3. The Mercenary's Unexpected Return

Chapter Three – The Mercenary's Unexpected Return

The two angels have been with Roy for a month now, and are enjoying their stay with the general and the prince. Back several months early, Ike meets the two angels, and agrees with Roy that they need a loving home, just not here. Before the matters with Ike, the queen believes that Roy is not fit to raise two angels. Can Roy convince her to let him keep them? Though he knows Ike does not like children, he still tries to persuade the mercenary to let him keep the two angels.

"Dinner's ready!" We hear our father call from in the kitchen.

I look up from the paper I was writing and see Kuro also staring at me. I smile at him as we get up from our spots and rush out the door of our room. We see Marth coming out of his room as well. Kuro keeps heading to the kitchen, but I stop and wait for the blue haired prince.

"Hey Pit." He greets kindly.

"Hi Marth!" I smile at him.

"How are you doing on your school work?" Marth asks as we walk into the kitchen.

"Boring." I sigh. "But I can read now, so it's okay I guess. Kuro sucks at math though." I look up and see Kuro glaring at me.

"Does he now? After looking over your papers, I've seen that you too, also suck at math." Marth gives me a suspicious stare.

I lower my head and hop over to Kuro before he can say anything else. Marth smiles, then sits down next to me. Marth is the one who goes over our papers, then sends them to the school. Instead of going to the actual school, the books and worksheets were given to us to do our schooling at home. Roy helps us with our work, while Marth checks them and sends them back to the school.

Roy comes over and sets a plate in front of each of us. I look down to see what it is. I don't know why, but I don't really like eating meat, so when Roy isn't looking, I give it to Kuro, who eats more than Marth, Roy and me all put together. Roy had made some sort of beef with vegetables.

Roy gets up to go do something and I quickly give it to Kuro. I watch as he sits and stares at it.

"Quit staring and eat it!" I quietly yell at him.

"You need to eat your own food." Kuro looks up at me.

"No, you know I don't like meat. Eat it!" I tell him again.

Kuro just shrugs and eats it as I turn back to my plate. I see Marth watching us amusedly. I just start eating my vegetables, pretending as if I didn't see him watching us. Once I finish, I sit back in the chair, wondering where Roy went. He comes back inside, holding a couple envelopes.

"Sorry, I forgot to check the mail earlier, and if I put it off, I would have forgotten." He looks at all of them, then opens one. "These are you grades Kuro." He informs my twin.

"You're failing math with an F- and science, also with an F-. And you're passing social studies with a B, and language arts an A+. Pit, you're failing math, F-, science, D-, language arts, F- but you're passing social studies with a C+. What do you two spend your time doing when you should be studying?" Roy puts the papers down and gives us both a stern look.

We both just look down, as we aren't going to openly tell our father that we are usually laying against each other, listening to Kuro whisper very arousing things into my ear as he softly runs his fingertips down my spine. We hear him sigh.

"You two need to get your grades up, or you will have to go back to doing your studying under one of our watch. I know you're smarter than this, so use it. A good education is important when growing up. Start paying more attention to your studies." He tells us strictly.

"But math is so hard, and I have a hard time reading." I whine.

I know Kuro thinks math is hard to, but he can actually read.

"I know you have a hard time reading Pit, but have Kuro help you. Me or Marth could help you too if you want. And don't whine." He picks up another one of the letters, then hands it to Marth.

I look back to my plate in shame. I would ask for help, it's just embarrassing. Kuro is also staring at his plate.

"Get to your room and finish your studying. When you're done, get ready for bed." Roy orders as he stands up from the table.

He walks off towards his room, staring down at the letter he's been looking at. It's probably a letter from Ike. He gets them all the time, but something must have happened. Usually he's so kind to us, but he's being a little harsh about or grades.

I look over at Kuro just as he looks at me. We grab our plates and bring them into the kitchen, put them in the sink, then go back to our room. I go back to the chair I was sitting in and pick up my papers. I open the large book back up to the page it was on.

Kuro hops back onto the bed and lays down again. He starts reading the book he was previously reading. After about ten minutes of aimlessly staring at the words on the book, I hear a quiet knock on the open door. Kuro and I both look up. Roy is standing in the doorway, staring at the ground. He looks up.

"Have you finished your studying?" He asks quietly.

Kuro looks back down at the book he was reading. He walks into the room and sits down on the floor in front of me. I look down at him shamefully. Though I know he won't hurt me for not doing my work, I still shrink back out of habit.

"Do you need help with your work?" He asks quietly.

I shake my head 'no', even though I do. Marth taught me how to read, but for some reason, I just can't do it anymore. It's almost as if I forgot how.

"Are you sure? I will help you if you want." Roy offers one more time.

"Yes, I'm sure." I reply.

"Alright. You two can be done for now. Get a jacket on and come down." Roy stands up and walks out of the room.

Me and Kuro quickly put our books up and get dressed in warm clothing, getting on a thick coat. We both make our way out to the living room where Roy is standing next to the door. Once he sees us, he opens the door and goes outside.

We quickly follow, as we love going outside with him. We aren't usually allowed outside because it's dangerous, but when we do go outside, Marth or Roy is always with us. It's dark, so I wonder why Roy is letting us go outside. I run up to the ginger.

"Father, where are we going?" I ask as I look up to him.

He looks down at me. "Into town. Umm. I-I can't have you two. I have to give you to someone else." He confesses quietly.

I stop walking. He also stops, turning back to me. I feel tears well up in my eyes. I finally find a parent I love and want to have as my parent, and he has to get rid of us. Kuro comes up beside me, looking just as shocked.

"B-But why? Do you not want us anymore?" I force out past the sadness choking me.

"No, that's not it at all. I want to keep you, I love you two, but the queen says I can't have you. I'm apparently not eligible to care for you." Roy stares down at the ground.

I can tell that he's fighting back tears just as much as Kuro is. I'm just letting them go.

"You're the best parent we've had though. How are you not eligible?" Kuro asks.

"They think I'm not eligible because you're angels. I have to bring you to someone waiting at the central square, and they will bring you back to Heaven somehow." Roy explains.

I back up slowly. "No! I don't want to go back! They don't want us there, we were sent away because we can't be there!"

"I'm sorry, but I have to. If I don't I could go to jail, and then you wouldn't be able to be with me anyways." Our father steps forward and picks me up.

He cradles me to his chest and looks down at me. The tears stream down my cheeks. This is the first time I've ever cried because our parent doesn't want us or has to get rid of us. He hugs me tight, and I hug back.

"Don't give us away! Please, we've done nothing wrong!" I beg as I press my face into his shoulder.

"You haven't done anything wrong, but I can't have you because you're angels. I want to keep you, but I can't. I'm sorry." He whispers as he turns and starts walking towards town.

I know Kuro is following because Roy is holding me. I lay against him, my arms wrapped around his neck, as he carries me into town. He's softly rubbing my back to help calm me, but no matter what he does, I can't stop crying thinking that he has to give us away.

"Ah, those must be the boys she told me about. That one seems a little emotional." I hear an unfamiliar voice.

"Yes. Their names are Pit and Kuro. This is Pit." I feel him lift me a little. "And the one behind me is Kuro. Please be careful with them. They've been through a lot." I hear Roy tell the man quietly.

"Alright. They'll have a chance to explain why they're here when they are present to the queen." I feel large hands on my sides.

I immediately tighten my grip on Roy's throat. I wrap my legs around his stomach and burry my face farther into his neck.

"Please, give me a minute to talk to them." Roy takes a step back.

"Only one minute." He says.

Roy walks over to the bench beside where we were standing. He sits down. I hear Kuro huff as he hauls himself up onto it. I sit back a little. Our blue eyes meet, me silently begging him to find some way to keep us.

"I'm sorry, but we have to do this. You both know I love you, but I can't keep you. I'm not a fit parent for you." Roy reaches up and softly dries my tears.

"But you're the best parent we've ever had! You don't hurt us, or yell at us, or be mean to us at all! You are always nice to us! How can you not be a fit parent?" I whine as more tears well up in my eyes.

"Because you are angels, and I am just a human. I can't take care of you the right way." He gives me a sincere look.

"There is no difference in parenting for an angel and a human! All we need is for you to be there, and care for us! It's not like we need anything special! I don't want him to take us! I want to stay with you!" I bury my face in his neck again.

"I'm sorry Pit." He whispers as he hugs me back.

I feel his nose in the crook of my neck. Kuro is staring at the ground. I know he doesn't want to leave either. Kuro was the first of us to trust Roy. This is tearing him apart as well, but he's good at hiding his emotions.

Roy pulls me off him and sets me on the bench. He picks up Kuro, who latches himself to Roy tightly. He finally can't keep it in, and lets the tears stream down his cheeks.

"I don't want to leave!" I hear Kuro sob into his shoulder.

"I know, I know. You'll be fine, I promise." Roy whispers as he pets Kuro's back kindly.

I move over to him and lift myself on his shoulder. He looks over at me. I lean forward and press my cheek to his. He tips his head to press our faces together more. My eyes close as I nudge his cheek with my nose softly. He reaches up with one hand and puts it on my cheek.

The man watches as we rub our cheeks together and Kuro cries into his neck. Roy and I both let our tears go, silently crying as I keep my cheek pressed to his. The man walks over, still watching us.

"Roy. It's been more than five minutes. Let's go, I need the angels." He orders in his deep, manly voice.

"They have names, you know." Roy glares at him.

"Fine. Pit and Kuro need to come with me, now. They need to be given to me, so they can be sent back to the Sky where they belong." He reaches down and picks up Kuro.

My twin yelps in shock and quickly clings to Roy.

"Don't let him take me away!" Kuro begs as he holds tightly to Roy's muscled torso.

"I'm sorry Kuro, but please let go. You have to go." Roy gently takes Kuro's arms out from around him.

I whimper and press my cheek to his again. He leans his head against mine, then moves away. I watch him stand up, then look back down at me. I keep staring at him, my eyes wide in fear of going back to the Sky.

"Pit, please come with me." The man says as he starts walking towards his carriage.

I watch him go, wanting to follow him because he has Kuro, but I don't want to leave Roy. Roy is still staring down at me. I can tell his heart is just as broken as mine. I hop off the bench and go to run to Kuro, but stop. I turn back to the man who accepted me and Kuro for who we were. The one person who didn't judge us.

