The Doomed Dorm
Ch. 1
Marth sighed, entrance exams were a bitch. He was normally the smart one, but somehow Roy had already aced his college entrance exams as where Marth was struggling. After a grueling four hours of staring at words and circles to fill in the answers, he completed the test and turned it in. As he stood up and grabbed his bags he could feel what sitting in that chair for hours did to his ass. He hissed in pain as he stretched his back and made his way out of the stuffy room.
'Never ever again will I ever take a test that bloody long!' was his only thought as he walked off campus and to his car. As soon as he sat in the car his phone began to ring madly from his hand bag.
"Hello?" he said in a fake polite voice as he answered the phone.
"Marth babe! Are you done with the test yet?" came the notorious voice of Roy. Roy had already been accepted into the college and did not need to take this test again.
"Yeah I just finished, I think I did pretty good. I'm sure I passed at least."
"That's good. Hey, I just applies for our dorm room together, they still had an opening!" the redhead chirped over the static phone.
"Yes!" Marth pumped his fist up and down even though Roy couldn't' see it. "How much was the down payment?"
"Not bad, only half my paycheck. The only bad news is….we didn't get one where it's two beds in one room and that's it. Their only opening was an apartment with five bedrooms, with two people in each room. The better news is that we have a full sized kitchen, living room and bathroom. We won't need to leave the apartment to take a shower or cook!" Roy explained as Marth began to drive off the campus parking lot.
Marth remained silent.
"I'm sorry hun, I know how you don't like being close to other people but please put up with it. This is the best I can do!" Roy pleaded his lover to accept. "Plus I've already paid the first month's rent with the down payment!" he added to make his plea more sincere.
"It's fine, I'm sure it'll be okay. I mean if I get mad at someone I'll just stay in our room." Marth smiled, his lover was good to him, but he was still uneasy about living with eight other strangers.
"I promise I'll make this work! Now come pick me up, I'm ready to go." Was the last thing Roy said before they exchanged goodbyes.
After Marth picked Roy up they went home and had dinner. They waiting patiently for the phone to ring and get the news if they were accepted into the college or not. They waited several hours, but the phone didn't ring. Since it was late they decided to go to bed and that the college would call tomorrow.
"I'm going to take a shower and go to bed now, I'm so tired. That test gave me a head ache and my eyes hurt." Marth said as he leaned down and kissed Roy on the lips and walked into the bathroom.
Roy's lips curved into a sinister grin as he heard the shower water running. If looks could kill the bathroom door would've exploded and revealed Marth nudity to Roy. He stood up and quietly slinked over to the door with his hand resting on the knob. With a sudden burst of force Roy pushed the door open and ran in.
"Oh miss damsel in distress! Never fear, Roy is here! I shall save you from the evil soap monster!!" He proclaimed in a deep, manly voice.
Marth's eyes nearly popped out of his head, he certainly wasn't expecting his knight in shining armor to come to his 'rescue'. Roy stripped himself of his own clothes and jumped into the bathtub with Marth. Some of the bubbly water sloshed out of the side of the tub with Roy's fast and swift movements. Marth was about to protest that the bathtub wasn't a love-tub, but it was too late; Roy already had his lips clasped over his.
Marth wasn't sure if the temperature was rising because of Roy or because of the hot bath water, but either way…tonight was going to be a very steamy night.
Roy took a bottle of shampoo and unpropotionatly squirted a large amount of the foamy liquid into Marth's hair. He mussed it around until Marth's hair was a block of blue gel. He made horns, spikes and swirly peaks with his boyfriend's hair.
"Having fun are we?" Marth smiled with a soft giggle.
"I love your hair. It's FAAAAABULOOUUUS!!!!" Roy sang loudly as he savagely ran his hands through it more and more. He detached the shower head from the wall and sprayed Marth's overly clean head with it until all of the soap was out.
"My turn!" Marth said seductively as he snatched the open bottle off the edge of the tub. Returning the favor, Marth washed Roy's hair, but with less…vigor and enthusiasm. He massaged the soap into his scalp softly and slowly. Roy relaxed and leaned back into his lover's touch moaning slightly.
