Hey there, guys! So, we are now officially half way through this fanfic! I can't believe it; I mean, I only started it not that long ago. Time truly flies when we're having fun, doesn't it?
For this chapter, I set it in a modern-day AU where Robin and Inigo are college students. I know it's similar to the AU from the second chapter, but I feel like it works here, too. Sorry (not sorry).
I own absolutely nothing.
Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D
Inigo knew he'd fucked up royally this time around.
He had been at a party without Robin- who was at home doing homework- and had gotten drunk. It wasn't like him to get so drunk, but he had anyways. Maybe it was because Robin wasn't there to keep him in check. Maybe it was because he hadn't gotten so drunk in such a long time. But either way, it had happened.
Then he'd drunkenly kissed Severa in a closet.
As soon as he'd realized what he had done, he sobered up quickly. He bolted out and left the party without giving anyone any rhyme or reason for doing so. He then walked to Robin's apartment, reeking of alcohol and regret.
"Inigo? Gods, you smell like a bar," she said.
"I was at Owain's party, and I had too much to drink," explained Inigo. "I need to come in, please."
Robin gave him a wary look before letting her boyfriend into her apartment. They sat on the couch, where Inigo came out with the truth immediately.
"I kissed Severa."
The shock of the revelation caught Robin off guard. She blinked hard before saying the first thing that popped into her mind.
"What?"
"We were both drunk as fuck," added Inigo. "She pulled me into a closet, and I kissed her without thinking. When I realized what I did, I came here.
"I don't want her, Robin; I want you. I made a mistake."
"Inigo, you cheated on me," said a now hurt Robin.
"I know, and I'm so sorry," replied Inigo. "Just tell me what I can do to make it up to you. I'll do anything, I swear!"
"Maybe you should go."
"No. I'm not leaving. I know 'sorry' doesn't fix anything, but I've NEVER done anything like this before. I've been nothing but faithful to you, and you know that!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive."
Robin searched for any hesitation or deceit in Inigo. When she couldn't find it, she let out a sigh.
"I know you've been faithful," she said. "But… but you kissed another girl behind my back."
Inigo was starting to lose hope on resolving the situation. He looked away in a dejected manner.
"Maybe I should go," he said.
He then got up and began making his way to the door.
"Wait!"
Looking behind him, Inigo bit his lip. "What?"
Robin caught up to him and kissed his lips as hard as she could. They ended up crashing onto the ground in a heap, all while continuing to kiss. When they broke apart, they were panting slightly from the suddenness of it all.
"Don't you dare leave me," she said. "I forgive you. It's just gonna take time for me to trust you again, though."
"I wouldn't expect to hear anything else," replied Inigo. "I promise you, Robin, that that will never happen again. And I'm willing to do anything- and I really do mean anything- to regain your trust. You have my word, love."
There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
Review Responses:
verecund: It's fun to write about jealously, but it certainly isn't a fun topic to read about in a story. Glad you enjoyed the chapter, though!
NotSoGreatGamerGirl: NOPE! I will always ship Robin x Frederick. You need to accept the truth sooner, rather than later. Yes, making up after fights is cute. But it's better once you get to the makeup sex. ;) LMAO, I'm happy to hear you loved it!
Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 6! :D
