Ike slumped into the cushioned chair beside Link.
"What's with the long face? Where's Marth?" The Hylian asked, immediately noticing Ike's worried state.
"In bed with a headache." Ike replied grimly.
"Well that's okay, his headaches go away real easy. A quick nap and he'll be fine." Link assured, trying to sooth his friends fears.
"I know but, it's just hard to sit down here while he's up there in pain."
Ike was always protective of the ones he loved. He knew a headache wasn't the worst thing the prince had gone throw but it still wasn't a nice felling.
"I'll be alright Ike. It's sweet that your so worried about me but you can't hover over me whenever I feel a little ill. And we're on vacation so go have fun." Marth said before sending the mercenary down stairs. Despite what some think, Marth definitely wore the pants in this relationship, aside from bed time of course.
"I know how you feel. I get a heart attack whenever Zelda gets even the teensiest of scratches. It's our protective nature." Link said, sympathizing with Ike. "It might be hard but try and have a little fun tonight."
"Ya, I'm sure I'll be alright after I get my mind off it. Thanks bud."
*****Later******
Ike cheered along with the others as the women danced around the room.
Though the night started off on a low note with Marth getting sick, after some time Ike was caught up in the music and started enjoying himself. Now don't get him wrong, he was still worried about his boyfriend, but Ike had forced himself not to think about it.
The belly dancers twirled in a uniformed circle, the scarves they held flapping in the breeze they created making a beautiful display.
Suddenly the spinning ring of ladies broke apart and started picking people from the crowd to come up and dance with them.
One with a purple outfit and strait black hair approached Ike, gently letting scarf she was holding fall behind his neck. Then she pulled on the ends causing their faces to come within inches off each other.
Now instinctively Ike wanted to pull away being that he was always a fateful man and getting this close to someone other than Marth felt wrong. But seeing how the other smashers where fine with it, whether they were women, men, kids… other or if they were in a relationship or not, they all knew, including Ike, that it was just part of the show.
So with Link whooping in the background, Ike followed the women on the dance floor, along with Peach, Pokemon Trainer, R.O.B, Samus, Toon Link, and Luigi. All the while never noticing the eyes watching him from the doorway. The silent figure watched for some time as Ike and the women danced before slipping away.
This sounds familiar, could it be the same as chapter 1 of 'What I'll Do For You'?
This part was 1 page on paper but 2 ½ on the computer. To be honest though, the whole conversation between Link and Ike never happened in the rough draft so there's a BIG chunk added.
I'm worried about the next chapter. It's gonna need to be edited A LOT! The characters are too whiny and emotional but I will try to fix it as best I can. ^^
