Me: Now, I didn't necessarily have the special dialogue unlocked in the game, but I decided to read it anyways, and it's kinda cute. It's hella short, but it's cute. I really like it. If there was five support conversations or a private moment between the two, I would prefer this to be there. It would have honestly been a cute little thing between the two. Like, maybe before the wedding. But, whatevs. Here we go!

Disclaimer: Lawyers: AG, you are being sued for-

Me: B-But I didn't even stake claim to it!

Lawyers…Oh. Carry on.

Me: I own nothing…

Chapter 5: You're Special To Me

Chrom growled, tossing his crown onto the bed. The stupid council was insisting that he marry soon so that an heir could be produced and for the people, but he had just finished fighting in the war! HE couldn't immediately marry after that. 'You could have at least worked with enough females to find interest in one,' they said. Well, most of them were either married or getting married. Cordelia was marrying Stahl, Lon'qu was marrying Olivia, Vaike was marrying Cherche, Muriel was marrying Libra, Anna was marrying Donnel, Sully was marrying Frederick… so who did he have? He wanted to marry…Robin. And speaking of which, he hadn't been able to talk with her lately. Ever since the bigger battles had been going on, he couldn't really focus on her and what he wanted with her. He found that throughout it all, Robin had been there. He really loved her. He just wished he had the time to tell her lately. Maybe he'd get his chance…

Someone knocked on the door. If it was Lissa or the council, they would have walked in already. Then, who was it? He wasn't in the mood for anyone right now-

"Chrom?" Came a voice Chrom would know anywhere from the other side of the door. "Are you in there? You wanted to talk, remember?"

Never mind. He had time for Robin. "Come on in Robin," he called.

As soon as Robin walked in, she sensed something was wrong. Chrom hadn't been himself lately, probably because of all the hustle he had to go through with the war ending and rebuilding processes and all, of course he would have been weighed down. Still, something in the room didn't sit right with her.

Chrom sat up, running a hand through his hair. Robin was in a silk gown, a deep blue color. It was so much different from her usual gear, and Chrom thought she couldn't have looked better. Even after all that happened, Chrom wanted her to stay around. He wanted her if he was honest. He couldn't quell his need for her, and he couldn't stop the guilt that rushed through him every time she came back from a battle or discovered a new bruise or scar. "Robin..." how did he start saying something like this? Maybe he should just come out with it…

Robin walked over to Chrom's bed and put a hand on his forehead. "What's wrong, Chrom? You look so serious." She hoped he had been resting, and not wearing himself out so much.

Chrom sighed. Even now, Robin was still caring for him in a battle that wasn't even hers. "I... I think I owe you an apology. This wasn't your war to fight." It really wasn't. It was all coincidence that they met, and maybe Robin felt she owed them, and that's why she helped them, even though she risked her life to do so.

Robin shook her head. "But I chose to fight it." Just seeing how bad the country had gotten made her mad, and she wanted to be part of the reason it would get fixed.

Chrom pulled away from her touch, getting up from his bed. He paced around the room slowly, trying to gather his thoughts. "All I've been thinking about is stopping Gangrel, no matter the cost. Even my own life would not have been too high a price to pay." Really, he'd die for Robin, as long as it meant Gangrel would be gone for good. When the bastard had made that off-hand comment, a disgusting one about what his intentions would have been if Robin had been his or if he could have Robin to himself, Chrom was sure he was going to blitz.

Robin gaped. What was Chrom saying?! "It would have been for us! ...And for me." Chrom dying…she didn't want to imagine it. If she thought about it, it would break her heart. Chrom was special to her, not a brother, nor a good friend really, but special. She…She loved him. So much it hurt when he confronted Gangrel, and it hurt when she was Gangrel's blade nearly pierce Chrom…gods she had been so scared. She had so desperately wanted to jump in and intervene, but she had been busy with her own enemy. By the time she was finished, Chrom and Gangrel had been in the midst of a standstill. If he looked back at her, the slip could have cost him his life, and Robin couldn't have that.

Chrom finally stopped his pacing, facing Robin. She…She had been worried about him. She hadn't wanted anything bad to happen to him. He thought he had been being selfish, but he hadn't. Everyone valued him, even Robin, which was more than he deserved. It sounded like he was putting her under stress, and he didn't really want that. He wanted Robin to be happy, no matter what it would take. "I've been thinking a lot lately, about everything. And about you, Robin. In many ways, you're the best fighter I've ever known...and the best friend. You are a special woman and I... I wonder if you think of me as more than your leader?" He hoped so. Friends was fine, but maybe they were something more? Maybe Robin looked past the supposed 'favors' she claimed she owed him and saw something else? Because for him, Robin was…Robin is…well, Robin…where did he begin? How does one go about describing her? Words came to mind, but he felt like they weren't enough.

Robin breath caught slightly. When it came to Chrom, she felt different. This was love, and she knew that. She loved him. That was the real reason she had stayed so long. To rebuild the country, and for Chrom. She wanted him to see how committed she was to this, how committed she was to him. Chrom had helped her though so much, she had so much she wanted to repay him for, but where to start? Well, at least being honest with him was one place. "I think of you as a great man, and" she blushed. This next part would determine where she stood with him, though she knew it was somewhere good. He did say he wanted to know if she thought differently of him, as he thought of her. "...dear to my heart," she finished.

Chrom gave a small smile. Robin…she truly cared, didn't she? It was nice to know. Even after all he did, after all he included her in, after all the pain he put her through just letting her get in on these battles, Robin still cared. Maybe he could, just once, do something for himself. "I never want to let you go, Robin. Does that make me selfish?" He hoped not. Would it be bad to just indulge himself, just this once? Didn't he have a good thing or two coming to him lately? Was Robin sent to him in his time of need to help him? There was a chance this was a sign of something good. He had been pining for Robin this whole time, and he was glad that in his need, she came.

