An Angelic Obsession

Chapter 3


Ike walked back to his room, thinking about the new change. It would be easier to train the boy and get to know him, having him closer. Pit seemed to be a decent youth, with no problems or attitude. Ike knew the brunette was different, but in a good way. Once inside his room, the mercenary helped Kirby finish packing and sent him to Yoshi's room.

"Hi!!" the cream puff said and walked away.

Ike always found the blob a little disturbing and annoying. Pit would be a breath of fresh air to him. The bluenette continued to make the messy room presentable for the young boy.

Pit slowly opened the door to his and Ike’s room.  

“Ah, there you are” said Ike as he emerged from the bathroom.  Everything is clean and de-Kirbyized.”  

Pit laughed at the term and walked across to his bed and plopped his bag down.  
“Thank you again Ike, I promise I won’t be a loud or obnoxious roommate.” Pit said as he put his clothing into his dresser.

Ike chuckled. “How could you be loud or obnoxious?”

Pit laughed a cheery laugh which made Ike smile even bigger.  “Ok, all my stuff is away.  This is so great!” he said sitting on his bed.  “And I even have a window!”  He sat on his bed with his back to Ike looking out upon the grounds.  

Ike continued to stare at the youth until his stomach reminded him it was time for lunch.

"I'm hungry," the mercenary said blatantly.

"Me too!" Pit replied cheerfully. The pair ate lunch at the cafeteria, Pit more than happy to take over the conversation. Ike grew fond of having such a friend as Pit, who always had a smile and good vibe about him, even though the older male preferred to be a loner.

The rest of the day was taken up by the two watching some training and an afternoon brawl between Luigi and Fox.  Ike was feeling more and more at ease with the youth.  It was almost like his energy and enthusiasm were contagious.  They sat together at dinner, the conversation again dominated by Pit.  After dinner they found themselves walking down the corridors toward their room talking about some upcoming training.

"So, are you prepared for some hard-core training?" Ike asked the angel.

“Yeah!  I can’t wait!” Pit replied as he sat on the bed.  “I really enjoyed this morning’s training!  He looked at Ike standing by the door.  Getting up he walked to the tall bluenette.  Looking up into Ike’s eyes he smiled and slowly hugged the startled warrior. “Thank you Ike, thank you for everything.”

"I-um-your welcome," the bluenette said, patting the boy on the back. "I promised to show you what I know. I only ask that you try your best, and stick with it."

“Thanks Ike!”  Pit said.  He then walked back over to his bed.  When do you go to bed?”

"Late. Later than you should be up," Ike answered, stripping down to his pants. "What do you do all by yourself," the angel asked, looking intently at his roommate. "Whatever I want really. Watch TV, play video games, or try to invent new moves. They never turn out right. But that's beside the point. It's probably best if we get some sleep, you have early morning training." With that said, Ike crawled into his own bed.

Pit had watched Ike disrobe and get into bed.  He sat down and removed his sandals and pulled his tunic off.  Folding it and placing in on his dresser he walked over to the light switch.  “Are you ready for lights-out?”

“Sure, I want to get a good night’s rest before tomorrow’s training.” Ike answered.
Pit turned off the lights and walked back over to his bed.  He sat down and slowly removed his shorts, leaving them on the floor.  Pulling back the covers, he laid on his side facing the room. “Good night Ike.”

"Goodnight Pit. If you need anything, just wake me up," the mercenary replied, adjusting the pillow to his liking.

Pit rolled onto his back and then onto his side again.  Sighing he sat up and moved so he could look out the window.  “I love the view from up here.” he said as he looked over the moonlit grounds.

"It's pretty, especially at moonlight. I find myself looking out many nights myself. May I join you?" Ike asked the boy.

“Of course you can Ike” Pit replied cheerily.  

As Ike walked toward Pit’s bed he stopped in his tracks, mesmerized how the moonlight was bathing the naked youth and filtering through his wings.  It looked as though they were glowing.

Pit looks amazing...like a true celestial. Ike's words caught himself off guard, but it didn't change how he saw the boy. The angel looked like a statue made of pure radiance. The bluenette made his way over to Pit's bed, taking a place next to the youth. "It's truly amazing out there tonight, the way the moon can warp the world's children into a different light. It makes everything seem perfect, without flaw."

“You should see the moon from Sky World” Pit whispered.  He leaned sideways into Ike and sighed.  Ike tentatively put his arm around the youth and continued to look out the window.  After a while Pit yawned and leaned a little harder into Ike.  Looking down, Ike saw that he was asleep.  Smiling, he slowly laid the slumbering angel down on his side and pulled the covers up to his neck, taking care not to disturb those beautiful wings.  Standing up he took one more look at Pit before he walked to his bed and lay back down.

“Goodnight Pit” he whispered before falling asleep.
