Hello everyone! Once again I am late for a Valentine's fanfic. But hey! This is Super Smash Bros again but I apologize for it not being Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer like last year.
A bit of trivia though is some of the scenes here were originally going to be part of a Little Mac/Wii Fit Trainer fanfic that I could never get on paper. The reason the main pairing here is Shulk and Robin is because Shulk is my main and Robin is my boyfriend's main, and my boyfriend plays as the female red Robin because red is his favorite color. Also, Xenoblade Chronicles is wonderful, don't fret, no spoilers here. And for the usual warning, this pairing contains a crack/crossover pairing, read at your own risk! And I have zero problem with the respective canon pairings, this is not meant to bash.
Disclaimer(s): Most of these characters belong to their respective Nintendo branch companies and...I don't where Shulk comes from but I do not claim him or the others as my own characters, this is just a fanfic made by a fan.
An 18 year old boy with scruffy blonde hair checked each fruit before placing them on top of an ice filled bowl along with an 18 year old girl with long blue hair. The night was perfect for the couple they were preparing for.
"This was a great idea Lucina, Reyn and I would've just prepared meat and potatoes." Shulk said.
"Well, fruit is a great thing to have during dinner," Lucina smiled.
A villager from Smashville with brunette hair prepared another white blanketed table. A female villager from the same village with pink hair used all her strength to lift a big pot filled with stew on to the table.
"Whoa Rosa!" The male villager cried. "I don't think Miss Fit Trainer would like to eat your fattening stew."
The female villager gave an annoyed sigh. "This stew is healthy."
"I doubt it! I can imagine Miss Fit Trainer's skinny form becoming a sphere after eating that! And Little Mac must eat healthy as well! No dark meats!"
The two villagers continued to bicker while Lucina bit her lip and Shulk smirked a bit.
"Where are those two anyway?" The female villager cried.
Both villagers looked at Shulk and Lucina.
"Not sure," Shulk said. "But after everything they've been through…"
Shulk stopped eyes wide with a certain possibility that came to his mind.
"Oh my," Lucina cried. "Well we cannot let the food go to waste," Lucina said.
Shulk stroked the back of his head. "Actually Lucina, have you seen Robin?" Shulk looked down.
"Probably reading again," Lucina said. "Or maybe not since the barracks need to be closed for cleaning, but that wouldn't stop Robin."
Shulk turned around and stared off at a distance, little did he know that Lucina smiled a bit having an idea of what he was thinking. "The night is beautiful though, she's got to be around here somewhere." Lucina said.
"I'll go to the shore," Shulk said.
Shulk ran off, ignoring the others completely for the female tactician with red hair.
Robin smiled as she watched the purple waves move back and forth calmly on the sand, finally feeling to herself that she had seen the perfect star lit night as if finally finding the ripest apple. She reminded herself to praise Princess Rosalina for the wonderful stars tonight, she held herself as a cool breeze blew through her legs and face, despite her being fully clothed. The woman didn't mind though, it was one of those more tolerable cool evenings.
The woman walked on the damp sand making light foot prints, and narrowly avoided the ice cold ocean water. She thought she heard her footsteps become more intense, she loved the sound, but then she realized they only overlapped with someone else's.
Robin turned around slowly and saw the young Monado wielder. Shulk's mouth dropped a bit, but then he smiled along with her.
"Shulk!" Robin cried.
"Robin," Shulk stroked the back of his hair again.
"What brings you here?" Asked the red haired woman.
"I was looking for Wii Fit Trainer and Little Mac, we, that is, Lucina, Rosa and Miles prepared a banquet for them, after all they've been through, and what they have become…" Shulk blushed a bit.
Robin placed her hand on her heart. "I'm really sorry I could not help all of you, but I am happy you all came back safely, and Lucina, she is like a daughter to me, thank you for being such good friends with her."
"Yes, she is a wonderful friend," Shulk said.
Robin turned around and stared into the ocean.
"Robin?" Shulk asked.
"One moment," Robin said.
Robin's voice didn't sound very upbeat and confident in that moment, it sounded a bit more pained.
