"Say it!"

"No."

"C'mon! Say it!"

"No."

"Say it or i'll rip your throat out."

"No."

"Can you say anything else besides 'No'?"

"I won't say it."

"Ugh!"

It was quiet inside Smash Manor, of course, it was 2:00 in the morning. Marth and Samus were having a heartfelt conversation on the couch in the living room about something, or specifically, someone. "You know you want to say it~!" Samus cooed. "Oh really now?" The teal-haired monarch answered blandly. "Admit it, Marth! You like Ik--" Marth quickly covered the bounty huntress's mouth with his palm."Do. Not. Say. It." Samus quickly uncovered her mouth and said with a tone that said: 'I was right', "Oh! So you admit that you do?" "Wha? No! Samuuuuus!" Marth whined. The king's scowl turned into a crimson blush, causing Samus to grin. "I already know you do, Marth!" "Fine! I like....Ike!" Marth shouted in a defeated tone. 

"Mph?" Samus turned to see who made the noise, but Marth kept his head down in shock that someone heard him say that. "Oh, hey, Ike! Come here for a second!" Marth's eyes widened when Samus said that. "It was Ike that heard me? How embarrassing!" He thought. The mercenary was up to get a midnight snack-- meat of course. He had swallowed the lot he had in his mouth and came over to the two other smashers. "What just happened?" Ike asked, puzzled by Marth's outburst. "He just admitted it~!" The bounty huntress said with a smirk on her face.

"Admitted what?"

"That he likes you!"

"Oh.." Ike's puzzled look turned into one of sincerity. Marth turned his head just an inch to see Ike's face. The face he saw with the sapphire eyes turned into one full of pure happiness. The mercenary put his palm on Marth's face and turned it to look at him.

"I like you too, Marth."
