Hey, guys! Yes, I am back with another songfic! Now, I must explain something important: the song that inspired this oneshot is in Spanish. Since I know very little Spanish, I had to use Lyric Translate to understand what the song means. So please forgive me if the oneshot doesn't work with the lyrics of the song (Spanish or English). The title means (according to Google Translate) "I don't surrender", if that helps at all. I considered picking a different song, but I enjoy a challenge, so I decided to use it anyways.

Shulk is a tad OOC in this oneshot, but the oneshot as a whole isn't set in an AU. I don't think Robin is OOC, but that's just my opinion.

I own absolutely nothing.

So please read & enjoy! :D

If yearning for someone could kill, Robin would've been dead long ago. For months now, she'd watch Shulk and fantasize about how she could make him hers. She wanted to call him her boyfriend so badly it hurt. She was in love with everything about Shulk: his personality, his great sense of humour, and finally, his beauty. Actually, his looks were simply the icing on an already perfect cake.

But every time Robin tried to initiate a conversation, Shulk would push her away. It had been six months since the death of his last girlfriend, and he thought that being with any other girl would be disrespectful to her and her memory. Robin understood his logic, but it didn't make the sting of rejection any less. She wanted him to see that she could make him just as happy as his deceased girlfriend.

"You're crazy if you think you can convince me to be with you," Shulk had sneered to her at one point. "I'm not ready for anything serious."

Robin didn't buy that for a second. Still, she knew better than to force Shulk into anything that made him feel uncomfortable.

"I respect your decision," she had replied. "When you're ready, I'll be here for you."

That brief conversation had taken place a month ago. Robin hadn't spoken to Shulk since then, but she had seen him around the Smash Mansion here and there. He rarely looked her in the eye; and if he did, he would look away fast.

He needs time, thought Robin. It's hard to move on from something so tragic.

She sat on a window sill in the den, pondering her thoughts. Truth be told, she was growing a little tiresome of having to wait for Shulk. Her friends had told her that she should just give up because there was no way in hell that she and Shulk would ever get together. He was simply too hung up on his past love to want to be with anyone new.

No! I won't give up, thought Robin with determination. I love him too much to give up on him.

That was the emotional side of her brain talking. But the logical side argued that she was hopelessly waiting for heart ache, rather than her true love.

He'll never move on, you idiot! Oh Gods, just accept the truth, Robin!

"Robin?"

She snapped her head to her right, and gasped at a nervous-looking Shulk. She moved her legs off the window sill so he could sit beside her. He nodded and took the newly available seat.

"Yes?" she asked.

Shulk's response was a sweet, albeit apprehensive kiss on her lips. It sent a wave of shock down Robin's spine, but it went away fast enough to be replaced with warmth and love. She moved her hands to his face, and his went to her waist.

"I'm sorry for making you wait," said Shulk once the kiss ended.

"Don't be," replied Robin happily. "You were worth it."

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

Review Responses:

My Gender is Armin Arlert: I'm a bit of a tease, aren't I? :D lol, thank you for your kind words! It was definitely an unusual AU, but I felt like it worked with the song.

Lionwolf: lmao, glad you enjoyed it! :)

EchoMoonHuntress: I always rate my fanfics T mostly because I like to use profanity in them. I guess it came in handy for that songfic, right? lol, I appreciate your sweet words. It sure is different, but that's why I enjoyed writing it. :)

SakuraDreamerz: Oh, I will write more! As far as song suggestions go... I'm sorry, but I already have a playlist sent up with songs to use. That being said, if you PM me a request, I'll try to get around to writing it. :) I'm sorry if I disappointed you, but like I said, I already have an idea of which songs I'm going to use for this oneshot collection.

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 8! :D