Robin smiled. "If so, then let me be selfish, too. I would be with you, always." She could let things settle, and be with Chrom. She had wanted this for so long, and now, would it be possible for her to have it? She could really be selfish herself too. As long as Chrom wanted her, wanted to indulge with her, Robin would give as much as she could, even if it overwhelmed her. That was how deep her commitment to Chrom was. If she was allowed, she would indulge in him for however long she was able.

Chrom was speechless. What was he to say? Robin had just given him the chance, given him permission, to be selfish with her. To indulge in his fantasies and stay together. Robin…she just admitted that she wanted to be with him always. She admitted…that she loved him.

Robin wasn't sure what Chrom's silence meant. At first, the conversation seemed like it was going just fine, but this silence…tension was thick, but she hoped it was a good kind of tension (as good as tension could be) and that Chrom felt that she was very dear to his heart as well.

Chrom released his breath, scared he was entering territory he shouldn't trod. But the land was safe enough. It was time. "Robin?"

Robin smiled. "Yes, Chrom?"

Chrom finally released the breath he didn't know he was holding and reached into his pocket. He had had the ring for a while now, but there was no chance to give it to her. It began to burn in his pocket, and burned every time Robin was around. It was a welcome burn that would soon leave him, but he would feel better knowing it was safer upon Robin's finger. "We met under unusual circumstances, but lives have been made from far less. My sister always followed her heart, so now I'm going to follow mine... What I want to ask you... Well, what I mean is... Will you marry me?"

And Robin smiled. "...Yes." This truly was love.

Chrom smiled as well. "Ha ha! With a word you've made me the happiest man in all the realm! Now I'll need to ask for a bit of patience for the near future... My first duty must be to heal the scars of war and assume my role for the people. But then, we can begin our life together." He would be sure to make everyone happy. He may not have been able to make Robin happy now, but he had all the time in the world to do everything in his power to make her as happy as he could manage.

Robin chuckled. "That's all right. I'm a tactician, remember? I'll figure something out." She meant it both as a joke and seriously. She had helped Chrom with so many other plans, how much different would this one be?

Chrom nodding, finally placing the ring on Robin's finger. It was a promise and a commitment. "Thank you." For loving him, for helping him, and just for being there overall.

Robin looked at the beautiful ring on her finger, and then back to Chrom. "I can't help but think back to the day we first met... Strange, isn't it, the way fate brought us together? I am a lucky woman to have met you, and luckier still now." That day in the field, she developed a crush on Chrom. As the days went past, it became attraction, and it progressed into love as time went on. She had kept those feelings to herself however, only letting them show on certain nights (not counting the bathing experiences they had), though she did try to get closer to him through that. Battles didn't really help, though she did lend him help in the more difficult of battles and saved his life a few times, but she couldn't really declare love during a Risen ambush now could she?

"I know together we can bring joy back to the royal palace. I'll do everything I can to make the castle a happy home for us...my love." Ah, those words felt nice coming out of his mouth. A term of his endearment for Robin, even though more words should have been said to describe how wonderful Robin was and how she made him feel.

Robin couldn't stop smiling. She was just so happy. "My love." She chuckled. She liked the sound of that. And she could get used to being Chrom's wife. Royalty would take some time, but as long as she had Chrom, she would be okay. "I like the sound of that."

Chrom smiled back, pulling her close and wrapping his arms around her. "I'm glad," he murmured. And finally, as he had been dreaming of, he leaned down and sealed their mouths together in a sweet kiss, letting himself indulge in all that Robin had to offer.

Chrom smiled into the kiss. Selfish: maybe. Happy: Indeed.

Me: And that's how I imagine it would go. I kinda see this as immediately after the war, in the castle as Chrom plans to rebuild. Why? Because that's the kind of setting I can picture. Not in the war (simply because context clues tell you that it's after the war when everything is settled. If you play, I think that it's chapter 11 where you can find this) but after.

Chrom: Well, I guess that means you're going off script from here on it?

Me: Yup. Up next is a wedding, so the chapter will be substantially longer. Because the next chapter will include Lissa and the whole gang planning a big royal wedding for Chrom and Robin and the actual wedding. Then, chapters will go in a typical fashion: wedding night, pregnancy, Chrom's first time spending a whole day alone with Lucina (so maybe the story will get longer) another pregnancy, Chrom's first day alone with Morgan (okay, so it might be longer than that) and then finally an epilogue.

Robin: Wow, so you added a whole new two chapters?

Me: Well, the idea of Chrom trying to babysit Lucina and Morgan as toddlers by himself while he's giving Robin a day off just amused me. I had to make it known to everyone else and let them be written for all to enjoy.

Chrom: What makes it so hilarious?

Me: The fact that support S, you took like, 20 minutes to say 'I love you' and then another 20 to ask her to marry you. You called her ugly, peeped on her in the shower, got embarrassed when she peeked at you, and you're an overall doofus around her.

Robin: Did you just-

Me: Use the word doofus? Yes.

Chrom: I was not a 'doofus' around Robin!

Robin: Yes you were.

Chrom: Alright, yes I was.

Me: Damn you're whipped.

Chrom: I am not!

Robin: Yes you are.

Chrom: Okay.

Me: *shakes head* See? You guys see what I mean? Anyways, stayed tuned for the next chapter of Our Love Story. Thank you to all those who have followed, favorited, review, and all of the above. You guys are awesome, and I will see you next time.
