Well, it's been a while once again. I'm not the most reliable person, but I supose some of you may forgive me. xD I lost my drive for this story for a little while, but tonight, I decided that I really... really wanted to write this. So... TA DA. I have to say... this chapter has some parts that will utterly shock you. Or maybe not. They did when I wrote it... I didn't plan for it to happen like this, but I'm glad it did. ^^
I actually would really appriciate some feedback on this chapter, just because I'm not sure if it's too rushed, or if it was just too completely mind boggling and you cannot understand how any of it could spontaniously happen like that...
Yeaaaaah. So anyway, sorry for another wait. Those of you who put up with me are truely amazing. Thank you for the reviews and near- daily favs and watches. You all really make me feel so blessed that I can share my ideas with someone and have them appriciate them. That is my purpose as a writer... to share the world's I emerse myself with, with other creative people. Hopefully you'll look for me when I publish a book of my own.
After all that blah, blah, blah... I do not own, although we all know this, I will remind you once more. ^^
Also. I will never be so great as to own Fruit Loops(tm) either. Enjoy.
Day Six, Part Two
Epiphany
"Heh... Heh, heh..." Marth's expression was frozen in a twisted grimace. "My...sexuality...heh." Slowly, he stood and began inching towards the door. Zelda however was not going to have any of this. She shot a glance at Dr. Mario, who then jumped up, whipped out a straightjacket and waved it in the boy's face.
"W-What!" Marth leapt backwards, shocked out of his disturbed stupor, his eyes darting from the door to the clearly misplaced object swinging from the counsellor's hands.
"Calm down Marth. It's just a safety precaution," Zelda explained with an airy wave of her hand.
"S-safety precaution! Since when was I mentally unstable enough to warrant this safety precaution!" The princess' smooth features lifted into a thoughtful expression before she broke into a slightly sadistic smile.
"Alright, maybe it's more a way to scare you, but we are straying from the obviously important topic before us."
"Important..."
"Sit down Marth." He obeyed quickly and without question. The tone in her voice spoke of all the times someone had disobeyed her and what had happened to those who did. Marth could almost hear the echo of Link's long-ago screams. A shiver when down his spine.
"So then, we are ready to begin' a?" Dr. Mario was also respectively re-seated, his hands folded over the delicately draped binding material that rested in his lap.
"Yes," Peach added. "Let's begin."
"Very well. Marth, we are here to discuss the topic of your confusion."
"Con...fusion..?"
"Yes. It is clear that you, as you said earlier, believe yourself to be 'straight'." She mimed the quotation marks in the air with her fingers as she spoke.
"Y-yes...?"
"Well, it has been made apparent to us, Marth, that you are, in fact, gay."
"... No... I'm not."
"Oh yes. There is no denying it."
"I am... I'm not gay...Zelda." Zelda sighed, letting her head fall gracefully into her hand, shaking it back and forth, as if trying to teach a child how to spell their name.
"Marth. Dear. Have you ever been with a girl?"
"Y-yes. Of course I have," he huffed, crossing his arms and straightening his back. He had no idea why this was even being discussed, but Marth was quickly growing weary of it. He needed to get out of there. "Look, classes are starting soon and I really think-"
'How did it feel?"
"W-What?"
"You're stuttering Marthy. How did it feel? Being with a girl."
"I...It was... I... How am I supposed to answer this," he demanded, his voice coming out higher than intended. "How do you feel with Link, huh! Tell me, how?"
"Dominant."
"..."
"So blunt," Peach murmured with a slight giggle.
"Oh," Marth replied, a little stunned.
"So, did you ever feel submissive to your partner? Were you the one pulling her along, like a magnet?"
"Wha...? Are you really asking me this? Don't you think it's a little persona-"
"Answer."
"...W-well. For your information... we never made it that far." Marth's voice gradually became softer as he explained and his eyes began to wander.
"Mhm," Zelda said with a smirk and a slow nod of her head, her hand now cupping her chin in a very intrigued way.
"Have you ever had any strong emotional pull towards a female partner?"
"Isn't Dr. Mario the one who should be asking-"
"Have you?" Marth gulped and began fidgeting. He didn't believe he was gay. He certainly didn't see where Zelda got this confidence that he was, but the way she drilled him and beat him down mentally with her intimidating aura was starting to make it look like she was right. He absolutely did not agree, however, he was not having an easy time defending himself.
"No...Nothing too special..."
"I see." She closed her eyes and her head began to bob at a slightly faster pace, as if every answer fuelled her inner psychologist. He was starting to wonder when she'd start saying 'and how does that make you feel?'
