Ok my HM: MM fic. I suspect most people reading this is going to expect the main character to sleep with everyone in the village. Well guess what turn your ass around and find another story. I don't do mindless smut thank you.
Now for those who will continue to read by choice or curiosity I am not going in to great detail of the character's appearance because well if you play the game you know who they are and what they look like. If I put them in different clothing for one reason or another then yes I will be more descriptive with their clothes.
The sun was up the Rooster had crowed and a fine fog covered the land as far as one could see. She stared out the window and looked across the land that her father had tilled and made grow in to a wondrous farm. A tear slipped from her eye as she slowly stood up and walked away from the window and out of the room.
She walked out of the room looking back in. It was empty and cold as was the rest of the house as she walked through heading out side. She stood quietly outside look of the land and slowly dropped her head. The land her father made prosperous died when he did. The flower garden her mother grew died when she did. Nothing was left in the farm.
The Horse was old and couldn't run in the races or even pull a cart. The sheep were sold one by one off to other farmers because she could not care for all of them. The cows grew old and stopped giving milk, they too were sold off. The dog was old and so passed like her father and mother leaving her all alone. With nothing left she sold the farm to the neighboring farms to be used and made prosperous again.
This was moving day and all she had was what she had in her room that she didn't sell. She was moving to a small town to start a new life. She didn't know what she wanted to do with her life but she was defiantly going to try. Even the thought of growing her own farm and family came to mind though she knew such a task would be very hard. She was going out on her own with nothing more than a few dollars in her pocket, a few house hold Items and the clothes on her back.
She stood tall and proud hiding the sadness with her so the other round her could not see. She hid the tears behind her green eyes and mouse brown hair that hung in her face. She wore simple clothes for her long journey ahead of her, Blue Denim shorts, white shirt, and pink vest. Around her neck she had tied her father's favorite neckerchief that he wore when he farmed. She hoped that it would give her the luck that her father said it gave him. As she hoped she heard the sound of a nearing horse and cart.
A Large man on a large cart pulled in to the farm and stopped before looking over at her. He jumped down and walked over to her. He was a monster of a man standing almost a foot and a half taller then she and she was five feet four inches. Each of his arms was could easily be as big around as her body. He had a black hair shaved in to a somewhat tall crew cut and big brown eyes. Dressed in a white tank top and simple denim jean the only mark that stood out on his body was the flame tattoo on his arm.
"Howdy, you must be Robin." He had a deep rough voice that fit his look. He extended his hand and engulfed her in a friendly hand shake. "The name is Bob it is nice to meet ya."
"Likewise, It's nice to meet you too Bob." She smiled warmly up to him. "You are from Flower Bud Village?
"That I am Lil'Lady." Bob smiled. "Here to help you move. I see you don't have too much to move so why don't we get the cart loaded and get you over there.'
Bob lifted a disassembled bed and mattress in to the back of the cart fallowed by a small television, chair, table, and chest. Robin tossed a back pack and two large sacks in to the back of the cart then climbed on to the front with a little lift from Bob. Bob threw a tarp over the load then jumped on to the front and taking the reign. With a quick snap the horses jerked and pulled the cart around and out of the farm down the road and out of the town. She was going to miss this town but it grew faster than she did so she was sure it wasn't going to miss her.
"So lil'missy. Why did you want to leave home?" Bob looked down to her in a side glance making sure she was alright and willing to talk because it was a long ride to her home, by himself. He didn't want the ride back to be just as long.
"I didn't feel like it was home any more after my mom and dad past. After that I couldn't care for the farm or the animals." She sighed heavily and leaned on the arm rest of the cart's seat.
"That's sad. How did they die, if you don't mind me asking?" Bob looked ahead steering the cart around a few holes in the road.
"Dad caught pneumonia and didn't get better, Mom and I cared for the farm, but her health went bad, I believe she died of heart break" Robin lifted a small silver locket from her neck and opened it looking to the pictures on the inside.
Bob leaned over and looked at the pictures. Her father was a good looking guy with short brown hair and big brown eyes. Her mother was beautiful with long brown hair held back with a green kerchief, and warm grey eyes. She closed her eyes and slowly closed the locket. Bob smiled and reached to his back pocket pulling out a clean white handkerchief offering it to her. She nodded taking it then dried the oncoming tears quickly.
"We will have a small break when we reach the top of the trail. It will be about noon then." Bob spoke as he looked ahead once more.
The trip to the top of the trail was not so bad a little long because they were not talking or doing anything. They stopped as he fed the horses and gave them water by the nearby pond. Robin went to the back of the cart and grabbed a bag and opened it pulling out a small plastic box. She closed the bag and walked to the front of the cart. Bob looked over and held out a sandwich to her.
