Sorry for forgetting the disclaimer when I first posted it...oops?
Disclaimer: I do not own FE or any of the most funny and adorable and awkward characters in the entire gaming world. Also, I'll do a disclaimer at the beginning of this story, and not for any other chapters. But seriously. Do I LOOK like I own the enormous gaming world of FE?
AN: Yeah...so my older brother, has a brand new obsession with Fire Emblem. Dude. You're fifteen. Can't you find stuff to do other than obsessing over your 2DS? Like...I dunno, DRIVING?! So that when you start driving me around, you won't kill me?
Oops. sorry, love you bro. But anyways, he sits down and he literally plays it all afternoon...while hogging MY bed. Urgh. So yeah, I've been following Awakening and Fates...yada yada. He's letting me play some Awakening...
I have female Robin at everything normal except hair 3, and male Robin everything number 1.
And I got bored today, plus I have writer's block for my other stories...heh heh. So here we go!
Let's try my hand at Fire Emblem, yeah?
"Here."
Robin barely caught the apple Jay tossed to her, her basketball reflexes coming in.
"Thanks," she mumbled, slinging her backpack across her back.
Jay ran a hand through his already mussed his white-blond hair, groaning softly. "Come on sis, lighten up."
Robin's eyes flashed dangerously. "Lighten up? Lighten up? You know what happened at Plegia. But now dad's too busy to take care of me, so he shoved me off to mom. Are you kidding me? At least you've been at Ylisse for two years now. Now, I'm the 'new girl' in our junior year. People are going to try and talk to me. You know how much I hate that. Especially how that worked out before."
Jay sighed again, "Okay, how about this. I'll keep anybody who are not friends with me from talking to you. But that means you treat my friends good, okay?"
Robin exhaled deeply through her nose. "Alright. Fine." She bit into the apple, crunching loudly.
Jay's solemn expression broke into a wide grin, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Grima, little sister, did you just agree to something I said?"
"Don't let it get to your head," Robin shot back, swinging the door open while braiding the side of her hair so she could tie it up into a pony-tail. "After you, brother dear. Plus, your only about two hours older than I am."
Jay rolled his brown-green eyes and sighed. "Ro, that makes me...older."
Robin snorted and pointed at the car. "Start her up Jay, time for us to go to school...at Ylisse." Robin finished the apple and tossed the core into the trash can. She popped in a piece of bubblegum, tossing the wrapper in as well.
"How do you make that even sound ominous? Wait till you meet Tharja. She has this sick fascination with me. Maybe she'll go haunt you now."
"Right..." Robin trailed off.
The twins sat in silence as Jay drove, except for the loud chewing of Robin's gum. When Robin reached for the radio and turned on the classical music, Jay huffed, but didn't say anything. After all, this was Robin's first day at Ylisse. Not his.
"So..." Jay started, but an icy look from his twin and he snapped his mouth shut. "Right."
Robin took another deep breath, clenching and unclenching her hands. "I'm sorry, just nervous."
"I know Ro, that's why I'm not jumping on your case. I just...I don't want to loose you when I just got you back. When Dad and Mom split us up..." Jay trailed off, tugging at his hair.
"I know," Robin said gently. The one she reserved for her twin. "I know. You think I was happy there?"
Jay shook his head as he parked. "Just, I want you to be happy, little sister. I'm serious."
"Well, let's see how Day One goes, okay?" Robin said cheerfully, the nervousness shining through the fake happiness.
"Just be yourself sis, they'll love you," Jay offered before strolling into the school.
Robin felt the fear wash over her as Jay walked away from her.
The building was grand. Two stories tall, alternating white and red bricks, slanted roofs, tons of windows, elegant and sophisticated...
Robin let all the air she was holding in out with a woosh. So this was the prestigious 'rich kid' school Jay went to. How he got to stay with their mom, and Robin got stuck with their uncaring dad...Robin didn't know. She just wasn't sure if this was a bad thing, or a good thing.
"You coming Ro?" Jay threw over his shoulder, his white hair glowing in the sunlight. Robin hesitated a second before trotting after her twin. "Yeah! I'm coming! Wait up!"
Robin blinked a few times to rid herself of the glare when she walked through the door.
