Me: Chapter 3! My god, you people really like this. Like a couple minute after I posted chapter 2 I got a review, then another one, then a follow and a favorite, not counting what I got from chapter 1 (which was still good too.). I'm in such a good mood that I think it's time I go ahead with chapter 3. Support Conversation A, which was equally as funny as Conversation B. Then of course, we have Conversations S and Special Dialogue. Then we deviate from the plot so that I can do my own thing with it.


~Chrom~

Chrom shook his head, mentally berating himself for his latest blunder at dinner. He had taken one look at Robin, promptly blushed hotly, and again, his nose bled slightly, which made Sully, Vaike, Lissa, Ricken, Henry, Cordelia, and Frederick all burst into loud laughter. They asked him (while Robin's attention was diverted) if he had seen anything interesting lately, to which Lissa replied that he saw a lot more of Robin than anyone had dared peek at. Of course, Lissa, Vaike, Sully, Cordelia, and Frederick were the only ones who understood what she meant, though Cordelia had blushed brightly and scolded him for peeping. That wasn't his only blunder though. One time, he and Robin had met up for a talk one night, only Robin was already in her nightclothes, a little silk gown type thing (which Chrom found was actually very durable and very flexible in battle. Chrom was surprised at how much Robin could move in fight in a dress) that left little to Chrom's imagination, though after the bath time, he knew what she was hiding under her clothes. Anyways, during their talk, Chrom was distracted by the low-riding neckline of her dress and couldn't focus on much other than the strip of skin and what the neckline was really hiding, so he had to have her repeat almost she said that evening, which frustrated Robin to no end.

Lately, Chrom couldn't be around her without his mind wandering and him blundering like an idiot.

He sat down in his tent and ran a hand through his hair. "I feel so awkward around Robin. Ever since that bathing tent run-in..." He sighed. No matter how enjoyable the sight was, he couldn't focus on anything Robin was saying or doing since then. "Whenever I end up alone with her, I'm just frozen in embarrassment." He sighed again, collapsing back onto his mat with a frustrated grunt. "Argh, what should I do? I've never had this problem before." Then again, he had never known anyone like Robin nor had he seen a woman as beautiful as her before in his life. And coupled with that, he had never seen such a woman completely naked (and wet) before. " ...Ah, I know: a bath! Yes, perhaps a nice hot bath is just the thing for my nerves... I'll have a soak and then find Robin for a relaxed conversation, like always." He couldn't remember when he had last relaxed in the bath before. The fighting had been stressful and he had worried about his friends so much he only took quick baths and then his talks with Robin. Robin and he always had a nice chat that wasn't filled with kiddy things and bad puns (Lissa, Ricken, Maribelle and Henry), nor constant competitions or the cold shoulder (Vaike and Lon'qu). Sometimes, their talks would be about war, but other times, they would just talk about whatever came to mind, being careful not to talk too late into the night. Chrom enjoyed Robin's company immensely, and even with a gap in her memory, Robin was very intelligent and at least had a sense of humor, usually making a joke when Chrom wasn't in a good mood and making him smile. She would also massage his shoulders sometimes (and Chrom was try hard not to make much noise and give Robin the wrong idea that he was taking it sexually) when she thought he was far too tense. Chrom really hoped that Robin was doing this because she liked him back, and not because she only considered him a friend, else he'd be crushed.

Soon, his bath was drawn and Chrom stripped off his clothes and sighed happily as the water soothed his tense muscles. And he had been the one to tell Robin to relax, yet he had done everything but. "Stupid fighting," he grumbled. Things weren't easy, he knew war did that, but he hoped they could find a conclusion and soon. That way, maybe they could focus on Robin and helping her get her memories back, and help rebuild the land that was destroyed with every lost battle. Emmeryn would have wanted it that way…

"Oh Robin," Chrom sighed. "I can't stop thinking about you." His thoughts had been turning to her lately, no matter how much he tried to focus on other things. It was one of the reasons he could never concentrate around her. Not only the bath incident, but the little things she did lately, like learning a new spell, writing out a plan, making dinner, being around the others, or even something as small as the way she sometimes blew her bangs out her face and got frustrated when they fell back into her eyes no matter how hard she tried to stop them.

