Chapter Twelve- Truth Be Told I…

Along with the strange truth coming out of everyone's mouth, Marth wakes up fat one morning, and Roy guesses he's pregnant. Ike starts thinking that everyone wants him gone, especially Roy, and starts believing he's a horrible person for everything he's done in his life to hurt others. Just as he is about to commit suicide, someone tries to end his life for him.

-Marth-

It's a week after Mordecai's and Elis's passing. We went to the funeral, and I made a total embarrassment of myself. I couldn't stop crying and Ike and Kent both comforted me for then I've visited my father's grave every day.

"Marth, come on, you've got to eat something." I hear Kent try to persuade me again.

We're sitting at the dining room table. Only Kuro is still sitting here, but he'll leave in a minute I'm guessing. Everyone else is already done eating and Ike went back to sleep. I sigh and turn farther away from him.

"Marth you need to eat. You'll get sick if you don't." Kent says as he softly puts a hand on my shoulder.

I turn around to him and lay against his side. Even though I know he's frustrated with me, he puts his arm around me.

"Kent I know you're just worried that I might get sick, but I'm just not hungry. I'm not going to eat anything no matter how hard you try to get me to." I point out.

"Yeah I know but I at least wanted to try. You know, it at least shows I care." He holds me tighter.

Kuro lays his head down on the table, pushing his plate away from him. I watch as he does that, looking right at me the whole time. I sigh and pull away from Kent and stand up. He watches me sadly, but gets up with me.

I pick up my plate to clean it up, but Kent takes it from me. I look at him in confusion. He takes it and goes into the kitchen. I sigh, but look at Kuro.

"You should be happy he wants to clean up your messes. Pit never does anything like that for me." Kuro points out as he sits up.

I chuckle quietly and look away. "Yeah, but you and Pit are brothers. Kent isn't my brother." I point out quietly.

"That's true. I still don't see why he can't clean up my plate for me though." Kuro complains as he goes into the kitchen with his plate.

Kent comes back out just as Kuro goes in. He comes up to me and just as I go to turn around, he sweeps me off my feet and carries me up stairs. I look up at him in confusion again. He lays me down softly on our bed, then turns and closes the door.

He gets back on the bed and stands on his hands and knees over me. I look up at him. He lifts his hands and puts them on the head board. I stretch out and put my one arm behind my head. He sits down on my stomach carefully, as not to squish me.

"Marth, you're beautiful." He softly strokes my cheek as he stares at me through half closed eyes.

I blush and look away, smiling at his cute compliments.

"Look at me." I hear Kent whisper, but I don't turn my head.

My face turns an even deeper shade of red. He softly turns my head toward him. I smile shyly again. He leans down and softly presses his lips to mine. I kiss back, smiling through the kiss. He pulls away and holds the sides of my head, his fingers tangled in my hair.

"I love you." He whispers.

"I love you too." I whisper back.

"Marth, there's several things I want to tell you, so please, hear me out." He sits up on my stomach again.

I stare at him expectantly.

"Marth you are my entire life. I love you more than anything and everything. You are beautiful and talented, and you are an amazing cook." I blush and go to look away, but Kent softly cups my face in his hands so I can't look away from him. "You are extremely intelligent and I feel so horrible to know all the terror you've had in your life. I promise I'll try to make your life better from now on." He leans down and softly presses his lips to mine.

I smile as we kiss again.

"I love you Kent. You're so sweet." We kiss again. "I'm very lucky to have you."

"I…" We kiss again, this time it's longer. "Think it's…" We kiss again as I feel his hands start rubbing my sides, then slipping up underneath my shirt. "The other way around."

"You're to kind," I say flatly, but I smile at him.

He smiles back and kisses me again. Just as he slips my shirt up and starts to take it off, our door opens. We both look over in embarrassment. Kuro is standing in the doorway, holding several papers.

"Marth, I have something I want to read to you. I also have something I want to read to you too, Mr. Kent. Okay, Marth. Listen to this. I wrote it just for you. Marth, you are-"

"Kuro, can this wait until later?" I interrupt him before he can finish the first sentence.

"No, it can't. I must tell you now." He insists.

"Why don't you go tell everyone else first, then you can come tell me." I suggest.

He sighs, but turns and leaves, closing the door behind him. I look back to Kent as he completely removes my shirt and presses his lips to mine again.

-Kuro-

"Father!" I call as I run down stairs.

I got into the living room and see him sitting on the couch, Ike lying on him, asleep.

"What is it Kuro? And stop yelling." He says as I run in front of him.

"Oh, sorry. Anyway, I wrote something. Actually, I wrote a lot of things. I wrote a whole paper on each of you. See?" I hold the papers out to him. "I have one for you, and one for brother Pit, and one for Mr. Ike, and one for Mr. Kent, and one for Marth. I also had one for Mr. Elis, but I hid that one so Marth couldn't find it so he wouldn't get sad again."

"Wow, Kuro that's really cool. Have you read them to anyone yet?" He asks.

"No, I just tried to read Marth's to him, but he told me to do it later because he was busy with Kent. I mean, I could definitely tell he was busy… But it's not like I don't find Marth attractive already so…." I blush and look away.

"Kuro!" Roy yells at me, but he doesn't sound angry.

"What?! I do!" I shrug.

"I know, but I don't want to hear about it. It's just… Awkward." He chuckles.

"Do you want to hear your paper?" I ask as I look through them to find his.

"Sure." Roy looks at me expectantly.

"Okay!" I blush a little, and go to start, but stop.

I look up at him. He's watching me. Quietly and smiling, but he's still looking at me.

"Is there something wrong?" He asks.

"N-no… Just…" I look back down at the paper.

I still can't seem to start reading. He's still looking at me.

"Stop looking at me." I whisper, blushing more.

"Okay," I hear him laugh quietly as he looks away.

"Okay, I'll read now." I look back down at the paper and take a deep breath.

"Father, ever since you found me and my brother in the forest, I knew you'd be the one to take care of us. I love living with you and everyone else, and I love being with you. I love that you make me food, and I love that you let me and Pit love each other and you don't care.

I don't like that you hurt Marth, but I know Marth still likes you, so it's okay. I know you just want Marth to be happy. I like that you took care of Ike when he was sick, because I know you would do the same for me.

You comfort me when I'm hurt or angry, and when I had the demon you weren't ever angry with me, no matter what I did. I love your hair, and I love that you let me play with it sometimes. I also love how nice you are to both of us.

I love it when you hug me because the only other person that had hugged me before was Pit. No one ever loved us before you, and when we found you we finally knew what it was like to be loved. Oh… Ummm, when you found us, I mean.

Out of all the things I love about being here, I love you the most. You take care of me when I'm hurt, and you still take care of me when I'm not. You take care of my brother too, and that means a lot to me. You gave us a home when we had nowhere to go. And for everything you've done for us, I'm very grateful.

Thank you for taking care of me and Pit. Thank you for being there when I had no one. Thank you for loving me. I'm very happy and proud to call you my father." I blush as I look up and see him smiling at me, his eyes half closed.

He holds his arms out to me. I move closer and press myself to him. He wraps his arms tightly around me. I smile as I feel him kiss the side of my head several times.

"Father, I love you, but can you please let go? I have to go tell Pit his and then Marth and Mr. Kent. I'll cuddle with you later," I try to slip out of his arms, but he holds me tighter.

"But I want to cuddle with you now…" Roy tightens his arms around me, but I know he's just playing.

"But father…!" I whine and push on his arms more.

"Okay," He sighs and lets me go.

I stand up and turn around to him. He smiles at me.

"What you wrote was very sweet, Kuro. It makes me really happy to know how much you appreciate me. I love you." He leans forward and softly kisses my cheek.

I smile, a faint blush on my cheeks.

"I love you too father. I'm going to go tell Pit his now." I turn and run upstairs.

