Could you write a fic about Kana (whose mom is Azura) marrying Kiragi (whose mom is Oboro) in secret since their dads hate each other? Thanks in advance!

I had some fun writing this one, and I ended up getting a bit more than I expected out of it. Hope you like it!

“A ring?” Kana gasped.

“Yeah, it’s not as nice as the one your father gave you, but I made it just for you,” Kiragi said sheepishly.

“Nonsense Kiragi!” Kana took the ring in her hand, it was carved wood patterned with swirls that looked like the wind mingling with what looked like her dragon horn, “it’s lovely, and coming from you it means so much, as long as it means what I think?”

“Geez Kana, do you doubt me that much?” Kiragi winced, “I know our fathers don’t get along, but I was hoping…”

Kana shook her head and grabbed Kiragi around the neck, pulling his face down and kissing his cheek, “I accept, and I’m sure my papa won’t care as long as I’m happy,”

“Are you sure,” Kiragi sighed, “Whenever your father comes into conversation, mine get’s this look on his face,”

“Well, we could always tell them afterward, then they can’t say no!” Kana grinned grabbing Kiragi’s hands in hers. Kiragi smiled, nodding his head as they settled down to have the lunch he had brought in their little secret clearing outside of the castle.

“You sure you shouldn’t ask her dad first?” Shiro shrugged, replacing another weapon on a rack, “You know, like, for her hand, that traditional stuff my dad’s always going on about,”

“I’m pretty sure you’re just saying that because Selkie’s dad isn’t as intimidating as the leader of our entire army,” Kiragi goaded.

“You never know man, he can’t be that bad,” Shiro told him with a sideways look.

“How can that be true when my dad can’t stand to be in the same room?” Kiragi’s shoulders sagged.

Shiro turned and clapped a hand on his shoulder, “Seriously? I think that just has to do with your dad’s personal feelings and less to do with Corrin’s actual personality,”

“You could be right…” Kiragi muttered.

“But Caeldori, I really don’t want to,” Kana groaned, “He’s scary,”

“Uncle Takumi? Scary?” the older girl snorted, “Maybe to the enemies, but he’s actually a really quiet person. You should just go say hello, see for yourself. I think if your mothers can get along, there has to be some measure of support for you two,”

“That’s only because my mother lived in the Hoshidan castle for so long, and I don’t think your uncle likes my mother any more than he likes my father,” Kana pointed out.

“You’re over thinking it!” Caeldori jumped up, “Come on, let’s go together and see,”

“No no no no,” Kana dug her heels in resisting the other’s pull, “Let’s not. Maybe I’ll try talking to his mother first, test the waters,”

“Whatever you want,” Caeldori shook her head, “I have a training session with my parents anyway, We’re practicing flying drills today,”

“I’ve never been so nervous to climb a tree, and this one has stairs,” Kiragi muttered to himself.

“Kiragi!” came his mother’s call, “Where have you been? it’s time for your studies,”

“But mom!” Kiragi tried to point to the treehouse behind him.

“No buts, you promised me,” Oboro gave him a look, “Unless Lord Corrin has specifically asked for you, then you have no excuse,”

“I have something to ask him though,” Kiragi insisted.

“Like you forgot to clean your bow every time I pull out the math book?” Oboro laughed, “Come on now, don’t make it harder than it has to be,”

“Mama, can I talk to you?” Kana approached her mother who had been sitting by the amber pool humming.

“Of course Kana, you know I will listen to you whenever you need me,” Azura patted the space beside her.

What would you say to me if I told you one of the boys loves me?” Kana asked simply.

“I would say, as long as you love him too, then that’s all that matters,” Azura smiled, “But if it were just any boy, I don’t think you would be so roundabout in telling me,”

“I’m afraid you won’t approve Mama,” Kana admitted, “I’m more afraid that Papa won’t either,”

“Now why would you need to be afraid?” Azura asked patiently.

“Because his father doesn’t like either of you,” Kana pulled her knees to her chest, “And I don’t think Papa likes him much either,”

“I cannot think of who that could be, so why don’t you tell me who, and I can tell you whether or not that’s true,” Azura posed.

