Hey everyone! So this is my first Fire Emblem fic, as well as my first time writing girl x girl (though it's very slight). I've written boy x boy before, but I have no experience in this field yet, so please bear with me! :D

Also, I'm not sure if I'll continue this. If you guys want me to, then I'll be more than happy to do so, but I may as well leave it like this.

Oh well, enjoy!

P.S. I don't own Fire Emblem or any of the characters!


"Sleeping deeply far away; Lullabies begin to play; Deep in the forest; deep in the mountain; deep in the wind; deep in our dreams~"

A single song echoed out around the camp. It was sung beautifully, but not loudly. The soft melody was reserved only for the singer, and perhaps one or two people who were lucky enough to get into range of the song. And that was exactly how Ylisse's tactician intended it to be.

It was dark now, and Robin was heading over to her tent. The stars in the sky twinkled down at the people beneath them, gently lulling the tired men and women to sleep. Robin stifled a yawn – she had originally planned to go to bed earlier today (seeing as Frederick's training had been more and more demanding lately), yet the bedtime stretched out when Chrom had wished to discuss strategies as tensions with Plegia rose. The long meeting with Chrom had dragged on for much longer than the girl would like, but it was at last over. She rubbed a tired eye with her fist, as if that motion would somehow annihilate the fatigue plaguing her body. The young girl stumbled over from her leader's tent to her own, wishing to get there as fast as possible to finally drift off to a blissful sleep.

"Please wait, Robin!" a voice rang out.

The tactician's mind snapped back to reality. In the midst of the dead silence of the nighttime, she was far from prepared to hear anything, much less a human voice. She jerked her head around to face the voice, only slightly relieved when she recognized the speaker.

"Ah…" the girl said, rubbing her eyes, "Good evening, Lucina."

"I hope I'm not disturbing you." She said, to which Robin shook her head (though she truly wished to go to sleep), "I'd like to speak to you."

Robin nodded, trying to refrain herself from yawning in front of the future princess of Ylisse, "Alright, go ahead. If it can't wait until tomorrow, we may as well speak now, right?"

Lucina opened her mouth as if to speak, yet in that moment she stopped, as if something had possessed her and froze time. Her expression changed, eyebrows knitted, and after a moment she had finally found her voice again.

"…Are you… coming back from Father's tent?" she asked finally.

"Yeah," Robin nodded, taken slightly off guard by the unusual question, "We were discussing tactics against Plegia."

Lucina scoffed, "At this time? So late in the night? Some 'tactics' those are!"

At once Robin's face burned up. Her eyes widened as she desperately shook her head.

"No!" she protested, "It's not like that! We really were discussing our strategy! Goodness, you have such strange thoughts at times!"

The blue-haired girl gazed at Robin with a questioning eye, "Yeah, sure," she said sarcastically, "Next you'll be denying that you love my Father."

All Robin could do was stare at Lucina with crude surprise. Did the girl really think she was in love with Chrom? The idea seemed preposterous! He wasn't Robin's type; besides, he was married already. Even if desire drove Robin to madness, she would never try to steal someone else's man.

"Lucina…" Robin sucked in a breath, closing her eyes for a split moment, "I'm not in love with your father. You have to believe me."

"And yet you've been spending so much time with him! Every woman I've talked to is in love with him: Sumia, Sully, Cordelia, Olivia—how can I trust you to be an exception?" Lucina exclaimed, "…Forgive me, but I'm just not sure whether I can believe that what you say is true."

Robin looked around in desperation; she really didn't have any time to argue with Lucina right now – she was truly feeling drop dead tired. She took in a deep breath and looked the bluenette into the very center of her eyes; the very center of her soul. She placed her hands on the princess' shoulders and gazed at her with a stern gaze.

"Lucina… Are you… jealous?" the tactician questioned, "Afraid that I'll steal your mother's place?"

"No! That's not it!" the girl cried, "I-I mean…"

"Then how about this?" Robin said softly, desperately wishing to finish this conversation and be able to go to sleep, "Why don't you follow me for a while and watch everything that I do? Perhaps that will convince you that I am not, in fact, in love with Chrom."

Lucina stopped to think over the proposal. It was as good as any, right?

"Very well. I shall shadow you – do not doubt me!" she exclaimed.

Robin smiled slightly. "Alright. I'll see you tomorrow, then. Good night, Lucina."

"…Good night, Robin." The girl replied, and silently watched the tactician enter her tent. She sighed as she gazed up at the twinkling stars in the navy blue sky. They were much clearer than in her future, and the gleaming lights of hope seemed to calm the girl down.

"Jealous? …I suppose I am. But it's definitely a different reason than you think it is." She whispered before retreating to her own tent for a good night's sleep.
