Indie note: So guys this chapter is, well a mess, to put it nicely. I enjoyed writing this chapter very much and I had a lot of fun. But it is rated T for suggestive content. ( I don't do lemons) I hope you guys enjoy and again leave a review if you want me to keep doing this fanfic, it would mean a lot for me to get feed back. ENJOY!

I hate swamps. I scraped off another thick layer of sludge from off the bottom of my boots. Chrom had gotten us lost in a swamp during the scout mission and had led us through a huge nasty marsh. I gagged as I felt mud squish in my boots, I had done the horrible mistake of not taking my Pegasus because it was just a small mission.

"Come on bubbles it's not that bad." I looked over at Gaius who was almost completely clean. The assassin was lazily working on a sucker as I glared at him.

"Well you aren't covered in a thick layer of gross, ya overgrown ginger bread cookie."

"Just go and take a bath. Or are you worried you're going to walk in on some other poor unsuspecting fool like usual? And on Valentine's Day none the less!" He had an evil grin on as his teasing voice made my cheeks red. Gaius and Chrom both found out that I had walked in on them in the bath house and the two of them were giving me a world of teasing for it.

I threw a glob of the sludge at him, the deft assassin dodging. He chuckled and left yelling "Try not to get caught peeping this time bubbles."

Oh! I was going to kill him!

I watched as he scurried off before I could throw my boot at him. I gave a small huff and shoved the boot back on.

Panne chuckled lightly as she noted. "You two act like siblings more than comrades."

I glanced over at her and agreed. "Yeah, I wish I could murder him sometimes."

"Me as well." She continued to try to detangle the swamp grass from her fur the woman getting more and more frustrated.

"This sludge is impossible! I don't want Gregor to see me like this. "

My eyes widened as I gave a yelp of shock.

Panne shook her entire body, the swamp water and mud flinging onto me. I looked down at myself and then her, defeat in my eyes. She strutted away perfectly unaware.

I groaned and marched to my tent I grabbed all my bath stuff. I hated how the bathing tents were set up. You couldn't tell if someone was using the baths or not so it lead to a lot of pranks and people accidentally walking in on others.

Not to mention the singles in camp loved to pull "innocent pranks" on Valentine's Day. And boy had I been subject to all of them. From tipping and falling face flat in front of a hot guy. Being handcuffed to a poor young solider. Getting twenty love letters from eligible bachelors. To someone trying to set me up on five blind dates. Some had even gone as far as having a contest on who could flirt with me the most throughout the day. The worst was when I had seven random strangers confess their undying love to me, one guy went so far as to create a fireworks display and trying to propose to me by giving me a fish ad a tuba.

I was honestly tired over all of the years of being single and my friends trying to "help".

I took off my sticky armor and tried to strip myself of the more muddy armor I had on. I yanked my ponytail out and started to make my way to the baths.

I shivered as the night air went straight through me. Fall was starting to come and cold nights like these were becoming more common. Also it's not that I disliked the baths but a lot of pranks ended up being pulled and mix ups happened a lot. I felt my cheeks become red, two of the cases being me walking in on Chrom and then Gaius.

I felt my heart drop as I realized almost everyone else from the scouting mission had the same thought. Lines formed outside of the multiple tents. I clung to my cleaning supplies.

I guess I was just going to have to wait a while longer. Might as well make the best of it.

"Hey! Robin." I looked over to find Sully waving me over. I gladly went up to the pink hared knight the woman strongly clapping me on the back.

"I saved a bath tent for ya!" She grinned widely as I saw Stahl don an exhausted expression.

"Oh my goodness Sully I owe you one!"

She chuckled. "Yeah I figured. Go on in I just got done using it, Kellam's waiting for me at home so it's all yours."

I tackled her in a huge hug and gladly ducked into the separated bath tent. I made sure to peek my head in first and make sure it actually was clear. Sully had a habit of being one of the best trouble makers around camp. I became a little more relaxed as I became convinced no one else was in the tent.

I gave a huge sigh as I stripped the rest of my gross sewage armor off. I grabbed the Elfire tome from my bath bag and quickly lit the bottom of the tub on fire so the water would get warmer. The tome had been long ago retired and was due to fall apart in my hands at any moment so I didn't feel as guilty or worried that it would get wet. I looked down and gave the old water damaged book a large pat.

I waited as the steam rolled through the tent. I smiled and placed my hair up in a bun while I soaked.

This was what I usually did on Valentine's Day, I soaked in a nice warm bath or cuddled in a comfy blanket and read a good book. Valentines hadn't been a very big holiday for me. Sure I would get the occasional young soldier who would come up and compliment me but, most of them were just flirts or did it on a dare.

