Hello one and all. For those who don't know me, I am Mattirving. And for those who do know me, Hello and I am sorry for being inactive in recent times, but I'm here now. So I will cut this a bit short but if you're interested in hearing about stuff concerning Ylisstol high please head to the bottom of the story.

Thank you and please enjoy. And maybe review.

Ylisstol was at piece, it had been 6 months since Gangrel's defeat and 3 months since Chrom and Sumia got married. Ylisse was blessed with a new Grandmaster, Robin who cleaned up nobility corruption and really helped with the economy and crime rate. Ylisstol was blessed with warm nights with a warm summer wind and young couples out late returning home from a date or to a motel for bonus time, groups of people went out for drinking and partying either until the sun came up or vomiting became a part of the equation or the taverns closed whichever came first. Occasionally, on these nights people would gather in the casinos hoping to gain wealth fast or simply spend a fun (expensive) evening and sometimes there would be a frog on a unicycle yelling O Shit Waddup to a passerby. It was on nights like these that the moon shined so brightly you could almost see your reflection off of it. And it was also on nights like these that Robin could not sleep. He tried everything from a book to signing but nothing worked for poor Robin. He had enough of being kept up by Sumia's demands of Falchion being shoved inside of her and Chrom's demands for her "sweet rhubarb pie". Mind you, Robin did not hear it every night, sometimes they were quieter than tonight in fact, Chrom said that it was "Because of Sumia's irregular cycle" which just made Robin cringe more. Robin would at first try to drain out the noise with a book, that never worked after he would to some overtime in his office and fall asleep there, only worked sometimes since Robin's office did only have chairs and if all else failed, he would go out the front of the palace to catch some air. Yes, it was one of those nights.

Robin sighed while sitting down on the steps to the palace thinking about his life choices.

"Why did I agree to be Chrom's second."

Robin was known for being smart, handy with a sword, deadly with magic but he was not known for his great luck. For some reason, he was more bothered with these all-nighters lately. It was not because of the number of times they occurred increase or anything but something ate at him. Before he could delve deeper into his psyche to find an answer, he spotted a known criminal eating what appeared to be a lollipop.

"Hey Bubbles, you look like a dentist told you to lay off the sweets." Gaius said taking his lollipop out and putting it back in.

"Hey Gaius, unfortunately, I'm upset because of someone indulging himself in too much candy." Robin said with mild disgust.

"He didn't offer you any?" Gaius immediately shot back.

Gaius looked like he was about to punch whoever had all those sweets for himself. Robin needed to elaborate further on the situation. After telling Gaius the situation, Gaius sat down next to Robin hoping to stop the bitter taste in his mouth.

"Sounds to me like you might be a bit jealous of Blue if I'm being honest." Gaius said with a wry smile.

Robin was taken back by what Gaius said.

"Umm I'm sorry Gaius but I think I missed something here."

"No you heard me, I think you need a piece of cake too you know?" Gaius said.

"I'm not quite sure I know where you're going with this Gaius." Robin retorted.

Gaius slapped his forehead with his palm. He took a breath and continued.

"Bubbles, listen it's not what they're doing it's what they're doing"

"Well yeah the noise is keeping me awake Gaius."

"No Bubbles, it's not the girl it's the girl." Gaius said with more confidence.

"No Gaius, trust me, me and Sumia are just friends I swear."

"Bubbles… for a tactician you're pretty bad at figuring things out. What I'm trying to say is you're craving a girl of your own."

"What?"

Ridiculous! Robin wasn't jealous of Chrom. But then again, it wasn't like Robin didn't envy Chrom. Even he admitted being married had its perks. Having someone by your side to support you when you went through a hard time, the enormous boost of confidence in yourself and of course the…

"By the gods, he's right. I'm actually jealous of Chrom."

Gaius looked on to Robin and he smiled. Nodding his head back and forward in an approving way.

"So you finally get it? Now what are you going to do about it?"

Robin had not thought about it that far, he just realised what he wanted.

"I don't know. I mean, I don't even know what to do at this point. It's not like I have a girl in mind you know."

"Bubbles, you don't have to do much courting you know? You're the Grandmaster of Ylisse and a war hero and not to mention the Exalt's best friend. Look we could sit around doing math problems all day and hurt our brains but it's not complicated if you see the logic." Gaius ranted.

