The Mistletoe ball

A Chapter by SweetRainDrops

...read it... Not sure how to describe it...

Marth ^^^^^^ Marth lays on his blue bed. It's been a day and a half since he broke up with Link, and it's slowly killing him. At first he refused to drink. Then he realized he had to stay alive. So he decided against no water and maded it no food instead. He quit training, and the battles he had yesterday. He lost both of them. One of the matches was against Jigglypuff and the other was against Mr. Game&Watch. There's a knock on the prince's door. Marth doesn't answer. The door opens, and someone rushes in. Marth turns on the bed to face the door. Roy and Dr. Mario are there, watching me. 'Fine with me,' The exiled prince thought, 'I'm not getting up any time soon.' "Oh-a my-a! What-a happened here-a?!" Dr. Mario with his annoying Italian accent said. "I don't know! Your the doctor!" Roy says sarcastically. "Oh ya-ah. My mistake-a. Now, let us-a a-see." the doc said as he checked on Marth. The doctor checks his heart beat and his pulse. "He's-a fine. Just-a case of heart-a brokenness." he says as he puts his stuff away. Roy looks at his brother and sighs as Dr. Mario leaves. With a long sigh, Roy gives up. "You know you have to come out sooner or later. But I just want you to know that it IS you fault, you know. You did break up with him." Roy told his brother. Marth didn't answer. Roy took that as a hint to leave. So he did just that. He left Marth to his sorrow. 'He is right. I did break up with him. I wonder how he's doing right now. I wonder if he even cares...' •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Link ^^^^^ Poor Link hasn't left his room for anything since the break up. Link is laying in his bed, staring up at the strom-filled sky. Lightning cracks across the sky, making the dark room light up. Thunder snaps loudly. 'I wonder if he even misses me. I wonder if he even cares that he broke my heart bad. No more like SEVERLY. I wonder if he knows how much I love him.' Link thought as more lightning flashed. The rain hardened, and the room got colder. Link shivered as the wind in the room howled. 'The weather is just like one that day when I thought Midna was going to die.' Then the Midna's Lament starts to play. The hero sighs. Then, a twinkling sound played. Having just flown in through the widow, Navi flew over to Link. "LINK!!! Come on! You can't just throw away your live!" "Navi, you don't know what I am going through! I just need to be left alone." "No!" Navi says, and if she weren't flying she would have stamped her pretty little foot. "No?" Link says, surprised that she talked back to him. She never tells him no in this sense. Sure, if he's going the wrong way, but never when he's talking about his feelings or when he needs alone time. "Yeah, that's right. No. You don't deserve alone time. I was stuck in a empty jar of yours for a month!!" she screams at him, "Now, get you a*s out of bed!!" Link is too surprised to reply. So he gets out of the bed. He has never in all his life seen her so mad. "There. Now, go out, and enjoy the day. Go on, go. Go enjoy the festivities of Christmas." Navi commanded. The shocked hero followed her orders and left his gloomy room. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Pit ^^^^ It's been a day and a half since Pit saw that girl with fiery red hair and Ike. He's been avoiding Ike, even though they're suppose to train together. He always comes up with an excuse as of why he can't train with him. "Oh sorry! I promise Peach I would do something for her..." "I don't feel to good today. You go ahead without me." "I told Roy I would help him with his training today. Sorry..." Huh. The excuses go on and on, but of course he's an angel so he can't lie. So all of the excuses are true. He just happens to come across a new one whenever he needs it. Now, Pit is walking down the hallways after dinner, trying to get someone to give him an excuse to miss the training with Ike at 7pm. With no such luck, Pit finds himself at Ike's door. The angel sighs, then knocks on the door. "Be there in a second." a muffled voice said. Obviously it's Ike because Sheik would never say anything unless absolutely nessessary. The door opens, and Pit glues on a smile. Ike appears and smiles back. "Are you ready, Ike?" The angel asks, all his akward and uncomfort leaving him as he took in the mercenary's face. "Ya. Let's go." Ike says. So they both set out to the training field. {|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|}{|} Pit ^^^^ After an hour of training they decide to take a water break. Ike walks over to the metal bench and sits, taking a sip from his waterbottle. Pit sits next to him a few inches away on the bench to make sure they don't touch. He takes a long drink from his waterbottle. Of course being an angel he is quickly restored to full health in under five mintues, but for Ike it takes a little