"So, now I am going to ask..., have you ever had any strong emotions towards a male?"
"No. I have not," Marth replied firmly. He was confidant in that at least.
"Right, well that's no surprise, seeing as even you have not realized your true spirit yet." How the hell had she turned that one around?
"So, would you be apposed to a guy hitting on you?" Marth frowned and looked at the clock. This pointless questionnaire was dragging on and he really didn't want to be late for Professor Snake's class.
"I kicked Link in the face," he replied bluntly.
"Hmm? Damaged my property?" Marth blanched as he realized what he'd admitted. "Mhm," Zelda said simply, her face one of complete disinterest. Marth could feel it though..., the malice she was suppressing.
"Alright, no more questions I suppose," the elven princess said, leaning forward in her seat.
"So can I go now," Marth questioned, already hovering over his chair, ready to spring.
"Oh no. There is one last thing we must do Marthy dear."
"O...kay?" Zelda stood then suddenly, moving forward to loom over Marth. He let his body draw back a little until his back was flat against his chair. There was a sad expression on the girl's face and all Marth could think was, God save me, she's going to kill me. However, instead of drawing some secret knife out of nowhere and jamming it between the boy's ribs, crying 'I'm always right, insolent fool!', she flew forward and pinned his arms to the chair.
"W-Wha-" In a split second Marth found himself very close to the princess. So close in fact, that they were touching. So very close that he could feel something warm and soft pressing up against his lips. He let out a muffled cry of shock as he finally registered that he was lip locked with the demon- elven princess herself! Just as quick as she'd lunged, Zelda was pulling back, staring into Marth's expression as she straightened and regarded him from her higher position.
Marth's eyes were staring straight ahead, open wide with shock. He was as still as a statue as the moment replayed its self over and over in his head. He was so absorbed in his pure muddle-headedness that he did not notice Zelda's eyes moving from his face, slowly down to a lower area.
"As I thought," she said dryly. "As limp as a-"
"Lets' a get on with th' a assessment then," Dr. Mario exclaimed, proudly keeping the rating of this story from escalating. Zelda nodded her agreement, Peach, a hand over her mouth, also nodded and Marth, continued on staring at nothing in particular. After a few moments of scribbling on some sort of notepad, Dr. Mario jerked his head brusquely and turned to Marth.
"Marth' a ma boy. I have' a verified that' a you are 100 percent' o homosexual."
"Huh...?" Marth, who was still spaced out took a moment to register this. Once his brain set its self back on track his eyes became even wider and his mouth opened to form a grand ol' O.
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU FIGURE THAT!" At that exact same moment the door flew in as if slammed by a sumo wrestler and a familiar figure came soaring in, nearly a blur.
"DR. MARIO," exclaimed Ike as he spun to face the shorter man, completely unaware that there were three other people in the little room. "I JUST REALIZED!
I'M GAY."

25 minutes earlier:
"So I probably shouldn't have told him that..."
"That may have prevented this scenario Samus," Pit observed as the teens crowded around the immobile, frothing figure that lay sprawled over the nearest desk.
"You think he could drown if we don't set him up," Roy asked with a curious glimmer in his eye.
"Hmm. That very well could happen," Ike replied, scratching his chin and making no move to help his unconscious friend.
"Prevented... scenario... very well? What's with you guys," Samus questioned, leaning away from the boys.
"Oh. I guess we were just trying to keep up the intelligent sounding dialogue..., or something," Ike explained with a grin.
"Uh huh... Oh! Did he just twitch there?" The small group moved closer, observing Link with a dispassionate interest.
"Yup. Kinda sounds like he's gurgling too," Pit put in, cupping an ear to hear more clearly. Just then there was a sound of blades slicing and whirring through the air and the students all turned to watch their first period Prof swing in through an open window with a small propeller that was raised over his head. He landed by doing an impressive barrel roll and popping up from behind his desk, his stealth suit hardly wrinkled.
"There are some things about this school... you just have to love," Roy said with a serene smile. He seemed to be a fan of gadgets and gizmos, things they didn't have in his homeland.
"Hey," Professor Snake addressed them in his gravely voice. ", what's up with him?" He gestured to Link, simultaneously pulling out a Swiss army knife and beginning to cut his early morning apple up... with the saw blade.
"Samus knocked him out," Pit explained. Prof Snake gave a low chuckle. "Good for you," he said sincerely. "Now fix him." The four of them sat in silence as the Prof marched out of the classroom, flipping a switch on the wall, likely to activate the security functions...
"Oh God," Roy exclaimed from where he stood, bent down with one ear against the elven boy's chest. His heart isn't beating."
