After the hug we sat there for hours and talked, just like when we were younger. We watched the sunset and Marth got up, wiping the dirt from his clothes.
"I suppose we should head back.."
I could tell from his voice he didn't really want to, he probably had a lot going on with this war about to happen. I stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder reassuringly. Just like always, Marth forced a smile.
"Marth-..."
"C'mon, I'll take you home." He cut me off, taking my hand and pulling me to the horse. I guess he didn't want to hear what I was going to say..
"You'll need to pack your things tomorrow, so you can come live in the castle." He said as he climbed on the horse. I got on behind him and hugged onto him tightly, resting my head on his back. 'He's never acted this way before, he always tells me everything..'
The ride home was quiet, I almost fell asleep multiple times, keeping myself awake only to keep from falling off the horse. When we made it home Marth hopped off and helped me down, walking me to my door.
"I'll see you tomorrow then?" He asked, his eyes seemed so lost, sad..
"Of course.." I replied, keeping things short so that I wouldn't bother him.
He nodded and turned around but paused for a moment.
"Marth..?"
"Amelie.. I apologize for how I've been acting, I know it's bothering you. I promise I'm alright, I'm just drained."
"It alright, you've been under a lot of pressure. You should just go get some rest." I forced a smile, I didn't want him worried about me on top of everything else.
"Y-yeah.. I'll see you tomorrow, thank you.. For everything..." He replied, climbing onto his horse. Before I could say anything else, he left.
I sighed and walked in, flopping down on my bed. I fell asleep within minutes.