"Damn it all," Chrom hissed, feeling a nudging feeling in his stomach and a throbbing below the water. It was hot and insistent, a need he wasn't sure he wanted to feel right now. Things were tense around camp, battles coming left and right, and here he was in the tub getting hard after thinking of Robin. But still…no one would bother him; no one would have to know…

His hand slipped beneath the water.


Robin winced. Cordelia's lance was in really bad shape. She'd need another one, since this one was too damaged to repair. "Sorry Cordelia," she said softly. "I don't think we'll be able to repair this. But let me see if I could find you another one or at least try to forge a new one from what we have. I know it might be a little-"

Cordelia waved a hand. "Oh no. I actually like the idea of forging from out old material. It saves us money and time instead of having to roam around trying to find a merchant and seeing if they even carry. If you feel that's best, by all means, go ahead and do it."

Robin nodded. "I'll see what I can make. I might stop by later, or tomorrow since I don't recall anyone taking inventory lately. I'll bring it to you though, I promise."

Cordelia smiled. "Wow…thanks Robin."

Robin smiled back. "Anything for a friend."

"Goodnight Robin."

"Good night Cordelia."

Robin watched her walk away, and turned to the weapon's tent. Lately, weapons had been breaking lately, what with no time to even repair them. It had taken a toll on them and their weapons. Her silver sword was fine, and so was Chrom's Falchion (though Robin didn't really see an end to that particular weapon) along with Lon'qu's Killing Edge and Anna's Wyrmslayer, but everyone needed some type of repair here and there, and it was Robin's day anyways. So, she quickly made her way over to the tent. "Let's see... The lances and axes are kept around here somewhere... I'll just take a quick inventory and see if any need repairs or replacing... Somewhere...around here..." The last tent she checked (Frederick was usually in charge of things like that, and this was the first time she had to do it.) "Ah, here—the arms storage tent, I presume?" It looked to be about right, but she didn't really know which one was which since they all looked alike to her. It was her best bet, since it was about the only tent she hadn't checked yet. "All right then, I'll just head in and— AAAAAAGGGGGGHHH!" Chrom was naked!

Chrom jumped, eyes widening when he saw the person who was the star of his fantasies standing there, blushing cutely and trying to avert his gaze. "Robin?! Where'd you come from?

Robin felt herself blush. "KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!" It was natural reaction for a woman to scream when she was surprised.

Chrom stood slightly, glad it was a bit steamy so Robin couldn't exactly see his arousal, which was (slowly) dwindling. "Blazes, what are YOU screaming for? If anyone should be screaming it's me, isn't it?" After all, Robin had been the one to walk in on him and see him naked, but he didn't scream. He was startled, but he didn't scream at being caught. He wasn't really sure he enjoyed it since Robin was so embarrassed about it, but he'd worry about that later. "You aren't supp—OUCH! Ow! Stop it! Stop throwing things! Hey, that's sharp! Don't—YEOWCH!" What the heck? Did Robin have a thing for throwing whatever was in her hand! First a rock, then she threw a bowl at him at dinner a few nights ago, then she did in fact work out the mountain spell but just hadn't actually used it…

Robin couldn't help herself. She was so embarrassed at this! First Chrom sees her and now she sees him?! Why was the universe doing this to her? Her resulting action of throwing things within reach wasn't intentional. It just happened. "ARGH! Have you NO shame?!" Why was he just standing there naked?! "Noble or not, you should AT LEAST wear a towel when you address a lady!"

Chrom hastily wrapped his towel around himself. Oh gods, Robin was pissed at him! There goes any other chance of getting her to like him. Now, she probably thought he was a pervert, and that was not the image he wanted Robin to have of him. "B-but, you—OW!—you were the one who walked in on me!" Again, why was Robin the one who was embarrassed? All things considered, Chrom should have been the one screaming and scrambling to cover himself, not getting yelled at by Robin for not doing so.

