Morgan had a hickey.

Priam and I both mirrored each other as our thoughts were both preoccupied and away from the meeting.

He had visited this morning for breakfast and had donned a huge bruise on his neck.

I heard the swish of paper. I looked down to see my husband's familiar large messy script.

"Who do you who it is?"

I looked over at him and shrugged I was completely as baffled as him.

He shook his head and clicked his tongue as Miriel went on about how dire a situation is.

I had memorized my plans five times over and could fill Priam in later.

The sound of paper sliding brought my attention back to the page.

"Not a single clue?"

I rolled my eyes and shrugged again. Priam gave an unsatisfied huff taking the paper back.

I sighed as I looked down at the list that was under my notes.

I scribbled Lucina's name out more due to Brady becoming recently engaged with the young woman.

I looked down the list some more. I had come to the conclusion that it had to be one of the girls from the future. I just didn't know who!

I tapped my pencil on Severa's name unsure if my god daughter would even be a contender or not since she seemed to have Indio around her little pinkie. I crossed it out just in case.

What also didn't help the matter at all was that Indigo liked to flirt with every woman in camp so finding out if a girl was taken or not was tricky.

I knew Cynthia was out as well even though the bubbly girl got along with Morgan super well. Her and Yarne had just began courting and actually she promised herself to him already.

I looked up at the slightly exhausted exalt his mind somewhere else as well. But I mean when one of your daughters gets engaged and your youngest daughter finally gets a boyfriend only to be pre-engaged to him I guess any man would be exhausted.

I looked down at the Kajelle's name. She was also really close with Morgan but I knew that she was still working up her nerve to ask Owian out on a date.

I tapped my foot as I looked down the list trying to think if we had passed through a town with a cute shopkeeper or anyone else.

Priam absent mindedly started rubbing circles on top of my hand as he rested his cheek in his other hand.

My mama bear senses were still running wild if I was being truly honest. Don't get me wrong I knew that Morgan definitely noticed girls but I had hoped since he was so young and sweet he wouldn't go around getting hickey! Conflicting emotions resided in me as I didn't pay attention to poor Miriel.

I continued down the list.

I looked at Noire's name I smiled as I thought back to all my conversations with the bi-polar girl. She was extremely nice and much like her father but she didn't hang out with Morgan much, but rather hung out with Gerome, Yarne, or Nah. I left her name blank.

All that was left was Nah.

Nah was more like a little sister to me though and she was always super shy around Morgan or busy with her books or helping out at the church.

I grabbed a few fistfuls of my white hair.

Who on earth is it!

A tap on my shoulder drew my attention back to the meeting.

"Um Robin. Do you have an objection?" Chrom asked Miriel stopping and Fredrick giving me a curious glance as well.

I blushed a little as I meekly put, "Oh no, none at all. Just got uh. Migraine that's all." I chuckled nervously while Priam snickered at the stupid excuse.

I quickly elbowed him as the meeting went on.

Maybe it was a dare? I know truth or dare had become really popular among the younger troops. But Morgan usually was either reading with me, training with Priam, or just busy being happy-go-lucky Morgan.

The meeting finally ended I quickly decided to leave before Fredrick tried to put me on any sort of house arrest like he used to whenever I got migraines. Priam followed along as I ducked Fredrick.

The hero held my hand gently both of our rough and scarred hands perfectly fitting together.

"Maybe we should just ask him?" Priam suggested.

I waved my hand and stated, "Because every teenage boy wants to get asked how he got a hickey by his parents." I placed my hands on my hips thinking deeply about this situation.

He glanced from me to Morgan and insisted "…we're a special circumstance?"

I let out a frustrated growl as I felt like pacing.

"You spend the most time with him so you should know more than I." I explained.

He scratched his head as he admitted "I haven't the slightest idea trust me."

I glanced at the list of names the only two still visible.

My attention flew to the young blonde haired archer. Norie helping Laurent with groceries that he had gotten with Severa.

Maybe I should just ask the girls?

I didn't see Nah being the type of girl to leave a random hickey on a boy but I could see Norie's alternate personality doing so.

I was about to make my way over to the bi-polar archer when Morgan popped into view.

"You know what this is ridicules let's just ask him!" I quickly grabbed Priam's arm and stopped him. I put my full attention on my husband.

"I have an idea, let's follow Morgan throughout the day and whichever girl he talks to the most must be her!" I stated desperately.

Priam gave me a blank look. "Robin we are not two teenage girls, what's the harm in just asking Morgan?"

"Asking me what?"

I jumped as Priam threw his hands in the air and blurted out. "Who gave you the hickey?"

"Priam!"

"HUH?"

I slapped Priam's arm as Morgan stared shocked at the two of us.

"What was that?" Morgan inquired again the boy still frozen.

Priam shrugged. Mortification made its way through my body my cheeks burning as I swallowed nervously and repeated timidly.

"W-well, y-you know just-t you have a certain bruise that looks like a h-hickey…"

The boy paused his expression purely blank. Then I saw the change. A deep red blush traveled up his neck and to his ears until fully spreading onto his face as his hand flew to his neck while he stammered

"I got this bruise from a sword handle, Owian lost his grip on his sword while he was trying out a new battle move! The handle decked me in the neck. You guys thought this was a Hickey!?"

I felt relief flood through me.

"Well, yeah, I mean you are technically a young man." Priam added.

Morgan blushed brighter and pinched the bridge of his nose as he suddenly started laughing. Priam and I both looked at astonishment as the young man completely bellowed with laughter the boy snorting a little as he looked up and with bright eyes restated.

"I can't believe you guys thought I had a hickey! Mom you were so frazzled!" The boy was reduced to giggles as I blushed a little and started laughing as well. Hiccups overtook Morgan making me laugh more as Priam rolled his eyes and chuckled lightly as the two of us continued laughing.

I tried to control my breathing while Morgan still had a bad case of hiccups the boy smiling. Priam chuckled along as Morgan and I were both gasping for air.

"I love you guys, and I promise, I'll bring the girl to meet you two before I do anything as wild as hickey's." The young man winked at us as I felt exhaustion go through me.

That boy is gonna be the death of me.
