The Smash Building was actually a large dollhouse with white walls and a red roof. All the smashers had their rooms upstairs and downstairs were the kitchen, the living room, the dining hall and a large balcony.

Luigi was the first one to wake up. He went to the kitchen and started to make breakfast. It was Zelda's turn to cook that day, but Luigi thought he'd make breakfast as he was the first to wake up. Maybe someone would do breakfast on his turn instead of him.

The water boiled as Luigi added some salt in it and put lots of spaghetti into the water. He touched his moustache like he were some expert cook. He watched how the spaghetti boiled in silence.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu came to the kitchen. He looked around as he sniffed the air. He smelled the spaghetti and giggled.

"Morning!" Luigi said cheerfully. "I'm a-making mine and Mario's favourite breakfast! It's-a very good and easy to make!"

"Pika pii…" Pikachu said as he left carrying some pokémon food with him. Luigi turned back to his spaghetti.

"Morn." Captain Falcon was half-asleep as he came. He walked right past Luigi and opened the fridge door. "Damn that little brat. He's taken all our milk again. I'm gonna go buy some more. See ya." Luigi watched after him when he fell in the stairs and cursed. Someone isn't really awake yet, he thought.

A half an hour passed before Samus came downstairs. She didn't come to the kitchen, just waved to say 'hi' to Luigi.

"Morning!" Luigi replied as he ate pesto for breakfast. "Have you seen Mario, Samus? His spaghetti's getting cold."

Samus shook her head before leaving. She's always training or researching, Luigi shook his head and looked down. She should enjoy her life and taste this delicious pesto!

Luigi left the spaghetti on the table so that someone could eat it. If Mario were going to sleep the whole day, it wouldn't be Luigi's job to watch after his breakfast. He was just going to his room when Roy came out from his, still rubbing his eyes. He stood still in front of his door in a drowse for a long time before he stretched and came towards Luigi.

"Good morning!" Roy said cheerfully. Luigi found it amazing that he could awaken so completely just by stretching.

"Morning, Roy!" He said as he stood in his doorway. "Would you train with me today? I'd like to fight a close-range in a long time."

"Sure. I would be honoured to fight you." Roy continued to the downstairs. "Morning!" He said to everyone already awake and waved his hand.

"Morn." Captain Falcon was lying on the living room's couch and stretched.

"Pikapii!" Pikachu ate his pokémon food.

"Jigglypuff!" Jigglypuff turned around and winked to Roy.

"Good morning, Roy!" Zelda said politely as she lifted her eyes from an old book.

"Hmph." Ganondorf just looked at him and turned away.

"Hi." Link had a glass of water in his hand.

"Hello, Roy!" Peach was knitting a shirt for a toad sitting in her lap.

"Good…" Popo said from the middle of a card game.

"…Morning!" Nana continued. "You lost." She said to Popo and showed him her cards.

"Hidihi!" Ness said cheerfully. "Hey, come on; let me play as well…" He said to the Ice Climbers.

Bowser didn't bother to answer.

"Has someone made breakfast?" Roy asked as he heard his stomach growl.

"I was just about to start making it, but then I thought I'd wait until everyone's awake." Zelda closed the book. "Maybe I should start now, or what do you think? Should we wait for the rest to wake up as well?"

"Nah, start making breakfast. We're hungry", all the smashers in the living room said. Zelda went to the kitchen. Roy took her seat and looked at Link.

"What're you going to do today?" he asked.

"I don't know. Come to the balcony." Link stood up and as he walked away from the couch, Roy stood up as well and Falcon put his feet on their seats. Roy realized that Link hadn't asked him to come to the balcony, he had ordered him. The young general hated to take advice or commands from others, but he followed the blonde Hylian.

Roy closed the door to the balcony behind him and watched as Link went to the farthest corner of it where the morning sun didn't shine.

"Why are you--?"

"Come here." Link ordered and Roy told himself:

Keep your cool. Keep your cool. Keep your cool. Keep—

"Please", The man in green tunic added. He smiled and looked at Roy with a look that apologized.

"It's okay", Roy said as he stayed in the sun, pretty near Link. "Why are you in the corner? The sun doesn't shine there."

"This is the only place where they can't see us, no matter how hard they tried. They'd need to come to the balcony first." Link smiled. Roy laughed at him and went sitting next to him.

"It's cold." He said as he hugged himself. Link looked at him in the eyes and hugged him.

