Thank you everyone for your patience, I'm sorry it took so long and I hope you can forgive me. Please enjoy chapter two!Chapter 2: The Sudden Confession

Lucina pulls you into your room to talk to you "it's all or nothing now…" she stops pulling you and turns to face you. "(Y/N)... I-" but you cut her off "Lucina, if it's to thank me then you don't need to. I did this on my own will so you don't have to worry anymore! It's fine" she almost wanted to tell you how she really felt but, Marcus opened the door. "Hey, me and Captain are going to grab a bite to eat, wanna come?" you looked at lucina, the question in his look. "Sure, that sounds lovely." she said, faking a smile. "But, wait. Wouldn't it be weird for Captain to be in public like this? I know Lucina has her own clothes to change into but what about him?" you ask this and Falcon looks at his clothes, then back to you and Marcus "I guess you're right… how about some Pizza?" Marcus asks. "Why not. By the way...what's Pizza?" Captain Falcon looks puzzled. "You'll find out soon enough."

About half of an hour later

"This looks… concerning. Are you sure that this is the right pizza (Y/N)?" Marcus asked, he had seen odd pizza's, but this takes the it up a notch! "What? I ordered a (favorite Pizza with extra (favorite topping)! This is just…wrong!" what did the delivery man give you? A double anchovy Pizza with broccoli! "Who would order such of an insult to Pizza's?!?!" you exclaim, falling on the floor and pounding the ground with comical agony. Lucina couldn't help it, she laughed. Not a "tehehe" laugh, no, she let out a full on *SNORT* and laughed hysterically! You looked up to see her laughing figure. You stood up "well, that was a disaster… now what?" you said. Marcus looks at his watch "I gotta get home, I need some sleep after today's events." he said along with a yawn. "Wait, Marcus" Captain said "don't leave me behind!" After they left.

Lucina looked at you just as you sat up from the floor. "so, what now (Y/N)?" Lucina asked, exhausted from the tension of earlier. "I don't know about you, but I'm tired Lucy…" you said. Lucina caught the nickname and blushed. You decided to head to your room and go to bed. Before you went in, lucina grabbed your waist and held you tight. "Wha- Lucina!" you said lightly "what is it? Are you scared?" Lucina looked down and nodded. "Yes but, there's something I want to tell you... " you looked at her, slightly confused. "yeah…?" She looked up and you noticed her blue eyes shining bright and her brand reflecting the dim T.V. light behind you. "I lo-" but she was cut off by a distinctive pair of lips falling lightly on hers. Her eyes widened at this new feeling, then closed as she remembered who she was with.

You had kissed Lucina.

You pulled away "I love you too...Lucy." her mind was fluttering and her heart was beating fast. "It's time to wake up now…" you said. She looked at you in the most confusing way possible. Just then, a strange force pushed her back and everything faded to black.

Just then, she jolted back awake from her dream. She looked around to see it was 1:15 AM. She also took notice of her surrounding area, which depicted of the T.V.'s dim light, the pizza that no one ate, and her lying on your lap in her comfy pajamas. She looked up at your lightly snoring figure, holding lucina with one of your hands around her stomach and another on the couch. 'It was only a dream' she whispered, a small tear falling down her cheek before she felt your hand move from her stomach to her face to wipe the tear away. She looks up and sees you awake "Bad dream?" you ask. She shakes her head "no, but it's nice to be here. Safe in your arms..." that last part was more of a mumble if anything. And she blushed after it. "is something wrong?" you ask, unsure if you did anything to upset her. "no, don't worry about it… can we go back to sleep?" she asks. "yeah. I'm still kinda tired…" and with that, you both fall back asleep.

The next day, you both agreed to take a break from smash and decide to go out for awhile. Lucina is in the kitchen while you are in the shower getting ready for the day. She makes a light breakfast for the two of you consisting of eggs with a side of toast. It wasn't much but she'd like to keep their meals light, especially on the go. You show up from the bathroom in a (f/c) shirt with a black jacket and navy blue jeans. While Lucina is wearing a short light blue dress with a small brand of the Exalt on the back of her dress. Only hiding in her sapphire hair. You ate your breakfast and headed out to start your day. Once you left, Lucina suggested that you two go to the movies. When you agreed she had the perfect one in mind "there was this movie I wanted to see." Lucina said "yeah? What would that be?" you asked. "It's called 'Flurry of Dancing Flames', It's an Action/Romance movie about two friends that gain the power of fire! Then they end up falling in love and defend their hometown together and I just think it's just so romantic!" Lucina exclaimed. "Really? I didn't know you like romance." you said, teasingly. You arrive at the theatres and order the tickets "Two tickets please", When you receive the tickets, you walk to your appointed theater room and take your seats right next to each other. While you watch the movie, you link hands with Lucina, earning a small gasp from her. She looks at you just as you looked at her, and you both look away from each other in a blushing mess, but you still held her hand. I was warm and comfortable to hold. "does she always feel this warm…?" you think to yourself.