She watched unsurely as a large group of people greeted her tall, lanky brother. An orange-haired boy wrapped a arm around him and smiled with casual grace.
A blue-haired boy mussed his hair and patted his back. The carrot-haired boy unwrapped a caramel and offered Jay a lollipop. Jay took it with a soft smile, throwing a saltwater taffy back at him.
A brown-haired girl shrieked happily with a aristocratic girl with long blond corkscrew curls. The brown-haired one dragged the blond one towards Jay with a large grin...and fell flat on her face.
"Oh!" Robin muttered softly, tilting her head and observing everything.
A red-haired girl rushed forwards and pulled her up. "Oh Sumia! Not again!"
"Those boots of yours again?" The blue-haired one asked.
The petite, brown-haired girl, Sumia, flushed but nodded. "Uh..yeah."
"It's alright my love, come along now," the blond said haughtily, taking her from the red-haired one. "Thank you, Cordelia."
"Cordelia..." Robin mused. The name tasted strange on her tongue, but Robin shrugged and continued on anyways.
"Oh, hey guys, Robin! Where'd you go?" Jay said obnoxiously, turning around to look for his twin. Robin melted into the shadow of the lockers, flushing. She was glad she was wearing all black except for the gold and red lining on Jay's jacket.
"Robin?"
"Who are you?" Suddenly, a pale, dark-haired, Goth-girl like face loomed into her vision. "What's this? Jay's twin? Aha! Names Tharja. Me and your twin are very very very good friends."
Robin winced but muttered a muted, "Hi?"
"Robin! Where'd she go?" Jay called, spinning around to look for her.
"Here!" Tharja said loudly, shoving her forwards.
Robin stumbled a little but caught herself and smiled wanly before backing up. "Uh...hi?"
"Robin, come meet my friends!" Jay said brightly, Tharja skipping in front of her. Robin frowned at the dark-haired girl but shrugged and walked shyly towards the group anyways.
"Hi...I'm Robin. Nice to meet you all?" Robin mumbled, ducking her head, still taking in all of them. She blew a bubble with her gum unconsciously, and when it popped, she covered her face with shame.
"Alright Ro, this is Sumia," Jay pointed at the brown haired beauty. "Plays soccer, plays the violin, junior."
"Chrom," Jay shoved the dark-blue haired boy forwards who offered her a half-smile and nodded. "One of my best friends. He plays basketball and football with me, captain of the basketball team. Also a junior."
"And Gaius, my other best friend." The orange-haired one untangled himself from Jay and offered her a blue lollipop.
"Nice to meet you, Gaius, sweet-lover, smart, kind, charming, handsome-"
"I think I get it," Robin said dryly, her mouth tilting into an amused smile. She turned to her brother.
"Junior, arrogant ass, takes cooking for the sweets, and spends time gaming and occasionally breaking into places," Jay introduced.
Robin nodded, eyes trained on him, reached forwards to take it, but hesitated.
"Wait a second, be right back," Robin said quickly as she ran towards the nearest trash can, and spit out her gum before walking back and taking the lollipop. "Thanks."
"You're welcome Bubbles," Gaius said with a large smirk.
Jay stared at her twin in shock. "Ro, did you just...throw away your gum for a lollipop?"
"Yeah?" Robin said with a raised eyebrow. "Is that wrong?"
"You never spit out your gum though," Jay said with a cute little furrow between his eyes. "Why now? I mean, when I said you had to try, I didn't mean that you had to break the fundamental twin rules!"
Robin rolled her eyes and fingered the side braid that hugged the side of her head, melding into the curly ponytail. "Stop being dramatic Jay. How about you introduce the rest of your friends?"
Jay shot her another suspicious look as he hefted his Biology textbook, but shrugged and nodded.
"This is Maribelle, she's friends with Sumia, and is currently the President of the event-planning student council." The corkscrew-curls girl nodded curtly, but tilted her nose into the air and looked down at Robin as if she was somehow less worthy.
"Welcome to Ylisse. I hope you enjoy your time here." The words were clipped and her tone was cold and hard. The words sounded like they could be for any random person.
Robin gave a small, slow nod and turned to the others.
