A Love No Arrow Can Fell
A/N: Woah hey there, it's me, Noskansho! Sorry about not updating in a while! I didn't mean to do that- well, kinda. For those who don't know (pretty much all of you), I have mock GCSEs coming up, so I need to revise up a storm and a half. On my faults, I've put my other story on hiatus to think about where I'm going to steer it after the exams. LET'S GET ON THE POSITIVE STUFF NOW. Anyway, I got my copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening on Thursday- now now, people, don't accuse me of anything bad. I simply pre-ordered it. Anyways, I got a MyUnit x Sumia marriage in-game and I kinda felt touched by it. Maybe because half the shiz involving your avatar towards the end game shocked and saddened me (SHIIII SPOILER NARROWLY AVOIDED) and I wanted to write a small one-shot about the pair. Did I just ramble on for over 150 words? BUGGER. ON WITH THE STORY.
"Chrom, are you sure this will work? I mean, this IS a big fight coming up." Lissa asked her older brother Chrom, the prince of Ylisse. Within a day, they'd be arriving at Plegia Castle, causing Robin to retreat to his tent to rethink his strategies.
"Hey, don't worry about it, Lissa." Chrom reassured. "This is one of Robin's plans, he'd never use it unless he knew it would work. Anyway, you should go talk to Maribelle, she's been rather worried about you."
"What, again? I told her she need not worry about me!" Lissa exclaimed, running off to Maribelle's tent.
"Ha ha ha. Always one to be surprised by the obvious." Chrom laughed lightly to himself.
"Hmm… the Plegian army will most likely expect us. Therefore, they'd have archer positioned on high vantage points. Sumia will have to stay back, I can't risk another archer taking aim." Robin quietly muttered to himself, looking over his strategies and notes, slowly succumbing to the effects of fatigue.
"Robin, is everything alright?" Robin spun round in surprise, but settled once he saw Sumia standing in the entrance to the tent. As she walked towards him, she tripped over a small rock, only to be caught in Robin's arms.
"Seems I'm not the only one who's tired." Robin joked, laughing lightly, Sumia joining in. The bond the two shared had recently blossomed into love, which had shown when pure luck caused an arrow to narrowly miss Robin, who'd attempted to take the hit for Sumia. "You can retire for the night if you wish; I still need to review this last part of the strategy."
"I wanted to talk to you about something, though." Sumia's voice broke his forming thoughts again.
"Very well, then what is it?"
"You don't have to do this all by yourself, you know. You have people like me to support you through this. I've never held the fate of an army in my hands, but if it gets stressful you have us to cheer you up. Besides, you've done so much for us, without even asking for a break. We all thank you for what you've done, me especially." Sumia's heart-warming smile appeared on her face.
"You especially? May I ask why?"
"Because you've given your heart to me, you've become my husband... plus, you helped me find worth in myself. You gave me the greatest gift you could ever give to me… and for that, I thank you." Sumia kissed Robin, embracing him tightly. "I'll be retiring for the night now, don't be up too late." Sumia gave him one last smile before leaving his tent.
A/N 2: Gaaaah so short. I should be ashamed of myself here. Anyway, I only named the MyUnit/Avatar Robin because that's his default name when you start a new file. Anyway, what did you think about this? Do you think I should add a chapter describing the moment when Robin took that arrow for Sumia? Remember, I'd appreciate your feedback! Yes, you!
