The Bounty Hunter and the Mercenary
Chapter 3- Uncomfort
The light through door from the other room shone on the bounty hunt. Samus yawned quietly as she slowly woke up. She felt something pulled her into a figure close to her back. She tiredly turned around and spotted a face. It was Ike. Samus would've punched him if she didn't realized that he was still sleeping.
Ike was somewhat relaxed, but rough in his sleep. He snored like a quiet pig. His chest touched Samus as he breathed up and down. One arms was flung over Samus and by her left side. She was like a stuff toy, if not, a pillow. As Samus looks around for an escape, she sees the blue blanket covers. She stared at them boggled. Then to looked across the room and there was her bed with the covers open wide like dropped jaws. How did she get here? Ike started to roll and lean over Samus, but she repealed by jabbing him in the gut. Ike squirmed away a little and grunted, but was still surprisingly asleep. Maybe that was a bit too much, Samus thought. For a few moments, Ike barely moved, his snoring was only thing that showed he was alive. Then Ike held Samus harder and closer. Now she could feel his warm breath and body. She tried to struggle out of his grip, but it was no use. Then she could hear him groaning. He mutter something of a weird dream. Instead of just escaping, Samus closed his eyes and started breathing normally.
"Ugh… What the?" Ike questioned and stared, gaping. "How did you-…Are you awake?" He asked quietly and rubbed a soft finger on her cheek. "I never knew you can be so… calm and chill in your sleep." He mumbled. "I wonder… if do this," Ike whisper and lean down. It was simply a kiss on her cheek. Ike sighed. "Nope, no reaction. Samus must be very tired from yesterday." Ike said as he got off the bed and left the room.
Samus was mentally screaming in her head with a red face as soon as he left. Why did Ike do that?! Samus grumbled something and slipped out of his bed and onto her's. By the touch of her bed, the chills crawl up her arm. Samus cursed.
"Morning, sunshine," Ike said teasingly as he entered back in the room, in his usual clothes. Samus sighed again and shot Ike an alarmingly glare. Whether he ignored it or had no idea what it meant, he still walk over casually. "What's your problem?" he asked.
"The bed. It's too cold," she complained to Ike. He stared at her for a moment.
"Oh, really?" he asked in another mocking way. Another annoyed glare from Samus. "Okay, chill, Samus. You can warm up in my bed," he allowed. Now she was dumbfounded.
"You're serious?" She asked. Ike nodded and jump on his bed, leaving enough room for Samus. She was hesitant and confused, but she laid down anyway.
"So, Samus…" Ike started, breaking the silence as he stared up at the ceiling. Samus looked up from under the covers. "Why were you sleeping in my bed?" He asked her. She just automatically shrugged. One eyebrow lowered from Ike's face. "Come on. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night and clearly you were in my bed. You must have some explanation," he told her strictly. She frowned with blank eyes. "Did you sleepwalk or something?" he asked again. Samus opened her mouth to respond, but someone knocked on the door.
This wasn't your normal knock knock "I have a deliver for you," from the mailman. These were harsh and loud like godzilla. Both roommates glanced at each other and Ike shrugged. They got up and he answered the door with Samus behind him. It reveal Link and Pikachu who was on Link's shoulder. Ike's eyes furrowed.
"Morning. What do you guys need?" he asked.
"Well, breakfast is downstairs and I mainly came because Zelda want to show you guys something. The others are downstairs too," Link informed him. Then Ike pointed at the yellow mouse. "He was really worried about Samus, especially what happened yesterday. So, he tagged along," Link also added.
"Pika chu!" Pikachu exclaimed with a mini smile.
"Okay, we'll be there in a second," Ike replied. Link nodded back and the door was shut on him. "Samus, get-" as Ike started, Samus was gone. The sound of rain sprang out of nowhere and he sighed with relief.
They all left the elevator. A crowd was around Zelda who was yelling eagerly with open arms with Peach by her side. They seemed to be announcing something to everyone.
