ENJOYY~ :3

A light breeze blew across the lush grounds of the smash mansion. It was particularly hot that day, for early spring. Link was once again locked up in his room lost in his own thoughts. Almost everyone in the house, especially those who knew the hero well could tell that something had been bothering him lately. Closing his eyes, Link flopped down on his bed in a desperate attempt to relax, but to no avail. The images from last night continued to flicker through his mind. That had been the fifth night he dreamt about Marth. What was wrong with him?! He had a girlfriend!

Yes, he had been with Zelda for a long time now. So long, in fact, that he seemed to be unaware of the fact that he no longer felt the same way about the elfin princess. He loved her, of course, she was beautiful, smart, kind, and wise; but he wasn't in love with her anymore. He groaned and rolled over on to his stomach continuing his unsuccessful attempts to empty his head.

"Link?"

"….Link?!"

"LINK?!?!"

Suddenly the door to the Hylian's room burst open and a strong looking, cerulean- haired man marched in. "ANSWER ME WHEN I CALL YOU!" Marth bellowed. Link new this haughty, stubborn side of Marth all too well. He would be fuming and ranting, refusing to do what he didn't want to one minute and the next he would be talking gently to one of the kid brawlers or helping Peach prepare a meal.

Link smiled sheepishly. "Sorry…"

"What were you doing in here anyway?" The prince demanded giving Link a skeptical look.

Quickly Link answered, "Just thinking," And blushed slightly, although Marth never noticed.

"Well...Okay. Breakfast is ready. You better come get it before Bowser and DK eat it all. Those guys are beasts! Oh, and I think Zelda was looking for you." Marth informed him. Then without even giving Link a second glance he left their room to train.

It was bad enough for Link to start to have romantic feelings for this guy while he had a girlfriend, whom he had been with for three years, but to complicate things further Marth was his roommate.

The blonde sighed and rolled off of his mattress. Marth seemed to be in one of those moods today. They had become more frequent ever since Roy left the mansion. He just seemed irritated and angry, but Link knew it was because he was feeling lonely. No one knew exactly what kind of relationship Marth and Roy had had but one thing was certain, they were closer than anyone else in the house. Most could understand why, with all of the similarities in their lives, what with losing their families and kingdoms. Plus they were roommates for a while. That was right, Link realized, Marth only moved in with him after Roy had left so suddenly.

Sometimes thinking about Roy and Marth's relationship made Link feel quite uneasy. How close had they really gotten? He scratched his head and wondered if it were possible to get that close with the Altean Prince, himself. Link shook his head and continued down the hall to the dining room, where he ate a quick breakfast and escaped before Peach could guilt him into helping wash the dishes.

The Hero of Time then made his way to Zelda's room. He knocked on the door to the room Zelda shared with Samus.

"Fuck off!" Samus snarled through the dark oak door.

"She's just kidding, Link, come on in."

Link pushed the door open in time to see Samus roll her eyes before returning to browsing through a new selection of armor in the magazine on her lap. Zelda smiled at Link from the table to the left of the room, where she was drinking her tea.

"Marth said you were looking for me..?" Link stated.

"Well, yes," the princess began, "I thought we could spend some time together before the match."

Shit. Link had totally forgotten about the next match! He had been so preoccupied with trying to figure out his feelings for Marth he hadn't even thought to check the board to see who he was up against.

"Right..." Link babbled brushing some hair out of his face, "the match! How could I forget the tournament? It's umm….. When is it again?"

"It's tomorrow dumbshit." Samus pointed out.

"Oh, yeah, ha-ha" Link replied nervously. Zelda looked up at Link, her crystal clear oceanic orbs searching his features. She rose gracefully and placed a soft hand delicately on her love's cheek.

"What's wrong Link?" she questioned seriously.

"N-nothing." He replied, trying with all of his might to avoid her burning gaze. "I just….. Haven't gotten much sleep is all! Yeah! Anyway, thanks for reminding me about the match! I'm going to go prepare. See you later." He quickly pecked Zelda on the cheek and sped out of the room.

Marth sighed as he left the training room. He was a fierce warrior! He could beat over one hundred computers! So, why couldn't he control his emotions dammit?! Just then he bumped into Ike. Ever since Roy left the only people Marth had really been close with were Link and Ike, and he most defiantly could not talk about this matter with Link. He looked up into Ike's stern features.

"Hey, Ike. Can… Can we talk?"

Ike stared deep into the prince's eyes. He could sense that something was truly bothering him. The large man grunted in response and led Marth through the large corridor to his room.

To the bluenette's relief Pit, the energetic angel Ike roomed with, was not there when they arrived. Marth perched awkwardly on the edge of the large couch that was pushed up against the off white wall. For a while he just stared at the brawler he had come to respect trying to figure out how to word what was coming up. Ike just stared back silently awaiting.

"I...ummm ... I Th-er, well…."

"Let me guess," Ike's deep voice interrupted, "ever since Roy left you've been depressed because the relationship you two shared was special to you. You loved him didn't you? But now, you are starting to lose some of those feelings for Roy and falling for another? Link, most likely. So, now you are confused and hurt because you miss Roy and you like Link and you feel guilty, like you're betraying Roy by liking Link."

"How... How did you know all of that?!" Marth demanded.

"You're easy to read."

Marth looked down at his boots. Was it really that obvious?

"Am I wrong..?" Ike asked.

"No…."
