When Life Gives You Lemons

Theme 1: Seeking Solace

"You think that I'm suicidal? Honestly? Me!? Who in god's name told you that!?" Soren raged, uncrossing his legs and jumping bolt upright on the leather sofa he'd been lounging in. Sitting in an armchair about seven feet across from the sofa, Kirby glanced up from his notes to fully take in the tactician's reaction. Being the only psychiatrist at the mansion, he was quickly getting good at making fast diagnoses.

"Certain individuals have expressed concern that maybe you're not adjusting to life here as quickly as you should be. As your psychiatrist I just want to make sure that you haven't let recent circumstances-" The small pink blob drawled, his high pitched voice chafing the sages ears like Steel wool.

"Who reported me!? I want a name Kirby!" The black haired boy demanded.

"That's Dr. Kirby to you Soren." Kirby corrected.

"Name!!!"

"It's not important who reported you Link."

"Of course it's important I- did you just call me Link?" Soren inquired, his eye's narrowing.

"No. I didn't." The blob lied.

"I knew it! It was Link! That rat bastard!"

"As your roommate he was concerned for your-"

"I'll throttle him! Oh I'm gonna kill him! Reporting me to the administrator. Now I'm stuck sitting here talking to a wad of gum!" The youth vented, either ignoring or not caring about Kirby's presence.

"Obnoxious!? That's a little uncalled for!"

"Whatever Bazooka Joe."

!!! !!! !!!

"How long do you think we have?" Pit panted as Ike tugged the boy's t-shirt over his head. Keeping the cherubs arms in the sleeves, he pulled what remained of the shirt and tucked it behind Pit's chocolate locks. As the fabric stretched his delicate wings popped out of the holes that had been cut in the back of the shirt for them.

"I dunno, ten minutes. Fifteen maybe." Ike offered, silencing his lover with a gentle kiss. As their lips pressed against one another and their tongues danced passionately, Pit began to work his hands across the mercenary's bare chest. Fighting against the shirt which was still around his arms and restricting his movement, he snaked his left hand down until he felt his lovers leather belt. Undoing the metal clasp on the front he pulled the belt loose of the denim straps and threw it to the floor.

Taking the hint Ike slid his trouser off and discarded them as well, now wearing nothing but boxer he rubbed his hardness against the prominent bulge inside of his angel's pants. The cherub had to stifle a gasp as he felt an overwhelming sensuality grip him.

"No more games Ike, I want you now!" Pit declared, ripping his pants and boxers off in one swift motion. Removing the brunettes shirt completely Ike stared lovingly at the angel's bare body, his wings fanned out and splayed over the bed sheets.

"Aren't we eager today?" Ike teased, sticking his index finger in his mouth. Circling the digit with his tongue he made sure it was fully coated before he removed it.

"I've been waiting all day for this." Pit confessed blushing heavily. Gently Ike eased his index finger inside of the boys opening, Pit sighed in relief as he felt it slide all the way in effortlessly. Working his finger around inside his lover for a moment, Ike removed it quickly. Sticking his middle finger inside of his mouth now, he lubricated the as well. Positioning them both before Pit's hole he eased them in feeling more resistance from the cherub's body than he had with just one finger.

The cherub cried out and clasped at the bed sheets, clamping both of his eyes shut. The bluenette was initially worried he'd hurt his angel, until his saw the twitch in the boy's wings. I love that, that little quiver. And when you see, you know he's enjoying himself. Every time.

"Look's like I hit something." Ike joked, removing both fingers slowly. Letting some saliva trickle down from his lips into his palm, he slicked up his length and sat down on the bed, cross legged. "Come on Pit, sit in my lap. I don't bite"

Crawling on the sheets the brunette made his way over to the mercenary, standing up he positioned himself directly over the man, putting his length directly in his bluenette's face. Sitting down carefully, Pit grabbed Ike's slick penis with one hand, and positioned it at his entrance. Continuing to sit he felt the head work it's way inside of him. As he felt it prod around inside himself he cried out and wrapped his arms around Ike. Losing control of his body the rest of the bluenette's penis was swallowed up by the cherub quickly as he fell into Ike's lap, resting his bare bottom against his lover's muscular thighs.

"Start moving please." Pit whimpered before Ike had a chance to ask if he was alright.

"Sure, okay." Ike answered, slowly thrusting upwards and wrapping his arms abound Pit, being careful of the cherub's wings, which were trembling with excitement.

