Hey there, guys! I'm back! :D So, it's finally up: the very first 500 word oneshot songfic in my tenshot collection. Based on the poll I had up on my profile (Thank you to all those who voted, by the way!), the couple I chose is Ike x Samus! I'm happy to finally write the first oneshot- which is based on the song Born to Die by Lana Del Rey.

Just to be clear, each and every oneshot songfic is 500 words. That excludes any and all author's notes.

This songfic is set in a modern day AU. Ike and Samus are in their mid-twenties, and they will be quite OOC. I apologize if any of that annoys anyone greatly.

In case you're curious, the title of this collection is actually a quote from German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.

I own absolutely nothing.

Anyways, please read & enjoy! :D

The sounds of soft jazz music playing from the radio and the jet black Ford Mustang's engine humming were the only things Ike could hear as he drove on the highway. His eyes were focused on the road, though his mind wasn't necessarily focused on that, too. Then again, any man whose girlfriend was inching one hand closer and closer to his groin would completely understand why that was the case.

"God, Samus! Must you be such a goddamn tease?" asked Ike. He tried to come off as frustrated, but a hint of lust was definitely evident in his voice.

"Quit bitching, Ike. You fucking love it, so don't deny it," replied Samus in between a giggle.

Ike scoffed, knowing she was right. "Goddamn it."

"Oh, boo hoo. Your girlfriend's horny and wants you to park somewhere private for a quickie. Yeah, your life totally sucks."

"That won't happen if we crash, babe."

"Point taken." Samus retracted her hand away from Ike's lap with a small pout. She reached into the back seat and grabbed a bottle of Jack Daniel's. She took a swig before offering it to Ike.

"Ah, what the hell? I got nothing else to lose," he said. He swallowed some of the amber-coloured liquid, letting it slide down his throat with ease.

"That robbery couldn't have gone off better, don't you think?" asked Samus suddenly.

"Damn right," said Ike. "You being a decoy as a stripper was a smart idea."

"Mmm… I still enjoy stripping, you know. But it's better when I do it for you."

Before Ike could ask her what the hell she meant, Samus ripped off the white T-shirt she had on, revealing her white and periwinkle blue polka dotted bra. He let a low whistle pass through his lips.

"Damn, baby… you look so fucking hot."

"Well, thank you. So, you think we're gonna make it to Mexico?"

"The border's only an hour away. We'll be just fine. We're fucking untouchable."

"Bonnie and Clyde would be so jealous," said Samus.

"You got that right," replied Ike. "You and I 'til the day we die. Promise?"

"Promise."

Without thinking, Ike turned his head and kissed Samus as hard as he could. She happily reciprocated the kiss with a small moan.

"Fuck, I love you," she mumbled.

"I love you too, baby," replied Ike before kissing her again.

The couple were so caught up in what they were doing that they suddenly crashed into the median. The car flipped a few times before finally resting on the middle of the highway. Horrified witnesses were quick to call 911, and emergency vehicles arrived on the scene as fast as they could.

But it didn't matter. Ike and Samus had been killed upon impact, most likely from massive trauma.

And as their bodies were ushered into their respective body bags, one could catch a brief glimpse of the tattoo etched on Samus' inner left wrist. That tattoo captured her and Ike's relationship perfectly.

Born to die

There ya go! I hope you all enjoyed the beginning of this oneshot songfic collection. :)

Please review, and don't forget to stay tuned for chapter 2! :D
