I have a thing for this couple, okay?

If You Would Let Me

Those dark blue eyes…

I get lost within them.

That unnerving smile…

It makes my knees weak.

That fallen angel…

I've fallen in-love with him.

Palutena would probably laugh at my foolishness. I wonder if she's watching me now…

I'm walking these hallways alone. I'm trying to find a way to tell him.

Tell my other self.

How much I've fallen for him. How much I wish I could be with him. How much I don't want him to ever leave my embrace.

I'm looking for him. Figures when I want that stupid angel I cant find him.

He always sneaks up on me at a bad time.

Is it wrong if I love him?

I've stayed up countless nights trying to find that answer. Is it a sin?

I let out a heavy sigh and stop walking.

My feet suddenly feel tried.

My head, my body, my heart all feel so dreadfully tired.

What if he rejects me?

My heart tightened at that thought. I ran a hand through my brown hair and tried to calm myself down.

I've only told one other person I loved them.

He was an angel too. Heh, I guess I have a thing for them.

"What do you mean you love me?" He pulled away from my grasp. "That's wrong! We're both male! We're best friends for Palutena's sake!"

"I-I'm sorry…" I looked at my feet, feeling my heart shatter. "Is this so wrong?"

"Yes!" He screamed. "Yes it is!"

I looked up and saw his short, green hair fall into his furious purple eyes.

He looked just like everyone else.

But I thought he was different.

"Just…" He fought with himself. "Just d-don't talk to me anymore, okay?"

My blue eyes widened.

"You're weird now." He turned his back on me and walked away.

I gave a soft smile as a tear fell down my cheek. "Weird, huh?"

"Pit?" I gave a startled jump and turned around to see my darker reflection staring back at me.

He looked so worried.

"Pit, what's wrong?" Dark Pit pressed his palm to my cheek and I almost sighed and leaned into it. "You're crying."

I am?

Dark Pit leaned in closer and studied me. "What happened?"

I almost smiled.

He sounded so protective. It was like, if I said a name, any name, he would run over to them and do whatever I wanted with them. He would kill them if I merely said so.

But does that equal love?

Probably not.

"Pit…" His voice was firm but his dark blue eyes were soft and comforting. "What happened?"

"What happened?" My voice spoke without my permission and I gave a heartless smile. "My love is unrequited… That's what happened." I shook my head, my eyes stung with tears. "It always is."

"Pit…" Dark Pit looked hurt. "What are you saying? Who do you love?"

I gave a loud sigh. "I love you." I closed my eyes against the surprised jolt the Angel of Darkness gave me. I could almost feel his surprise.

"I… Pit…" He hesitated.

I shut my eyes tighter as new tears came close to my lids. I pressed against Dark Pit in an attempt to get away. "I know, I know, okay?!" I screamed. Tears spilled freely down my hot cheeks, but I didn't open my eyes.

I couldn't.

"I know I shouldn't! I know it's not possible!" My voice cracked and was reduced to a pathetic rasp. I pressed harder against his warm chest.

How can someone with no heart be so warm?

"I know it's wrong, but… I-I just…" A sob broke through my words. "I can't help it when you're always around… You never let me down… You're always here… W-With me… E-Everyday I see your smiling face… I can't help it…" I felt his hand clamp over my wrist. I shook my head. "N-No, please… Just let me go. I don't want to be around you anymore. Please…"

"Pit," I felt his voice fall on my ear in soft whispers. It made my heart melt and my tears fall faster. "I can't let you go. I'll die. I need you."

"S-Stop…" I shoved my elbow in his chest, but he only tightened his grip on me. "P-Pit…" I cried harder when I felt him wrap his strong arms around my shoulders.

I could feel his chin rest on my shoulder.

My heartbeat quickened.

"S-Stop—"

"No." He whispered. I could smell strawberries around him. That jerk had been in my patch again. "I'll never stop and I'll never let you go."

"Why…?" I sobbed.

"Because I've fallen in-love with you."

My blue eyes widened and I felt Dark Pit sigh against my neck. "Wh—"

"I don't care if this is wrong. All I want, all I need, is you, Pit. You fill the emptiness inside me. You chase away the darkness and add light. You—"

I broke his embrace around me and gave him a hard kiss.

I ran my fingers through his soft, dark-brown hair and pulled him closer to me.

He cupped my face and wiped my tears away with his soft hands. I felt him press into the kiss and I could taste fresh strawberries on his lips.

I smiled.

I might be kissing him now, but he'll be in hell later for eating my precious strawberries.
