Chapter Text
Byleth, having finished reading through the letter, begins slowly lowering the letter away from her face. Felix, meanwhile, looks on with horror to find Byleth staring at him blankly before suddenly giving him a big cheeky smile.
"Well... yah got any ideas for the name yet?" Byleth asks bluntly.
"name...?" Felix mumbles while still trying to get a grasp on his current situation.
"For the kid." Byleth replies jokingly.
"I literally... just got the DAMN LETTER!" Felix annoyedly shouts while jumping forward to try and retrieve the letter from Byleth's hand.
Byleth, having expected Felix's reaction, simply steps backwards slightly to avoid Felix before returning to her jokey demeanor.
"Well in that case, I think I should go back to my office and think up some name ideas for you." Byleth states excitedly.
"Like hell your going back to class with that letter." Felix retorts while jumping towards the stairway in order to block Byleth's escape.
"Oh sure, have the letter back. I already finished it." Byleth bluntly replies before throwing the letter back into Felix's grasp.
"Your mocking me." Felix shouts annoyedly.
"Pchhhh, you think I'm mocking you now? Just wait tell tomorrow, when I assign the entire class the group project of coming up with the perfect baby name." Byleth taunts.
"You so much as open your mouth to anyone and that classroom burns to the ground." Felix threatens.
"Your so scary Felix. It's just a little prank. What's it really matter if your classmates know? They'll find out eventually." Byleth retorts.
"By the time anyone finds out about the letter, I'll have hopefully already gotten the betrothal annulled." Felix states confidently.
"You'd have it annulled! How unromantic..." Byleth pouts.
"Oh, don't give me that look. It's not like Annette wants this either." Felix retorts annoyedly.
"You don't know that! This is just shameful Felix. You need more opinions on this. Your classmates should know!" Byleth shouts commandingly before sprinting past Felix and down the stairs.
Felix chases hastily after Byleth expecting a long chase ahead only to find her stopped in the middle of the stairway. Felix, slightly confused, looks past Byleth to find that she's been blocked by someone standing at the bottom.
This entire situation with Byleth has been absolutely dreadful for Felix, but it seems the moment he's refused to even think about has arrived sooner then expected. Blocking Byleth at the bottom of the stairs appears to be the orange-haired klutz herself, otherwise known as Felix's fiancé... Annette.
