"Um, Marth?" 

"Yes, Robin?" Marth asked, turning slightly from where he was having a conversation with Ike and sipping at his coffee. Actually I can't remember if he's a tea or coffee addict so I'll just say his caffeinated beverage. Because he doesn't drink alcohol this early unless he's extremely stressed. 

"Can I...?" Robin rubbed the back of his head nervously. This ruffled up his white hair and made it all sticky uppy. Which is honestly adorable. 

Marth looked a bit confused for a second, then his eyes widened almost comically and he flinched so hard he almost dropped his CAffEinAtEd BeVERagE. "OH! Yeah, of course. But, uh, I think you might be a bit better off talking to Sheik about this kind of thing...?"

"No, I don't want to bother him. Last I saw, he was a bit busy squabbling with Link and Pit over Mario Kart." Robin laughed awkwardly. 

"Ah, ok. Yeah they get intense about Mario Kart-" Marth was interrupted by a sudden shout from the next room. 

"AHA! TAKE THAT, MOTHERFUCKER!" Link yelled. 

"OH FOR THE LOVE OF HYLIA HERSELF." Sheik yelled back. "LINK, THERE'S A CHILD IN THE ROOM. WATCH YOUR DAMN LANGUAGE!"

"LADIES FIRST!"

"FUCK OFF!"

Ike and Marth shared a tired glance. Without a word, Ike walked into the other room. 

"Okay, let's just..." Marth grabbed Robin's arm lightly and led him to the bedroom that Ike, Robin, and Marth shared. The bluenette closed the door behind them and sat down on his bed, which was closest to the door. Robin then sat down on his own bed, which was next to Marth's. "Alright. What do you need?"

"I, um." Robin bumped his feet together. "I need advice."

"What kind of advice?" Marth asked patiently. 

"Romantic advice." 

Marth regarded him casually over the rim of his mug of cAfFeiNatEd bEVerAGE. "Well. Can you tell me a bit about your predicament?"

"The guy I'm in love with loves someone else and I don't know what to do." Robin mumbled. 

"Oh." Marth set his mug down on his side table. 

"Yeah."

"Um. Well." Marth sighed. "What exactly do you need advice on?"

"I want to tell him how I feel but I don't know if that's actually a good idea because I really really don't want to ruin our friendship. And I know he's happy with his boyfriend right now and I just... don't know what to do." Robin sighed a tad dramatically and flopped back on his bed. 

"What's he like?" Marth asked after a short silence. 

Caught off guard by the question, Robin hesitated. "What do you mean?"

"If I have a basic sense of what he's like, I can give you better advice. Just trust me." Marth explained. 

"Okay. Well. Um. He's very nice. I hardly ever see him get genuinely mad at anybody. He's kind of an idiot, but it's cute. Also he's pretty shy." Robin was panicking a bit on the inside because he didn't want Marth to discover the identity of the guy he was in love with. That would be awkward as fuck. 

"Hmmm." Marth adopted a thinking face that was strikingly similar to the thinking emoji. "He sounds familiar. Have I met him before?"

It was at this moment Robin realized he fucked up. 

"Uhhh no?" Sadly, his voice squeaked. Marth arched an eyebrow suspiciously. 

"Riiiiight. So, your 'mystery man' is very forgiving, correct?" The air quotes Marth used around 'mystery man' scared Robin. 

"Yeah."

"He probably won't get mad at you if you tell him. I can tell that it's slowly eating you up inside- don't even try to deny it, you haven't been acting right for the past few weeks- so you need to just tell him soon." 

Robin smiled halfheartedly. "Thanks, Marth." 

"Of course." 

Both men stood up and started walking toward the door, Marth with his CAFFieNATEd BEVeRAge in hand once more.

He was so close to making it out without Marth asking him who it was, his hand was on the doorknob and turning it-

"One more thing." 

FUCK.

"The guy you're in love with."

"Um. What about him?"

"It's Sheik, isn't it?"

Robin flinched. His hand slid off the doorknob. "I.. yeah."

"He'll understand if you tell him. And it'll probably make you feel a lot better once you do." Marth was looking at him with a sympathetic expression written all over his face. For some reason, that just kinda... cracked something inside him, and he just kinda slumped against the door and tried not to cry. 

"I just. I hate seeing him with Corrin." Robin whispered. "And then I hate myself for hating them together because he makes Sheik happy and I like seeing him happy. I'm so confused, Marth. I hate this." 

Marth sat down next to him and put an arm around his shoulders. "It hurts, I know."

"He smiles the most when Corrin is around." Robin pulled his knees up to his chest and rested his forehead on them. "There's this stupid grin he gets on his face when he talks about him that I wish was for me because he looks so fucking pretty when he smiles like that. But I'm stupid for thinking he'd ever smile like that for me."

"Love is a beautiful thing, but Jesus fucking Christ it's painful." Marth said, his gaze fixed on the wall across from the two of them. 

"I want it to stop hurting."

"After you tell him, you can start moving on from him. Which sounds crazy, yeah. I know. But if you let yourself get stuck on someone who can't love you back the way you want, you'll end up terribly unhappy. You deserve someone who will love you the way you need. Sheik is a great guy, don't get me wrong, but he found that person already. Sadly, it wasn't you. But you'll find someone else, I'm sure of it." Marth rubbed the top of Robin's head with his other hand like he was a cat. 

"...Yeah." Robin sighed shakily. "You're right."

"It'll get better. But for now, just keep pushing through. I believe in you." 

"Thank you." Robin's voice was barely above a whisper by this point.

VIRAL COMPILATION OF THE DAY!

Roy being a little shit to the other members for 10 minutes

The thumbnail is one of Roy's trademark smirks. He's giving the camera a thumbs up. The observant viewer will notice that this is from the Vlive where Roy and Link pranked Marth and Ike with shaving cream, as evidenced by the suspicious white foam on Roy's face.