I ducked half of my face under the water instantly in a way to try and warm myself up. It had been ages since I had enjoyed a warm bath.

I got to town and started scrubbing all the dirt and mud off of me. I smiled as I was able to see my pearly skin again. I looked into the mirror and saw that my body was still riddled with cuts.

I felt my face fall a little.

When I had woken up, I was covered in scars. None of them self-inflicted but countless where battle scars and according to Lissa, they were defensive scars. I glanced at the burn scar that had completely covered my right leg the flesh red and permanently angry. My gaze instantly went towards my waist. I traced my fingers over the clean wound that Priam had sewn. I smiled at the memory, the stubbornness he had showed that day somehow making me smile. I traced my fingers over the one on my face. The course skin leaving an indent in my white eyebrow and eyelid.

Personally though, I thought my scars were beautiful but other not so much. I felt sadness go through me as I remembered a child looking mortified at my hands and face. Like I was some monster.

I paused and listened as water dripped in the bath.

Sometimes I wondered if that was the reason no men called on me.

I felt my ears perk up as I heard talking outside my tent. I heard the voices get closer. I put my usual ribbon at the entrance of the tent so no one should come in.

I felt a little on edge though.

I speedily dumped a bucket of warm water over my soapy hair and grabbed my towel. I stayed close to my bath supplies as I heard the talking stop.

Maybe I was just paranoid…. I felt my body relax as I gathered my stuff.

I turned to the back entrance and almost screamed.

Someone had just walked into the tent.

I instinctively grabbed the nearest thing by me and threw it at the intruder. Clutching the towel I had and making sure it covered me. The guy put his hands up speedily before getting completely beamed by whatever I threw right in-between the eyes. I watched as the huge guy slipped on something and fell backwards. A weak groan came out of his lips.

I grabbed the bar of soap next and screamed. "Get out!"

I paused as I noticed the guy wasn't getting up. I heard a few people howling with laughter outside.

Sully and Gaius. Oh I'm gonna kill the both of you.

I quickly put a robe on the pretty pink silk covering most of me up. I slowly tip toed to the guy's body.

Dread sank into me. I felt my palms go cold. And my face drop in mortification. I just beamed Priam in the head with a tome the size of a water damaged brick.

I rushed over to the man who had a spaced out look on his face a strong red blush completely displayed across his face and a huge bump forming on his forehead.

Maybe I should take him to the nursing tent. But before I do that.

I walked outside and quickly used the hex Tharja had been teaching me both the red heads laughing turning into shouts of surprise. I smirked at my work and begun to help the huge man to the nursing tents. I heaved him upwards as he was still in a daze. I felt dread set in me as I blushed at the stupid thought of.

Did my mentor just see me naked?

I felt my face become completely flushed.

Well, this is a Valentine's Day I wont forget soon.

"What on earth happened to you guys?" I heard Sumia ask shocked while Cordeila burst out laughing the girl clutching her stomach. Chrom looked at the scene with a mix of wonder and almost started laughing as well.

I calmly sat at Priam's bedside and continued to drink my cup of tea as Priam sat in a bed fazing in and out of consciousness a huge angry bump on his head. I glanced over at Gaius and Sully, the two red heads sat on a bench the both of them donning colorful yellow duck beaks and bright blue hair.

I saw Gaius cross his arms and quack. "Don't ask." I nearly stated laughing as the comment made Cordeila fall to the floor the girl crying she was laughing so hard.

Sumia rushed over to Priam and began to heal the wound on his head. "Do you know what he was hit with?"

I blushed and sighed. "I may have beamed him with a book." Sully and Gaius attempted to hold back chuckles as Cordelia burst out laughing again the poor girl unable to stop.

"Man, at least I got the better end of the deal last time." I blushed deeply at Chrom's statement and took another sip of my tea.

Sumai rolled her eyes and finished healing him the girl looking over the two duck billed culprits.

I made sure my robe was covering everything as I saw Priam come to, the man groggily opened his eyes.

"Priam? You okay?" I saw his eyes widen as he instantly avoided eye contact with me a strong blush covering his face.

"A thousand apologies Robin, I-I didn't know you were in there! Sully said the tent was empty!" He flinched as his hand flew up to his forehead.

"Yeah, sorry about that, you startled me and I kind of threw a tome at you…"

"No, I completely understand. Trust me my sisters have done far worst."

I tucked that little bit of information away as I added. "Also don't worry about Sully and Gaius they both got what they deserved." I gestured over to the two. Priam looked past me to find the two bruting as Cordelia tried to get a hold of herself. Priam gave me a confused and impressed look as he stated.