I get to the top of the stairs, and run into my room. I see Pit sitting on the bed. He looks up as I come in. I jump up onto the bed, dropping feathers on the floor and the bed.

"Kuro! I just cleaned up all the feathers!" Pit yells at me as he brushes my feathers off the bed.

"Sorry," I look down in shame.

"No, it's fine. What are you in here for? I thought you had something for Marth?" He questions.

"I do, but he's busy with Kent right now, so I went to father for a little while. Now I'm here to talk to you. I wrote a paper about you and I wanted to read it to you." I say as I look through my stack of papers until I find his.

"Okay… Well what is it about?" He asks again.

"You. Okay, you can't watch me while I read; I get nervous, so look away." I watch as he looks away. "Good."

I look down at the paper, unaware of him looking back to me.

"Pit, we have been together all our lives. Obviously, we're twins. But you have never left my side, and I have never left yours. I have always been here to protect you, and you have done the same. I love you as my brother, my friend and my lover.

If you ever stop loving me, just remember I will always still love you. I promise you that I will keep you safe and I will comfort you when you are angry or sad. Before I was brought to the church I said we were going to get married and you agreed to it, so when we are older I will get you the ring and we will really get married.

Even though I love Marth and you love Ike, we still really love each other and I hope we always will. I love you, Pit. I've spent my whole life protecting you, and I plan to continue doing so. I love you Pit Icarus." I look up at him, gasping as I see him looking at me. "Pit! Why are you looking?" I ask in a whiney voice.

"I'm sorry! But Kuro, I thought your speech thing was really adorable! That's so sweet Kuro, I' m so happy you still love me so much. I'm surprised you still love me that much." I watch as Pit stands up and crawls over the bed to me.

He sits down in front of me and leans against me, smiling. I lean forward and kiss him, smiling as I feel him kiss back.

"Of course I still love you. I'll always still love you." I whisper quietly. "But I have to go talk to Marth now, so I will come back soon." I pull away a little.

"Okay, I'll be in here when you're done." Pit sighs, but he moves away from me.

I get up and run out of the room, closing the door behind me. I run across the hall to Marth's room. I knock on the door, but I get no reply. I open the door slightly. I see Marth and Kent lying in bed, asleep. Kent is laying half on top of Marth, who is lying on his stomach with his one arm being used as his pillow, even though he has one underneath his arm.

I notice Kent has one arm hanging off the bed, the other on top of Marth's head. His face is buried in the prince's soft blue hair. I sigh in disappointment, then back out of the room. I feel my eyes widen in surprise as Kent turns his head and looks at me through half closed eyes.

"Sorry he fell asleep before you could tell him. He just suddenly got really tired and fell asleep." He whispers.

"Oh, it's okay… I can tell him later. I made some mistakes anyway; I've got to fix them." I turn around and go to close the door.

"Kuro, you want to stay until he wakes up? You can, I don't care." Kent says as he lies his head back down on Marth.

"I can? Like, with you and Marth?" I come back in the room, a little excited.

"Yes, Marth told me about the deal he made with you. As far as I'm concerned, you haven't done anything to not be able to. Besides, he'll wake up if I move so you should sleep on him so I can move." He suggests.

"Really? I can lay on him? Okay!" I close the door and run over to them.

I stare up at him happily. I watch as he carefully slip off Marth and lies beside him. I put my papers down on the nightstand beside the bed, then carefully climb up on top of Marth. I let my legs slip off him and lay down on top of him. I burry my face into his hair like Kent did, smiling as I take a deep breath.

I blush as he warm vanilla scent fills my head. I wrap my arms around his neck, but not tightly so he doesn't wake up. I feel Marth move a little as Kent presses against him and pull shim against his chest. I know he's lying with Marth and not 'me' and Marth, but I can't help but smile because he's still lying with me… In a way.

I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep.

-Later-

I hear a voice. No, two voices. I slowly open my eyes. I am no longer on Marth. I'm still on the bed, but neither prince nor knight are on the bed. I look around as I sleepily sit up. I can hear them, but I don't see them. Just after the bedroom door opens.

Marth comes in the room, followed by Kent and Ike. Roy stands just outside the doorway. I watch as Marth runs into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Kent watches him, looking very worried.

"There you are Kuro, I was wondering where you were." I look over at my father as I hear his voice.

"I've just been in here. Is Marth okay?" I ask as I stretch, then slip off the bed.

"Umm… We're not sure yet. Don't worry though; I'm sure he's fine." The ginger reassures me.

I look over as Kent goes into the bathroom, having heard Marth call his name. I tip my head to the side, wondering what happened while I was asleep. After a couple quiet minutes Kent comes back out of the bathroom holding Marth. The blue haired prince is lying against his chest, his eyes closed and looking very stressed.

Kent lays him down on the bed where he was earlier. Ike comes over to the two and looks down at him.

"Kent, let us know if it happens again and we'll take him to the hospital." Roy says, then grabs the collar of Ike's shirt and pulls him out of the room roughly.

I watch in confusion as he closes the door. I hear quiet voices, and they sound extremely angry. I back away a little, hitting the side of the bed.

I look behind me. Kent is sitting over Marth, his orange eyes clouded with worry.

"What happened?" I ask quietly.

"I'm not really sure, but while we were downstairs he fainted for no reason and once he woke up he kept coughing up blood." Kent softly strokes his lover's face as he sighs.

"Oh…" I look down at Marth in worry. "I really don't want to go out there, Father sounds really angry. Can I stay here a little longer?" I ask quietly.

"Yeah, I guess." Kent lies down against Marth.

I watch as he pulls the prince against him and buries his face into the side of his face. He sits there for a second, then pulls away and does the same thing to his neck. He holds Marth tighter, almost squeezing the prince.

"Do you think it's because I laid on him?" I ask in a whisper, scared of his answer.

"No, you're not heavy enough for that. I don't think…" He sighs and softly rubs Marth's stomach with his thumb.

"Well if it was me… I'm sorry," I whisper as I turn away.

"It wasn't you Kuro." Kent repeats as he buries his face into Marth's neck.

-Ike-

I follow Roy to the end of the hall. He goes in our room. Just as I'm about to follow, he slams the door shut on my face. I sit and stare at the door for a second, then sigh.

"Roy, please let me in." I lean against the door after turning the handle and finding it locked.

"No. Go away Ike." He replies.

"Please, come on, we can't make this any better if you keep me out." I put my hand on the door.

"No!" He snaps.

"Roooyyyy," I press against the door more, my voice pleading. "Please let me in."

"I said no, Ike. What part of that do you not get?" I hear the red-head's angered voice.

"Apparently all of it." I stand up straight again. "Roy, please, just open the door. Don't you want to-"

"Don't you pull that crap on me." I hear him snap again.

"Why can't we just talk civilly? What have I done to make you so angry? Why are you even angry?" I ask.

"Go away. It's none of your business." He huffs.

"I'm your lover Roy. Yes it is." I point out.

"'Lover'? Oh please, the only person that works on is Marth." He retorts.

"What? Roy, honestly stop being so childish and just let me in." I demand, getting a little angry myself.

"No."

I clench a fist in frustration. I want to break down the door, but I don't. I take a deep breath, then slowly let it out.

"Roy," I start slowly.

"Shut up Ike. I don't want to hear it."

I feel my gut heat with anger. The kind of anger that makes you want to strangle some random person you've never met for no reason.

"Dammit Roy, all I want to do is help you feel better but if you keep being such an ass neither of us are going to start feeling any better." I finally snap at him.

"Don't even try to pull that crap either, Ike." He sounds as if he's threatening me, but I can't see him so I don't know what he's even doing.

"I love you Roy, I just want t-"

"Dammit Ike! Shut up! Just shut the hell up! I don't care if you love me or if you hate my guts! I am not letting you in!" I take a couple steps away from the door.

