Hey, guys! Here's chapter 7! This now means that I've finished 3/4 of this oneshot songfic collection. Jesus, where the hell did the time fly off to? I can't believe this fanfic will be done in a few days! Ugh, enough moping... let's get on with it, shall we?
I own absolutely nothing.
Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D
Word travels fast around camp. Robin and Inigo both knew that, yet they didn't seem to care. They were in love, and they wanted to be together. It was all so cut and dry.
If they did care, they probably wouldn't be sneaking around behind the Shepherds' backs.
Sometime after Inigo had joined, he had confessed his love to Robin. Much to his happiness, she returned his feelings. But Inigo was worried that the Shepherds would accuse him of distracting Robin. He also feared that his parents would disapprove of their relationship. Chrom and Olivia really liked Robin; that wasn't the issue at all. The issue stemmed from Inigo fearing that those at court would disapprove of her.
So he and Robin agreed to keep their relationship a secret from everyone. This was not an easy task for Inigo. He wanted everyone to know how much he loved Robin, and he also wanted to marry her badly. He had no choice but to pretend that they were friends- nothing more, nothing less.
I hate doing this, he thought bitterly. Robin doesn't deserve it.
"Hello there, Inigo. What's the problem?"
Inigo saw Chrom taking a seat beside him, looking genuinely concerned.
So much for lying my way out of this one, he thought.
"Well…" he began. He didn't know how the hell he was going to explain himself.
"It's about Robin, isn't it?" asked Chrom.
"What?" Inigo was baffled. "H-How did you know?"
"I see how you look at her. I also notice how concerned you are for her during battle. I act the same way around your mother."
"Okay, okay… it's true, Father. I'm in love with Robin."
Chrom was confused by his son's shame. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Because I thought you'd accuse me of distracting Robin from her duties," explained Inigo. "And… I didn't think you'd approve of me being with her because she's not royalty."
"Inigo, did you forget that your mother wasn't royalty until she married me? I love her because she's beautiful, kind, and is an amazing person."
"Funny… those are the reasons for why I love Robin," chuckled Inigo.
"See?" pointed out Chrom.
"I'm sorry, Father. I feel terrible for everything."
"I forgive you. Have you proposed yet?"
Inigo shook his head.
"Then you should."
Inigo raced off into Robin's tent, not caring if he was interrupting anything. He found Robin sitting on the ground, reading some strategy book.
"What are you doing here?" she asked.
But Inigo ignored her as he dragged her outside, in the middle of camp. He got on one knee and asked her the one thing she'd wanted for so long.
"Robin, I love you so much. Will you marry me?"
"Oh Gods… YES! Yes, of course!" exclaimed Robin.
Any Shepherds that saw the proposal were quick to congratulate the newly engaged couple. If any of them had a problem with the couple, it wasn't Inigo or Robin's issue. They were happy, and that mattered the most.
There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 8! :D