I run up to him and hug him. I feel him hug back. I look up at him again as I let go.

"I'll never forget you father. I love you." I hug him again, then turn and run to Kuro. "Kuro!" I call to my twin.

The man and Kuro both turn to me. I run up to them just as the man opens the door and sets Kuro down on the edge of the seat. He moves out of the way.

"Please, get in so we can go to the queen." He gestures into the carriage.

I hop up into it, turning back around to watch Roy. He's still watching us, tears streaming down his cheeks. The man closes the door, then climbs up onto the front to guide the two horses. I feel Kuro press to me. I look at him.

His eyes are half closed in misery. He is also watching Roy. I press closer to him for comfort as we both sit with our heads and arms out the window. I watch as Roy slowly waves good bye. The man whips one of the horses, and we start slowly heading down the road.

I watch, not wanting to leave, as we go down the road, and I can't see Roy anymore. Why is it, that when we finally get something good, we have to lose it? Not only are we being taken away from our parent, but we are being sent back to the sky.

I get back in the window and move to the small back window. I stare at the path that leads to Roy's home. Our home. The home we will never go back to. The father we will never see again. The farther away we get the harder it gets to see, making my heart twist.

I sit down from the window and cuddle up to Kuro. Once again, he's the only one I have. We have to go back to the horrible home where we were abused, where we were hated and unwanted. Here we were loved, and wanted. Roy was the perfect parent to us, and to lose him like this, it tears us both apart.

-Roy's P.O.V.-

I stare at where they were, where they were taken away from me for a stupid reason. I sigh as I stare down at the ground. I hear footsteps running towards me.

"Roy? Roy, is that you?" I hear.

I look up and see the familiar teal hair and tall figure of Ephriam. I look back down as he comes up. He stands next to me, panting from his running. After a minute, he catches his breath.

"Roy… I heard about your boys. Come on, I'm a prince, I can get them back for you." He pants.

I whip around to him.

"What?" I feel my spirits rise quickly.

Will Ephriam really help me get them back? He turns and whistles. His horse comes running up to him, and he climbs up onto the white stallion.

"Go get your horse. We have angels to save." Ephriam turns his horse and walks it over to the edge of the road. "Hurry and go! We have to get there before they do!" He urges.

I whip around a dash towards my house. I run up the gravel road and straight to my house. I see Marth outside feeding his black mare. I run up to him. I quickly saddle my horse, then mount him.

"Umm, Roy, where are you going in such a hurry?" He asks as he keeps hand feeding his horse.

"I'm getting my children back." I huff as I walk the horse out of the stable.

"Wait! I'm coming too! I could help, I'm a prince, I can help enforce you rights!" Marth quickly hops up onto his horse, not even bothering putting on his saddle, as I know he's good with riding bare back.

"This was Ephriam's idea. He's going too." I inform him as I whip the reigns, making my horse break into a run down the dirt road.

Marth comes up next to me on his horse, sitting slightly above it, holding onto its long mane, which he spends a long time brushing.

"You're going with two princes. I can tell your chances of getting those two back are high. I'm happy to see you so inclined to get them back." Marth calls to me, his voice raised slightly.

"They are my kids, and I will fight for them no matter what." I growl as we run into town.

I see Ephriam waiting where he was when I left. I watch as he turns his horse and runs down the road. We catch up to him quickly.

"I see you brought Marth along. Good idea. The more you have on your side, the better." Ephriam keeps staring ahead.

None of us know which way they took, but we follow where ever Ephriam goes. Not long after heading out of town, we see the castle ahead of us. We run to the gates, but are stopped by the guards.

"What business do you have with the queen?" One of the guards questions.

"It is I, crown prince Ephriam, accompanied by Prince Marth Lowell and General Roy. We demand access in to speak with the queen on important matters." Ephriam sits up tall on his horse as he stares down at the guard.

He opens the gate, then stands back.

"Permission granted your majesty." He bows to Ephriam and Marth, letting them in.

I follow the two royalty into the court yard, where they dismount their horses and start on their way into the castle. I quickly dismount, then follow them. We get into the throne room, where I see the man who took my children, and Pit and Kuro. They are cuddled up to each other, still in tears. I feel my heart jump.

"Oh, Crown prince Ephriam, it is good to see you again. Oh goodness, you have brought prince Marth!" The queen Elincia smiles kindly.

As Pit and Kuro hear Marth's name, then shoot up right and whip around. Pit's jaw drops as he sees Marth and Ephriam, while Kuro's crimson eyes just get wide. They stay where they are, watching Marth walk up to them.

"What brings you here prince Ephriam?" She asks.

"We are here," He looks down at my angels. "To bring these two to their rightful parent." Pit and Kuro's eyes light up in hope and excitement.

"No, I am sorry, but these two don't belong here. They belong in Heaven. Their rightful parent is there." She bows her head.

"No, these two belong here, under the loving care of this man right here." Ephriam and Marth both take a step back, stepping back behind me.

Pit and Kuro see me, and leap up. They both jump on me, knocking me over. They both rub their cheeks on mine, laying on me and crying tears of pure joy. I hug them both, letting them rub their cheeks on mine.

"Look, your majesty, these boys want to be with him. They love him, and he loves them. You can't send them back. You don't know what they went through." Ephriam reasons.

"What have they gone through for them to be better off down here with General Roy instead of in Heaven with their family?" Elincia asks as she leans back in her throne.

"You see, your majesty, they had been disowned by their original birth parents, then left in an orphanage for six years. They were then adopted by parents who physically abused them. The only way they were allowed to leave was if they came here, to the Surface World, as the angels call it. There, Roy found them lost in the woods, hiding in cave freezing to death. He rescued them, and since then has been taking care of them as if they were his own real kids." Marth explains.

She looks thoughtful, the lets out a sigh.

"How long have the angels been in your care, General Roy?" She asks me.

I hold them both to my chest as I sit up.

"Only for one month, but I love them as if they've always been with me." I admit.

I feel them both press their cheeks to mine, Kuro happily purring and Pit holding me so tight I can barely breathe.

"Well, I can tell that the angels clearly love you. If what I have been told is true, I will consider giving you full custody, but for now, the angels will stay here with me." Pit and Kuro both glare at her, then hold me tighter.

I hold them both tighter, trying to calm them.

"Father, please, take us back home. I don't like it here. I want to go back home." Kuro whimpers.

"What did the black haired one just say?" The queen asks curiously.

I look up at her sternly.

"He wants to go home, back to our home." I tell her, my voice loud.

"I see." She looks down at the ground again.

I don't care about what she thinks right now. These are my boys, and I love them as if they were my children from the beginning. I lean down and kiss Kuro's forehead, making him smile and hug me tighter. I press my cheek closer to Pit's making him wrap his arms tightly around my neck.

"General Roy, please, stand and come forth." The queen rises from her throne and comes to the edge of the steps in front of her throne.

I give them both a reassuring look. They both get off me, and I stand up. I go over in front of her. I kneel respectfully, bowing my head.

"General Roy, I grant you the right to keep these two young angels under your care. I grant you full custody of them, also meaning that you are taking full responsibility for their safety." Elincia declares.

I feel my heartbeat sky rocket. I'm getting my angels back! I can't help but smile as I stay in my bowed position, trying to keep my cool.

"You may now rise." She turns back to her throne.

I stand back up, my eyes wide and my breathing shallow and quick. She smiles to see how happy I am. I turn back to Pit and Kuro, but stay where I am. They look just as excited as me. Pit can barely keep calm as he jumps up for where he was and leaps across the hall. He lands on me, almost knocking me over again.

I quickly wrap my arms around him, holding him tightly. I feel him press his face into my neck. Kuro comes up slowly, tears in his eyes. I lean down and scoop Kuro up too, also cradling him to my chest. He lays over my shoulder, pressing the side of his head to mine.

"I can tell you will continue to take excellent care of them. The only thing I am worried about is what Ike will think when he returns from the war. Will he allow you to keep caring for them? It is much to my understanding that he does not like children." The queen inquires.

"I'm sure I can get him to let them stay." I ensure her.

"Okay. If not, bring them back to me, and I will find a home for them. For now, you are free to go." She says.

I turn around to Marth and Ephriam. Marth smiles as Ephriam dips his head to the queen. I start making my way out of the palace.

"Roy. I expect to see them here on their tenth birthday. I am not taking them back, I am just having them assessed, and checking how your teaching has paid off." Elincia calls to me as I walk out of the castle.

I don't really care what she has to say. At least I have them back, and they don't have to return to the Sky. I walk out of the palace and over to my horse. Ephriam and Marth walk up behind me and get on their horses. I put Pit up on the saddle, and go to put Kuro up with his brother, but he won't let go of me.

"Do you want me to just carry you?" I ask as snow starts falling again.

"Yes." He replies while burring his face into my shoulder.

I wrap one arm around him to help keep him up. I grab the reins on my horse to lead it as we go. Ephriam and Marth walk up ahead of me and head out the gate. I follow them, leading the horse next to me.

"So what do you think Ike will say when he sees that you adopted children?" Marth asks as he slows his horse to ride next to me.

"I have no idea. He'll probably be mad at me, but I'm not willing to give them up again. I love Ike, everyone knows I do, but I can't stand to put them through that again." I reply.

"Wisely said. Though no matter how wise it may be, you know you could possibly lose Ike over this, right?" Marth points out.

"Yes, I know. I don't want to lose him, but if that is what this must come down to for my children's safety, then that is what I will do." I say calmly, even though I don't know what I'd do if I lost Ike.

I love him more than anything, and if I lost him, I wouldn't know what I'd do. When Ike and I would get in fight, I'd never say or do anything in fear that I might make him so angry he'll leave me. He's almost always really stressed out, so getting into a fight with him is easy.

He's not supposed to be back for a couple more months, so I can plan what I can use as an excuse to keep them. I don't even need an excuse. What they've been through is reason enough to keep them. I know Ike doesn't like children, but he also knows how much I've always wanted kids. He also knows how much I hate seeing people left out on their own.

"Don't worry about what Ike might have to say. These are your children, you have full custody of them, and there is nothing Ike can do about it. Yes, he might leave you, but at least you will still have your children." Ephriam calls back to me.

