Sapphire Eyes

Ch. 4- Replacement

  [CONTAINS VARIOUS THEMES OF IKE CUSSING AND IKE ANGST!]

                                        [YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

Ike's POV--

How come he has to stay with us? And for weeks! Why can't he stay with some other smasher he knows? It's probably because we're from the same series..

I stare out of the window with wind coming from the room's open door brushing my hair against my face. I grunt heavily, not even bothering to care if anyone heard me.

That redhead...Ren, or Roy, was it? Every single day, he gets on my f**king nerves..

No POV--

The mercenary took a strong...disliking to the general, whose name is Roy. Despite the fact that there was a celebration downstairs for the returning smashers, newcomers, and soon-to-be newcomers, Ike sat in his tidy room. Surprisingly, he cleaned it due to boredom. Apparently, there was a poll going on about the four smashers from Melee that were left behind: Dr. Mario, Mewto, Roy, and Pichu (A/N: Minus Young Link, because he's technically Toon Link!). Due to the huge fan-adoration of the characters, the Nintendo team decided to let the fans choose who got re-confirmed. During the process, the four melee characters were to stay with the smashers of their own series', which explains why Ike is pissed.

Well, I'll be damned if he makes it high on the polls-- scratch that, if he stays!

Ike turned to go downstairs after a few minutes of doing nothing. "Oh well, it's only for a few weeks. Then I'll have the little sh*t out of my hair.." He assured himself as he made his way to the stairwell. "I might as well enjoy myself, no use being cooped up in a corner all day."

Marth's POV--

I can't find him anywhere! I checked his room, but he wasn't there! The kitchen was another spot I'd thought he would be at, but it was empty.. I'm getting kind of worried..

I sprint around the mansion frantically looking for Ike. Every single place I look in, he isn't there. Every corner I turn I can't seem to take my mind off of his safety, even though he may not be able to get hurt easily. 

Was he really that jealous? Of Roy, I mean, seriously?

I grunt out of tiredness, but I know I must find Ike! I know I must find--Oof! 

No POV--

Both smashers were sprawled out on the floorboards due to the sudden impact. "Argh, watch where you're going-- Marth?" The mercenary gaped at the sight of the king whom he had just bumped into. "Ike, yokatta, thank Naga! I couldn't find you anywhere!" The teal-haired royal said, standing up and dusting any dirt from the floor off of his tunic. "I thought you were off with that general.." Ike replied dully, Marth seemed surprised. "Oh, Roy? I left him at the party to look for you! I told him it was an emergency, you should have been with us!" "I couldn't stay with you guys. Heck, I can't even look at him! How was I supposed to be in a decent conversation with..that guy?" Ike snapped with a distraught look on his face. Marth's confused look turned  into a very big grin.

"Marth, god! It's not funny!"

"Ike."

"What?"

"You're jealous, aren't you?"

"..."

The cerulean-haired mercenary's cheeks turned a small shade of pink. "N-no I'm not." He mumbled in a brusque tone, he soon realized that he was still on the floor. It only made the king's smile widen. "You know I would never replace you with someone else, even if I knew him longer than you!" Ike looked up at Marth, he was holding his hand out. The mercenary grabbed his hand and was helped up from off of the floor, his sapphire eyes full of gratitude. "C'mon, let's go downstairs to the party, everyone wants to see you. Even Roy.." "Well, that's a first!" The mercenary said with a grin. "Ike! Don't act like he hates you!" The royal elbowed Ike in the arm and both chucked. Side by side, the two swordsmen walked together down the flight of beautiful marble stairs.

A/N:

This was in the back of my head for a long time! Because of school, I had to postpone the release of this. Well, here it is! I am absolutely delighted with the 50+ reads I've recieved! Thanks for the support, everyone! I've also thought about making a Smasher x Reader series, so if you could give me any ideas on that as well, it would be a big help! Until Chapter 5, sayonara! ^.^