Kana looked up at her mama and paused, contemplating her response before pulling out the ring, “Lord Takumi is who I mean. His son, Kiragi gave me this ring,”

“That’s a lovely ring Kana,” Azura smiled brightly, “Takumi can be a bit hard-edged sometimes, and he does not feel as close to your father and I as he does to the siblings he grew up with, but he respects your father, otherwise he would have never stayed with us,”

“I heard he stayed because Lady Sakura asked him to,” Kana leaned into Azura, who put an arm around her, “And I heard him and Papa argue a lot,”

“Have you ever seen them argue?” Azura asked.

Kana thought about it, “I haven’t,”

“Would you like to go tell your father?” Azura asked her.

“Not yet, I think I want to go find Kiragi first and talk to him,” Kana gave her mama a hug before standing to leave, “Thank you, mama, I love you,”

“I love you too dear,” Azura said with a wave before returning to her humming.

“Was that so hard?” Oboro asked after Kiragi finished a few of the problems she had laid out.

“No mom,” Kiragi sighed, “Not compared to this other thing,”

“What other thing is that?” Oboro tilted her head in question.

“Ack, I mean nothing, I’m gonna go now,” Kiragi jumped up and turned away.

“You’ve got me curious, but I supposed if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine,” Oboro shrugged, “But if you’re in trouble, I ask that you tell me so I can help you, or tell your father,”

“I can’t tell dad,” Kiragi said a bit too quickly, “I mean, I can, but I don’t know if he would like it,”

Oboro grinned, “I hardly think anything you could do would ever tarnish his opinion of you. Your Father loves you Kiragi, more than you can imagine,”

“I know that,” Kiragi turned back, “I know he loves us, and he loves his family, but that’s it,”

“Putting it like that makes me more curious,” Oboro waved him back to the table. Kiragi hesitated before sitting back down again.

“He doesn’t like Lord Corrin,” Kiragi said bluntly.

Oboro looked surprised, “Where did you get that idea?”

“He hardly ever talks to him, or Lady Azura,” Kiragi told her, “From what I’ve heard, he doesn’t trust them cause they’re from Nohr,”

“Lady Azura has lived with the Hoshidan Royal family for most of her life, and Takumi never really took the time to get to know her, but when Lord Corrin came back and the war started, many things went badly, and he took out his frustrations on the both of them.” Oboro explained, “He has since learned better, and respects Lord Corrin as a commander. Why are you so concerned about their relationship?”

“Uh, that is…” Kiragi stammered, “I suppose I can tell you. I love Kana,”

“That’s wonderful Kiragi,” Oboro brightened, “I don’t see why your father would disapprove,”

A knock came at the door, “Hello?”

Oboro stood to answer it, and revealed Kana on the other side, looking a bit startled, “Hello Kana, Kiragi was just telling me-”

“Come on Kana,” Kiragi jumped up and grabbed Kana by the hand, running out the door saying quickly, “thanksforthetalkmom, gottagonowbye,”

“Kiragi! Why did we have to run?” Kana panted as they stopped.

“Let’s just do it,” Kiragi said to her, “Let’s just go get married and then tell our fathers like you said,”

“Wait what?” Kana gasped, “I was only joking, besides I talked to my mom and it might not go as bad as we think,”

“I did too, but I can’t help but be afraid that they might not see it like we do,” Kiragi looked downcast, “I just want to be with you, and I don’t want anything to get in the way of that,”

Kana pulled him into a hug, “Okay if it means I can get my cheery Kiragi back instead of this gloomy Kiragi, I’ll do it,”

“Let’s ask Lilith to transport us to a town so we can find a priestess to help us,” Kiragi pulled her more gently as they set off to fulfill their plan.

“Where is Kiragi? It’s not like him to miss dinner,” Takumi asked Oboro as she set out the food she had made.

“He might be out with Kana still,” Oboro said nonchalantly, “They’ve been spending a lot of time together lately,”

“I’m happy he get’s along with the other children so well, I was worried he’d inherit being a loner from me,” Takumi sighed.

“Yes, it is very good,” Oboro nodded, “What do you think of Kana?”

“Oh, she’s a good kid, though I’d be a bit worried about her dragon form, with her being so young, I hope Corrin has been teaching her to control it properly,” Takumi shrugged.

“I thought Kana was going to be home, I made her favorite meal,” Corrin muttered as he set the food out for himself and Azura.

“Perhaps she and Kiragi got caught up,” Azura mentioned.

