Chapter 5: An Angel's Reveal
"So, he never stopped by?" I asked Mega Man.
"No, Pittoo. Your boyfriend never came by to see me. Why?" He responded
"I just really need to talk to him."
"Well, obviously. I just called you Pittoo AND called Pit your boyfriend, and I'm not passed out on the floor. Anyway, I think I saw him pass by. He was heading outside to the courtyard."
I ran out of the room quickly, not bothering to ask any more questions and not wanting to speak to Mega Man any more than I already had.
I spotted him immediately, sitting on the rim of one of the dozens of flower beds. I began to walk towards him, but I stopped quickly. There were two people sitting beside him. I recognized the two from when we first got here.
To his left sat Princess Zelda, and to his right was Link. Pit had obviously been crying, and the two looked like they were trying to comfort him. I was beginning to lose any motivation I had to talk to Pit. I knew that if I went over there now, I would only make things worse.
I turned and started to head back for the castle when I heard Princess Zelda say something.
"Hey, isn't that him?" She shouted.
I looked back and saw Pit raise his head and smile. He waved at me weakly, not making any other movement. Princess Zelda said something to him, and he shook his head in reply. The princess sighed and began to move over towards me.
"Hey, Dark Pit?" She asked, "What's up?" She stood next to me.
"Um… nothing, really." I felt really awkward, especially knowing that she knew about Pit.
She stayed silent for a moment, as if trying to figure out what to say next. I felt exactly the same.
I figured that this was going nowhere, so I decided to simply leave. I went back into the castle, leaving Zelda behind.
"Wait, Dark Pit!" She exclaimed, "I just have one thing to ask you."
I stopped, still facing away from her.
"Do you know how Pit feels? About you?" She asked.
I paused, soon responding with, "Yes. I know."
"And do you…?"
I didn't know what to say to her. I pondered it for a moment, deciding whether or not to tell the truth.
"No." I finally said, "I don't."
I then hurried off, not letting her say anything else to me. I was beginning to wonder if I had done the right thing, lying to her. I knew that she was going to immediately go and tell Pit, but then what?
I passed the room where Mega Man was and heard him yell out mockingly, "So how'd it go? Did you kiss?"
I stormed through the halls of the castle, not stopping until I reached the room where Pit and I would be staying. I sat on one of the chairs by the wide window and pulled my knees up to my chest. I sat there for hours, my mind completely blank. I could have stayed there for even longer if Link hadn't come in. He wouldn't look at me.
"Dinner is starting soon. Be in the dining hall in about ten minutes." He muttered before quickly closing the door.
I pulled myself off of the chair and began to head towards the door. I grabbed for the door handle and stopped.
What am I going to do? I thought.
I knew that I couldn't speak to Pit… or Mega Man… or Zelda… or Link… or anyone else, for that matter. I had a feeling that everyone already had heard.
I sighed and turned the handle, walking down towards the dining hall, and towards ultimate self-destruction.
