"I swear. If you come near me AGAIN, you won't be able to walk for the rest of your life." After the threat had been muttered, and the speaker had stormed away, Snake stood still, confused on what he had done wrong to get his girlfriend mad at him. Glancing at the present in his hand, then down the hall where Samus had angrily walked away from him, a frown became etched onto his face. What had just happened? His question was soon voiced out, but not by him.
"Ok, what did you do wrong?" Turning slowly, he came face to face with the princess of Hyrule. She leaned back onto the wall, dressed casually unlike herself. "Don't give me that look Snake. You had to have done something to get her to be that angry at you."
"Don't talk to me like that. You're always like that with your boyfriend, but you don't actually do any of the stuff you say you will." Zelda sharply turned her head.
"He's not my boyfriend! You know that."
"Whatever. Same thing."
"You're trying to avoid the subject Snake. What could you possibly do to Samus that she would refuse one of your gifts? Doesn't she love it when you try to be romantic with her?" Zelda broke her gaze with the spy so she could examine her nails. Snake growled from irritation.
"If I knew the answer to that, I would be chasing after her. I may need a little…help." Zelda knew that he was desperate then. Snake never liked asking for assistance at all.
"Here's a hint. What day is it today?"
"Is that some sort of trick question, you brat?" The princess of Hyrule frowned. She knew that there was a significant difference between their age, but that didn't mean that the spy could call her that.
"Say that again and I won't help you."
"…It's the 21st. So?"
"Did Samus ever mention to you anything special about today?" She gave him a hard glare. Before he could respond, a hand suddenly grabbed Zelda' shoulder. She swiftly turned to see who it was, and you could see a slight pink tinge rise up towards her cheeks when she noticed it was the rugged mercenary.
"Don't you think you should just tell him the answer?" Ike asked. Zelda shot a look at the spy who was still thinking.
"Well, if he can't get it, then Samus has every reason to be pissed at him." She finally spoke, breaking her gaze with the spy. Snake merely stormed off, most likely to find Samus. Ike grinned cheekily.
"You're really mean, do you know that?" Zelda huffed.
"If I'm mean, then you won't mind if I shove you off a cliff."
"Now, now, that's not very Christmassy."
"Fine. I'll push you off a Christmas tree."
"Bet-Hey!!"
…:::|:::…
Zelda's sudden intrusion did nothing to help his current mood. Even though he was a spy, his forte was more infiltration, rather than deductions. This was going to be a tough one. December 21st…December 21st…what was it about today that could make Samus that testy? Christmas shopping? Christmas parties? Christmas in general? That last one was a good idea, but probably wasn't it. Snake's train of thought continued to carry him around the mansion as he tried to figure out the reason for why Samus would say something like that to him. He had paced through the mansion twice, but little did he know that Samus was doing the same. Unlike him, she wasn't thinking 'why'. She was thinking 'how'.
'How dare he! I can't believe him! He completely forgets that today…I'm not going to even think about it!' After she had stormed away from him, she had continued walking around the halls. She had nothing better to do, and the bounty hunter really just needed to think. As both of them continued simply thinking, not paying attention to their surroundings, it was a shame that the two didn't look up to admire Zelda's handiwork.
As Samus and Snake neared the main hall, they failed to notice that it was covered with a forest of mistletoe. The Christmas plant had been put up nearly a week ago by the Hyrulian princess in hopes of bringing more Christmas cheer towards the smasher's attitude.
Even though Samus didn't notice the bushes of mistletoe hanging above her, she did see Snake walking around absentmindedly. She could feel her anger rising at the sight of him.
"What are you doing?" She asked softly, thought it wasn't with compassion. Snake looked up, surprised, but he didn't need the question repeated.
"Look, I'm sorry! I may not know what I did, but you have to understand-"
"No! All I have to understand is that you are a complete jerk!"
"What? I don't even know what I did wrong!"
"Exactly! That's my point!"
"I don't' even know what your point is!!" As their argument continued, it was soon stopped by the sound of clapping. The two smashers turned their attention to Zelda, who continued to applaud. Samus raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"Zelda, why are you clapping?" Said princess simply coughed and looked upward. As the bounty hunter and spy followed her gaze, though it took a while for them to completely understand the situation. Samus was the first to react.
"I am NOT kissing that stupid, insensitive spy! Not if my life depended on it!" She screamed across the hall to an on-looking Ike and Zelda.
"Insensitive?!" Snake cried indignantly. "I'm trying to apologize!"
"Well then, you're doing a really bad job at it!" As the continued to bicker, it was Ike's turn to act.
"For god's sake! Just freaking kiss and stop acting like a bunch of kids! Here, if you really need one, I'll give you an example!" As he yelled down the corridor, he grabbed Zelda's forearm, dragging her into the mistletoe covered hall. Zelda took a sharp breath in as her face turned red.
"I-Ike! What are you doing? I-" Before she could finish talking, he had dragged her closer to Samus and Snake, and dipped her in a sweet, long kiss. She didn't move for the first little bit, but soon fell deeper into his embrace with the blue haired mercenary. Samus watched with a raised eyebrow.
"I didn't know Zelda liked Ike."
"No, she likes him. A lot. Didn't want anybody to know. I didn't know that he liked her back. Don't believe that she knew that either."
"Hooray for that. I didn't know that you kept in the gossip."
"I don't. Peach wouldn't shut up about their 'Tragic Love Story'. Didn't know you really cared."
"I do care! Just never been that important to me."
"Am I important to you?" The sudden question had not been what Samus was expecting. She took her sweet time in answering.
"Yes. You are."
"Then, let's not keep the tradition waiting." He muttered before leaning forward and catching her lips with his.
This one, over the past week or so, has to be one of my better ones (in writing quality and plot, while it still isn't that defined).