"I wouldn't have gotten them back if it wasn't for the help from you two." I look down at Kuro's back, who is still draped partially over my shoulder.

He hasn't said anything or moved, so I have no idea if he is asleep or not. I look up at Pit. He's softly petting the horse's neck, his eyes half closed. He's probably tired. We walk into town, when I hear Pit say something extremely quietly.

I look up at him curiously. "What?"

"Huh?" He looks down at me. "Oh, nothing. I was just talking to myself." He looks back to where he was staring.

We make it to the road that leads back to the house, when we stop. Ephriam turns around to us.

"Well, my business here is concluded. I shall return to my kingdom, and I will send word to you via mail. Let me know how everything goes with them." He turns his horse back in the direction towards town.

"Alright, we will. Thank you Ephriam." I dip my head respectfully, just as Marth does.

"There is no need to thank me. I am just helping my friend, after all. It is of my pleasure to do whatever it takes for those two to have a good, loving home, and I believe that with you is the best place they can be." He smiles to me, then starts slowly walking back into town.

I watch him go, then turn to Marth. I watch as he stretches. I've always thought Marth was beautiful, but never had any other interest in him. He leans back a little and looks up at the sky. It's night, and snowing, so I don't know what interest he has in staring at the sky.

I ignore him and start walking up the road. Once we get to the house, I turn to Pit to get him down, but he hops off the horse before I can even reach up to grab him. I smile as I look down at him. He looks kind of uncomfortable. I lead the horse back into the stable, leaving it open for Marth to bring his horse in.

He walks up behind me on his horse. I look back to him as Pit comes over to me. He wraps his arms around one of my legs and sits down on the snowy ground.

"I'm going into the woods for a little while. I'll be back soon." Marth smiles, then turns his horse and heads into the forest.

I close the stable, then reach down. I pick up Pit, and go into the house. I set Pit down on the couch, then carefully take Kuro off my shoulder. He is asleep, so I lay him down on the couch, up against his brother. I watch as Pit wraps his arms around his brother and holds him closer. I kneel in front of them.

Pit looks up from his red eyed brother, and stops dead. His face loses all color as he stares at something behind me. I quickly stand up and whip around. Just as I turn around, I'm swept off me feet and cradled to its chest. I look up in fear, but my heart skips a beat as I see the familiar blue needles of hair sticking down, and in every other direction, in front of his face.

"Ike?" I choke out.

He quickly presses his lips to mine, and I waste no time in kissing back. My heart is racing in happiness. Not only is Ike back months early, but he's not hurt! He pulls away to breathe, then kisses me again. I reach up and entwine my fingers in his hair like I always do. I feel his hand on the back of my head.

He pulls away again. He softly puts me down, but I turn back to him.

"Ike, you're back so early! What happened? Did you get hurt? Are you okay?" I barrage him with questions.

He takes a step forward and holds my waist with one hand. He pulls me a little closer, then puts his free hand on the side of my neck. I put my hands on his shoulders, staring up at him wide eyed.

"We won the war a lot faster than I thought we would. No one was seriously injured either. I came home as soon as I could. I'm so happy to see that you too are okay." He smiles down at me, his eyes lovingly narrowed.

"I love you Ike." I move forward and hug him tight, loving the feel as he hugs back.

He presses his nose into my neck he always does, then kisses just below my ear.

"I love you too Roy." He whispers as he lets his hands slip down my side to hold my waist.

I bury my face into his shoulder and take a deep breath. His musky cinnamon like scent clouds my thoughts. The only thing I can think of is that Ike is back. He pulls away and goes back to holding me the way he was before I hugged him.

"So, I hate to break our little reunion, who are they?" Ike looks over at Pit and Kuro.

"Umm. Yeah, so this is what I was worried about." I mumble to myself.

I pull away from him and go sit down next to Pit. The small angel has his arms wrapped tightly around Kuro, who is still asleep. I know he's protecting his brother, but he should know Ike won't hurt either of them. I put my hand gently on Pit's shoulder.

"This is Pit," I look over at Kuro. "And he's Kuro. They're brothers. I've been taking care of them for the last month." I explain.

His facial expression doesn't change. "So… How long do you plan on keeping them and taking care of them?"

"Well, that's what I want to talk to you about. The queen just tried to take them away because they're angels, but Marth and Ephriam convinced her not to. She has granted me full custody over them, and I want to keep taking care of them until they're old enough to leave and live on their own." I give him an honest look.

"In other words, you're asking if, since I'm here now, and you know I don't like children, if you can continue caring for them. How'd you even come to get into possession of baby angels?" Ike asks, his expression still staying the same.

I explain everything to him, not leaving out a single detail. Once I finish, he looks down at the ground thoughtfully.

"Ike, they're really good kids, and for your sake, they're really quiet. Please, don't make them go back to what they had before." I beg him, knowing he's thinking about saying no more than he is saying yes.

"I understand how much they must mean to you, and I know how much you've always wanted to have kids, but I don't think this is a good idea." Ike gives me an understanding look.

"So, I'm guessing that means no?" I ask as I look at Pit.

He looks scared and he cuddles a little closer to me. I put my arm around him as he presses himself to my side. Ike doesn't say anything else. Kuro is still asleep, so he has no idea what's going on. Pit wraps his arms around me and starts crying again.

"Do you really have to get rid of us again father? I don't want to leave!" I know Ike hears him cry.

"I'm sorry Honey." I lean my head against his, though I know it's doing nothing to comfort him.

"Roy, please, doing that will just make it harder on them and you." I hear Ike tell me quietly.

I look over at him, feeling sadness and anger welling up inside. He takes a step forward, but I lean my head back against Pit's. He kneels in front of me and puts his hand on my knee. Pit looks at him, and their eyes meet. They sit and stare at each other.

"Why don't you like us? We've never done anything wrong, we just met." Pit asks him.

Oh, Pit, don't make him angry! I think as I watch Ike look down, then back up to the small, brown haired angel.

"It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I don't like children in general. I think they're annoying." Ike answers honestly.

"Well you were a child once. Did you annoy yourself? It would be rather hypocritical if you didn't." Pit narrows his eyes at Ike.

"Pit, be nice." I tell him before Ike can reply.

"No, he's got a good point. No, I didn't annoy myself. So, in that case, I guess I am a hypocrite. So, yes you can stay, even though I don't like kids and I already said no." Ike stands up again.

I feel my heart stop. Did Ike really just say they can stay? I look up at him. He smiles, then walks back towards our room. I let go of Pit and quickly stand up. I follow him into our room, and close the door behind us.

"Ike? Wait, they can really stay?" I run around in front of him so he's looking at me.

"Yeah. Why? Do you not want them anymore? We can still get rid of them if you want." Ike shrugs.

"No, no, of course I still want them, but you don't like kids. Why did you say yes? What did they do to you?" I reach forward and grab his arms softly.

"No one did anything to me except try to kill me. So if that's what you talking about, I would have changed a long time ago. No, I just love you, you've found kids that love you, and found kids that you love, and I can tell how much it would have torn you apart." He grabs my waist and pulls me closer to him.

"Thank you Ike. Thank you so much." I pull him into a tight embrace, rubbing my cheek on his shoulder softly.

"Don't worry about it Hun. I love you." He kisses the top of my head as he massages my sides.

"Umm, I need to go put them to bed, I'll be right back." I pull away a little.

He lets me go, smiling happily. I smile back, then walk over to the door. I open it and see Pit trying to drag Kuro down the hall towards their room. I watch him pull, with great effort, his brother slowly down the hall. I walk over to them. Pit jumps in shock, then looks up at me.

"Pit, Honey, what are you doing?" I ask as I take a knee next to him.

"Umm. Bringing brother Kuro to our room." He answers as he starts pulling Kuro again.

I reach forward and pick up Kuro. I hear Pit sigh in relief. We walk into their room, and I lay Kuro down on the bed. Pit tries to climb up onto the bed, having a difficult time with it. I reach over and give him a little boost up onto the bed.

He goes over to Kuro. He sits back and looks up at me happily. I sit on the edge of the bed. He tips his head to the side as he smiles. I reach over and take his hand. His smile fades as he moves a little closer to me.

"Do we still have to go?" Pit asks quietly.

"No. You're staying for good. I will always be here to take care of you and love you." I pull him up into my lap and softly stroke the back of his head.

His brown hair is soft under my hand. He smiles in pure joy as I tell him that.

"You don't ever have to worry about getting a new home, with new parents. This is your permanent home. So, I know your first meeting was a bit rough, but you know Ike is your other father, right? He's really nice once you get past his hard shell." I tell him as he hugs me.

"We have two fathers. Well, I guess it doesn't really matter, after all, if I ever had any children, they'd have two fathers as well." Pit sounds thoughtful as he rubs his head on my chest.

"Yeah, it's okay though. Well, good night Pit." I lift him and lay him down next to his brother. "Remember that I'll be in the room at the end of the hall, and that I'm not leaving." I lie down next to him and brush his hair out of his face.

I keep my hand holding his hair back. I lean down and press my cheek to his. I hear him giggle a little.

"And that I love you. If you hear the front door opening, it's just Marth coming back inside. Okay, good night, and again, I love you." I kiss his forehead.

I get off the bed and go around to the other side. I lean down towards Kuro and push his soft black hair out of his face. I also kiss his forehead, then sit up again.

"And I love you Kuro," I fix his hair before I sit up all the way.

I walk over to the door and reach up to the light switch. I look back to Pit and Kuro. I watch as Pit cuddles up to his brother. He looks back to me.

"I love you father." He smiles, then lays back down.

I watch for a second longer, then turn the lights out. I close the door quietly. I look over to my room. I walk back into our room. I see Ike stripping his shirt. I feel myself get hot as he turns around. His large, muscled body is littered with long, red scars.

I walk up to him and put my hands on his sides. He looks down at me sensually. He reaches up and holds onto the collar of my shirt.

"You need to take this off." He starts undoing my shirt and slowly slipping it off. "Oh, and this." He chuckles as he puts his hands on my waist.

I feel him start slipping my pants off me, but I grab his hands to stop him. He looks at me confusedly. I pull my pants back up and sit on the edge of the bed. Ike sits down next to me, but not to close. I think he thinks I'm angry with him.

