When Robin and Lucina first arrived to the Smash Mansion, they were both amazed and surprised by the decor of the Mansion and the amount of people held. They did not however expect to meet so many people that had questionable ways of fighting. For example, Robin had decided to split apart from Lucina to meet new people and walked over to a blond princess with a huge pink dress and high heels. After introducing themselves, her name being Peach, and learning that she was a veteran, naturally Robin asked what kind of weapon she used. Her response had baffled him.
"Oh sweetie I don't have a weapon, unless you count a frying pan as one" she smiled.
"W-what? Then how do you fight against the other fighters?!"
"Well actually, many of the fighters here don't carry weapons to fight, they all have their own fighting style" she then pointed towards a blue spiked hedgehog, "You see that guy? He fights with his own bare hands and he's very fast, you'll most likely not be able to land a hit unless you formulate a plan and time your attacks perfectly to land a hit on him."
After that, Robin was able to see what Peach had meant. In his first week there, he saw all the matches to better understand his opponents and their fighting skills and started planning for when he would go up against them. And in that week, he also met his roommate Shulk. Their first meeting had certainly become... memorable to say.
Robin had told Lucina that he was tired and would be leaving to find his room. When they entered the mansion, they were both given room numbers and a key for the door, and also mentioned that everyone would have a roommate. Robin had wanted to room with Lucina but understood nonetheless that each fighter would room with their own gender.
Once Robin finally found his room, going in the wrong direction only twice (and was proud of himself considering the mansion was HUGE) he turned the knob, surprised it was already open. This meant his roommate was already there and Robin was excited to see what kind of person his roomie was. He opened the door only to find no one. Robin frowned and looked around the room, there was a bed on the left and right side, with a window in between them, and each held blue blankets and two pillows. There was also two set of drawers on each side of the bed, and the walls were painted a silverish gray. On the left was what he assumed to be the bathroom. He then spotted his own luggage under the bed and noticed there was another set under the other bed as well.
Well since he was already there, he decided to put his clothes away and picked the bed on the left side of the room. He hoped his roommate wouldn't fight over which bed to sleep on. After putting away his clothes, Robin locked the door to not have anyone interrupt his sleep, with the exception of his roommate who would already have a key. He was already exhausted and slept right away as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Moments later, Robin awoke to rapid knocks hitting the door repeatedly.
"Hey! Roomie? You in there? I lost my key and I would really appreciate it if you opened the door!" Ah so Robin finally gets to meet him.
"Yeah, wait up, I'll opened it" Robin got up and hurriedly walked towards the door, and paused a bit making sure he at least looked presentable to leave a good impression and finally opened the door.
"Thanks, I was almost worried that my new roommate was a sadist and wouldn't open the door ha, the name's Shulk by the way" the blond held out his hand and smiled brightly at Robin. Robin eagerly returned the gesture, glad he finally met his roommate and wasn't some moody or temperamental person he thought it would be.
"My name is Robin and it's nice to finally meet you and sorry I was sleeping and I locked the door so nobody could come in, I thought you would have the key with you"
"It's fine, if anything I should be apologizing, I made you wake up when I wouldn't had to if I hadn't lost my key" Shulk rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
They both released their hands at the same time and just as Robin was going to invite him in, two angels from across the hall were pulling on something, and arguing very loudly.
"It's my turn to play! You always hog the controller!" The white angel whined.
"I wouldn't have to if you didn't suck at the game so badly!" The darker angel sneered.
And as fate would happen, the white angel tripped and landed on the stomach of his counterpart, knocking down the dark angel. And it just so happen that Shulk was behind him, knocking him onto Robin. Robin, who watched the angels, but didn't react fast enough to warn his new roommate, tried to keep Shulk from falling but failed as well.
They both fell down onto the floor and their lips connected from the impact.
