Context: Returned to Ylisse after the war at Valm. Several months before Lucina's Judgement.

Robin: ... ... ...
(Nervously walking around in circles on a small hill, biting the bottom of his lips and crossing his arms. The grass he was trampling on become flat and even by the repeated walking cycle.)
Lucina: ...?!
(Initially wanted to watch the sunset on the hill alone to enjoy the view, but found Robin instead. She has a curious and surprised expression on her face)
Robin: Darn it...! Why...? Why must it be like this? I... I can't do this. I-I can't do this to her... *Continues to softly murmur to himself*
Lucina: Robin...? Are you feeling alright? You seem unwell. Do you need medical attention?
Robin: W-Wha...? L-Lucina?! Oh, *ahem* I-I am fine. Thank you for asking.
Lucina: Are you sure...?
Robin: Yes... I am. I assure you that this is me being the usual crazy, nonsensical tactician. I thought I already told you about my bad habits.
Lucina: Oh...? Is that so...? *Giggle* I almost forgot about that. You are pretty amusing to watch now that I think about it.
Robin: ... ... ... (Oh gods, she is beautiful when she laughs and smiles)
Lucina: Hmm...? Did you say something?
Robin: Huh...?! No...! *Ahem* N-Nope. I-I did not. It must have been the sound of the wind tricking your ears. Haha...
Lucina: ...? (Why does he seem so... nervous? Did I do something wrong?)
Robin: By the way, what you doing here in this time of the day? I thought you would be practising your swordplay or checking in your parents by now. Is there something you are looking for?
Lucina: N-Not exactly... I came here to see the sunset. I used to came here with my sister eveyday to play in this open space in the future. We will then have a little chat and enjoy the view of the setting sun. However, Cynthia is currently busy tending to her Pegasus, so I come here alone for now.
Robin: I see... That's nice to hear. (Especially from you...)
Lucina: Now that you are here... W-Would you like to enjoy the sunset with me? It would not take long and... I-I missed spending time with you, Robin.
Robin: ... ... ... It would be heartless of me to turn down such as heartwarming request from you. It is great to spend time with you today. So, why not?
Lucina: ...! Thank you, Robin.
Robin: ...
Lucina: ...
Robin + Lucina: I have something I wan-...!
Robin: ...?!
Lucina: ...?!
Robin + Lucina: ... (Blushes in embarrassment)
Lucina: You can go first... I don't mind...
Robin: If you say so... ... ... Lucina, have you made your decision?
Lucina: ...? What on...?
Robin: ...Whether you stay here in this world or go back to your own timeline...
Lucina: ...!
Robin: When we last spoke of that topic, you said that you consider it. Hearing that is not enough for me, though. I would to like to hear your final decision.
Lucina: I... I had been thinking about it over the last few months. Before I joined the Shepherds, I had always thought that once this war is over, I would be nothing but trouble to the people of this timeline. 'Return back to my own world once this is done' - this was my thoughts ever since I decided to travel back to the past.
I was afraid of changing the past more than I should have. Mother and Father are still alive... and this world's 'Lucina' will have with nothing but peace and love.
That's is all I wanted. My duty will be completed. I would not be needed anymore.
Robin: Lucina... You know that's not true. We all need you to be here.
Lucina: Of course, you, Mother, Father and the others constantly reminded me of that. Regardless of who I am or where I came from, the 'Lucina' that is me still has a place in this world. However, I still doubted it would still work out. People will be confused and there will be unwanted attention towards my family.
Robin: ...I see. Are you... going to leave then?
Lucina: No.
Robin: ...?!
Lucina: I... I-I have decided to stay here with Mother and Father, with the Shepherds, ...with you.
Robin: ... ... ...
I am glad you decided to stay here.
Lucina: ...!
Robin: Grima has stolen your precious life from you. It is only deserving for you to regain the life you always wanted. Once Chrom and I end this conflict, a bright future awaits you. I would do anything to ensure you will achieve it.
Lucina: Robin...
Robin: *Ahem* Sorry, that was a bit embarrassing for me. Haha...
Lucina: *Smiles gratefully and with a hint of amusement*
Robin: Although... I still have a question. What convinced you to stay here? I am sure there are people other than me who also would like you to stay here, is there?
Lucina: ...! I... I-I... (Is this my chance? The chance to... confess my love?)
Robin: Lucina...? Is something wrong...? Why is your face appear to be red as a tomato? Are you sick?
Lucina: N-No... I just... Robin. There is something I need to tell you.
Robin: What is it?
Lucina: ... ... ... The main reason to why I decided to stay here in this world once the war is over... is you, Robin.
Robin: H-Huh...? *Blushes*
Lucina: Ever since I met you, fighting by your side and getting to know about you, I felt at peace for the first time of my life.
I felt that there is hope for the future. The catastrophe will be prevented. Everyone, my family, the people of Ylisse... and me will be happy forever and ever. My duty can be accomplished... with you by my side.
Robin: ...!
Lucina: Robin, you taught me something important to me. That 'something' is learning to LIVE. I have now been given a new life in this world, something to look forward to. A new wonderful, bright future for me - The 'Lucina' that travel back in time with the fate of the world ion her shoulders. ...and I want you to be with me in this 'new' future that we had fought for.
Robin: ...! L-Lucina... No... I-I... (Please... Don't say it. Don't say it. Please don't make yourself regret those words)
Lucina: Robin... I lov-...!
Robin: DON'T SAY IT!
Lucina: ...! Robin?