"I'll warm you." he said tenderly.

"I have a bad feeling about this… May--" Roy couldn't finish his sentence when Link kissed him passionately to his lips. Roy put his arms around Link and pulled him closer as he answered to the elf's kiss. Link hugged him tightly as he tried to turn Roy over to his back, but Roy pushed him back. "…No." he finally said.

"You don't mean that." Link said with a smile in his voice, but it couldn't be seen on his face.

"…No… I guess I don't." Roy sat up and took the Hylian's hand in his owns gently. "But not here."

Roy stood up and went inside. Link came out of the shadow to feel the warmth of the sun on his cheeks. It felt a bit the same as when Roy touched him. His touch was so warm, filled with energy. Every time Roy touched Link, he felt that that energy was flowing to him, giving him more power and life force. He thought of Roy's words.

'But not here.' It's the way Roy says I love you. He can't use the powerful word, love, he always says something that shows he cares, but never means I love you. But that's what he wants to say. Link smiled as the wind blew his hair from his forehead.

"Link, are you coming in? Breakfast's ready." Marth stood by the door and looked at him. He waited until Link had gone inside before going himself and closed the door behind him.

Link looked around the dining hall to see Roy. He wanted to sit next to his general, to show that he cared as well. He couldn't say I love you in front of all the other smashers, but he could take Roy's hand under the table and hold it tight.

Roy was eating already. He sat in the far end of the table with Mario, who played with his cold spaghetti. They were both quiet, at times Roy opened his mouth to say something, but decided not to. Link smiled at him in his thoughts of the night before.

He took a piece of an omelette and thought of Roy's hot touch that almost burned on his skin. But it felt so good. He couldn't think of anything that could give him the same warmth and energy than it. And the way Roy kissed, it was like fire, it burned passionately, engulfing Link in invisible flames and he could sometimes feel the sparkles between the two of them. His eyes were half-open as he stood still, thinking of Roy.

"Hey, Link, snap out of it! We want breakfast as well!" Falco said angrily.

"Oh, yeah. I'm sorry." Link took his plate and went to sit next to Roy. To his surprise, Roy took his hand under the table and squeezed it tight. But Link couldn't see anything on Roy's face. He was eating his breakfast and let go of Link's hand when he needed his fork again.

"Are you a-training with someone today?" Mario asked and Link shook his head, mouth filled with omelette. "Would you like-a to train with me, Luigi and Roy?"

…Roy?

"Yeah, sure. I'd be happy to." He said after swallowing.

"Are we starting right after breakfast?" Roy asked from no one in particular.

"I think-a that might be good. Is it okay with you, Link?"

Link nodded. Roy had taken his hand again. He slowly let go of it under the table before getting up, when he took his plate to the kitchen and went upstairs.

Link was quiet for a moment.

"I can't see Mini-me… Where's he?" He asked from Mario. He'd been protective to his younger self since he'd met him. He felt like Young Link was his brother, not himself.

"I haven't-a seen him at all today. He saw some a-movie with Captain Falcon last night. Probably he's still-a asleep." Mario said as he finished his breakfast. "Do you-a want me to wait until you've finished?"

"No, you can go." Link shook his head. "I'll go wake him up after I've finished. He mustn't sleep all day."

"Okey!" Mario said as he left. Link was now sitting next to Yoshi.

"Yoshi!" Yoshi said cheerfully as Link stood up.

"Same to you too." Link smiled. He never knew what the green dinosaur said.

---

Roy was putting his red breastplate on and tightening up the straps

Knock knock

"Yes, come in." Roy said, without looking who it was. "Hey, would you--" He was surprised when he felt Link's lips on his neck and closed his eyes. "--help me with the straps…?"

"Okay." Was all the blonde said. He turned Roy around and kissed him to his lips. Roy answered, but absent-mindedly. The blonde let go of the boy general and tightened up his straps.

"Thanks." Roy said. He started to put on his tunic. Link watched him the whole time he dressed up.

"Roy…" he started with a soft tone.

"Mm-hm?" Roy turned to look at him as he fixed his cape.

"I'm worried about Mini-me. He hasn't shown his face all morning."

"He saw that horror movie with Captain yesterday and stayed up quite late. Maybe he couldn't sleep and sleeps now. I'm sure there's nothing to be worried about." Roy took Link's face in his hands and gave him a kiss. "Don't worry."

