Hey, guys! I'm SO sorry about another delay! I won't get into details why because it's not that interesting, and I'm pretty confident none of you want to hear it. Let's just dive into the new chapter, shall we?

I own absolutely nothing.

Please read & enjoy! :D


"Ready for bed?"

Robin yawned quite loudly as she eyed her boyfriend, who had just entered their bedroom. "Definitely. I don't know about you, but I could use a good night's sleep. That match I had earlier today was harder than I thought. I don't want to face Bowser, Donkey Kong, and King Dedede ever again."

"I saw that. I can't say I blame you," said Rob with a chuckle. He crawled into bed and stretched his arms out in an attempt to get comfy in the king-size bed.

"Hey, save some room for me," teased Robin. "I'm the one who had a match today, not you."

Rob pretended to think about her request. "I don't know. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. I'll think about it while you get ready for bed."

Yet even before they reached that time, he moved over just enough to let Robin crawl into bed right beside him. She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed softly, happy to finally have a chance to relax after a long, tiring day. She smiled when a set of arms enveloped her body tightly to comfort her.

"I love you," she murmured in a gentle voice.

"I love you too," replied Rob.

Robin giggled before burying her face into his chest. "Gods, this feels so… right."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"It's like you and I were made for each other," explained Robin. She could feel her cheeks become warm with embarrassment, but she ignored it as she continued to speak her mind.

"I can't imagine my life without you, Rob… I really can't. I never thought I'd find the person to spend the rest of my life with. I thought I was only dreaming… but then I met you. I… I don't know how else to explain it. I know everything I just said was so clichéd, but I mean it! I wouldn't want it any other way."

Rob turned over so that he was now straddling her hips. He kissed her forehead and smiled.

"I love you, too," he replied. "I hope you know that I'll never stop saying so. I'll love you through anything- both good, and bad. We're always going to have each other's backs."

"Promise you won't leave me so suddenly," said Robin in a hushed voice. "I don't- I can't- lose you when we're young. I'll die right behind you. Don't you dare call my bluff."

"I promise, Robin. I promise to do everything in my power to stay alive. No matter where we go, no matter what we do, I'll stay by your side. I swear it. Besides, I know better than to test out your theory."

Robin giggled. "I'm happy to have such a sweet, smart guy like you."

Rob grinned before kissing her forehead yet again. "C'mon, it's time to get some sleep."

"Well… alright. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, love. I'll see you in the morning."

The couple shared a kiss, and then fell asleep in each other's arms.


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

Review Responses:

EchoMoonHuntress (chapter 7): It's okay, I'm glad you liked it!

MahNati: LMAO, you make me laugh! Sure, you can believe that it was all a nightmare. The song that inspired the oneshot isn't all that good, so I tried my hardest to work with what I had. But I'm happy to hear that you still enjoyed it! :)

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for the grand finale! :D
