So cute!
Summary: Despite his flirtatious acts and many years of living, even Lilia Vanrouge gets nervous while trying to court you.
Imagine if Lilia was awkward and shy when it came to romance.
Lilia has traveled and gained experience when it came to physical intimacy through the centuries.
But this feeling between you two? It was different. It wasn’t something he had experience with. Not something he can just do whatever he wants.
Well…he can but…this feeling in his stomach stopped him. A feeling that’s similar and yet different from his time on the battlefield.
Could he be nervous? Over something like this? At his age?
He usually acts all charming and flirtatious. He knows how to get a reaction out of you, but that was before you two started courting.
Now he doesn’t know how to react. The most embarrassing part of it all? The other three noticed.
Which makes it worse.
Malleus teasingly, “Oh? Are you having trouble romancing YN? How unlike you. Should I message grandmother and ask her how she had courted grandfather?”
Silver, direct as ever, “Just tell YN how you feel about them as you usually do.”
Sebek hesitantly, “Do you want some help from popular novels?”
Meleanor strike him with thunder now.
…she’s probably laughing at him from the stars with Levan.
But Lilia is not the type to give up, didn’t kids these days say to fake it till you make it?
He can do this.
Nope.
He can’t do this.
He would rather be on the battlefield right now.
It didn’t help the other three were watching nearby, making sure he didn’t run away.
Malleus ready to smite him if he hurt you in any way.
He would never do that.
He cared for you too much to do so.
But he needed a minute!
“Lilia?”
Shit.
He was so overtaken in his thoughts he didn’t realize the door had opened in front of him.
Lilia straightened up.
He took you in.
His heart rate increased.
His mouth felt dry.
His hands sweaty.
Fuck.
Oh Great Thorn Fairy help me.
I had this thought one day and it just wouldn’t leave me. Ahhhh it’s such a funny and cute thought if Lilia’s this way when you two start courting 💚🫶🫶 I love it so much 💞💞

you know, I've been thinking about it, and there is actually one single scenario in which I would be okay with not getting a big ol' "Silver Vanrouge" out of Lilia.
(just kidding, I still need some "call me Silver, Mr. Vanrouge is my father" in my life, please don't let me down on this one Twst)
I assume everyone and their mother already came to yell about Lilia's "how do you do fellow kids" fit while showing his leggos and I want to add: look at that face. That grandpa is here to get all the keys lmfao GOOD LUCK EGOOOO
thank you, I'm. definitely gonna need it! ( ᐕ ) let us all join hands and manifest the good rolls together 🤝
this is VERY fast but I absolutely had to drop everything and draw Lilia on his big special day where his friends and kids all celebrate their awesome, wise, loving, super-cool senpai-slash-parental figure in all his magnificent glory
(I'm not letting go of the dragon slippers until they make me)
Simple but beautiful.
magical girl timeee
I ship it!
*lovely complexes them*

SOME CONTEXT FOR CANON-DIVERGENT PARTS OF THIS COMIC:
I started this last year when Stitch's Tropical Turbulence first dropped on the JP server, but because of schoolwork only ever had the chance to finish it this month. So as you may notice there are stuff, like the acorn bracelets being from Mel instead of Silver, that I just drew based on theories about it at the time being retconned now.
I also knew that Malleus was probably just gonna be almost the same developmental age as he was now during Sil's childhood but I wanted to also draw him as a kid. Just because🔥🌺
