Short story 11: "I... I l-love you.."

Lucina sat next to her best friend, Robin who was laying on his bed asleep. He had been ill for days, and unlike Lucina, his immune system was very strong. And he was usually the last one to get sick. But, this time, he wasn't. And it didn't seem like he was going to get any better. And although is room was a bright, and cheery yellow, the room just felt sad. She looked around the place. Pictures, everywhere. Most of the pictures were of him and Some of the other Sheperds. But then there were two others on his nightstand. One of them was a picture of her and him. He had his arms resting on her shoulders, and had his hands folded. While she was blushing and looked kind of embarrassed, and was resting her hands on his. And in the other picture, was her and Morgan. The teen was holding her hand, asleep and resting her head on her shoulder, and Lucina was asleep as well. She picked up the picture of her and Robin, and just stared at it. She didn't know he cared THAT much. She felt something on the palm of her hand. "D-do you... Remember th-that day..?" A shaky voice asked. Lucina looked down at, Robin. He had grabbed her hand and looked like the doors of death were starting to open for him. She couldn't help but let the tears fill her eyes. "...I s-urprised y-you when you w-w-weren't looking.." He said as his voice broke, and was barely more than a whisper. Lucina nodded and put the picture back, and then looked down and tried not to let the tears spill from her eyes at how horribly ill he was. "Hey..." She looked back up at him with misty eyes. She felt like there was nothing she could do to help him. "I'll be o-" he was cut off by a tear falling from her eye. Lucina's eyes widened and she quickly wiped it away as her face heated up in embarrassment. "I-...I'm sorry.. I don't even know why I'm crying...!" She said trying to make the flow stop. But she couldn't. They just kept coming. And she also lied. She knew why she was crying. "I'm useless in this situation!" She scolded herself in her mind. She closed her eyes and wished for them to stop, before a hand was placed on her cheek. She opened her eyes to see Robin. She placed her hand over his, and leaned her head over to that side. Although most of the time he had a bit more color than Lucina, this time their porcelain tones matched. This time, she just let the tears fall. She didn't care if it was showing her weakness anymore. "It's o-okay...! I p-promise you I'm g-oing to be o-okay... I... L-love you..." He said shakily. Lucina smiled through her tears.

"I love you too, Robin..."
