Twist of Fate- a Marth x Ike Fanfiction

Chapter 3

Marth's POV

Ten minutes after I arrived at my house, I heard a knock on the door. I picked myself up, somehow, and opened the door.

Roy.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Not really." I hug him out of nowhere and cry on his shoulder.

"Let's go to Ike's house. I'll explain everything to you on the way." He pats and rubs my back.

"No."

"There's another side to this story. Just come with me." Roy practically pulls me out the door.

-Time Skip to Ike's door-

I can't believe I would hurt Ike like that without even listening to his side of the story. Any chances I had with him are probably gone now.

I knock on the door. Ike's mother opens the door.

"Ike and Pit are in Ike's room. You can head up, but Ike doesn't seem to want to see anybody right now." Ike's mother says.

"Thank you." We head up.

I hear what sounds like Ike leaning on the door, crying, and Pit trying to comfort him.

"Ike! Let me in. Open the door." I bang on the door.

"No. I've hurt you too much. Just leave." Ike cries.

"No. I'm not giving up on you. Open the door." Tears are starting to form in my eyes.

"I said LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE! Just go. I don't want you to be hurt." Ike whispers the last part.

"If I were to give up, I wouldn't ever forgive myself." I pause. "I still love you, Ike."

"I don't want to hurt you anymore than I already have. Find someone else." His words are cold.

"Roy told me everything. I know you love me too." I try to sound soft.

"He told you?" Ike's tears are obvious.

"Yes. Now open the door so I can see your beautiful face." I say.

The door opens and I am smothered by a surprise hug. I cry on Ike's shoulder as he cries on mine.

"I- I love you, Marth!" Ike cries. "I'm so sorry for what I've done to you!"

"W- Will you b- be my boyfriend?" I ask.

"What do you think?" Ike uses some playful sarcasm.

"So, yes?" Ike kisses me. I can feel the need. The need for me.

"I can't live without you, Marth. I need you." Ike says once he breaks the kiss. "I can't imagine my life without you in it, boyfriend or otherwise."

"I need you too. Never leave my side again. I won't be hurt. I promise." I hug him.

"I'll never leave you. And I'll never hurt you." Ike looks me in the eyes. "I promise."

Ike kisses me again. I hold him as close as I can at this time when he needs me more than anybody else.

"I need to head home now. It's getting late and my parents will be getting worried. Let's go on a date soon. I love you." I say.

"We will go on a date soon. Love you too." He kisses me goodnight.

Pit, Roy, and I leave Ike's house, happy again.

"I'm so happy for you and Ike!" Pit pats my back.

"Thank you. But Link... Where is he?" I ask.

"He went home. We all are going to hang out tomorrow." Roy says.

"I'll forgive him. Hopefully Ike will as well." I say.

"Ike will. As long as you do, he should." Pit says.

We arrive at my house and I bid my farewells. Now's the time for me to tell my mom. This will be fun. What could I say, anyway? Hey, mom, I had fun at the party. By the way, Ike is now my boyfriend. And there was really good baklava. Did I mention there was baklava?

-Note- I love baklava.

My mom is waiting for me at the door. I greet her.

"You're back rather late. What took you so long?" Mom asks.

"Ike was hurt so we went to see him after he left." I hide what I have to say a little longer.

"Oh. Is he o-"

"Ike is now my boyfriend." I interrupt.

"Oh my. WHAT?!" She's about to go full Hulk.

"Ike is now my boyfriend." I repeat.

"When did this start?" She sounds angry.

"Tonight." I think I just wrote my name in the Death Note.

"No. It can't be. You can't date another boy. It is sinful, and wrong, and-"

"I don't care about whether it's wrong or right. I love him very much and he loves me. We've loved each other for a while now, just not daring to tell the other." I interrupt.

"That's not true love. Boys can only love girls as more than just a sister and friend. You only love Ike as a brother. You're just fooling yourself." Her words are bitter and cold.

"I'm not fooling myself. I need Ike to carry on living. Just accept it." I can talk with a bitter tone, too.

"I can't and I won't. Go to bed." What am I, ten?

"I love him, mom. I really do. I can't live without him. I need him more than I need food. Or oxygen. Or water. He is my everything and more."

"You can't love him. It's impossible."

"Stop fooling yourself, mom." Now it's me that is about to go full Hulk on her.

"That's it. You're grounded. For the next two weeks. No leaving the house, no TV, no video games." Why must she do this to me?

"There are two days left of school. I assume that I can leave this house for that?" I try to sound less angry than I really am.

"Yes. Go to bed. Now." No point in trying to disobey.

"Good night." I head to my room and go to sleep. Not like I could do anything else.

-Note- So somewhere between fluffy stuff and emotional roller coaster. And, of course, the yaoi. Can any of you readers guess why the best number is 5,318,008? Hint: it's a reference.

Will update at some point in life.
