Chapter Text
“Ya know, ya can be a bit of an idiot sometimes,” Tobias said, turning his head to face Fenn.
“Preposterous. I was given the highest education.” Fenn said, taking Tobias’ hand tentatively. “But you do tell me. Frequently.”
“Good. It’s important ta me that ya know that.”
“Why ever is that?”
“So ya know how in love with ya I am.”
“Is that so?”
“Yup. Ya know it ain’t every day yer average, slightly idiotic farmboy, however handsome he is, gets picked up by the second son of one of Vaylin’s four most influential families. And now look at ya. You an’ me, we’re the hottest couple in uniform.”
Fenn let out one of his rare laughs, a deep, rumbly sound. Tobias laid his head on Fenn's chest and smiled.
“And to think all this started with that storm tearing the wall down.” Fenn said, glancing over at the still ruined wall.
“It’s strange ta think about. But I think it started earlier.”
“Oh?”
“Well, if my brother hadn’t sent me off here, an’ ya hadn’t shot yer sargent, we never woulda met.”
“You make an interesting point, Vaylinian.”
“I make a lot of those.”
“That is highly debatable.” Fenn said, carding his fingers through Tobias’ hair.
“Do ya think ya meet me in every universe?”
“Perhaps. But that whole idea of other universes is nonsense. And there are billions of people in the world, and- “
“Ah, shut up an’ answer the question Fenn.”
“I think so.”
“What d’ya think the craziest universe is that we meet in?”
“Oh, excellent question. Perhaps somewhere in a world where the enviroment is dying and people feel helpless to do anything because the big corporations rule everything and they’re just one person, so they keep their head down and do their best, but it’s so small it feels like it’s not doing anything.”
“That’s really dark Fenn. Lighten up a little.”
“Alright if you insist. Perhaps we would meet on a heist, run by a bloodthirsty criminal for an asanine amount of money. We would make it out unscathed and settle down somewhere quiet, occasionally visiting our heistmates.”
“That sounds nice. Would ya’ be happy there?”
“With you, Tobi? I’m always happy.”