!!! !!! !!!

"So, what'd you wanna talk about Link?" Snake asked, a curious look on his face. Nervously Link shied away from the mercenary, a gentle blush peaking across his face. The brunette had always known the blonde to be withdrawn and mousy, but there was something different about this. He seemed anxious, almost scared.

"I just wanted to…well, I needed to ask you something." Link choked, hugging both his hands to his chest and keeping his gaze downcast.

"Sure Link, whatever you need. Ask away." The brunette reassured, patting his friend on the shoulder. Gosh is he shaking? What's got Link so worked up?

"Well I-I actually- it's something I need to t-tell you, not ask you." The Hylian murmured, his whole body retreating and shrinking before his closest friend.

"Well you can tell me anything Link. That's what friends are for."

"Y'know what? Never mind, I don't think I wanna do this."

"C'mon Link, don't be like that. You know we'll always be friends, no matter what."

"I think that I'm gay Snake!" Link forced himself to exclaim rather loudly, before he had a chance to lose his nerve. Immediately the mercenary recoiled a bit, his eyes widening slightly as what the blonde had yelled sunk in.

"You're what?"

"Gay, I said that I think I'm-"

"Oh no! No, no, no! No way! There is no fucking way that-"

"I knew I shouldn't have said anything! I knew it!" Link cried, tears already welling up in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, that was stupid Snake!" Immediately the Hylian tried to turn and run away, but felt a strong hand gently wrap around his wrist.

Shocked Link gazed back at the bluenette who looked almost as uncomfortable as Link felt. A sour grimace on his face, he refused to look the distraught blonde in the eyes. Finally he broke the horribly awkward silence with a deep sigh.

"Fuck! Fuck me! I…you…Let's go grab a smoothie Link."

!!! !!! !!!

"Snake…I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." Link repeated weakly for what must have been the tenth time. Taking a long sip from the plastic cup in front of him, Snake leaned back on the stool he was sitting on. Gazing absently at the variety of juices and drinks on the shelves directly behind the bar, he paused to think.

"Don't apologize Link, you're the nicest guy I've met here, being a homo won't change that. Now just promise that you won't start crying again like you did outside my room." Snake ordered, patting the boy on the back warmly. Sniffling slightly Link swiped at his eyes and smiled.

"Promise!" He exclaimed, beaming a smile. "You must think I'm gross though."

"Not at all! There's nothing wrong with being… that, not at all. You just, well, surprised me was all. I definitely wasn't expecting it!"

"It's…I mean, it's weird though, isn't it? Liking guys?" The Hylian asked, his voice weak with shame.

"Well I won't deny that it's not normal, but there's nothing weird about it. I say do whatever makes you happy. And trust me, you're not the first. I mean look at Pit, and Ike, and Marth…not to mention Roy." The brunette paused to think. "Am I the only one here who's straight?"

"I know about all of those guys but…they all, well, they all have somebody. Who'd want to be with me?" Link continued, gazing down at the orange peach smoothie slowly melting in front of him. Delicately he leaned down and took a brief sip from the straw, never moving the cup closer to him.

"Oh come on Link, I'm sure there's a guy out there with your name written all over him." Immediately the small blonde stared up from his smoothie at Snake, a glimmer of hope in his eyes "I am not that guy…"

"I figured not." Link sighed, forcing a smile.

"Don't feel bad, Ijust don't swing that way is all. If it's any consolation, I'd definitely do it if I was…y'know…" The two sat in awkward silence for a long while before almost simultaneously breaking out into uncontrollable laughter.

!!! !!! !!!

"Oh god that's so good!" Pit yelped, his whole body going rigid. The couple had decided to reposition themselves, Ike lying flat on the bed, and Pit sitting on top of him, cowgirl style. His eyes clamped tightly shut, he tried to regain control of himself.

"Wanna go back to how we were doing?" Ike asked, studying his lovers flawless body. He loved to take it all in, especially that face Pit always made when he was turned on. A blush on his cheeks, his eyes closed, eyebrows arched up, and his mouth always hanging open slightly. The mercenary couldn't get enough of it.

"No, I wanna do it like this. I'm okay!" The cherub assured. Taking a deep breath he raised himself slightly only to impale himself on the bluenette's massive length again. He felt a warm pleasure snake it's way up his spine and mewled with delight. Sighing he raised and lowered himself again, getting the same result.

