High-School Problems (Smash Bros Fanfic)

Chapter 11-Marth's POV

A/N: Back at it with this trash! Time to see how Zelink came along...

"Maaaaarrrthhhh..."

"What?" I groaned, not looking up from my book.

"I screwed it upppppp," Link whined, repeatedly smacking his head with his pillow.

"It's Saturday. Just let go of that for today."

"My mind turned into a broken CD player," he continued.

"Shut up, Link."

"It won't stop repeating that kiss..."

I slammed my book closed and pulled off my glasses. "For the last time, let it go for just on darn minute!"

Link pouted innocently and sat quietly. 

I sighed. "Thank you." And so I continued to read A Midsummer Night's  Dream in calming silence.

Finally, I thought, no interrupti--

The door swung open. "Link! Link!" Pit yelled at the top of his lungs. "Rosalina is missing!"

I spoke too soon.

"She's what?!" Link exclaimed, jumping out of his bed. 

"She's just...gone! Her roommate Pauline said that she left last night and didn't come back!"

"Pauline is in our school?!" I snapped. Now even I was concerned. I mean, come on! That whiny little toad is going to ruin the Mario-Peach cliche couple I worked so hard on in middle school!

"Apparently there's going to be a raffle," Pit explained, "and a boy is going to have the responsibility of finding her!"

I groaned. "I get that this school is full of fighters and whatnot, but the admin needs to stop dumping these things on us when their security fails!"

"Their security only fails because it's basically non-existent," Link said. 

"We have to be careful," I sighed. "There's obviously a kidnapper on campus. Anything could happen."

"Wh...what if Zelda gets kidnapped?!" Link randomly asked. 

"She won't if you're there for her." I grinned. "Actually, this is the perfect opportunity to make another cliche!"

"NO." Both Pit and Link refused at the same time.

Well...that hurt.

"We all saw how that last cliche turned out," Pit pointed out.

"Well, excuse me. Link did it wrong!"

"The only thing I did wrong was listen to you," Link snapped, going back to sulk in his bed. 

"Oh, come on, Link," I groaned, "I thought we were over this!"

"I'm sorry I can't just get over the fact that I lost my best friend and then randomly kissed her!" 

"You what?!" Pit shouted.

"Quiet down! We're probably the only ones awake right now, and we should not wake up Donkey Kong!" I hissed. He's next door to Link, and hates being woken up. Actually, so does Diddy Kong, his roommate. The last time I woke them up...oh, the thought itself gives me shivers.

"Okay, jeez," Link sighed. "So now I have to protect Zelda from getting kidnapped, and on top of that, she probably doesn't want to see my face."

"She doesn't want to see it, she wants to kiss it," I corrected.

"Ew! Gross!" Pit gagged.

"You wouldn't understand the urges of true love," I fired back, "you unearthly swine."

"Okay, that's enough." Link ran a hand through his (disgustingly, in my opinion) messy hair. "If you're going to drop diss tracks, please don't do it in my room."

I rolled my eyes. "Alright." I was about to go back to my Shakespeare, but then an idea came to me. "Link, what if you give some flowers to Zelda?"

"Right now?"

"Of course," I answered, "when else?"

"But...but I don't have flowers."

I gave him a death glare. "Then go find some."

***

"I got flowers," Link huffed, stumbling back into the room.

"Great," I smiled, "now go and..." my smile faltered as I realized exactly what flowers they were.

"What?" Link said awkwardly.

"Those are white lilies, you idiot!" I snapped.

"So...?"

I face palmed. "They represent DEATH!"

"Oh." Link looked at me and then back at the flowers. "Whoops."

"WHOOPS?! ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW--"

 "Quiet down! We're probably the only ones awake right now, and we should not wake up Donkey Kong!"  Pit repeated what I said earlier in a high pitched totally not-sounding-like-me voice.

"Shut up, unearthly swine!"

"Please," Pit replied, waving his hand dismissively, "look in the mirror first and then tell me who's the unearthly 'swine'." And then he added, "Unearthly swine."

"Stop." Link sat down on his bed, looking at the white lilies he got for Zelda. "I got white lilies because they're her favorite."

"They are?" I raised a brow. "That's a first. Why?"

Link looked at the flowers sadly. "She said they...remind her of her mother."

Silence.

"Well, then," I said, breaking the silence, "we should get going now!"

"Yeah, I guess."

***

I hid behind the column as Link gave the flowers. He begged me to come with him, so I did just that. I don't blame him though. It's the girls'  dorm, after all.

I watched in secrecy as the door opened. Link was already looking nervous.

"Um...h-hey, Princess," Link greeted. Darn. Why did Peach have to open the door?!

"I have a name, you know," she answered monotonously. Wow...she looks out of it. The bags under her eyes were big enough to carry groceries. Aside from that, her eyes were puffy and she wasn't wearing any makeup. What a rare sight!

"Peach," Link corrected awkwardly. "Is Zelda here by any chance...?"

"No," Peach yawned. "She went to the greenhouse to get some white lilies."

Shoot.

"W-well, when she comes back, just tell her that...uh...Link was here and he says he's really sorry. And he got some lilies." He shoved the flowers into the princess' hands and hurried away.

"What was that?!" I hissed at him.

"It's not like I knew she was out to get lilies!" he whisper-shouted. 

He looked hurt. It's not like I didn't notice. Love takes a toll on people.

"Hey, Link." I patted his back. "You're legendary. Who wouldn't fall for you?"

"But it's not the same if it isn't..."

"Zelda? I know." I sighed. "She'll come back to you, eventually. I promise."

Link looked at the floor. "Yeah," he said quietly, "eventually."
