2: Love
Once upon a time, before the foundation of Galaxies Against Giygas...
Three people found themselves trapped on an island, after a desperate escape from the assault on their previously home away from home. Samus, Pit, and Snake sat around a fire, as the sun of the universe they popped into began setting into the horizon. Samus was in her normal suit, arms crossed, peeved - her spaceship had been stolen in the midst of the escape, and she knew who's responsible and knew that they'd be kissing her metallic fist if she ever saw them again. Snake gazed at the fire with a stony gaze; normally, he'd be enjoying a cigarette, but seeing as there's nowhere to buy them, he had to ration what he had. As for Pit, the angel was staring intently into the fire.
Samus decided to put her anger in the back of her mind, for now. "Is it my turn to hunt for food?"
"Yeah, my shift's in the morning." Snake answered.
"Alright, I'm off." She said, standing up, arm cannon prepped for firing.
"Please don't blast the food apart this time."
"No promises." Samus took her leave.
The two men sit together, completely silent. Which did not sit well with Snake. "Kid, you're not babbling like you usually do." The older man said.
"Huh? Me?" Pit asked, snapping away from the fire.
"Who else?" Snake rolled his eyes. "Is something wrong?"
"Well, I'm just thinking... about Samus." Pit answered.
"Why?"
"O-oh, I'm just concerned about... food! Yeah, I hope she finds floor ice cream out there!" Pit said, laughing meekly before returning to the fire.
The older man sighed. "Do you think I'm stupid? You have some sort of crush on her, don't you?"
"Oh, me? Naaaah."
"Listen, kid." Snake put his hand on the angel's shoulder, patting it. "I'm not sure if Samus is interested in men, or even love. But if she was, she would probably want a real man. Preferably one that doesn't act like that Adam guy she complains about."
"Excuse me! I am too a man!" Pit defended, retaliating by shoving the mercenary. Who wasn't the least bit bothered by it.
"Was that the best shove you could do?" Then, with swiftness, Snake hit Pit with the palm of his hand, sending the poor boy flying. "This is the shove of a true man. The strength that people like Samus would appreciate."
"Are you saying that I would appreciate being shoved?" A cold voice said behind him. Samus had returned, carrying fruits and charred meats of unknown creatures under her arm. Snake couldn't see her eyes past the visor, but he could probably guess that she's glaring at him. "And what are you bullying Pit for?"
"Snake's just a big jerk!" Pit yelled from the ground, adding in a fake sob for good measure.
"Hmph. Snake, you get to preparing the food." The bounty hunter forcibly pushed her gathered food into Snake's hands; the latter cast an annoyed look at Pit as he was getting helped up by Samus, who was greatly appreciative for the help.
"God I feel like a loser... is this how it feels to be Raiden before he turned into a cyborg?" Snake thought to himself.
