This is technically my first written and somewhat completed story! I hope you like it!

^_^ (NOT a One Shot)

"You have to come, Link. Please? It'll be really fun!" Marth is trying to persuade his boyfriend to go to Ike's birthday party but he just won't budge. Ike and Link don't exactly get along and that's because of one reason. Prince Marth, the youngest of the three being only 16 years old while Link is 17 and Ike is turning 18 in a few days. The both of them always seem to get in a fight over who deserves Marth and who he likes better, even though Link is already with him.

But Marth seems to be oblivious to this. He knows that they fight, but he was never exactly sure why. Still, he remains to be best friends with Ike even though he and his boyfriend practically hate each other, "No way, Marth. And now that I think about it, I don't want you going either. I trust you but I really don't trust Ike, and knowing him, things won't exactly go well." Marth does not like that answer, not at all. "Just because I'm the youngest doesn't mean you can always boss me around you know!" He is now screaming at Link with his eyes full of anger. "I can make my own decisions too!"

"Marth," Link starts as he stands up from his spot on the couch. Now they are standing face to face. Marth's arms are crossed over his chest. "Calm down, honey."

"No! Just go away!"

"Oh, Marth..." He always acts like this when he doesn't get his way. He becomes very difficult to communicate with since he won't agree with anything. Luckily, Link knows exactly what to do in these types of situations. He gently hugs the boy and sways back and forth. Marth starts to calm down and hugs him back. "My sweet, sweet prince," He says quietly in his ear, "I just want what's best for you, okay?" Marth let's go and looks up at Link. "But you don't always have to worry about me Link, it's alright."

Link sweeps Marth's bangs from his face and kisses his forehead. He then smiles and Marth gives a small smile back. "Will you come to Ike's party with me? I know you guys fight over -who knows what-, but will you? For me..." He looks down because of the growing blush on his face. Link sighs, "Alright I'll go with you." Marth jumps up and hugs him, "Yay! Come on; let's go tell him you're going." He pulls his hand and starts to drag him along. Link is a bit bigger than he is so he has to use two hands. "Why are you resisting? Let's go!"

He pulls his hand really hard and ends up getting him to the door. "Open it."

"Fine," He agrees and opens the door. When he does he walks outside to the hall and Marth starts to run. "Wait up!" Link tries to catch up with the boy but he's too slow. He ends up making it there about 10 seconds after Marth does. Marth knocks on the door and Ike answers it. "Hello?" He then notices who's standing at the door, "Oh, hey Marth! Come in." He opens the door a bit more then sees an un-wanted guest waiting for him. "What do you want?" He asks in an obviously rude tone pointed at Link.

Marth speaks up. "I wanted to bring him to your party and just wanted to let you know."

"Look Marth, I know I said you can bring a guest. But when I said that, I didn't mean him!" Marth places his hands on his hips and looks up at him very angrily, "You said I can bring ANYONE I wanted to and I choose Link. Now, I can just not go at all, how would-." Ike interrupts him very quickly. "Okay, okay, he can go. Just keep him away from me." "Good enough for me. Thanks Ike!" He gives him a tight squeeze.

You could see Link is getting annoyed and Ike just gives him a big, fat smile. "Alright Marth, let's go now." He pulls him off of Ike and holds his hand while walking down the hall. "Bye!" Marth shouts as he is halfway down the hall. "Bye!" He yells back. Ike walks back into his room and closes the door. He relaxes on his bed and begins to go into deep thought. I know Marth doesn't like me in the same way I like him but I just say that to get Link mad. What does Marth see in that jerk? Ugh, this is so hard. Why can't he just be with me? I love you Marth... Tears start to rapidly flow down his cheeks.

He lies there for about 10 minutes, crying over his true love. Suddenly the door opens and a familiar figure pops up, Marth. Ike quickly wipes his face of the wet tears it contained. But he did not finish fast enough because he seems to notice his face. "Ike? What's wrong?" He walks over to Ike, who is now sitting up on the bed covering his face. Marth sits down next to him and picks up his hands. "Don't cry... I'm sure things will get better... Why are you crying?" Ike looks up at him; face red and full of dry tears. "B-because..."

"Because what?" Marth is concerned of what because means.

Ike stands up and pulls Marth up with him. "Because of... you..." He looks down into his eyes, which seem to sparkle in the light. "Me?" Marth can not understand. Instead of answering, Ike plants his lips on the boy's. He then wraps his arms around his waist and Marth just stands there, motionless. He just can't seem to move his body. Ugh, he should be back now, Link thinks to himself, pacing around the room waiting for his boyfriend to arrive. I'm just going to go get him myself. He quickly walks over to the room of his worst enemy.

He bursts open the door and sees a sight so unbelievable, tears start to weld up in his eyes. "M-Marth..." They both let go and look up in complete shock. "Link... I- It's not-." Marth says but soon becomes interrupted by a sobbing Hylian. "I don't wanna hear your excuses!" He runs out the door, slamming it shut behind him. He goes outside to the flower garden and sits next to the roses. Why would he betray me like that?

"Umm... Ike... I uh... gotta go, see ya." He rushes out the door and searches for Link. He goes to his room and it's empty. He's gotta be here somewhere. He thinks to himself as he looks around the room. He looks outside the window out of curiosity, Oh there he is, in the flower garden. Marth makes it there within a matter of minutes. "Link! Link!" He shouts as he is running to the older. Link starts to walk away when Marth grabs his hand, preventing him from any further movement.

He flips him around and grabs both of his hands in his own. "Link..." He says again. "I have nothing to say to you." Link says, looking away. Marth grabs his jaw and turns it to face him once again. "Then listen to me... I didn't kiss him. He kissed me and I just- I just couldn't move. It was like my body was paralyzed. I'm so very sorry. Please forgive me."

"B- But you hurt me... so bad!" And the tears start up again as Link gets frantic. "Shh... I'm sorry, okay? I really am." He wipes Link's face and hugs him. "You know I love you, right?" Link can't help but smile at those words. "Yeah," He looks down at the ground, "I know, and... I love you too." He gives Marth a quick kiss on the cheek. "I forgive you." A few minutes later they walk back to their room and sit down on the couch.

Marth leans onto Link and snuggles into his chest. "You're so warm..." Marth whispers as he relaxes on Link. Link puts his arm around Marth and picks him up slightly so that now Marth is on his lap. "Will you promise to stay with me forever? No matter what?" Link quietly asks him. "Yes, I promise, as long as you promise too." Marth nods his head and starts to relax even more. All is quiet as they just relax, snuggling with each other. Within a few minutes, Marth falls asleep under Link's care. Link gently stands up with Marth in his arms and carries him over to his bed. He gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. Link then goes over to his own bed and lies down for a nap.
