Summary: He closed his eyes and sighed and realized he couldn't ignore this topic any longer. It was something that haunted his mind for a while – ever since he joined his father's army.
A/N: So this is a bit different. This drabble is set in an alternate universe where Robin is female and Lucina is male. Her name is Lucian in this one. Chrom is still male just for plot reasons.

I'm currently out of state right now so I have no idea when the next drabble will be. Maybe tomorrow, maybe when I get back on Thursday. Who knows. Enjoy!

"You're going to overwork yourself."

The female tactician jumped once she heard a voice, turning around and letting out a sigh of relief when she realized it was just her fiancé. "Lucian," she started to say, sitting back down in her seat, "You scared me."

"Sorry, milady," he said, walking in the tent, "I have a bad habit of coming in unannounced." He was about to say he had a few other bad habits but he decided to keep quiet. Robin simply smiled and closed her book.

"Anyways, I'm not going to overwork myself or whatever. You know how your father is with tactics." While Chrom was smart, drawing up plans was not a strong trait of his and he mostly left it to his tactician. "Besides, it's my job."

Lucian was quiet for a few minutes, causing Robin to worry a bit. "Lucian? What's wrong?"

He didn't speak at first. A hand reaches up to his head, his skinny fingers running through the blue locks gently. He closed his eyes and sighed and realized he couldn't ignore this topic any longer. It was something that haunted his mind for a while – ever since he joined his father's army.

"I always wonder why you didn't marry my father." He spoke quietly, almost ashamed of his question. "You two are rather close. I'm surprised it wasn't you who tied the knot with him." The words cause both of their hearts to sting slightly. Lucian felt guilty for being so selfish, for wanting her to be with him, and Robin felt guilty because she thought she didn't show him enough love.

He looked up, seeing the tactician's face. He felt ashamed of himself for bringing it up that he quickly looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry. I... I don't know where that came from. I should be happy that you're with me, I just-"

"Hey."

Her voice causes him to look up, seeing the girl in front of him. The prince opens his mouth to speak only to stop when he felt Robin's lips on his. Wrapping his arms around her, he kissed her back and closed his eyes.

Robin pulls away, a small grin on her face. "Lucian, isn't it obvious that I love you more than Chrom? Chrom is my best friend and he's happily married." She held up her hand, the ring glimmering just a bit. "And, I'm happily engaged to you. If I loved Chrom, I wouldn't have said yes."

Lucian was quiet and eventually laughed a bit. "I suppose you're right. I love you, Robin." He brushed away the strands of hair that covered her face.

"I love you too. Don't ever doubt my love, deal?" She draped herself on him, closing her eyes. Her lover wrapped his arms around her, resting his chin on her head. He was silent for a few minutes as he ran his fingers through one of Robin's pigtails. Finally, he smiled and closed his eyes as well, giving her his answer.

"Don't worry, I won't."
