Sapphire Eyes

Sapphire Eyes Special- Thankful {HAPPY THANKSGIVING!}

What am I thankful for...?

The smell of turkey, cranberry sauce, and Peach's seasonal pies filled the halls of Smash Manor. All of the children were playing outside in the fall-colored leaves that delicately fell off of the trees that held them. Some of the other smashers were putting up decorations to celebrate Thanksgiving. This is where we begin..

"Hey, Mario! Could you pass me those streamers?" Link asked, standing on the ladder being used to put up the decor. Mario tossed up the roll of orange streamers to Link, who caught them with ease. "Thanks!" He had Navi help him by unrolling the stringy decoration. Meanwhile, Luigi was drawing Tanooki leaves and Captain Falcon helped him put them up. Soon enough, Toon Link and Ness came in to watch the older smashers decorate, they were grinning and their faces were terribly dirty from the leaves outside. "Ah! T.L., Ness, take your shoes off." Zelda rushed over with a wet cloth to wipe the dirt from their faces. "Alright, Auntie Zel." Toon Link replied, Ness nodded his head. "Okay!"

What am I thankful for...?

"Hey, Ike. We still need some help with those decorations! Would you like to pick out the chandelier?" Marth opened the door of the Fire Emblem seniors' room to find Ike laying on his bed. "Any of them would be fine.." The cerulean-haired mercenary muttered, obviously distracted by something else. The king's face turned into one of worry, he sat down beside Ike on the bed. "Ike, is something bothering you?" "No, I'm alright.." Ike kept his gaze at the ceiling, but Marth tried to snap him out of it by cutting his view. "Be honest, Ike. Something is bothering you, you haven't been this spaced out since..." Marth paused for a second, contemplating about whether or not he should say it, but he decided he should.

"...since both of your parents died."

[FLASHBACK]

"Father! Don't--! Don't leave-- don't leave me! Father!"

[END OF FLASHBACK]

The mercenary never lost his traumatized gaze, but the only thing different was the tears streaming down his face and his arms wrapping around the noble in a hug. "Ike, I'm sorry.. I never should have said anything.." Marth whispered, wiping the tears from Ike's sapphire eyes and going into tears himself. "No, it's fine. Plus, you reminded me that even though it's hard for me to be thankful, I will always be, even after my parents' death." "Hah..Ike, I'm happy that you are..." That was the last thing the monarch said before falling asleep in Ike's arms. "Goodnight, Marth.." The cerulean-haired mercenary gave Marth a peck on the cheek before falling asleep as well.

What am I thankful for...?

I'm thankful that you're here with me.

END.