"This is Cordelia, captain of the girls soccer team." Robin waved at the beautiful girl, a little nervous and unsure again. She gave a Robin a pained smile, shrugged and turned away.
"Tharja, who've you already met," Jay continued on wryly, pointing at the girl with annoyance. Tharja stuck a doll under Robin's nose. "So how's this one? Voodoo enough?"
"I am the Vaike! And I shall not allow some simpleton introduce me!" A buff, blond-haired boy said toothily, sprinting in between the twins while spinning a football. "Football, basketball, I got it all! I am the Vaike! And I shall not be beat! Welcome Jay's little sister!"
"Hi Vaike," Robin greeted, though a little take aback. "Uh...and I'm Jay's twin. Not 'little sister'."
Vaike shrugged. "You are to him, so you are to us, anyways, you better go and cheer for all of us!" He then drifted off, and found his place on the wall next to a muscular, brown-haired boy.
"I'm Lissa!" A bubbly blond said happily. Her pigtails swung back and forth, to an fro. "I'm Chrom's little sister! Hi!"
Robin was entranced by them, but awkwardly shook her hand when Lissa offered it with a kind, gently smile.
"Yup, that's Lon'qu," Jay drawled slowly, pointing at a stoic, stone-faced boy standing away from all the girls, the one Vaike started talking to. "Plays football and lacrosse." Robin nodded, logging all of the information for later.
"And this here is Sully, and that's Stahl," Jay continued, pointing at a red-head and a brown, almost green haired boy.
Sully, the red-head had a pixie cut, a sharp nose, and tough, cold eyes. Muscles laced her body and scars peeked out from her shirt. "Sully, nice to meet you." Robin nodded, trotting a little closer to see the pair.
Stahl was fast asleep on Sully's shoulder, drool starting to pool at the corner of his mouth.
"Stahl!" Sully shook him. "Jay's little sister's here! Hey!"
Stahl blinked open olive green eyes and gave her a sleepy smile. "Hey...Robin. Jay's talked so much about you..."
"Hello," Robin said, her eyes trailing across both of them.
"Stahl swims, and does horse-back riding. Sully is in charge of the equestrian club, and she also plays basketball as well."
Stahl wore a tight, slightly wrinkled sweater proclaiming the Ylisse swim team across it, while Sully had a knight in shining armor saving a...guy, and when the knight took the helmet off, it was a girl peering up from underneath.
"And this is Donnel," Jay said, pointing at the dirty, battered boy with a tattered baseball cap.
"Hiya miss! Mah name's Donny! Howya doin'?" Donnel said happily, his accent so thick that Robin had difficulty understanding him at first.
"Uh, I'm good, hello," Robin answered.
"And I'm Nooowi!" a girl with bright-green hair grinned widely, her childish appearance taking Robin aback.
"Yes, like dear Nowi said, this is Nowi, she's actually a senior, so don't let her fool you." Jay took Robin's hand and guided her back towards the others.
"Hey Jay, Lucy just showed up," Chrom said motioning towards a blue-haired girl who could have been Chrom's stunt double.
Robin watched as her brother's face turned slightly pinker and his mouth upturned a little. His grip even tightened on her hand.
"So, who's Lucy?" Robin piped up when it became obvious that Jay wasn't going to say anything.
"Oh! I forgot you haven't met yet!" Chrom said knowingly. "Lucy's my cousin. Her real name is Lucina, it's just some of her closer family and friends call her Lucy. We look alike because we both take after our fathers, while my sisters take after my mother."
"Sisters?" Robin asked with curiosity, turning to face the stunningly dashing boy.
"Oh yeah! I forgot! Right, so Lissa's my baby sister, but Emm is my older sister. By quite a bit," Chrom explained.
"What do you mean?" Robin asked, her hazel eyes squinting.
"Well this is a private school, and it's been owned and operated in the Ylisse family for generations. Hence why it's called Ylisse High School. The Headmaster is always the head of the family. Our parents died in a car crash, not long after Emm graduated from college with a major in business and a minor in education. She's been shooting to take over for years now. So now Emm is the Headmaster, and basically our mother. She's twenty-six while I'm seventeen and Lissa's sixteen. A bit of a difference, but we love each other the same." Chrom took a deep breath after explaining all that.