"Ike, why is it every time you come home, you always want to have sex with me? Why don't you ever just want to be with me because you're happy to see me again? You know I'm happy to see you." I look over at him questioningly.

"It's not that I only want to have sex with you and you know it." Ike moves closer to me and wraps his arms kindly around my stomach. "I just miss you so much when I'm away, and I want to spend time with you, where it's just me and you, and the only thing on our minds is each other. And how I'm holding you, and kissing you. I love you and want to make you feel amazing pleasure. I know you think I just want you for pleasure, but that's wrong. I want you because I want to make you feel that indescribable pleasure someone feels when they are truly in love."

"Ike, admit it. You only do it because you haven't in a while. You can't use your little tricks on me anymore. I know all of them. I know you love me, but to me it seems as if you are only doing it because you're randomly horny, and don't want to cheat on me, isn't it?" I narrow my eyes at him.

"So what I'm horny, it's not like I purposely get horny as soon as I get home just to have sex with you. I do it because I love you, and after being away for so long, I've missed you so much my heart aches and I just want to prove how much I still love you." Ike presses his forehead to the side of my head.

I stare at the ground. Finally, I turn and lift his head with a finger. I press our foreheads together, smiling happily.

"I'm sorry I thought that. I know you love me, and I know you're just doing it because of how much you miss me." I apologize quietly.

"Don't worry; I understand why you feel that way. I also understand that you're stressed out over the angels, but come on," He pulls away and pushes me over onto the bed gently. "Lay down, I'll give you a massage just how I know you like it, and get some rest. Everything will be better in the morning."

I look back at him, then give in. I've always loved getting massages from him. He's so good at doing it, and it feels amazing. Not to mention the sweet things he tells me and the soft kisses he leaves down my spine.

I lift myself up, and then lay down in the middle of the bed comfortably on my stomach. I feel Ike slip up on top of me. I cross my arms under my chin, rest my head on them and close my eyes. He starts massaging my shoulders, while he leans down and kisses my ear.

-Pit's P.O.V.-

"Kuro? Kuro, wake up. Come on! Kuro, get up!" I climb up onto him and shake him violently.

"Okay, okay! I'm up!" I stop shaking Kuro as I hear him yell at me.

I quickly get off him. He sits up, holding his head wearily. He glares at me viciously.

"What the hell do you think you're doing waking me up like that? What do you want?" Kuro snaps.

"I heard something, and I want to go check it out. Come on, get up and get dressed! Let's go!" I hop out of bed and dig through the drawers to find warm clothing.

I put on a pair of dark blue sweat pants and a thick, black snow coat. I put on my snow boots and turn to Kuro. He's watching me like I'm crazy.

"Get up! I can't go alone!" I demand as I go back over to him.

I grab his hand and try to pull him off the bed.

"No, Pit, we aren't allowed out of the house at night!" Kuro denies.

"We can be out there, Marth is outside. Come on!" I let go and start gathering his clothes.

I look back as I hear him groan. I toss his clothes at him, and he catches them with his face. He falls over onto the bed, glaring at me.

"Get dressed! I'm gonna go check if father Roy is asleep." I run over to the door and silently open it.

I sneak quietly down the hall to their room. The door is barely ajar. I walk over and silently push it open slightly. I look into the room. Only two candles are lit, but I can see Ike, sitting on top of Roy, slowly massaging his back and sides. Roy is smiling happily. Ike leans down and kisses his cheek.

"I love you." I hear Ike whisper.

I take a step back and close the door quietly. I turn around and see Kuro standing in the doorway to our room, completely dressed. I walk past him and out into the living room.

"Come on, Marth is outside, and father and Ike are… busy. So, come on, let's go!" I hop over the living room floor, and straight to the front door.

Kuro comes up behind me. I open the front door, look around, then go outside. Kuro follows me out, closing the door silently behind him.

"So, where are we going Pit?" Kuro comes up to me.

"I heard someone singing, and it woke me up. It was so beautiful; I have to see what is singing so beautifully." I start walking behind the house, trying to figure out where it was coming from.

"Singing? Are you serious Pit? You woke me up because you heard someone singing? Dam it Pit, why can't you just ignore that crap?" I hear Kuro growl as we walk into the woods.

The beautiful voice starts singing again, and I break into a run. Kuro follows close behind. We start running straight towards a hill. We run up it, and stop. I see someone standing at the edge of a cliff, staring up at the crescent moon. It is obviously that person that's singing.

I sneak up behind it, still unable to identify who it is. I get right up behind it. It's singing in a different language, but it is amazing. I reach up cautiously. I put my hand softly on its lower back. I lower my head slightly as it turns its head and looks straight at me.

"Oh, hello Pit. Shouldn't you be in bed, asleep? You know you aren't allowed out of the house alone, especially not at night." Marth turns around all the way and smiles kindly down at me.

"But I'm not alone. Kuro came with me!" I point over at my twin, who's sitting on a rock, slumped over yawning and trying to keep himself awake.

"He doesn't look to awake, Honey. So, why did you sneak out of the house so late?" Marth reaches down and picks me up.

He holds me against his side, and I put one hand on his shoulder. He smiles, then turns back to the way he was facing. I look over the cliff. The crescent moon is barely shedding silver light over the snowy forest. It's truly beautiful, just as Marth's voice when he's singing. Just as Marth in general.

"I heard you singing. Well, I didn't know it was you then, but I know now. Ike is back, so Roy and him are 'catching up' in a very awkward way. Ike says we can stay too. But how can you sing so beautifully?" I ask as I look back to him.

"I don't know. No one has ever commented on how my voice sounds before. I don't sing in public. Only out here, to the moon." He looks back to the moon.

"Why?" I lay my head on his shoulder.

"Ummm… Well, the moon can't judge you." Marth looks at me through the corner of his eyes.

"Oh. Marth, how come you are always so calm? And the way you look at father is strange." I sigh, as now I want to go back home and go to sleep.

"I don't have an answer for that either. I always thought I looked at everyone the same. And I'm calm because I have no reason to be troubled. I stay away from any sort of conflict, and so should you." He keeps staring at the moon with a blank expression.

"Okay. I don't really like fighting anyway. So, Marth, are you going home soon?" I ask in a yawn.

"I don't want to get in trouble with Roy, so I'll bring you both home." Marth turns around and walks over to the rock that Kuro is asleep on.

The prince chuckles as he sees that Kuro is asleep. He leans down and softly nudges Kuro's arm. My twin looks up quickly. Marth smiles, then helps him sit up.

"Come on, I'm bringing you two home." Marth tells him quietly.

Kuro stands up and starts walking.

"I could carry you if you want Honey." Marth offers.

"No, no, I'm fine." Kuro almost trips as he keeps walking.

"Okay. Just say something if you want me to carry you." Marth looks over at me, who he's still carrying.

"Don't worry. He's just stubborn. He doesn't like getting help." I tell him as I lay my head on his shoulder again.

"I can tell. Well, I'll get you two home, tuck you into bed, and then go to sleep myself. Stay in the house from now on at night. Especially if you hear something outside that you don't know what it is." Marth leans his head against mine as we keep walking.

I close my eyes, listening to Marth quietly hum a slow, sad sounding song. I wrap my arms around his shoulders. I hear the front door open, and the air is significantly warmer. I hear someone run out into the living room.

"Ahh!" I hear Kuro yelp.

I quickly open my eyes and sit up. I see father holding Kuro tight, his face buried in my brother's shoulder. He looks up and comes running up to me and Marth. He quickly takes me from Marth and cradles me to his chest. He hugs me just as tight as he did Kuro.

"I'm so glad you're okay! What were you thinking? You know you aren't allowed outside alone! You are so lucky Marth found you!" Roy hugs both of us again, his bright, blue eyes filled with relief.

"Umm, actually father, we found Marth. He was out in the woods, on a cliff. He woke me up because he was singing, and I didn't know what it was, so I woke up Kuro and went to go find what it was. Marth already yelled at us about sneaking out at night." I lower my head in shame.

"Good! You can't go out into the woods alone! I know you know how dangerous it is! Don't ever do that again!" Roy presses his cheek to mine, and tightens his arm around Kuro's stomach. "I'm sorry I'm yelling at you, but you worried me sick!"

Me and Kuro both wrap our arms around him. We both cuddle closer to him, trying to show that we are sorry and that we'll never do it again. Marth comes up to him, and takes me from him. I open my eyes and look up. Roy looks completely shocked.

"I already promised to put him to bed." Marth walks past Roy and takes me into my room.

He carefully sets me down on the bed, and Kuro is placed right next to me. Roy stands back next to Marth. Just staring at them like this, I think they would make an adorable couple. Much better than father and Ike, that's for sure. I already look at Marth as my father as well, so why can't he be our other father? I don't like Ike; he wants to get rid of us!

"Father, I think you and Marth would be so cute together." I admit as I stare at both of them.

Both of their faces get bright red. Marth looks at Roy, while the ginger looks away completely.

"That's very kind Honey, but I love someone else, and so does your father." Marth forces out as he closes his eyes and puts his hand on the back of his head.

"You do? Who do you love?" I ask.

"Huh?" He opens his eyes up again. "N-no one. Forget I said that."

"You need to be getting back to bed Pit. Now lay down, and go back to sleep." Roy leans forward and gently pulls me back up so my head is resting on the pillows.

Kuro lifts his head and looks at Roy, then wearily lifts himself up. He crawls over the bed to me, plopping down up against me. I look over at him as he cuddles up to me more, draping his arm over my stomach.

"Kuro." Roy calls to my twin.

Kuro opens his eyes tiredly and looks at father.

"You better make sure he stays in bed until the morning unless he's going to the bathroom. You need to stay here; it's dangerous to go outside alone at night." He sits on the edge of the bed.

"Okay." Kuro replies in a yawn.

"I do love you two, but I'm just worried about you. I'm serious; you two drive me crazy with worry." He leans down and cups my face in his hands.

I give him an apologetic look, trying to maintain eye contact, but he keeps looking over at Kuro. Finally he looks back to me. Our blue eyes meet, and he leans down closer to me. I feel our foreheads press together softly.

"I'm sorry father." I whisper.

"It's okay, just don't do it again. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost you two." His voice is just as quiet as mine.

"Do I have to sleep in here tonight?" I ask.

