This is a random thing I made up.
I wonder how our little Bernie handle so many suitors after her heart.
How will her heart handle all the stress and affection that will built up.
Also, this a AU to the game where their no war and everyone is a year back. So they will be 'second years' since I have no idea if they have 'grades' level in their school.
So with that in mind, let start.
PS, I made my Bernadetta the Dancer class and after leveling her up to built her charm up and weapons skills. So I be using my version of Bernadetta built I made for any battle I may do in the future.
Byleth sigh as he had to hold a sniffling Bernadetta, while glaring at the bunch of boys looking guilty as they are the reason why Bernadetta is terrify and hiding behind him and Alois, who for once was giving the kids a disprove stare with no smile like he always have, just to further prove how much trouble they are in.
"Okay. One more time. Who can explain to me why you all were chasing Bernadetta and fighting with each other?" Byleth ask.
"And we want the truth, otherwise, we will leave you with Seteth." Alois added as he cross his arms and stare them down.
As the group of students look between them, Hubert clear his throat.
"I apologize for this. I will explain what happen as best I can." Hubert said calmly as he wasn't looking forward to what to come when he have to tell Bernadetta proactive 'Big Brother' and 'Uncle' about the WHY a fight broke out between them.
It no secret that the Professor and Knight had became some sort of family figures when they learn of Bernadetta family situation and how abusive her father was and how angry they were.
So angry in fact, they straight up went to her house, while beating every guard he had to get in and threaten to kill the man if they heard even a another cry from Bernadetta that he cause.
To say that Bernadetta was now the most spoil girl within the school was a understatement and being light.
So to say that being on these two bad sides isn't something you want.
Defiantly when it come to a certain archer.
"Please do Hubert. I want to know what going on." Byleth said with a cold glare at the young man, making him mentally flinch as he knew if he anger him any further, he can give his chance to have his little flower gone for good.
"We will need to start one hour ago, when we finish training for the day." Hubert started as calmly as he could with the two overpower men staring at him.
(A hour ago)
The Three Houses had just finish a joint training seminar that was basically a game of 'Capture the flag' with their Professor's as the enemy to see how well they improve and to built trust between them to straighten their teamwork.
The teachers had won by a land slide thanks to Byleth and Hanneman magic attacks and Manuela beating the heavy hitters in weapons fights.
Turn out, the teachers felt like they been slacking in their arts despite teaching them all about and did a little training with Byleth, who felt like the teacher life was dulling his senses a little bit.
So they train with each other twice a week beyond their limits and they grew stronger.
Or in these three cases, 'regain' their lost power they let grew dull.
To say the students were shock at the power the older Professor's had and that the fact that Byleth had let himself gotten dull scare them and insipre them to train harder to catch up.
But that another story for another day.
Let get to the a simple questions that started a heated fight.
"Hey Bernadetta! Are would you be willing to spent time with me tomorrow?" Caspar call out to his shy classmate as he rush to her, making everyone turn to the two, with some of the men looking surprise and grit their teeth.
"Eep! W-what did you say!?" Bernadetta ask in surprise as she was scare of the suddenly loud voice and question.
"Sorry about that. I was so nervous to ask you a question that I just rush it without thinking about it. Anyway, I wanted to ask if your willing to go out with me tomorrow?" Caspar said with a slight red cheeks, making Bernadetta blush in shock as she didn't know how to response to this.
Some of the girls jaw drop in shock at the bull invite to the most antisocial girl in the Three Houses. But they would be shock even more for what about to happen.
Cause Hubert suddenly appear behind Bernadetta and pull her to his chest before she could even response.
"I'm sorry Caspar. But I'm afraid she will be busy with ME tomorrow. I wanted to take her a nice little field out of the public eyes to eat with her." Hubert said coldly, making EVERYONE eyes widen in shock and had to do a double take.
"Hey. Back off Hubert. I ask Bernadetta a question. And it seem to me she didn't even knew about your 'schedule' with her." Caspar shot back with a fiery glare to match Hubert frosty glare.
As the two were so focus on each other and refusing to give in, they fail to notice Ferdinand was slowly taking a stun Bernadetta away.
"Come my little rabbit. We will find a quite place to wait out the storm. And maybe we can have some tea as we discuss our little future with each other." Ferdinand said softly.
Raphael and Sylvain stop Ferdinand before he could get away.
"Hold it right there. I usually wouldn't interfere with others flirty, but I'm not letting you take my soon to be bride." Sylvain said coldly.
"Sorry you two. While I'm not a noble like you two, but I know I'm the right one for her." Raphael said with a serious expression.
Bernadetta was so close to fainting as she didn't know what was going and just wanted to go back to her room right now. But she couldn't run as she had so many hands on her and she didn't want to faint in case something happen when she does. It taking every ounce of her will power to stay still and not scream in fear and run off.
"Hmph. I doubt any of you can help and care for her. But I can." Linhardt said as he was fully awake and look serious.