"Ramble much?" Robin said, but her tone was devoid of anything joking. Her eyebrows were raised, and her mouth twisted into an amused smirk. Jay nudged her as he finally tore his eyes away from the blue-haired girl. "Don't be rude Ro."
"Sorry," Robin apologized with the same detachment. "I'm trying, I'm just not very good with people. Sorry if that offended you." Robin winced at her tone. It sounded impersonal, even to her own ears. Like a robot.
"No, it's fine, you're okay!" Chrom said, waving it off like it was nothing. "Trust me, since I'm Emm's sister, I usually have the duty of showing everyone around, and unfortunately, I'm your guide for today anyways. Jay has to head to class, I'm sure it'll be fine right? You are after all, enrolled in mostly the same classes as me."
Robin shoved down the shame of already insulting somebody, but gave him a soft smile to say thanks. Jay rubbed her shoulder casually, and went back to studying the blue-haired girl.
"I know you have some classes with Stahl and Gaius, and also some with Sumia and Cordelia. Let's see. Two periods with me and Maribelle, one period with me and one period with me and Jay, two with Stahl, and one with Sumia and Cordelia." Chrom went on.
By that time, Robin had already stopped listening.
"Hey, hey! Both of you!" Chrom yelled, waving arms in front of both Robin and Jay. "Stop spacing out, alright?"
"Huh?" Jay muttered, struggling to stop staring at the blue-haired girl who was riding on the back of a dark-haired, broad-shouldered boy. He was giving her a piggy-back ride, and Lucina was laughing with abandon, commanding him to take her to class.
"Whose that?" Robin asked curiously, pointing at the boy.
"Oh that's Owain, he's also our cousin. Lucy's dad, my dad, and Owain's mom are all siblings. But Lucy's parents died in the same accident that took mine. They were all going out to this theater..." Chrom trailed off, blinking furiously. "Now we're all Emm's."
"I would say I'm sorry, but I'm sure those words are meaningless to you now," Robin offered, setting a hand on his shoulder, face burning with shame and embarrassment. "What happened to Owain?" Robin shoved her brother after the two cousins, as they ran back and forth down the hall.
"Go say hello Jay. Is Owain's parents alright?" Robin asked gently, turning to face Chrom, who's eyes were downcast and faraway.
"His mom, our aunt died giving birth to him, and his father ditched him. Our parents adopted him, but then they died as well. He is technically our brother now. Lucy's our sister legally. He's closest with Lissa though. We're all Emm's responsibility." Chrom sighed.
"Alright, should we go to class?" Chrom offered, holding out a hand. Robin watched as her brother's figure faded away, chasing after the two cousins.
Robin felt herself taking his hand, and Chrom started leading her towards they're first class, but dropped her hand with a flush when he realized how intimate they looked, and they had barely met, much less the fact of Robin being Chrom's best friend's sister.
Robin let Chrom take her to class, and shyly took a seat in the back.
"Alright class. I am Ms. Miriel, and welcome to AP Biology. If you are smart, then you would know whether you belong in this class or not. If you do not, I'd advise you to go to the Headmaster's office right now to change your schedule. Are we clear?" Ms. Miriel said sternly.
All the kids exchanged glances but didn't say anything.
Robin felt her stomach drop, and turned to look at Chrom. He shook his head, motioning for her to remain silent.
"Good. Since none of you left, I hope you all will give your best effort," Ms. Miriel continued. "So let's begin! Alright, everyone flip your book to page nine. Read pages nine through sixteen."
Everyone groaned.
"Silence! Begin!"
And there was absolute silence as Ms. Miriel pulled the brim of her hat towards her nose and continued on reading whatever was on her desk.
Robin ducked her head, and started reading, but Chrom nudged her.
"What?" She whispered looking around for anybody else who was looking. Maribelle shot them both a dirty look and turned away with her nose in the air. Robin sighed.
"What Chrom?"
"Nothing, just..." Chrom hesitated. "Nothing."
"Silence!" Ms. Miriel demanded. "Next time someone talks, they get a week of detention!"
Robin pulled her chin to her chest and continued reading, ignoring Chrom's guilty face.
