A/N: sorry, not a completed request. I'm sick and all I feel like writing is self indulgent morning snuggles. But I'm posting this to tell you lovely reviewers that I AM working on them, it may just be a couple of days.

Not so nice guy: don't worry, I wasn't that serious. And I never thought you were mean, per say. It's all good.:)

Abbadont:hahaha your declaration of love just made my life.I would love to write more for you, if you have ideas!

Self indulgent morning snuggles


"Good morning, Robin."

His wife replied with an irritated groan and swatted blindly at his intruding face. It would be amazing just to sleep until noon, to do nothing but cuddle and feel the new life kicking inside Robin's belly, but they both held kind of important jobs, being Exalt and Queen. Not to mention that the last time they attempted such a thing, Frederick had come knocking at the door.

Chrom stretched his limbs with a long sigh, letting his breath tickle the back of her neck. She attempted to stifle her giggle with an even louder groan, and reprimanded him with a muffled "Stop it, Chrom. Must sleep."

"What was that?" Feeling mischievous, he jammed his fingers into her rib cage, laughing as she twisted away from his touch.

"Stop tickling me!"

Robin lifted her head from the pillow. Messy white strands obscured her face, but the death glare was obvious. "For the sake of your child, Chrom, let me sleep."

Her whine got her nowhere. Chrom left the bed and threw open the curtains, blinding her with the bright morning sun. "You've said that every morning for the past week. The healers say you're perfectly capable of at least getting out of bed."

"Fine. But I won't like it." Using the headboard, she pulled herself up into a sitting position and then watched him busy about their room.

"Why aren't you getting dressed, then?" he asked.

Robin pouted. "I'm sleepy." Her white hair was frizzy and stuck to her cheek. Getting an idea, Chrom grabbed two ribbons and a brush off the vanity.

"What do you think-"

Before she could protest, he'd snuggled up by her side and started brushing her hair. "We have to start you off somehow," he explained. "Or you'll never get out of bed."

She shrugged and gave in. It didn't matter what he did, as long as it gave her more time to doze. And the feeling of his hands running through her hair was simply amazing.

This went on for a few minutes, him pulling at the strands in frustration, and Robin ignoring him, staring forward with a sleepy look in her half-lidded eyes.

"I give up!"

"Hm?" she mumbled.

He laughed. "You really are tired, aren't you?"

Robin gave him her best 'oh really' face and dramatically flopped sideways.

"Then I'll tell Frederick he can run the kingdom until noon. Or tell Lissa to, she could use the practice. If she thinks she's getting off the hook by running away to Ferox with Lon'qu..."

"Would you really do that? We can't just shirk our responsibilities! There was so much we had to do today-" Suddenly, she was awake, and all her previous stresses hit her at once.

"Hey, we haven't had a vacation in...literally never. I think we deserve to sleep in for a few hours."

The smile that lit up her face told him this was the right thing to do. They had both put the kingdom's well being above theirs for the whole time they had known each other, and they would continue to do so...after this one little nap.

Chrom slid back under the covers, giving her time to untangle her hair where he had messed it up, then he reached out and pulled her close. She rested her head on his arm, and their bodies pressed close to chase away the morning chill. His other hand went down to her stomach.

"Our baby," he whispered, both of them feeling her tiny kick.

"mm," Robin mumbled, already half-asleep again. "I love you."

"Get some rest, love."
