I'm In Love With My Rival

Chapter Nine: Sneaking Around.

A month had passed since that first date, and the two angels were going strong. Pit's feelings for Pittoo became stronger and more real by the day, while Dark Pit's feelings for his doppelgänger never changed, because he was already so head over heels for him.

As often as they could they would meet at the secluded island where the end of their first date took place.

Some days or nights they couldn't meet up due to their duties or other reasons, but they always let the other know during the last meetup, so one wouldn't be waiting for the other and them not showing up, but with every excuse they made, every time they saw each other in secret, the Goddesses that they worked for became more and more suspicious of their commanders' whereabouts.

Pit however, felt especially guilty for every time he had to lie to Lady Palutena's face. It was seriously eating at him, so he thought it'd be best to let Pittoo know that he wants to tell her about them, hopefully when he saw him tonight to tell him, he'd be okay with it...

Dark Pit was flying towards his and Pit's secret island forest clearing, except he wasn't flying, he was being carried by Phosphora, who had her hands wrapped tightly around the boy's upper arms.

"You better not fucking drop me!" Pittoo hissed as he felt one of Phosphora's hands slipping.

She readjusts her grip before replying. "Calm down I got you, and if I did drop you, you'd only be falling for a second before a grabbed you again, it's not like I'd let you die." She says, her voice teasing, adjusting her grip again. "You're lucky you're not that heavy."

Dark Pit huffs but doesn't reply, for once he didn't feel like arguing.

The reason that Phosphora was carrying him instead of using the power of flight was because Viridi refused to grant him it. She kept going on about how he was asking to use it too many times and how he was always out and that she didn't know where he was half the time and blah blah blah. He stopped listening after about five seconds into her rant.

And since Phosphora was the only one that knew of his feelings for Pit and how he was successful in getting him to be his boyfriend, she offered to take him. At first he didn't want a bar of it since he had too much pride, but the thought of Pit waiting at the pond and him never showing, and that would lead to Pit being sad and disappointed, made him give in to her offer, as much as he hated it, he hated to make his boyfriend upset more.

So that's what brings us here to the now, and the angel of darkness was having regrets.

"Is that it over there?" Phosphora asked, nodding in the direction of the small-ish floating island.

Dark Pit turned his gaze from her to the island a ways ahead. "Yeah that's the one."

With another nod Phosphora flew over at a higher speed. It was late evening so it was fairly dark out, so no one was really around to see them, thankfully. Phosphora reached the edge of the island and stayed in the air as she dropped Pittoo onto the dirt covered ground without warning, he fell face first onto the dirt.

"Hey!" Dark Pit yelled angrily as he got up from lying on the ground and turned to face the Goddess.

"Ha ha ha! That was too good! Wish I filmed it." She responds while trying to hold in the rest of her laughter.

Pittoo just rolls his eyes and crosses his arms. "Are you going to pick me up from here later like you said?" He asked, deciding to change the subject and move on from that humiliating fall, he should've been able to expect something like that from her.

Phosphora stopped her giggling before she nodded. "I'll see if I can convince Viridi to extract you, but I don't know if I'll be able to." She tells him with an apologetic look.
