Though the sun had begun to settle into the horizon, bringing the period of daylight to a close, there was still much activity just outside the half-open window on the wall adjacent to Robin. From the fresh air that entered inside, he breathed in the scent of freshly cut grass, and the flowers blooming in the garden just outside the window. His phone screen lit up on the chair it was resting upon, presenting his sisterâs quick response. He cleared the message from his phone, before casting his gaze down the hallway. Chrom was in the laundry room, folding the clothes that had just finished in the dryer. I ought to tell him weâll have a guest soon. He thought to himself, rising to his feet.
His life was peaceful now. Chrom was protective by nature, and invested extra effort in attending to his needs. When he had nightmares, he held him until he calmed. When he had a migraine, he turned out all the lights in the house, massaging his temples. He even tried to make him tea, once. He burnt the leaves, but the gesture was still enough to make Robin smile. Chrom was clumsy, but sincere. In truth, he didnât know how he would care for himself with his past trauma, had it not been for him. They hadnât known one another long, but they both felt an equal connectionâŚthat they were just meant to be. Their relationship had saved him in so many ways.
âHey Chrom. Robyn is going to stop by. Do you mind if she stays the night?â
Chrom was incredibly accommodating.
Robin switched on the porch light, as he knew it would make it easier for his sibling to locate the house. Chrom had agreed she could stay for the night immediately, and for that, Robin was grateful. He sat in the foyer, looking to his feet with a small sigh.Â
He was pulled from his thoughts at the sound of quiet knocking. Rising to his feet, he made his way to the door, opening it to see none other than his gloomy sister.
âHey. Come on in.â He said, not bothering to ask how she was feeling. He already knew the answer, and it was not a positive one.
The overwhelming feeling of multiple emotions flooded forth once she laid eyes on her brother who answered the door. She was so relived to see him. Smiling at him, with tears in her eyes when he gave the simple invite to come in. Taking her things over to a coffee table, she set her things down before throwing her arms around Rob. Robyn let out a pathetic sob, relieved, scared, and had missed him.
âItâs wonderful to see you again... Iâm sorry it had to be in these circumstances.â
During her emotional episode, Chrom stepped in, leaning against the wall without as much as a word. Itâd be in poor taste to interrupt her, fully aware of the hell his significant other and his sister went through.
Opening her eyes, Robyn noticed the blue-haired man from the corner of her gaze. With a brief flush of embarrassment, she rested her eyes, her head throbbing from the many tears she shed.