"I can't help it. He feels like a brother to me. And I thought that you'd like to come with me to wake him up."

"Sure." The redhead answered as he opened his door. "Let's go then!"

"You two a-coming? We're late already!" Mario shouted from the end of the stairs. His brother was standing right behind him.

"Yeah, we'll be right there, we'll just go and wake Young Link up!"

"Let him sleep, let's a-go!!" Luigi said with excitement. Roy gave an 'I'm sorry'-look to Link, who nodded and followed the general.

All four of them went to the living room and to the white platforms, that transported them to the Smash Road. All the arenas were situated along the road, including training and the 1P mode. The road looked a bit like final destination, yet there was more light and the sky was cerulean.

I don't like this, I want to go to Mini-me… I have a feeling he--

"Link, is something the matter?" Roy placed a hand on his shoulder. His sapphire blue eyes were questioning him. "You can tell me."

Another I love you from Roy.

"No, I'm fine. Why don't we go to the Hyrule Temple and have a match?" He asked and everyone agreed.

They walked along the road until the huge Hyrule Temple was in the left. Mario was happy that no one else was training there: they could start immediately.

"How about we have first a team match, Me and Link against Mario and Luigi and then one on one match?" Roy suggested. "Luigi and me, and Mario and Link."

"Sounds-a great!" Luigi said. They chose the options from the small screen near the white platforms that teleported them to the castle. Roy and Link decided to be the red team and Mario and Luigi the blue team.

"Okay, let's get it on!" Roy said with pure energy flowing to him. This was sheer ecstasy for him. He jumped on top of Mario and hit him hard with a smash. Mario's percentage rose above ten as he flew few metres away from Roy.

Luigi started to load his Luigi Rocket and hit Link with it. Link made quickly his smash, but Luigi rolled behind him and hit him with his Firepunch. Link flew up in the air and got ready for his next attack. He fell down, right on top of Luigi and slashed him with his sword. The plumber was tossed to Roy's Fireblade and as Roy saw him in front of him, he released it and Luigi flew away with incredible speed, screaming 'Owowowowowowowow.'

I will break records with that, The boy general thought.

As Roy was in his thoughts, Mario decided to slide towards him to make him fall. He hit Roy's feet and the general fell over. As he tried to get up, Mario grabbed him, starting to spin around as holding the redheaded boy. Then he let go and Roy flew out. The general tried to jump back, but his Blazer wasn't strong enough to get him to the edge.

Mario's percentage was around hundred and Link's near fifty. Link tossed his boomerang and took a bomb. He tossed it to Mario, whose percentage was rising very quickly. Link jumped high in the air, did a mid-air jump, but Mario punched him before he got to the ground. Link was sent flying high and he thought of what to do as he fell. He did his spin attack to get away from Mario, but the plumber was too fast. He hit Link again with a smash and Link flew over the edge.

Mario posed as he thought the blonde would never make it back, but he was wrong. Link climbed up from the edge and saw a proximity mine in his feet. He dodged Mario's punch and threw the proximity mine at him. Mario got it in his face and it fell on the ground. The short plumber looked at it as he jumped a few steps back. Link charged an arrow. He decided to run at Link and jump right in front of the mine so that it wouldn't blow up, but Link would run to it and boom…

Mario ran towards Link. The Hylian stood still and waited. He was still charging his arrow and let it go just when Mario was about to jump. It hit the plumber in the chest and he fell on top of the proximity mine. It blew off and Mario was sent flying. Link posed as the sign of his victory.

They were all teleported back to the Smash Road and started to look at their bonuses.

"I got All Ground", said Roy.

"I was a Punching Bag!" Luigi laughed. The plumbers congratulated the Red team and started to get ready for the next battle: Luigi vs. Roy.

"I need to get to the bathroom." Roy was looking to the ground. "Can I go?"

"Of a-course you can!" Mario said. This way both of the fighters could get their breath and fight with new energy.

"I guess I need to go as well." Link smiled at them a bit shyly. Roy looked at him with small surprise in his eyes, but it turned into a smile.

You can't be serious…

They went to the men's bathroom, but neither of them went to pee. Roy turned around, took Link in his arms and held him tight. Link put his arms around Roy and squeezed.

"You fought well", Roy whispered to Link's ear.

"So did you." The blonde answered. "I was looking at you all the time."

Kiss me, now.