"Okay maybe you could do worse than my sisters." He joked lightly. I smiled and giggled as I handed him a cold pack to put on his fore head.

I inspected the small wound. "I am very sorry about this though. I don't know I had such a good throwing arm to be honest."

He continued to avoid my eyes. "No I believe that, you are one of the most impressive women I have ever met." I blushed at the comment the man realizing what he had just said. He gave a quick glance at the other people in the room and added. "Of course this is only pertaining to the battle field."

I dimmed a little as I took a sip of my tea. "Oh, thanks."

Gee thanks, I can fight well. Just let me have a regular compliment you dork.

"Well she is the best in her field. Trust me she's one of the best things to ever happen to this army." I blushed at the complement as Chrom squeezed my shoulder.

"Hey, bubbles! Lesson learned, make me hot again I don't think Cherche is going to appreciate smooching beak on Valentine's Day." I smiled as I gave a huge huff. I looked over at Priam who had an amused look on his face.

He gestured to the two duck faced fighters and chuckled. "I guess you should be the better person."

I blew a few strands of hair out of my face. "Do I really have to?"

He gave me one of his famous looks. "Go on."

I took his hand and squeezed it as I got up and dealt with the two blue haired morons in front of me. I crossed my hands over myself as I glared at the two of them

"No more bath pranks. Deal?" I stared the two down crossing my arms over my pink silk robe.

Sully grumbled for a bit but sighed as she barked. "Deal! Now take this beak off me! I'm missing dinner with Kellam" I smiled and un-hexed her the girls face returning back to normal but her hair still blue. She sighed in relief.

"Uh, bubbles you forgot her hair." I turned to Gaius who I sent a death glare at.

He became small as I stated. "No I didn't, the two of you are just gonna have to walk around with blue hair for a week as punishment. Along with kitchen duty and graveyard look out." The two groaned and started arguing as I seethed in annoyance not budging on my punishment for the two.

Sully left eventually the girl not looking forward to the teasing she was going to receive from Kellam. Cordelia, Chrom and Sumia also left for their dates when they got done tending to Priam. I had also un-hexed Gaius and let him get on his merry way of course after he stated that this was the last time he would play matchmaker.

I rolled my eyes as my cheeks turned red.

I was dreading this question almost all night.

I shyly walked over to Priam and crossed my arms over myself. He gave me a curious look as I blushed more vividly and asked. "This is embarrassing to ask but, did you, see anything?"

I watched Priam's expression as he suddenly became flustered and avoided my gaze. He closed his eyes and nodded the man grimacing.

I covered my face with my cold hands mortification running though me as I paced in front of him. At this rate the whole camp will know what I look like naked!

"How much?" I asked pure embarrassment fueling me.

He snapped his eyes to me his face complete a deep shade of red. "What relevance does this have? I'm a man of honor! Also I profusely apologize for this whole situation none of this was my intention in the slightest, trust me. I have far too much respect for you." He rubbed the spot on his head.

Dangit, my crush saw me naked and by the lord almighty I want to know how much he saw before I die of embarrassment.

"I know!" We both were bright red as I just started laughing.

Pram gave me a surprised look as I giggled and just shook my head.

"I threw a book at you and you saw me naked! Oh someone upstairs has it out for me." I chuckled all of tonight's events hitting me like a ton of bricks. I probably sounded like a mad woman right now. I looked over and saw Priam try not to chuckle as well.

"I can't believe you put duck beaks on them." I laughed harder as he chuckled.

"I'm so sorry this really isn't funny but, I'm so tired and today has just been wild." I explained.

He smiled and sated. "I get it, also I really do apologize for this whole situation."

I waved him off and smiled I lightly joked. "Guess this just means I got no more secrets to hide from you."

I sat on his hospital bed. The man chuckled his expression becoming gentle. "I guess not."

"I'm so sorry that I threw that book at you."

His face became blank as he listed.

"I have three younger sisters, I despise two faced people, my uncle Soren is one of the best male role models in my life, I used to think I could fly when I was five-"

I felt confusion run through me as I cut him off. "What are you doing?"

He blinked and simply stated "If you have no more secrets to hide from me then why should I have any to hide from you?"

"You don't have any plans?" I asked the blue haired hero.

The man gave me a soft smile and admitted. "I didn't even know what day it was until around an hour ago."

We both smiled and somehow spent the rest of Valentine's Day telling secrets and enjoying each other's company.

I would have to say that was the best Valentine's Day I had ever had.