I turn and walk away, clenching my fists and my jaw. I start downstairs and out the front door quickly. I walk into the woods, not really paying attention to where I'm going. I get to a large cliff. It looks out over the forest.

I sit and stare out at the forest, my mind blank in anger. The trees look like fluffy, green pillows laid out across the land. I sigh and sit down in the grass and fallen leaves. I guess the only thing I can do is leave Roy alone now.

I don't notice someone come up behind me until a small, supple hand rest on my shoulder. I jump and whip around. I see the all to familiar blue haired prince smile down at me.

"You like this spot too?" He asks quietly.

I don't answer him. I just turn back to the forest. I hear leaves softly rustle, so I look back. I'm surprised to see that Marth is gone. I sigh. Wait… How did he get away from Kent? Does Kent know he's gone? Did he hear Roy and I fighting?

I hear leaves rustling again, but from a different direction this time. I look up. I give the prince a questioning glance.

"What, even with one arm I can climb you know. I'm not completely crippled." Marth scoffs as he lies down on the branch he's on.

I look away again, but I can't help but feel that the branch will break and fall on me. I stand up.

"Hey! Where are you go-ING!" The end of his sentence is more of a yelp as I watch him slip of the branch.

I jump forward just as he's falling and catch him quickly. I look down at the prince. His blue eyes are tightly shut and he's clutching my shirt. He opens his eyes slowly when he realizes that he's not falling anymore.

He looks up at me and blushes. I set him down on his feet. He looks away shamefully.

"Thanks Ike," He whispers in embarrassment. "But I've fallen out of that tree a lot; you didn't have to do that."

I just roll my eyes and walk over to the large rock near a tree. I sit down on the edge. Marth comes over to me, seemingly very interested in the rock that's under my ass. He sits down politely behind me.

"You know, this is where Kent and I sat the first day he came to visit me." Marth tells me.

I feel something press to my back. I look over my shoulder and see Marth leaning against me. He smiles and closes his eyes, wrapping his arm around his stomach. I can tell just by looking at his happy smile and cute blush that he's remembering that time.

Wait… Cute blush? His blush is not cute?! Is it? Last time I checked I didn't think he was cute! I mean, when I was a little kid I did, but that was a long time ago! I realize that his mouth is moving, but I'm not hearing anything. I shake my head to clear my thoughts.

"-O cute! Oh Ike, do you remember when we were little I would call you Ikeus?" Marth asks as he looks up at me.

I nod my head yes slowly. He huffs and sits up.

"Ikeus, did you lose your voice or something? You haven't said anything the entire time I've been here!" Marth drapes himself over my back and rests his chin on my head.

He wraps his one arm around my neck. I feel a pang in my heart as I find myself expecting his other arm to do the same. I look up at him. He's staring out at the forest.

"Ike, do you miss father?" His voice is suddenly quiet and filled with sadness.

I don't answer. I look down at the leaves, suddenly finding them extremely interesting. I hear him sigh. He knows I do, why would he ask? Maybe he just wanted to hear me say it to be sure. I feel something slip under my headband, then tugs it off.

I growl to myself as my hair falls down in front of my eyes. I brush it out of the way and reach up. I feel Marth's chest. I quickly pull my hand back, my face flushed. I stand up, forgetting that he was leaning on me.

I turn around quickly. I don't see Marth on the rock, so I look down. He's half off the rock, his face straight down in the leaves and grass. He's holding my headband in his hand. I reach down and help him up.

His head is down, so I lean down and look at him. I gasp as I see blood dripping off the tip of his nose. I reach forward and softly dry the blood from his nose. Thankfully it's not bad, so more blood doesn't come back.

"I'm sorry." I whisper as I pull him up against my chest.

He looks up at me and puts his hand on my chest.

He leaves my headband resting on my chest, then moves his hand again.

"I didn't mean to make you mad," His voice is quieter than mine was.

"No, Marth, you didn't make me mad. I just didn't even realize that it was you who did that. I didn't mean to make your nose bleed either." I wrap my arms tighter around his midriff.

"So you do have a voice," He looks up at me and smiles jokingly.

I can't help but smile back at how cute he looks. We're silent for a couple minutes. I sit and take in the sight of the beautiful prince in my arms. His perfect blue hair, his thick eyelashes, which are wet and slightly clumped together from his crying, the barely visible blush, all of it is magnificent.

What was I thinking? For so long I lived with this beautiful man! What am I doing wasting my life with Roy, who obviously doesn't love me like I love him, when I could have been with this gorgeous prince? Because I beat him. Because I abused him and raped him.

I treated him the same way his real father did. He didn't even know that happened to him for a long time, and he was still scarred from it. All those nights he woke me up screaming because he was having horrid nightmares of people he's never seen raping him and abusing him.

How could I do that same thing to him? I was supposed to be there for him, and for a while I was. Until we met Roy, we were so close and he trusted me with his life. Once I fell in love with Roy, I started feeling strangely protective about him.

It hurt when Marth moved in with Roy and I didn't. We were still together, but my brother was living with him and not me. I started getting suspicious about Roy cheating on me with him, so I brought up me moving in or Roy coming to live with me.

He decided to move in with me, but after one night of leaving Marth all alone in a huge empty house, I felt bad. I went back and got him, demanding that he also lives with me. I heard him talking in his sleep one night about how he was so in love with Roy, and I got worried that something was going on between them, and I didn't think before I started beating him.

I kept doing it after that. I felt safer that he wasn't doing anything to take Roy from me when I did that. I had scared him so much that I often found him hiding in his room clutching his head and mumbling over and over 'stay away from him', which is what I kept telling him when I hurt him.

He would run away from me when I saw him outside. Sometimes he was gone for days at a time when he'd run away from me. I even went as far as to hold his face down on the stove and rape him, trying to keep him away from Roy.

It's surprising he'll even look at me. Sometimes he still flinches when I do something as simple as look at him. No one knows I've done any of this but Marth. I hear a muffled, but sharp, cry. I look up quickly. I'm clutching Marth to me so hard he probably already has bruises.

I quickly loosen my grip, but I don't let him go. I hear a sigh of relief, then watch as he rubs his side where I was grabbing him. I look at him worriedly.

"Here, let me see it." I sit up and move him from my lap.

I reach forward to move his shirt, but he pushes my hand away.

"No," He denies me.

"Come on, I just want to make sure I didn't leave a bruise or something." I insist and try again, leaning over him as he leans backward.

"No." He states again.

"Come on Marth, don't you start doing this too." I growl as he leans back more.

"Why were you looking like that earlier? Why are you looking at me like that now?" He asks, his voice quivering in fear.

"What?" I ask in confusion as I lean forward more, my headband falling from my chest.

"L-like that!" He backs up more, but without his other arm he falls on his back.

I carefully lift him back up with one arm around his lower back and the other around his shoulders. He puts his hand on my chest and tries to push me away. I warily wrap my fingers around his small wrist and pull his hand up near my face.

I kiss the back of his hand softly and slowly. Marth watches me, now confused. I put his hand back down and unhurriedly open his shirt. He lets me, blushing. I push the light blue tunic off his sides and look at him.

"At least I didn't leave any marks," I sigh in relief.

"W-why were you holding me so tight anyway?" The beautiful man asks.

"I was just getting angry with myself, don't worry about it." I shake him off.

I look back to his flat, un-muscled stomach. The moonlight is making his skin have a silvery glow. I look up at him. He's blushing hard. His hair has a beautiful sheen to it, making it more radiant than normal. He looks like an angel without wings. I lean forward a little more.

I pull Marth a little closer and press my forehead to his. My eyes are half closed, but I can clearly see him staring at me in wide, shocked eyes. I turn my head and rub my cheek against his. I press my forehead against the side of his face.

"Marth I'm so sorry." I nuzzle his cheek softly.

