A little Byleth x Claude fic because I just.. I just love em and I always will. 

“I’ve been thinking about what you said. How you look at the stars and feel small,” Byleth mutters. Harkening back to another late night they’ve shared under the night sky.

“I said that seeing them makes my problems feel small,” Claude corrects her lightheartedly.

“What is a man but a collection of problems,” Byleth deadpans, looking Claude straight in his green eyes full of starlight.

“You know, Teach, if I didn’t know any better that sounded like a joke.” After a full day of deliberate and strategic planning, even a glimmer of humor from Byleth feels like a gift.

The corners of Byleth’s eyes crease merrily, oh so subtly and the corner of her mouth dips downward. Byleth has a smile that starts off looking like a frown, he’s learned.

“It was,” she snarks, “and at your expense too.” The downturned corner of Byleth’s lip curls up and she’s smiling brightly.
