Sorry for the long wait! I've been trying to edit this over and over, seeing if I could extend it since I do think it's shorter than normal, but after countless attempts I decided to keep it how it is. Hopefully there's enough fluff to keep you interested, and hopefully I'll post the next chapter within the week!

Thanks for all the reviews! It's been gratifying to read the positives (although negatives would be just as good too).

More fluff to come, more complications to arise, and more Lucina walking in at wrong moments to jump out!

The first thing Robin noticed when he regained consciousness was something weighing on his chest and right arm.

He groaned and tried to move, but the object refused to budge and he was left stuck. Muttering several words under his breath, he opened one eye to see what was foiling his attempts.

Just Severa, he thought, closing his eyes and relaxing, before the implication hit him and he shot up.

Or tried to. Severa lay on top of him, her head using his chest as a rest, her arms curled around his arm and locking it into a tight embrace.

There was no way he would be able to wriggle out of his position, or move her gently enough to keep the princess asleep. She would wake and start causing a ruckus and with his luck, Lucina would arrive with Falchion in tow and another death sentence ready to be served.

Although, that was a minor excuse. Truthfully, Robin just didn't want to move.

It felt weird, yes. The restriction and heaviness wasn't something he had experienced before, not even when he had stayed by Lissa's side one night after Emmeryn's sacrifice. Yet, it felt natural to him. Watching Severa sleep in his arms made a part of him happy, had his stomach flutter and his heart beating rapidly.

He could smell her sweet scent, her hair tickling his nose as he looked down. The warm sensation across his body as they shared heat. Their legs, tangled up, and the cute way that she held on to him, a smile gracing her lips as she dreamt whatever pleasant dreams she was imagining, all served to reinforce what Robin knew.

That he was irresistibly in love with the sharp tongued princess.

It hadn't been like that at first. Robin wondered what it had been. Was it the countless hours they spent together? The battles they fought side by side.

Or was it their more vulnerable moments? The night of the naval battle, when she brought him back from the brink of despair?

He raised his left arm and wrapped it around her shoulders. It was wrong, in a sense. He was her uncle, or would be, and if Chrom and Cordelia had their way, her godfather too.

But... that would be for the new Severa. For this Se

era, she was only a few years younger than him, maybe. She was brave, fierce, strong, but also kind, gentle, empathetic and beautiful.

He was broken out of his thoughts as he felt her begin to stir. He watched with some amusement as the same confusion etched upon her face as she looked up and down, seeing that she wasn't in her tent.

And then she looked up at him and blushed red.

"Good morning," he greeted, as cheerfully as he could.

"What... how... what..." the girl mumbled.

Robin shrugged. "I woke up to find us like this. Happens a lot, doesn't it?"

"Yeah... could you... let go of me now. You don't have to hold so tight! Jeez."

He chuckled, letting his arm around her go. "You should speak for yourself."

She harrumphed. "It's not nice to treat a lady like that, let alone a princess." Silence as Robin waited for her to leave. "Say... Robin?"

He gulped as her eyes met his, staring with an irresistible gleam. "Y-yes?"

"Could we... stay, like this for a while more? Not that I... I like you or anything! I'm just tired still. I had sentry duty late last night."

"Sure." He had a thought. "Why were you here anyways? I thought your tent was on the other side."

He watched as she blushed adorably, seeing the wheels turning as she tried to think up on something. "I wanted to ask you something," she finally said. "But, as usual, you were predisposed when I came."

"Well, I'm all ears now. Ask away."

Silence as Severa tried to form her thoughts. Robin waited patiently for her, like he always did.

"Do you... do you enjoy my company?" The girl timidly asked, not knowing what it was that let her words flow coherently from her lungs.

His face soon matched hers, the two looking at each other while not quite looking at each other. "O-of course I do! Why would you need to ask that?"

"It's just that... people tend to avoid me. You don't. You seem to welcome my presence."

"Do people do that?"

Severa hesitated. "Not really. Since I'm the princess and all. But whenever I get angry or criticize someone they usually... they usually tune me out." A dry chuckle. "I would even agree if you called me difficult to handle."

