Fiora would bully Shulk to wear cutesy matching couple outfits all the time... much to his dismay of course!
Inspired idea from @mioluvrsonly she makes great Xenoblade art (and great art in general) so go check her out!!!
being in a poly relationship with shulk, fiora and reyn
pairing: shulk x fiora x reyn x gn!reader
tags: poly relationship, childhood friends to lovers, domestic life, hint at marriage, fluff
shulk, fiora, reyn and you were all childhood friends, growing up together in colony 9
your entire childhood long, everyone always assumed that shulk and fiora would end up together, while you would be the one dating reyn
and while they weren't quite wrong, the four of you actually began to all date each other, as you got older
out of the four of you, fiora is the clingy one! she's always clinging to you or shulk, while teasing reyn and acting like she doesn't like him
though occasionally, fiora does let her act slip and shulk and you catch her being nice to reyn when she thinks nobody is watching them!
while fiora is the clingy one, shulk is the brain of the quad! he's the one who usually has the brain cell that the four of you share, using it for his monado research, as well as making the decisions in your relationship
and lastly, reyn is the muscle of the group! he's the one opening jars, carrying everyone's belongings and doing all the crafty work that needs to be done!
the four of you have plans to build a house in colony 9 when you get older, which has been a plan of yours since you were all children
you already decided that shulk will be the one to construct it and make the blueprints, reyn has to build it up on his own and fiora and you get to decorate it!
there isn't a lot of jealousy between the four of you, the only exception being situations where you can't really spend time as a quad
sometimes there are times when shulk locks himself into the lab to finish his newest research and as the one always cooking for the four of you, fiora is the only one who gets to see him, as she brings him his food, leading to reyn and you feeling a bit jealous and left out. but all is well once you get to spend together again!
the four of you knew from the start that your relationship would withstand the test of time and that there wasn't anyone else you could ever be with! you were destined to be together and nothing could get between you!
after a few years of dating, fiora makes up a plan to get the four of you matching rings! fiora made the design, reyn gathered the materials and shulk designed them. those rings are a symbol of your strong bonds with each other!
They hover, this family of hers, after they get her back.
Fiora’s used to being the one who charges on ahead, wielding her words just as well as her knives. She’s used to being the one who kept them safe. But somewhere in the time that she was gone — in the time when they thought her dead — that had all changed.
Dunban likes it when she stays on his right. Her father, brother, protector all in one, he takes out hordes of Mechon before they can so much as even look her way.
Fiora never thanks him for it; not verbally, at least. Instead, she guards his side — and afterward, when she tugs on his hair and chides him for putting himself in danger, he just smiles. He knows what it means.
Reyn hasn’t changed much, not when it comes to her. He’s still ready to spar with her, verbally or otherwise, at any given moment. It reminds her of when they were children, tussling out near Tephra Hill until they were scuffed and bruised all over.
But Fiora still sees the way he watches her out of the corner of his eye. He’s never been the subtle type. There’s tension in his shoulders whenever he sees her fighting, and his fingers clench around the hilt of his driver. She can take a few hits, she assures him, but as always, he never listens.
She makes him dinner every day now.
And Shulk…he’s changed the most. Sometimes, Fiora doesn’t even recognize him.
It had always been her job to drag him out of the lab on long days, her job to make sure that he ate something. Her job to keep him safe.
Now, it’s all different.
“He never rested,” Dunban tells her quietly. “Not once. Not until he knew you were safe.”
She’s safe now — but he still doesn’t rest.
If one of her joints is creaky, he’s there in the blink of an eye to fix it. He has no qualms in shoving her back behind him, yelling a warning at her every time he has one of those visions of his.
Fiora wonders if she should hate it more. She can take care of herself, a fact that she’s made all too clear.
Some part of her, though, likes him — all of them, really — keeping her safe.
Change, she supposes, maybe isn’t such a bad thing.

I also included here my signature because I love Melia 💖
You know who else I haven’t drawn in a long while? And that was about 8 years ago for one comic, so here’s Fiora again after relearning her hair. By the way, that “Take Your Kid to Work Day” thing was actually a thing.
