today officially marked your first day in the smash mansion, and you couldn't have been more excited. receiving the invite was surely a surprise, and very unexpected on your part. everyone you knew had encouraged you and told you that "they knew you'd make it", and even though you believed that you might've had a chance, it still seemed very unlikely.
but all the doubt faded from your mind when a tiny envelope with a red seal arrived at your doorstep. your eyes lit up at soon as you set your eyes on the two lines engraved into the seal, instantly realizing what it was. after hearing the news, your parents, friends, and other townsfolk from where you lived threw you a huge party to celebrate your success. it was bittersweet, because you know that being accepted into smash meant that you'd have to leave your home behind. you even began to have second thoughts, but everyone and their grandmothers told you to knock it off and accept this opportunity of a lifetime.
and so, you did. you knew it's what all of them wanted, and it's what you wanted too. so with that, you stepped foot into the mansion and began your new life.
and it just so happened your first day was february fourteenth, valentine's day.
the main living area of the mansion was decorated in all shades of pink, with cute love-themed decorations hanging all around. you knew that today was that dreaded, sweet holiday, but to be honest you didn't think much of it. it shouldn't have affected how your first day went too much.
"look, everyone! the new fighter has arrived!" a small voice called out. the voice was dainty and cute, so you could assume it was the voice of either princess peach or zelda. you would've been able to definitively know who it was if the manor of the large mansion wasn't filled to the brim with smashers.
this place was packed! honestly, it was so overwhelming that you seriously thought you might pass out. everywhere you looked, you saw the figure of a fighter who you had idolized since the dawn of smash time! mario, donkey kong, marth, roy, ness, pikachu, captain falcon; the list could go on forever.
and it seemed that as if in an instant, everyone gaze was locked onto you. you took a deep breath in and tried to force down and nerves that dared to come up. with as much confidence you could muster up, you introduced yourself.
"hey everyone, i'm (y/n) from (game). i'm not gonna lie, being here feels like a dream and it's...sort of overwhelming. but i'm really excited to meet you all!"
the room was dead silent and that was enough for the nerves you'd been suppressing to jump back out. but before your body could begin shaking or sweating, an extremely familiar voice broke the silence.
"its-a nice to meet a-you (y/n)!" the red cap wearing italian plumber approached you and extended his hand out, inviting you to shake it. he was much shorter in real life than he seemed in his games, and that alone made you let out a small giggle.
the silence that had once plagued the living area was completely eradicated and the previously quiet fighters had all begun to greet you. after getting quickly aquatinted with all 70 characters, princess zelda took your hand and guided you to the middle of their valentine's day celebration.
"i just think it is so amazing that today, of all days, is when you arrived! i mean, how perfect is that? our annual valentine's day party is only the best in all of smashville!" the tiny princess exclaimed with the upmost excitement. "and you got here just in time! all of the spirit and assist trophy characters should arrive any minute, then the real festivities begin!"
you softly chuckled at zelda's enthusiasm. "it sounds like a blast, zelda. i'm actually pretty lucky to be here, a party is a really good way to get to know everyone."
"it sure is! i'm absolutely sure you'll love everyone. even the villain characters are quite nice people to be around—when they want to be of course! but who could resist being nice on valentine's day?" she smirked. "and who knows, maybe you'll find your special someone today."
"what?! i-i mean...i just got here, i don't think that i'm i-interested in anyone yet or vice versa. i hardly know anyone y-yet!" her comment took you aback, and you became a stumbling mess.
"i know, i know! but valentine's day can be quite...magical." zelda's smirk became more devious as she lifted up a single finger and twirled it, creating a swirl of majestic sparks.
your eyes widened at the magic and you were so focused on it that you didn't notice the person standing in front of you. in fact, you were so distracted that you walked right into them.
you cursed under your breath, shaken by the collision. "i'm so sorry! ah, i'm such a klutz." after a few seconds, once you were fully coherent again, it came to your attention who was actually standing in front of you. it was none other than the angel-boy, pit, from kid icarus.
he looked flustered for some odd reason that you couldn't deduce. "it's cool, totally. i-uh should've been paying more attention." he chuckled awkwardly.
you could hear zeldas giggles from behind you as you tried to convince pit that the collision was no fault of his own. while you two babbled on, it came to your attention that the winged boy was holding a single pale rose in his hand. you stopped rambling and set your gaze onto the small flower. roses had always been your favorite, and they always had this same captivating affect on you whenever you'd see them.
pit noticed your stare and stopped babbling as well. the way you looked at the flower was adorable, a fact he couldn't help but notice. truth be told, he had planned on giving it to you but was lacking the confidence to do so. if it weren't for zelda, he probably wouldn't have even approached you.
it had been a solid 10 seconds of silence and you staring at the rose, and you let out an awkward laugh when you realized what you had been doing. "sorry, i just- uh...i really like flowers. roses, especially. they're just the most delicate things in the world, and i think the message they send is just beautiful. y'know, love and all that mushy stuff-"
"you can have it!" pit said, cutting you off. his blush deepened, and you stood there in shock for about the fifth time today.
"me? i mean i wouldn't want to take it from you! i'm sure it was for someone o-or from someone; i don't wanna impose..."
"no!...i want you to have it, really. consider it a welcoming gift." he gave you possibly the cutest smile you'd ever seen, his pearly white teeth showing and all. your heart skipped a beat much to your surprise. remember what you told zelda, you thought. it's my first day here, i can't go catching feelings for every cute angel boy who flashes a smile my way. but...
he extended the rose out to you, the smile never fading for one second. you took it, a bright red flush quickly spreading across your cheeks. you muttered a small thank you, to which he responded by saying your welcome.
falling in love was inevitable here at smash mansion, with so many amazing people living in such close quarters. little did you know the first sparks of the l word would appear so soon. truth be told, it did feel like magic. plus, pit was always one fighter you fantasized about meeting. these budding feelings for him were perfectly represented by the rose you now held in your hand—fresh, new and full of potential.
and you definitely weren't complaining about any of it.