"Sorry?" I hear him repeat. "For what?" I feel a hand on my shoulder softly.

"For everything I've ever done to you. All the times I hurt you, all the times I locked you outside, and raped you, and tortured you. I'm so sorry." I whisper into his soft hair.

He's silent for a moment. "Aren't you a bit late to apologize?" He replies finally.

"Yes, very, very late. I shouldn't have done it in the first place. I'm so sorry." I feel tears come to my eyes as I hold his head with both hands, keeping my face pressed into the side of his head.

He doesn't reply at all this time. I feel him moving slightly against me. I pull away slightly and look down at him. He's crying, quickly drying each tear as it rolls down his cheek. I must have brought back horrible memories for him. I reach forward and softly dry his tears for him. He pushes my hand away from him.

"No, no, look away Ike. You're not supposed to see me cry over this," He lowers his head.

"Why?" I ask as I lift his head again with one finger under his chin.

"Because I feel so stupid and weak when I cry in front of you. I always have." He admits quietly.

"Well I don't think you're stupid and weak for crying. I think you're very strong for crying in front of me. Considering what I did to you, I think you're strong because you can still even look at me." I softly stroke the side of his face.

"I can't ignore you, even if I wanted to." He mumbles.

"Why not?" I reply.

"Because I love you. I can't ignore people I love. You're my brother, not matter whether we're not really blood related or not." The blue haired prince looks up at me.

Just as he looks up, I lean down and press my lips to his. I don't feel him kiss back. I pull away after a short kiss.

"Sorry," I mumble.

Just after finishing my apology, he grabs the back of my head and forces our lips together again. I kiss back past my surprise. We pull away slightly, then kiss again. We kiss several times quickly. I wrap my arms around him, holding the back of his head with one hand.

I feel his hand in my hair. I run my tongue lightly across Marth's bottom lip, silently asking for his permission. My tongue is eagerly met by his. I push his tongue down and explore his wet, warm mouth, hearing him moan as I do.

I pull my tongue out of his mouth and pull away. A thin trail of saliva connects our lips. His eyes are half closed and his attractive face is dark red.

"I want you to make love to me, Ike," He whispers against my lips as we kiss again.

"What about Kent?" I ask as we break apart, but I start slipping downwards, kissing his neck and jaw.

"He doesn't need to know." Marth replies as his hand holds my side.

"Are you really about to put your marriage in danger?" I look up at him.

"Shut up and keep kissing me." He grabs my head and forces our lips into a tight lock.

-Kuro-

I curl up tighter into a ball, moaning from the warmth. Even though I just woke up I still feel so sleepy. I feel my legs start aching in need to stretch. I inhale deeply as I stretch out. I let it out as I finish stretching. After yawning, I roll over and cuddle up to his chest.

… Wait a second… Marth has muscles?

I think to myself as I sit up. I see Kent laying against me, his muscled arm draped over me. Where's Marth? When did he leave? I look around the room. I slip out of his arms and go over to the door. I leave and go over to my father's room.

I knock on the door quietly.

"If that's you, Ike, I suggest you just leave now." He still sounds angry.

"Uh… Father, it's me," I call out quietly.

"Oh, come in." I open the door and slip into the room.

It's completely dark. I close the door and stand there, letting my eyes adjust to the dark. Once my eyes are used to it, I can see Roy sitting on his bed against the head board. I walk over to him slowly.

"How come you're angry with Ike?" I ask almost silently.

"Don't worry about that." He denies me quickly.

"Okay…" I look down at the floor, trying to remember why I came here in the first place. "Oh, where is Marth?" I ask as I remember.

"He's gone? Kent let him leave?" The red-head asks in anger.

"Well… Not really, He's still asleep. I woke up and he was gone. He put me where he was so Kent wouldn't wake up." I explain.

He just glares up at the ceiling. I back away slowly and go back to the door. I go back out it without him noticing.

-Ike-

I help Marth fix his shirt as he fixes his hair as much as he can with one hand. We're both still panting. I lean forward and slowly lick his jaw to his chin, cleaning the last drops of his semen off his face.

"Please promise me Roy will never find out about this." I whisper as I lean a little closer.

Marth presses his lips to mine in a short, sweet kiss. I can tell by the quiet moan that he can taste himself on my lips.

"It's our secret, which means the same thing goes for you. Kent can't ever find out about this." Marth agrees.

I stand up, then help him do the same. I look at him, then down the trail that leads back home.

"Come with me." I whisper into the prince's ear as I take his hand and start down toward the house.

He walks beside me, still trying to catch his breath. I notice and stop. He looks at me confusedly. I pick him up and hold him bridal style. I keep walking.

"Why are you carrying me? I can walk on my own you know." Marth points out.

"You're still trying to catch your breath. You'll never do it if you keep walking. Besides, aren't you tired?" I look down at him as I start toward town.

"Where are we going?" He changes the subject.

I don't answer. I just keep walking. We walk in silence for the whole walk. When we get to the large, black fence around the cemetery, Marth looks up at me.

"I thought you'd want to visit father," I whisper as I put him down.

I take his hand again and lead him toward our father's grave. We know exactly where it is. Neither of us can forget a single detail about that day. We stop in front of the large cross with his name engraved neatly on it.

I feel Marth press a little closer to me. I look down at him. Tears mar his baby blue eyes. I wrap my arm around him comfortingly. I feel him trembling as he cries into my side. I softly stroke his back as I keep staring down at the green grass, where just underneath our dearest father lies, lifeless.

"Ike, why did we come here?" Marth asks, his voice muffled because of my side.

I don't answer. I keep staring at the ground. What can I tell him? If I tell him the truth, he'll cry more. He'll cry more, and he'll be hurt and broken more than he is now. I let my arm slip off him slowly.

"Ike, answer me." Marth tugs on my shirt slightly.

"I've… Roy doesn't love me anymore, all three of my fathers have died now, I don't feel like I'm even wanted by you anymore. What reason do I have to live anymore? If I die, I can be with all of them again." I feel the small prince clutch my side tighter.

"No! No, Ike, don't do it!" He pleas. "I do still want you! I love you, Ike! You can't leave me here alone!"

"You won't be alone. You're getting married, you have someone. The one person I've loved my entire life hates me and I don't even know why. I know my father would want me if I were th-"

"No! I won't let you do it!" Marth stands up and stands in front of me, holding my shirt tightly. "You can't leave me! Think about everyone else! We all love you Ike! We all want you to live and we all want you!"

"But Mar-"

"No! Don't you ever bring that up again!" He yells at me, tears still streaming down his cheeks. "Don't ever bring that up again," He repeats, but as a whisper this time.

I stare down at him blankly. He looks back up at me again. He stares at me with hurt eyes. He's been through so much more than I have, I must seem so weak to him. What kind of a brother am I to him if I crack like this under such little pressure?

He had been through more before he was even six, I can't possibly try to get him to understand something so miniscule compared to every little horror his been through.

"You're not going to, are you?" His voice cracks as soon as he speaks.

I just stare at him, unable to say anything. I want to, I want to comfort him and tell him I will never leave him, but I just can't. I can't say those words. I'm not the one who should say that to him. I lost my chance a long time ago.

I can promise to keep protecting him and loving him as his brother, but I don't even deserve to say that. I can't promise something I can't keep.

"Ike please." He whines as he keeps staring up at me with pleading eyes.

Please what? Please lie to you about being able to protect you and be here for you? Please don't die because of some stupid reason?

"Ike just answer me!" He starts sobbing again, burying his face into my chest. "Why won't you answer me? Don't we all mean anything to you? We've spent our whole lives together. Yes, you hurt me a lot, but you're my brother no matter what, and brothers don't do things like this. Brothers don't abandon the ones he loves."

I grab his shoulders and pull him off me. He looks up at me confusedly. I lean down and kiss him softly, tears coming and edging my eyes. I look down at him when I pull away.