"Would anyone like to volunteer?" Zelda called. Nearby was a table with a few potion of the same pink reddish color. Then Peach scanned the room until her eyes landed on Samus. She gasped and dash towards her.
"Sammy! You should try one of Zelda's potions! They actually give you a temporary power like intelligence," the perky princess said. Samus stared at her questionly.
"Really?" she asked. Peach nodded. "So, it won't kill me?" The princess almost nodded again, but paused.
"Why would you think we'll kill you, Sammy?" she asked with furrowed eyes. Samus just sighed irritatedly.
"Fine. I'll drink the potion, if you'll stop calling me that," she replied. Peach smiled happily and nodded. Samus followed Peach to Zelda who greeted and smiled to her. "You don't mind, if I have a drink?" she asked.
"Not at all! Go ahead," Zelda allowed her. Samus grabbed a cup which has the red gooey look of liquid inside. She frowned and gulped in disgust. Then she swallowed it almost whole. Someone started a timer as soon as Samus drank the substance. Fifteen minutes later, nothing happened. "Well, that wasn't suppose to happen…" Zelda mumbled, tapping her head with a piece of paper in her hand. Samus shrugged it off as everyone else groaned and left.
"I kinda expected more, to be honest," Ike said when Samus walked over. Link nodded.
"Yeah… I'm gonna see Zelda. She looks a bit down at the final results." he said and walked pass Samus to Zelda.
"You alright?" Ike suddenly asked.
"Uh, yeah? I'm perfectly fine." she replied.
"After a drink of a magic potion? Wow, you're brave," Ike taunted. Samus just roughly punched him on the shoulder.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get ourselves some breakfast," she told him and started off to the kitchen. Ike smiled as he followed behind her.
The day dragged on and more smashers from the previous year or brawlers came back for their next crazy year in the mansion. The rest of the day was oddly calm, but tense. Lunch came with an argument that spread to others about who is better at what like sword fighting, brawling, swimming, and farther down the list. Dinner was a big food fight of cake and spicy curry. Finally everyone returned to their rooms to retreat for the night.
Samus and Ike entered into their room and the mercenary went to shower first. Samus skipped the shower and got into her pajamas. Then she was back to her computer. Ike returned back to the room and randomly toss a bag of potato chips to her. It landed in front of Samus and she looked up from her laptop.
"What?" she asked with a slight hint of rudeness.
"One, you're welcome for the chips and two, your turn in the bathroom," he told her. Samus sighed and slumped her shoulders. "Don't be like that! You're not even gonna take a shower," Ike said back. She nearly asked him how he knew, but Ike interrupted her. "PJs," was his response and he just jumped onto his bed. She lugged herself out of her bed and towards the bathroom. After brushing her teeth and cleaning up quickly, she returned back and… her finger rose up to point at the tv screen.
"Ike… how did you…." she started breathlessly. The mercenary was lounging on his bed while eating some of his chips, smiling. Samus looked back at the living room and stared with an amazed face. "You manage to get the tv from the living room to here?" she questioned. Ike just nodded. "Wow…" she mumbled and went over to her bed. She shut her computer and laid on her bed.
They watch a few shows of silly animals which made them smile, chuckle, giggle, or burst out laugh. In the middle of a commercial, Samus could feel her eyelids lower and grew weary. Eventually she zonked out.
Author's Note:
Okay, first, I know this is much shorter than the two previous chapters, but this actually leads up to chapter 4(which will be very interesting). It bothers me too, but it will be like this. In this series, there will actually be more characters than just Ike, Samus, Marth and Link. There will be Peach, Pit and Zelda too. Then when I bring in the newcomers(Lucina, Robin, Corrin, Bowser Jr. and so on) there will be much more including the DLC characters(Roy, Cloud and Bayonetta). I don't really have much to say again... So, see ya!
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING ABOUT SUPER SMASH BROTHERS! ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS! Thank you!