"Well, you can't sleep with me; Ike would get angry with both of us. I'm sorry." He kisses my nose softly.

"Can I sleep with Marth?" I look over at the prince.

He smiles kindly.

"Only if he'll let you." Roy laughs quietly.

I give him a pleading look.

"You really want to leave your brother in here to sleep alone?" Marth giggles as he comes over.

"Well, he'll be fine." I glance at Kuro, then back to Marth.

"I guess you can, but I have to take a shower, so can you wait a little?" Marth asks.

"Yes! How long will you be?" I agree quickly.

"Not as long as your father, that's for sure." He gives Roy a devious look.

"Hey, long showers are great. Unless a certain prince turns on the hot water to make you get out." They play glare at each other.

"Well, I'm gonna go take a shower now. I'll come get you in a couple minutes, okay Pit?" Marth turns to the door.

"Okay!" I smile.

Marth leaves, going into his room. He closes the door behind him. I look back to father Roy. He presses our foreheads closer together.

"Father?" I reach up and put my hands on his shoulders.

"Yes?" He smiles kindly.

"I love you." I lift my head slightly and kiss his forehead how he always does to me.

His eyes get wide, but he soon smiles. He wraps his arms around me, and lifts me up. He sits back with me in his arms. I look up at him, my eyes wide in happiness. He leans down, smiling, and nuzzles my cheek. He hears my giggling, and keeps doing it.

I love having a father that I hold so dear. He loves us so much; I've never had a better feeling around a parent before. Every parent that had come in to adopt a child, always, sometimes literally, would laugh at us and actually ask the lady if she's serious that we were the ones she picked for them to adopt. Roy didn't even have to decide if he wanted to care for us. It was an immediate decision that all three of us agreed on.

I push lightly on his chest, still giggling. He lifts his head and kisses my cheek. He sits back again, smiling happily at me. I put my hand on his chest. He places his larger hand on mine.

"Father, do you think I'll get as big as you?" I ask as I look at his much bigger hand.

"I don't know. I've been alive a lot longer than you have, so you still have a long way to go before you get half the size of me. Even I'm bigger than an average human, so it's doubtful, but hey, you will get a lot bigger than this. You're so tiny!" He pokes my side teasingly.

I stifle a yelp as I grab his hand and push it away. Roy starts tickling me, making me start trying to stifle my laughing. Finally I can't keep it in, and I start laughing out loud. I push on his chest and arm, trying to get him to stop.

"Father! Come on, stop it!" I laugh as I push harder on his chest.

After a couple more minutes, he stops. I pant hard, trying to get my breath back. He smiles down at me, putting his hand on my cheek.

"I love you Pit." He leans down and kisses my cheek again.

"I love you too father." I press my cheek to his after he kisses me.

"Alright, I have to go back to my room now. We've got to go into town tomorrow, so we both need our sleep. Marth will come get you any minute now." He stands up and sets me back down on the bed. "Good night." He walks over to the door.

"Wait, father, why are we going into town? You don't have to… Get rid of us again, do you?" I ask in fear.

"Absolutely not. Ephriam wants you and your brother to meet his children. So, I thought I'd bring you two meet them. He has a boy and a girl. I think you'll like them." He looks back to me.

"Oh. Okay. Will Ike be going?" I sit back a little.

I don't really want Ike to go. I don't like him.

"I don't think so. I told him that's what I was doing, and he just shrugged. Do you not want him to go?" Roy turns around all the way.

I stare at him silently for a moment, then he comes back over to the bed. He reaches down to me, taking my hand into his own. He crouches in front of the bed. Holding my one hand with both of his, he looks me in the eye seriously.

"You can trust me with anything you have to say. If you don't like someone that's around, say something and I will do something about it, okay? Answer honestly. Do you not like Ike?" Roy asks quietly, as if he thinks Ike might hear.

"No I don't." I look away from him, afraid he'll be mad at me.

"Pit, look at me." He reaches up and turns my head back towards him.

I can't help but feel scared that he will hit me or yell at me.

"Why don't you like Ike? You think he's mean, huh?" He asks softly.

I nod my head yes, as I'm scared silent.

"He can be a little scary, but he won't hurt you. I will not let him. I will protect you both with my life if I have too." Roy tells me sternly.

"Promise?" I tip my head to the side, my eyes pleading.

"Yes, I promise." I watch him dip his head as he promises.

He stands up a little and hugs me tight. I hug back just as tight. He pulls away and stands up all the way. I look up at him, then turn and crawl up to the head board of the bed. Roy walks out of the room, stopping in the doorway.

"I love you. I'll see you in the morning. Good night." The blue eyed man smiles back at me.

"Good night! I love you too." I smile and wave good night.

He keeps smiling as he walks to his room. I get up and close the door, then turn the light off. He probably thought I was going to stay up until Marth came in and got me, but I have no reason to, so I'm going to lay down for a little before Marth finishes his shower.

I climb back up onto the bed. I cuddle up to Kuro, wrapping my arms around his stomach, and closing my eyes.

-After A Little While of Sleeping-

I hear something, and I don't feel Kuro against me anymore. I figure it's just Marth picking me up to bring me to his room, but when I'm not lifted off the bed, and I feel something on the mattress depress, I know it's not Marth. I open my eyes slightly.

I watch someone open Kuro's mouth, and slip something into his mouth. He starts massaging his throat, which I know makes people swallow. He's sitting on top of Kuro, who is now on his back with his arms and wings out. I try to move my arm to swing forward and hit whatever's on Kuro, but I can't seem to move my arms.

I make out spiky hair, and an extremely muscled figure. I know it's not Roy, and it's too big, and too shabby of hair to be Marth, even if his hair is wet. It must be Ike. I knew there was something about him that made me not trust him!

I keep watching him, unable to move. Ike reaches down and starts massaging Kuro's chest. Why is he doing that? What is he doing? He leans down towards Kuro, and softly presses his lips to my brother's. I watch in horror as he slowly slips his tongue into my brother's mouth.

How is Kuro not feeling this? That would have for sure woken him up! It must have been whatever it was that Ike made him swallow. It made him fall into a deep, practically insensible, sleep. Ike slowly tongues my unconscious brother while massaging his sides sexually. I hear the door open, and hear a shocked gasp.

I see Marth run over to the side of the bed Ike is on. Ike quickly gets up and pins Marth to the wall. He presses his large, muscled arm into the beautiful prince's throat. Marth frantically pushes on Ike, but the mercenary just presses his arm harder into his throat.

"If you say anything to Roy about what you just saw, I will slit your throat." Ike growls maliciously at Marth as he puts one finger on Marth's right shoulder, and slowly trails it diagonally down to his left hip. "We wouldn't want a repeat of last time, would we?"

Marth's eyes are wide in fear for both Kuro, and himself. Where is Roy? Hasn't he noticed that Ike is gone? Maybe he gave him the same thing that he gave to Kuro. Ike drops Marth on the ground and swiftly leaves the room, closing the door behind him.

Marth stares at the door in fear for a minute or so, then slowly stands up. I can tell he's having a hard time standing. He comes over and scoops Kuro up into his arms. I watch as he leaves the room, still carrying Kuro.

Why is he leaving me on my own? What if Ike comes back? Just as I'm about to burst into tears, I'm lifted off the bed. I look out the corner of my eyes and see Marth. He carries me into his room, laying me on the bed next to Kuro.

Marth's hair is wet, and sticking to his throat and jaw. I watch as he gets onto his bed and sits over Kuro. He reaches up and shakes him a little, but Kuro does nothing.

"Oh crap…" I hear Marth mumble to himself. "What did he do to you? Why won't you wake up?" I watch as Marth lifts Kuro, and takes him into the bathroom.

He sits on the edge of the bathtub. Confused, I watch as he opens Kuro's mouth and puts his finger in his mouth. After a couple seconds, Kuro coughs as Marth takes his finger out of his mouth. My twin coughs a couple more times, then vomits into the bathtub.

Marth softly rubs Kuro's back as he coughs more. After a minute of Kuro coughing, he spits out something. I hear it hit the bottom of the metal tub. Marth looks down at it. I watch as he lifts, Kuro, then brings him back into the room.

He sits him on the small loveseat against the wall. He goes back into the bathroom and picks up the thing Kuro had coughed up. I watch as he turns on the water, then moves over to the sink. He washes off the small object carefully.

He turns off the water, and looks down at it once it's clean. His eyes get wide and he quickly runs out of the bathroom to Kuro. Marth puts the object on the nightstand next to the loveseat, then sits in front of Kuro.

"Kuro? Kuro, can you hear me?" Marth gently tugs on my brother's hand.

Kuro looks up, his crimson eyes dull. Marth lunges forward and hugs Kuro tightly, softly petting the back of his head. Kuro closes his eyes again and lets himself go limp in Marth's arms.

"Kuro, are you okay?" Marth holds Kuro away from his chest to look at him.

"Mhm." Kuro's voice sounds hoarse and painful.

"Are you sure? Ike made you swallow hardened mercury. Even I know that's deadly poisonous to angels. Do you feel okay?" Marth presses the back of his hand to Kuro's forehead.

"Yeah, I'm… fine. I just have a little bit of a headache." Kuro leans forward and lays his head on Marth's chest.

"Yes, Honey, lie down and get some rest. You'll be fine in the morning." Marth whispers as he starts stroking the back of Kuro's head again.

Marth lifts him, then carries him slowly over to the bed. He carefully lays him down, pulling the blanket up to his shoulders. He softly caresses my brother's cheek, leans down and kisses his forehead. I cuddle up to Kuro, fear making my heartbeat go crazy. Did Ike really try to kill Kuro?

Marth leans over the bed and softly touches my arm. I look tiredly up at him. I can move now, and I figure whatever Ike did to me is wearing off.

"He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Marth whispers worriedly.

"I don't know what he did, but I couldn't move for a little while. I can move now, but I couldn't before." I tell him as I sit up a little.

"No, lay back down. You need to rest too." Marth gently lays me back down.

Just as he goes to get up, I reach up and grab the collar of his shirt. His eyes get wide as I quickly pull him down on top of me, then roll us over so I'm on top of him. His face is bright red. Much to his surprise, I quickly strip his shirt.

"Pit! Stop it! What are you doing?!" Marth snatches his shirt back from me and quickly covers his chest.

