A/N: A random story which came to mind after listening to the Gaur Plain music from Xenoblade Chronicles. (Don't ask; I don't know why either.) Keep in mind I haven't played SSB4, but I read Lucina x Dark Pit once and it stuck with me. Link x Marth is one of my favorite if not my favorite pair in the SSB universe, so why not, eh?

Warnings: Possible OOCness, shounen-ai, and maybe stupid humor. Read at your own risk.

With that said, enjoy and feedback is appreciated~!

Secrets

"So, it's not his fault," Marth says blandly, sharp eyes staring in ones similar to his own but different all the same. Lucina of Ylisse was a woman the Hero King came to respect, yet at the same time, sometimes she was a little naive.

"You're saying Dark Pit started the fight?" Lucina counters, eyes narrowing. "I know he is more prone to it, but if Link hadn't provoked him-"

"Nonsense. Link doesn't provoke people," the prince of Altea replies sharply, uncaring of the princess' flinch. "Perhaps it is our fault. We should have kept them away from each other."

"It might have been best," Lucina mumbles, fiddling with her hands. It was something Marth found a little adorable, but he wasn't one to make a move on his descendants.

Besides, Marth has his own love; the Hero of Time, Link. Their relationship was filled with rocky starts; however, over time, their bond grew and festered until they were in the relationship they are today. It makes the Hero King smile a little when he thinks of how awkward and shy Link was in the beginning. Averting his eyes, always addressing him as "my lord" or "prince"; neither of them could have imagined they would be what they are now.

"Prince Marth?" Lucina's voice breaks Marth out of his trance, and he flicks his eyes up to gaze at the princess with cool indifference. "Look over there."

He does so, and what he sees makes me want to throw his face in his hands. Link was in what looks like a heated argument with Pit's counterpart, Dark Pit, but a wild smile was on his face and the other male looks as if he's enjoying what Link's saying.

"You two!" Marth calls, feeling his face heat up when Link stares at him and Dark Pit smirks in a feral way. "You wanted to kill each other a second ago, but now you're conversing like old friends? What is the meaning of this?"

"Oh, Marthy," Dark Pit says with some snark, "We were fighting, but then we started spilling embarrassing secrets. I think we'll get along just fine now."

"Embarrassing secrets?" Lucina exclaims and Marth feels just a little sorry for her when her face flushes. "Gods, don't tell me you told of the time-"

"I did; sorry princess," the dark angel replies airily, the smirk settling to a smile when Lucina lets out an embarrassed noise and hides her face. "C'mon, it's not half as bad as the dirt Link has on Marth."

Marth narrows his eyes, a weird smile spreading across his face. "Pray tell, what secrets did you spill, love?" he asks, not missing the way the Hylian's eyes widen.

"Um…" is all Link can muster. He laughs awkwardly and looks about before his eyes settle on the exit. "I'll talk to you guys later!" the Hero of Time yells, running for the door and slamming it behind him.

"If you'll excuse me," Marth says, tone laced with fake cheeriness, and he calmly follows the other male.

Lucina looks at Dark Pit and sighs. "Did you have to do that?"

"Yep," Dark Pit says happily, wrapping an arm around the princess and pecking her cheek.

"What am I going to do with you."

"Bad things, I hope."

Lucina hides her face again. Gods, why was she in love with this snarky angel?

Fin.