longer. So, they talk to past the time. "So, who was that girl with the angry red hair that came here to talk to Link about Zant?" Pit asks the Swordsmen. Ike turns to face the angel. "Her names Midna. She's the girl who broke Link's fragile heart." Ike replys. Pit nods his head and says "Oh. Okay." Then there's an akward silence that stretches between them. Finally, Ike had had enough of it. He asks "Why have you been avoiding me?" "Uh... What do you mean?" the angel asked, looking into Ike's brown eyes. "You know what I mean. Don't play dumb. Ever since that night in Link's room you have been avoiding me. You always have an excuse not to come train with me. You don't eat with me anymore. You don't speak to me anymore. Why?" Ike said, his voice sounding desperate to know and confused, "Did I say something or do something to make you avoid me so?" Pit can't look at Ike anymore. He stands up and fluffs his wings nervously. Twiddling his fingers and messing with his golden bands around his wrists, he sighs and turns around to face him. Now looking Ike in the eye, he says "Okay, Ike. Yes, I have been avoiding you, but please, I'm telling you one, do not ask me why because I'm an angel. I have to tell the truth. So, please please don't make me say why. I'm not ready to tell you. Please." As he said this his voice wavered like he was going to cry. His bottom lip wavers as he try's to keep from crying. The mercenary stands up with a look of concern on his face. He closes the space between them with a few steps. Now, standing right in front of the angel, Ike can smell him. He smells of sweat and vanilla. Ike had once asked Pit why he reakef of vanilla, and Pit had said because he's an angel and vanilla is a pure and holy scent. "Pit," was all Ike to say when Peach, Samus, Zelda, and Midna walk in. Pit sees them and slowly backs away. Then he turns, runs then shoots into the sky, and flys out of the stadium. "Pit, wait!" Ike called after him, but it was no use. Pit wasn't gonna come back. Ike glanced at the girls who were watching all of this. He sighs, his face covered in a mask of concern, desperation, and worry. Ike leaves the stadium and heads back to his room. **************************************************************************************************************** Link ^^^^^ That night at nine forty-five, when Link reenters his dormroom, he finds Pit silently crying on his bed. The silent hero rushes over to his roommate and says "Pit! What's wrong?" Pit sits up, wiping his eyes, even though they just keep filling up with holy tears (a tear from an angel can't heal you fully and a hold jar of angel tears if you drink it could give you more years to your life and they can bring a person back to life). "Why do you care?!" the sorrow-filled angel snapped at him. Ataken back, Link doesn't know how to respond at first. When he does respond, he says "Because your my roommate, friend, and buddy. I care about you. So tell me what happened?" (Ps: Link is the only one who officially knows that Pit is indeed gay. Like Snake has a hunch he is... So anyway back to the story!) "Fine. You want to know what happened? I'll tell you what happened!" Pit snarls at the hero. Then suddenly it's like everything, every piece if energy, just left the boy. Pit suddenly looked ehsausted, worn out, and broken. "I went to training with Ike. He asked me why I was avoiding him. I told him yes i was avoiding him and to not ask why because I would have to answer truthfully. The Midna, Samus, Zelda, and Peach walked in. And I ran slash flew out of there as fast as I could." Pit states, boeing his head, his arms crossed over his half covered chest (his toga doesn't cover much of his chest. Now does it?). "Oh, It's okay, Pit. I kind of know what your going through. Marth dumped me after you guys left." Link says, trying to comfort Pit by telling him this but only succeeding in making himself start to cry silently. "Oh, Link! I am so sorry! Why? Why would he do such a thing!" Pit said, confused. "He thinks I'm in love with Midna, but I'm not. He told me that he could tell by the way I look at her that I still love her. He said that I didn't love him. But I do. I do love him!" Link says, and with that he broke down crying at last. Pit wrapped his arms around the broken fragile hero who is now sitting next to him. "Don't cry. Please, please, don't cry, Link." <-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><-><><-><-><-><-><-><-> Pit ^^^ Finally, the week is over and that night has arrived. It's Christmas eve, and the Mistletoe Ball starts at eight. The decorations are all set in the grand hall, and the sun has set. It's seven thirty, and everyone has a date for the ball. Well... Almost everyone. Pit paces back and forth as he hears the alarm clock go off, telling him fifteen till eight. "I'm not going." the angel says as he stops pacing. Link sits up from where he was laying on his