I grab his shirt and pull it away from him. Marth covers his chest, his face even more red than before. I push his hands off him chest. He has a long scar trailing from his right shoulder all the way down to the left side of his hip.

"Tell the truth. Ike did this, didn't he?" I run my fingertip along the length of the long scar.

"Yes, he did. He did it so I wouldn't tell Roy what he did." Marth looks away as tears come to his eyes.

"What did he do?" I put both my hands on his chest, even though his face is bright red.

"He raped me because Roy wouldn't have sex with him. I wouldn't either, because I didn't want to hurt Roy, that and I have no sexual interest in that disgusting brute. If Roy knew how much he whores around, he'd leave him in a heartbeat." Marth growls.

He realizes that he cursed in front of me, and his eyes get wide.

"Oh, I'm sorry I cursed in front of you." He lowers his head.

"He raped you?" I feel my heart skip a beat as I repeat it.

"Yes, and he forced me to promise not to tell Roy or he'd hurt me, but he hurt me anyway." Marth looks down at the long scar.

"How long ago? Why'd he try to kill and rape Kuro? Has he done anything like that to father before? How many other people has he done that to?" I ask, hoping he hasn't hurt my father.

"He's done what he did to me to Ephriam, the man with the green hair and the white horse that was with me and your father when we went to go get you back from the queen. He did it to Eliwood. He's Roy's father. And many others. I think he's hurt Roy. I hear them fighting all the time." Marth admits.

"Wait, he hurt our father's father? He didn't, rape, him did he?" I feel fear coming over me, making my body shake horribly.

I feel his soft hands on my sides. He lifts me up, rolling us over so he's atop me. He slips off me and lays down next to me. Kuro cuddles up to his back, groaning in pain. Marth and I both look at him. Marth brushes his hair out of his face, then looks back to me.

He lies down again, propping his head up with his arm. He puts one hand on my stomach as I look at him sadly.

"Let us not speak of that tonight. Your father does not even know what happened to his dearest Eliwood. Please, do not say a thing to Roy about what Ike has done to your brother. Or me, his father, or Ephriam. Ike will surely kill me." Marth pulls me closer to him.

I cuddle up to his chest, putting my hand on his side. I roll over onto my side, burying my face into his soft, bare chest. I stare at what I can see of his long, pink scar. I knew the bad feeling I had about Ike was true. He's a horrible person, and Roy doesn't even know. It was Ike who murdered Roy's father, and Roy has no idea that his beloved mercenary is his father's murderer.

"Okay. Promise you will tell me some day?" I look up at him as he wraps his arms around my stomach.

"I don't know. If the time comes that I feel it's right for you to know, then I will, but for now, the only thing that you should be thinking of is all the fun you're gonna have tomorrow with Kuro and Ephriam's children. Don't worry about Kuro, he'll be fine, and Roy is perfectly safe." Marth leans down and plants a soft, sweet kiss on the top of my head.

"Why do we have to go meet Ephriam's children? Just thinking about the fact that they're the children of a prince makes me think they're stuck up." I sigh.

"If I had children, do you think they would be stuck up? I am a prince too, you know." Marth smiles down at me.

"Well, you aren't stuck up. You're really calm, and quiet. I bet if you had kids they'd be just like you. Little mini Marths. That would be funny." I giggle a little.

He pulls me closer in a tight embrace, also laughing.

"Believe it or not, I wasn't that quiet when I was a kid. Only after I witnessed my parents' murder and my sisters kidnapping, did I become such a quiet person. My kingdom was taken over and destroyed. I've basically lost everything but your fa-… But someone very special to me." Marth starts softly petting the back of my head.

"Who's so special to you? You've mentioned her twice now." I curl slightly into a ball to be a little more comfortable.

"Oh, Honey, he's a man. It doesn't really matter. I can never have him. It is better if we do not talk about him." Marth curls up a little too, resting his chin on the top of my head.

"Sorry for calling him a girl. Why won't you tell me? I promise I won't ever tell anyone! Not even Kuro!" I beg him.

"Well, if you promise not to tell anyone. Especially not your father?" He looks down at me firmly.

"Okay! I promise I won't tell anyone! Not father or Kuro! It can be our secret!" I wrap my arms around him and hug him tight.

"Alright, alright. Remember, you can't tell anyone. It's our little secret." He leans down to my ear. "I… Your father is my special one. I am in love with your father."

I gasp loudly. I quickly pull away and sit up. I look at him. His face is as red as Kuro's eyes.

"You love-" Marth jumps up and covers my mouth.

"Pit, it wouldn't be our secret if you scream it out like that!" Marth whines.

"Sorry. I won't say a thing now." I apologize quietly.

Marth moves and lays down again. I lay on his chest, smiling happily. I wish it was Marth with my father instead of Ike. Ike is such a horrible man. I hope Ike gets what he deserves.

"I think that's so cute. You are a much better father than Ike is. You don't hurt people. Marth, until you become father's boyfriend, can I call you uncle Marth?" I ask as I stretch out on him.

"That makes me sound really old." Marth complains. "But I guess you can. I don't know how Roy and Ike will feel about that. I won't care though. I like it."

I feel his soft hands on my sides. He watches me as I close my eyes.

"The sun is rising, dear child. I fear that you will have to get up soon. You have a very long day ahead of you, so I suggest you get as much sleep as possible before your father comes to wake you and your brother." I hear such emotion and lust in his voice as he says 'your father'.

He must really love Roy. It probably tears him apart to know that Ike fights with Roy all the time. I let my arms softly fall off him, along with my legs. I start falling asleep quickly while listening to his heartbeat and soft humming. Marth always seems to be humming. He apparently really likes singing and humming.

"Marth?" I yawn quietly, my voice barely understandable from how tired I am.

I'm mumbling some words, and humming others.

"Yes dear?" Marth slightly tips his head to the side in interest.

"Will you sing for me? The pretty song you were singing in the woods earlier?" I open one eye to look at him.

Marth smiles, then starts softly and quietly singing the pretty song he sang in the woods on the cliff earlier. I smile as I lay my head back down with my eyes closed. I feel his indulgent fingertips gently stroking my spine. I fall asleep quickly.

-A Little While Later-

-Marth's P.O.V.-

There's a loud pounding on the door. Pit and Kuro both shoot up right, panting in being woken so suddenly and by such a loud noise.

"Hey Marth! Open the door, now!" I hear Ike shout from the other side of the door.

"The door is unlocked." I growl back.

The door is slammed open. Pit is so scared, he's shaking. I see Kuro sit up and put one hand reassuringly on Pit's shoulder. Ike comes into the room, followed by Roy. The ginger comes quickly over to me, glaring maliciously at me, then picks up Pit. I watch Pit struggle in his grip a little, then finally drop out of Roy's arms. He climbs back up onto my bed.

"What are you doing father?" Pit climbs over me, still shaking in fear.

He hides behind me, Kuro looming threateningly over him. Ike takes a step forward, and much to my horror, raises his arm and back hands Kuro. I gasp as Kuro tumbles off the bed. I hear Kuro whimper as Ike goes around the bed to where Kuro landed.

Roy and I both leap across the room. I shove Ike away from Kuro, while Roy scoops him up off the ground and cradles him to his chest. He hugs Kuro tightly as the small, black winged angel buries his red, bruised face into Roy's muscled chest.

"What the hell was that Ike?" I growl at him.

Ike sees that I'm not wearing a shirt, and that the scar is exposed, he slaps me in the face. I stay where I am, but my head snaps to the side. I hear a loud gasp.

"Ike! Don't hurt Marth!" Pit leaps off my bed and slips underneath me, in between me and Ike.

He jumps up, knocking me off Ike. Roy and I watch as Pit goes to smack Ike, but Ike grabs his hand and twists his arm behind his back. Pit yelps in pain. Roy quickly hands me Kuro, and I take him carefully, holding him to my chest.

The ginger I am so in love with quickly takes Pit from Ike. The enraged mercenary leaps up and swings forward, but Roy ducks. Ike realizes that he was going to hit Roy, and stops everything. His dark blue eyes get wide.

"R-Roy…" Ike forces out as he reaches his hand out.

"No! Stay away from me! You hurt my precious angels," Roy tightens his grip on Pit. "We are done. I'm leaving."

Roy turns around, looks at me, then walks out of the room. I quickly scramble up with Kuro and follow him. He goes into Pit and Kuro's room. I also go inside. Roy turns around and closes the door, making sure to lock it.

"Roy, where will you go with them? You have nowhere else to go!" I walk up to him as he sits on the edge of the bed, still holding Pit to his chest.

"I don't know, but definitely not here. I knew I should have done something when Pit told me he didn't like Ike. Is Kuro okay?" Roy looks over at Kuro.

I stare down at the small angel crying angel in my arms. Kuro looks up at me, placing his tiny hand on my chest.

"Thank you for saving me last night Marth. Oh! Is Pit okay?" Kuro squirms in my grip to turn and look at his brother.

"What does he mean that you saved him last night?" Roy looks more scared than he did before.

I go over and sit next to him. I hold Kuro out to him. Even though he's holding Pit, he takes Kuro. Both of the small angels curl up in his lap, both silently crying. The blue eyed man strokes the back of both his angel's heads.

"When I came in here to get Pit to bring him into my room, Ike was in here, and he was on top of Kuro. He made him swallow a chunk of hardened mercury. He was…" I stop, not wanting to say out loud, 'your beloved boyfriend was trying to kill your son while tonguing him'.

"Father, he raped Kuro." Pit looks up, fear bright in his eyes.

Roy doesn't say anything; he just stares down at the ground, his expression blank.

"Roy, there's something I need to tell you." I reach over and put my hand on his knee. He looks up at me. "About a year and a half ago, Ike raped me, which is where I got this scar from." I sit back so he can see the scar running from my right shoulder all the way down to my left hip.

"Ike did that?" Roy mumbles to himself. "How many other people has he hurt? Or was it just you and Kuro?"

"No. He has raped Ephriam, and he was also the one who murdered your father." I stop as his eyes get wide and teary.

I reach forward and put my hand on the side of his neck caringly. Pit and Kuro both cuddle closer to him, trying to help comfort him.

"They aren't the only ones he's done that too. The reason Ephriam's son has blue hair instead of green like his mother and father's, is because Ike had sex with their mother. Your childhood friend Hector was also killed by him because Ike knew he was in love with you." I explain to him.