After the bath was over, they dried off and sat on the bed in just their towels together.
"Baths in America are soooo much different than in Japan." Marth commented, reffering to Japan's traditional just soak in hot water bathing.
"Hmph. They're more fun here." Roy stated as he pulled his towel off and scooted closer to the bluenette.
"It's been a year now hasn't it?" Roy asked casually.
"Mhm." Marth mumbled from face down in his pillow.
It had been a full year since Marth and Roy left Japan to go to college in America together. Marth's family, mainly his brother Ike, disapproved of his sexuality preference. Roy's family disliked him all together so the two of them ran away to the US to have a free life together.
When Marth was sixteen his neighbor next door, Xellos, confessed to him. Marth rejected him because he didn't realize that he was gay yet. After many rejections to him, Xellos moved away and Marth felt guilty and that maybe he'd chased him away. By the time Marth entered high school there were tons of gays already out of the closet, Roy being one of them. Roy and Marth met and Roy showed him that being gay wasn't evil or disgusting, it was a form of love. Marth fell for Roy and became outspokenly gay. Marth now holds lingering feelings of guilt for Xellos whom he rejected the year before.
Once Ike, Marth's brother, found out that he was gay he told their parents who in turn tried to force Marth to marry a family friend, Zelda. When Marth refused they beat him harshly. Roy barged in and swept Marth away to the US where they could live happily.
Now sitting on their crappy apartment bed in their crappy apartment room, they shared a crappy, but happy, apartment life together. Feeling tired and worn out, Marth changed into his pajamas and snuggled under the blankets. Roy frowned
"No love tonight Mar-Mar?" Roy sniffled with puppy eyes. Marth giggled at the new nickname.
"Please, not tonight. I'm exhausted." Marth pleaded with a yawn. Roy sighed and agreed as he snuggled up to Marth and they kissed goodnight.
They awoke to the loud ringing of the telephone the next morning. Normally they would ignore the call and continue sleeping, but Marth's eyes opened wide with realization. Maybe it was the college! He crawled over Roy as not to wake him up so he could have some quietness over the phone.
"Hello?" he answered in his usually phony polite voice.
"Yes this is Master Hand from Smash University, is a Marth Lowell around?" the eerie voice spoke.
"Yes! I'm Marth!" he stammered nervously.
"Congratulations, welcome to Smash U! You may pick up your student ID at the front desk today! Have a nice day!" the phone went dead silent.
"FUCK YES!!!" Marth exclaimed loudly, waking Roy out of a dead sleep.
"What!? Oh my god what!?" Roy panicked thinking that something was wrong.
"I was accepted!" Marth sighed dreamily with stars in his eyes.
Roy and Marth both leapt out of bed and began jumping around together, today was going to be one of the best days ever for them.
Being accepted into Smash U meant you could officially move into their dorms, so Marth and Roy packed everything up and threw it in the car. Unfortunately only about half of their stuff fit inside the tiny vehicle and thus they had to leave some behind for the time being.
They pulled into the dorm parking and practically flew into the main building. After receiving their keys to the dorm room they grabbed their boxes and bags and hauled them up to the room. The apartment that they'd be sharing with eight other people was located on the third floor of the apartment complex.
"Apartment #1146, right…..here." Roy said as he put the key in the door slot and turned it.
The door popped open and they walked inside cautiously, like zombies were waiting inside to eat them. The first thing that met Marth's eyes was the lovely blue couch and mocha colored coffee table in the living room.
The living room was massive to say the least, as was the kitchen. Everything was already fully, and beautifully, furnished. This gave them high hopes for their bedroom. They set their stuff down next to the door as they realized that they didn't know which room was to be theirs.
As if on cue a girl with long blonde hair and long elven ears walked out of the hallway and stopped in the living room.
"No way…Marth!?" Zelda exclaimed with her mouth agape. Marth blinked in confusion, serious confusion. The girl from back in Japan that his parents tried to make him marry was here in the US, at his college, in his dorm room??????????????????????????????
"Z-zelda! Holy crap! It's been forever! Why're you here?" Marth stammered as she pulled him into a hug.
