Chapter 10: Commitment
(6th day; 9:14 A.M.)
"You took a bath and now you're lying in the bed again?" Ike's voice startled me.
"Yeah I think… the bed here is just no nice that I don't want to get up!" And I curled myself up with the blanket.
"What are you? A kid? There are 29 days left before the player return. We're not just gonna stay and lie on this room the whole duration."
"You know what? You're right."
I stood up from my bed feeling very refreshed. I stretched my arms and sighed.
"I'm going to get my stuff first." He said and went to get his headband. He tied it around his head and faced me while he tightened the knot on the back.
"Alright! Let's-"
I cut his words by tackling him until we landed on the bed. The position that we had was me embracing him with my body resting on his.
"What's wrong with you!?" He sounded agitated.
"I'm sorry Ike. It's because I love you that I'm doing this." I faked a smile.
I unbuttoned his shirt slowly revealing his chest and his six-pack. Even though this isn't my first time seeing it, it still makes me feel hot. With the mood set, I began to unbutton my shirt as well.
"Marth… I'm sorry." Ike suddenly grasped my wrist. He sounded serious. All of a sudden, I was put down on the bed roughly. My legs were spread and Ike was in between and he was still grasping my wrist.
"If you were to do this with me, I'd prefer to be the dominant than the recessive…" He whispered to my ear sounding like a hungry dog.
Is this true? Did he accidentally drink the potion again? Come to think of it, where did I put it? No, this is the real thing. He really is doing it with me. No potions or anything. And he seems aggressive as well.
He kissed my neck passionately as if there is a hidden desire of lust that he needs to fulfill. I want to move my hands but I can't get loose from his grip.
"Ike… let go- I… don't want to be like a dead fish."
He halted and chuckled.
"Alright…" He let go of his grip and he cupped my cheek. My cheeks are probably blushing right now. The feeling of someone cupping your cheek is an entirely different level of happiness.
He slowly leans his face closer… and I just closed my eyes preparing for his actions. Slowly, our lips began to press each other softly. It was different kind of kiss. It wasn't a kiss of lust but it was gentle. It was better than our previous kisses. This wasn't forced or caused by any potion. He slowly raised his head and I opened my eyes. His face is so attractive.
"Ike… you… does this mean you like me as well?" He responded with a smile.
"No… it's different. I never thought I would do this but I'm… returning your feelings even though I said I wouldn't."
I chuckled. Even though he won't say those words, I still love him. But… I can't help but feel guilty for my past actions.
"I want to apologize… for being so lustful towards you." I said with all my heart.
I felt him jerked.
"Eh…ehehe… let's forget about it. (I'm surprised you can say it straight.)" He had a cold sweat for a second there.
"So… are we in good terms?" I asked.
"I think… we're already in good terms." He smiled in the most handsome way as possible. It was so radiant that my gaze was so locked to him.
"So Ike… can you continue returning my feelings?" I teased.
"Hmph." He made a worried smile.
I closed my eyes and I felt his hands doing something to my clothes. Later, I'm starting to feel nothing of his presence. I slowly opened my eyes and I realized that my shirt was buttoned and Ike was standing just beside the door. He looks fixed as well.
"Let's go Marth. We should hang out with the other smashers as well." Oh… so we're not doing it. I would be lying if I claim that I'm not disappointed.
"Fine." I stood up and he opened the door for me.
"Ike…" I murmured but loud enough to let him hear me.
"Did you say something?"
"Someday… I'll make you fall in love with me." I uttered.
He looked surprised. That's nice. I like that expression.
"You have 29 days free from brawls for you to accomplish that." He said.
He had an eager expression as if he just accepted a challenge. Well, it is true. After 29 days, we might only have a few times to hang out, talk or even see each other. But… I'm determined to do this commitment. I swear to make him fall in love with me.
We walked to the exit of the Smash Central. As the door slid open by itself, a gentle breeze swept soothingly through my face. The sun blinded my sight first. All I heard was seagulls twittering and the sound of splash from the water. My sight began to clear.
"Marth, let's go."
-The End-
I like making cliffhanger endings XD. I would like to recap everything that happened in this fiction.
Peach and Zelda never knew that Marth is in love with Ike. They all thought it was with a girl. This is also true on other smashers as well. Also, I prefer relationships in secret. It must probably reflect on my secretive nature. The player wouldn't be around for 1 month so everyone can have a little break. Master Hand also remodeled the Smash Central into a luxurious like hotel. Also, Ike still doesn't know about the potion incident.
I tried my hardest to make every character in the Super Smash Bros to be present in the story. It is even difficult to have them play a role in the story.
I plan on making a part two of this story which is about Marth as he struggles to make Ike love him facing many obstacles on his way. However, that part will be told according to Ike's POV.
If you are wondering what Marth saw, you'll know in the next story or perhaps, you already have a clue :D .
Thank you to the people who read this and please review so I could improve :D.