"Why didn't you ever warn me? I would have left immediately! I don't want them to be raised around such a disgusting person!" Roy quickly stands up.

"I never told you because Ike threatened to kill me if I did." I tell him.

"We need to leave. I will not allow him to hurt my children, or you, anymore." Roy looks back to me.

I feel my heart flutter as our eyes meet. He looks so determined, but heartbroken at the same time. I know how hard it is to have so many people close to you hurt or murdered, but when it's done by the love of his life, it must be a million times worse.

Roy comes over to me and lets Pit slip out of his arms and onto my lap. He hands me Kuro, and I take him carefully. The side of his face that Ike hit is already bruised. I softly stroke his other cheek with the back of my hand. Pit and Kuro both stare up at me worriedly.

"Please get them ready to leave. I will be right back." The handsome ginger growls.

He turns to the door and opens it. Ike is standing outside the door, tears in his eyes. Roy shoves him out of the doorway, closing the door behind him. Pit and Kuro look terrified that Roy is out there alone with Ike. I hug them both, then set them down carefully.

"Don't worry. He'll be fine. Come on, let's get your clothes all packed up." I ruffle Pit's hair, and kiss Kuro's forehead.

-Roy's, That Sexy Ginger, P.O.V.-

"What is wrong with you?" I shove him up against the door to Marth's room.

"What are you talking about?" Ike snaps back.

"Don't play stupid! You murdered my father! Not to mention all the other people you murdered and raped! You tried to kill my son! What the Hell do you have against them?" He goes to walk around me, but I slam him up against the door again.

"How do you even know about that?!" Ike's eyes get wide in terror.

"Really? That's what you're worried about when I'm standing right in front of you asking why you tried to murder and rape my son?" I put my hand on his chest to keep him against the door.

"Get off me!" Ike roughly shoves me off him, but I stay on my feet.

"Just answer me!" I follow him into his room, not caring that I'm pissing him off.

"You know why I tried to kill him? Because I hate children! I've always hated that you wanted children! And now that you have them, I want them gone! I've only been back for a day, and I'm already tired of how much attention you're paying to them! You don't even want to have sex with me anymore!" Ike whips around after grabbing his amber colored sword.

"So what I don't want to have sex with you! That doesn't mean you go rape and try to kill my son!" I take a step forward, completely enraged.

"He's not your son! He's an angel! He can never be your son! Neither of them can be!" Ike steps forward, dropping his sword, and puts his hands on my waist.

"Get your hands off me." I growl as I roughly push his hands off me.

I turn to go, but I'm slammed into the open door. Ike presses himself to me, rubbing his cock on my ass. I feel his hot breath on my neck and his sharp teeth scrape across the soft skin on my neck. He starts biting and sucking hard on my neck, while adding brutal kisses.

-To Pit!-

I run out the door of the room, stopping and turning around to Ike's room. Kuro comes up behind me, while Marth quickly scoops us both up.

"What do you think you're doing?" I hear Marth whisper in my ear. "You were told to-" He looks up and sees what me and Kuro are watching.

-Okay, Never Mind. To Marth!-

He sees Roy pressed to the door, being pinned down by Ike. His shirt is torn open and his pants are at his knees, revealing his slender, creamy white thighs. My face gets red as I cover Pit and Kuro's eyes. Roy pushes frantically on Ike's chest to get him off, but the huge mercenary won't budge.

Ike turns Roy over so they are facing each other. Ike quickly slams his lips into Roy's, kissing him hard, biting his bottom lip until it bleeds. He rubs his crotch against Roy, making the general whimper in distress.

I quickly take Pit and Kuro back into their room, and put them up on the bed. I go to run back out and help Roy, but I hear Kuro call to me.

"Marth! Wait!" Kuro calls.

I turn back to them.

"What's Ike doing to father? Why is he doing that?" Kuro asks.

"Umm, I'll explain later, right now, I'm going to go help your father. Stay here." I order as I rush out of the room.

I run down the hall and wrap my arms around Ike's stomach. I pull him off Roy, who falls to the floor, shaking in fear. Ike whips around and slams me down to the ground. He gets on top of me, placing his large hand on my throat.

"You told him! I told you not to tell him or I'd kill you! You have quite the death wish, don't you?" Ike growls as he presses harder into my throat.

I grab his arm, trying to get him off me. I see Roy leap across the room and grab his sword. His pants are back on, but his shirt is still barely clinging to his muscled upper body. He swings the sword towards Ike, cutting off some of his spiky blue hair.

Ike whips his head around, glaring at Roy maliciously. He jumps off me, grabs Ragnell, and swings out towards Roy. The general jumps back, completely dodging Ike's slash.

"Roy! Come on!" I call as I leap up.

He looks to me as I run out of the room. He follows me quickly. Just as he runs out the door, Ike swings forward with his sword and slices Roy's shoulder open. I hear a loud scream of pain. I turn around quickly and see Rou crouching on the ground, holding his left shoulder.

"Roy!" I scream in fear as Ike walks up to him.

He lifts his sword and puts the tip of it on the middle of Roy's spine.

"You will never get away from me. You are mine. Why do you think I killed Hector and Eliwood? They loved you. So do Pit and Kuro. Which is why they must die. You are only mine to love." Ike leans down towards Roy's face.

Roy looks over at him through one half opened eye. Ike reaches forward and caresses his cheek softly, leaning closer and kissing Roy's soft cheek. I run into my room, grab my sword and run back out. I go to swing at Ike, but he throws his sword at me.

As I'm jumping out of the way, it nicks my side. Ike jumps up and grabs his sword. He jumps towards me and grabs me by the throat.

-Pit's P.O.V.-

I watch Ike slam Marth to the ground. I have no idea where father is, but I heard him scream, so I fear the worst. Kuro and I are clinging to each other, but Kuro is on top of me, his hands on the top of my head.

We stare in horror as Ike holds his sword up. He's still pinning Marth to the ground, who's desperately pushing on Ike's chest to get him off.

"I'll make sure not to hit anything vital so you can still watch me murder the angels." Ike drives the blade down, sticking it straight through Marth's side and into the ground.

Marth screams in pain, blood quickly staining the carpet and Marth's soft white skin. I hear Ike laugh as he stands up. Marth frantically pushes on the blade, but can't get it out of the ground. Tears stream down his face, as he whines between each pant.

"Marth!" I scream in terror.

I squeeze out from under Kuro and hop out of the room to beside Marth. I grab the blade of the sword to pull it out, but I feel something slam into my side. I tumble over a couple times then hit the wall. Ike walks up to me and reaches down.

I whimper in fear as he lifts me up into his arms. He turns me so I can see Roy. He's crouching, holding his shoulder, watching Ike in terror as he starts softly stroking my right wing.

"You really are a pretty little angel, aren't you? Your brother is quite attractive too. What a shame you have to die." I feel him slip his hands around to hold my neck.

"Ike! Put him down!" Roy growls.

"Put him down!" I hear an unfamiliar scream behind me and Ike.

Just as Ike is about to turn around, I hear him gasp. I look down and see the tip of a spear sticking out from in between my legs. I feel Ike's grip on my throat loosen, and I drop to the floor. I look back up confusedly. The large mercenary groans, then falls to his knees. He falls forward onto his face, and behind him I see Ephriam.

"Ike!" Roy cries in confusion.

I don't know whether to be mad at Roy for being sad that Ike is dead, or to just leave it alone because Marth is pinned to the floor with a sword in his side. I look over at Roy. He watches me slowly stand up. Instead of rushing to him to see if he's okay, I run over to Marth.

Ephriam runs up beside me, sees Marth and gasps. I grab the blade of the sword and gently pull it out. As I pull it up, more blood oozes from the wound. Once it's out, I drop it on the floor. Looking back to Marth, I watch his eyes slowly close.

"Marth! Wait, don't die!" I cry out as I scramble back over to him.

I put my hands on his chest, my tears dripping off my chin. I put my hand over the wound to try and stop the bleeding.

"Marth? Don't worry, you'll be okay! I'll make sure you're okay," I whimper as the blood seeps out from under my hand.

"Pit, go check on your father. I'll take care of Marth." Ephriam says quietly.

I look over at Roy and see Kuro slowly inching towards him. Roy is staring down at the ground, tears dripping off his cheeks. I get up away from Marth and go over to Roy. Before he looks up, I crawl into his lap, forcing his head up with mine. I hear him gasp in pain.

"I'm sorry father," I whisper, as I know me moving him was what hurt him.

He looks down at me and wraps his arms tightly around my stomach. I hug him back, knowing he's in a lot of emotional and physical pain. I press my nose into the crook of his neck, watching Kuro plop down next to him and hold his non hurt arm.

"I'm sorry I didn't come to you first. I was just so worried about Marth, I completely forgot about you. Please forgive me." I lower my head, expecting him to be extremely angry with me and him to hit me.

"It's okay. Marth is in much worse condition than I am. Is he okay? Where was he stabbed?" Roy asks as Kuro starts rubbing his cheek against Roy's.

"He was stabbed in the side. I hope he's okay. I don't want him to die father." I feel the tears come back as my voice gets whiney.

"Marth will be fine. Don't worry. Ephriam, will you help us get Marth back to my old house?" Roy calls to Ephriam.

"Yes, of course. What should I do about Ike? We can't leave a dead body in the middle of the hall." Ephriam stands up and carefully scoops Marth up off the ground.

I watch as Marth head hangs back, as if he is already dead. His side is still bleeding, but Ephriam has his hand over it. It's not really helping.

"I don't know. We'll do something about it later. For now, we just need to get Marth, Pit and Kuro to safety." The ginger uses only one arm to lift me.

He slowly stands up.

"Father, you shouldn't carry me right now. Please put me down." I demand politely.

He looks down at me, then reluctantly puts me down. I hug him carefully. Roy keeps looking down at me as he softly rubs my shoulder. I turn and start helping Kuro stand up. I turn and crouch in front of Kuro. He knows I want him to get on my back so I can carry him. We used to do it for fun all the time, so I know I can carry him.

He climbs up onto my back, nuzzling his nose into the crook of my neck. He wraps his arms around my neck and his legs around my shoulders. I hold his legs, then turn my head as much as possible. I kiss the top of his head as I start following Ephriam out of the house.