"He's right, although I have a bad history with math problems, it's easy to see how popular I am without counting so many variables."

"Look Gaius, I get what you're saying, but believe me, I would still have no idea where to look for something like that. Besides picking girls up isn't exactly a talent of mine." Robin said with a look of uncertainty.

Gaius sighed. He thought that this was even harder than taking candy from a baby.

"Bubbles, you just need to go out one night in a tavern, meet a girl, have a few drinks, wake up the next morning not remembering-"

"GAIUS! Gods, what kind of man do you take me for? That's out of the question." Robin said obviously and understandably upset at Gaius for his out of place comment.

"Well, you do you Bubbles." Gaius said preparing to walk forward. "What you need to do, is be more bold." As soon as he was done, he put his loot bag over his shoulders and waved to Robin.

As he grew more distant with Robin, Robin thought about what Gaius said.

"Be bolder, yeah that's easier said than done."

"Bolder? I'm not sure why but I think a bolder you would put everything you've accomplished in danger."

Robin was surprised by the voice, he didn't need to turn around to notice who said that.

"Well Chrom, who's fault is that? Maybe if you could keep it quiet I wouldn't think about how lonely I am. Besides what are you doing up at this hour? Shouldn't you be in bed with your wife?"

Chrom blushed.

"Well…sorry. I heard your door earlier so I knew what was happening and came to apologize so I kind of rushed to see you. And I caught you and Gaius talking so I… listened in."

Chrom couldn't say anymore. He was so embarrassed.

"You know Robin, maybe Gaius was on to something with the tavern thing." He laughed.

"He also said I should take some of your candy too." Robin retorted.

"Let's stick to the bold thing. He's not wrong there you know. Girls like men who can a man when they need to be, first impressions are crucial. You need to be sure you're not too creepy but just bold enough."

"Chrom, I don't see how you're fit to tell me all of this. You're the person who couldn't take a hint if it was written in a tutorial."

"Oh yeah? Well sometimes when you try to explain a plan, you sound like a twelve year old explaining how to do something with technology on youtube."

"Aright Chrom, so how should I practice being bolder?" Robin asked.

Chrom looked around in front of him uncertain of what to say. Until a certain dancer caught his eye.

"Perfect. Robin, I found your solution. See Olivia? I want you to ask her out on a date." Chrom said with a smile.

"Chrom don't you think that's…risky? I barely know her and even though she may be pretty and look approachable, she's actually hard to talk too. She gets scared easily and shy really fast."

"Which is exactly why she is perfect! If you're too aggressive she will get scared and run off, if you're too meek, she will gently let you down but if it's right she'll have a hard time saying no but she won't be afraid to so she will. Plus you just said it yourself, she is pretty which is why she also makes a good candidate. You have to practice talking to pretty girls. And of course asking them out."

It was hard to argue Chrom on that. He hated to admit it but he was right. Robin took a deep breath and steeled himself.

"Chrom if I don't come out of this, I want you to know, this is your fault."

Robin approached the training field that Chrom saw Olivia at. She was surely practicing a dance routine and must have thought she was alone so it wasn't a big deal.

"Gods what if I catch her off guard and scare her off, why did you make me do this Chrom."

He leaned on the side of a tree in the yard and silently observed Olivia dance. Olivia meanwhile was ignorant of the fact she was being watched by Robin (and Chrom from afar). She leaped into the air making a full spin and jumped again for a front flip. She landed on one foot and proceeded with a handstand. She lifted one hand on the floor and slowly spun on her hand in a straight pose with her free hand perpendicular to her body as she was doing her full turn she noticed a creep looking at her.

"Robin?"

Having seen Robin, she got scared and fell backwards on her back. Robin ran over to help her up but after she got up she realised she was still blushing and quickly backed up EEking.

"Sorry Olivia, I didn't mean to sneek up on you I just noticed you dance and thought it was so pretty I just couldn't help myself I wanted to see more. Are you ok?" Robin asked concerned.

Olivia brushed herself off and blushed.

"Yes…I'm ok." Oivia said still shocked to see Robin out this late.

"So… you come out here this late often?" Robin asked trying to make the awkward atmosphere vanish.

"Wha-oh yes…it's so quiet and peaceful on nights like these. So I usually end up dancing and I can't sleep so I come here whenever these nights come up so I can feel the breeze and mild temperature. It makes it ideal for dancing. Plus there is usually no one around to see me."