"Well, after you left no one heard hide nor hair of you. Since my parents were trying to marry me off I decided it was time to get out while I could. On my way here guess who on God's green Earth I ran into!" she said as she bit her lower lip to add to the suspension.
"Who?" Marth tilted his head.
"Link!" she said with great volume in her voice.
"Wait….Link from high school Link?" Marth questioned with eyebrows perked.
"No Link the prostitute living in my basement..YES Link from high school! What other Link is there?" she exclaimed while laughing. Marth joined her laughter, how odd that they'd all meet up like this.
"I met him at the airport in Japan, he was kicked out of his grandma's house and didn't know where to go so he was just going to hop on the next flight and go anywhere to see where the 'wind' would take him. Luckily I ran into him and he decided to go to America with me. Next thing you know we're hitting it off in a coffee shop then we're living together and then…." She paused and showed Marth her hand.
"Oh my god, no freakin' way!" Marth ogled the diamond ring resting upon her ring finger.
"I know right! I was surprised too, but we fit right together don't' we?" she said as she began 'fangirling' over her ring. Marth coughed nervously.
"So uh…Do you go to school here? Is this your dorm room too?" he asked, unsure of why it made him uneasy.
"Yup and Link is my roommate. So who's the redhead? I he your….boy toy?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows in a provocative manner.
"Yes!" Roy chirped in as he flung his arms around Marth's shoulders form behind. Zelda giggled girlishly at the sight.
"Do you know which room is ours? We just got here." Marth asked trying to get back on track.
"Well I'd imagine ti could only be the only room left open, the one inbetween mine and- " she paused mid sentence and Marth gave her a quizzical look.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"You see, there's something you need to know. After you abandoned your life in Japan, Ike felt horridly guilty and came to America to find you. He ran into me and Link and we've been in contact for some time now. He wants to apologize to you, Marth. He needed to go to college just like everyone else and since I was going to go to Smash U…he came with me and Link. Since we applied for a dorm room at the same time we got…lunched into the same apartment. " she explained with an uneasy expression, she wasn't sure if Marth would hate it or love it.
Marth's expression went from grim horror to a soft smile.
"So he's here? Now? In the room next door?" he asked wishfully.
"No, he's in the room, next to you." She smiled now that she could read his relaxed expression.
Marth untangled himself from Roy's arms with a quite pardon and walked down the hall.
"Which room is Ike's?" he asked from the hallway.
"The one straight ahead is Ike's. There are five room, 2 on each side and one in the middle. The one in the middle, or straight ahead, is Ike's and his roommate's." she explained.
Marth walked down the hallways passing four doors on either side until he faced a door that faced directly down the hallway. Timidly he knocked on the door and got a response almost immediately.
(Sorry if I'm confusing you, this is the only way I know how to describe this. If FF would allow us to put links in our stories I'd link you a drawing of what I'm talking about. So if you really want to see it go to my profile and one of the first things you should see is SSBB – The Doomed Dorm Room Layout with a link to the picture.)
"Come in!" the all too familiar voice said from beyond the wooden door.
Marth opened the door ajar and peeked inside. There was obviously two people living in the room for there were two sides equally furnished. The one on the left was clearly Ike's because he was laying on his bed with his legs crossed and reading a magazine. From this position Ike could not see his guest and wasn't paying attention enough to look up. Marth walked inside the room and closed the door behind him.
"Ike…." Marth whispered softly as he shifted position so that his arms were behind himself clasped together and his weight was on one leg.
Ike froze up. 'That voice…'
Ike dropped the magazine off to his side and say up. Gazing up anxiously his eyes landed upon the sight of his younger brother with a timid and shy smile on his lips.
"Marth!" he cried as he jumped up and pulled him into a very harsh hug. Marth returned the hug but with less fervor.
"Where have you been?" Ike started to sob into Marth's shoulder. Nervously Marth pulled away from him and cleared his throat.
"Living in an apartment down town with Roy." He said simply, unsure of what he was supposed to be feeling at the moment.
"I'm so sorry, I was such a fool. Please forg-" Marth cut Ike off before he could go on a rampage.