bed and says "Oh yes you are. You are NOT, I repeat NOT, going to miss this. It will be your first Mistletoe ball. You have to go." "No. I'm not going. I can't. I'm dateless, and I heard that Ike has a fabulous hot girl he's taking." Pit replys, being stubborn. "I will force you to go. And I could easily set up a date for you." the hero replied. "Uh no! I don't want some stupid date you set me up on. I wanted Ike to ask me..." Pit sighs. "Go alone. Show him your better than that. Show him you independent, and you don't need a date to be happy. Show him what he's missing." "Uh...okay." Pit said, his voice shaking with nervousness. "But will you go with me? Not with me with me, but will you be there?" "Uh... No. I don't want to see Marth, especially to night of all nights. I don't want to see what date he found to use to make me jealous." the Hero of Time says. "Oh. Okay. That makes total sense." Pit said disappointed. "I guess I'll go then." "Wait. I got you this to wear. It's festive." Link says, standing and getting something out of his tree-dresser. He hands whatever it is to Pit. It's a Santa Claus hat. Confused, Pit looks up into Link's face. The hero takes the wreath off of Pit's head and sets it aside. Then he puts the hat on the angel. Then hands him elf shoes. Pit puts on the elf shoes with excitement. Then with the hat and shoes, the excited yet nervous angel left his dorm and made his way to the grandhall. {]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{]{] Ike ^^^^ Ike comes out of his bathroom which he shares with Sheik and looks at himself in the mirror. Ike is wearing his regular get-up just hes wearing the one that isnt damaged or torn or ripped or blood-stained. Ike turns around and sees Snake is sitting on his bed. "How do I look?" Ike asks his straight friend. "Fine. Now can we go? I'm suppose to meet Samus there at 8:30, and it's 8:23." Snake said impatiently. "Okay. Okay. Calm down. Let's go." Ike says. So the two of them leave Ike's dorm and make there way to the grandhall. Once there they go their seprate ways. Snake going to find Samus, and Ike going to find Pit. ٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪٪ Snake ^^^^^^ Snake finds Samus talking with Peach by the snack table. He strides over there, and Samus sees him coming. A smile slowly forms on her lips, and when he's close enough she kisses him real passionately. "Merry Christmas!" Samus said when the broke apart to gain some air in their empty lungs. "Merry Christmas, my mistletoe." Snake says, and he touches the small of her back under her skin-tight shirt which causes her to giggle. He plants another lingering kiss before sweeping her off to the dancefloir. After a few songs of dancing, Snake pulls Samus off to a table. He gets them both a little bit of everything from the snack table. Then he sits back down. As they eat he asks "Do you ever wonder what would happen if the world end tomorrow?" "Yeah, sometimes. Why?" Samus replys. "Well, I got to thinking about it, and I was thinking that if the world DID end tomorrow then I would want to spend my last day with you." Snake then stood up and got down one one knee in front of Samus as the song he requested played. It's the song that played when they first met, I won't go home without you by Maroon 5. Samus' hand goes to her open mouth as Snake pulls out a small velet box. He opens it up, and inside lays a ring made of silver with a turquoise gem shaped as a rose on it that's surrounded by tiny diamonds. "Samus, I don't know if there's going to be a tomorrow. I don't know if I'll die young, but I do know I want to spend the rest of my life with you no matter how short or long. Samus, will you make me the most joyful man in the world and marry me?" Snake asked, looking up into her blue eyes. "Yes! Yes! Of course! Of course I will!" Samus says as he stands up. She gets up and throws her arms around his neck. Then she kisses him long and hard. People clap and cheer in the background. When they break apart, Snake asks "Can I have this dance, my bride-to-be?" Taking his offered hand, she says "Of course you may, my forever love." ؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟Pit ^^^^ Pit wonders around the ball, thinking. 'I wonder where Ike is. Oh! I can't believe it! Snake finally proposed! Awww! How sweet!' The angel reached the snack table and started to snack. He tried a cookie with a red-nosed reigndeer on it. Then he tried some chocolate chocolate cake. After he ate he went and got a drink of red punch. 'I went to the Mistletoe ball, Link.' Pit tells Link in his mind (he's only pretending to talk to Link through his mind even though he can do that), 'This is boring. I'm going to go.' thought Pit, but as he turned to leave someone called his name. "Pit!" 'Is that... Ike?' Pit thought as he turned around. He comes face-to-face with Ike. Ike is so close that their breaths are mingling. Ike smells like mint, peppermint to be exact. The smell is intoxicating. It's driving Pit wild. 