A/N: Nothing was edited out in this chapeter!

"Ike! Ike! Let me back in!" a heavy fist pounded on the hotel door. Marth whined in his voice. "Please! I'm sorry!" There was no answer though.

"Marth…I'm sorry." Ike whispered to himself from within the room. A lump was large in his throat. "I don't mean to treat you like this…but I…" The pounding on the door continued. Ike pressed his fingers against his temples for a moment. He couldn't stand the sound of the younger practically crying to be let back in. He felt horrible with himself, and yet he couldn't bring himself to open the door. The taste of another man's semen still lingered in his mouth from that kiss. "Please…" He turned himself into the bathroom, closing the door and putting the shower on.

After a while, Marth slowly ceased his knocks. His eyes watered and he turned his back to the door. He slid down it until he came to sit on the floor. "You can't do this to me…I'm a prince…" He sniffed and hugged his knees against his body. "I won't cry…" Suddenly he was regretting the choice he made with that older man. It was suppose to solve his feelings for Ike, but it just made things worse. "That man…" He mumbled.

A shadow lingered over him. "Who?" A familiar voice rang to him. Marth blinked and turned his head up to see Snake standing in front of him.

"Ah…" He choked on his words, his cheeks turning pink.

"What's wrong? You locked out?"

Marth nodded stiffly.

"Well…that's nothing to cry about."

Marth straighten his back defensively. "I'm not crying!"

"Alright, alright…whatever you say, girl." Snake waved his hands.

"Girl…" Marth bit his lip as he mumbled the word under his breath.

"Why don't you get another key at the desk?"

"Because…I don't…think my roommate…wants me in there right now."

A slow smirk curved Snake's lips. "Oh I see. Lucky for me I demanded to be alone! Hah."

The tint over Marth's cheeks increase.

"Hmm…in that case, why don't you come with me?"

"What?"

"You heard me. I'm going to get something to eat, and…well, you could probably use a change of clothes." He winked.

The color on Marth's face finally turned red. A hand reached down to him. He stared at it for a minute before finally taking it.

The two of the stared at one another, both of their hands interlocked. The only movement was a small cringe of Snake's eyebrow. 'This is unlike me…' He thought to himself. 'Since when do I actually care about the well being of someone…? Unless…I like them."

"Is something wrong?" Marth questioned, his head tilting to the side.

"Huh…what?"

A chuckle sounded in Marth's throat. "Your hand…it's all sweaty…"

"Oh…yeah." Snake dropped the prince's hand. "Come on…" Snake started to head down the hall. Marth felt the urge to just grab hold of his hand again, or to latch onto his arm. He also felt the feeling wasn't right though. He only nodded and sighed as he followed the older man.

They stepped into the elevator. The only sound was that of the motor running. Snake stood in one corner, Marth in the other. "Hey…girl…" Snake chimed up, pulling himself away from the spot. He stepped in front of Marth, corning him. Marth could feel both their body's heat. It made him so hot.

Blinking, Marth stared up at the other. He waited for him to say something, but no vowels dropped from his lips. Instead of talking, those lips pressed gently against Marth's. The boy gasped a small sound against Snake. The man pushed himself closer to him, his leg angling to anchor between Marth's legs.

"No-!" Marth whined, shifting himself to the side so that Snake didn't receive the touched he desired.

Snake stared with a narrow gaze at him. "You don't like being kissed."

"N…no…It's not that…it's just that…" He turned his head to the side with a glare due to his self-loathing. 'It's just that I'm insecure with what I want, and you think I'm a girl…' Luckily the elevator door opened on the main floor, "Come on!" Marth scampered out of the elevator.

"H-hey!" Snake followed after.

Marth stopped in the lobby, bouncing a bit on his feet. His eyes shifted from the hotel's café and to the door. "Um…so…"

"Mn, your pants, right? I think we should take care of that so we can enjoy our food."

With a smile and nod, Marth practically skipped out the building. Even though this was his second time being summoned to this world, it still held so many exciting and enticing elements for the medieval prince. Their towns and streets were so different from his own, and they even had strange magical screens that showed the past and present on them from different parts of the world.

Both prince and spy walked down the city's sidewalks. Marth couldn't keep his head still as he looked from side to side.

"There-" Snake pointed to a shop. Marth tripped over his next step.

"Wah…th-there?" He pointed with a shaky hand at a woman's boutique shop. Before Marth could protest, Snake had already entered inside. For a moment Marth hesitated, but soon he went in the store as well.

