Warning: A semi-sexual theme.

Also, I tried something new with this theme. It jumps from Ike's point of view to Sheik's point of view. Not sure if I should do this often, but I figured I should at least try once. Tell me if you guys like it. :)

Ike's POV:

"Samus, are you sure we are allowed to go in? I mean, she could still be sleeping."

"Doubt it. Sheik never sleeps this late."

"Then she must be really tired so let's let her sleep."

"No way. I know Sheik better then you, Ike. Something is clearly wrong."

I sighed in defeat as I followed the blonde ponytail down the hall. We reached Zelda and Sheik's door and Samus opened it. It was dim and warm once we stepped inside. Zelda's bed was made and Sheik's bed was empty. The pillow was turned sideways and the blanket was on the floor.

"Sheik?" Samus whispered softly. She lifted the blanket off the ground but there was no one underneath it.

I decided to check the bathroom while Samus went to the closet. I opened the bathroom door to find Sheik hugging the toilet. Did she sleep walk? I walked closer and found vomit in the toilet. She's sick. I gently pushed backed her bangs to reveal closed eyes. She looks exhausted.

"Samus," I whispered, leaving the bathroom. "In here."

Samus quickly came into the bathroom. "See? I told you something was wrong," she said, smacking my arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" I nearly shouted at her. Samus and I both froze as Sheik groaned and shifted, but she remained asleep.

"For being and inconsiderate and loud asshole," Samus whispered. She went over to Sheik's side and tried to pull her up.

"Here, let me," I offered. I pulled Sheik out from the toilet and carried her in my arms, careful not to wake her. She was light weight for someone who could pack a punch. As if knowing I was holding her, she snuggled closer to me. Once I stood up, Samus immediately put her hand against Sheik's forehead.

"She has a fever. I'll go get her some medicine," Samus said. "Just lay her on her bed and don't disturb her."

I nodded and carefully went to Sheik's bed. As I lay her on the bed, Sheik whined and brought her body closer to mine. I tried again, but she wrapped her arm around my upper body and refused to let go. I heard her sigh as she returned to sleep.

Now what?

Sheik's POV:

SMACK!

"Ow! What was that for?"

I groaned, annoyed at being awake. It was too bright and my head was pounding.

"For being an inconsiderate and loud asshole." Samus? Shit, she's probably here to reprimand me for missing breakfast and training. I felt hands to my left wrap around me and begin tugging at me.

"Here, let me." The hands to my left released and a new set replaced them. I flinched as larger hands pulled me out from under the toilet and closer to its warm body. Breathing in his smell, I snuggled in closer to him.

I felt a smaller hand place itself on my forehead. "She has a fever. I'll go get her medicine. Just lay her on her bed and don't disturb her."

After a few moments, I heard the bedroom door close. We started moving and I felt my back touch the cold bed. No, it's too cold. I whined and pulled myself closer to him, away from the iceberg. He tried again but I wrapped my arms around him. I didn't want him to leave. His heartbeat increased as he realized I wasn't going to let go. I felt his muscles ripple under my arms and I shivered involuntarily. I wanted to wrap myself around him, feeling his every movement. To feel his hot breath on my skin. He decided to lie down on my bed and place me next to him. his large hand rubbed my back and I moaned, causing him to stop. He resumed but stopped again once the door opened.

"Ike? What the hell are you doing?" Samus whispered.

I opened my eyes at the sudden realization of the scene. Me and Ike in the same bed. I wasn't properly dressed. Samus walking in, holding medicine. Wait a minute.

Me and Ike in the same bed?

Without thinking, I left his hold and rolled off the bed, falling to the floor and landing at Samus's feet. I was blushing wildly and still felt excited. Where had those feelings come from?

"She-uh- wouldn't let go," Ike stammered. He was red like a tomato.

Samus looked back and forth between the both of us, confusion and concern on her face. "Okay. Well, I have the medicine now, so you can go. I'll take care of her," Samus said, trying not to be awkward.

Ike nodded and quickly got up. The door closed gently behind him.

"You wouldn't let go?" Samus questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"I-I was having a bad dream," I lied.

She rolled her eyes, clearly not buying my excuse. Thankfully, Samus didn't question me further. She offered me a hand, and I took it, standing up.

"Here, take this," Samus placed the medicine into my hand. "After that, you go straight back to bed. No training, no matches, and no going outside. It's too cold."

I nodded, not bothering to argue with her. Even though it was almost noon, I was still exhausted and gratefully climbed back into bed. Samus picked up the blanket and placed it on me before leaving the room.

I turned over, taking a deep breath. I smiled as Ike's smell flooded my nostrils. If only he had stayed..

Okay, it wasn't that sexual..

But I hoped you enjoyed it anyway. :D

(sorry, again, for it being short..)

Next Theme: Echoes

(This is going to take a while due to the fact that I want it to be long.)

Have a great day! :)
