Chapter 29

Robin smiled to himself as he considered what Tommen had told him. Renly and Loras were going to the Tyrell's beach house in The Reach; they had invited Tommen and Robin to come along. He was eager to go, although he still had to clear things over with his mother.

Mum has been trying so hard; it's still tentative, uncertain, but she's trying.' He thought to himself. 'I'll have to try hard to convince her to let me go, but she can be convinced, of that I'm certain.'

So, preparing himself he made his way downstairs and finally found his mother in the living room with Petyr.

"Mum." He called out as he approached them.

They turned, Lysa smiled. "Yes Robin?"

"I just got a call from Tommen." He explained; she nodded and waited for him to continue. "Loras and Renly have invited Tommen and me to go on a holiday to the Reach with them."

He could see his mother bite her lip; normally she would have said no immediately; but now she was actually considering it.

He then added. "They think it could do us some good, after what happened, the kidnapping and all."

Lysa nodded slowly; still feeling somewhat awkward. Petyr caught Robin's eye and nodded gently, they both knew she was considering everything carefully.

After some silence Robin shifted awkwardly; having spent so long in shorts, he was still getting used to wearing jeans and such; he knew it was a big change for his mother too, but he felt it helped, helped her see how he was grown up now.

"So, um…" He said at last. "Can I…?"

Lysa sighed. "Oh…I don't know it…"

Petyr then spoke. "I think it's an excellent idea love; like Robin said, this could be just what he and Tommen need."

"That's true. Very well, you can go, Robin." Lysa replied, smiling.

Robin grinned and pulled a slip of paper from his pocket, handing it to his mother.

"Thanks mum, here, this is Loras' number." He told her. "If something happens, you can call him, or if we have any problems there, he'll call you."

Lysa nodded; happy and Robin headed upstairs; a feeling of both relief and elation swelling up inside him. The moment he entered his room he pulled out his phone and called Tommen. The phone rang a couple of times before Tommen answered.

"Hi Robin." He greeted cheerfully.

Robin grinned. "Hey, I just spoke to mum about the holiday; she said yes."

Tommen laughed. "Awesome; can't wait; this is gonna be great."

"Yeah, I'll see you soon; I better get packing." Robin replied.

Tommen agreed and they hung up; Robin soon got to work packing; looking forward to the upcoming holiday.

Much later, Robin smiled as he stood on the beach; the sun was shining and he had to admit, he had been having a great time. Loras and Renly had been right; this holiday was just what he and Tommen needed.

He sat down on a nearby rock, looking out to sea; he brushed his hands on his light blue swimming trunks, part of his beach attire; the rest being a blue T-shirt and brown sandals.

'This is incredible, it's so much fun, I never imagined I would ever…' He thought to himself. 'In a way, everything, even the kidnapping and embarrassment of constantly wearing short trousers, helped, it all led up to this…I need to tell him, I've delayed to long; Tommen must know the truth.'

As he thought that he spotted Tommen approaching, grinning; he too was dressed for the beach. Tommen's trunks were red, his T-shirt white and he also wore red flip-flops. Renly and Loras were currently inside the beach house; Robin decided now was as good a time as any.

Tommen sat down next to Robin, grinning. "This is nice, huh?"

"Yeah, it sure is." Robin replied; now was the time. "Tommen, there's something I wanna say…I tried to tell you before, in the hospital."

Tommen nodded. "I remember that, what was it?"

"This."

With that Robin leaned in and kissed him. Tommen let out a startled noise, surprised, but then, eagerly, returned the kiss, surprising Robin too. Before long, the surprise faded however and they deepened their kiss, overjoyed, as they had finally truly found each other.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.

Well, that's the end of the Tommen/Robin arc, just the epilogue to go now.