"It's ok. To be honest, it was all for the better. I'm happy now and I'm not mad. If I was still angry I'd of just left campus, I wouldn't have bothered to come see you." Marth spoke calmly and quietly, as if quelling Ike of his emotional outburst.
"Wait, you said you "would've just left campus" when you found out I was here. Did you not come to the campus to meet me in the first place?" Ike asked, why else would Marth be here?
"Nope, I actually didn't know you were here until about fifteen seconds before I walked in the door. I'm your new neighbor." He explained with a bright smile.
"Fuckin' seriously?" Ike gawked.
"Yup. Best part is my room is right next to yours." Marth chirped as he pointed towards the door.
"Holy crap dude…." Ike's jaw dropped.
"I wonder how many more people I know I'll meet here." Just as Marth said that a small noise came from across the room.
"I don't know what's going on between you two but…Hi Marth!!" the guy from across the room said with an all too gleeful wave of his gloved hand.
Marth's heart nearly stopped beating. He was here too?
"You gotta be shitting me….Xellos!?" Marth's mind reeled. The gay guy he rejected so many times back in Japan was here too?
"Hi!" Xellos repeated with the same unusual high level of cheer.
"Xellos!?" Marth repeated in shock.
"Hi!!" Xellos got even cheerier by the second.
"XELLOS!!??!?" Marth yelled so loud Roy came flying into the room with Zelda right behind him.
"Hihi!!" Xellos smiled innocently as if nothing in the world was wrong at all.
Marth was froze in position in a state of total what the fuckness. First Zelda and Link, then Ike and now Xellos? Maybe if he asked where his lost iPhone was it'd magically appear too.
"Did you say Xellos? As in that guy that used to stalk you and ask you out like every day?" Roy asked with a cocked eyebrow. Marth could only nod his head.
Roy cautiously approached Xellos where he sat on his bed with his legs crossed over the edge of the mattress. Roy began to inspect this new character from Marth's past that he'd yet to meet. He had medium length black hair a tad messy, but maybe that's how it was supposed to look. His eyes were a beautiful, but oddly dangerous, shade of violet and he was wearing mostly women's lingerie. He had on a normal white dress shirt with a black vest thing over it with black shorts and women's thigh high tights with garters on. All in all is was obvious that the man was gay off his rocker and slightly tipsy if not drunk.
Roy wasn't sure if the huge grin plastered on Xellos' face was creepy, evil, perverted or some strange combination of the three. Either way he got a very sinister vibe from the guy and wasn't sure if he should trust him. Roy slinkered back to Marth's side and whispered in his ear.
"Is he evil?" he asked with all seriousness.
"I'm not sure, but he's nicer than he looks. He may have of stalked me and hit on me but he was never mean or evil-like." Marth answered truthfully.
"Fancy meeting you here, Marth!" Xellos said with an old English accent.
"Yeah hi, please tell me you're just visiting." Marth inwardly pleaded.
"No no, I'm here because back when I was in Japan they said the US was short on teaching assistants who knew Japanese. So I volunteered and moved here. I'm a TA you know." He said with his silly half drunken accent, the smile of doom never leaving his face.
(TA = Teacher's Assistant – An undergraduate student who is exceptionally smart that helps teachers teach classes.)
"Are you really smart enough for that?" Roy asked, not intending to be mean but he didn't really care.
For the first time Xellos frowned. "Was that an insult?"
"Kinda." Roy admitted.
"Wow Marth, you picked a dumb little fucker to date didn't you?" Xellos resumed his evil smiling as he spoke.
"How'd you know we were dating!? Last time we met I wasn't even gay!" Marth hissed.
"I didn't know, but thanks for confirming that for me." Xellos snickered sinisterly.
'SHIT FUCK DAMN!' Marth cursed in his head.
"Okay I need to finish unpacking…..goodbye!" Marth said snottily as he turned on his heel and walked out of the room.
"M-marth…?" Ike whimpered as he saw his brother retreat from the room.
"So much for you saying he wasn't evil. That guy reeks of rape and murder." Roy said as chills ran down his spine. Marth stopped walking and Roy gave him a confused look. "What?"
