Author's Note: Final Paralogue. This one's shorter due to being a confession of sorts, and I really was out of ideas
Dream 3- Robin Second(Chapter 3)
Robin was highly anxious. He saw Chrom suspicious, Lucina somewhat awkward around him, and felt he was being stared at the whole time. It wasn't too long before his secret would be busted. The thought of hiding something so big haunted him.
As such, his sleep would probably be just as stressful. But he prayed otherwise.
He finally managed to doze off after a couple minutes.
Robin found himself walking in camp before dawn. Everyone was still asleep, to his relief, since he'd have time to himself before duties began. The ever rampant thought of Lucina continued to infest his mind like a disease as he wondered what development would occur today.
He was about to get an answer.
Passing around tents, he noticed that behind his, there was a book stranded on the ground and open. He realized it wasn't a tome of his, but that there was something written on it. Curious, he picked up the book and read the written words:
"HI. BEHIND YOU."
Robin stared at the wording, confused.
"Behind me...?" he thought.
He turned around to see...nothing.
"What kind of prank is this?" he asked himself.
Turning back around, he saw a piece of paper on the ground. Picking it up, it read:
"YOUR TENT"
Robin was baffled. Either this was the most elaborate joke in the world or a trap. Or both.
Returning to his tent, he found that it was completely dark, just as he left it. Despite this, he felt insecure. He just knew he was being watched.
"Robin." said a voice.
Robin started to freeze as horror looked him right between the eyes.
It was Lucina, stepping out of the darkness, staring intently at him.
He was paralyzed.
"We need to talk, Robin." she said.
"A-about what, Lucina?" asked Robin, nervously.
Lucina began blushing lightly.
"You know what. We've been awkward these past few days and pretty much everyone has witnessed it, even if they haven't made the connection. So let's get this out of the way."
She stepped forward and put her hands on Robin's shoulders, making him blush.
"It's not a secret anymore, Robin, so I'll ask right here, right now. Would I be the one you're in love with?"
Robin was still mentally stuck. He knew he was in the safe to answer truthfully, but nervous because there was no "safe" answer. Literally anything he said could have a consequence.
"Lucina...it's no secret that I love you at this point. But it's still a secret...that I can't live without thinking about you. Your rare smile through that serious demeanor is comforting to the heart."
Tears began to form in Lucina's eyes. "Robin..." she said.
Likewise, Robin began watering up as well. "Please, Lucina. Don't ever go. I need you."
Lucina cried into Robin's chest. "Robin...I won't ever leave you, just as long as you never leave me. Always together..."
Robin kept comforting Lucina as he thought that it was the happiest day of his life.
And it would have been, too.
"Come back." said his voice.
Robin's eyes shot open, still hugging Lucina. Why did he hear his own voice?
"Tell the actual Lucina this." said the voice, again.
Robin was still confused, hearing his own voice have him paranoia.
"What do you mean-"
Robin suddenly awoke, realizing that he was dreaming. The best day of his life came in the form of a dream. "No...why a dream?!" he thought, tearing up in bed.
As he cried, he realized that his forehead was slightly humid, but he wasn't sweating at all. It almost felt...lip-shaped.
"A kiss...?" he said to himself. "Lucina wasn't...watching me, was she?"
A big smile illuminated his face as he laid back down. There may have been hope yet that he was dreaming the truth.
Closing Note: Phew. I had some trouble writing this because I wanted to differentiate it from the finale I had already written. That and it may be too short for some. Regardless, should it continue in some way? Maybe a Xenologue? Leave a review!
