I had this done before but I had like 200 words to go because I was stuck on the last part with numerous ideas. Well, here's Chapter 2! I know there's' not much storyline yet but it'll come starting with this one. Enjoy!
~ The Next Day ~
"Good morning sweetie!" Marth happily says to Link, who is sleeping in his bed. Link jumps up, "Whoa, who's there?" He looks over to his side and sees Marth holding his hands together and smiling, looking down at him. "Oh, it's you! Good morning Marth!" It always warms Link's heart to see Marth wake him up some mornings.
He thinks that the prince is so adorable and sweet that sometimes, he just can't believe he gets to be with him. Link gets up and embraces the anxious boy. "So how are you today, my little boyfriend?" Marth blushes and giggles at Link's words, "I'm great! How are you?" Link hugs Marth even tighter, "The same, especially with you here."
Marth giggles and smiles again, "Aww. I love you Linky."
"I love you too Marthy." They stay embracing for a few more seconds then Link lets go, "I'm going to go get ready. Be back soon." He then goes into the conveniently located restroom and shuts the door. Marth goes and sits down on the couch. He relaxes there until Link comes out of the bathroom.
Immediately Marth runs into him and jumps onto him. He clings onto his waist by his legs and wrapping his arms around his neck, "I missed you!" Link laughs and holds Marth up, "I was only gone for a few minutes." A sudden knock on the door interrupts the two. Marth gets down from Link's grip and walks towards the door.
"Who is it?" Marth asks, standing in front of the door. "It's Pit. Please open up." Marth opens the door and Pit seems quite frantic. Pit is Ike's roommate. Marth gets a worried look on his face, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I-It's Ike..." He is trying to catch his breath since he ran all the way here. "Ike! I-I'm coming!" Marth pushes past Pit and runs towards Ike's room.
Marth opens the door and nearly cries at what he sees. Ike is lying on the floor, unconscious. Marth kneels down on the floor next to him. He drags up Ike's upper body and lets him rest in his arm. "Ike! Wake up Ike!" Marth keeps on shaking Ike's body, trying to get a response. Link slams open the door, followed by Pit.
"Is he alright?" Link asks worriedly. He does not care for Ike but tries to for Marth. But he soon notices an unconscious Ike and can't help but feel bad about it. "I-I don't know! He won't wake up!" Link goes over to Ike and carries him in his arms, "Let's go to Peach, she can help us."
Marth nods his head and Pit opens up the door for them. When they get to Peach's room she lets them in and Link places Ike on the couch. "Ike won't get up. He seems to be unconscious." Peach gasps and walks over to the two, "This is not good. Does anyone know why he is this way?" Pit walks over and sighs, "I do. Last night, he left and came back with a bottle of Vodka. I-I tried to stop him from drinking but he wouldn't listen to me. In the morning, all of it was gone and he hasn't been up since."
Marth starts to cry, "He's too young for that! W-What should we do?" Peach goes over to the cabinet and pulls out a medicine bottle, "We have to give him some of this and he should wake up, though the effects of the alcohol may not wear off just yet." Marth volunteers and puts a cup full of the medicine into Ike's mouth.
A few seconds later Ike gets up, coughing. Marth squeezes him, "Why did you do that Ike? I was so worried about you!" Ike hugs him back and looks around the room, "Y-You won't want to know. I-It doesn't matter."
"Would you like to tell me later then?" Marth asks him. "I-I guess." Ike is still drunk so Marth walks him back to his room.
"Thanks for the help Peach!" Link says as he walks out of the room. "You're welcome." She smiles as she shuts the door behind them. Link stays with Marth and Ike, and Pit goes elsewhere to do who-knows-what. Marth is holding onto Ike to get to his room but he is becoming very heavy as Ike is barely holding up any of his own weight.
"Ahh, Ike..." Marth says, struggling to keep him up. Link sees Marth ready to fall so he grabs Ike from him on the other side. "Link... g-get away f-from m-me you b-b-bastard..." Ike drunkenly tells Link. Link gets angry and was about to let go of Ike so he falls, but Marth sees Link let go of one hand so he stops him, "Link, please don't. He doesn't know any better."
Link puts his other hand on Ike's shoulder and continues walking, "Fine." Throughout the rest of the walk to Ike's room, Ike would occasionally make rude remarks to Link and each time it would piss him off even more. Link was at the breaking point until they made it to his room. Link drops him on the couch and walks away.
"I'm leaving now. Come on Marth." Link stands at the door waiting for Marth to follow him. Marth shakes his head, "No, I'm going to stay to make sure he is okay." Link doesn't like the idea of Marth staying with Ike again, especially after what happened last time. But, he also knows that if he argues against it, Marth will end up getting his way anyways.
"Alright, please be back soon, honey. I love you." Marth smiles at him, "I love you too." Link quietly closes the door and Marth turns his attention to the drunken Ike, "Ike-." He starts but he is soon interrupted. Ike leans on Marth's shoulder and whispers in his ear, "Y-You're c-c-cute Marth..." Marth smiles and grows a faint blush on his face. He just loves it when people compliment him.
