ShimmeringJade: Yay! I finally started my own little drabble collection:3 I was actually looking forward to doing one of these, but I couldn't decide on what show/game to do it for. So, I finally decided with SSB. 3
Just a notice to all of you, you can submit suggestions on what pairings/characters you'd like in here. I'll give them a thought, and if I agree to them, I'll write 'em down. I just want to ask you not to ask me to write any 'revealing' yaoi/yuri. Don't get me wrong, I'll write you a drabble for it, but…nothing really deep, sorry. I don't quite support it enough to write something like that.
Anyway, on with the drabble!
Title: 'Emotionless'
Pairings: Samus x Marth
Summary: Samus is an emotionless bounty hunter, and she thinks she always will be. However, one certain blue-haired prince makes her think twice…
Bounty Hunter.
That's what she is. Samus Aran is an emotionless, ruthless bounty hunter.
She's cold, she's fierce, and she doesn't stand idly by to wait for anybody to plead for mercy. That's how she is, and that's how she always thinks she'll be—nothing would ever change her. Not if she can help it.
But she glances at the blue-haired prince sitting beside her, laughing at the sight of his red-haired friend arguing with a certain pink princess, and feels a certain burning inside her—a certain feeling that she doesn't quite understand, and it frustrates her.
Was it fear? No…she never got scared, and she certainly wasn't afraid of the banished prince, a mere boy.
Unless of course she wasn't scared of him physically.
She frowns as the thought dawns on her. It makes sense, but she would rather die than admit it. She was hoping it would never happen, and curses the helplessness she feels just by having him sit so near to her; her stomach twists as he leans a little closer to her, not knowing he does so, because the pink princess tries to strangle his red-haired friend, who sits on his other side. He's still laughing, and she finds herself thinking about how nice it sounds…
Then she slaps herself, trying to slap the nonsense from her head.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, she thinks, and looks down at her helmet, which lies on the table; she ignores the two Hyrulians' perplexed looks, and looks at her reflection shining off the visor. Get a hold of yourself. This isn't like you.
But she feels his back touch her shoulder, and goes stiff at the contact; the back of his head's near hers now, and she feels hermind reel as she begins to catch a small sniff of his shampoo.
He smells nice…she thinks, dazedly, but her common sense butts in and she makes herself become the same bounty hunter Samus that likes her personal space even though she wishes that he could really stay there.
"Hey!" she growls, and pushes him away, almost making him stumble onto the bickering couple. "I would appreciate it if you didn't squish me, blue-hair!"
He blinks, and turns around, staring at her for a brief moment, but that's all it takes for a small pink tint to appear in her cheeks. He notices it, and smiles innocently, moving over so she has her space back.
"Sorry Sam-chan," he says with a small grin. "I know you like your space."
Perplexed, she blinks at him, slightly surprised he knows. Then she huffs, and looks away, back at her helmet. "Whatever," she mutters. "Just don't do it again."
He chuckles, and nods, and turns back to watch his red-haired friend go tongue-tied as the pink princess caught him off guard with one of her smart comebacks. The bounty hunter glances at him to see that he began to laugh again, and shake his head at their immaturity.
She smiles, too, but not at the way her friends are acting. She's used to that stuff since she's known them ever since she's come to the Smashers Mansion, and she's usually the one to break the fight up when they get too annoying for even her to handle.
She smiles at the fact that he knows her too well; that he can make her usual hot-tempered self simmer down.
She sits back, and decides to watch the way the red-haired boy tried to splutter out an apology when the pink princess decides to bawl like a mad woman; she smiles a bit at the sight, but her eyes dart over to the blue-haired boy sitting just beside her, and her smile widens.
Maybe, just maybe, she wasn't the 'emotionless' bounty hunter after all...
