Hey, guys! So, I want to sincerely apologize for this chapter being up later than expected. All I'm going to say is that I fucking hate 8 hour shifts at work! Anyways, I hope it's good enough to make up the lateness of it.

I own absolutely nothing.

So please read & enjoy! :D


Maybe I'm just not good enough for her anymore…

Rob sighed when that particular thought crossed his mind. He hated thinking like this, but he couldn't help it. How could he not when he knew what his girlfriend was doing behind his back?

I can't believe I'm such a fool, thought Rob, angry at himself.

He knew that Robin was seeing Shulk behind his back. She tried to act stealthy about it, too. She'd sneak out of their bed in the middle of the night, or run off under the guise of training. It was bad enough she was being unfaithful- but the fact that she constantly lied to Rob's face about it made him feel even worse about himself.

"Gods, you're crazy," she'd laughed whenever he'd accuse her of cheating. "I love you, baby. I only love you. I promise."

That was bullshit, and Rob knew it. But he could never bring himself to kick up a fuss about the glaring issue. He simply ate her words without saying anything else.

Gods, those words of her tasted bitter.

Tears suddenly clouded his vision, much to Rob's annoyance. He wasn't one to cry in general- he usually got angry about things instead. Yet no anger entered his body- instead, it was sadness that he felt.

So if Robin was cheating on him, why the hell hadn't he left her yet?

Spoiler alert: the answer's ridiculous.

Rob was still in love with her.

Hell, he'd been in love with Robin since he first laid his eyes on her. Despite the extremely obvious fact that she was definitely not in love with him anymore, Rob couldn't bring himself to leave her because of how strong his feelings for her were. In other words, he loved her too much.

"Gods…" he mumbled under his breath.

The door to his room opened, forcing Rob to collect himself. He shelved his tears back into his eyes and focused his attention to his girlfriend- or rather, his cheating girlfriend.

"Hey, baby," she greeted in a sickly sweet voice.

That nickname! How dare she say such a thing to the man she was supposed to be faithful to? Did she say the exact same thing when greeting Shulk? Rob didn't know- and he wasn't sure if he wanted to find out at all.

"Are you okay?"

Robin's concerned voice abruptly brought Rob back down to Earth. In his haste, he nodded.

"I'm good, love," he replied. "I just have a lot on my mind."

"Want to talk about it?" offered Robin.

"No, I'm fine," lied Rob. He waved a hand over his face dismissively and even chuckled.

Robin nodded. "Okay. I'm just gonna get a shower, then."

The couple shared a brief kiss (against Rob's better judgment) before Robin disappeared into the bathroom.

Alone on the bed once again, Rob felt tears threaten to overflow. But he steeled himself as hard as he could so he wouldn't break down. He wasn't about to let her win- yet.


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