The thing Robin misses most about being able to see is the ability to read.  Reading was always an escape for him, a refuge, a way to occupy himself when he was bored or worried or sad…

…so Chrom helps out by reading to him.  Chrom’s never been much of a reader, himself, but it’s not so bad when it’s for Robin, because it makes Robin smile and laugh, gets him excited and engaged…and when it’s quiet, he nestles close, and Chrom sometimes forgets himself and pauses, listening to Robin breathe, feeling his warmth and the rise and fall of his chest (until Robin gently prompts him with the start of the line he trailed off on, happy to pretend that Chrom just lost his place)