~Robin~

"Oh my gods," she muttered again. She couldn't believe it. She had actually seen Chrom naked! Gods above, what was she thinking?! Why didn't she walk away?! She had just thrown what was around her. But she had panicked! Chrom had been naked…and very attractive. He was muscular, Robin knew that for a fact, but she also had first thought of him as lean, not bulky. And while she was lean, he still had a nice build on him. The muscles, the pecs, the abs…he was still pale even after all the time he spent training under the sun, but he wouldn't have looked right with tanned skin. She liked his marble complexion very much and liked his body the way it way. And gods, training was bad enough, but she never knew how different baths could be! The water had dripped down his body, highlighting the crevices of his body and all the wonderful grooves of his body. But- those weren't thoughts she should have had right now. Now, she had to apologize to Chrom, and quickly. She really didn't mean to throw the soap dish…or her dagger, but she ran out of things to throw!


Finally, Chrom emerged, though his ear was still a bit red and he had a cut on his arm. Robin felt so much worse seeing those. She bowed her head and looked at her feet. "...I... I'm sorry, Chrom." She truly was. She never meant to hurt him.

Chrom folded his arms. "Are we done throwing things?" His tone was light, almost humorous, but Robin swore that he was upset with her.

Robin shuffled her feet. How exactly was she supposed to explain what she was feeling to him. She'd never walked in on another male (one she had a crush on) bathing before! What was she to do?! "I think. ...I don't know what happened. Something just snapped and..." She trailed off, brushing her bangs out of her face. It was a nervous habit of hers, one she found she did often when she was really shy or nervous.

Chrom chuckled. Robin could be so cute sometimes. Honestly, he kinda deserved it for all the things he had done to her, both unintentional and well…most of them were unintentional. "Well, no harm done. The gods' justice, perhaps, for my earlier blunder! Ha ha!" There. Maybe if he could get her to laugh, she would forget about what had happened and her embarrassment would leave.

As he wanted, Robin had smiled, giving a small chuckle. "Well, anyway, thanks for being so good natured about it all. I feel terrible about that soap dish. How's your ear doing?" It still looked red to her. Oh, she hadn't meant to throw it! She was looking for things to throw, and her hand had grabbed what was nearest to her. When it had left her hand, she had immediately regretted throwing it, especially when she saw what it was. Luckily, Chrom had dodged it somewhat, but his ear still suffered.

Chrom tentatively prodded his ear. It didn't hurt like it had a few minutes ago, but there was still some slight pain. "Better. It still stings a little, but better. In any case, look on the bright side: we've seen each other naked now, right? So I guess we've got nothing left to hide. In a way, we're closer than ever." There. At least he would get some sort of gauge of how Robin felt about him.

Robin smiled, blushing slightly. But still, she did have a secret she couldn't tell him. "Not the most appropriate way for a man and woman to get to know each other... But... I suppose as long as nobody else knows..." No one else would know. Not about this, not about how she felt for him. She'd keep it close to her heart, the place she wanted Chrom to have, but she wasn't sure if he could.

Chrom had to laugh. Robin felt some type of way for him, that much was clear. Exactly where she put him on a stand point, he didn't know, but it did seem awfully high (higher than Frederick, Kellam, Vaike, and Lon'Qu for sure. He wasn't exactly stalking her when she was with others, but he just wanted to know what was going on with her and other males. And lucky for him, she felt only friendship for the other males. Henry and Ricken were luckily taken and Libra had proposed to Muriel, so he didn't really have to worry about her liking someone else). "Ha ha! It's like we're partners in crime sharing an unsavory past! Anything that brings us closer will make us stronger on the battlefield. Just you wait." Except, what he wanted to say might spilt them apart. If he told Robin that he loved her, that might spilt them apart if Robin didn't want him in that way. And he didn't want that to happen. It was killing him to hold it in; he wanted her badly, wanted to love her and have her love in return, but what if Robin couldn't handle it. What if Robin did consider him just a friend? It would crush him. He couldn't love another, not with the way Robin was making him feel.

Robin's laughter joined his, a sound Chrom loved hearing. Just as much as he loved her. He loved everything about her, and just hearing her laugh everything off made him happy. "Partners in crime? Heh heh, I like the thought of that. Well, partner, your secret's safe with me..." Always. And if they were partners, as close as Chrom wanted them to be, she would take it. If she and Chrom were this close, and this was as close as they could get, she wanted to take it for all it was worth. After all, shy as she may be, Sumia knew her way around the camp, around the castle, around negotiations, and she knew Chrom…well, Robin knew him better, but if she were in his shoes, she would have even chosen Sumia over herself. Who wanted a rugged tactician who basically had to rediscover herself since she knew almost nothing about herself? No, Sumia would be a better option, or even Cordelia or Olivia if they weren't going to marry Stahl and Lon'Qu. Robin was just…there. She made plans, but that was it. Chrom could do better than her.