"I'm sorry!" Chrom pleaded, following her like a lost puppy.
"Dude, I forgave you already! I didn't get detention, neither did you. Now go away so I can go to class. You are not in this class. Only Stahl is. So go away!" Robin shoved him lightly in his hard chest, pointing down the hallway. "Go find Jay!"
Chrom lowered his head and nodded slowly, backing away.
As Robin turned around and walked into class, she rubbed her cheeks, trying to rid herself of her blush.
"So," Stahl yawned. "Are you going to sit by me?"
"Huh?" Robin said, turning to the dark-green haired boy and plopping down next to him.
"Since you sat down I'm going to assume yes?" Stahl said with sleepy eyes. "Wanna chocolate croissant?"
"Uh..why?" Robin asked, staring at the offered treat.
"Oh, families friends with...bakers...free food. Breakfast." Stahl said, yawning again and slumping over. "Wake up if things gets interesting." And promptly fell asleep again."
Robin poked him, and he stirred a little, and went back to sleep.
"Naga, do you sleep all day?" Robin groaned. "At least I don't have to be nice to any of Jay's friends in this class then."
"What'd you say?" Stahl asked, one green eye open curiously.
"Nothing," Robin swore, staring at her desk.
"Right. Welcome. My name is Mr. Libra, and I'll be your AP World History teacher this year..."
"Class is starting?" Stahl asked, sitting up for a second, before slumping over on his desk. "Ugh it's Libra."
"Is he bad?" Robin asked nervously. "I mean so far, he's been a lot nicer and a lot more welcoming than Ms. Miriel."
"Oh not at all," Stahl said, nodding off again. "Just...borriinnng..."
"Stahl?" Robin muttered, poking him in the shoulder, and wincing as her finger bounced back and twisted. Ouch. Stahl was a swimmer alright.
"Guys, read the board...it is recommended to..." Mr. Libra droned on.
Robin smacked her head on her own World History book.
"Ugh. Kill me now."
"Just...sleep." Stahl advised.
"Good idea," Robin groaned, and closed her eyes and tried to drown out the sound of Mr. Libra's droning and the quiet chatter of her classmates.
Robin felt sick as she stared at the large double doors.
"Everyone has lunch together," Lucina explained as she darted ahead to chase after Owain.
"I have to see everyone?" Robin gulped. "I mean, what if they're all mean? And the entire school? Like seniors and freshmen and sophomores too?"
"Don't fret," Sumia giggled. "Nowi is the queen of the seniors, no one would dare say no! And plus, Sully's a senior too. No one likes to cross Sully. And the younger ones never threaten us."
"Come on!" Lissa smiled brightly, pulling her along while Sumia took her other hand. "It can't suck that much, right?"
Robin felt a slow grin take over her mouth.
Gaius patted her back with a smirk, "See Bubbles? Nothing to worry about. You got friends. Not even including the fact that everyone worships your brother and if they dare insult you, they'd get beaten up nice and good by him. And we'd help him."
Somehow, Robin felt herself feeling assured, even if she still had no idea what would happen. "Okay, let's go."
And then she pushed open the doors, with a smile.
AN: so...how was that? Tell me if I should write more Fire Emblem...or if I should just stick with Pokemon. :D I mean, I'll take note...but if I really want to, I will just decide for myself. But recommendations(ahem CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM not flames) are very very appreciated.
I wasn't sure how to add younger generation, but I think I'm only going to have Owain and Lucina. Everyone else...eh. Screw them. And the cousin thing is the best thing I could come up with. So...whatever.
If you guys want me to continue this as a multi-chapter fic...well, it really depends on the response, but hey, shoot me a PM or review to tell me if this sucked, or if you'd like to see more, yeah? I really want to continue it, but if people don't even like it...then why would I waste my time? I mean, I might type if out, just for kicks. I dunno. But then again, if I do type it up...I'm working on two published stories, and another one in the making...I dunno.
Ugh. Decisions.
But if I do continue it, which it has a 65% chance I will...female Robin doesn't have a particular ship in this...because...well you'll see. I love both of the guys that have a chance with her, equally, and it'll be dramatic for sure. Male Robin's going with Lucina. Sorry. I love them too much.