"I'm sorry Marth." Is all I can muster up to say aloud.

"W-what?" He stutters in puzzlement.

I let go of him and turn to leave, but he grabs my arm. I look at him again.

"Can you at least give us a chance? Please, Ike, just let us try and help you. G-give, give as a week, at most. Please, I'm begging you Ike." He takes a couple steps forward.

I want to say no, I want desperately to say no and get away from him, but I don't. I nod my head yes slowly. Marth's eyes get wide.

"Really? You'll give us a chance to make things right again?" He comes up to me and presses against me.

"Yes." I mumble as I stare down at him.

"I promise we'll change everything. I don't know how, but I'll prove to you that we all want you and we all love you." Marth lets me go and turns around.

I watch as he bows his head momentarily, then lifts his head again. He turns back to me. We start back toward the house. We get up to the house. I see Roy outside looking around frantically.

"Marth!" I hear him call out loudly.

He turns and sees the prince beside me. He runs up to us and grabs Marth by his arms.

"There you are! Marth, why are you out of bed?" He demands. He turns to me. "Dammit Ike, you brought him out here didn't you? You know he's sick!" He snaps at me.

"Stop yelling at him!" Marth snaps back at the red-head. "I came outside on my own! He had nothing to do with it!"

Roy is silent for a moment, then turns and starts pulling Marth with him.

"Come on, you need to get back to bed. Kent is worried sick about you." He grumbles.

I watch as they go inside. Marth looks back at me worriedly. I sigh as Roy shuts the door. I go up to it and go inside quietly. I see Marth being hugged tightly by his fiancé in the living room. Kuro and Pit are sitting on the couch, and Roy is nowhere to be seen.

"I was so worried about you Marth! Where were you? Did you get hurt? Are you okay?" Kent asks in a hurry as he looks over the prince.

"I'm fine, Kent." Marth blushes as he looks away.

"Good. Now come on, you need to rest." He takes Marth's hand and they start toward their room.

Marth goes to start up the stairs, but Kent picks him up.

"I can go upstairs myself," Marth mumbles.

"You were coughing up blood earlier, Marth. I don't want you to stress yourself out." I hear Kent reply as they disappear upstairs.

I look down at the floor. I suddenly feel something against my leg. I look over. Kuro looks up at me with wide, crimson eyes.

"Are you okay Mr. Ike? You look really depressed." The small, black winged angel asks.

"I'm fine." I lie as I look away.

"No you're not." Pit comes up in front of me. "We're angels, Mr. Ike; we can tell when people are hurt. Besides, just looking at you we can tell there's something wrong. What is it?" The angel sits down in front of me.

"It's nothing you two need to know about." I say quietly.

"Why not? We care about you, so we want to help you feel better." Pit moves a little closer and pulls on my legs.

I sit down in front of him. He sits in between my legs. Kuro climbs up onto my shoulders and wraps one arm around my neck. He nuzzles my cheek softly.

"Mr. Ike, is Marth gonna be okay?" Kuro asks.

"I think so, he was fine earlier." I look over at him.

"Okay, good. Where did you and Marth go?" Pit questions as he moves closer, putting one hand on my chest.

"We went to go visit father." I tell him honestly.

"Oh," Pit suddenly looks ashamed for asking.

I softly run my fingers through his hair.

"It's okay." I reassure him.

"So… Do you think I could get Marth to love me if I covered myself with peanut butter?" Kuro whispers in my ear.

I feel my face get a little warm with his question.

"What do you mean by 'love you', because that would probably make him eat you rather than love you." I point out.

"I would love you Kuro." Pit nods his head yes as he speaks, obviously having heard his question.

"I know you would, but I want Marth to love me too." Kuro looks down at his brother.

"What is just having me not enough?" Pit glares at his twin.

"Why can't I love Marth? You love Ike!" He points out loudly.

"Kuro!" Pit gasps, his face completely red.

"Oh yeah…" They both look at me, their faces red.

Pit goes to get up and move away, but I wrap my arms around his stomach and pull him back against me.

"It's fine Pit, you know I already knew about that." I whisper as I pull him against my chest.

Kuro wraps both his arms around my neck and buries his face into my spiky, blue hair. Pit puts his head back and looks up at me. I smile halfheartedly at him. He smiles back and wiggles around until he's facing me.

He's still lying between my legs. I stroke the back of his head and hold his lower back. Was this what Marth meant? That at least Pit cares? Why are they suddenly acting like this anyway? Do they know?

"Ike, I need to…" Pit pulls away, his face red. "I need to go back to my room."

He pulls away quickly and runs up stairs. I watch him confusedly. Maybe I was a little wrong…

"I'm gonna go see why he left." Kuro sighs.

He goes to get off me, but I stand up. He holds onto me tighter. I go upstairs and to their room.

-Pit-

I climb up onto my bed and sit against the headboard. This must be how Kuro feels around Marth. I look down at my crotch, wishing this wouldn't have happened. I groan and pull my shorts off, pulling up my tunic and grabbing my erect cock.

Just as I go to stroke it, the door opens. I blush as I see Ike standing in the doorway, holding Kuro on his shoulder. Both their faces are dark red. Kuro jumps down and grabs Ike's hand. He pulls him into the room and closes the door as I cover my crotch quickly.

"Kuro! What are you doing?! Get him out!" I cry out in embarrassment.

Kuro pulls Ike over to the bed, who is silent and rather stiff in mortification. Kuro gets up on the bed. Ike is standing at the foot of the bed, facing away from both of us. My twin gets off the bed and jumps up on Ike's back.

I watch as he pushes him down on the bed, making him face plant. He's much stronger than Kuro, but he doesn't move. Kuro looks up at me and smirks. I finally realize what he's doing and move forward, dropping the blanket.

Kuro grabs Ike's headband and pulls his head back. I reach forward and cup his face in my hands, then press my lips to his. I don't feel him kiss back.

"Pit, don't do that again." Ike says as I pull away.

I lean forward and kiss him again. He kisses back this time.

"Stop it," He mumbles.

I kiss again, forcing my tongue into his mouth. His tongue meets mine, obviously fighting with himself about whether he should or not. His tongue and movements are slower than mine, but it's heaven to me.

I feel a large hand on the back of the head, then an arm around my lower back. He stands up, causing Kuro to fall off his back. He gets up on the bed, crawling over me as we break our kiss. I blush harder, shuddering at the electrical current going through my body.

It's as if I'm living my finest dreams, having him over me like this, staring down at me with needy, lust filled eyes. I moan as he presses his lips to mine again. I wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls away and starts biting and sucking on my neck.

Kuro jumps up onto the bed again and leans against Ike. I watch as the mercenary lifts up and looks over at him. He reaches forward and pulls Kuro forward, pressing his lips against him. I whimper at the loss of being kissed.

Ike pulls away from Kuro and starts kissing me again. I yelp as my twin shoves me out of the way and roughly kisses Ike. I whimper again. Ike pulls away from him and bite my neck. I can't help but feel disappointed as I watch the mercenary softly grope at my brother's crotch.

I press my crotch against him in lust. He uses his free hand to grab my length and stroke it. I moan as I arch my back against him.

"Ike, I want you." I pant as he strokes faster.

He glances to Kuro for a moment. My twin clutches his arm tightly with one hand, begging him to touch him more.

"Please Ike," Kuro moans.

He pulls my brother's shorts off and grabs his cock. He jerks on both our cocks while he kisses my neck, then turns and does the same to Kuro. Every time he turns away from me I whine at the loss of attention. Ike sits up from both of us. I watch as he turns to Kuro.

I watch in jealousy as he leans down and takes my twin's entire member into his mouth all at once. Kuro sits up quickly and grabs the back of his head, tangling his fingers in Ike's hair. After a moment, Ike sits up again and points at me.

"Get on him." He orders.

