Chapter three
--
Once again, Snake was stuck in the same situation: How to get rid of Marth.
Snake pursued one goal, and one goal alone. Which wasn't exactly to get rid of the prince but rather to meet his destination. Although now he found himself pursuing two goals, one of which was to make it to his destination just as he had planned, but the other was what was really causing him to lose his temper, getting rid of the prince.
He had underestimated the young prince, to that he admitted; but he would get rid of him one way or the other.
Snake reached down into one of his pockets, pulling out a small box and removing a cigarette from the tiny pack. Shoving it between his lips, he slid the box back into his pocket, now if he could find his lighter.
Snake slapped his forehead giving an irritated yell, Mario had lit my cigarette up last time because I FORGOT my lighter! How the hell am I supposed to light it up now?!
The prince stopped a couple feet behind Snake, obviously the older man was upset over something. "Snake...Is there something wrong?"
Snake twitched, first the cigarette, now Marth reminding him that he wasn't alone. The older man sighed shaking his head, "No, everything's fine kid"
Marth nodded, once again trailing behind Snake. Marth rubbed his eyes, letting them shut temporarily 'Well at least I'm getting an "exciting" mission for this..' The young prince fell over after bumping into a rather well-built figure.
"Watch where you're going there princess, I thought you were more careful than this" Marth made a face upon hearing princess but decided to ignore the rude remark. Proping himself onto his elbows, he pushed himself into a sitting position before hearing the older man speak again, "We should rest for a while"
"But..that will only endanger the mission. The longer it takes the more risky it can get" the young prince made an effort to stand up, only to be pushed back down by a large boot.
"We're taking a break and that's final"
The prince frowned and let out a long sigh. There are too many breaks, at this rate we will accomplish nothing
Snake smiled, this was the perfect setting for plan C! "Alright kid, get some rest. We'll set for our mission again in a couple of hours"
Marth nodded, sitting down next to a tree. Fall asleep when he's so anxious? No way.
Snake looked about, trying to find some wood. It wasn't for warmth or anything like that, but merely to light up his cigarette. Upon spying a couple of branches and rocks, Snake proceeded to pick them up.
Now how did these things work...maybe the kid knows.. turning around he noticed a cape in the form of a large lump. He must be asleep.. Snake grinned, instantly dropping his materials and letting them hit the ground.
The older man backed away, seeming extremely happy and proud that the prince was asleep. In congratualating himself, he skipped past a couple of trees, might I add he was skipping backwards, still examining the sleeping figure. "It's show time!"
Turning around, Snake's eye's went wide. There was water surrounding the area, and a beautiful waterfall adorning the sparkling image. But unfortunatly, that's all he caught a glimpe of before falling into the fresh water.
'Cough, cough, cough'
Snake spalshed around in the water, he was finding it a bit difficult to swim with so much gear on. But then again, he was made for this kind of stuff wasn't he? He splashed about for a couple of more seconds before being pulled onto his feet.
Snake coughed up the salty water, pushing the small hands that had saved him away from his body.
"Snake, all you had to do was stand on your feet. I assure you this is the shallow end"
Snake rose an eyebrow at the prince. Hold on...the prince?! What was he doing here..and...
"I thought you were asleep!"
Marth frowned, tilting his head sideways in confusion; it had obviously become a habit of the prince. "No..I decided to refreshen myself. And in doing so--" "I saw a bundle of clo.." Snake stopped in midsentence, well this explained why he had seen a small bundle piled up against the tree. The boy had obviously stripped himself of his clothing, making it seem as if he were asleep when it was just a pile of clothes under the cape. Clever.
Snake stood on his feet, he felt heavier now probably due to all the water his outfit consumed.
"So what were you doing out here Snake?"
Snake turned his attention towards the prince, he hadn't gotten a good glimpe of the younger before but now he dared to look the boy in the eyes. Plainly put, the kid wasn't atrocious at all, infact in a sort of femenine type of way, he was beautiful. Snake couldn't bring himself to say handsome, for the boy didn't look very masculine, but he could work with pretty.
It made Snake wonder sometimes, was the prince even a male? So many times would thoughts cross his mind on investigating that situation, but he always put them aside.
"I was just..taking a nice walk" Snake sighed, taking a good view the sparkling water, the starry night was also quite beautiful and it only further complemented the scene.
"Well I'm getting out before I catch a cold" Snake pushed himself onto the surface, taking a seat at the edge.
"I'll be out later" Snake nodded, before dragging himself away.

"So, let's go get a midnight snack" Snake offered, watching the prince freeze up.
"No.." Marth turned to face a couple of trees, avoiding eye contact with the elder. Snake only looked at the boy a bit confused before catching on.
"Still shaken up about that incident huh? Well don't worry, we'll only be in and out quickly"
Marth frowned, why does this man like eating so much? "But Snake..I thought you said no more breaks..."
The older of the two ignored the younger, leading the way into what seemed to be yet another town.

Snake had a bit of a sweet tooth this time and decided to go with cake, the prince once again had only ordered a small cup of coffee. What was wrong with this boy? Snake shook his head, finding himself out of smoothie; of course, Snake being Snake stood up walking over to the register again to order some more.
Once he had his smoothie he began on his walk back towards the table. At that time he couldn't help but notice a small, lithe figure walk into the women's restroom, and in looking back at the table, Marth was missing.
Snake smiled, backing up into a wall with a smoothie pressed up against his chest. Time for plan...I didn't even make this plan actually.. Snake ignored the fact the prince had entered a women's restroom, all he was focused on was getting out of here.
Grinning wickedly he backed up a couple of more steps before..."It's show time!" The man turned around and bumped into a small frame.
"It's show time? And by that you meant..?" Snake stared at the prince, wasn't he in the bathroom?!
"Um..nothing. What were YOU doing huh?" Marth was puzzled as to why the man would ask such a silly question. "I was getting some more sugar" the young prince simply stated, rising a small bag of sugar up in between them.
Snake twitched, I need to start watching where I'm going...
