Of all the people that Dedue might have thought that Byleth's interest would fall upon, he would have placed himself quite low, especially during their days in the Academy. He did not do much to distinguish himself academically-- neither as casually brilliant as Sylvain, nor as obsessively studious as Annette-- and focused most of his energy on Dimitri. He certainly had far too much on his mind that year to even entertain things like crushes on attractive teachers. Or on anyone, for that matter.
And if he were to peg Byleth's interest on anyone, he would have bet Dimitri.
"It had always seemed to me as though your attention lay elsewhere."
