Hey, guys! Here it is: the final chapter. I can't believe it. It wasn't long ago when I began this oneshot songfic collection. I'm beyond happy with all the chapters, including this one.
I want to thank everyone who read, favourited, and/or followed this fanfic. I also want to thank the following for reviewing this fanfic at any point: verecund, EchoMoonHuntress, Gunlord500, pk-smash-attack, Matthew Terra, and The LoZ-Fan Yami-Chan.
And finally, a VERY special thank you has to go to the lovely NotSoGreatGamerGirl; for inspiring me to write The Tactician & His Dancer, for getting me into RPing on Tumblr, for inspiring me to want to play Fire Emblem Awakening, for inspiring me to write more Fire Emblem fanfics, and for being an amazing friend in general. You're rock. :)
This chapter's written with the same AU as chapter 5, but those events did NOT take place in this chapter. In other words: what happened in chapter 5 didn't happen in the AU of this chapter.
I own absolutely nothing.
Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D
"You… you what?"
Robin shut her eyes and winced at Inigo's shock. It's not that she hadn't seen it coming; she'd seen it coming a mile away. But it's not like that took the sting away. She'd just told him about her drunken one-night stand with Gerome last night. His reaction was to be expected because anyone else would've reacted similarly.
"I'm so sorry," began an emotional Robin.
"Why?" asked Inigo, cutting her off. "How could you, Robin? Am I not good enough for you? Was he better in bed than me?"
"NO!" blurted Robin between a sob. "Gods, I… I was so drunk… I didn't even realize what had happened until… until today."
Inigo had to look away from his remorseful girlfriend. He wanted to yell and scream at her for what she had done. After all, she'd always worried that he'd cheat on her. But here they were: Robin confessing her infidelity to Inigo.
Talk about the fucking irony of it all, huh?
The idea of throwing a fit crossed Inigo's mind again. He was angry at Gerome for sleeping with his girlfriend; and of course, he was angry at Robin. He was torn between kicking her out of their apartment, or accepting her apology.
"I don't expect you to forgive me," piped up Robin. "I also don't expect that- if we work things out- we pretend it never happened. If I could take last night back, I would, Inigo. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I regret it so much, and I know I'll never forgive myself for it. Just… please think about what I've said. I'll go now."
Not knowing what else to say, she headed down to the door of their apartment. It was then Inigo realized that he had two clear options: let her leave, or take her back.
It didn't take him long to come to a decision.
He ran to the front door and grabbed Robin's waist from behind. They twirled around fast briefly before falling onto the couch.
"Please don't leave," begged Inigo. "I can't bear the thought of life without you, Robin. I know you're telling the truth; it's obvious you feel like shit about what you did. But I don't wanna lose what we have. I'll always love you, no matter what.
A fresh batch of tears pooled in Robin's eyes. "Really?"
"Really."
To confirm his words, Inigo kissed her lips in a tender fashion. When he pulled away, Robin placed a hand on his left cheek.
"Gods, I'm so, so sorry," she said. "I'll do anything to regain your trust; and I mean anything. I love you."
"I know you mean it," replied Inigo.
Robin sat up so she could rest her head on his shoulder. She was beyond surprised by his choice to take her back.
"I don't deserve you or your forgiveness," she said.
"You don't get to decide that," pointed out Inigo. "I do."
"I love you so much, Inigo."
"I love you too, Robin."
There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed it. :)
Review Responses:
The LoZ-Fan Yami-Chan: By manwhore, I mean that he likes to flirt with women like crazy. That's my definition of a manwhore. I apologize if I offended you. That was never my intention.
verecund: It's always nice to see Robin come back after their sacrifice. I can't believe this is the last chapter, too! Crazy, I know.
EchoMoonHuntress: They do! Updating this & my other fanfics (including The Tactician & His Dancer, which is also update almost every day) is far from easy, especially near the end of the school year. It's been pretty stressful, but it's well worth it to read the reviews, and to see how many people actually read my fanfics. To be honest, I wouldn't trade it for shit. LOL, I'm sure Morgan gave Robin the biggest hug ever. Can't say I blame him; I'd do the same thing if I was him.
Please review, and don't forget to check out my other fanfics on my profile! :D
