This is literally my English 200 Paper. Just a short story about Chrom and Robin becoming friends in an Alternate Universe.

The Boy Who Barely Said A Word

Robin Medeus was never one to talk much. He was so quiet that even his own twin sister couldn't remember the sound of his voice if a person asked her. At first glance, anyone would've thought that there was something off about him. In fact, he was always constantly seen with a book opened in his hand and the look of complete indifference on his childish face.

His silver, almost white hair was unkept and a bit long, though it never passed his shoulders. His vibrant, emerald eyes were hard to catch since they were constantly hidden from the glare of his thin, rectangular framed glasses. Heck, anyone would be considered lucky if Robin bothered to glance up at them. He always wore a dark purple hoodie that was two sizes too big for him over a t-shirt of any color he picked to wear and a pair of jeans with a set of sneakers. In all honesty, Robin was never seen without his hoodie, not even during the burning days of summer.

If anything, Robin was considered as the creepy kid in his school. Well, as creepy as he could possibly be with his silence. He was always on the top of his class academically, never missing a single assignment, but he was barely in the classroom to begin with, almost as if he was never there in the first place. He was like a ghost in a way. Everyone gave up on trying to make him talk or attend class. After all, he did the work and passed anyway. So, why even bother?

Yet, he wasn't a ghost. He wasn't the most timely person on the earth, nor the smartest person in class. He was just Robin; a kid who wanted nothing more but to keep his silence with reason.

Well, that was until he met a blue haired idiot.

._._._._.

Robin heaved a long, heavy sigh as he practically collapsed on the soft, green grass under the shade of a cherry blossom tree in the back of the school building. His ever so present book was laying haphazardly by his thin, pale hands. He was already exhausted and a fourth of the school day hadn't even passed yet. His entire morning was filled with his sister, Ravina, babbling on and on about the upcoming events that was scheduled to happen at their school.

The Cultural Festival.

He didn't give a single damn about that, even though he was assigned as one of the event planners. Heck, he never signed up for any of that crap and his sister had the gall to throw him in the mix, despite knowing that he would never have done so in the first place. With her position as school president, he didn't have much of a choice anymore.

"It'll be all right," she said, "just three weeks of planning with fun people and that's it. I promise."

Heh, yeah, three weeks of dealing with fun people.

As if.

He laid there for a moment, contemplating whether or not he should just take a nap before he was forced work. Yet, with one glance at his book, he decided to get back up. He grabbed his book and leaned against the trunk of the tree, opening it to a dog-eared page to settle into his routine: read all day and ignore the world.

Robin had been doing the same thing since he entered middle school. He would always find a quiet place to read that no one would bother to head to and stay there until it was time to go home. Since he shared classes with his twin, Ravina would always tell him what they did in class and give him the homework and assignments. The daily routine didn't break when they entered high school. It was like Ravina knew that there was nothing she could do.

…Then again, that was probably why she threw him into the planning committee in the first place.

With that horrid thought in his head, Robin turned to his book, losing himself in the world of fantasy.

._._._._._.

The bell rang only a few minutes ago, forcing Robin to close his beloved book and head to the Student Council Room. His feet literally dragged themselves all the way there as he walked past the several students leaving to go home. He wished that he could go home like them, but he did love his sister to a certain degree. He wasn't about to completely brush Ravina like a fool.

When he got to the student council room, he was certainly not the first one there. It was already crowded with students from other classes and years, all chattering away with excitement. He took a seat at the farthest back corner, his gaze focused on the words of his book while he did his best to ignore the stares of confusion and shock.

"Whoa! Isn't that…. that other Medeus kid?" asked a student in front of him

"He's here?" said another.

"Hold on…. Who's that guy?"

With the sudden whispers of his appearance around him, Robin was beginning to wonder why he even bothered to come here. Then again, he was surprised that a few people even recognized him. His sister suddenly entered the room with a bright smile and seemingly endless enthusiasm.

"Hey, everyone! Thanks for making the time to make it here to today! With that said, let's get down to business…" she began, but Robin turned most of his attention to his book. Ravina quickly talked about the key points of the next few days; the due dates, the expectations, and the classroom themes. She was knowledgable of the time and made it easy for everyone to follow her words. Within ten minutes, she had the volunteers split up into their groups, making sure that every student got to know each other.

