A whole freaking sketch dump based on these "Moulin Rouge" (I'm calling it "Theatrics" because it has nothing to do with it aside from story) AU ideas I put out some time ago.

The candle was burning low by the time Robin looked at it, the dimming light pulling them from their work. They knew the candles had been new, Lissa had gifted it to them a few days ago. Now it was a stump, maybe only an inch tall now.

The world was slowly filled in around them. They could hear the ticking of a clock in the background, the only noise except for their breathing. A chill has settled into the air and their back ached from leaning over their desk. They’d lost track of time again, looking over their shoulder and squinting at the clock told them that. It was close to midnight, everyone but the night guard was asleep now.

They looked back down at their work, blinking slowly. They still had much work to do and not enough hours to get it all done. They rubbed a hand across their face, sighing befre grabbing their quill. One more hour and then they’ll go to bed and hopefully, neither Chrom or Sumia noticed the late arrival.

All hope of that was dashed away with the knock and a soft voice calling out for them.

“Robin? Are you still here?” Sumia peaked her head around the door, holding out a candlestick to see into the room. For a traitorous second, they thought of lying to Sumia just to get more work done. But then the thought of her searching the castle in a panic, waking everyone up to look for Robin when they were right here made them banish the thought. That and the thought of Sumia hurting herself with so few awake caused their stomach to flip.

“Over her love,” they sighed, setting their quill down as Sumia tiptoed over. She set her own candle down next to Robin’s, pulling them into a hug. Her nightgown was cool against Robin’s skin, a soft purple that barely reached her thighs. Robin hummed into the contact, blinking a bit before Sumia pulled away.

“You must be tired. Come to bed, Chrom is waiting.” Sumia’s voice was quiet, lulling theim as she grabbed their hands, pulling them up to their feet. She handed them her candlestick, taking a moment to clean Robin’s desk before linking their arms.

“Come one.”

Sumia led them down the halls of the castle, greeting any guards they saw. Robin just followed along, nodding a head at anyone they passed, but the motion was quickly draining. They didn’t realize how tired they were and they were grateful that Sumia was there for them to lean on. And that she didn’t complain about their weight.

Soon they were standing outside their bedroom, the door cracked open from when Sumia snuck out. Light flickered from the crack, alerting Robin that Chrom was awake. Sumia wasn’t bothered at all, pushing the door open and dragging Robin inside, almost throwing them into Chrom’s arm. He held them close as they collapsed, Chrom’s embrace was warm after how cold the castle had been. Sumia closed the door behind them, taking the candlestick from Robin and setting it on the nightstand. She quickly approached the two, hugging Robin from behind as the three of them navigated their way to the bed.

“Did you take the long way back?” Chrom asked with a chuckle. Robin didn’t know or care, but the giggle from Sumai answered for them.

“Maybe~ I had to make sure Robin was tired before we got here,” Sumia answered, giggling before letting out a yelp. Her grip tightened around Robin as she slipped, taking a moment to right herself before loosening said grip.

“Oops, sorry,” She mumbled, pressing a kiss to Robin’s cheek. They let out a hum, leaning more on Chrom before he collapsed on the bed, taking both of them down with him.

“Let's lay down before someone gets hurt.” Chrom chuckled, earning a lip smack from Robin as Sumia laughed.

“Mmmm, not funny,” they slurred out, rolling off Chrom as Sumia collapsed on his other side, still laughing. “I’m not the on;y one who’s tired.”

“Who knows, I might kick someone and cause a bruise during the night. Knowing my luck,” Sumia said after her laughter subsided.

“That’s why Robin’s in the middle,”

“Hey wait! I bruise easily!” Robin pushed themselves onto their hands, glaring down at Chrom as he chuckled.

“Well nothing else stops you from sneaking out, so you’re in the center until we find a different situation.

Robin pouted at the jab, hiding their face in Chrom’s chest as he stroked their hair. They could hear Sumia move around, the room growing dark with each candle that is snuffed out.

“I know you worry Robin and there is a lot of work that needs to be done,” Chrom started.

“But you still need to rest. You can’t work if you don’t get any sleep.” Sumia finished, the bed dipping slightly as she climbed back on and planted a kiss into Robin’s hair. “Let up help you rest at least.”

They hummed under the contact, already familiar with this song and dance. The two waited for their response, already knowing what it was going to be.

“I’ll try, no promise though.” Robin heard both of them let out a sigh, probably sharing a look before they spoke again. “This is nice and all, but I would like to be under the covers while I sleep.”

Chrom snorted underneath them, shifting around so they were resting on the pillows. He tugged the sheets back, Sumia climbing into the bed and plastering herself to Robin’s back, both humming at the contact as Chrom tucked them all in.

“Better?”

“Much.”
