Summary: "She's everything to you, isn't she?"
A/N: WELL I SURE HATED THIS PROMPT WITH ALL OF MY HEART AND SOUL. This was a hard prompt because everyone here is kind of ooc. I really can't do Owain's flowery speech so I tried to avoid it. And yeah, Severa is a bit overprotective of Lucina here because I ship them too. Um. this is my first time writing for these characters so I apologize for the slight oocness presented in them. I thought about rewriting this but I'm already really late with updating this so this is what you get. The next one will be better, I promise. I say that all the time though haha. I am my biggest critic.
And sorry about being really late updating this. Currently, I am looking for a job and my sister and her husband are living with us for the time being so it's been really busy! Plus my writing mood has been a bit on the edge and I needed a break. Updating every day is hard work.
Enjoy? I guess?
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Robin frowned and slightly shifted his body a bit. They had recently recruited a lot of Lucina's friends from the future but with everything that's been going on, they didn't have time to sit and chit chat.
Now that they had time, Lucina had suggested an outing for most of them. It was mostly Inigo, Cynthia, Owain and Severa that wanted to meet Robin. The other kids were busy doing their own thing, probably using their free time to spend with their parents.
"It'll be fine, Robin." Lucina smiled at her fiancé and leaned over to press a kiss against his cheek. He still looked pretty uncomfortable. "Do you not want to meet them?"
Running his fingers through his hair, he sighed. "I do want to get to know them." He was afraid that they wouldn't accept him. He had seen Severa eyeing him, watching him with Lucina. He knew Inigo was watching him as well, considering Lucina was his older sister. Cynthia and Owain seemed to be alright with him, though.
With another sigh, he stood up and smiled softly. "Alright, let's go."
"Oh! Oh! Lucy, look over there!"
Cynthia pulled Lucina away from Robin's side and proceeded to drag her to the nearest store. Even though Cynthia had shed most of her femininity away, she seemed to have gained it back when she was around Lucina ( Inigo had explained that it was because Lucina was "elegant" and "ladylike", that Cynthia felt like she had to be the same way ).
Now Robin was left alone with Inigo, Owain and Severa as they did some window shopping. He couldn't help but feel nervous with Inigo and Severa eyeing him. Owain eased him a bit, but it was still not enough.
Finally, Inigo decided to break the ice. "So, you and my sister are a thing." He didn't break the ice well but Robin had to give him points for trying. He knew that he was uncomfortable as well - here he was, with a man claiming to be Lucina's fiancé.
Robin was a stranger to all of them. Yet, he wanted them to like him as well. He was the tactician and of course, he was courting the Exalt in their timeline.
"Yeah," the tactician quietly said with a small smile, "Me and Lucina."
"Colour me shock, to be honest," Severa piped in, not looking at Robin just yet, "I never thought she would actually get with someone."
"Huh? Is she that uptight in the future?"
"Not exactly," Owain had dropped his fancy speech, mainly because Severa threatened to punch him in the face. "My cousin takes her work very seriously. Ah, but I can't help but admire her hard work. Such a way of a hero..."
A sound of pain was let out as Severa nudged him a bit, before he could break out into a heroic speech. Inigo ignored them and continued to speak with his future brother-in-law.
"Yeah, she's always told me she had no time for romance. So I was a bit surprised when she announced that she was getting married after the war was over." He still was a bit nervous, though he acted cool. He wasn't sure if Robin was the right person for his sister.
He didn't want her hurt. Seeing her in such a state would break his heart.
Robin laughed a bit, "Trust me, you weren't the only one surprised." He still couldn't get over the face Chrom had made when he asked him for Lucina's hand in marriage.
"She's everything to you, isn't she?" Severa's voice surprised him. Robin thought for a minute before nodding his head at her, even though she couldn't see him.
"She is. I can't explain how happy I am to be with her." He looked off to the side, watching Lucina and Cynthia. The princess's eyes locked with his and she smiled softly, waving at him - which he returned.
He loved her so much. Seeing her happy and loved made his heart flutter a bit. Inigo and Owain watched them for a moment, with Lucina's brother relaxing his shoulders a bit.
"I think if I ever lost my memories again, I would fall in love with her again. No matter how many times, I would always look towards her."
The group fell silent for a bit. The silence was broken with Inigo's sniffling. Lucina had mentioned Inigo was a bit of a cry baby but Robin had no idea he was this bad.
"That... That was beautiful! Maybe I should use that on the ladies next time I go out. They eat that stuff up. Say, maybe I should use it on the girl in the tea shop, I-"
As Inigo rambled on, Severa finally turned around to face Robin and spoke to him in a low voice, "Listen, tactician, I won't forgive you if you hurt Lucina." She would never admit it, but Lucina had always been there for her, as a support system and a friend. "And if you tell anyone I said this, I will hurt you!"
At first, Robin thought about taking her seriously but a smile started to form on his face as he leaned forward. "Oh? It sounds like I have some competition for her heart. Very well, I won't lose to you."
At first, she said nothing. Slowly, her cheeks started to redden once she realized what he meant. "I-I don't like her like that!"
Robin leaned back, the smile still on his face. "Relax, I'm only kidding. I won't hurt her. I love her, a lot. I mean my words and I can promise you, she's in good hands."
"... Hmph."
The two decided to quiet down when Cynthia and Lucina returned to them. "Sorry about that. What's going on?"
"Oh, nothing in particular," Inigo wrapped an arm around Lucina with a grin. "Your boyfriend was just telling us how special you were to him."
Lucina blushed and quickly looked down at her feet. The Pegasus Knight couldn't help but pout a bit, "Aw, what did he say?"
"It was a heroic poem," Owain posed as he spoke, "about no matter how many times he lost his memory he would fall in love with my dear cousin all over again!"
Cynthia couldn't help but coo a bit and Severa made a face ( though deep down, she couldn't help but find that romantic. Her friend sure did pick a sweet one ). As for Lucina, she was silent for a bit.
"Th-That's..." The princess broke out of Inigo's embrace and chased after her lover. "That's embarrassing! Why would you even say that?!" Robin said nothing, only laughed as Lucina proceeded to tackle him.
The four watched them. Inigo turned to the others, hands in his pockets. "Well, I approve of him. I was a little skeptical, mainly because a guy like him has got to be popular with the ladies, but his words seem sincere."
His cousin nodded in agreement, and Cynthia did as well. Severa said nothing, only flipping her hair a bit. "Hmph, he has to prove himself a bit more to me."
"Oh come on, Severa! Give the poor guy a break!"
Before they could continue their discussion, Robin trotted back to the group with Lucina on his back. She was smiling, her arms wrapped around his neck. "Sorry about that. What were we talking about?"
While they continued to chat, Severa had focused on Lucina and how happy she looked. She focused on how loving the couple was. He really did make her friend happy.
The redhead mercenary huffed a bit and turned around. Maybe this guy was good for her friend. He made her happy.
Seeing Lucina happy was all they ever wanted.