Robin smiled gently and he let his hand slide underneath her chin. He tilted it upwards so that he could watch those sparkling, red orbs. "Maybe you are. Maybe you aren't. But... truth to be told, I find it refreshing."

"Refreshing?"

"Well, you might be forceful and you have your faults. But we all do. It'll be pretty dull to be perfect all the time. Plus, while you might be snarky at times, if you read in between them there are good in them."

"So... how good are you at reading in between the lines now?"

Robin laughed. "I may be dense right about now. There's a beautiful girl in my arms that I can't get my mind off."

She punched his chest, although softly. "Jerk."

"I love you too."

They both froze as the words from Robin reached their brains. Robin was panicking; he hadn't meant to say it. What if she thought it wouldn't work, or that he was too old-

Before he could fret any longer, he felt something soft at his lips. Indescribable. Before he knew it he was returning her kiss, one arm sliding down to her back, a growing hunger emerging from inside of him.

When they finally separated, gasping for air and smiling widely, Robin laughed. "Glad to see you feel the same way about me."

She blushed. "You idiot. If I didn't care so much why would I be with you all the time?"

"Hey! It's not my fault I have amnesia and I'm not good with women."

"Probably the company you keep," she muttered. "Having Gaius and Lon'qu won't help you much with winning hearts of women."

Robin nodded, leaning his head onto her shoulder. "I never would have thought you would reciprocate my feelings."

"H-hey! Just for the record, I only came here yesterday because Owain told me so!"

"Owain, huh? Remind me to thank him for having you let your feelings for me out."

"Urgh." She buried her head into his chest. "Jerk. Remember I'm a princess! Can't you treat me like one for once!"

"Very well, Your Highness. I, your most royal knight, am at your command."

He watched a grin slowly form on her face. If he didn't know better, he would have likened it to the smile of a cat in a book he had borrowed from Sumia.

A Cheshire grin.

"Well, when you put it that way," Severa purred, tilting her face upwards so that she could look at him. "I wouldn't mind any more kisses."

It was before noon when the tactician finally left his tent. He and Severa had spent most of the morning cuddling and sharing stories and kisses. He had expressed his fear of her parents and Lucina to her, only to receive a snort, an eye roll, and a muttered, "they better not".

She had wanted to leave together with him, to 'stake her claim' (although Robin had no idea what that meant) but he had convinced her to go before him. Despite her reassurances and threats towards her family if they ever did anything to him, Robin didn't want to stir up the hornet's nest.

Although he wasn't sure which member he was more afraid of. If anything, he theorized that Lucina would be the one to look out for. Chrom was his best friend, after all, and he and Cordelia were close comrades.

Yet, he had seen Cordelia fly into rages (rare, but they had happened) and he also knew that Chrom had all aspects of the overprotective dad.

As he walked on, deep in thought, he failed to hear his name being called. He only realized when the man jumped out before him, forcing Robin to stop to avoid the collision. "Virion! Why are you trying to scare people?"

"Ah, Robin. Just the man that I, Virion, who pits the Arch in Archer, was told to find."

"Find? What for?"

"I believe Lord Chrom was requesting your presence, but upon finding out that you were sleeping he let you off."

"Sleeping. Yeah. Did he stop by at all? I would have noticed him if he did."

Virion shrugged. "For that I do not know the answer. Now, if you would excuse me, I need to see to Olivia. She danced herself bare the last few days and has been feeling a little under."

"Of course," Robin agreed, hiding a smile beneath his hand as he watched the philanderer stride away. How he had changed so much still astounded the tactician.

"Chrom!" He called as he walked underneath the flaps of the war tent. "Virion told me you were..."

He felt a presence behind him and whirled, only to find Lissa, hands moving quickly behind her back as she gave him the sweetest smile she could muster. "Robin! How good to see you up!"

He knew that look on her face. It normally only appeared when she was at her most mischievous. "Alright, Lissa. Game's up. Put the frogs away."

"Aww. You're no fun."

"Yeah Robin," a voice chirped up, and Henry walked through, his normal cheerful face showing. "I even prepared a few spells for those dead frogs."

"... Lissa..."

