs noise of amusement, and Barbie licked Zinnia and Liliannaβs cheeks one after the other.
βHehe, thanks Barbie!β
βYeah, thanks!β
Barbie nodded and lay down, her body curling around her hatchlings and the triplets. The newborn wyverns squeaked, tilting their heads curiously, and Zinnia was the first to scooch closer to the bigger of the two brown-scaled hatchlings.
βHello, baby! Iβm Zinnia, nice to meet ya!β she said, leaning down so that she was eye-level with him. He blinked at her a few times, before sticking out his tiny tongue and giving the tip of her nose a lick.
Zinnia leaned back and laughed. βThat tickles!β she said, and the wyvern trilled as he stumbled forward, falling into Zinniaβs lap and proceeding to chew on one of her overall straps.
Lilianna and Delilah watched their sister with great interest, until the latter worked up her courage and turned to the white hatchling, who was slowly crawling her way towards her.
βHi, little wyvern!β Delilah giggled when the wyvern licked at her fingers when she held out her hand. She cooed happily when Delilah gently scratched under her chin, and tears suddenly welled up in Delilahβs eyes and she started to softly cry.
βOh dear...β Lorenz quickly rushed to her side and knelt down next to her. βAre you alright, Delilah? What has made you so upset?β
βS-Sheβs just...so-so cute , F-Father...β Delilah cried, and she only cried harder when the little wyvern squeaked before crawling into her lap and licking the tears from her cheeks. Lorenz chuckled softly and gently rubbed her back, looking up when he saw Lilianna slowly inching her way towards the last - and smallest - of the hatchlings.
βU-Um, hello...β she said as she reached a shaky hand out towards her. The hatchling watched her carefully, before letting out a squeak and retreating to hide under Barbieβs wing.
βEeep!β Lilianna shrieked, rushing over to Claude and hiding behind his leg. Chuckling, Claude took her hand and gave it a squeeze.
βItβs alright, Lili. Sheβs a lot more scared of you than you are of her, you know.β Claude looked at Barbie, who was nudging the scared hatchling until she was out from under her wing again. βJust be patient and gentle, and sheβll warm up to you. I promise.β
βO-Okay, Daddy...β Lilianna took a deep breath and puffed out her cheeks before trying again. This time, she took a few extra slow steps towards the hatchling, who watched her curiously. With another gentle nudge from Barbie, the hatchling managed to take a few steps of her own. It was slow going, but eventually the two closed the distance between each other, and Lilianna slowly reached a shaky hand out.
βI-Itβs okay, donβt be scared...β she said softly, and the wyvernβs eyes were locked onto her hand, and she slowly extended her neck and allowed Liliannaβs hand to rest upon her head. Lilianna let out a gasp, and she turned to Claude and beamed.
βI did it! I pet her!β
Claude gave her a pat on the head and stood back, and the pride that swelled within his chest as he looked between his daughters and the hatchlings was almost suffocating. βGreat job, kiddos! Youβre doing great!β
βThanks, Daddy!β the trio said in unison, and Claudeβs face lit up as he snapped his fingers. He leaned over to Barbie and whispered something to her, and she let out a few growls in return that seemed to make Claude happy.
βZinnia, Lilianna, Delilah,β he said, and all three girls turned their attention to him with their wyverns tucked in their laps; they also were gazing at Claude with great interest. βWould you like to give them names?β
βClaude, you-β Lorenz started to protest, but he was cut off when Sylvain elbowed him hard in the side. Claude ignored their bickering behind him, and their daughters let out a collective gasp and clapped their hands.
βYes!β they said, and Claude laughed as comically serious looks crossed their faces at the same time. Zinnia held up her wyvern, who squeaked and licked at her face some more. After she had managed to stop giggling, Zinnia let out a triumphant βah-ha!β and looked at Claude.
βHis name is...Porkchop!β
Sylvain snorted to keep himself from laughing, and Lorenz pulled a face. βPorkchop?β the latter asked. βAre you sure, my dear?β
βYes!β
βWhy Porkchop?β Sylvain inquired this time, and she rolled her eyes.
βBecause thatβs his name!β
Claude threw his arms around Sylvain and Lorenzβs shoulders and winked. βYeah, keep up, you two.β Sylvain playfully smacked his chest, while Lorenz let out a sigh and leaned his head against him.