Robin smiled and opened her plastic box and showed what she had. They both packed lunch for themselves and the other. Robin wasn't planning on stopping for lunch so she made some for both of them figuring he didn't pack a lunch. Bob figured she wasn't expecting a break so she wouldn't pack anything not knowing it was a long trip. Bob only laughed out and shook his head tossing the sandwich back in to his bag.
They finished lunch quickly and got back to traveling. There trip started around ten o'clock A.M. There break was at about twelve o'clock P.M. It was around one-thirty P.M. when the town of Flower Bud came in to view. Bob pointed over and she looked over. He explained that from forest line to forest line, and from mountain to ocean was Flower Bud. It was a small village but one could still walk the entire perimeter of the town in a little over five hours.
'So that is Flower Bud. I like it already. So how many people live there?" Robin looked over watching the town.
"Hmm let me think. About thirty or so I never had to think about it really. Oh you will get to meet everyone real soon, even my girl Gwen." Bob chimed out quickly and smiled brightly giving her a nudge "So you will have to resist flirting with me!"
"Yea, what a loss, I am so heartbroken." Robin smiled to him for the first time since she left her home.
"Hey, a smile and a cute one at that!" Bob laughed "Looks good on you, hope to see you smiling around town. The other in town will agree too."
Robin smiled and nodded as they passed under an arch that entered the town. Bob pulled the cart around and in to a large area with tables set up and streamers hung everywhere. The people in the square turned and looked to Bob and Robin as they entered. Some rushed over, others walked over calmly, and others just didn't move.
"Welcome to Flower Bud!" A portly man in a red suit and black hat cheered out to her. "I am Theodore. I am the Mayor of this here town. And I welcome you to the Flower Bud Family. Please join us in celebrating your arrival and the New Year!"
"Thank you" Robin smiled brightly and jumped off the cart. "But I would like to see my house because and make sure everything is put in first."
"Oh about that, we have three lots of land that we can make a house for you on. Where would you like it?" Theodore spoke pulling her over to the map in the square. "Right here by the ocean, it's a rather large lot too. Here by the river it's the smallest of the three lots, but boy George you can grow anything there. And lastly hear by the clinic, it's a decent sized lot and it's near the more populated part of town."
"Uh, um… I like the one by the river. Is not too big and it will be really quiet" Robin smiled warmly feeling welcomed in to the village but at the same time already a burden. If she knew the house needed to be built she would have came down before leaving her old home to help build it. "Thank you so much."
A tall man with dirty blond hair and mustache wearing a brown argyle sweater walked over and smiled to her and smiled. Next to him stood a girl with blonde hair in a white tube top with a blue jean vest and skirt and next to her was Bob. The girl smiled and extended her hand.
"Hey! My name is Gwen! This is Doug we run the Inn." Gwen's voice was a bit sharp on the ear though she was nice and smiled again shaking Robin's hand.
"You will be staying at our Inn for the next night or so until the house is built." Doug talked very monotone like seeming tired and worn out.
"Thank you, very much!" Robin smiled. "Please tell me how much so I can pay in advance."
"Nonsense, Think of it as a welcoming gift from the town to you as well as the house." Theodore broke out quickly as he had already arranged everything. "Now go mingle get to know everyone shoe!"
Robin smiled a bit as Gwen took her around the shoulders and walked her around the square to a group of girls and boys. Bob fallowed behind them smiling feeling bad for Robin because she was being dragged about like a rag doll in Gwen's hands.
"Hey guys this is Robin. Robin these are Carl, the blond in the black vest, Basil in the feathered hat, Ray with the fishing pole, Dan the Pirate looking one." Gwen pointed each boy out making Robin giggle. "Luis is the one with glasses, Blue with the ball cap, Joe and his star bandana and lastly Alex the doctor in the town."
The boys waved one by one to Robin and smiled seeing her smile at them. They told her where each worked, lived, or tended to hang out in case she wanted to join them or need them for something. She smiled to Joe as he pointed out his master Woody, a balding man with a white beard and head band. She nodded thanking him again as he was one of the few that would be working on her house. Gwen pulled her from the boys and over to the girls to introduce her to them.
"Girls Look who I got!" Gwen sang out and the girls spun quickly and opened there circle for the two to join while Bob escaped back to the boys.
"Hello, my name is Robin." Robin spoke with a smile and a wave to the girls.
"Hi Robin, my name is Katie, and this is Maria, Lyla, and Gina." Katie spoke out quickly and introduced three girls who just smiled and waved politely. "Maria is Theodore's daughter, Gina works with Alex, and Lyla runs a little novelty store.
"Hey Robin, I am Ellen, this is Ann to my right, and Nina, and Eva to my left. I work at the ranch with Blue, Bob, and Hank the man dressed in the red cow boy suit. That will be across the road from you, Ann work in the junk shop with her father Michael." Ellen smiled and pointed to a blue hair man in a yellow shirt then looked to Eva as she spoke up.