I inch past Ike slowly, watching him intently. As father Roy walks past him, he uses his good arm to pull Ephriam's spear out of Ike's back. I quickly go out the door. I see Ephriam open the door on a carriage, climb inside, and carefully lay Marth down on the wide seats.

"Roy! Have Pit or Kuro go get your horse! We're gonna need it." Ephriam calls to my father as he closes and locks the door to Ike's house.

I look at Kuro, who's staring out into the forest. I nudge him, and he gets off my back. We look at Roy, who nods in agreement. Me and Kuro rush off to the stable. Roy had thought me how to ride a horse, so I know how to do it. Marth was the one who taught Kuro how to ride a horse, so he rides bare back.

"You should get Marth's horse too Kuro. He'll probably want her." I tell Kuro as I saddle Roy's horse.

"Okay." As I climb up onto Roy's beautiful white and grey horse.

I look over and watch Kuro climb onto Marth's horse. We walk both horses out of the stable and over to the carriage. Roy is sitting up in the front of the carriage, leaning against Ephriam's shoulder. He's holding his arm against him.

"Ah, I forgot about Marth's horse. Smart thinking Kuro. Come on, it's a long way back to Roy's old home, but we'll be fine." Ephriam whips the reins, and the horses neigh, then start walking.

I walk up to the front of the carriage. I look over at Roy. He still looks uncomfortable and in pain, but he looks like he might be asleep. I can hear Marth groan in pain every once in a while. Kuro is walking on Marth's horse beside the carriage door. Even though I want to burst into tears that Roy and Marth are both severely hurt, I keep my tears in, hoping to look stronger than that.

"Pit, it's okay. I know how you must feel right now, but don't worry. Roy and Marth will be okay. I know everything is so hard to take in, but you and your brother will be fine. It's okay to be worried about your father. His arm is in pretty bad condition, so it's okay that you're worried." Ephriam looks over at me.

I look back to him. "Ephriam, is it true that Ike raped you?" I ask him quietly.

I don't think he heard me properly. He looks confused, then replies "What did you say?"

"I asked if it was true that Ike raped you." I repeat louder.

His blue eyes get wide in shock and confusion. He looks back to the horses, almost as if he's pretending that he didn't hear my question again.

"Is it true?" I ask for the third time.

"Yes, it's true." He finally answers quietly.

"Did he do what he did to Marth to you?" I add quietly.

"What did he do to Marth?" Ephriam looks over at me.

"He raped Marth, then cut his chest and made him promise not to tell Roy. He has a scar that goes from his right shoulder all the way down to his left hip from what Ike did to him." I explain.

"No, he didn't do that. I didn't even know he was with Roy until the day after he raped me." Ephriam growls, mostly to himself. "That Ike is infamous for breaking people, not just their hearts, but themselves in general. Once I heard that Ike was with Roy, I feared the worst. I didn't want my dear friend to be heart broken by such a despicable person, but you can't help who you fall for. I'm just glad he's dead now."

"That's kind of harsh, don't you think?" I mutter, not wanting to continue talking about my father and him being together.

"Where's your brother?" The teal haired prince asks as he looks back to me.

"Behind me." I look back to him, and see that he's staring into the carriage at Marth.

Kuro looks really worried. He looks up and sees me staring at him.

"Pit, tell Ephriam that Marth's wound still hasn't stopped bleeding." Kuro orders quietly.

"I think he already knows." I reply.

"Then why didn't he do anything about it? He'll die if he doesn't" Kuro sounds as if he'll cry, but he keeps his emotions contained.

"Okay, I'll tell him." I sigh.

Turning back to Ephriam, I watch him stop the horses. As they come to a stop, I also stop. Ephriam jumps off the carriage and goes over to the door. He opens it, then takes his cape off. I see Kuro watching him intently, as if he thinks Ephriam will hurt Marth more.

The blue eyed prince carefully lifts Marth, then wraps his cape around his stomach, making sure to make it tight to help stop the bleeding. Once Ephriam finishes, Kuro calls to him.

"Can I be with Marth? To make sure he's not in a lot of pain or anything?" Kuro asks shyly as Ephriam climbs back up onto the front.

"Yes, just tie the horse to the back of the carriage. It will follow." Ephriam waits while Kuro climbs down from the horse.

I watch Ephriam lean Roy against him again, putting his skinny arm around my father's stomach. Why does everybody love him? I understand why me and Kuro do, but Marth loves him, it seems Ephriam loves him, that Hector guy loved him, Ike loved him, everybody loves him!

I look back to Kuro. The horse is tied to the back of the carriage by some rope, which I'm guessing he got from inside the carriage. He's inside, pressed up against Marth's uninjured side.

"Ephriam, we can go." I inform him.

"Okay." He whips the horses, and we start off again.

I can tell just by how long it's taking for us to get anywhere; we are going a long, long ways away. I thought that was our home, but apparently not. It doesn't seem to be Roy's home anymore either. Does he even remember where he used to live right now? Hasn't someone else taken it yet?

I hear Kuro's voice, but it's really quiet. I can't make out what he's saying, but it sounds like he's crying. Why is he so worried about Marth? He's barely paid any attention to our father. Then again, neither have I. He's asleep in Ephriam's lap right now, so I can't really talk to him to see if he's okay.

I look down at our handsome father. He is lying in Ephriam's lap, still holding his arm. Tears are still wet on his cheeks. He must be in so much pain. Ephriam has his one free hand on Roy's head, probably trying to help calm him a little.

I stretch as much as I can without letting go of the reins. My head and shoulders are drooping in exhaustion. I try to stifle a yawn, but can't and end up yawing anyways. I look at Roy through the corner of my eyes.

Staring at him like this, I feel so helpless. I could have prevented all this, I don't know how, but I feel like I could have. I blame myself for Marth getting stabbed, and I blame myself for my father's shoulder being cut. I blame myself that Kuro is sitting against Marth, crying because he thinks the beautiful prince will die.

Marth doesn't deserve to die. I don't think he deserves such a fate. From what I know, he's done nothing but suffer in his life. I feel tears stream down my cheeks. I lower my head, hoping no one notices that I'm crying.

"Pit, are you tired?" I hear Ephriam ask.

I look at him through the corner of my eyes. He stops the carriage again. I watch as he gets down form the carriage, leaning Roy against the side of the seat, and comes over the horse. He holds his arms out to me. I give him a questioning look.

"Come on. Get down from there. You can sit with your father. You look really tired." He keeps his arms out, insisting that I get down.

I get off the horse, then hop down, landing in front of him. Instead of noticing the fact that I don't want him holding me, he picks me up anyways. I squirm a little, but he just fixes how he's holding me and starts walking over to the carriage.

He lifts me and puts me up in the front seat. He goes to tie the horse to the back with Marth's, while I cuddle up to Roy. I look up and see his eyes slowly open. He looks down, and our blue eyes meet. He moves so he's all the way on the seat.

He holds one arm out to me, half smiling. He's covered in blood, pain is obvious in his expression, one eye his held half closed, and he's desperately holding one of his shoulders higher than the other. He doesn't' look as happy and 'I want to hold you and love you' as he wanted. He puts his arm down.

"I'm sorry I couldn't do anything about Ike. I tried, I really did. I'm sorry you have to see me and Marth like this. It's not appealing, I know." Roy sighs as he looks down.

I crawl carefully up into his lap, rubbing my head on his stomach. He puts his hand on my leg. He softly strokes my leg, and I feel his nose press into my neck. I move farther up, hoping to help comfort him.

"It's okay father. You did what you could. You could have been killed, just to protect us. I'm more grateful than words can even describe." I whisper.

I feel hot tears on my neck, but don't figure it's from anything but pain. I carefully wrap my arms around his stomach. Though his other arm is in burning pain, he warps both his arms around my torso. Ephriam climbs back, up looks at us, then starts leading the horses again.

I look back up at him again. The ginger reaches up to dry his cheeks, but I grab his hand. After gently putting his hand down, I reach up and dry his cheeks for him. He grabs my hand and holds it to his cheek. I lay my head against his chest and curl up to get more comfortable.

He puts his hand back down on me, also placing my hand down. He makes sure to keep his hand on mine. I reach over and grab his hurt arm. I feel him cringe, but I pull his arm up against me, holding it tight.

"Pit, that's hurting him." I hear Ephriam snap at me.

I lift my head and give him a vicious glare. He glares back, but I know that he knows I'm not purposely trying to put Roy through any more pain. I lay my head down on his blood covered arm. Roy puts his hand on my back suddenly, and I know if I was anyone else, he would have just quickly thrown me off him.

I stay where I am, not moving and I close my eyes. I feel him grab the back of my tight undershirt. He's trying not to hurt me, I know he is. I press my face into his arm, then start slowly licking him. Ephriam and Roy are both staring down at me confusedly.

"Pit, stop licking me." Roy pants in pain.

I feel him cringe in pain as I move forward slightly. He doesn't know that our saliva has some strange property in it that numbs all feeling. I finish licking his entire arm. I know he's completely confused. I can't get the taste of blood out of my mouth now though.

"Is your arm numb?" I ask as I sit back.

He nods his head 'yes', his blue eyes wide. I cuddle up to him again and lay my head on his shoulder. I feel both hands on the side of my stomach. He kisses the top of my head and buries his face into my neck.

-Roy's P.O.V.-

"Roy, it looks like your son is trying to ride you. I think you should move him from that position." Ephriam coughs.

I look down. Pit is in a very awkward position, but I don't think it looks like that. It just looks like he's sitting on me. I keep looking at him. His small ass is on my crotch, and he's draped over my shoulder, while I hold his sides. I guess it might a little.

I ignore Ephriam's comment and bury my face into his neck. He has a soft rain like scent. Though he is my son, if he wasn't and we were closer in age, I would have sex with him and his brother. I'd never tell anyone that, and I would never try or force them too. I only look at them as my children, and nothing more.

"Okay, but when we get to your house you'll be the one judged." I hear Ephriam sigh.

I start to fall asleep, my arm still numb and his scent comforting me.

So, I just had to clarify how Roy actually feels about them. He doesn't ever do anything, he is not that kind of person, but I have been around other people when their parents say awkward things close to what I had Roy say.
