My second entry in the Commercial Chronicles series is finally here! I might make this a three chaptered story, since the advertisement is actually divided into three parts.
So this one is based on a more recent series of commercials for a powdered milk brand, and it features a family, but not the conventional kind, as you will see later. This one stars Male Robin and Lucina, with the special appearance of Morgan (if you have played Fire Emblem Awakening, you will know who Morgan is in terms of full detail).
Here's Chapter 1.
Let's get to it!
In a normal household, one that was almost too quiet, Lucina and her daughter, Morgan, were currently at the dining table. The former was packing up a few essential items, including a book, and a box of something important. Morgan just silently watched her mother pack.
"Okay, Morgan, don't forget," Lucina began. "Your hands, don't..."
"Dirty them." Morgan responded eagerly, as Lucina finished packing Morgan's backpack, and placed it behind her back.
"And when you sneeze?" Lucina reminded.
"Cover." Morgan answered keenly.
"That's it." Lucina smiled. She then fixed her daughter's hair, and lightly touched her face to check if anything was amiss. Thankfully there was none. The bluenette kneeled down, facing Morgan directly.
"Tell me about the book fair tomorrow, okay?" Lucina said, a warm smile on her face.
"Okay, Mom," Morgan replied, and then she hugged her mother. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, dear." Lucina responded in kind.
Amidst their brief embrace, the doorbell rang. Lucina broke off the hug instantly, and they went to the door. Opening it, she was met with the face of a young man with stark platinum hair and a slightly nervous smile.
"Dad!" Morgan called out, rushing to her father with open arms.
Robin instantly opened his arms to receive his daughter in an embrace. "Morgan! How I've missed you!" The two snugged deeper into the hug, as if it was the most important thing in the world.
Lucina could only watch them with sad eyes. It was already hard enough for Lucina to raise her little Morgan, with the latter being a child of many needs. However, it was even harder for her to deal with the fact that Morgan didn't understand why her mom couldn't stay with her dad.
Lucina's daughter was only so young back then, and yet Lucina and Robin already made it official that they would be living separately. Things didn't go well between them, between their marriage, so it came to this, this whole...routine they lived now.
Robin soon let go of the hug, and looked at Morgan with a beaming look in his eyes.
"Alright, shall we head off?"
"Yes, Dad! Let's go!" Morgan cried out in eagerness.
"Say goodbye to Mom first, Morgan." Robin said, briefly looking at Lucina. For a moment, he appeared heartbroken, but he instantly turned back to smiling, gazing at his daughter.
"Okay, bye Mom..." said Morgan, waving her hand at Lucina. Then what she said next had nearly made both her parents emotionally stunted.
"Mom, please go with us next time..." Morgan spoke dejectedly. "Why don't you go with me and Dad?"
Both mother and father it was a request they couldn't fulfill. Lucina was close to breaking apart, but she exhaled all of those feelings out, and responded, "It's just how it is, Morgan. I can't stay with Dad just because of...certain things, but I'm still your Mom, right?"
"Yeah..." Morgan sighed, but upon seeing Robin's encouraging look, she put on a better face, and headed out the door. She and Robin made the move to leave, but Lucina's voice stopped them.
"Robin."
He turned around. "Yes, Lucina?"
"Morgan's favorite milk. You make sure you give some to her, alright?" Lucina requested, referring to the important box she packed for Morgan.
Robin had a look of assurance. "Don't worry, I won't forget it."
The father and daughter soon left the front doorstep of the house, and with one last wave of goodbye from Morgan, the two boarded Robin's car, and left the house. Lucina gazed at the car that was fading from view, and sighed deeply. It had been a long time she and Robin lived apart from each other, and she was unsure of how Robin was feeling as of this moment. Even moreso, Morgan has to live with the consequences of this agreement.
Though, Lucina was at least thankful, for their daughter still managed to have both of her parents by her side, even if they weren't at each other's.
Yeah, so this is the end of the first chapter of this second CommChron. So yes, Robin and Lucina are legally separated in this story, not divorced. Got it? Good. Okay, so the advertisement that was the basis for this fic has a family of three. The kicker is that the kid's parents are legally separated. Though that didn't hinder them from being constantly involved in their child's life. Oh, and it's a NIDO powdered milk commercial.
I hope you Robin x Lucina shippers out there are still okay. I swear, things will get better later on.
Also, no worries, some other Smash Bros. characters will make cameos in this fic.
Feel free to give feedback, or not, your choice, but I do appreciate feedback. 😊
