Hallo, Murgle here. New story time. I know I havent updated my RobinxCordelia story, but I will be doing that soon. But after reading a story written by TheAlmightyDork, entitled "Only the Young" (Please check it out), I started thinking about the subject matter of a little Robin, and some of the fun fluffy moments that would come from that. So I got a bunch of ideas. I will try not to be as dark in tone as he is, I just want to have fun. And unlike my other Fire Emblem story, I will be doing a schedule here. I will be posting a new chapter every weekend (except today). Be on the look out Friday through Sunday. So yeah, as for appearance, just the default female Robin appearance. And these stories are going to have a very small overarching plot, so don't expect epic and grand storytelling here.
This first chapter is kind of boring, considering how its just there to set the stage. Once I set up the main characters I want to focus on. I will be throwing in the fun wrench, and we will see how it goes from there. I hope you enjoy reading, and thanks for the support. I will try to answer any questions and respond to criticism in these author's notes, so please leave them.
Chrom may have made the dumbest decision of his life. It was one thing to keep an eye on a little girl you found in a field. It was a completely separate thing to make this girl the one standing between your friends and death by poor planning. He couldn't help it if she was a genius, a very small and very naive genius. She had managed to impress him very quickly, ever since she was found in that field. Chrom wasn't really able to impress her however. He was just the bumbling idiot who couldn't talk to kids. Luckily both Lissa and Frederick were there to help.
The three of them managed to learn that the white haired child had lost her memories for some reason. It was hard for them to not abandon her. With her terrified and shy look, the utter confusion she felt as she shook, and the feeling of dread you felt being near her sadness. It was during a bandit raid on a village, that Robin showed her true colors. She was trained. Trained in how to fight, how to use magic, and how to lead soldiers. Robin was just as shocked as the Shepherds were.
After the battle, the party helped the villagers rebuild after the attack, starting with burying the dead villagers and bandits. This is when Chrom noticed something fishy. About half of the bandits had their legs cut, arms cut, or their bodies shocked, yet none of them were dead. Robin refused to kill any of them, even when she was acting on instinct. Chrom became perplexed by this, and decided they would take Robin with them, at least until they received answers.
One thing lead to another, and soon enough, Robin managed to lead the Shepherds through two wars, and the resurrection of the dragon of death. There were some awkward moments, like future children, meeting Robin's father, and the dark mage Henry. But the Shepherds managed to pull through. Except for one threat, the most fearsome foe the stalwart Prince Chrom will ever face, babysitting.
"Chroooooooooooom" The pigtailed seven year old said as she tugged on the pant leg of the prince.
"What is it Robin?" The twenty one year old prince asked as he looked down to her, curious at what got her so excited. Robin pointed and Chrom felt a feeling of dread overwhelm him as he knew what was about to happen. "You don't need any more books. You have like ten you didn't even read yet." he said sternly as he remembered at what he was dealing with. A little girl who was 5 times more intelligent than him.
"But those are all boring strategy books! Sumia said she loves that one." Robin said putting on her best puppy dog eyes as she looked at him hopefully. Chrom knew this would be much harder than he thought, remembering the type of reading material that interested her. The thought of a girl as young as Robin reading that skeeved him out.
"No, I assure you it would be better if you didn't." Chrom said, not wanting to be the one to explain this talk with Robin. Sadly Validar couldn't do that, so he just hoped someone like Sumia or Lissa would get around to it. Before Chrom could think anymore about it, he took another glance at the rounded eyes of his tactician. He knew he shouldn't of, because before he knew it, her pigtails bounced as she jumped happily with him saying a simple, "Fine." He watched as the robes he found her in that day flew from her excited running.
Once the two of them had entered the bookstore, Chrom wasted no time in walking to the counter and requesting the book that he saw on the windowsill. He knew what would happen if this didn't happen quick, this was a frequent place Robin visited. Sadly, the man at the counter stated that he would have to go to the back to try and find the book Robin wanted. Chrom sighed as he saw that Robin had already happily skipped away. "M'lord" Chrom almost jumped when he heard the stern voice coming from directly behind him, catching him off guard.
"Frederick? What are you doing here?" Chrom asked shocked to see his knight and most trusted advisor in the bookstore in full armor.
"I am here to see why you are here, I understand that it's your break, but it is not like you to be out of the castle for so long." Frederick replied coldly as he heard a giggling as she ran around out of their sight.
"Well Sumia is off visiting her parents, and it just so happens Lissa is sick, so I'm watching Robin for a bit." Chrom said as he sighed, hearing the crashing of a pile of books in the back of the store.
"Unusual, the girl who led the heroes of our kingdom, being defeated by a pile of books." Frederick said in his usual stoic tone, but managing to crack a smile at the antics he was used to by now.
"Well it doesn't take much effort to give orders and trip some people. Its not like I can actually spar with her." Chrom said managing to crack a smile as well as he made his way to the back of the store. He found the pile of books and saw a tiny hand sticking out of it. Both Chrom and Frederick slowly dug up their grandmaster, smiling when she got up and hugged Chrom tight.
"I thought I would die! I just wanted to reach the book, and, and, I couldn't reach it, so I got on the shelf… the books fell on me." she cried out as she was relieved. Chrom just smiled and hugged her, staying on his knees so she could reach him. Robin eventually released the hug, allowing Chrom to stand up and look at the mess she made. Chrom eventually one book and held it out to Robin, "Isn't this the book you wanted?" he asked curious, happy it was all working out.
To Chrom's surprise, Robin simply slapped the book out of his hand and ran out of the door. Robin looked scared as she ran, yelling, "EVIL BOOK!" Chrom simply laughed and cleaned up the mess along with Frederick. Frederick smiled and said, "She really is a handful isnt she?"
"Yeah, I wanted her to stay away from Sumia's romance novels, but I don't think this is the way to do it." Chrom said smiling as he finished with the mess.
"I think she gets it from you sire, you are known to cause chaos and antics wherever you go" he said sternly, without a touch of humor in his voice. Chrom could only sigh and slump his shoulders as he met Robin outside, ready to head home. Well, drop Robin off at Sumia's and then go home himself. Chrom smiled, despite this feeling like a boring task at first, it was a new record for how much Robin could break things. She even went a whole day without crying or feeling inferior, which is impressive given her background. He still vividly remembers the day that he first saw the bruises and scars on her body, probably from Validar, about a week since they met her. And he walked in on her bathing… Wow, he really did cause chaos wherever he went.
Like I said, setting the stage. Also before you ask, Robin will not be shipped with anyone during this story. I just included the information from Chrom's support to move the plot along. My mentality is that if two characters relationship is platonic, I can still say they had their C-A rank supports. Also since I can't focus on every single Shepherd, given the format. The ones who you will see a lot of are Robin, Chrom, Sumia, Gaius, Lissa, Lucina, Owain, Severa, Cordelia, Lon'qu, Olivia, and Nowi. Those are the ones I have plans for anyway. I will probably end up adding more later on, depending on where the plot goes. The first couple will have some major character development through the story, while pretty much any Shepherd can make an appearance like Frederick did in this chapter. One final note, as Robin will not be shipped with anyone, Morgan will not have the same backstory. He will definitely still be there, just not in the way you think.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.
Murgle Out :)
