Chapter 4
Zelda looked up. Marth was staring at her uncomfterably. "What do we do now?" She asked him nervously. Marth didn't answer, he was lost for words. She decided that he probably didn't know why he was up on the roof with her ether. She stood up and removed her arms from around his waist. He stepped back and picked up his shirt and put it back on over his muscular body. Zelda straightened out her clothes.
"I have an idea!" Marth said suddenly out of the blue. "You know on ether sides of the upstairs floor there are the bathrooms. We can climb in, hopefully no one will be there otherwhys we will be caught." He explained. It was a very good idea, Zelda thought. She grabbed him and gave him one last kiss and then ran to the other side of the house.
He looked on as she ran away, her blonde hair waving in the cool summer breeze. "What was I doing?" He muttered to himself. He felt like an idiot. He was a lovesick fool. If Link found out he would lose his friendship and most likely Zelda. Yet he felt that he had fulfilled his dream, to love Zelda, and to have her love him back., to feel her body pressed against his, to look into her deep blue eyes, to feel her hair brush against his skin. He had felt all that in one magical night. He then noticed that he had to get going. He jogged up to the bathroom window. He looked into the window pane. It was one of those shaded in windows so the vision inside was blurry. He could see no movement so he quickly tried to squeeze through it. Then he realized that he should have thought it through. The window was pretty damn small.
He decided that the best way to approach it would be to go in on his back feet first, as not to risk the chance of his broad shoulders getting caught. Here goes, he thought. He put his feet through and then his lower body. Then he sucked his gut in and even that was a tight squeeze. He was not as skinny as Roy. His chest was harder. You can't suck your chest in. At that moment he wondered how Zelda must be going on that. With a bit of a struggle he finally got his upper body through and he was free. He took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off his forehead. He walked up to the guys dorms. The males were all doing various things. Link was sleeping in an inexplicable position. Marth didn't even know whether the human body could bend the ways he was. Roy was also sleeping but in a more possible position. Captain Falcon was getting into his pajamas. The Mario brothers were arguing over something. Fox and Falco were laughing their heads off. Ganondorf was combing his hair. "Marth, buddy, where were you at dinner?" Asked Captain Falcon flamboyantly.
"Um.." He was nervous. "I couldn't eat. I'm on a diet." He mad up an excuse really fast. It was the best he could come up with on short notice considering that he wasn't the best of liars. He usually blushed or stuttered.
"Oh, really, pity for you, it was really good." Captain Falcon hit him lightly on the arm. Well, maybe lightly wasn't the right word for it. More like a mini Falcon Punch. Suddenly Fox called out to him." Hey, Marth! Did you see? Link and Roy passed out and had to be carried upstairs by Bowser and D.K. Link turned his head and puked all over Bowser!"
"No, I didn't." Marth actually wished, in spite of all that had happened with Zelda, he had seen that. It would have been hilarious. For some reason the incident with Zelda seemed to have happened years ago, centuries even. That night was magical.
He stripped down to his boxer shorts and looked at himself in the mirror. Maybe I should go on a diet like I said to Captain Falcon, if I'm going to be going through that window again. He thought with some sarcasm. He traced his finger down his arm and felt the muscles, nice and firm, embeded in a thin layer of flesh. He was tired. All he wanted was to sleep. He walked over to his bunk, which was just below Link's. He actually had wanted the top bunk but Link had already claimed it. He climbed under the warm quilt and sank in to the softness of the pillow and closed his eyes. It was a bit hard to get relaxed because of the noise the others were making but generally as the night wore on it quieted down. Finally he dozed off into a peaceful slumber and had a pretty good time pretending that Zelda was right there, lying asleep beside him.