Chrom nodded, smiling. That would put them as close as they could be, at least until he could finally tell her how he felt and hoped her returned his feelings. He could even learn some stuff about her in the meantime, and if she didn't feel the same, he could try and get her to. It was a good plan by all regards.

Robin couldn't help herself. "So, that mole you have…" she teased.

Chrom flushed. "P-Please don't tell anyone about my mole. It's embarrassing. And, you're the only person who knows about it."

"Aw, but it's so cute! Who knew you had a mole on your hip that was shaped like a heart?" Robin teased, poking the spot on his hip where the mole was.

Chrom stepped back a few steps, trying to contain a laugh. "A-Are you ticklish there?"

"No!" Chrom answered too quickly. Robin smirked. "Really?"

Chrom took another few steps back. "Uh-"

"CHROM! ROBIN!" Lissa screamed, running towards them. "GUESS WHAT? GUESS WHAT?"

"Lissa, what?" Chrom questioned, having caught Lissa as she jumped at them. "What has gotten you so excited?"

"THIS!" She held out her hand.

Robin smiled widely. "Lissa, that's a-"

"A wedding ring?!" Chrom exclaimed. "Lissa, who-"

"Henry!" Lissa squealed, smiling and blushing. "Henry proposed!"

"HE WHAT?!" Chrom growled, turning red from rage. "Henry-"

"Chrom," Robin warned. "I'm sure Henry means no harm. He just loves Lissa enough to want to marry her one day."

Chrom took a deep breath. "I'm calm," he said after a feew deep breaths. "And I'm happy for you Lissa. If you'll excuse me, I have to talk to someone." Chrom put Lissa down and began to walk away.

"Uh, Chrom?" Robin called. "It looks like you're heading towards Henry's tent."

"I know," he called back, hand on his Falchion.

"Chrom, wait! Get back here!" Robin called, running after him. "Leave Henry alone!"

"I just want to talk to him."

"Then I'm coming too! I don't need you trying to harm him for loving your sister."

"As her brother, you know as well as I do that I have to protect her from…"

Lissa smiled as the two walked away, Robin pulling on Chrom's red ear as he got closer and closer to Henry's tent. While she was worried for her fiancée, she was just as happy for Chrom. It looked like he had gotten closer to Robin in the process, and it obviously looked like Robin was decidedly closer to him. Maybe things would work out for the better.

"GET BACK HERE!" Chrom screamed, chasing Henry out of his tent.

"WHAT DID I JUST SAY?!" Robin shouted, running after him.

Lissa chuckled nervsouly. Maybe they would work out for Chrom and Robin, but if she didn't go save her future husband, she was sure that Henry was in trouble. "Oh brother," she muttered, running after her brother.


Me: Hah! And there it is. I don't know why, I just had an image in my head of Chrom finding out about Lissa's marriage Henry and just flipping out. It was funny.

Chrom: Thank you for embarrassing me. A mole?! I have no such thing on my hip!

Robin: Nope. It's on his butt.

Chrom *blushes* ROBIN!

Robin: It's the truth!

Me: Anyways, Support Conversation S is coming *squeals* It's just as humorous as all the conversations between these two, and my own touch will be added.

Chrom: And then it continues.

Me: Yep. For a while. I was thinking about doing the other pairings I did in separate stories and making it a series, but I might not. Depends on what the people want.

Robin: Do you guys want it? I know AG would do it if people asked. Just make a little series with all the people she paired and added her own little thoughts here and there.

Me: If you guys do, leave me a review or a PM, along with anything you want to say about the story. And stayed tuned for Support S and the Special Dialogue! *Waves*

Morgan: Wait, what about me and Lucina?

Me: That will come! Well, not necessarily future you guys, unless the people want that…Gah! You guys just tell me what you think!
