Cordelia held her book tight to her chest. She felt the thump of her heart. It's pace skipping and dancing in her chest. She stood in front of a tent way. In her arms, a freshly lay spear laid. She gulped and entered the tent.
The sun shined in the sky. Cordelia walked up to a blue haired man. She found herself talking but the words did not have any weight. She spoke them without heart. Chrom smiled at her and responded.
I can do this. Cordelia gulped. She began to speak to Chrom. She felt her heart skip.
Cordelia watched as the words fell from his lips. They fell short and hit softly. They carried little as they traveled off her lips. Cordelia handed him her spear. She listened to her heart's sluggish and tired beat.
He glanced at the metalworking. She tightened her grip on the book in her hands. The cover was covered with a tan leather casing.
She listened to him speak and searched his eyes as he looked over the spear. She heard her heart slow and calm. Chrom handed her back her spear. Cordelia felt herself bow and walk away.
As the flap closed behind her, she gritted her teeth and ran from the tent. She huffed as she pushed herself farther and farther from the tent.
Why did I do anything?
Cordelia tightened her grip on the book. The leather cover loosened.
Why was that so simple?
Cordelia gritted her teeth as she felt her heart speed up.
Why didn't I feel?
Cordelia ran up a hill at full pace. She felt her muscles burn as she pushed up the hill.
Why didn't I ask?
Cordelia stopped at the top of a hill. She looked up at the setting sun. It's bright orange and red hues.
Why didn't I…
Cordelia slammed her spear into the earth. She felt the wind pass her. Her lips curved down.
Why didn't he have it…
Cordelia closed her eyes as she remembered a pair of purple eyes.
Why didn't I see it…?
She remembered how his lips formed a grin.
Why…
Cordelia dropped the book to the ground. Its leather cover fluttered in the wind.
"Why couldn't I see myself in the blue?" She shouted.
"Why didn't I feel like they could see right through me?" Cordelia held herself as she glanced at the ground. Cordelia grabbed the spear in hand.
Maybe I should just give up on this… Cordelia sighed. Maybe with this throw, I can end my heart's discontent. She took a step forward as she felt a hand grab her arm.
"Why are you throwing that lance?" A familiar voice spoke. Cordelia turned to see Robin smiling at her. He let go of her arm and looked towards the sunset. "Would be a waste and it would be rather rude to the sun. She's shining her love on us right now." Robin closed his eyes as the sunlight's heat washed over them and cooled with the wind.
"I was thinking that I can't be the best knight I could be unless I let go of my past," Cordelia sighed. She smiled slightly at Robin. "Let go of all these feelings that keep me tied down." She felt her heart thump against her chest." Robin grinned at her and laughed.
"You don't say?" Robin placed his hand on his hip, "I dare say you're right. Let's see how far you can toss those feelings." Cordelia paused as she looked at Robin's purple eyes. She nodded as she threw the spear towards the sky.
With a thump the spear flew across the horizon. Robin crossed his arms and grinned.
"Quite an arm you got there," Robin chuckled, "Or maybe I should say that's quite a heart you got." Cordelia turned to Robin.
"What do you mean?" Cordelia watched as Robin smirked.
"The first statement? Or the last one?" Robin chuckled.
"Well," Robin turned to Cordelia. She felt herself get lost in his eyes. "I know you don't like being called genius so I'll leave that one alone." Robin grabbed her hand and placed it against his chest.
"But if that spear carried all your past emotions," Cordelia felt his heart beat in tune with hers. Robin smiled at her, "It means you have so much love to give." Cordelia felt her face heat up. Her rosy lips curved up as she smiled at him.
"How can you say that?" Cordelia felt her lip quiver.
"Because I can feel that love whenever I am around you," Robin stated. Robin turned back towards the sky. Cordelia gulped.
"R-Robin!" Cordelia ran at him. Robin turned as she crashed into him. She felt tears fall down her cheeks. The tears fell on to Robin's grey shirt. She looked at him. Her fingers dug into the ground. Robin placed his hand on her cheek. He wiped away her tear. "I…" Robin sat up and stared into Cordelia's red eyes.
"What is it?" Robin whispered. "I want to hear you." Robin grinned. "I want to hear your voice." Cordelia held Robin's face.
"I love you!" She shouted at him. Cordelia kissed Robin and pushed him to the ground. She gasped for air as she looked at Robin.
"I love you, too." He whispered.
This wasn't really meant to be anything more than a single oneshot that started and stopped but since I didn't put a complete mark on it I decided to finish the short piece with an extra part.
Enjoy