Robin was shocked to feel the soft pair of lips and looked up at Shulk, seeing the same expression being mirrored. Up close, he could see the blonde's nice shade of blue eyes, and he wasn't going to lie, this Shulk person was very attractive to the eye so of course It would make sense that Robin 's face turned beet red. Shulk too turned red and got off of Robin as quickly as he can.
"Hahaha...I didn't mean to do that, I'm completely straight, no hint of gayness in me, really!"
"Me neither!" But then why did Robin's heart dropped in disappointment after hearing that?...
Shulk offered his hand for the tactician, and Robin was at least grateful to get their awkward situation out of the way and accepted his help.
"You see what you did idiot!? You just made two straight guys kiss!" The dark angel said as he stood up and towered over the light angel, who was still on the floor.
"The way you say it makes it sound like I have some gay superpowers" the white angel exclaimed while laughing at the idea and got up quickly to Robin and Shulk.
"Hey sorry I made you guys kiss with my extreme gay superpowers that I didn't know I had" he raised his hands up in sign for peace.
"It's fine just be a bit more careful next time" Robin replied, not wanting another repeat of what just happened, although he wouldn't mind if It was with Shulk. But then he remembered he was straight and realized that straight men did not think like that.
"Yeah it's cool and all, I know you didn't mean any harm, besides you were just having a bit of fun weren't you?" Shulk on the other hand didn't mind and wanted to make new friends, or at least that's what It seemed to Robin.
"I like you! You're a fun guy, my name's Pit, servant of the goddess of light!" The white angel then did some pose that was supposed to be intimidating but made him look ridiculous instead. "And this is my wife, Pittoo!"
"Idiot! How many times do I have to tell you that I am not your wife!? And my name is Dark Pit, don't get It wrong" Dark Pit then proceeded to smack Pit in the head.
"But Pittoo you act like a wife and that's why you are my wife" Pit said as though It was the most obvious thing in the world.
"A wife huh?"
"You don't have a wife!?" Pit gasped.
"No I don't" Shulk replied, a bit unsure.
"You need a wife! A wife can get food for you, take care of you if you're hurt, will protect you and will be your partner in the tournament! You can't just go in here without a wife! Everyone has one!"
Robin seriously could not tell if the angel was telling the truth, he looked so serious about it. Dark Pit on the other hand was trying to interrupt the conversation.
"That's not true-"
"But I don't have a wife! I need a wife!" Robin turned to Shulk, shocked to see the desperate face of utter despair of not having a wife. And Robin was not feeling jealous at the thought of Shulk getting a wife, nope not at all. He just met him, it wouldn't make sense to be jealous when he hardly knew the guy.
"Come on I'm sure that's not true, right er Dark Pit?" Robin looked at him for help.
Dark Pit took one look at Shulk and grinned "actually, yeah everyone has a wife, you'll be the odd one out for not having one." Robin decided that this dark angel was an asshole and a sadist.
"Look Shulk it's fine, I don't have a wife either so we'll both be the odd ones out" Robin tried to reassure Shulk and It seemed to be working before Pit interrupted.
"Listen I'm a veteran in here, I was In the last tournament, so I know what I'm talking about, take it as some good advice, newbie" Pit smiled ear to ear.
Well there goes Robin's hope of discouraging Shulk from getting a wife.
Shulk grabbed onto Pit's shoulder," Pit does it matter who's a wife? It can be anyone right? Right!?"
"Yeah it doesn't matter who's a wife, as long as you have one, you'll be fine"
And then Shulk turned to Robin. Robin could already feel the sense of dread in the pit of his stomach along with an unknown feeling that was churning and making him lightheaded.
"Robin, would you please be my wife?" Shulk got on his knees and hold onto Robin's hands as he proposed. Robin could already feel his cheeks burn and noticed that some of the other fighters had paused to look at the scene they were making.
"Awww look! It must be love at first sight for Shulk! But wait, where's the ring? Shulk you need a ring!" Peach had been one of the bystanders and Robin blushed harder at her words.
"Ah you're right! Does anyone know where I can get a temporary ring so that later I can buy a real one" Shulk looked around, only now noticing that they had gathered a crowd.