Marth began to laugh quietly. "You know, now that I look back on it. I think I didn't come out of the closet sooner because I was afraid of him and what he'd do to me once he found out I was gay too." He said solemnly but then discarded the thought and began to pick up some of his belongings from the living room.
After a couple hours they had everything in their room set up and everything from the old apartment moved in, with much help from Ike. They were finally settled down and they both laid down on the bed and sighed in relief.
"Do you think that Xellos guy is still interested in you?" Roy asked non-chalantly .
"I don't know to be honest, but he doesn't act the same way he used to around me. Before he'd glomp me and hit on me every chance he got. Now it just seems like I'm a pleasant memory." Marth shrugged.
"Did you notice he has fangs?" Marth added.
"He has fangs!? What the fuck? Is he a monster or something?" Roy sat up and gave Marth a scared look.
"Haha yeah kinda. He's a vampire, but hey Professor Mewtwo is a Pokémon, or pocket monster. I don't see how vampire is a whole lot more crazy." Marth spoke without a fear in the word as where Roy was shaking.
"Does he sparkle?" Roy asked with instant curiosity. Marth couldn't hold back his laughter, honestly he didn't know. But if Xellos did in fact sparkle, he'd make sure to make a few jokes about him.
---Later that day---
Marth and Roy went to the campus main office where they picked up their student IDs and selected their classes. They made sure to have at least a couple of the same classes with each other. After they got their student loan money they bought their books and brought them all back to their dorm room and set them up neatly on their new bookshelf.
They began to hear new voices from beyond the walls of their room and figured that the others who lived here too must be in. Deciding that they wanted to go meet everyone they made their way to the living room.
"Hey Marth! It's Link, look!" Zelda began pointing with both index fingers at her fiancé who casually glanced at them,
"Oh hey Marth! It's been ages!" Link greeted him and Roy with a warm smile. After exchanged hellos with the people he already knew he went on to meet the other four residents he did not know.
"I'm Peach, me and Zelda go waaay back!" the blonde wearing all pink said happily.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Pit! Me and Peach are together so we're sharing a room!" the brown haired boy with wings added.
"You've got wings, did you drink some redbull?" Roy teased.
"No! I'm an angel!! I swear I don't have a redbull obsession!" Pit exclaimed. Peach rolled her eyes.
"I didn't accuse you of an addiction!" Roy half yelled. Marth calmed him so that the other two could be introduced.
"I'm Samus and this is my boyfriend Snake, all you need to know." Said the other woman sitting on the love seat next to a rugged man.
"Hello, I'm Marth and this is my…boyfriend Roy. Yes we're gay but we won't rape you I promise." Marth teased. Marth instantly cringed when he remembered that Xellos is here too and began to frantically look around to make sure the creep wasn't ogling him from some corner. Much to his relief Xellos was nowhere to be seen and the others all engaged in conversation.
"So Marth, Zelda and Ike told me that you know Xellos. Is this true?" Peach asked.
"Erm, yes I used to know him, but that was a few years ago. I really don't wanna talk about it." He sighed.
"Oh dear, did something bad happen?" Peach asked with concern.
"No, I just don't want anything to do with him. He's a creeper." Marth added the last bit with a hint of disgust. "Why? Does he have some sort of heinous record around here or something?" Marth asked curiously.
"Not really. Nothing besides he's been here for three years and no one on campus knows anything about him. Even Ike who has been his roommate for a year knows so little about him. We're all just kind of curious I guess." Peach said as she reached for her glass of soda.
"He's looney.." Snake said form across the room. "The guy gives me the creeps, especially since I've never seen him eat, sleep or do anything human-like for that matter. I think he's an alien." Samus added.
"He's a vampire." Marth stated flatly. Everyone gasped, including Xellos himself who just walked in the room. "Xellos is a vampire!?" Xellos exclaimed with obviously fake gasping sounds. When his mouth opened to gasp Roy got a clear shot of the fangs Marth spoke of, they were pretty scary in his opinion.
Xellos grabbed a black and red wine bottle out of the fridge and said "I hope he doesn't bite me!" sarcastically as he walked back to his room with his beloved bottle.
