Hey, guys! From what I read in the reviews, I gave a few of you a hell of a shock with this fanfic! I fucking love it. XD Shocking readers is something I like to think I'm good at. :D

I may have made Rob OOC in this songfic. If so, I apologize. I blame it on the song I had to use as inspiration for this oneshot.

I own absolutely nothing.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D

"I can't wait any longer," muttered Rob.

Upon realizing that he had spoken his thought out loud, he locked his jaw firmly. The last thing he wanted was for anyone- much less the object of his affection- to see him talking to himself like a crazy person. He rubbed his eyes and tried to focus back on her.

Rob watched his female counterpart, Robin, read a book on the history of Ylisse in the Smash Mansion's library. She looked so deeply engrossed in the book's subject matter that it was like nothing could break her concentration. While it was an admirable thing, it did frustrate the hell out of Rob. He was conflicted; he wanted to speak to her, but he knew that she'd throw a fit if he dared disrupted her reading. So he kept his distance far, and his mouth shut.

He was getting restless just watching her. He wanted nothing more than to tell Robin his true feelings- that he was in love with her, and that he wanted her by his side not as a comrade, but as his lover. But it seemed like every time he found her alone, she seemed to be preoccupied with something else. Sure, it was just a book holding her interest currently. But other times, fellow Smashers would suddenly come and whisk his crush away to from him. It happened so frequently that Rob was beginning to think he'd never find the right time to confess his feelings to her.

Do it right now! The time to talk to her won't present itself again, was what his heart was saying.

If you disturb her reading, she'll send you flying into the next room with magic, argued his head.

Rob couldn't decide. He loved Robin so much that not knowing if she loved him was making him slightly insane. That being said, he knew he'd never be able to tell her that he was in love with her if she killed him with magic. He saw the Thoron tome sitting on a table close by, so Robin was well armed. It would only take a couple seconds for her to strike him violently, and it wasn't like she would hesitate to do it.

All of this thinking made Rob's head hurt. But then, he suddenly remembered something Chrom once said to him- something about how following your heart can be a good thing to do after all. Was that really true?

There was only one way to find out.

Rob couldn't afford to wait any longer. He stepped out of the hallway and into the library. He stood in front of Robin and swallowed hard.

"Robin? I need to tell you something important."

The white-haired woman lowered her book down to her lap. She pursed her lips and gave Rob a curious look.

"Go on…"

Rob smiled, glad and relieved that she was open to hearing what he had to say.

"I'm in love with you," he finally confessed to her.

There ya go! I know I left it on a cliffhanger, but that's just to drive you all insane. And NO, it won't be resolved in the next chapter. Regardless, I hope you all enjoyed it. :)

Review Responses:

Ice crystal 03: It was weird to wrap my head around it at first, I admit. But now, I kinda dig it. Glad you enjoyed it!

EchoMoonHuntress: You, my lovely female fanfic writing friend, are welcome! LOL, I hope this chapter didn't disappoint you, but surprise you instead. I'm glad you liked it! :)

MahNati: I know, right?! Rob's a sweetheart. Poor Robin... I think many of us (if not all of us) have been in shoes at least once. I love writing Shulk as a prick for some reason. Need proof? The songfic collection of him & (F) Robin. You're welcome. XD I'm glad you're loving it so far! :)

Inuyasha Armin Scarlet: Surprise! :D I made the decision on a whim, but whatever! Yeah, I was surprised about the pairing initially, but I got over it. You NEED to read Self Support- it's fucking AMAZING in my opinion! I'm happy to hear that you liked the first chapter!

PrincessKatniss02: LMAO, I'm glad you're liking it so far! I hope you continue to enjoy it, too. :)

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 3! :D
