AN: Oh part 2, part 2, why must you be...why am going all poetic? Ah screw it!
Well I recall in the summer and hot spring DLC, Anna had a 'Snapshot Tome' pretty much a camera so I decided to make my own little invetion...BEHOLD (No not you Owain!) the "Music Tome"! Pretty simple think of it like a jukebox or some speakers...you'll see why. ;P.
BTW I had my IPod on shuffle and when this song came up...I had the biggest inspiration ever!
Just enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 24: Festival of Bonds Part 2
Being separated from Severa, Chrom sighed to himself and his daughter's antics.
"She's rather shy about her feelings if I think about it." the king muttered to himself.
After encountering Yarne and Nah in the animal display, father and daughter split of but of course, Chrom being the good and lovely father, he told her he loves her. The girl was quickly flustered and stuttered a love you too back, then she want back to her usual tsundere self again. Right now Chrom was heading towards a more crowded area of the festival.
"Wise men say only fools rush in!"
The voice appealed to the crowd around him and glanced at a stage with a long line at the sidelines. Chrom felt he heard the voice before and decided to head towards audience instead.
"But I can't help falling in love with you!" the voice continued to sing.
He had a gut feeling it was someone he knew but Chrom didn't have name popping up. He took note of Gaius, Gregor and Ricken walking away from the audience with big smiles on their faces.
"Hey Blue." the thief waved casually.
"Hey guys what's going on here?" inquired the king.
"Shall I say, would it be a sin!"
He took note how Ricken seemed to be hiding behind the taller and wiser mercenary, who looked very alert for once. The weird part was Ricken, despite being short and looking younger than his actual age, looked like a woman with the wig.
"Well good old Gregor here got a couple of women on his tail so he decided Ricken could be a 'she' for a bit." snickered Gaius. 'While me, being the good fellow and Shepherd I am, decided to help the two out and hid here."
"So why the smiles?" asked Chrom.
"W-Well your wife has an amazing voice!" Ricken squeaked attempted to keep his voice high pitched..
"Plus your daughter their is being cute as always." Gaius added.
"Dual singing seems most fun, yes?" Gregor wondered.
"It's called duet, Merc." Gaius corrected.
As they said their quick farewells, Chrom was even more curious now. As he got a good view of the crowd he gasped at the size.
"Take my hand!"
"Take my hand!" his daughter's voice echoed.
The size of the crowd was even bigger than his coronation as king of Ylisee! Chrom took a rather good look at the stage. There was two very large tomes at the side, blasting sound. Meanwhile on top of the stage were tomes glued around the curtains producing some sort of light show.
"Take my whole life too!"
Chrom felt anxious for some reason as he kept on moving through the crowd that was very excited about the performance. He quickly noted an Anna by the side of the stage counting gold. Then he finally got a good sight of who was on stage.
"R-Robin?!" he blurted out.
The tactician didn't hear him, due to how loud the tomes seemed to echo the woman's voice. It seemed like Robin was looking around the crowd for someone.
"Morgan?!" Chrom continued on.
The young girl was echoing some of her mother's words. She smiled and waved excitedly at their audience. Suddenly Morgan grabbed one of the dancer at the back.
"By the gods Inigo?! Oliviaa?!" a now confused Chrom blurted out. "I-I thought he was out for the day?!"
Inigo with the biggest blush, that could match his mother, stared at the crowd. Chrom winced from how loud the girl's within the crowd cheered on. The dancer's son grabbed Morgan's hand and started to twirl her around. Meanwhile Robin smiled at the children and started to dance along a smiling Olivia.
"They seemed to be having so much fun." smiled Chrom as the crowd around him started to get louder.
"Like a river flows to the sea!" Inigo held the mic that was still being grasped by his sister. "Some things are meant to be!"
"Some things are meant to be!" Morgan sang with a smile too.
It was then quickly switched, Morgan and Inigo were a duet while both their mothers were just simply dancing to pass the time. Timed seemed to pass so quickly as all four of them sang the last line of their supposed song.
"I can't help falling in love with you!" Olivia sang as a blush started to form.
"I can't help falling in love with you!" Both Morgan and Inigo simultaneously vocalized, and towards each other.
Chrom then realized both his wives and children finally took note of him. As Robin went down to get him, Chrom realized the crowd around him was letting his wife through with huge smiles. He too was blushing as Robin suddenly grabbed his hand. The man was quickly dragged towards the stage and now he had all these people staring right at him, in sheer curiosity. He never realized the music was building up, during that time.
"Falling in love with you." Robin finished the last line.
The tactician was staring unto her beloved's eyes. She couldn't help but blush as Morgan and Inigo cheered them both. Robin approached him with a shy look, rivaling Olivia. Then she slowly caressed the man's cheek, only her blush getting bigger. Chrom couldn't help himself any longer as he crushed his lips towards her's.
"O-Oh my!" Olivia blushed even more as she approached the couple.
All five of them seemed to ignore the crowd cheering rather wildly. Morgan couldn't help but giggle and stare at Inigo.
"W-What is it Morgan?" stuttered the flirty mercenary.
Robin's daughter only smiled rather shyly at him, and giggled some more. She stopped her giggling for a request. "Can you teach me how to dance? It looks so beautiful!"
"S-Sure." Inigo agreed quickly.
The two children decided to look what was happening with their parents.
"M-My turn!" Olivia shyly beamed up.
Chrom then felt another pair of lips on his. Ignoring the ever growing wild audience, Chrom dominated Olivia right away. He could quickly tell the differences from each lip. He wouldn't go full detail but he knew Robin tended to initially lead while Olivia wanted guidance.
"So that's song was for me?" grinned Chrom towards both his wives.
"Yup, they said it can be a group performance so I got Olivia and Inigo here to help too." described Robin.
"Rather fun to practice the dance, mother and I were trying out." Inigo prided himself until he felt shy. "Though please don't tell my brothers and sisters."
"Family secrets." Chrom nodded, until he frowned. "Inigo I thought your were knocked out for the rest of the day."
"W-Well p-people from F-Ferox t-tend to have a s-stronger t-tolerance." explained the dancer. "I-Inigo l-let O-Owain win."
"So as Owain bragged on about a new 'drinking partner'." Inigo air quoted the last two words. "Mother dragged me out, just in time for Robin to get us to perform."
"Father it was so fun!" beamed up Morgan as she hugged him.
Chrom realized the dispersing crowd and approaching cleaning crew. He smiled to himself as he lead on, with some of his family right by his side.
"Best day ever."
END AN: Ha did not expect a concert chapter did ya? Well I wanted to acknowledge some of the Festival DLC conversation, like the Gregor and Ricken one which made me laugh so damn hard XD. Also I believe it was also thanks to this DLC the Inigo and Gerome duo was born. It was subtle in the support convos but this DLC amp it up!
I am fully aware of having Morgan and Inigo having more chapter time than the others and all. I'll tell you why, I love their support convo since Morgan was the only love interest that wasn't warning or threatening Inigo! Plus them being siblings in game...why not?
Ummm kissing scenes...yeah not the best and I don't wanna be that detail with like every muscle or skin tingling. Brrrrr.
Well for the weekend I'll be out of state. I'll be back around late sunday-ish so yeah. No chapters for that long. (Then I wonder if anyone actually read these and respond via reviews/critic.)
So uh...enjoy your day/night?