Roy looked at the blue-eyed man he loved and smiled happily. "I'm glad we got to fight together."

"Me too."

Roy kissed him lightly to his cheek before leaving the bathroom. Link decided to wait a little moment so that their secret little meeting wouldn't look so suspicious.

"You took your time, didn't you?" Roy laughed as he saw Link coming to them. He was breathing heavily and Link realised that his general and Luigi had already fought.

"Did I miss a match?" he looked at Roy in great surprise. "I was in my thoughts."

"You were there for fifteen minutes. We fought as you weren't coming… Let's start fighting now! I want to fight against you too!"

You really have too much energy, Roy. But that's one of the million reasons why I love you.

"Okay, okay!" Link was dragged to the platform and sent to Hyrule Temple. Mario stood in front of him and smiled.

"Shall we a-start?" he asked. Link nodded as he lifted his belt.

Mario ran towards Link, but Link shielded his smash. The plumber hit several times again, until Link couldn't hold up his shield and he decided to give the plumber a lesson of elves. He jumped away from the never-ending punches and landed right behind Mario. He spin attacked and Mario flew few meters on the air.

Mario tried to attack Link straight from above, but the Hylian did a smash, sending him higher up. The plumber tried his trick again and succeeded this time, Link was lying on the ground not far from him. He ran to Link and slid. Link flew in the air and fell to the ground, just to be hit again by the short plumber's feet. After Mario had had fun with the boy, he hit a smash to Link's stomach and Link flew from the other end of the temple to the other end.

Mario looked at Link as the Hylian ran towards him, ready to do a deadly series of attacks. He used his cape and Link was turned around. He hit the elf with a coin punch and Link flew high. Link landed far away from Mario, but the plumber wasn't going to let him catch his breath. Link was breathing extremely heavily and tried to concentrate. When Mario was close enough, he used his hookshot and grabbed Mario. Mario's percentage was much lower than his, so he didn't fly far. He stood up and looked at the blonde. Link ran at him, rolled to his back and did his double smash. He was starting to get very tired.

One smash, Mario thought.

Last a little longer, Roy was keeping his fingers crossed for the handsome elf.

Link threw a bomb at Mario and he flew back. As the plumber got up, Link hit his chest with his double smash. They were at the edge of the Hyrule temple, so Mario flew out. The system declared Link as a winner.

"You a-coming?" Mario asked as Link sat down.

"I'll be ….*huff* right behind you…*huff huff* ... I'll just catch …my breath….*huff* It was a great fight!"

"Yes, it-a was. Well, we'll send Roy in and a-head back to the Smash Building. He said he wanted to a-have a fight with you."

"You're not …*huff* going to watch …us fight?"

"No, not a-this time. We'll go a-back and make some spaghetti… I'm a-hungry, you know."

"Okay…" Link laid on his back and closed his eyes.

Got to get my breath… I'll just rest here a little bit. Link gave a deep sigh letting go of the Master Sword and his shield.

He heard how someone came to the stage.

Finally only you and me, Roy… But I don't want to fight with you… I want to feel your body near mine, the burning warmth of it on top of me.

"Hi. You okay? Mario gave you a tough fight." Roy came to him.

"Hi. I'm fine…. I just need …*huff huff*…to catch my breath for a while …before the fight with you, if it's …okay."

Roy came closer, Link heard his steps. The general took off his breastplate and looked at Link lying on the ground. He dropped it as he came on top of Link, barely touching his body with his own.

"Closer. I want to feel your warmth." Link whispered as he hugged Roy. And the redhead laid on top of him, breathing to his ear.

"Breathe, Link. In and out. Slowly." Roy whispered back. Link obeyed, he didn't open his eyes, he wanted to concentrate fully to his breathing.

Roy…

"Inhale…exhale…inhale…exhale… good…" Roy's mouth was really close to Link's ear. He kissed the elf's ear slowly. Link squeezed his body against his and felt the warmth of Roy; flames were licking his ear. But the flames didn't hurt, instead they gave him pleasure.

"Don't stop." He whispered so quietly that he wasn't sure did Roy hear it. He kissed the boy's neck and started to take off the general's tunic. Roy stopped and sat up on top of his stomach.

"No." He said softly, his finger on his lip. "I still want to fight with you."

Crap.

"But catch your breath in peace. We'll start when you're feeling completely fine again."

