Marth x Reader: My Princess

Chapter 4: What now?

I had awoken in a bed foreign to me, with Robin, Corrine, and Ike by my bedside arguing about nothing in particular. 

"Ah the hero awakens!" Ike says in a peppy voice, as I try to get up and face them.

"Don't get up yet! Your wounds will open again!" Corrine said with concern in her eyes. I saw Roy and Corrin in the room with them as well.

"How are you feeling?" Robin asked. Something about him was off. I just could not put my finger on it.

"Fine thank you. Did you guys follow through with my request?" I asked nervously.

"Yes, Marth has still not seen your face, but Black widow or should I say, (y/n) (l/n), I have some questions I would like you to answer." Robin said clearly dreading my responses. The others looked saddened once he said the magic words. After a moment of silence, I spoke up.

"Alright. You got me. What do you want to know?"

"Why did you save Marth? What in it for you? As far as we know, your known as one of the best assassins in the kingdom. Unless there is something deeper under your facade."

"It's a long story.."

"Well we've got all night or afternoon. After only a few hours of travel, you woke up once we placed you in that bed. We are not going to head back to the kingdom till morning." Corrin said.

I sighed in defeat and began my tale of woe. After telling them my life story, everything seemed to click for them. Their looks changed to pity as they heard about the horrid things I went through as a child, and as an adult. 

"Then that's why you saved him. You could not bear the thought of losing him because of you, even though you did not originally cause the situation. You loved him then and you still do now." Robin spoke with understanding and sadness. I just nodded in response. 

"We should get you too back together! Marth talks about you all the time! Always staring off into space wondering where you are, day dreaming about what you look like now, your future together, it's really cute!" singsonged Roy as he tried to persuade you. 

"I want to but, I can't"

"Huh?!? But why? You guys would make the cutest couple!!" Corrine fangirled. 

"You saw what can happen to him because of me! I don't want him or myself to go through that again." I cried softly not wanting to show signs of weakness. 

"But what if your gone and that happens to him again? Without you Marth would have died!" Ike shouted.

"Enough. She has been though a lot these past few days. Let her make her own decisions." Robin countered before he gave me a chance to respond. "Come down with us. You don't have to join us at the table or show your face, He talks about you every meal. Your times together good and bad, how you have affected him. Just listen and make your decision from there." 

I hesitated for a second, then responded,"Alright."

~~~~Time skip~~~~ 

After I had gotten out of bed, got dressed and freshened up with the help of Corrine, I walked down stairs and sat by the bar unnoticed by my happy comrades, besides Robin. You can't get anything by him. I spotted Marth and listened closely for his voice. Robin noticed this and changed the subject.

"Off topic but, if you were to see miss (y/n) now, at this very inn, what would you do?"

Marth looked surprised by this, but looked happy to indulge into his fantasies of him and I.

"Well I would be shocked to say the least. I would run up to her and hug her, kiss her, tell her that I love her. Then I would ask her where she has been while we were apart. After we reminisced awhile, I would induce her to all of you guys! Then I would make a toast to my lovely, beautiful, irreplaceable (y/n). And that's as far as I'm willing to tell you." As everyone laughed, I blushed at this. He still thinks all these things about me? "Ah your black widow right? The one who saved my life? Come have a drink with us! It's thanks to you that I am sitting here today."