Robin: Please... I beg of you. Don't say those words. They are not meant for me. Don't say something that you will regret for your entire life. D-Don't... Just don't...
Lucina: Robin?! What's wrong? I...!
Robin: No! I... I don't deserve it. I don't deserve... 'that'.
Lucina: What?! Why?
Robin: I'm... I'm not the man you have always looked up to. I am not someone you should trust. I am... no one.
Lucina: Robin, I am confused. Please explain what is going on. Why... Why won't you accept me?
Robin: It is not you that is the problem, Lucina. I swore that you were never a factor in my decision to... run away from you. You are... a beautiful, brave and kind woman - someone that I always admired and cared for. The problem... lies with me.
Lucina: ...?!
Robin: I came to realise my true position in this world.
I am not like Chrom nor Emmeryn. In order to save a life, I must take another. In order to preserve the lives of the people I cared for, I must forsake many others. I have taken away people's lives more than I could count. Lives... that cripple and fall by my own hands and tactics. Lives... that I failed to save, even if I did everything to prevent.
I am a monster, Lucina. I should not be shown care for.
Lucina: Robin...! That's not true! You are more than that... Much more!
Robin: Yes, I am! I am nothing but a suspicious man with a unknown past that has destroyed countless families and taken away the peaceful future of many brave soldiers. I have not been awake for so long, yet I was given the authority to take them away. I am no human.
Lucina: Robin...!
Robin: I don't deserve your love. I... I am afraid I am nothing but halting your process to save the world. Not while I am decimating it...
Lucina: Robin...! Hear me out! Listen to me for once!
All of those you have said, it is not true at all. That's not the 'Robin' I know and fallen in love with.
Robin: ...?!
Lucina: Robin, I understand enough about you to know to that you are not a monster. I have seen it first hand.
Even if it were the soldiers of Valm that we were facing, you made sure that the causalities on their side was also kept to the minimum.
You care about them too, because they are actual human beings. If you were truly a monster, you won't bother to make such impossible yet remarkable changes to your tactics to make it that way. Does that not make you human?
Robin: ... ... ...
Lucina: I know you were never like my father. No one, including me, ever expects you to be like the leaders in the bloodline of Exalts. You made your own decisions and build your own path. The path to help those who are defenseless, those who have suffered un-escapable fates, and even me.
Robin: Even so... I...
Lucina: I believe... I know why you acted that way. I was... in the same position as you, Robin. I... I was afraid to accept this feeling in my heart. The constant hard yet soft pounding beating of my heart. It hurts... yet at the same time it was warm and fuzzy.
Robin: ...?! You... You had that same feeling too?
Lucina: Yes. I was... If I ever was in love with you, there was a possibility that I would lose you... and that I would never see you again. The pain of losing those I cared and loved for is a horrible experience. I don't want that. I want none of that.
Robin: Lucina...
Lucina: But knowing that you will never hear my feelings for you and not having the future I wanted with you... seemed far worse. I... I want you to be my side. I want to live a happy life with you. The life that I always wanted.
Robin: ... ... ...
Lucina: M-May I know... your feelings for me? I need to know.
Robin: But... If I did that, I can't turn back. If I confess, I...!
Lucina: Robin... Please...
Robin: You can't mean to-...?!
... ... ...
That's so unfair of you... to beg me like that.
Lucina: ...?
Robin: Lucina. I believe my responsibility to the kingdom as the grandmaster and to the Shepherds as their tactician has been blurred by the thoughts I had about you. Your kindness, admirable strength, unbelievable determination and bravery has made me questioned my loyalties.
I... I feel like I am becoming more selfish as the time I spend with you grew in length: to know about all sides of you and to want to be there for you... to take care for you.
I'm... helplessly falling in love with you.
Lucina: ...!
Robin: I...tried not to, but I-I can't help it! You are like the most beautiful flower I have ever seen, the one in the midst of the chaos, bravely holding it's ground against it despite all odds. I want to protect that flower. I want to protect you.
Lucina: *Blush brightly*
Robin: Lucina... I... I love you, with my heart and soul.
Lucina: ...Aww, Robin... I... I love you too.
Robin: Those... are the sweetest words I have ever heard. I am glad we finally found the courage to confess our love to each other.
Lucina: Me too...
Robin: Speaking of flowers, there is one right between us.
Lucina: Hmm...? Is it a...?!
Robin: It is a white Daisy. You once told me that these are your favorite flowers back in your time.
Lucina: Yes, they are. What a coincidence. I wonder what is it doing here?
Robin: I don't think it is a coincidence. I-I personally think it is meant to be there, to represent how we are meant to be together. Here... *picks up the white Daisy and gives it to her*
Lucina: *Happily receives the flower* Thank you, Robin.
I... never thought of it that way. Do you truly think we are meant to be together? I... fear of the terrible, unforeseen events that challenge us. I don't want you to ever leave my side now.
Robin: Lucina... I know there are still many trials that awaits us, after all we had been through. However, no matter what happens or what is yet to come, my feelings for you will not change. No matter what road you choose, I always follow you and be right there with you.
Lucina: Robin, I... I won't rest until the both of us reach the end! To the new future that we promised to build! Together!
...
...
...
Lucina:
I love you. No matter what the future holds, I will cherish every moment.
Robin:
I am no one with nothing attached to my name. But, I swear I would do anything to keep you safe and happy. As long as I have you with me, I will become someone that chershes your heart with love and care... Just like how you chershed mine.