“Takumi’s son?” Corrin perked his ears, “Huh, did he take her on a hunting trip today? I hope they bring back some more boar, it made a great stew last time,”

“Yes he is a talented young man,” Azura nodded, “Kana seems to like him quite a bit,”

“Does she?” Corrin contemplated his wife’s statement, “I wonder why she hasn’t mentioned it to me, she normally tells me everything,”

“Aren’t you two a little young?” the priestess said skeptically.

“We may never get another chance, what with the war,” Kana sighed, putting a bit more sadness in her voice, fluttering her eyes to make it look as if she was holding back tears.

“I suppose, you both are wearing armor,” the priestess looked them over, “I suppose I can’t really deny you if you are sure,”

“Thank you, ma'am, we have a bit of money for your chapel as thanks,” Kiragi passed a bag of gold coins to her, which she gasped at.

She peered into the bag and blinked, “this is more than enough,” then nodded, “Come with me, it won’t be anything fancy, but it will be official,”

Returning to the castle in the astral plane, Kana and Kiragi came face to face with Azura and Oboro. Before they could speak Azura gently held up a hand, effectively silencing them.

“Come with us,” Azura nodded to them.

“We’ve been worried about you both, as have your fathers,” Oboro told them as they walked towards the big tree house.

“Sorry mama,” Kana sighed.

“Mom, why are we going to the tree house, shouldn’t we be headed home?” Kiragi asked.

“You’ll see,” Oboro said simply.

They climbed up to the front door and opened it revealing their father’s speaking in a hushed tone.

“Kiragi, you’re alright, I was worried something had happened,” Takumi was the first to speak, his eyes glancing over his son, looking for any sign of injury, but they stopped when they reached his hand which was clasped with Kana’s.

It was Corrin who spoke next, but his tone was warm, “Kana, do you have something to tell us?”

She gripped Kiragi’s hand harder, then tentatively held up her other hand, which had been hiding clutched in her clothes, “Me and Kiragi are married,”

“What!?” Takumi jumped up exclaiming.

“Calm yourself,” Corrin said gently, laying a hand on the archer’s shoulder, “I doubt that is the reaction they were looking for,”

“Married though, when did that happen?” Takumi lowered his voice.

He looked more concerned than angry, leading Kiragi to speak up, “Just an hour ago,” he admitted, “We didn’t know if you would approve, and so we thought you couldn’t say no if it had already happened,”

“Did you really think we would say no?” Corrin asked crossing his arms.

“I’m sorry Papa, we thought you two not getting along would mean you wouldn’t want us to be together,” Kana explained quietly.

The two men looked at each other for a moment before looking back to their children and then laughed together. Their children gaped in shock at the sight.

“I might have distrusted Corrin at one point, but what gave you the idea that that would ever carry towards Kana?” Takumi asked Kiragi finally.

“I don’t know, I was worried because you never seem to talk to him or Lady Azura,” Kiragi told him.

“We are at war, there isn’t a lot of time to talk between preparing for battle and the battles themselves, I try to split that time between all of my soldiers,” Corrin explained, “But the other royals, Takumi included, I generally get to speak to at strategy meetings, so I feel less need to spend time with them personally,”

“I like to keep to myself,” Takumi shrugged, “As does Lady Azura, so naturally we don’t tend to seek out each others company unless we so happen to be in the same place at the same time,”

Azura nodded, “You see dear, nothing to worry about,” She smiled to Kana.

“I think the only real objection I have is that you both are much too young to be married,” Corrin pointed out, before shaking his head, “But it seems I am too late for that. You both will continue living under our roofs for now, but that being said, that doesn’t mean you have to both be under separate roofs,”

“As if Kiragi really needs a better excuse to spend time in a tree,” Takumi chuckled, “My home is open to you both whenever you please,”

“When this is over, you are getting a proper wedding, with proper clothes,” Oboro chimed in.

“And a proper ceremony,” Azura nodded.

“Will you sing for it, mama?” Kana chirped.

“Of course I will,” Azura smiled.

“For now though, it might be best if you both kept it to yourselves,” Corrin said seriously, “I’m not saying you can’t be together out in the open, just perhaps keep your marriage quiet for now,”

“I have to agree,” Takumi nodded, “But as long as you are happy, I don’t see a problem with it,”

The children looked at each other and grinned, keeping close to one another as they’re parents talked around them for a little longer. Both felt comfort in knowing things had turned out much better than their fears had suggested.