The place rang of perfume. The amount of risqué outfits they had made the walls appear as if they were laced themselves. Along with high classed clothes, came high-classed novelty items. It made the young man blush as he walked passed aisles and rows of various objects he had never seen before, let alone know what they were used for. He stopped and stared at a large purple vibrator that was ribbed and bumped for pleasure.

"Do you like that?" Snake seemed to have appeared behind the blue-haired boy, looming over him.

"What is it?" Marth poked at the tip. Snake raised an eyebrow.

"Are you kidding?" He smirked. "Perhaps I'll have to show you what it is later." His hand sneaked down Marth's body, fingers clenching a bit over his butt cheeks. Marth yelped softly. "Go…pick something out to wear. I'll do my own bit of shopping." Snake turned away from him then.

With a turn of his head, Marth wondered what the man would possibly want here. He didn't seem like the type to want to wear woman's clothing. He shrugged it off though and went to trail the aisles.

He looked desperately for pants, but the only slacks they had were pajamas. The store seemed to like skirts. "Oh well…" He groaned as he picked out the longest skirt he could find, which was a rather short pink skirt that came down three inches past the crotch. The outfit came with stockings, and a sleeveless shirt that only covered the bust. Matching it up to his body, he grimaced deeply at realizing he would need to get underwear too if he didn't want his boxers to show past the skirt. "Why" he whined and took the closest panties he could find: Pink.

Another thought intruded on him. He picked up a bra. Before his armor covered his chest. It was probably the catalyst in his gender confusion. Now, without the armor, his flat chest would be exposed. He would need to hide that.

As he made his way to the check out, Snake was already there. He had himself leaned against the counter with a black bag in his hand that concealed the items within. "Yo Go get changed, I've got it." He tossed some gold onto the counter. "And oh…take this too." The man eyed what Marth held and threw some black high heal shoes at him. Marth caught it but in a sloppy manner.

"Mrr…" He gave a final whine before going into the dressing room. Anxiety was knocked around in his head as he got changed. 'I can't believe I'm doing this…why don't I just tell him the truth!? Oh yeah…because I sucked him off…' With a long exhale Marth exited the changing room. He could barely walk in the shoes, but the clothes fit his slender body rather well.

"Oh Very nice." Snake licked his own lips a bit for dramatic affect. The action only made Marth blush deeper. "Feel better?" Snake chuckled.

Marth gave a stiff nod as he thought to himself about how much worse he felt like this. The underwear was so loose around him, and it was cold too!

"You look a lot better in that type of outfit."

The blush over Marth's face ran deeper. Silently he put his old clothes in a bag and carried it out with Snake. The two of them headed back to the hotel. "Um…so…you bought clothes too?" He peered shyly up at Snake.

"Hah, no. I bought some toys for you."

"For me?" He perked up a bit more. "Ah…about that…you didn't need to buy…er…"

"I'm hungry." Snake hastily stepped past Marth back into the hotel.

Within the café, Marth had himself pressed up the display case. "Wow…they have all sorts of neat treats and food here…we just have…dragon legs where I'm from."

"We have DNA…" Snake uttered, standing behind him.

"Huh?"

"Nothing. What are you getting?"

"Hmm…maybe that." He pointed to a tonkatsu (pork) sandwich. "What are you having?" A smile appeared as he turned to face Snake. Snake shrugged.

"Dunno, I'm not hungry."

"But…I thought you said…" Before Marth could finish, Snake stepped to the counter.

"The ton…ka…stu sandwich!" Snake reached into his pocket and took out some gold he had earned from fighting at this place.

"Wai!" Marth practically latched to the agent's side. "No! Don't pay for me!" He frantically started digging through his pockets. "I'm a prince-..ess! I have lots of—"

A hand pressed to Marth's head. "It's payback for your service earlier" He ruffled his hand through the blue locks. Marth became red and turned away.

"Ah…Yes-…" He gulped and ran to a two-seater table. Snake followed after with the tray and set it in front of Marth.

For not being a girl, Marth was well seated in the classic shy female position: He knees were tightly pressed together and his hands uneasily folded in his lap.

"Well…go on eat…Oh wait, damnit. I forgot to get you something to drink!" Snake stood up again, but he did not make it very far as Marth's words stopped him.

"Neh…aren't you…going to ask me about being a princess or…my name?" His voice was timid as he stared down at the sandwich.

There was a long pause from Snake. "Names…are meaningless…"

"But…"

"But what?"

