Chapter 6: An Angel's Lips

The dining hall was filled with noise. I heard tons of laughter, gossip, battle strategies, and arguments scattered about. Most were about pointless topics, but I heard a certain few conversations where my name was mentioned.

"Did you see Pit?"

"What do you think was wrong?"

"I heard that Dark Pit was involved. He probably did the same thing he did to Mega Man."

I tried my hardest to ignore the mob of voices as I sat down at an empty table. I folded my arms and rested my head, allowing a swarm of thoughts to drone out the talking. I was only given a moment of peace however.

I heard a chair nearby get pulled out. I opened my eyes a crack to see Link, Zelda, and Pit sit by me.

"Hey, Dark Pit. Is it okay if we sit here? There are no more open tables." Link asked.

I grunted in reply and lifted my head, slumping against the back of my chair. I stared at Pit, noticing how much better he looked compared to before. He sat taller and the glow that he so often wore on his face was beginning to show through.

We all sat in silence for a while, something I didn't mind, when Zelda began to constantly whisper to Pit. Every time she did so, his posture would slump ever so slightly and his face would pale. This was sometimes accompanied by a slight shake of his head. Link seemed oblivious to this, though. He kept on staring at me, as if he were expecting me to jump up and attack a random passerby.

"Link? How about we go get some food for Pit?" Zelda suddenly asked, standing up and out of her seat. I saw Pit glance up at Zelda in almost a state of panic, but she ignored it and began to drag Link off in some other direction, leaving me and Pit alone.

Pit stared down at the table, his face gaining a faint red tint every time he looked up at me. I was about to say something when I heard a new voice from behind me.

"Pit? Is that you?"

I turned around and saw a tall figure, a man with snow white hair who wore long, midnight black robes. In his arms he held a tattered brown book and on his side I saw a sheath for a blade. I didn't recognize him whatsoever, but Pit seemed to know him.

"Robin? What are you doing here?" Pit shouted out as he jumped out of his seat and ran over, shoving me in the process.

"Lucina and I were invited to join this year's smash. Who's your friend?" Robin asked.

Pit glanced over at me and smiled, "That's Dark Pit," he answered, "He's a newcomer as well."

Robin extended his hand towards me, "Nice to meet you, Dark Pit." He said. I shook his hand and nodded in reply.

"Anyway, I just saw you over here and decided to wish you luck. I got to get back to Lucina and Marth. See you around?" He asked.

"Yea. See you!" Pit replied as Robin walked off.

I stood up beside Pit and rested an arm on his shoulder, causing him to blush slightly, "So, how do you know him?" I asked.

"Oh, um… I kind of ran into him a while back. It's a long story." He replied with a smile.

I let out a small laugh, "Anyway, Pit, I want to tell you something…" I began.

"Yea? What is it?" He asked. I could hear a faint tone of hope in his voice.

"Here, follow me." I said. I began to walk out of the dining hall, and I could hear Pit hurrying behind me. As we walked out I saw Link and Zelda staring at us out of the corner of my eye. I had a feeling they, or at least Zelda, would follow us. Luckily, I didn't care.

Soon enough, we were outside of the castle, standing in the courtyard. I slowed to a stop.

"So, what is-?" Pit began, but he was quickly cut off by me planting my lips against his. I could feel his face heat up against mine.

I pulled away from him to see his reaction. He was staring at me wide eyed, his entire face a deep pink. I let out a little laugh and smiled at him. His mouth formed a smile as he gazed back at me.

I pulled us together again and kissed him softly. He immediately kissed me back, wrapping his arms around my neck.

I heard a loud squeal from beside us and pulled away from Pit.

Just a few feet away from us stood Princess Zelda, covering her mouth with one hand. She looked almost as happy as Pit, which I personally didn't get.

"No! Don't stop!" She said, "I'll just… how about I go?" She laughed and walked away. I saw her stop behind one of the pillars leading to the entrance of the castle. I heard Pit giggle slightly and I looked back towards him. He shrugged and blushed a shade deeper. I grabbed his hands in my own.

"Well?" I asked.

Pit pulled me into a deep kiss, one that felt much more alive than the last.

We pulled away once more. After a moment's pause, I spoke.

"How about we finally get some dinner?" I asked.

Pit laughed, replying with, "Sure. Why not?"

I put my arm around his shoulders, and together we walked back into the palace.

Authors Note:

It's not over!

It may seem like it, but I'm not even close to having it finished.

It could take a while, but maybe if you left some more reviews it could inspire me to work harder.