βWhat about you, Lili?β Zinnia asked. Lilianna hummed as she cradled her wyvern in her arms; she had dozed off and was squeaking in her sleep.
βUm, well...β A shy smile crossed Liliannaβs face as she gazed down at her wyvern fondly. βI really like flowers, and my favoriteβs are Lilacs. So, I wanna name her Lilac.β
βA beautiful choice, my dear,β Lorenz said, and Sylvain snickered at the very obvious remark, earning an annoyed pout from his husband.
βMy turn!β Delilah shouted, hugging her white wyvern snugly to her chest. She hummed and wiggled a bit, settling her head in the crook of Delilahβs neck and causing her to giggle. βThat tickles!β
Zinnia puffed out her cheeks. βUgh, cβmon Del, donβt keep us waiting!β
βYeah! Tell us! Tell us!β Lilianna chimed in, and Delilah giggled shyly and stared down at the wyvern.
βWell, her eyes are so pretty, like when the sun goes down. I wanna call her...Sunset.β
βOooh, pretty!β
βI love it!β
Delilah beamed when her sisters voiced their approval, and they three proceeded to play with the newly-named wyverns, until all six were sleeping soundly, with Barbie curled protectively around all of them.
βWhew, that was exciting!β Claude said, sighing as he leaned against Barbieβs opposite side, nestled in between Sylvain and Lorenz. Sylvain nodded in agreement, and he rolled his eyes when he noticed the uneasy look on Lorenzβs face.
βYour faceβll get stuck like that, babe,β he said, giving Lorenzβs forehead a flick with his finger. Lorenz let out a yelp and glared at Sylvain as he rubbed at the offended skin.
βDonβt do that.β Lorenz pouted at him when Sylvain snickered, and he sighed and turned to Claude. βClaude, darling, are you sure this is a good idea? The girls are still very young...β
Claude smiled and leaned over to place a chaste kiss upon Lorenzβs lips, which seemed to calm his nerves a bit. βI promise, hun. And itβs actually better to introduce wyverns and their riders as early as-β
βOh gods no,β Lorenz groaned, his brows furrowing. βYouβre not really thinking of training them to be wyvern riders, are you?β
Claude shrugged, and Sylvain reached over to take Lorenzβs hand, giving it a squeeze. βWell, itβs too soon to say right now, but Iβd like the girls to be able to decide for themselves when theyβre a lot older.β
βAnd even if they donβt become riders,β Sylvain chimed in, βwyvernβs still make pretty badass, loyal guardians, right?β Lorenz let out a tired sigh, but he eventually smiled and wrapped his arms around both of his husbands.
βI suppose you both are right. Iβm just worried. Wyverns can be very dangerous, after all...β
βOh, I know that more than most,β Claude said, taking one of Lorenzβs hands and placing a kiss to the back of it. βAnd thatβs why all three of them will get the best and most thorough training that I can give them. I promise you that, Lorenz.β
Sylvain winked and kissed Lorenzβs cheek. βHeh, considering that Claude is the best wyvern trainer in all of FΓ³dlan, I think our kiddos will do just fine, babe.β
Lorenz looked between his husbands, and a soft smile slowly spread over his face. βThat does make me feel better about it. Just donβt overdo it Claude, please. Our girls are our most precious treasures.β
βThey are.β Claude stole a glance over Barbieβs shoulder, smiling at the cuddle pile that was their daughters and their wyverns.
βThey really are,β Sylvain added, pausing to kiss both of his husbands. βI love you two so much. Iβm...really happy that I get to raise such an awesome family with the men that I love the most.β
βI...feel the same way.β Lorenz cleared his throat, his eyes taking on a watery sheen. βFatherhood has been the most rewarding experience, and there is no one else that I would rather experience it with.β
Claudeβs heart felt like it could burst with the amount of love that he held for his husbands, and he slipped his arms behind their backs and tugged them flush against him. βSame here. I love you both, with all that I am. Letβs keep up the good work, dads.β
Lorenz and Sylvain agreed wholeheartedly, and they continued to cuddle and talk quietly among themselves as their children - human and otherwise - slept soundly, protected by their three dads, and one fiercely protective wyvern mama.