"Yes I work at the bar at night with Duke, the man with the grey hair and purple vest over there." Eva's voice was like velvet. "And Nina here works on a farm south of your house I believe."
"Yup just south near Woody's house, with my mom, Liz She is over there with the green ribbon in her hair. We sell seeds and vegetables and Fruit." Nina was very chipper and excited. "Oh I also live hear the Black smith Tai, he has goggles and wild grey hair, he lives with his grandson Tim, and he is the little kid you will see running around with a hard hat on."
"Yea he will go up and visit Meryl, the little girl with pig tails Clutched to the large man's pants. That is Ronald, nice guy though his sense of fashion is bad with the multi color shirt." Gwen spoke and Katie agreed with a sour face.
"Who else did we forget?" Eva spoke softly
"Martha, the old lady that works with Alex" Gina spoke up ever so softly. "Saibara, the man in the blue robes over there and Terry, the old hunter in the woods."
"Yea, well we also got the Gourmet man and Nami but they don't live here they just visit occasionally." Ann spoke quickly thinking. "The Gourmet is a fat man that wears a purple and yellow suit, and Nami is a bright red head on the weather channel."
The group of girls chatted and laughed out a lot. The time grew close to six at night and the sun was setting. A large fire was lit in the middle of the town square and music was playing. The couple around the town got together and danced around the fire. A few couples gathered off to the side to talk not wanting to dance. Bob, Gwen, Alex, Gina, and Robin sat together and talked amongst themselves.
"Robin if you feel tired or ill come to the clinic for a checkup. Or buy a bit of medicine so you don't get sick. Take it easy on rainy days even if you're not working outside" Alex was talking to Robin telling her how to keep healthy and happy.
"Alex, I am sure she will come when she feel she needs to." Gina spoke softly, making Alex smile kindly down to her. "Sorry Robin, he is just a health nut and he worries, a lot."
"It is ok Gina. I am glad someone will be worried about my health. I know I won't remember." Robin laughed poking a little fun making Gwen and Bob snicker. Robin took a sip of her drink as her eyes scanned the room. "Mmm, who is that over there?" She pointed to a young man dressed in a poncho and cowboy hat.
"That's Jamie. He is a bit of a loner but still nice. He is the only Farmer, Rancher in town." Bob spoke up and crossed his arms.
"But I though Gina and her mom ran a farm, and you worked on a Ranch," Robin questioned "Did I miss something?"
"No, no. Jamie does both, were we do not. He is the only one that does both. But he has some of the best product too. His cow, sheep, and chicken won all the contests last year. His horse even won the races." Bob snorted a bit not liking that bit of information. "He even won for the best produce. And he won't share a single bit of advice as to how he does it."
Gwen patted Bob's arm gently to calm him down. She knew how he felt. His horse lost the race as did hers to him. She closed her eyes and laid her head on his arm before he moved and wrapped his arm around her. They made a cute couple to what Robin thought but she didn't say anything.
Robin placed her elbow on her knee then her head in her hand watching the couples. She took a deep breath seeing how happy they all were. After thinking about it she sighed realizing that everyone in town was here and there were no eligible bachelors except Jamie. Though she was not sure if he was single or not, she wasn't going to ask. She took a deep breath and turned her head away to the side and jumped seeing another man standing at the end of the large bench. Her movements made the others look over.
"Oh, it's you. Why are you here? Planning on ruining this party too?" Gwen bit out quickly as Bob frowned at the man. Gwen stood and moved between him and Robin. "Go on get, we don't need you chasing off her like you did the last person that came here"
"Hmm." The man turned and walked away. His hair was spiked and held back with a camouflage bandana. His vest coat fluttered back slightly as he walked away turned his head back getting a stomp and point from Gwen. He walked over to Woody and stood quietly behind him.
"Who was that, Gwen?" Robin asked curiously. She wanted to know why Gwen was so mean to him.
"That was Kurt, just think of him as a dog not worth your time. He is a big jerk. The last person who came here he chased off." She crossed her arms sitting back down next to Bob.
"How? What did he do?" Robin spoke softly
"Well though he wasn't found truly guilty of the acts he was caught doing one. The last person that came here was a good kid. He was going to start a farm here and picked some land near town, now Lyla owns the land." Alex spoke softly feeling a little upset because he couldn't help. Taking a deep breath he continued. "The kid was doing great got a good field going every time he never gave up, First plants were stepped on, then shredded, pulled out, but the last straw was when the landed was salted just as a rain storm started."
"The boy thought he saw someone in his field and called Bob and a few others to catch them. They all ran in to the field and found Kurt standing in the middle of the field holding a large empty box of salt." Gina picked up the story from Alex it was hard for him. "Kurt said it wasn't him over and over but the evidence pointed to him because he was there with the salt box. Unfortunately because no one saw him pouring the salt we couldn't blame him for everything. After that the boy tried to keep the plants but once they withered he left, said his good bye and left."