The girl giggled, kissing her husband on the cheek. "All for the greater good." Henry affectionately held her hand as the tent flaps blew open and Chrom entered.

"Ah. There you are, Robin. Word was that you overslept."

"I apologize, Chrom, it was just-"

"Nonsense! You put so much into your work and us it's nice to see you relax every now and again." Chrom clapped his hands together, a nervous excitement seeming to run through him. "Now, to what I wanted to discuss."

"The march plans? I think we can still continue. The village that have been reported to be under brigade and mercenary terrorizing should only be half a day's journey."

"No, Robin. This matter is... somewhat more personal."

His eyes gazed at his, unflinching, and Robin felt his heart leap into his mouth as he realized that, somehow, Chrom had found out and was going to kill him. Slowly.

He let his eyes slide around to find any exit, but the main one was blocked by Lissa and Henry. He didn't know whether he should risk it or not.

"No, it's more to do with someone in my family... Severa, to be more exact."

He could feel the sweat pouring through his pores now, his hands slick and shaking. Maybe if he apologized enough he wouldn't end up crippled for life?

"Robin. Cordelia's pregnant with Severa."

"Imsorryimsorryimsorry... wait, what?" The words had burst from Robin as he threw himself to the ground, but he stopped as the words hit him. He hadn't found out?

Chrom narrowed his eyes. "Cordelia. She's pregnant. What did you think I was saying, and why were you apologizing?" A light went through his eyes, and he clenched his fist. "Did you do what I think you did not do?"

"What? No! I was just surprised... I'm not feeling to well, honestly."

"You look like your burning up!" Lissa piped in. "Maybe you should lie down. We keep telling you working all the time only brings ill fortune."

"I called you here because I wanted to ask you if you would consider my offer," Chrom continued, lifting his friend to his feet.

"First of all, congratulations Chrom! How long has Cordelia been...?"

"A few months. We didn't want to make a huge spectacle of it and we didn't want to further burden you down."

"Alright. And the offer was to be Severa's godparent, right?"

"Yes. Cordelia and I agree that we trust nobody better than you to have our children's best interest at heart."

Well, that certainly made things a little easier. Robin cleared his threat. "I'm sorry once again, Chrom, but I can't."

The exalt frowned. "Why not?"

"I have my... reasons. Ones that I can't share for now."

"Is it because you're in love with future Severa? That'll be a real plot twist," Henry cackled. "Imagine being godparent and husband to someone!"

The two siblings laughed alongside Henry, but Robin kept quiet, turning his head slightly as a blush stole across his cheek.

Lissa noticed it first, and her jaw dropped. Chrom realized a few moments later, and he clapped a hand to his friends shoulder, nearly causing the tactician to drop dead from fright. "You don't seem to find that amusing, Robin. Forgive me. When I shouldered Severa over to you, I thought you both would do each other good."

Robin shook his head. "Look, there's something I should probably tell you and Cordelia, and the ask for a favour. It concerns Severa too."

"Ask away."

"Well, some time over the past few weeks, to my best guess, and finally being confirmed this morning..."

He stopped. Took a breath, exhaled and pinched the skin on his arm to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Chrom. Me and Severa... we have... feelings, for each other."

Silence. Robin expected some sort of explosion to occur. Instead, he was met with smiles on his friends' faces. "Congratulations. Lissa, can you grab my family and bring them here without letting them in on the surprise? Robin, Henry and I will discuss how he'll survive Lucina and Cordelia while we wait."

"You're surprisingly calm about all of this, Chrom," Robin commented. "I thought you would overreact more."

Chrom chuckled. "Oh, I'm surprised, that's for sure. But I trust you. Haven't I always?"

"Well there was this one time-"

"Congratulations, Robin," Henry interrupted. "I knew you two were caw-razy about each other like a pair of lovebirds."

Robin shook his head. "I guess I'll have to start calling you uncle now. Right, father?"

Chrom paled. But before he could comment, the sounds of arguing were heard coming from outside. Severa and Cordelia.

"Time to face the music," Robin muttered, turning to see his upcoming mother-in-law and the love of his life enter the tent.