Robin didn't dare to move from his place as he kept his eyes trained on his book but ears open to hear. He didn't have to wait long for Ravina to appear in front of him and place her pale hand in his line of sight. He frown and finally lifted his eyes to meet his sister's. If anyone were to look at the two, they were practically mirror images; a thin physique, soft white hair, and emerald eyes. The only difference was the hair length and eye sight.

"Hey, Robin! Glad you made it!" Ravina said with a bright smile. Robin nearly glared at her but was quick to settle with a passive stare as she continued. "I hope you don't mind, but I'm teaming you up with someone from our class. You all right with that?"

Robin finally turned his gaze away from his sister and had to restrain himself from snapping his book closed. There, standing right next to his sister, was the most popular, blue-haired kid in school.

Chrom Lowell.

The teen was the best in absolutely every sport that the school had. Not only was he athletic, he was one of the top students in their whole junior year. His hair was a royal blue and styled neatly on his head with a matching eye color to boot. Chrom had a grin on his face and stood with the confidence Robin lacked as he gave him a quick wave.

"Hey! Nice to actually meet you for once," he greeted. For some odd reason, Robin felt a bit offended by that statement and wanted to wipe that smile of his face. "I'm Chrom Lowell."

Robin stared at the offered hand in front of him. He didn't bother to shake it and blatantly ignored it as he looked to his sister. There was an awkward silence as Ravina and Chrom shared a look of uneasiness.

"Uhm, right." Chrom said, quickly dropping his hand and turning to Ravina. "Don't worry, Ravina. I got this."

Robin blinked, giving Chrom a slightly raised eyebrow. Well, those were pretty bold words coming from him.

Ravina looked a little skeptical as she tossed a quick glance at Robin, but nodded anyway. "All right. I'm depending on you both now!"

The two boys watched as Ravina hurried off to another group nearby. Robin wanted to hurry after her, tug her sleeve and shake his head vigorously to express his discontent. How in the world did his sister expect him to actually deal with a person who talks so much?

He discreetly chewed on the back of his bottom lip as Chrom cleared his throat.

"Ahem, so, ah…." he trailed off as Robin stared at him intently. Robin knew for a fact that his stare was unnerving, so maybe Chrom wouldn't want to work with him if he just— "…I need your number. Gotta establish a way of communication, right?"

Robin watched as Chrom pulled out his smartphone and did something with it. For a moment, Chrom focused on the screen and tapped a few times before looking up at Robin with an easy-going smile. Robin blinked, not understanding why Chrom wasn't handing over his phone to type in his number (not that he was actually going to), until the boring ringtone of his own phone made itself known.

Shocked, Robin tore his gaze away from Chrom and shoved his hand in his jean's pocket. He yanked his phone out of his pocket and started at the screen displaying a number he didn't have. He quickly hit the call button, jerking his head up at Chrom. The blue haired teen was grinning as he showed Robin his screen.

Robin stared at his name in utter shock. Who—

"Sorry to be rude, but your sister figured that you wouldn't really give me your number. So, Ravina was nice enough to give it to me. I hope you don't mind." Chrom said as he hung up the call. He took Robin's phone out of his hand and made a few taps on the screen. "Wow, you really don't have any numbers on here, do you?"

Robin moved to grab his phone back, but Chrom was quick to take a step out of range. "Don't worry! I'm just adding something really important."

Robin only glared at him as he got his phone back a half a minute later.

"There," Chrom said, giving a pat on Robin's shoulder, "Now you have my number. Want to meet up tomorrow to come up with a few activities? I'll let you pick the place."

Robin clenched his phone tightly in his hand as he struggled to keep himself from running out of the room in frustration. He quickly typed something on his phone before stuffing it right in his pocket. He didn't bother to spare Chrom a glance as he reopened his book and walked away at a brisk pace.

"Hey! Wait Where are you—" Robin never heard the end that sentence, leaving the room without a sound or acknowledgement to anyone.

Oh, he was so going to kill his sister later…

…At least Chrom was nice enough to apologize.

Part 1 finished! XD So, tell me what you guys thought! I was literally trying to find something to write about and then Robin popped into my head. That's how this became my paper. Stupid, but desperate! Part Two should be up soon~