Slowly he worked himself into a comfortable pace, all Ike did was lie back on the bed and enjoy the show, not to mention the warmth and tightness of Pit's bottom squeezing around his penis. As the rhythm increased however, he felt himself nearing an inevitable orgasm, and by the fluttering of the angel's snow white wings, the bluenette guessed he was close as well.

Raising his knees and digging his heels into the bed sheets Ike began to thrust his length up into Pit, moving himself in time with the boy. The motion was immediately rewarded with deep moans and cries of pleasure from Pit who lost complete control of himself. Moving his body up and down insanely on top of the mercenary, Pit cried out in pleasure as he felt every nerve in his body light up.

"Oh god! It's like I'm gonna go crazy Ike!" He yelled, planting both hands flat on Ike's stomach for support, he began to rock up and down even faster. Taking a hint the bluenette began to move faster too, grunting with pleasure of his own. God he's so sexy, I don't think that I can…

"Oh Pit!" Ike called, feeling himself release deep within the boy, and a powerful climax ripping through his whole body. As the mercenary's toes grabbed and groped at the bits of bed sheet beneath him, the feeling of warm semen inside him sent the brunette over as well.

"Ike!" The cherub screamed as he came hard, shooting cum all over both Ike and himself and shaking from the orgasm. Exhausted, he immediately collapsed on top of Ike's chest, and felt the man's length slowly slide out of him. Panting and breathing harshly. The two couldn't manage to do anything but enjoy the warmth of their bodies against each other as they came down from the ecstasy.

Both were rocked back to reality however by the sound of the toilet flushing in their bathroom. Immediately they covered themselves up with bed sheets.

"Who the fuck's there!?!" Ike exclaimed, shocked.

"What the hell!?" Pit joined, embarrassed. Slowly the bathroom door creaked open to reveal an uncomfortable looking princess Peach.

"I um, well, had to go to the bathroom so I…" The blonde trialed off, her face burning with embarrassment.

"You weren't supposed to be here until…now! Right now, actually!" Ike growled, completely flabbergasted.

"Well I got here early, and the door wasn't locked so I-"

"Why wouldn't you tell us you were here before we started doing stuff!" Pit cried.

"Well I was going to the bathroom and, well, I just started hearing 'things'. And then it really started and I was too embarrassed to do anything." She stammered, burying her face in her hands.

"So then you heard….all of it?" Ike groaned, wincing in shame.

"Yeah…You sounded like you were…having fun, at least." She offered meekly.

!!! !!! !!!

"Link you bastard!" Soren roared bursting into his room. Immediately the poor Hylian winced, shrinking into the cushions of the loveseat facing their television.

"What?" He asked, already knowing why the tactician was mad. As the black haired boy loosened the tie around his neck, he stared at his roommate, absolutely seething.

"You told Kirby I was suicidal!? Are you serious!? Now I have to go to stupid fucking therapy ever Saturday for the next 2 months! God damn it!"

"I'm sorry Soren, you just seemed really depressed is all. You never leave the room, you don't want to talk, I was worried you were unhappy." Link explained, worried his new roommate now thoroughly hated him.

" Well I'm unhappy because…" The youth paused, a pained look on his face. Because I'll never have Ike. "I'm unhappy because I have a pain in the ass roommate and everybody in this mansion is obnoxious. Even Ike, who you've all apparently infected with whatever disease is killing off your brain cells!" The teen exploded, causing the Hylian to cower and curl up into a ball on the couch.

"I just wanted to help was all." The blonde retorted, staring at the space on the couch between his feet.

"Well you didn't help, you made things worse, a lot worse!"

"I'm sorry."

"Damn it Link! I mean come on!" Soren exclaimed, still angry, but calming down.

"I told him today." Link muttered offhandedly, still staring down aimlessly. Immediately the raven haired teen softened, sitting on the couch next to the boy, he put a hand on his shoulder.

"How did he take it?" The tactician cooed sympathetically, all his anger melting away. Soren could be rather cold to his roommate sometimes, but secretly he had something of a soft spot for him.

"He took it well, he doesn't hate me…"

"I told you he'd be fine with it. Did you…tell him about the other part?" Soren pried, conscious of how delicate Link was emotionally.

"Well, sort of. I didn't bring it up, but he told me he wasn't interested." The Hylian answered.

"Well, he's still your friend right?"

"Yeah, I think he is…what if he hates me now?"

"Oh he doesn't hate you Link. And I'm proud of you." Soren said, hugging the teen close to him. "It's a relief, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it does feel good."