Kuro immediately gets up and gets on me. I lean back. He puts his hands on my chest.

"No, the other way. Turn and face me." The red eyed angel's face turns the same color as his eyes.

He turns around, standing on his hands and knees over me. I reach up and wrap my arms around his waist. I pull him down on my mouth, taking part of his cock in my mouth. I moan as I think of how his cock was just in Ike's mouth.

I feel Kuro's hot mouth around my cock as well. I arch my back and moan loudly. I open one eye and look at Ike, who is watching us, stroking his huge member. I watch as he coats his cock in pre-cum. He sits up again and moves closer.

I look down and watch as he lifts my hips, pressing his head to my entrance. I open my mouth wide in an approving moan as he starts pushing in. I feel his thick member stretch my muscles. Kuro sucks harder, so I do the same to him.

Ike gets about half of his nine inches inside me before he pulls out and slams back into me. I pull off Kuro immediately and cry out loudly, my wings being thrown open and sending feathers across the bed. I knead the sheets beneath me as he thrusts into me with some force.

Kuro sits up off my cock and stands up on his knees. He turns around and positions himself at the tip of my cock. He starts pushing down. I moan at the feel of Ike's thrusting and Kuro now forcing himself down on my cock.

"I-Ike, Kuro," I moan. "I-Ike, harder!" I plea.

"Beg for it." I hear him growl as he wraps his arms around Kuro and starts biting his neck.

I watch as Kuro reaches back and grabs Ike's head, holding his head to his neck. Blood trickles down his collar bone after sometime.

"Harder! Ike, harder, please!" I beg, my heart racing.

He starts fucking me harder, also biting Kuro harder. I feel Kuro start riding my cock. Ike's large hand makes its way slowly down Kuro's body and starts jerking on his member. I feel my balls start tightening as my release comes closer.

Ike slams into a hard bundle of nerves deep inside me. I throw my head back and scream in pleasure.

"Oh Ike!" I scream. "Again! Hit it again!"

Ike slams into it again. I thrust my hips up uncontrollably. I watch as my twin's wings are thrown open and he sits straight up.

"Pit!" He cries out.

He starts eagerly slamming himself down into his own prostate, while Ike slams into mine. I feel Kuro's inner walls start clenching and unclenching over and over as pre-cum drips from his tip. Ike smears the white liquid around on the tip.

"I-Ike! I'm gonna come!" I pant a warning as he thrusts faster and harder.

After a couple more hard thrusts, I cry out as I release into my twin. He gasps, and by the tightening of his walls, also releases onto his chest and stomach, some of it even getting on me and Ike. I feel Ike's hot seed spill into me.

I come down form my bliss high slowly, not wanting to come back ever. I look up through glazed over eyes. Ike is leaning against Kuro, and Kuro's eyes are closed and he's panting. Ike pulls himself out of me. He softly lifts Kuro up off me, then lays him down beside me.

I watch as he kisses Kuro's cheek, then moves to me and does the same. I hold the side of his neck as he kisses me.

"Don't let your father find out about this." He pants into my ear.

"I-I won't," I also pant hard.

He sits up and gathers his clothes, putting his pants and underwear back on. He looks back to us. Kuro cuddles up beside me and wraps his arms around my arm.

"You two should get cleaned up soon." He advises as he leaves the room quickly.

"Where is he going so soon?" Kuro yawns as he cuddles closer.

"Who cares, that was amazing." I press my face against his.

-Ike-

"Dammit, what have I done? First Marth, now Pit and Kuro! What is wrong with me?" I snap at myself as I start into the forest toward the river.

I get to the river and stand at the edge. I strip my clothes, and then slowly wade into the water. I leave my clothes on the shore. I go waist deep into the water before I sit down. I dunk my head under, then come back up and shake my head.

I stretch my arms above my head. Water drips off my muscular arms as I put my head back. I let out a long relieved sigh as I put my arms back down. I cup water in my hands and splash the cold liquid on my face.

I shake my head again afterwards. I reach up and run my fingers through my hair. The moon is shining down on the river, making it sparkle. I look up at the cloudless sky. It's going to be sunrise soon. I start rinsing my body off slowly, thinking about earlier.

Why was Roy so mad? Why wouldn't he let me talk to him? Why does everybody I love have to die? Why do I have to keep hurting people I love? Why does Marth not want me to kill myself? If I did I wouldn't be here to hurt him anymore, I couldn't hurt Roy either.

I suddenly hear a twig crack, so I whip around quickly. I glare at who I think is Roy, but when I take a closer look; I realize it's not him.

"Eliwood?" I ask in confusion, not even remembering that I'm naked. "What are you doing here?"

"I-uh…" His face is bright red. "W-well… H-how how come you're bathing out here? I-in the, the river?" He asks past his stuttering.

"Because your son is pissed off at me for no reason, and I've done several things I'm not proud of, and I needed a bath…" I shrug as I turn around and keep rinsing myself off.

After a couple silent minutes, I turn back around. I see Eliwood still standing there, but he's covering his nose and mouth now. I can tell that his face is still dark red. I slowly walk out of the river toward him. He blushes more as I stand in front of him, naked.

I reach forward and lightly grab his wrist. He backs away slightly, not moving his hand from his face.

"What's wrong?" I narrow my eyes slightly and step forward. "Not intimidated, are you?"

He nods his head no slowly. I take a small step forward.

"Good." I murmur as I pull his hand away from his face.

I'm not surprised as I see that he was covering the blood that's dripping from his nose. His hand is dripping in the red liquid. I bring his hand up to my face and run my tongue along the side of his hand, tasting his sour blood.

I feel him shudder as I press against him. I bring my other hand up and hold his waist softly. I as I stare down at him, I realize he's not doing anything but staring at me. I reach up with the hand I placed on his waist and place it on the back of his arm.

My hand slips down the length of his arm to his hand. I softly rub the tips of my fingers against the palm of his hand. I hold his small hand in mine, then bring it up and place his hand on my bare waist. I put my hand back on his small waist afterwards.

"What's the bloody nose for?" I ask as I clean the blood off his chin and upper lip.

He doesn't answer. He just keeps watching me, shuddering every time I touch a sensitive spot.

"I'm not that attractive, am I?" I tease as I lean forward and softly bite his earlobe. "I guess you just have a thing for muscular, blue haired men, huh?"

"N-no, th-that's not it at- at all." He forces out.

"Then what is it? Don't tell me you've just got a sudden bloody nose." I let my fingers softly trail down his side.

He looks just like Roy, or more like, Roy looks just like him. I run my fingers through his hair gently, then pull him up against me. He pushes away from me embarrassedly.

"Aww, don't be so shy." I smile seductively as I grab his free hand and put it on my chest. "I promise I don't bite hard."

I lean over a little and push his chin up with two fingers. I press my lips to his slowly. I feel him kiss back. I hold his waist with both hands. I feel him wrap his arms around me, holding the back of my head. He pushes my lips against his again as I go to pull away, obviously not ready for me to pull away.

"Eliwood, what will your son think if he sees you brought to this state just by looking at me?" I growl in his ear as I softly lick it, sending a shiver down his spine.

"He doesn't need to know." He replies. "It's none of his business anyway."

"It concerns me touching you, me fucking you into the ground until you bleed. Are you sure it doesn't concern him?" I bite his neck, but not hard enough to draw blood.

"You already did that to Marth and didn't tell him, why am I so different?" I pull away quickly.

"Wh-… How did you know about Marth?!" I ask quickly.

"I saw you two, over on the cliff. You guys weren't exactly being quiet or hiding, either. I left, so don't worry, I didn't see anything else." He reassures me.

"So now you want it?" I question.

"Not really… Kind of…" he blushes and looks away. "Yes, a lot." He mumbles.

"I shouldn't, I've cheated on him enough." I sigh and back away, even though I've already teased him and kissed him.

