Benny with a s/o who finds his appearance and build to be cute rather than intimidating. S/o can be a Oc, si, or just corrin I’m not picky)
(Let's GOOOO bc Benny IS so cute ;;; A ;;; Also I alternate between Benoit and Benny for his name; Benoit just sounds so much cooler, and I love the idea of Benny being his nickname ;;; )
He’d heard you describe him using that word once before. And he still wasn’t completely certain how he was supposed to take it. After all, he was notoriously one of the most fearsome and intimidating members of your army.
Where in the world did you get the idea he was anything other?
The latest time you said such an outlandish thing was during tea with your sister. Camilla had wondered aloud what had you so enamored with the man (who was currently hulking beside you, a towering presnece at the tea table.
“Well, I mean, where do you start?” You replied, looking your husband up and down and earning a bashful smile from him. “He’s just so cute!”
The term made Camilla giggle, and baffled Benoit.
“Er…you think I’m cute?” He repeated, a bit stunned by the statement, “You’re serious?”
“Of course I’m serious!” You huffed, as though offended he would suggest anything otherwise.
“But why?”
“Because! You’re- oh, I don’t know! It’s something about your face, and your hair, and how big you are…”
“Darling, those traits would make him look more intimidating than adorable. You seem to be confusing the two.” Camilla remarked, incapable of withholding her amusement.
“But he’s not fearsome!!” You countered, bordering on indignant. “I mean, look at him! He’s such a sweet and gentle person, how could anyone think him sometihng other than cute?”
“I-I think you’re referring more to my personality, not my appearance.” He corrected you as dour as ever. “I don’t exactly look ‘cute’. You look much cuter than I do.”
“Oh, stop it! Flatterer.” You laughed, failing to hide the blush on your cheeks behind your fingers. “That’s what makes you so cute! You look so rugged, and strong, but you’re such a gentle soul on the inside. I’ve never seen a man who can just hold out his hand and have a bird just fly over to you! It’s part of what makes you so special.”
“I feel like you’re describing an animal. Not a grown man.” Benny said shyly, the gushing praise of his wife making his heartbeat far too quick.
Camilla was smiling to herself, watching the two of you get into a competition over who might get more flustered first.
“When you explain it like that, darling, I’m beginning to understand your line of reasoning. Him being a big, gruff yet gentle spirit is quite charming.”
“Yes! You get it!” You cheered, grinning at your poor sweet husband. His eyes were fixed on the tea, a big part of him wanting to hide in a corner. “He’s just so adorable, isn’t he??”
“Indeed he is,” Camilla grinned behind her teacup. 
“Come on, now…this is a little much.” Benoit mumbled. You giggled as you wrapped your arms around his bicep, resting your head on his shoulder.
“I’m sorry, Benny. I just love my big, sweet husband so much I want everyone to know it! And if they don’t understand why, it’s my marital duty to educate them.”
“How many more people are you going to ‘educate’?” He sounded mortified by the mere thought.
You shrugged, “Anyone who asks! Camilla was just the start.”
“You know, I wouldn’t mind if…if you didn’t educate anyone else.” He sighed, earning another laugh and a kiss on the cheek.
“Very well, my love. If you’d rather maintain that fearsome image, I won’t undermine you. Now let’s finish our tea. And maybe, if Camilla asks for more stories or has other curious questions…I might just oblige.”
“Oh, I don’t think she-”
“Actually, Benny dear, I have thousands of questions I’d simply love to ask my Corrin. Now, when did you first discover how cute he was?”
Benny was beyond a good sport when it came to being harassed by his wife, thankfully. And you were sure to apologize for embarrassing him with a litany of kisses; the only fair compensation for his troubles.

Do you have any Benny to reupload?
(I have a small trove of him because he was a sleeper favorite for me... I'm such a sucker for the strong/silent type ;; _ ;; )
“Charlotte!” You called for the beautiful fighter, your face surprisingly cheery despite the gravity of war looming over the army’s heads. Said blonde turned to you, her frosty gaze melting some when she made eye contact with you.