"…I…like you!" The hesitancy was gone. Without even realizing it, Marth had stood up and slammed his hands on the tabletop.

A hallow look was given to Marth from Snake. "…You…don't even know me."

"Then let me know you! Tell me your name!"

A deep sigh exited Snake. Closing his eyes, he sat back down. "Its...Snake…Solid Snake."

Marth was quiet. Was it that 'Solid Snake' sounded like a fake name, or was it that the dust of what he had just said finally hit him? "Oh gods…"

Snake opened his eyes, a brow raised. "You have heard of me? Well…that doesn't surprise m-"

"No…I….I like you…." Marth repeated, but it was nearly a whisper.

"Uh….yeeaah…"

"I mean…" He forced a smile. "My name is Marth."

"Marth…short of Martha?"

"Well…it's…" Eyes became wide. Suddenly Snake wasn't the focus of Marth's attention any more. Walking towards the café was Ike. The color left Marth's face.

"What is it?" Snake inched close. Ike was probably asking the same question in his head by the way that he was looking at the two of them.

Time had stopped. Nothing existed except for the three of them. What path would Marth take to get home again? Snake was already close to him. A sharp breath exited from Marth. His slender hand reached forward and as he pulled at Snake's collar. He leaned across the table and dominantly pushed his lips to Snake's. Within the same second, both Snake's and Ike's eyes drew wide. Time still stalled though. Marth stayed like this for as long as he could, for as long as it took for Ike to pull his gaze off of them.

The mercenary just continued to stare, a look of every sort of negative emotion upon his face that one could muster. Snake's personal hours did not remain stopped like Marth and Ike's. It did not take him long to return that kiss.

The man tilted his head, wrapping his lips around Marth's more. His hand rose up as he ran it though the boy's hair. Even though the osculation was initiated by Marth, he was still holding back some. The familiar added color to his face had also found it's home there again. It was because of Snake's response, however, that Ike finally turned his back to the two of them. It was then that Marth pulled away. Snake was ginning. "Damn, I didn't know you were into public affection. Would that be the reason why you tried to pull away all those times in private?"

Marth stared at Snake in silence for a moment, wondering about what he had just done and why he had done it. Was it really just to antagonize Ike, or was it because he had actually wanted to kiss Snake? "Ah…Snake-kun…I'm…thirsty…" He stared back down in his lap.

"…Yeah, that's right. I'll be right back!" He smirked before getting up and heading back over to the counter. There was a small line. Snake stroked fingers through his own hair. He hated waiting, but it was something he often did.

"Excuse me…" A voice spoke and a finger tapped lightly upon Snake's shoulder. The man turned around to see another male with blue hair—Ike.

"Mn…what is it?" He asked without much care in his voice.

Marth's heart hit against his chest so hard. He sat at the table with complete dread over his face as he saw Ike walk up to Snake. This could not be a good thing.

"Prince Marth…" Ike said to Snake. There was bitterness and a hint of anger within his tone.

"Prince….Marth? You mean princess…"

"No, I mean prince- Marth….Marth is a boy, do you understand? I don't know what you think you are doing by having him wear that ridicules outfit, but—"

"Hmm…and just who are you?"

There was a long pause. The woman behind the counter spoke up several times to that Snake was next in line, but it was ignored. "I'm….I'm his boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Snake's grin became wide across his face. There was a devious look in his eyes. "So…she is really a he, you say? You tell me she's a boy, and he tells me she's a girl…I guess I will just have to find out, hm?"

The muscles on Ike's face tightened. "And just what-" but he was cut off again by Snake as he finally stepped up to the counter.

"Yeah, give me an apple juice and a strawberry parfait." The worker behind the counter retrieved the said items and gave them to Snake in exchange for the payment. "See ya-" Purposely he bumped his shoulder harshly against Ike's as he passed him.

Marth was speechless as Snake sat back down. He handed him the juice, and shaky hands wrapped around it. After a moment Marth spoke up again. "You…got something to eat?" He pointed at the strawberry treat.

"Hm? Oh? This? Yeah…but I think I want to eat it in my room with you."

"With…with me?" Marth flushed and took a long sip of his juice.

"Yeah, so what do you say? It gets kind of annoying to have to deal with stares." Snake pointed a thumb at Ike's direction, who seemed to be just perched against a corner and eyeing the two of them.

"Oh, of course! Yeah, that's what you meant." Snake stood up, and with his free hand grabbed Marth and their bags. He pulled him out of the café. He was sure to give Ike a large toothy smile as they went inside the elevator.
