Hello! I'm super excited to upload this songfic prompt for you guys to read. The song I used as inspiration was interesting go say the least, and I think it came out pretty good. (Get the Shulk reference? ;D)

On a scale from 1 to 10, Robin and Shulk are not that OOC. I'd rate them at a 2, or a 2.5. If you feel that they're too OOC, than I apologize for that.

I own absolutely nothing.

So please read & enjoy! :D


"You don't care, do you?"

Shulk turned to look at a bewildered Robin. He tried to think of a response to this accusation as his girlfriend continued to speak.

"You make me feel unappreciated, like I don't matter. I try to be a good girlfriend, but it's like you don't notice everything I do to make you happy."

Some men would suddenly interrupt to claim that Robin was simply bitching over something so stupid and unimportant. But Shulk wasn't "some men"; he wanted her to get everything off her chest.

"If I'm such a bother," she continued, "than please end things now so I put myself out of my damn misery. I'm sick of feeling unloved. What happened?"

That was an excellent question; and it was one that Shulk knew the answer to. In short, he'd simply fallen out of love with her. Robin hadn't done anything to cause that to happen, and Shulk would freely admit it to her. He just didn't love her anymore- plain and simple. He still cared about her as a person, but their romantic relationship was uttering its final death rattle.

"Why don't you care?"

That question made Shulk feel uneasy. After all, how the hell was he going to tell her his true feelings? He didn't want to keep making her miserable, but he really didn't want to break her heart. His head and his heart argued over how to properly handle this potentially explosive situation.

"Aren't you gonna answer me?" questioned Robin, her voice getting louder and more frustrated.

"I… I don't know," stammered Shulk. "What do you want me to say?"

Robin scoffed. She could feel herself getting more frustrated by the second.

"Do you want the truth?" asked Shulk.

"Gods, yes!" exclaimed Robin. "Please tell me how you really feel about me. Do you hate me?"

"No! I could never hate you, and you know that. It's just… I… I don't know how to say this without hurting your feelings."

"I don't care, so long as it's the truth."

Shulk baulked at how brutally honest Robin was. He secretly wished he could be like that on a regular basis. He pushed the somewhat amusing thought away so he could focus on what he really needed to say.

"I can't do this anymore. I care about you, but I'm not in love with you anymore, Robin. You did nothing wrong to cause this, and I mean it. I can't explain why I don't love you anymore. That's not a cop out, that's just the truth. I'm sorry for acting distant for the last little while. I thought I could try to make things work, but I'm afraid that's just not possible."

After saying that, Shulk left before he could see Robin's reaction.

Hypothetically speaking, that spiel should've brought her to tears. But instead, a grin was etched onto her face. She was relieved to have learned the truth behind Shulk's distant nature because she could now move on with her life.


There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