"Ike, he doesn't deserve you! I love my son, but he's done so many horrible things in his life, especially to you! He doesn't deserve you! He raped Marth, he raped your brother! How do you still love him?" Eliwood takes a step forward and grabs my arm.

I look back at him, knowing that he has a point. Why do I even still love him? Like Eliwood said, he did rape my brother; he did take him to the insane asylum against his will and has hurt him. Even though I love him I can tell he doesn't love me as much as I love him, so why should I even care?

I turn back around to the Marquess. He's staring up at me pleadingly. I turn around all the way to him.

"You have a point about everything he's done, but if I cheat on him one more time, I've already done it three times, today. I can't. Eliwood, please, why don't you go to Hector? Don't you still want him?" I shake my head no.

"Of course I still want him, but he's in Ostia, and I'm here in Pherae. And what do you mean three times? I thought you've only had sex with Marth today." His cobalt eyes are wide in confusion and want.

"Well there's Marth, and…" I look away, my face red. "And Pit and Kuro," I add almost silently.

Eliwood is silent for a couple moments. I look back to him again. He doesn't look disgusted like I thought he would.

"I'm not surprised about Pit; you can tell just by the way he looks at you that he wants you to fuck him. But anyway, so?" He takes a step forward.

"So what?" I repeat.

"Are you going to fuck me? Or do I need to make you fuck me?" He presses against me, pressing his crotch to mine.

I roughly shove him back into the tree behind him and pin him to it. I slam my lips into his, immediately slipping my hands underneath his long tunic and grab the hem of his pants. I jerk them off, taking his underwear with them.

I feel his hard cock against mine immediately. He thrusts his hips into mine, pressing his rock hard erection against me eagerly. I press my lips to his again. I pull away from him.

"Get down on your hands and knees." I watch as he does as he was told, getting down on his hands and knees, looking up at me expectantly.

-Roy-

I open the door and look inside. I don't see Pit or Kuro. Where are they? I walk in a little, then hear the shower running. I shrug and turn back out of the room, closing the door behind me. I start downstairs, where I think Ike might be.

I was to harsh on him, I need to apologize to him before he starts thinking I hate him. I don't see him in the dining room or the living room. He must still be outside. I open the door and start toward the cliff. I get to the top. He's not there.

I turn back around. He could be anywhere, how am I supposed to find him? Maybe I should just wait until later when he comes back. I hear something, but it was to faint to make out. I stop moving and listen again, but closer.

I hear it again, a loud, pleasured moan. My brow furrows in confusion. It sounded like… My father, but he's at House Pherae, and why would he be moaning like that anyway? I start toward the direction I heard it in.

I hear the river along with the moans now. It's not just moans anymore. Its quiet whimpering, hard panting, and pleased screams that accompany the moans. I get to the edge of the trees. There's a clearing at the bank of the river.

I notice someone's clothes sitting on the bank, but I can't make out whose clothes they are. I look over and go to gasp, but stop and cover my mouth. I see Ike, holding my father's hips tightly, thrusting into his as he stands on his hands and knees on the soft grass.

I feel tears come to my eyes. Ike is cheating on me! Ike is cheating on me with my father! I watch in horror as my father moans Ike's name, obviously enjoying every second of his rough thrusting. I back up. Once I'm far enough away from them, I turn and run.

I keep running away from the river, my heart racing and tears blurring my vision. I get to the house and run inside. I slam the door shut and run upstairs. I don't notice someone standing at the doorway, and I slam into them.

I hear a gasp, then a loud thud as we both fall to the floor. I open my eyes and look up. I see Marth staring at me in shock and anger.

"What they hell are you doing running through the hall like that you fucking idiot!?" Marth snaps at me. "Get off me!" He shoves me off him and stands up.

I look up and stop. I notice something a little… Off about him. Particularly, his stomach. Then I realize something else as well. Marth is angry enough to have just cursed at me. I wonder what he's so angry about.

"M-Marth, what happened to you?" I point at him as I sit back. "You're fat!"

"Yeah, I know! And not only am I suddenly fat, but I've also got a damn headache from you slamming me into the ground! What are you so emotional about?" He demands.

I stand up slowly, still observing his stomach. I remember what I had just seen, and more tears come to my eyes. I watch as Marth suddenly sighs and looks away. He looks back and holds his hand out. I take his hand and he helps me stand up.

"So… Have you been eating while everyone else is asleep again? You were skinny just about an hour ago… How did you get so fat?!" I ask again.

"I don't know! Stop asking about my fat!" He yells at me, his voice whiney.

"Okay, okay… So what are y-" I stop and watch confusedly as Marth suddenly puts his hand over his mouth and runs back into his room.

I follow him in confusion. I go into the bathroom, where he is. I go up to him and put my hand softly on his back. I rub his back slowly as he vomits into the toilet. I look up as Kent comes up to us. He looks tired and his eyes are half closed.

"Wha-? Marth, are you okay?" He asks as he kneels beside the prince and wraps his arms around his midriff.

"Yeah, I think so." He sits back a little.

Once we're sure Marth is fine, Kent takes him back into the room and I clean up. He's suddenly fat and throwing up, I wonder what's wrong with him. Ha, maybe he's pregnant. I joke to myself, but I know it's not possible.

I go back into the room once I'm done. Marth is fast asleep against Kent. Kent looks worried and confused.

"Do you know anything about this whole… Fat thing?" I point to his boyfriend's chubby stomach.

He looks really round, not just fat. If he was a woman, I'd swear he was pregnant.

"I have no idea. He's really pissed off about it though. It's weird because… Sometimes I think I feel him moving against me, and he's not. It just started happening when he got fat." He looks back to Marth.

"Let's take him to the hospital. I know he's a male, but it really looks like he's pregnant. And even if he's not, getting so fat so suddenly has got to be bad." I point out.

He looks at me, then back to Marth. He's silent for a moment. He gives in and scoops Marth up off the bed.

"I'll go get my coat." I say, then start toward my room.

Kent finishes getting dressed and dresses Marth more. He meets me in the hall way. I lead him downstairs, then outside. I don't see Ike or my father anywhere. I sigh in relief, then start toward the hospital.

We get there after a couple silent minutes. Marth slept the entire time, and is still asleep. I hold the door open so Kent can carry Marth inside. We go up to the front desk.

"Oh, hello Roy. Is there something wrong with Marth?" She asks.

"Umm… We're not sure. He got really fat suddenly, so we thought something might be wrong." I explain.

"Okay, wait here a moment, we'll get the nurse to come check it out." She nods her head yes, then turns around.

We sit down in the waiting room. Kent holds Marth and softly strokes his cheek. I watch, wishing Ike wasn't so angry with me and hadn't cheated on me with my father. I know I'm the reason he's so angry, so I can't really blame him for leaving the house.

After a minute, a nurse comes out and calls Marth's name. I stand up, watching as Kent does the same. We follow her to the back. A man checks his heart rate and blood pressure, then Kent carries him into the back where the doctor tells him to lay Marth down.

We watch as the doctor undoes Marth's shirt, then pushes it aside. His stomach is really round, instead of just fat. The man softly pokes around at Marth's stomach. The blue haired prince groans quietly, getting irritated with his poking.

He stops poking him and stands up, getting a small jar of a weird looking jelly. He spreads it across Marth's stomach. I watch as his baby blue eyes open in confusion. He looks around, not recognizing where he is.

Kent stands up and leans over Marth, softly kissing him. When he pulls away, Marth looks around in fear. He keeps watching the man putting the jelly on his stomach.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" Marth asks.

"We're just seeing what's wrong; you're not going to get hurt. He's just trying to figure out why you got really fat all of a sudden." Kent comforts him while he holds Marth's hand for comfort.

Marth looks no less at ease. The man takes a weird looking tool and presses it to Marth's stomach. He looks up at a monitor. I can see inside Marth's stomach. I can't even make anything out, how can that man?

