summer of bonds :: chrom and robin (couple)  

Robin: As expected of one of the best resorts in the outrealms — this place feels great. It'd be fun if Chrom and I could be alone, just the two of us... We could swim, pick up seashells, chase each other along the beach...
((chrom appears))
Chrom: ... it's true, we never really considered playing at the beach back in our world.
Robin: Kya, Chrom!? D-did you hear what I said!?
Chrom: Yeah. It was impossible to ignore such a big monologue.
Robin: I'm... sorry for saying such frivolous things in the middle of battle...
Chrom: No, it's fine once in a while, right? You're always so tense when you're fighting... it's natural to want to cut loose when you come to such a place. And I too... I've always thought about the two of us spending time together in a place like this.
Robin: Chrom... I'm happy that you think so. I.... it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful ocean. Ah... no, it's possible that I've been to a place like this before, but I... don't remember, even if I have.
Chrom: Robin...
Robin: Sorry, I didn't mean to get so gloomy. More importantly, I'll try to relax a little, since you insist. I can't hog the general of this army all to myself, of course, but it's fine if I just go and see the beach for a bit, right?
((she leaves))
Chrom: ... it's rare to see Robin in such high spirits. I suppose this place being called one of best resorts in the outrealms isn't just for show. Since we're here and all, I really want to do something as a couple and make her happy... ... but, what do people do to make someone enjoy themselves? Should I be meddlesome like Frederick? Pick up all the shells that lie in her way? ..... there's too many, never mind. What else is there...
((robin appears))
Robin: Chrom, look, look! I caught this weird creature! Oh, this really is strange looking! I might be able to use this in my strategies...!
Chrom: .....
Robin: Chrom? What's wrong? Do you hate this? It might look, well, that, but it's cute if you get used to it.
Chrom: Ah, no... it's not that. I was just thinking. Don't worry about anything and play with that weird creature to your heart's content.
Robin: ... even if you say that...

part 2

Robin: Hey, Chrom. How's the situation over there... w-what's with that wreckage of seashells!?
Chrom: Ah, Robin? I thought about making jewelry with these seashells. I failed.
Robin: J-jewelry!? You were playing around with something like this? Well, they're all... impressively broken into tiny little pieces... how did this happen...
Chrom: I have confidence when it comes to breaking things.
Robin: Ah, yes, I know. ... and what's that behind you? It kind of looks like... charcoal.
Chrom: It's the burnt fish that I tried to cook.
Robin: Huh?
Chrom: I burnt the fish.
Robin: O-oh.... I see. Well, it can't be helped when you burn things. Also, the ruins of that sand castle, and that seaweed rolled into a ball that I don't quite understand, and that strained pile of tropical fruit... I'll pretend that I didn't see any of that.
Chrom: I see. Thanks.
Robin: ... hey, Chrom. I know I've been all cheery about this since before, but why don't you do all this later? We're in the middle of combat right now, after all.
Chrom: Sorry. I too thought that this might be a bad idea half way through... but, can you look at this?
Robin: ... w-what? Did you do even more weird thi..... wha—!?
Chrom: What do you think, Robin?
Robin: ... C-Chrom...!? What's, this... "I love you, Robin" is written on the sand... w-why is this...
Chrom: ... do you feel happy?
Robin: I-I'm not sure whether I feel happy or embarrassed... I'm sure that I'll never forget this, at least...
Chrom: I'm glad. If I didn't make you happy, at least I made you some memories.
Robin: !! ... Chrom, could it be that... this, and that wreckage from before, were to make me memories...?
Chrom: What, you didn't realize? Before, you pretended that you didn't care, but... you have no memory before the day you and I met. That's why I thought about giving you some happy memories in this place, even if it's just a little.
Robin: Chrom... is that so... ... thank you. But even without this, I have fun just by being together with you, and you have already given me a lot of happy, precious memories.
Chrom: ... really?
Robin: ... yes, really. When you found me that day, when we first fought together, when you accidentally saw me in the showers, when you confessed your feelings to me... I remember all of that, clearly. ... I will never forget you. Even if we're separated by death, or... if I lose my memory again.
Chrom: Robin... why are you saying that?
Robin: ?? It's just hypothetical. Why are you making that kind of face...
Chrom: Robin...
Robin: Hm? What...
Chrom: ......
Robin: ...!! C-Chrom, did you just... on my lips..!
Chrom: ... sorry, did you not like that?
Robin: N-no but...! We're in the middle of a battle, you know!? You understand that, right?
Chrom: No, it's just... you said something strange, so I just...
Robin: E-even so, the general of this army can't do something like this, all right! I-I'm leaving! You can go fight over there!
Chrom: Ah, hey, Robin!?
((she leaves))
Chrom: ... *sigh* Now I've done it... I'll apologize to her after...
((he leaves, robin appears))
Robin: ... honestly... we're in the middle of a battle, and Chrom just goes and does something like that...! I'll have to lecture him later... ..... he really did make me some unforgettable memories. Chrom, you idiot...