"Okay…"

Roy laid back and continued kissing his ear. Link wanted to have Roy right there right then, but he knew the general wouldn't want that.

Soon Link stood up, feeling great again. He ate a tomato brought to him by Roy and told him he was ready. Roy put his armour back on as he stepped back. He held the Sword of Seals in his right hand, jumping lightly.

"Come and get me." He said.

"I will." Link answered and rushed at Roy. Their swords met and sparkles flew in the air. Roy felt that Link was so close, the elf pressed the sword against Roy so that their faces would be closer.

Just a little bit closer…

Roy watched as Link, who was more powerful, made him take a few steps back. He realised that a wall was behind his back and that he'd need to attack to get out of the situation. Link was faster. He hit Roy's sword again with his own and pressed the general against the wall. Their mouths were now only inches apart, kept apart by their swords. Link kissed the boy, who jumped and went back.

"A good one. Really good one." Roy said. He was enjoying the fight completely. The Hylian jumped after him, dodging Roy's blow. They rolled around each other.

Roy flew back from the power of Link's blow.

Wow! He's so strong! There's no way I can beat him like this…

Roy stood up and rolled behind Link. He hit the elf with Flareblade, but it didn't do much damage. Link turned around just to see that the boy was already behind him again, giving him a strong smash. The Hylian flew to his face on the ground.

I want you to win, Roy… I don't want to fight… I give you an easy victory.

"Get up. I don't want to win like that. Beat me! I want to be beaten!" Roy's energy was so strong. Link could only watch it in amazement as the boy general gave him a hand and pulled him up.

Link made a double smash and hit Roy. The boy flew back, but did a mid-air jump and landed in front of him.

He's too far for my sword to hit him, but not for my hookshot…

Link used his hookshot and pulled Roy near. Instead of smacking and punching him, he gave the redhead a passionate kiss.

Haha! Beat that!

Roy put his hands around Link, closing his eyes.

"You won." He said silently.

"I guess I did."

I won your heart ages ago.

Link took off the hookshot and put it under his shield. He held the boy in his arms, just to feel the breathing of the one he loved. Roy smiled and kissed Link's lips.

"You truly are better than I am."

Why can't you say I love you, Link! Say it! I want to hear those three words from you, Roy!

"I wouldn't say that. I was just lucky."

Roy shook his head as he caressed the elf's face with his finger. He remained silent, but hugged Link tight. Then he lowered his hands and the blonde closed his eyes, holding Roy.

"All smashers! Time for lunch! Get back to the Smash Building, or you'll miss it!" A deep man's voice said. Roy let go of Link and pushed him away, a bit frightened.

"You okay?" Link asked, his cerulean eyes wide.

"Yeah, I just freaked out… I thought somebody caught us in the act." He smiled nervously. Link laughed and teleported the both of them back to the Smash Road.

"Quite a fight!" He said. "It's a pity it ended in a draw…"

"I already told you, you won!" Roy said, his blue eyes filled with the flames inside him. The Hylian didn't listen to him, he just walked to the platforms that took them to the Smash Building.

"Now we can go and wake Young Link up, if someone hasn't already done that!" Roy said cheerfully. He knew that Link would get excited to see his mini again.

"Yes. I had totally forgotten him…"

"That's what I do." Roy laughed as he jumped on top of a platform. "Come on, Romeo."

Link climbed on the platform with him: "Romeo?"

"Never mind." Roy said as they got to the living room. Everyone else was already eating. They walked to the kitchen and saw that Zelda had made meatballs and potatoes with salad for lunch.

"Mmm! Smells good!" Roy commented as he took some meatballs. Link didn't answer. He was thinking about Young Link.

"What if I go and check on Young Link now? I'm afraid something's really happened to him."

"You should eat first. If something evil's attacked him, you can't fight it with an empty stomach now, can you?"

"You sound like my mother."

"I bet I do." Roy took his plate and headed for the dining hall.

Maybe I really should go and check if everything's all right with Mini-me… Or then just go with Roy and eat and then go… He stood still for a moment as he thought.

Well, Mini-me can wait for twenty minutes! He left the kitchen and took a seat next to Roy. The boy had almost eaten already.

"Wow! You eat really fast!"

"I've got to regain my energy!" Roy said before he drank. "This is delicious, Zelda!"

"Thank you!" Zelda blushed. She had spent the whole morning thinking what would she do for lunch and was now glad that everyone liked her cooking.