"I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep on such summery nights"

"That's cool I was just uh… getting some air I was stuck working late tonight…you know these crazy hours haha…ahhh" "Good going dofus that was as smooth as sand paper"

"I feel so bad for you… I hope you get time off soon." Olivia said sympathetically.

This was Robin's chance, it was now or never.

"Actually I have some free time in two days… so I was thinking of, you know, going out to see the town maybe grab a bite to eat down by the famous restaurant everyone has been talking about with that famous Feroxi chef. And people are usually busy so I was thinking, just now I mean…hehe…maybe you would want to come with? To hang out you know, the two of us." Robin managed to articulate.

"Based on how I get rejected I can see how I did. I don't think I was too aggressive but I got to too shy at the end."

Robin was waiting for the verdict. Not the yes or no but how Olivia would respond to his question. Millions of things were possible, she could call him a freak or a loser, she could just not even answer and run away yelling in the middle of the night (probably getting Robin in a bad spot and explaining what happened to an angry Maribelle would be embarrassing) or she could laugh at him and embarrass him.

Olivia's face got red. As she tried her best not to panic or yell or scare Robin. She stuttered for a few moments.

"I…Uh…well….I…"

"Oh great I scared her I thought for sure I was on the meeker side."

Olivia looked at Robin and uttered one word. "Yes"

Robin looked up surprised at what he had heard.

"Sure…I would love…like too." Olivia said still red.

Robin was in shock. It was like when Emmeryn died almost. It seems like he never learned his lesson of planning the unexpected.

"Oh…well cool! J-just us right?" He continued hoping she would chicken out.

"That's grea…okay with me. Y-you said you wanted to go with me right?" Olivia asked one last time still beet red.

"Okay…great! Ill swing by your chambers in the castle in two days at around… say 10 am?" Robin said.

Olivia's blush disappeared from her face as she smiled and nodded in agreement.

"I'll be ready for then."

Robin was trying to make a plan for his specialty, escape.

"Awesome… listen I'm going back to bed to rest up. I have a real big day tomorrow so we can…spend some time together."

"Okay goodnight Robin I'll see you soon."

Robin waved one final time at her and left the grounds and quickly rejoined Chrom. Chrom looked at Robin seeking a verdict.

"Chrom… she said yes." Robin said still floored.

Chrom's eyes opened wide and stared at his best friend in similar shock.

"You didn't scare her too much she said yes out of fear right?"

"No I even emphasised it would be just us too walking around town and stopping to eat by that new feroxi joint."

Both men looked at one another, unsure what to say.

"Chrom this is your fault."

"MY fault? You asked her."

"Only because you made me!"

"I didn't make you! I suggested it."

"You made it so convincing! Well it's too late now! Look at her she's amused by it. I can tell from this far away."

"Well…honestly it's not my problem."

"I am truly blessed to have such a considerate and helpful friend like you Chrom."

"Atleast go on the date with her, just don't make any moves that would seem to…romantic. Maybe you'll pass as two friends spending time together."

"Chrom. A girl that cute? People will obviously think we're… an item."

"Okay but you make sure she doesn't. Understand?

"Fine."

Robin started walking inside the castle.

"Well I'm going back to bed. I have a busy day tomorrow."

"Alright sleep well Robin."

Before entering the castle Robin turned to Chrom one last time to face him.

"Hey Chrom, what's the Spanish word for wind?"

"I'm not sure."

"Too bad. If you must know it's Elwind!"

"El wind haha…Oh gods you mean"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off with two slices of wind magic hitting him. Chrom fell over in pain hugging his chest with his arms and curling up repeating "ugh".

"Jerk"

Robin headed inside and closed the doors leaving Chrom to his pain for making Robin do something so embarrassing.

Not too bad I hope. I really hope you enjoyed this so far because there just might be more coming soon. Leave a review or PM me to give me any criticism, comments or chat really.

For those who have read Ylisstol high and are concerned about my coming back: Ylisstol high was "finished" when Robin reached his decision. Everything after that was bonus stuff since I really liked that story. I might add more chapters however so make sure to look out. I hope you still gave this a read and enjoy it.

I hope to see everyone soon in the next chapter. Peace!
