I've decided to try a NILS story! * gets booed * Hey! It's not THAT bad!!! T_T. I don't' own Fire Emblem. If I did, why do you think I'd be DOING this? Plus, then I'd actually have a job v_v.

Prologue

*

Nils' reddish brown eyes scanned the camp. "Is there anyone near the food tent?" He pondered, as he sat near his and Ninian's tent. He looked around the tents, whistling. Perfect. No one was watching.

He dashed off towards the food tent, hiding behind various objects as he went. The smell of delicious edibles was starting to fill Nils' nose. He grinned, and he couldn't' wait. He was almost there! Looking around for Marcus or Lowen - who either took guard around the tent or cooked, he noticed that Lowen was near-by. Uh-Oh! He had to think of something . . .

Then he decided to casually walk in, see if he could take any for a snack, and walk back out as carefree as he came in. Forcing himself to walk, he made his way into the tent.

There was Hector, Matthew and Eliwood. "I guess it's there turn to do dishes." Nils smirked. He smiled mainly because with Eliwood, he could get away with ANYTHING. Quietly gulping and wishing for luck from SOMEONE or something, he walked by the three dish-doers.

Someone grabbed at his collar "HEY!!" Nils called out, suddenly yanked from the ground, and into the air. Darn it, Hector was the one that grabbed him.

"And what would YOU be doing here at this time? We had dinner a while ago!" Hector eyed him carefully.

"heh . . ." He started slowly. Sweat was starting down his forehead. "I guess I didn't have enough to eat . . . and I'm kinda hungry right now . . ."

Hector and Matthew were now judging him. The thief was rubbing his chin, and looked at Hector.

"Come on guys, just let him have something. It would be good to have less leftovers for tomorrow's dinner." Eliwood sighed. That was the third time this week. Quite frankly, he was starting to get suspicious of Nils. Why would he stop having as much at dinner, especially at the amount that Lowen cooked? It didn't' make much sense.

The axe wielder looked at Eliwood for a slight moment, and then dropped Nils. "All right Eliwood. But if I catch this rat in here again, I'm gonna have to deal with him. Got that?"

Nils smiled at Hector. "Thanks Hector!!" Quickly hugging what he could (which happened to be Hector's legs), and went and grabbed some food, and left the tent.

After a small time, all three looked at each other. "You need to stop being so nice to Nils. He knows he can get away with ANYTHING when you're dragged into his messes." Matthew started on Hector's behalf.

Eliwood sighed again. "I know that Matthew!"

Hector started to tease. "Is it 'cause you like his sister, or you can't say no to kids?"

"HEY!!"

"Avian!" He called out. He was now in a small group of trees, holding the food he got from the tent. "It's okay! No one followed me!"

A head popped out of the bushes. The girl looked about ten years old, and had black hair. Her sky blue eyes showed fear in them. But they soon turned to relief, and she pulled herself out from her hiding place. She dusted off her grey dress, and walked up to Nils. The black hair ran down to her shoulders.

She made a thank you gesture, and then started to eat the food slowly, trying to savor the taste. She probably didn't know the next time she would eat, so she had to remember what food tasted like.

Nils sat on the ground next to her. "Still can't talk, huh?" He was trying to communicate with her. She shook her head, making Nils sigh. She gave him a worried look.

"Oh, no no!! It's not like that!" He said, while waving one of his hands frantically. "It's just I'd like to hear a word from you, that's all!" Avian sighed. She seemed relieved.

There. Just a prologue. So, what'd you think?

Erk: Why are you writing a fic for NILS, of all people?!

I want to give Nils a chance! Besides, then I can try a Ninian/Eliwood, and not just limit myself to Lyn/Eliwood. And it ticks off my sister since I'm doing a Ninian/Eliwood in this fic. XD Besides, you don't see any Ninian/Eliwood fics here.

Nils: Yay! I have a fic!! ^______^

Erk: -_-;;;