He moves it a little lower. He stops moving and looks at the screen for a good ten minutes before he says anything.

"Are you male?" He looks back to Marth.

"Yes." Marth replies questioningly

"Never had a gender change, or anything like that?" He asks.

"No, never." Marth assures him.

"Then… How are you pregnant?" He looks back to the screen.

"What?!" Marth exclaims.

"Look," The man stands up and keeping the tool on Marth's stomach, points to the screen.

I can make out what he's talking about. It defiantly looks like a baby's head and arms, but how can it be so big already? He points to where I was looking.

"I have given ultrasounds to many pregnant women, and I know what unborn babies look like. That is definitely a child." He says.

Kent and Marth both stare blankly at the screen.

"O-okay…" Marth is suddenly breathing harder. "W-well… How did this happen?"

"I'm sure you know how babies are made." The doctor chuckles.

"Yes, I do, but how am I pregnant? I'm a man!" Tears edge his baby blue eyes.

"That I don't know. All I know is that you're pregnant. By the fact that I can already see the child so clearly, you must be about two months along." The doctor cleans the jelly off Marth's stomach.

"What? No, that can't be right. I've had sex only a week ago! Not even a week!" Marth denies quickly.

"Well before that?" The doctor asks.

"Before that, I hadn't had sex since I was sixteen. I'm twenty one years old." Marth points out.

"Oh… Well…. I don't know. I'll look more into it with the pictures I have. I'll send you mail when I have results. Until then, don't let him get to much exercise as it could put to much stress on him and the baby. Also expect mood swings, strange food cravings and morning sickness." The doctor explains.

"Okay, well make sure he's okay." I reassure him with a smile.

So I was right. Marth is pregnant. I look over at him in confusion. I walk up to him.

"So… Will you keep it?" I ask slowly.

"I-I don't know, Roy I can't take care of a baby, I have one arm! And aside from that, I don't know anything about it!" Marth sounds like he'll burst into tears.

"Well Kent is here to help you, and you have nine months to learn everything and get ready, so I'm sure everything will be fine." I softly stroke his cheek.

Kent picks up Marth and we leave the room. I nod to the nurse on the way out. We walk back to the house silently. Much to my displeasure, I see my father leaning against the wall. It's just sunrise. He looks at me as I come up to the door.

He steps toward me as I grab the doorknob.

"Hey Roy," He goes to speak but I ignore him and go inside.

I don't hear him say anything else. I see Ike asleep on the couch. I go over to him. Kent takes Marth upstairs. I reach down and grab a large handful of Ike's hair, pulling on it hard. He sits up quickly, looking freaked out and in a little pain.

He looks up at me, then his face flushes. I glare down at him.

"You're still mad at me?" He asks in confusion as he sits up. "I've left you alone all night."

"Yeah, but you sure as hell were not leaving my father alone. I saw you two by the river. How could you Ike?" I demand in anger.

"Roy, I…" He looks away, unsure of what to say.

"What Ike? Don't even try to lie about it, I saw you both." I scoff.

"I wasn't going to. There's nothing I can say. I'm not going to lie to you, you know what you saw, I can't say otherwise. Yes, it's true. I had sex with your father." Ike stands up in front of me.

"At least you can be honest about it." I roll my eyes. "But why did you do it? Did you do it just to get back at me for fighting with you?"

"No, I didn't really want to, I felt really guilty for doing it, but I just… You both look so much a like I just couldn't help myself." He tries to explain.

"That's the dumbest excuse I've ever heard." I turn and start upstairs, sick of listening to his reasoning.

Ike comes toward me. I stop and glare back at him fiercely. I watch as he walks past me. I follow him upstairs. He goes into our room, but doesn't close the door. I go in and sit on the bed. He grabs Ragnell, then starts back downstairs.

I sit still for a moment, but curiosity gets the better of me and I follow him. Ike gets up to the front door before I say anything.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"You obviously don't want me here so I'm leaving." He doesn't turn to face me.

I'm silent for a moment. Is he really leaving, like not coming back? Or will he back tonight? I take a step forward, worry and confusion clouding my mind.

"When will you be back?" I want to reach out and put my hand on his shoulder, but I don't.

I feel fear welling up. Was me being angry really that hurtful to him? Is he just pissed off because I confronted him about my father?

"I don't know." He opens the door and takes a step outside.

My heart leaps in my chest. I watch, frozen to the floor as he closes the door. I hear heavy breathing behind me. I turn around and see Marth panting against the wall. Kent is holding his shoulders lightly for comfort.

"R-Roy…" Marth pants. "Go stop him!" He points to the door.

"Why? He doesn't want to be here anymore. He can go live where ever he wants." I mumble with my head down.

"No, Roy, he's going to kill himself! That's why we were gone earlier! He was telling me about how he had been thinking of killing himself! He was going to do it earlier, but I convinced him not to. He must have completely lost hope in everything getting better. Go stop him!" Marth comes up to me.

I notice his shirt is up over his stomach, as it probably doesn't fit correctly anymore. I turn quickly and run outside. I don't see Ike or Eliwood anymore. Marth steps outside, Kent practically attached to his side.

I see my father's red hair at the end of the road. I run down the road quickly. I get to him. He looks over at me.

"I'm really sorry." He whispers.

"Where is Ike going? Have you seen him?" I ask frantically.

"Yeah, I saw him. He's going toward the cemetery. Why?" Just after he finishes, I take off running toward the cemetery.

I get to the gates. I can see Ike kneeling in front of a gravestone. It must be Elis's gravestone, as Mordecai wasn't buried here. His sword is lying on the ground beside him. As I get closer to him I notice his cheeks are wet with tears.

"Ike," I call out, tears now making my vision a little blurry.

I run up to him. He doesn't look at me. I kneel beside him.

"Ike, you don't need to kill yourself." I put my hand on his shoulder. "I promise I'll forgive you." I pant hard.

"No, Roy, I've hurt everyone enough now. It's time for me to be punished." I watch as he reaches down and grabs the hilt of his sword.

I lean forward and try to push his hand off the sword's handle. The tears stream down my cheeks now. I wrap my free arm around his chest desperately.

"Please Ike, this isn't necessary!" I insist as I push on his hand.

Even despite my pushing he raises his sword. I grab a hold of his wrist as I press my face into his shoulder.

"Please Ike, don't do it." I beg while clutching him tighter.

"Roy, I don't want to get any blood on you. Please let go." He pushes on my chest, but I hold tighter.

He's stronger than I am, so he pushes me off successfully. I fall on my back, but sit up against quickly. I grab onto his arm.

"No! No, Ike, I won't let you!" I pull his arm more.

"Go home Roy, your children need you." He turns toward me.

His cobalt eyes are glazed over in remorse. He softly strokes my cheek with his free hand. I feel more tears come as he leans in and kisses me slowly.

"You've got to promise me that you'll keep everyone safe from people like me. You've got to promise that you'll stay strong." He whispers as he stares at me blankly.

"No, I won't promise you anything like that because you aren't going to kill yourself! I won't let you." I wrap my arms around him tightly.

"I'm really sorry Roy. For everything I've done, not just to you. To everyone I've hurt." He raises his sword, but just as he does, I watch as he suddenly gets jerked out of my arms, being slammed into the ground.

I gasp in horror as I see a large silver axe embedded in between his shoulder blades.

"Ike!" I shriek in fear.

Ike is such a whore in this chapter. Also, poor suicidal Ikey, getting axed before he can kill himself. :..(

No! No, no no no no no no no! Ike, you're not supposed to be with Marth! Ahhhhh! What am I doing to my story?! Okay, they aren't together…. But they do have their little secret now… Oh and SURPRISE! Male pregnancy! Again! Yeah… It's only because the baby is a demon, and demons can do that kind of stuff.