"Mhmm like a promise ring? I just bought this ring a while ago, but I can certainly give it to a cute couple like you" Peach said sweetly.
"Wait!" Robin had to stop this madness that was quickly getting out of control. "I haven't said yes and I won't say yes! This is crazy, you're pretty much asking me to get married to you without even reaching S support!"
"Boo! You're a heartless person! You won't even consider him? Shulk seems like a cool guy and he's desperate to have you as his wife!" Sonic, as Robin recalled from his earlier memory, shouted out to him, and soon everyone who was watching was agreeing with the hedgehog.
Robin couldn't handle all the pressure being put onto him and tried to calmly think of a plan, ignoring his fluttering heart.
"Shulk, you do not want me as your wife, plus, you're straight and I'm straight" Robin tried to convince Shulk.
"I know, but I'm not asking you to be my boyfriend, just as my wife, it's completely different and legit" and Robin gave up, seeing the determination shine in the blonde's eyes and knew there was no way out from the proposal without crushing his new roommate or being on the receiving hate from the other smashers.
He sighed "Ugh fine, yes Shulk, I'll be your wife."
Shulk quickly got up and got the ring from Peach's hand, it was a lovely silver band and had crystals embedded along the edges of the ring. Shulk slipped the ring on Robin's finger, he was so close to Robin, that he could literally feel his body warmth and was suddenly reminded of the kiss they shared not too long ago. Robin's face again turned red when Shulk grabbed his ringed hand and hold them up together.
"Alright! Robin is now officially my wife!"
And everyone clapped their hands and cheered for the new couple, a few whistles could even be heard.
After the hallway cleared (Mario had ordered all the smashers to return to their room to give the new couple a break and it was getting late) Dark Pit approached Robin.
"Woah I was not expecting it to escalate this quickly, I actually feel sorry for you now" Well at least he looked genuinely sorry. However, Robin was not feeling forgiving since it had been his insistence that led him to be known as Shulk's wife.
"Yeah no thanks to you" he made sure to glare extra harder than necessary.
"Wow Shulk! I'm impressed, it's good that you got a wife! And on your first day too!" Pit eagerly clapped Shulk on the back, while Shulk remained immensely proud of himself.
"Yeah! Now I won't be the odd one out!" Of course not, now Shulk was going to be known as the love sick guy who proposed on his first day being here.
"Oh yeah and Robin too, since you're my wife now." Robin tried not to let the 'my' part get to him, and proceeded to walk back into his, their room.
"Yeah, I hope you're happy and all, now can we please go to sleep, I'm tired and exhausted."
"Good idea wife, it is getting pretty late, well I'll talk to you guys tomorrow, good night" Shulk said his goodbyes to the angels and followed behind Robin.
"I hope you don't mind, I took the bed on the left since you weren't here and I wanted to take a nap earlier."
"Oh? It's fine, besides you're my wife, you get to pick first." Robin was about to argue but let it slide since he was too tired from the events that happened today.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to shower real quick" and Shulk went Into the bathroom with a towel and a pair of clothes.
Robin decided that he should change too, and to take a shower in the morning since all he wanted was to sleep off the events that happened today. And just like before, he was blissfully asleep as soon as he made contact with his bed.
Moments later, Shulk got out of the bathroom with only his boxers, deciding it was too hot to sleep with clothes on. He was just about to ask Robin if he liked his first day in the Smash Mansion but stopped himself when he saw Robin asleep. Shulk smiled a bit when he saw the peaceful and serene look on Robin's face. He admits the white haired guy was pretty cute, especially when his face would blush.
"Good night Robin." And Shulk slept on his own bed.
I decided that there was not enough ShulkxRobin so I decided to write a fanfic about them. I don't know about you guys, but I find this couple absolutely adorable! They're both such nerds, I'm definitely going to be giving them nerdy moments. I hoped you liked this and if you do, please review!