Robin looked down and shook her head. Did Kurt not like the man? Did he just not like farmers? This Kurt person man her very curious and she wasn't even there a night. She decided to think about it in the morning and go to her lot to help them work on her house. She might be a girl but she knows how to use a hammer, and many other tools because of her dad.
The party drew to an end and people started heading home. Bob, Dan, Eva, Ann, and Robin stayed a bit longer till the fire burned out to almost nothing then smothered it. Dan put his arm around Eva and Ann walking them home or rather them walking him home because he was drunk again. Bob shook his head and escorted Robin to the Inn before nodding to Doug. He looked to Gwen who was dragging herself out of her room to say goodnight and show Robin where she could sleep.
Robin smiled when her door shut. Her bags were in the room and she was alone. Standing up she went to the bathroom and started the shower. She washed quickly and got ready for bed. She walked back out to her room and found Kurt perched in the window of the room. She backed away quickly looking for the door handle for her room.
"I am not what they think." Kurt's voice was deep and had a sad tone to it that made her heart skip a beat.
"What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" Robin looked to him shaking slightly she was scared.
"I came to warn you. If you plan to start anything watch your back." That was all he said as he leaned out the window and dropped from the second floor down to the ground.
Robin ran to the window and looked out to see him walking away quickly with his hands in his pockets. She wasn't sure if he threatened her or not. She growled and punched the window sill.
"How dare he?" She growled out and turned her back to the window after shutting it. "I am going to take that as a challenge. Saying Farming or ranching here will be impossible. I will show him a thing or two about farming and then some." Robin got in to be in huff still upset by what he said. She will show him and everyone what she could do. But for now she needs to sleep.
She got in to her bed and relaxed then hummed softly. She rolled to her side and curled up in to a ball under the warm blankets. She had a lot to do the next day and was not going to give in to anyone or anything. She smiled and closed her eyes letting sleep take over her tired body.
Clattering dishes and a squeaky door woke Robin up in the morning. She stretched out in the bed rolling to her stomach and hugging her pillow before turning her head to the door. Gwen stood and looked to Robin holding a large tray of breakfast. Robin pushed herself up and sat on her feet letting out a yawn stretching again.
"Here you go." Gwen placed the tray down. "What do you plan to do today?"
"I think I am going to go help the works with my home. Keep myself busy." Robin smiled up to Gwen. "Besides, I would feel bad if I didn't help at least a little."
"Well best of luck to you with that then. I will send a package with you then for the workers" Gwen walked from the room to go and put the package together.
Robin at quickly before grabbing her bag and opening it up. She pulled out a blue jean skort and a matching blue jean vest. She quickly pulled out a white shirt and dressed. She pulled a pair of clean socks on her boots and followed her outfit up with her father's red bandana around her neck.
She smiled and lifted it to her nose inhaling slowly. It still smelled like him. Like warm oats and fresh cut grass after a rain shower. She smiled grabbed her old rucksack that she got when she was only ten and pulled in on to her back. She walked out of the room and headed down the stairs and to the inn bar. Robin smiled to Doug waving getting a nod.
Gwen came out of the kitchen holding a large box about a foot high ten ichest wide and eight inches long. She only smiled and placed it on the counter before taking a deep breath glad she was fast enough that Robin didn't have to wait all that long.
"What is this Gwen?" Robin looked over it to her.
"Lunch now hurry up. Go on. You want to help them you can at least not show up late." Gwen Turned back in to the kitchen and hurried back out with a large three gallon cooler jug. "Take this too. They will thank you for it later."
Robin smiled and lifted the box and the jug before heading out. They were both heavy but not so heavy she couldn't lift them. She walked down the path before putting the box down and pulling out her small town map and taking a peek. She smiled and noted she was close just need to turn right and straight up across the bridge.
When she arrived at the sight she saw Woody looking over a set of papers. Bob, Joe, Kurt, and Basil all worked on the land digging out the land for the foundation of the house. She smiled and waved as she saw Basil lift his head. He waved back and the other looked to him before looking up smiling. Kurt looked up and then back doing continuing with his work.
"Hi Woody." Robin cheered out as she put the cooler jug on a tree stump and the box next to it.
"Hello, what brings you down here las?" Woody looked over to her through his bushy eye brows.
"I came to help and I brought lunch I believe." Robin smiled and patted the box. "What can I help with?"
"Well if you want to help grab a shovel or a hoe start digging the land out in the box so we can pour the foundation." Woody directed before he went back to his papers.
Robin smiled and pulled a hoe from the tools leaning against a saw horse. She took a deep breath and moved in to the box careful not to trip and just like the other four starts working on clearing the land out. She worked hard and was going to earn the right to live in the house that was going to be built.