“Princess Corrin, how lovely to see you.” She commented, looking down at you with a sweeter smile that before. You walked up to her and sat next to her, wondering why she was alone. Probably brooding over the fact she wasn’t married to some wealthy man, yet.
“How are you doing this morning?” You asked in a conversational manner, though you were more focused on finding a certain someone who’d escaped you earlier that morning. 
“I am well, milady.” She dipped her head respectfully, though even she could tell you were on the prowl for someone else. “Is there something I can do for you?”
“Maybe. I was looking for Benny, have you seen him?”
“Benny?” Charlotte repeated with a slight crinkle of her nose. “Why are you looking for him?”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.” You laughed, your hands behind your back as you leaned to the side. “I just wanted to talk to him.  I found something I think he might like, and I would like to show him. Any idea where he might be?”
“Perhaps, but I would advise you to avoid the less...savory kinds of people, Corrin.” She warned you ominously, making you roll your eyes. Some people found Benny to be intimidating, and downright scary at times (and by some we mean most), but after getting to know him you knew he was anything but. 
“He’s not ‘less savory’, Charlotte. Now will you help me find him, or what?”
“Last I saw him, he was prowling around the woods, gathering firewood.” The mercenary told you, and you chose to ignore her disapproving gaze when you thanked her and headed off. Your hands slipped in front of you to keep the mystery gift concealed, though it wasn’t long before it would be revealed to a certain other.
‘Benny’s going to love these when I show him.’ You thought to yourself with a happy smile, and the blonde flash of hair that caught your eye seconds after alerted you to the presence of one very strong, very kind man lifting armfuls of logs.
“Benny!” The knight turned at the sound of his name.
His eyes were hard at first, but they softened when he caught sight of you. The tiniest of smiles curled his lips, and he bowed when you came to him. 
“Princess Corrin, it’s wonderful to see you.” He greeted you, and you couldn’t help giggling when he said “wonderful”.
The man was a charmer and he didn’t even realize it. 
“It’s good to see you too, Benny. I wanted to show you something, I thought you might like them. Do you have a moment?” You asked, glancing at the firewood in his arms.
He nodded quickly, setting said wood aside and taking a seat on a felled tree alongside them. 
“Always, for you.” Benny pat the spot next to him, and you happily sat down, your bodies rather close.
He gave you his full attention, something you always appreciated about the kindly knight. There weren’t many people like him left in the world.
“Take a look at these!” You removed your hands from behind your back, showing him the small, delicate flowers you held. 
Benny gasped softly, his eyes widening if only a fraction when they landed on the sweet-smelling petals in front of him.
“These are-”
“Peonies.” He interrupted you, though it wasn’t intentional. “How did you find these?”
“I was patrolling with Camilla, and I saw a little patch of them! I remembered how much you like them, so I wanted to pick some for you. I could get more if you want.”
“N-no, this is fine.” He assured you, carefully taking the small flowers in his large, calloused hands.
He looked over them as if they were precious gems, and you could practically feel the thankfulness radiating off his person.
“...Thank you, Corrin. These are beautiful.”
You chuckled, standing up from your spot and brushing the dirt from your legs.
“You’re welcome, Benny. I wanted you to have them the second I saw them. Speaking of which, I should probably head back.”
“Head back?” He repeated, looking at you with a furrowed brow. You bit your lip, tilting to the side again. “...You abandoned your post, didn’t you?”
“It was just for a second. I couldn’t wait to show you those flowers!” You reasoned, but started back to the field regardless. “You can scold me later, but I’ve gotta get back before Xander finds out I left Camilla alone! Though it’s not like she can’t take care of herself.”
“You never know. Maybe a band of thieves attacked her while you were gone.” Benny pointed out, though his smile never faded.
You giggled again, feeling a light blush tinge your cheeks when you saw that grin widen. 
You could practically live off those smiles.
“I guess we’ll find out! See you tonight, Benny!”
“See you tonight.” He called after you, his deep voice sending reverberations through your heart. You recalled later that he had only called you "Corrin" when thanking you for the gift, and not “Princess”.
Unfortunately Xander already found out what you'd done and was standing with Camilla when you returned, receiving a harsh scolding afterwards.
It was worth it, though.
