A Kind Gesture
During an especially windy day, a 4-man team battle royal was taking place on Icicle Mountain, the borderline hazardous weather however was negatively affecting one smash combatant in particular.
"Gotcha!" Wolf uttered faintly under his breath as he fired his blaster and hit square in his mid-section preventing him from grabbing Lucina. There was 6 minutes left in the match and Wolf was providing Young Link and Lucina cover with his blaster from across the stage while they fought in the forefront. Before he could make his next shot Wolf's concentration was immediately broken by a loud sneeze coming from behind him.
"ACHOO"
Wolf quickly glanced behind him and saw his teammate Isabelle sniffling a little bit from the sneeze that just occurred. "What's with you?" Wolf said somewhat half-heartedly, still trying to pay attention to the battle.
"I-I'm f-f-freezzzing" Isabelle said while shivering profusely, her arms wrapped around her body in a desperate attempt to stay warm. "The An-nouncer said we-e would-d be battling on a c-cold s-stage, that's why I wore m-my light w-winter clothes, bu-b-but I n-never imagined we'd be f-fighting in a t-tundra." To Isabelle's credit she wasn't wrong, the stage was pretty harsh temperature wise.
With no enemies immediately in front of them Wolf paused for a moment to get a good look at Isabelle, she was shaking non-stop with a sickly look on her face. Judging by her current condition it was pretty clear that at this rate she wouldn't even last until the end of the battle. Wolf let out a calm sigh and unzipped his jacket.
"Here" Wolf said giving Isabelle his jacket and wrapping in around her. "Wear this to warm up and just hang back while the rest of the team and I finish the match."
Though it wasn't winter gear, Wolf's leather stitched jacket still provided some much need warmth to Isabelle. I took about a minute or so for Isabelle's breathing to return to normal but when it did she spoke up. "Thank you Wolf, this is very kind of you" Isabelle said warmly.
Wolf grunted slightly hearing this "Stop with that nonsense would you, a sick teammate is no use on the battlefield, that's it" Wolf retorted stubbornly. But despite his rude sounding tone and words, Isabelle could tell he was just putting up a front.
"But what about you? You're only in your undershirt now, aren't you just risking getting sick yourself now?" Isabelle questioned.
"I'll be fine, I can handle colder temperatures very well thanks to my thick fur." Wolf replied as he began to realign his targeting scope on his blaster. The match was almost over but thankfully Young Link and Lucina were holding their own pretty well with the enemy team. Now that Isabelle was taken care of, Wolf resumed his position in the battle by providing cover fire to his other teammates.
"Thank you again Wolf" Isabelle said sincerely. Wolf just continued firing his blaster with a smirk on his face as he targeted his opponents.
Author's Notes: extremely short chapter I know but the next one will be longer I promise. More than anything this chapter is meant to be a brief sweet moment between Wolf and Isabelle while I outline other chapters.
Also two minor details I want to clear up: 1) I am aware that the Ice climbers stage Icicle Mountain from melee did not make a return in Ultimate, however I felt that this stage was a little more appropriate given its larger size compared to Summit, it made it more plausible that Wolf and Isabelle could be off on the sidelines for a couple of minutes without being swarmed by the enemy team. 2) The reason Young Link wasn't affected by the Cold like Isabelle despite having exposed arms and legs was due to the fact that he asked his BoTW Counterpart to make him a dish that temporarily would raise his body temperature.
