"Mmmmmha!" Mario cried as he send his Final Smash toward Marth. Marth panicked and tried to get out of the way, but it was too late for dodging.
"Ahh!" Marth screamed as he was thrown out of the field by Mario's powerful blow.
"Game!" the announcer shouted over the microphone. "Mario wins again."
Everyone who was watching the smash game stood up applauding for Mario, including you. You've been in the Smash family for quite sometime now. You kinda felt sorry for Marth since you and him are very close friends, but it is Mario who you really have feelings for.
After Mario stepped down from the battle field, you went to his locker room hoping to catch him before he had to go change.
"Mario!" You called.
Mario turned around. He had a water bottle in mid air, as if he was about to drink from it. He also had a towel around his neck. His red cap was nowhere in sight, leaving his curly, chocolate brown hair out in the open.
"Oh hey (Y/N), what's up?" He smiled at you.
"I'm just wondering, since you're so good at Smash, do you mind train me?" You asked nervously. Asking your crush to train you is a little bit harder since it can be awkward. But to your surprise, he'd agreed to it.
"But I'm not the only good Smasher out here." He said, a little confused. "There's Cloud, Link, Captain Falcon, Bayonetta, Samus, and countless others. But why me?"
"Because you seem a lot nicer than all the other Smashers. Some of them are little terrifying..." You said, cringing.
Mario gave you a hearty laugh. "Yeah, probably. There are even people I'm terrified with. Take Gannondorf, for example. He's scary enough to pressure a Smasher when they first enter the battlefield."
You stood in place. The invincible Mario would be fearful? You shook your head. He's a human, so of course there would be things he would feel skeptical about.
Seeing the look on your face, he chuckled.
"Yep, might be unbelievable, but I'm also afraid of Ridley. You know what he did right?" He asked.
You nodded. You remember when Ridley first came to the Smash mansion. He tackled Mario, Mega Man and Samus so hard that it traumatized them for a long time before they're seen on battlefield again.
"Yeah, I don't blame you. Anyone would be afraid after what they did. but you're so much nicer than all of them so I decided that I to be trained by you." You said.
Mario smiled. He opened his water bottle and took a big gulp.
"So what do you say if we train tomorrow?" He asked you after he swallowed the water.
"Sure!" You agreed.
The next day, you were pretty excited. Mario was going to train you personally, and you couldn't wait. You put on your normal fighting outfit and went to the place Mario had told you to go. When you arrive, Mario was already there waiting for you.
"Oh hey Mario!" You greeted him.
"Hey (Y/N). You ready?" He asked, getting into fighting position.
"Ready when you are." You smirked. You were going to show Mario a thing or two just to give him a good impression.
You went for the attack first. You dashed over to Mario with your fast speed. You knew Mario's a combat fighter, so if you keep him on the floor he will not be able to damage your life in major ways, versus being thrown in the air and being beat up by his rapid punches.
You grabbed him by the arm and was about to give him a fist when he wiggled out of your grip. He had seen your fighting style before, he knew you're a grabber so he had tried his best to avoid attacking you up close. You jumped away from him. You were about to go for another attack when you noticed he wasn't in front of you. You looked around in alert, knowing he would do a sneak attack when you let down your guard. You hear a noise above you, and sure enough. He was charging down at you with a hard punch.
"First tip," He said while he was still zooming down. "Don't underestimate your opponent. You never know what kind of trick they'll pull on you."
You jumped away to avoid his fist as you remembered the times where you were beat because of underestimation of your opponent.
"Thanks for pointing that out to me, I didn't think you've noticed." You said as you charged at him with (Your special move). Mario easily dodged it and corrected you with another remark.
"Tip number two, plan your attack before you use your powers. Think about your opponent's weakness and start from there."
You pursed your lips. What was Mario's weakness again? Then it struck you. He doesn't respond well with sword fighters. You frowned. It doesn't help anything. You don't have a sword with you.
"I know your weakness, but I don't exactly have the weapon I need with me." You shouted. You almost didn't see Mario coming at you again. You jumped out of the way, following your instinct. You landed and you panted. Who knows training with Mario could be so energy-draining?
Seeing how tired you looked, Mario decide to take a break.
"Hey, (Y/N), let's take a little rest yeah?"
"Okay." You replied and walked over to the nearby log and sat down. Becausethere were no chairs since you were training in a forest.
"Here, have a drink. You don't want to be dehydrated." He said, then winked. "That's tip number three."
You giggled. He is more funny when he isn't fighting on the battlefield.
Seeing how sweaty you were, he grabbed a towel and began dabbing your wet forehead. You blushed at his action. He then very intimately brushed a few strands of hair out of your face. You were speechless, why is he doing this?
"Hey (Y/N), I have a question for you." He said, hand stopped at your cheek. You turned and looked at him.
"If I say I'll protect you and train you for the rest of my life, will you accept me?"
Your eyes widen. You didn't know what he meant by that. It then struck you. Is he asking you to be his girlfriend?
"Yes." You blushed as you look down. He smiled and pulled you in for a hug. You blushed harder, but you enjoyed his company as the two of you resumed your battle training.
