Soulmates au - Lon'qu x F!Robin
Robin was unlike any other person he met before.
The first time Lon'qu realized she was something special was when he didn't flinch from her touch. In fact, he didn't even notice her hand on his shoulder until he turned around and looked in her lovely face.
The dark haired swordsman didn't like physical contact, not with men and especially not with women, but here she was, smiling brightly down at him, warmth radiating from where her palm met his shoulder. After some moments he shrugged it off, his face bright red. He tried not to think about this for long, but he did, and sometimes he found himself missing the heat of Robin's presence.
The second time he realized that Robin was special was after they saved a merchant called Anna who joined their cause after that. The battle was nearly over. Only Chrom and the bandits' leader were still fighting. Lon'qu breathed heavily and had to lean onto his sword to support his weight, so he didn't realize that the tactician was running over to him. The myrmidon noticed it too late for Robin already flung her arms around his torso. It took some seconds for him to process this situation.
Neither did he want her hug nor did he need it.
Just as he wanted to push her away his legs gave in, but Robin was there to break the fall.
"Don't think I didn't notice the blow you took for me," Robin whispered.
He struggled slightly, but she was strong and her grip around him didn't falter. Probably he only would have fallen to the ground if she released him.
"Please, Lon'qu!" she was pleading now and her voice was far too close to his ear, "Just let me help you."
And only now as Robin nestled up to him it dawned on Lon'qu that she was the first person in years to really touch him, not only physical but also emotional. Actually, he let nobody close since Ke'ri died. Basilio's friendly pats on his shoulder were nice, but they didn't reach the last corners of his heart. Now that this woman rested in his arms his heart seemed almost too full from feelings.
Robin's every curve seemed to fit perfectly against his body as if they were separated long ago and finally found together again. They pieces of a puzzle that found their equivalent at last. When Robin mumbled something unintelligible and nuzzled his chest, he smiled barely notable. Lon'qu tightened his grip around her and buried his nose in the woman's hair.
Robin was the one person he searched and longed for a long time, without knowing and being aware of it. She hit him right in the heart. She was his soulmate.
Lon'qu was happy.
