Secret Meeting

Stressful

Robin pulled the covers over him immediately,  too embarrassed to face Sumia. Chrom put his arm over him and rubbed his arm throughout the sheets.

"Not interested in relationships,  Captain? With any of the women, huh? I can see why." she said smugly. "Just wait until the other Shepherds hear you've been laying with your 'Prized Tactician'." She walked closer.

"Oh dear! It looks like you're not wearing any clothes too! But I don't see you kicking Robin out here, screaming and yelling!" she raised her voice to try to get attention.

"Sumia, wait! Don't let anyone else know, please." Chrom pleaded.

"Why shouldn't I?" she crossed her arms.

"Because it should be up to us to decide when to come public with our relationship."

"It should be. But oh well." She smiled and walked out.

"Robin, I..."

He removed the covers and glared at Chrom. "I told you! I told you many times to keep our relationship as private as possible! But no, you couldn't control your urges for one day, and now look what happened! I'm so mad, I just...I don't want to see you right now. Put your clothes on and leave."

"Im sorry, Robin..." Chrom got dressed and left.

Robin sighed, getting dressed as well and sitting in his bed. How could he be so foolish? This could have been prevented if Chrom would just have stayed in his own tent.

Damn it!

Sumia walked in with a smirk on her face.

"I'll cut a deal with you."

"What is it?" he raised a brow.

"Get Chrom to agree to date me and go public with it. If you can do that, I'll happily forget what I saw tonight."

"...Are you mad?"

"Perhaps. Do we have a deal?"

"...I'll see what I can do."

"Wonderful." and with that, she left.

"That's insane! I won't do it." Chrom cried out. "I should just kick her from the Shepherds."

"Think! She will tell everyone about us. And that we kicked her because of it. That is damaging to your reputation."

"I..I don't know what to do.

"Looks like we don't have a choice."

"Gods! This is so stressful." Chrom sighed.

"I know. We have to do this for us though.

They hugged each other.

"I'm sorry,  my love."
