CONFESSION CHAPTERS ARE HARD TO WRITE. Especially for this prick. But we love him. He's wonderful.

If you can't tell, it's all confessions for the first chapters. The roman numerals next to each name in the chapter names represent the chapter FOR that character. So, these are all the FIRST chapters for the characters. When I get a certain amount of the confessions done I might take a break from them and mess with extra chapters. So, I'd mess with the next set of stuff. We'll see.

Lon'qu I ~I confess…~

"I-I confess…I do have feelings for…Gods! Must all these emotions be so vexing?"

"I can't believe I had to go in there…damnit! All this for one woman…"

The Myrmidon didn't half get weird looks from the female staff members at the jewelry store while he was in there. They were very curious why he didn't want to go near them…

Yes, Lon'qu had entered a women's store. In truth, he was completely smitten with a certain tactician who had stolen his heart with her strange ways of showing affection and trying to force a laugh out of him. He didn't know why, but she had crawled her way into his life and he didn't want her to leave. He needed her in his life…

He was terrified of women, usually, because he didn't ever want them to get so close to him…he didn't want another woman he cared for dying protecting him. But he was going to protect Robin.

That is…if she even accepted the ring he was going to give her. He had a feeling she didn't think much of him. At times he did seem quite sexist, to most women. Really, he didn't care much for that kind of thing, if a woman could fight, they could fight. It didn't matter to him. But, he was PREEEEEETTY sure that Robin wouldn't think the same way.

"Lon'qu?"

She had the worst timing, too.

"R-Robin?!"

"Well…I didn't expect to see you walking out of a woman's establishment. What's the occasion?"

"No occasion, just…well…" He wasn't going to fool her. She just raised her brow at him a little as she blinked in confusion. "It's none of your business…"

"Well, I'm almost proud that you could go in there. Proud and…surprised."

"And? What are you doing in town?"

"Ricken and Henry told me about a stall in the market selling some rare texts. They suggested I stop by. Turns out I already had all of those texts. Still, I'm a little concerned that you haven't answered MY question yet, really. I know you think it's none of my business, but…are you hiding something?"

"N-No! Why the hell would you think that?"

"You're acting secretive. Oh, well…I suppose I can't do much about that. If you're heading back to camp, would you mind me walking with you?"

"…I-I suppose that's fine…"

"You've definitely gotten better with women. I'm glad."

"Yes, well…I suppose that's thanks to you…"

"Oh? I don't know how, but I'm glad I could help."

"Well, those shenanigans of yours helped, in general. As annoying as they were…"

This earned him a small giggle which made his face heat up seeing her small smile gracing her soft features.

"I'm glad, Lon'qu. You've become much more tolerable, lately."

"Tolerable?"

"Well, yes. You weren't that likable at first, you know…it didn't help that you would pretty much avoid conversation with me because of your phobia. Cherche told me what caused that phobia…"

"W-What?! She had no right to-!"

"I know. I'm sorry that I asked her about it. I try to know as much as I can about the army, but you never told me a thing…I asked around and Cherche was worried about your phobia. I apologize…"

"…guh…no need to apologize…I'd have probably told you, one day, anyway…"

"I'm really glad, Lon'qu. You're a wonderful friend, now." There was that smile again…it was beginning to annoy him…he was about to give up and just throw the ring at her and ask her there and then. He knew his proposal wouldn't end up being special, but he just…wanted to get it over with. "At least battle was never affected by your phobia. I worried at first, but you really gained our trust, easily."

"Like I said when I met you; the Khan gave orders and I just stabbed people. That was my role. It is the same for Chrom and yourself."

"I'm glad. But, you need to show more personality. Come on…when I made you laugh, it was great! You should laugh more."

"I will do no such thing."

"Moody…" he couldn't help but find her little pout cute as they both walked together, heading towards the camp. "I still can't help but be curious what you've been up to today…you're not normally so secretive."

"Why must you keep going straight back to that? It doesn't matter what I was doing."

"Wasn't that a jewelry store you were in?"

"Does that matter?"

"Buying a gift for someone?"

"Robin…What I went in there for doesn't matter to anyone. It's only my business."

"…well, okay…"

Well, how was he supposed to propose to her now? Yeah, he had a little more of a clue about how she felt about him. She seemed indifferent, to be honest…he had a minor chance? It was either that or he was deluding himself…

He just couldn't tell.

The two ended up in silence, only the sound of their footsteps against the grass as the headed to the camp accompanying them on their travels. Weirdly, Lon'qu missed the sound of her voice…yeah, her voice wasn't soft or gentle like most cliché stories would say, but he liked how her voice was blunt and often sarcastic in her speech patterns. Hmm…

"Robin."

"Oh? It's not like you to start conversation, Lon'qu."

"Yes, well…I wanted to ask something."

"Ask away."

"Y-Yes…well…Gods, this is vexing…"

"Vexing? What is such a complex question that it has you so flustered? Oh…I mean it, your face is red."

True to her word, Lon'qu's face had heated up as he fumbled in his pockets a little, though he wouldn't let his eyes leave Robin's face as she just blinked up at him. This confused blinking turned into a stare of shock when Lon'qu ended up knelt on one knee before her. "W-What are you-?"

"Just…quiet…"

"Oh…"

To be frank, she could see exactly what he was doing. It was hardly an unknown gesture to drop down onto one knee in front of a woman. But, it still came as a shock, especially from Lon'qu, whom wanted nothing to do with a woman because of his past. His phobia seemed like it would never leave him, yet…here he was, before her, bringing out a small, golden ring and presenting it to her.

"L-Lon'qu…are you-?"

"Proposing? Well, if it isn't obvious, I must be doing something horribly wrong…"

"But…why me?"

"I…I'm not going to just spell out my feelings right here and now! That would be…humiliating. No, but…I wish for you to accept this. I…I know you probably don't feel much for me, but-"

"Well, you're wrong. You really don't know women at all, Lon'qu…I feel a lot for you. Maybe, at first I didn't like you much, but…well, spending so much time with you…I've come to really like you."

He wanted to make her blush, not the other way around! Damn…

"I'm…I'm glad…then, you…?"

"I accept…whole heartedly. I don't know how, but I fell for you…"

"Yes, well…it seems the same for me…I-I…I'm not exactly sure what to do next…"

"Maybe get off your knee…you're going to have grass stains on your trousers."

Embarrassed, Lon'qu quickly jumped up and stood before her, scratching at his neck like a shy young boy who just had a girl kiss him. It was almost cute for such a masculine warrior to suddenly act like this in front of a woman he had fallen for.

"So…this is why you were in that women's store?"

"Well…yes…it was hell…"

"Yes, you did it for me…how sweet." The raven haired man jumped a little when a pair of gentle arms wrapped around him gently, but he quickly relaxed into Robin's arms, placing his own hands against her small back. "It looks like your phobia is gone."

"Only for you…and that's why I wanted to marry you."

"Well…I'll gladly be yours…I won't leave your side."

And he trusted that she'd never leave him. She wasn't like the other women. She was special.
