Stay With Me (Robin + Maria)

I Had This Idea

(A/N: I'm really running out of Robin and Maria gifs i apologize but ENJOY)

Music: Sea Horses ( from the movie's soundtrack)

*Maria's POV* 

          I was relieved, to say the least, that i now knew that Robin was in fact alive. He was still very injured. The bandage was soaked with blood from being wrapped around his wound for so long and the underneaths of his eyes were stained a purple and black color from sleep deprivation, but he was still Robin and nothing could change his persistent attitude. 

           "You should go rest." I suggested after playing the piano for what seemed like an hour. He insisted that i go back to playing the piano when he had interrupted me before, so i did. My fingers glided with ease over the keys, making beautiful sounds, both high and low, as Robin sit on the bench next to me. He was entertained by both the music and playing with the ringlets in my reddish hair. He ran his fingers over the blue bow tied in my hair before looking me directly in the eyes. 

          "Then you should too." I did have to admit, i was quite tired myself from all the antics and dramatics the day held, but i didn't really want to sleep, my mind was too frantic with its thoughts. Like, what would happen if Robin almost dies again while i sleep, or what if who ever shot him comes back to shoot him again? I doubt that these thoughts were any good for me because all they did was make me worry but they were valid thoughts. "Have you been crying?" Robin's voice was soft as he brushed the rough skin of his thumb underneath my eyes gently to wipe away my semi-dried tears that had been smudged black from my makeup. I shook my head 'no', obviously lying but too stubborn to admit it.  "You don't have to worry about me, Maria... give me some more credit than that." He chuckled, making me smile for a second. 

              "I'll help you to bed. Uncle Benjamin wouldn't like that you've been walking around so much..." I dismissed him, helping him off the bench as he limped next to me, clutching his hand to just below his ribs and gritting his teeth in pain. "Take it slow, Robin." I wrapped my arm around his waist and helped shuffle him up the many stairs and into the room he had been staying in. Wrolf still snarled and growled at Robin as he passed by but i had a feeling his anger towards Robin would soon subside. Hopefully, at least...

                 "You know to just call if you need anything." I murmured to him as i tucked him into the bed, making sure the blankets were tight around him because he was shivering relentlessly. He hummed a short 'mhm' before i noticed him looking me over. Self consciously i smoothed my dress down and avoided his eye contact completely. I cleared my throat before standing up to leave the room completely. I hadn't noticed how late it really was until i looked out the window in his room to find the sky completely pitch black. "Good night." I went to leave the room hastily.

                 "Maria, wait..." His voice was a little shaky as he called to me just as i had reached the door. My hand trembled slightly as i turned back to him. I don't know why i was so nervous right now, i was always around Robin, but this time something felt different, like i had butterflies fluttering in my stomach. 

                  "Yes?"

                  "Can you- uh- lay with me?" A lopsided anxious grin fell on his lips and my body froze up. "I just know i can't sleep and it's cold in here..." He said quickly like he was trying to cover himself up. I found myself smiling at his request for some reason.

                   "Sure, Robin." I walked over to the bed, peeling the blankets back before climbing in next to him. He turned to face me, and i laid with my back to him. To my surprise he soon snaked his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him until my back was molded to his chest. It was shockingly comforting and i found myself relaxing within seconds. For a few seconds it was dead silent, i could only feel his warm breath on my neck as i started to close my eyes. 

                     "Maria..." He whispered and i made a quiet sound so he knew i was listening. "I had this idea..."I felt his arm shaking slightly around me. "That uh-" There was a pause like he was thinking this over diligently. "That we could, might, possibly go out some time?... only if you want..." 

                   "Robin De Noir, are you asking me out." I had a sly smile on my face as i listened to him stumble with his words. "I don't think Uncle Benjamin would like that... so i absolutely will." I giggled.
