Hey there, guys! So, I got the idea to do this from Twilight Joltik, who's doing something very similar. I'm going to post ten oneshot songfics that are exactly 500 words long (barring author's notes). Now, I'm using the couple Shulk x Robin F, and the songs in this collection will be completely different. The user knows what I'm doing, and I got their blessing to start this. Again, thank you Twilight Joltik! :)

Now, onto the first chapter: I apologize for it being overly sweet & cheesy. I also apologize if Robin F seems a little too OOC for anyone's liking. I'm going to throw the blame onto the song I had to use for this chapter- All Of Me by John Legend. Once again, I apologize if the first chapter isn't all that amazing.

In case you're wondering, the title of this is actually a quote from author Hans Christian Andersen. I didn't come up with it, unfortunately. But I thought it'd make a cool title. :)

I own absolutely nothing.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D

"Do you really love me?"

Shulk looked at Robin with a puzzled expression on his face. "Of course I do. I love you so very much. Why would you ask such a thing?"

Robin looked away in an uncomfortable manner.

"What's wrong, love?"

"I-It's n-nothing."

"That's not true, and you know it."

Ugh, damn it, thought Robin. She looked back at a concerned Shulk, and gave him a weak smile.

"It's just… I see you spending a lot of time with Lucina."

"Hold on," interrupted Shulk, sitting up in bed as he said this. "You think I like Lucina?"

"Well…"

Shulk shook his head. "I don't know what to say, Robin. We've been over this. Just because I'm friends with Lucina doesn't mean I love her. I love you! Why won't you believe it?"

"It's just…" Robin paused to gather her thoughts. She shifted away from Shulk so that they were now looking directly at each other.

"Lucina is prettier than me," she added. "She's a better swordswoman than me, too. I just can't shake this feeling that I'm second to her. I know you love me, but I… I worry." She hung her head, ashamed of what she had said.

"You could never be second to any woman, let alone Lucina," stated Shulk in a firm voice. "I love you with everything that I am, Robin. Regardless of any flaws you may have, I still love you."

"What is that supposed to mean?" questioned Robin.

If Shulk seemed nervous, he didn't let it show. "No matter what happens now or in the future, I'm going to be by your side. It may sound corny, but I don't care: you're perfect for me just like this. Please remember that. And please stop questioning my love for you because it will never go away."

Robin didn't respond. She merely glanced off to the side in embarrassment.

"Look at me, love."

She did just that, only to receive a loving kiss on the lips. She sat in shock for a split second before returning it. When the kiss ended, Shulk carefully pushed some of Robin's hair away from her face.

"Please, please stop doubting yourself."

"I will. But only if you do one thing for me."

"Name it."

"Kiss me again."

Shulk grinned as he kissed Robin's lips again. This kiss lasted longer than the first, to both of their enjoyment.

"Now please, lay down beside me again," said Shulk.

Robin nodded before they resumed lying on the bed. Shulk stretched out well, and Robin curled up into his side with her head on his chest.

"Gods, I love you," mumbled Robin sleepily.

"And I love you too," replied Shulk. "I always will, love."

That was all Robin needed to know. Eventually, his strong heartbeat lulled her to sleep.

Shulk chuckled softly for no particular reason as he gently kissed her head. He threaded his fingers through her hair and marvelled at her beauty. He was so happy to call her his.

There ya go! I hope you enjoyed this. :)

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 2! :D