'Only Ike...' Pit thought as he realized it was turning him on. "Pit, would you like to dance?" Ike asks. 'Did I just hear him right?' The angel thought, 'Did Ike just ask ME to DANCE with HIM?' "Dont you have a date?" Pit asks the mercenary. "Yes. I do." he said as he took hold of both of the angel's sift hands, "I have a date with destiny. And tonight, my destiny is to dance with you." Ike says. Pit's mouth opens to speak, then closes, then opens, then closes. He's so stunned that he can't speak. Ike pulls him out to the dancefloor as a slow song starts. "Its a slow song." Pit stated. "Exactly." Ike said, which caused the angel to blush, but under the red and green lighting no one could tell. Ike placed Pit's hands where the girls' hands usually would go. Then he placed his right hand on the angel's hip. A gasp exscaped the angel, which caused Ike to smile, and Pit blushed furiously. As the song played, Ike pulled the angel to him till their bodies were pressed against each other. Pit relaxed into Ike, wrapping hus arms around the mercenary's neck and resting his head in the soft crook of Ike's neck as Ike's arms snaked their way around his waist. وووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووووو Link ^^^^^ Pit won't be back any time soon since the Mistletoe ball ends at two or three in the morning. Link decides to look at the stars, it helps clear his head, but the it's cloudy tonight in Hyrule. So he'll have to go outside to see the stars. So, Link, in his pajamas, pulls on a green wool sweater and his warm leather boots. Then he grabs his clawshot (to get on the roof) and his sword (just in case) and heads outside. The hero climbs up onto the roof of the tall mansion with his clawshot. Once up there he gets in a comfortable position and relaxes, lays back against the roof. He sets his sword next to him and closes his eyes. Then Link hears something, and his whole body tenses. It sounds like footsteps. he opens his eyes, and silently he sits up and grabs his sword. He stands up slowly so he's quiet. He rounds the corner off the building he was hiding behind, his sword at the ready. What he sees shocks him. He drops his sword as his blue tear-filled eyes meet the blue eyes of Marth, Link's ex-boyfriend. ᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜᏜ Marth ^^^^^^ The clank of the sword hitting the metal roof echos loudly. Marth and Link stare at each other. Both of them with tear-filled eyes, both of them full of a deep depressing sorrow. For what seemed like centuries, the two just stood there, staring at each other. Marth opened his mouth to speak, then closed it. Link took that as an opportunity. "Marth..." He only said one word and that sent Marth into despair. He fell to his knees. The prince started to cry at all the emotion in that one word. The sorrow, the desperation, the pain, the love... Link was surprised that Marth stared to cry, but he quickly recovered. "Don't cry, Marth. Please, please don't cry! Don't cry. Marth..." Link said as he silently cried. Tears rolled down the hero's cheeks. Link kneeled by the exiled prince. He wrapped his lanky arms around Marth's back, pulling him into his lap. Marth buried his head in Link's chest. Link and Marth cried till there were no more tears to cry left in them. Now, Marth is just sitting in Link's lap, his head leaning against the hero's chest, his eyes closed, just enjoying his comforting warmth. "Link, I-" Marth started, but couldn't control his voice. It was shaky, and it wavered some. The prince took a deep breath and tried again, "Link, I'm sorry." "Why are you sorry?" the hero asked confused. "Because this is all my fault. I was jealous and thought you still were in love with Midna which shattered my heart. So I broke up with you because I wanted to date someone who would treat me right and love me back." Marth said, his voice wavering some. "It's not you fault. I shouldn't have been looking at Midna the way I was. I shouldn't have been hoping she would love me when I have my true love right her in my lap." Link said, truthfully. Marth smiled and relaxed even more into his true love. "So are we together again?" Link asked. Marth tuned his head and said "Yes, yes we are." Marth then turned in Link's lap and kissed his true love hard and passionately. The hero fell back against the metal roof, Marth now on top of him. The kiss lingered till the would literally die from lack of air. When the broke apart. Marth stayed on top of him and slipped a gentle kiss on his hero's precious lips. Link enjoyed the sweet kiss and held him as close and tight as possible without killing him (from the tightness not the closeness, hehe). They clung to each other till the bells chimed two in the morning. "Merry Christmas, Link." Marth said softly, his voice just above a whisper. "Merry Christmas, Marth."