Ike nibbles on Marth's ear and Marth's face reddens even more, "Ike, please s-stop..." But Marth soon starts to enjoy this and his words start to fade out. Ike still continues to nibble on his ear and it soon begins to pick up. Ike gives a trail of kisses up Marth's neck and Marth still does not make any attempt to free himself. Once Ike gets close to Marth's face, the smell of alcohol fills his nose and he immediately pulls away.
"Ahh! Don't do this!" Marth stands a few feet away from Ike. Ike, still drunk, follows after him, "M-Marth..." Marth continues to back away from Ike but Ike just comes closer each time. Marth ends up being against the wall. He quickly tries to maneuver right but Ike slams his hand on the wall. Marth tries to go the other way but again, he does the same thing.
"Ike," Marth pleas, "Let me go..." Ike chuckles and brings his face closer to Marth's. Marth turns his head, trying not to inhale the scent. "S-Stop... I'm with L-Link..." Ike whispers to Marth, "H-He w-won't know... Y-You're mine now." Ike closes his eyes and gently leans in for a kiss. Marth puts both of his hands in front of his face and pushes Ike out of the way.
Ike fumbles back and falls on the floor. Marth storms to the door and opens it, "I don't care how drunk you are! I'm out of here!" Marth slams the door closed and runs back to his room. He goes in and pouts as he sits down on the edge of his bed. Who does he think he is? He knows I'm with Link! He needs to stop doing this to me, it's not right!
Link gets up and walks over to Marth. He quietly talks to him, "Marth, what's wrong?" Marth looks away from Link, "I don't want to talk about it." Link sits down next to him and looks straight into his eyes, "You can tell me anything. Does it have something to do with Ike?"
Marth nods his head and looks down at the sheets. Link scoots closer and puts his arm around Marth's shoulder, "What did he do to you?" Marth grabs Link's hand and intertwines his fingers in Links'. "Please don't be mad at me." Link grows more and more worried as Marth stalls but he cooperates with him and promises he won't be mad at him.
"Okay well... You see, I was on the couch next to him and he started to umm, nibble on my ear. He then started to kiss my neck and stuff then... then... then... then he..." Marth could feel the tears start to weld up in his eyes. He feels so ashamed at how he hadn't stopped Ike before he did anything. Marth pauses and Link's face grows with concern. Then Marth suddenly bursts into tears and walks away, cupping his hands over his face.
"You deserve someone better than me!" Marth screams out at him, "I should have made him stop earlier! I'm sorry! I'm the worst boyfriend ever!" Link walks to Marth and hugs him by his back. He gently brushes his hair with his hand, "Marth, it is okay. You don't need to cry. You're too beautiful for that." He walks around to face Marth and gently wipes his face with both hands. "And you're not the worst boyfriend ever. You're the best."
"T-Thank you L-Link," Marth tells him. Link continues to wipe his face as the tears are still slowly running, "No need to thank me. Now stop crying, let's go sit down." Marth nods and they sit down next to each other. "Want me to talk to Ike? That little -," Marth covers Link's mouth with his hand, "Umm, uhh, no it's okay. I will."
Link takes Marth's hand off of his mouth, "No. Every time you do he tries and gets close to you. I will talk to him. You can come if you like." Marth nods his head but talks about how Ike is still drunk so he won't really talk straight. Link assures him that he shouldn't be drunk any more since he has been all last night. They go to Ike's room and just walk right in.
Ike is lying on his bed, appearing to be drawing in some type of sketchbook. He quickly shuts it once he hears the door open, but Marth catches him once again, "What's that?" He asks. Ike's face reddens and he puts the book under his pillow, "Umm, nothing..." Marth can tell Ike is lying. After all, they have been best friends for 2 years.
"Give me it," Marth holds his hand open and speaks in a demanding tone. Ike shakes his head and scoots further back on his bed. Marth walks up to Ike, "Alright, if you won't give it to me, I'll just take it from you." He puts both of his hands on Ike's side and tries pushing him away. He tries for several moments until he gets tired and steps away, "Fine, you win." Ike laughs.
"So, what's up?" Marth looks down and walks next to Link, "He'll tell you." Ike looks at Link, awaiting his reply. Link wastes no time in telling Ike off, "Listen jackass. I know I can't keep him away from you but you need to stop kissing and flirting with Marth because he's mine." Marth tugs on Link's arm and speaks in a low voice, "Link, not so mean." Link now glares at Ike but speaks to Marth, "He deserves it, Marth."
Marth sighs and let's go of Link's arm. Ike gets up and walks over to Marth, "I do it because I love you. You mean so much to me. I don't know if you realize this but, YOU ARE JUST SO FRICKIN' ADORABLE!" Marth blushes and Ike tilts his head and leans down to give him a quick peck on the cheek. Link completely loses it, "HE'S MY PRINCEY-KINS!" He grabs Marth's arm and drags him out the door. If one looks hard enough, they can see steam coming out of the Hylian's pointy ears.
End of Chapter 2. Ike's reasoning for drinking WILL be explained, no worries. I'll TRY not to take as long but distractions await me. Wii, Youtube, I can't help it! But I'll try to.
Smoshy Fever 1, still not liking the Ike x Marth? It's not too bad right? I mean, for now. But this story's a little lighter so it's nothing toooooo bad.
But until next time everyone... (Who reads this anyway)
Bye!