"You're kidding," Ike said unimpressed.
"No, seriously. I think Samus actually sent him into a state of lethal shock."
"Lethal shock," Ike repeated, still sounding rather annoyed by the whole turn of events, i.e.: his best friend going into some form of cardiac arrest.
"Sarry," Samus said with a 'whoopsy daisy' shrug.
"Aw man. Anyone know C.P.R," Roy asked, looking around.
"This is a school... where you learn how to beat people up," Samus responded in a low monotone. "Why would anyone...,"(and she stressed the last word) ",anyone, know how to do C.P.R?"
"Pit, you're an angel, right? You have to be able to do something." Pit shrugged, looking slightly guilty and Roy glared back at the boy.
"Oh yeah. You're Pit of Despair. Sorry for asking."
"Th-that's not funny! It's lame. Really lame," the winged boy cried, his face turning slightly red. Ike rubbed his nose and stepped forward, grabbing the attention of everyone.
"I can do it. C.P.R, I mean. Did some course. Don't ask me why."
"S'all yours then buddy," Roy said gratefully stepping away from the almost-corpse.
Ike leaned in to listen for a heartbeat himself, but only confirmed what Roy had first noticed.
"Damn," he whispered, seriously put out. "Stupid, melodramatic elf," he huffed, positioning his hands and beginning to pump up and down, trying to get the air flowing through his friend again. After counting up to the required number he leaned down to listen again, but still heard nothing. This only left one option.
"You better live..." Ike pinched his friend's nose, leaned in...and began to breathe the breath of life into the half-dead boy. In this moment something strange awoke within Ike. A great epiphany seemed to slam into him like a big truck full of cinder blocks. This felt... good. Link's lips, although cool at the moment... felt way better than any chick's ever had.
Holy hell. I'm gay. I'm frigging gay. Well that would explain why that damn Zero Suit of Samus' never turned me on... Wait... Link's almost dead... does that make me a necrophiliac too? Oh Hell.
"Uh Ike... hasn't it been long enough," Roy asked after many long moments of Ike and Link being hooked together at the face. Ike straightened up and began pumping furiously once again, knowing that he'd probably just killed his friend by performing the C.P.R completely wrong... at least the mouth to mouth part..., but he shot a fake glare over his shoulder anyway, trying to play it smooth.
"Excuse me Roy? Who's the only one here who knows how to do this? Huh? That's right. You... shrug away you. Just shrug. See if it fazes me. See if-"
"Uh, Ike! I think you're good," Samus said, pointing at Link who was gasping and choking, not only from his revival, but also the repeated force that Ike was still administering on his chest every half a second.
"Yeah, you can stop now Ike. I think he's alive," Pit agreed. Ike quickly removed his hands, holding them in the air beside his head.
"Y-You okay... Link?" Link coughed and blinked, disoriented.
"Why do I... taste Fruit Loops?" Ike felt himself colour as he recalled his breakfast that morning.
"Ahem. Who would ever know?" He cast a glance at the other three, one that clearly shouted: 'Do NOT tell him about the C.P.R!'. The looks he received did not give him confidence.
"How long... was I out for," Link asked slowly, moving the tip of his tongue around his lips, trying to get rid of the mysterious 'fruity goodness'. Roy and Pit went into a long and detailed spiel about how it had been four weeks and they'd been watching over him, in his comatose state, the entire time.
As everyone became distracted Ike carefully snuck away from his friends and tip toed to the door. Once he reached it, he bolted, setting off all of Snake's traps and alarms, but escaping every one of them. When Ike finally reached the nurse's office, he knew just what he had to say, and that it had to be now, otherwise he realized he would never find the courage to admit his new discovery out loud.
When he threw down the door and bounded towards the nurse/counsellor, letting it out as soon as his jaw had unhinged... he did not quite remember the tiny detail, that Peach, Zelda and Marth... were also visiting Doctor Mario that morning.
For those of you thinking "Ike you heartless bastard! How could you care so little for our beloved elf idiot(by my representation)!"... do not fret. Link was NOT going to die. He was just acting very over dramatic and ALTHOUGH his hear may have stopped... It was all a wonderfully professional overreaction preformed by a spectacularly cowardly actor. lol
So, once again, I would particulairily love some feedback on this chap, seeing as it's out in the open now that IKE. IS. GAAAY. Whoo! I can scream it! xD So, there should definently be some Actual. Yaoi. Coming up in the near future, cause, as we learned... Marth is (according to Zelda, Peach and Mario...) ALSO GAAAY3. But really... he can't fool us yaoi fans.
Thanks for your continued support. *gives cookies to all my wonderful readers*
