I fiddled with my new engagement ring on my finger as I paced back and forth in front of Chrom's tent. I felt my stomach tie into knots.
"Robin dear, please sit down you're making me anxious just looking at you."
The gentle voice of Sumia calmed me a little the girl in her night gown and her hair fully down. She was perfectly stunning like always.
I messed with my necklace and sat down only to start tapping my foot.
"Yeah you're making my head spin, do you want to go on a quick fly around camp!? Or wait maybe we should do jumping jacks! No, wait LETS GO PRANK BRADY!" The overly bubbly Cynthia cheered.
"Cee-cee not now, also stop pranking him. Just because we are courting doesn't mean you have to torment him twenty four seven." Lucina ordered the young girl yawning.
I sighed and begun pacing again.
I wished I could hear what's going on inside the tent but I knew better.
Priam was asking Chrom's permission to marry me.
I felt sick to my stomach. Of course I knew that Chrom and Priam had become quick friends and both respected each other but Chrom was the closest thing to a brother figure in my life aside from Gaius and this was important to Priam.
He had actually planned on going to Chrom first but decided against it due to Sully and Gregor pressuring him and the cursing incident and basically just a mountain of problems and events that had happened.
I paced more intensely.
We didn't even court!
I smiled at the realization. Man we really were a mess.
It made me happy that he wanted to at least try do the engagement right and that he respected Chrom and I's relationship to ask.
I knew where Chrom stood on this topic as well but that doesn't mean I'm still not a total wreck .
I took a deep breath and tried sitting down again the two time traveling girls chatting amongst themselves now. Sumia attempted to walk over to me but instead completely fell face first down.
I tensed as she broke her fall and smiled she brushed it off with a snarky. "Well at least we know Chrom didn't marry me for my grace."
I smiled at the charming girl as she sat by me and hugged my shoulders. I gripped my jacket that I had thrown over my night clothes after Priam had decided to ask Chrom tonight. I felt bad for waking everyone up but Sumia and the girls didn't seemed to mind too much.
"You have nothing to worry about sweetie." I looked up at Sumia who had a gentle smile on her face as she smiled and stated.
"Chrom has been routing for the two of you for quite some time. You have nothing to worry about, he's probably just scaring Priam a little. He sees you like a little sister you know."
I felt a little more relaxed as Sumia got up and asked. "Does anyone want tea?"
Cynthia raised her hand and followed her mother as I meekly stated I would love some. The two women left the room leaving me with Lucina.
The strong willed girl crossed over the room to me and sat in her mother's place as she . "It's going to be okay," she said confidently.
I gave her a curious look as she replied. "Time travel confidence I guess." She added awkwardly.
"Oh." I didn't know if that made me more relaxed or not.
Lucina tried to disclose as little as possible about the future except for anything about Grima. She was mostly concerned with bad time ripples. I had listened to Laurent about the matter on multiple occasions the young man becoming very helpful with understanding most of the time related problems. Not to mention Laurent's intense amount of research helped tremendously along with a few documents from Fredrick's reports.
My head snapped up as I heard footsteps and Chrom walk out of the tent. I stood up quickly my clunky boots being the only thing that planted me on the ground as I saw Priam emerge as well.
I felt my heart soar a little as I rushed over to the two most important men in my life. Priam embraced me as I felt his assuring hand run through my hair. I looked between the two of them holding my breath as Chrom gestured for me to go into the tent.
I gave a fleeting glance to Priam and separated from him. He gave me a longing glance and let go of my hand as I walked into the tent with Chrom.
Chrom closed the tent and sighed. I watched as he paced and then took a seat at the familiar desk that we had held countless discussions and plans. He looked disheveled and his hair stuck out in random angles. It would have been slightly amusing to see him this way if it was for another reason. I spun the ring on my finger a few times and was tempted to say something.
"Robin, I-"
"Chrom, I-"
We both paused and chuckled slightly as I gestured for him to go first.
He awkwardly` ran his hand through his hair and breathed. "Are you sure? I mean you two didn't talk to each other for a whole three weeks." His blue eyes clear as I fiddled with my hands.
I smirked and sassed. "This coming from the man who had to take a month to work up the nerve to ask Sumia's hand in marriage."
I felt my face spreading in an awry smile. He rolled his eyes as I assured.
"I have never been more absolutely positive in my entire life."
"And you understand the commitment and danger-"
"Yes, I'm willing to take all of it the hardships and challenges. No matter what."
Chrom gave me a gentle look. "It was around five years ago that I found you in that field. Ever since that day I've viewed you like a little sister. Little did I know how much you would affect my life.
Robin you have been one of my most trusted companions, you have always had my back and have fought with me too many times to count. Our friendship is one of the things that makes me believe that this war can be won. "
I saw his eyes water slightly as he continued. "I want what's best for you, and I really think Priam is that. Since he joined you have been so happy. Robin he wouldn't trade the world for you. So I give full permission."
I nearly cried as I ran to Chrom and embraced him in a tight hug. He chuckled and hugged me back.
"Thank you Chrom." I whispered. I spun around and dashed out of the tent.
I looked over the audience and smiled at Priam.
I felt my heart spark as I smiled and tackled the love of my life.
"He gave us his blessing." I whispered a huge smile on my face.
His face broke out into a huge smile as he chuckled and spun me around the two of us elated. I looked over at Chrom and silently thanked him. I chuckled as I saw him get teary eyed the grown man smiling ear to ear while he hugged Sumia.
The two of us bowed and said our goodbyes. I sighed with relief as Priam gave me an amused glance.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing." He put his arm around me as I leaned into him. I felt him place a hesitant kiss onto my head. I felt my heart glow with warmth as I stopped and pulled the tall man into a kiss.
I smiled as I saw the man blush bright red.
"Look at that, red as a tomato." I teased lightly.
He tried to muster up a frown but it slowly turned into a smile as he stopped and gently taking my jaw he tilted my head up and completely kissed the living daylights out of me.
He drew back as I sighed in a daze.
I laughed my head in a daze as he smiled.
He interlaced his rough fingers into my scarred ones as the two of us walked side by side in the moonlight.
I'm the luckiest girl in the world.
indienote: Hello beauties! Man I forgot how short this chapter was! Personally I thought this was one of my most favorite ideas to work with and also I was low key mega inspired by the movie I'm watching right now (pride and prejudice).
But anyways I will update soon! Leave a Review if you feel like it and thank you for reading!
