~ Chapter 2: The Fate Of Friendship

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Aether"! Ike shouted as his sword rose to the air allowing him to somersalt strike on his enemy. Ike had begun to remenisce on his actions with Marth today.

"(Sigh... Marth's probably in his confused state again. I probably shouldn't have acted so hasty)." He'd thought upon himself as he continuously walked with his partner, Xaos, for the mission.

Aside from the Altean Prince, Xaos was also another close companion of Ike's. He could scan Ike like a computer; knowing the emotions in his actions, and is able to speak very formal about their problems they emit.

"sigh"...Ike stressed releasing tension. Xaos eyed him with perplexing curiosity.

"Ike... you know we can talk about anything, right? It's about Marth isn't it?"

Ike then released another sigh from his tension.

"Well... I sorta kissed him, and to make it worse, I left without explaining as well." He concluded.

Xaos layed an arm around his shoulder, comprehending Ike's situation prior to the moment. Heck... maybe Ike will finally recieve the answer's he'd been attempting to resolve.~

"Ike... all I can say is... to follow your instincts and trust your heart. Xoas stated"

"What the hell? Is that all you have to say Xaos?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

But Xaos was too busy eating his essential apple granola bar to respond. Ike released his final sigh as they both had more enemies to bring to judgement. Ike prepared himself and decided to put his thoughts aside. Lets see how Marth-Kun is doing, shall we?

~Back Inside The Castle~

Marth was lurking around, asking others regarding Ike's TRUE orientation. Not many cittizens gave him a true, nor accurate statement. Marth then decided to go ask the one person who'd possibly could give him an precise answer...Lyn. Marth stepped forth up to lyn's room, and knocked upon it. Lyn pleaded to open the door.

"Marth? I thought you'd be training? What's on your mind?" She asked with sympathy.

"I... I need to associate with you about Ike." He said lowering his head.

Lyn already assumed what was preluding in his thoughts. So, she invited him in and sat down for tea.

"So... He kissed you, huh? Lyn asked as she poured tea in his cup. "Y-yeah... and then he had to go. He said he'll explain once he returns... but...

I can't wait... and it's why I'm asking you." Marth Stated. "Mmm-Hmm." Lyn mumbled shaking her head sipping some tea. "Well Marth... I do know a
little back-round on Ike, but I'm not sure if I'll be 100% accurate."

Marth Nodded in a understandment. He wanted to grasp any knowledge about Ike within his head, so his senses would make a clear vision. Lyn begun
her discussion.

"Okay... well, you know who Xaos is? Right?" she asked.

"Uh... yeah. He's one of Ike's closest friends." He stated.

"Correct. Now, about a few months ago, I overheard a conversation going on between him and Xaos in the courtyard. Of course, I was eavesdropping, and their sounded like an conclusion on one's love for another that Ike wanted to express to ANOTHER friend, and, I might of heard you name Marth." Lyn stated, being detailed as possible.

"R-Really? I... is that what they were truly discussing?" Marth skeptically asked with a red face and punding heart.

"I assume. But, like I said, I'm still NOT certainly accurate. Lets just hope that when he gets back to talk with you, I'll be right." She implied while sipping
more tea. Marth then lowered his head, hoping that what Lyn has stated aren't false accusations.

A few hours later, the Altean Prince lies there; trying to cope the gathering pieces of this configuring problem.

"Well... he still did kiss me. But... it could have been a little experimentation." He thought upon himself

Still Brainstorming at the most, a young green-haried boy approaches the prince, precisely at the age of 12. His name was Ryugu.

"Hi-ya Marth! Watcha doin? Huh? It doesn't matter! ^_^! Wanna go to the beach and play volley ball with me? :D"

"*Sigh*... no, I can't at the most Ryugu." He said smiling & scratching his head.

"Awwwww! Whyyyyy?! D:. It just only looks like you're having another Emo day! Okay fine! lets either play some Basketball, football, baseball, tennis, go surfing, Skiing, Skydiving, Soccer, La cross, horse-back riding! Or, or maybe even Charades!"

"Ryugu... go away..." Marth said calmly while frowning.

"Fineeeeee, I'll just go ask Roy then!" He said walking away sticking out his tongue.

"Huff..." The Altean Prince sighed.

It also wasn't before long he'd heard voices lurking around the head of the castle's entrance. Marth peaked over the brick walls gaping the courtyard, and spotted Ike and Xaos approaching; seemingly returning from their mission. "Oh sh-!" The Altean prince spouted covering his mouth.

...He then quickly rushed back inside the castle and planned to straight up head toward his room hoping to avoid the prescence of Ike. But Nooooooo, Marth had to be an un-planned IDIOT and un-expectingly run down the dinning hall. Marth then stopped his tracks and tugged his body behind the wall.

At the time... Ike was associating with one one of the lieutinants. He'd ask if he'd seen Marth anywhere; the lieutinant gave him an unaware response. Ike scratched his hair out of questioning solitude. Then he proceeded down the hallways end, where Marth was hiding. The Altean prince couldn't believe his fortune, as his heart begun to race faster than a canine. He then moved out of sight and ran towards the Lunch hall.

"Augh... who was that?" Ike said out of curiosity.

As Marth continued to speed; Whilist looking back, he accidently bumped into roy in the lunch hall.

"Agh... ow..ngh" Marth moaned hovering his head on his hand.

"Owww... Marth, why are you running so fast without looking?" Roy questioned.

"Nghh... why are YOU always in the lunch hall?" He said with irritation.

"Humph... oh! Hey look Marth! It's Ike-Kun =D." Roy pointed

"Hah!... u_u' Roy, do you honestly think I'm gonna fall for tha-...O_O'." He stated turning his body with widened eyes.

"HEY! MARTH! THERE YOU ARE! WAIT THERE, I NEED TO TALK WITH YOU!" Ike shouted across the room

"gah.. Aghhh, uh... oh great!" Marth said as he sped out of the doors.

"Hey! Marth? where ya goin?" Ike said as he pursuited his trail passing roy.

"Ahhhh... I just enjoy chaos! Especially when it happens to Marth!" Roy said out of refinement.

With his dorm being too obvious, Marth decided to hide in Ike's room. To him, this kinda was a trickery, since Ike would anticipate him to be in his own room, and tried to go seek him else where. But, unaware of his actions, Ike returns to his own room to retrieve a valuable possession. Upon going going into Ike's dorm, Marth took in a thought to hide under his bed. Smart right? About a few moments later, Marth heard a tug on the door nob, and a voice outside the door.

"Why is my room door locked?" The voice said.

...Of course... it was Ike. The Altean Prince's very best companion.

"Oh wow! Ugh... I knew this wasn't a good place to hide." Marth silently regarded to himself.

The door pleaded to open. Ike was searching around his dorm for a peculiar item. An X-shiny x10 golden armor suit that Xaos had requested him to bring. Of course, you already knew how Marth was feeling. Nervous, anxious, distant, sweaty, and slightly horny. Then, at that moment Ike tried searching under his bed with his arm, and, felt a soft pressure on his hand. who could it be?

Please tell me if an sentence or statement doesn't make since~ ya know... so I can fix it?

It would greatly help :D...

Anyways, hoped you enjoyed Marth being super anxious all throughout this Ch.