Meanwhile, on the silver screen, the two characters win their final battle and and share a kiss to mark the end of the movie. And, as the credits play Lucina grabs her popcorn and you exit together. "hey, (Y/N)." she says, munching on the last little bits in her bucket. "Yes Lucina?" "thank you, again. Thank you so much… without you, I'd never would have thought about taking pleasure days like this… I just want you to know that." Lucina stops walking and faces you and you do the same. "Thanks Lucina, that truly means a lot to me." you both stare deeply at each other. "I uh, guess we should head home now." Lucina says, after briefly forgetting where they were. "Yeah, I think so" you both turn forward and head for the exit of the movie theater while chatting about the movie. "I just think it was so heroic of him to push her out of the way like that, you can tell they loved each other from the start!" she says as she throws away her popcorn bucket. "Yeah, it's details like that that get people so interested in movies and books." you hold the door for her and she walks out, but just before you walk out, a man gets past you before you could react. "oops, sorry man." he says before running out. "his voice… it sounds so familiar…" but you just brush it off as hearing things.

"Did you do it?" a voice in the shadows asks. "Yeah, they wont suspect a thing!" the man says "hey, step out of the shadows, they're gone now!" the man says. The person hiding walks out, revealing Marcus. "Perfect! Thanks for helping me with this Cap, it's still weird to see you without your helmet on…" Marcus says shaking Captain's hand. "once they walk past the park, we put our plan into motion!"

(y/n) pov

The walk was slow and quiet, but I didn't mind. Walking just like this with Lucina next to me felt oddly good… like we were supposed to be doing this. This wasn't really a date, it was just me and her hanging out, at least, that's what I think she sees it as. We walk past a park and the man from before is at the front. "step right up! Step right up! Carriage rides here!" I study the man and carriage in question "hey Lucina, Wanna take a ride?" I ask, pointing at the carriage. Her face lights up as she stares at it with childlike glee "yes! Yes of course!" we board the carriage and wait for the man to begin the ride.

The ride was long… very long i had been about thirty minutes of riding through the seemingly massive park and the air had gotten chilly. I look to my left to see Lucina shivering and trying to make heat through friction on her arms. "Here, take this." I say to her, taking off my jacket and placing it over her shoulders. She didn't dislike the gesture, but she was a little worried. "What about you, you could catch a cold!" "nevermind about me, you're the one that's cold right now." She has a slight rosy hue on her cheeks as she leans on my shoulder "thank you." she says, looking up at the stars with a small smile. "no problem…. Love…" I think to myself.

"...what?"

I look down to see Lucina staring at me. Did I say something? Sure I was thinking abo-

Oh…

Uhh…

"Was I…. Thinking out loud?" I ask, fearful of the answer.

"Um… yeah"

"So… you heard that…"

"Yes… I did"

"you… heard me say-"

"Love"

"Yeah…" we stare at each other for a minute before she looks away. Did I mess up? Is she mad at me? God I'm so embarrassed… I thought I was thinking to myself. What if our relationship takes a spiraling nosedive to the ground? What am I-

"I like it…" she says, putting a stop to my thoughts. "I thought my feelings were one sided… it's… comforting to know that you like me as well." she looks back at me and I feel a warm heat in my chest. "Lucina… I…" I can't find the words I want to say

"psst…"

I look forward to the man and he whispers: "check your pocket!" I just stare at him. Not knowing what to expect, I reach into my pocket and pull out an unfamiliar item. A shiny gold bracelet with a small sapphire gem in the middle of an engraving that says 'Hope will never die', I stare at him and he gives me a small thumbs up. I turn to Lucina and slip it on her wrist. "I want you to have this. I love you Lucina." I say with as much confidence as I can muster in that moment. She stares at the gold band in awe looking it up and down as small tears run down her cheeks. "I love you too (y/n). I love you so much!" she throws her arms around me as we hold each other in a tight embrace.

"I love you. And no matter what the future holds… I'm going to cherish every moment!"