Everyone in the room stayed silent for a couple seconds before Ike broke it.
"And I've been sharing a room with him for a year now?" Ike asked in shock as he began checking his neck for signs of puncture wounds.
"Do you think he sparkles?" Zelda asked in half amusement.
"You know I asked that same thing." Roy responded.
Everyone stifled a giggle and agreed that he in fact did, and that's just how gay he was.
"He's so gay he sparkles?" Snake asked with pure confusion written across his face, clearly not getting the joke.
Suddenly the oven dinged and Peach jumped up. "Dinner time everyone!"
The only conversation that sparked over dinner was about how long people had lived in the dorm and what classes they were all taking.
"I've been here a year now." Ike shuddered, but somehow Marth wasn't convinced that it was out of disgust for his roommate.
"Me and Sammy have been here for two years." Snake said through a mouthful of noodles.
"I told you not to call me that in front of other people." Samus snipped at him with her fork.
"So he can call you that in bed?" Roy teased and earned himself a Samus Death Glare from hell.
"Me and Link moved in last year with Ike. It was fun trying to figure out which college to pick and how we chanced upon this one was sheer luck!" Zelda said and then took another bite of food.
"Me and Pit are new to this semester, just like Marth and Roy. But we moved in last week." Peach said as she clasped Pit's hand.
"Roy and I just got here today, clearly." Marth pointed out the obvious.
Everyone stopped talking and moving when they heard Xellos' voice from down the hall. Since he was still in his room they couldn't tell exactly what he was saying.
"Is he seriously talking to himself?" Roy asked.
"Why are you so leery of him?" Marth questioned him.
"Why aren't you? He's a freak." Roy sputtered and Marth sighed.
They all shrugged it off and continued eating and chatting, until Xellos actually walked into the kitchen again. They all froze and stopped and he dropped the empty bottle into the trash can and then receded back into his room. Once he was gone they all sighed in relief and picked the conversation back up.
Once they were all finished eating they all pitched in to clean up. Marth handed Peach all the plates and she washed them then handed them to Zelda who dried them then Snake put them away. The others focused on cleaning the table and stove.
"Card game time! It's a great way to get to know one another!" Pit exclaimed as he slapped down a deck of cards. They all jumped in and began playing endless round of poker, go fish, 21 and every other card game they knew of. Before they knew it it was already two in the morning and thankfully classes didn't start for another week.
Snake and Samus went back into their room and immediately went to sleep. Link and Zelda took ashower together before going to bed. Peach and Pit weren't tired in the slightest and watched a movie in the living room together. Marth and Roy were locked in a battle of war the card game still and Ike was dog tired.
"Ike, if you're so tired why don't you go to bed?" Roy asked as he laid down a seven.
"Can't." he replied simply with his chin resting on the edge of the table.
"Why not?" Marth asked as he beat Roy's hand with a king.
"Xellos will rape me…." Ike whined.
"You've been living with him for a year now and have yet to be raped, why would that change now?" Marth said as he moved a few strands of stray hair from his face and then put a jack down.
"I know that, but now I'm too scared." He confessed to his fears.
"Then sleep on the couch." Roy suggested and he lost yet another hand to Marth.
"But Peach and Pit are watching a movie on it." Ike said sadly as he glanced over at the happy couple.
"Then go sleep in your own bed and ignore the monster in the closet." Marth immediately began to laugh at his own joke, the so called monster was gay and thus in the closet and he was in fact some sort of monster. Ike and Roy must also of gotten this joke and laughed with him.
"Fine." Ike gave in and bid them a goodnight.
Peach and Pit finished their movie and headed off to bed at four in the morning, however Marth and Ike were still battling.
"You're good at this!" Roy exclaimed. "But I'm tired now, my ass hurts from this chair." He complained.
"I know how you feel! That four hour test at the main office yesterday made my ass turn to jelly." Marth said sympathetically as he picked up all of the cards and put them back neatly in the box. They left the box on the table and they headed off to bed and went to sleep.
"This is crazy but fun heh." Marth noted.
"I think it's scary and we're all gonna get raped." Roy half joked half shook in fear.
Marth sighed, Roy had an over active imagination.