Shulk reached his hand for her shoulder but stopped, and then completely flailed away seeing Robin's pained face. He knew she tried her hardest to not to look sad in front of him.
"Shulk, can you stay with me for awhile?" Robin asked.
Shulk could not resist seeing the candy red headed woman's pleading face mixed in with the purple night sky, he nodded softly. "Sure."
They walked together, spread out a bit though. Robin occasionally talked about seashells and sand castles while Shulk occasionally talked about extreme swimming, he blushed happily when Robin showed interest and even more so that he was able to make the night a little less unpleasant for her.
He remembered when Reyn gave him advice from his experience with Sharla. It also taught Shulk that feelings for an older woman are complicated, but can work out. Then again, Robin is 22, but she and he could talk on equal ground, anyone could get along with Robin.
Shulk was behind Robin at one point and he watched her mostly stare at the ground as she walked, looking up at the sky Shulk looked for something to point at, then two stars close together shined brighter than all the others.
"Robin, look," Shulk said.
Robin tilted her head up, she noticed the stars as well but sighed. But she also saw two things heading their way.
"Something's coming," Robin said.
Shulk drew his Monado in an instant, which shocked Robin as she didn't consider it a threat. She admired Shulk's fire inside him though so she grabbed her spell book and prepared for a fight.
As the two objects flew closer to them they dropped their guards. Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer flew through the stars and were landing on the shore Shulk and Robin were on.
Shulk and Robin took steps back as Little Mac screamed in joy from the rush of flight and both fighters landed making a miniature sand storm. Robin covered her eyes with her cloak, despite the sand Shulk stayed wide eyed.
"Hey guys!" Little Mac said.
"Hello Little Mac," Robin said with a blank face.
Shulk said nothing.
"Are you ok, Shulk?" Wii Fit Trainer asked.
Shulk blinked. "Where have you guys been, exactly? You said you would meet up with me Lucina, Rosa, and Miles."
Little Mac blushed. "We got distracted by the stars Rosalina made and used the star warps to fly through the sky, it was fun!"
Shulk sighed, "And we worked so hard on the banquet too."
Wii Fit Trainer smiled but said nothing, Little Mac knew what his lady friend wanted, and hopefully their friends were thoughtful enough to prepare healthy foods.
"Well we can apologize and say we were just running late," Little Mac put simply.
"I suppose," Shulk said.
Little Mac held his arm out like a gentle man and the taller trainer locked her arms with his, the two walked away from Shulk and Robin.
Shulk wished he and Robin could walk hand and hand, he turned to her and she had a blank expression on her face. "I know you aren't invited but I'm sure those guys won't argue if you wanted a small bite."
"I'm fine," Robin said. The woman hugged herself.
Shulk stared at Little Mac and Wii Fit Trainer acting cute and laughing as they walked like a couple. "Cheers to them," Shulk whispered in a sad tone.
Robin turned around quickly and gave an upset grunt, she took a few steps away.
Shulk was devastated, part of him felt he should leave her be but his pained eyes could not stand to see her this way.
"I'm sorry, Robin. I know it hurts." Shulk said.
Fierce wind blew around them and Robin turned her head to and slightly stared at Shulk with a glare. Her candy apple red hair looked like it would break free from its ties and grow violent with the wind.
Shulk would've held her and kissed her bright red hair, but she looked offensive right now all around her from hair to body gestures.
Yeah, I don't even know how this turned out depressing but I went with it, I feel I made this a bit less cliche. I hope you guys enjoy this oneshot.
That being said this will probably most likely stay a oneshot for now...And on another important notice, whatever I post in the future may just be oneshots or short multichapter fanfics (give or take) for now since recently life decided to kick me in the face some more and I had to sacrifice time I could use for writing. I just so happened to write this oneshot during miraculous moments where I thankfully got to do what I love the most to cool my jets but I may not be so lucky in the future.
But this is still a valentine's fanfic for my boyfriend so let's cut the negative stuff short. I believe I ended up making Shulk more like my boyfriend and Robin more like me, but I guess it works haha! This is Emiko Gale signing off and happy belated Valentine's day.