"Heh. That funny coming from the one who always sleep. I can at least protect her in a fight." Felix said with his arms cross as he glare at the green hair mage.
As the guys were fighting, the ones who weren't in this argument were just staring in shock as they didn't know what to make of this.
"W-what am I looking at?" Dorothea ask as she finally found her voice.
"I think we are witnessing a battle for Bernie heart." Leonie said as she was having a hard believing it what she just said.
"I'm more surprise about Hubert fighting for her affection. I wasn't aware he was so interest in Bernadetta. I'm both happy for him and worry for her." Edelgard said as she wasn't sure how to react to this.
"And Felix is actually showing affection for someone that outside of fighting and training. I never seen him like that." Dimitri said as he wasn't sure he should help his Felix or help the poor girl who look close to breaking down in shock and fear as she wasn't sure what to do and being so close to many people at once with tension between them was helping.
"Should we do something about this?" Claude ask with a worry expression.
"Too late." Hilda said with a wince as saw that Caspar threw the first punch to Hubert, who manage to parry the punch, who threw his own punch at the smaller man.
This set everyone off as they starting to fight among themselves for Bernadetta and didn't realize the poor girl was frozen in fear and look close to crying.
"Why are they fighting!?" Flayn ask in horror.
"It because they are desperate and dumb!" Dorothea answer with a wince.
"Explain please." Edelgard ask with a wince as she saw the fight wasn't dangerous, mostly it grapples with punches and kicks, but it still rough to see them all go out.
"They all held very high affection for Bernie, but weren't sure on how to express it since they all have a bit of emotional detachment and can be a bit...cold? Yeah that the right way to put it. They could be a bit cold to people. So they wanted to ask Bernie out,but weren't sure how to do it and was most likely bother by that fact as they sure they would just scare the poor girl off." Dorothea explain as Annette and Lysithea use their magic to pull Bernadetta to them to avoid her getting into the crossfire.
""Okay. Then how did this get out of hand then?" Ingrid ask with a wince as saw that Felix was hit by Raphael and gotten a noise bleed.
She and some of the others wanted to jump in and stop the fight, but they weren't sure if that will make them more violent or not.
"They bottle up their emotions and try to make sense of their feelings. But they were so caught off guard by Caspar suddenly asking Bernie out that they went into a fight or flight mode without really thinking about out of their own affection for Bernie. And since we ARE train to fight, they went to fight without really realize how childish and dangerous this is to them." Dorothea finish as cringe as she saw that Casper knee Raphael in the stomach, making him stumble.
"Oh my goddess. They don't even realize they are fighting friends and only see each other as the 'enemies' aren't they?!" Ignatz ask in horror.
"Yes." Dorothea said with a sigh as she seen something like happen before when she was still with her old friends back at the theater.
It was horrify, and yet very informative of how some guys thinks too.
Bernadetta couldn't take all the stress anymore and started to cry a little as she saw the fight.
At the time, Professor Byleth and Alois were checking on the students as they came back and saw all of this before interfering and making the students stop with some pins down grabs.
(Present time)
Byleth and Alois just stare at the boys with just a shock expression that it started to unnerve everyone.
Defiantly when Byleth is usually wearing a blank expression all of the time and Alois always had a warm and jolly smile on his face.
"...Your all will be in a month detention and will be watch for as long as Bernadetta is here. If you start a fight again and make Bernie cry again, I will personally introduce your faces to the ground." Byleth said with a sigh as he started to walk away with Bernadetta still clung to him in fear.
Alois sigh.
"With that said, I want all those who were throwing punches and kicks to act like young adult's you all are and apologizes to each other." Alois said with a huff as he cross his arms to show how serious he was.
All the guys who in the fight turn to each other with a reluctant expression and and stare at each other.
They grimace as they all stare at the bruises on each other faces and realizes how stupid they acted.
They started to apologizes to each other, some even going as far to shake each other hands as they complement their strengths.
Alois wanted to be mad, but he would be lying if he didn't say he got involve in some fights in his youth. So he couldn't be too mad at them, but they still need a steady hand and lecture to avoid more trouble.
"Good. Now head back to classes and gather your belongings. Class had been over for two hours now and I bet your all tire." Alois said with a light chuckle as he made sure to keep an eye on them as they walk back to their classes and stay in the back as he follow them to make sure no other fight break out again.
'Oh poor Bernadetta. I feel like this will only be harder for you from now on.' Alois thought with a slight grimace.
Later, when nighttime had arrive and everyone was getting ready for bed, the men who were after Bernadetta had only one thought going to through their mind.
'I need to apologize to Bernie/Bernadetta and make sure the others guys don't get her. I love her!'
Bernadetta felt a uneasy chill go up her spine and Byleth sigh in frustration.
And done.
I hope you all enjoy this random idea I just had.
If you got a suggestion on some 'events' that can take place, let me know. I'm very curious about this and I want this to be a bit of a share project between us all.
Anyway, thank you for ready and have a good day/evening/night everyone!
