Festivals were supposed to be happy things, not a place to talk about such somber topics. Of course, she didn't want to tell him that. Robin would've thought he'd be off flirting with some village maiden, not talking to her. "I'm sorry."
Inigo gave her a smile. "You don't have to be sorry. It's not your fault."
She bit her lip nervously, feeling guilty. In a way, it really was her fault. "I put you on the front lines," she explained, tucking a silver strand of hair behind her ear. "That's why you have to kill actual people."
"But it's to survive," he reasoned, without a trace of skepticism in her voice. "They're standing in the way of a peaceful future." He took a step closer to her, and robin felt her stomach flutter.
"I could let you sit out the next time," she managed to say, taking a courageous step towards him as well. "If that's what you want," she added in, almost breathlessly.
"No," he responded, leaning slightly. "I like fighting near you," he muttered.
Her breath hitched. "If," she started, tilting her head slightly. "If that's what you want." He responded with a hum, their noses brushing lightly. A jolt of electricity shot through her body, and Robin closed her eyes, their lips almost meeting.
"Robin!" a voice called out. "Where are you?"
Robin pulled back with intense speed, hiding her face. What was she thinking?
"Ah, there you are," the voice said, belonging to Chrom. "Everyone was wondering where you were." His eyes darted suspiciously between the two. "What are you two doing out here alone?"
"Robin was asking me how I felt about switching classes," he lied smoothly, with an undertone of frustration. "She wanted to know if I wanted to I would like being a cavalier."
"Oh, well come back when you're done." With that Chrom left, leaving the pair alone once again.
"I-I should get back," she stuttered, blushing. Being interrupted from whatever was about to happen, left her feeling empty.
He wrapped his arms around her, making her gasp. "Thanks for listening." Letting go, he looked slightly more joyful than before. "It's nice to know someone like you."
Robin only smiled in return.
This one was fun to write. Thank to The LoZ-Fan Yami-Chan for suggesting this! Also, no update tomorrow because I have a track meet, and possibly not Thursday because Ski Club is starting up.
