A happy ending.
That's what Hyrule had gotten.
The four links -Green, Red, Blue and of course Vio- had been rewarded heavily upon their return to Castle Town; gifts, fans, anything and everything any of the three could want quickly bestowed upon them. They'd returned to the castle, each being given a large chamber all to themselves- though that didn't keep up long.
Red now bunked with Blue and likewise Green with Zelda.
Vio had his room all to himself, being told by the others that he needed to get out more -he'd shaken his head and picked up his favorite book- that he needed more friends -he'd scoffed and rolled his eyes- and, worst of all, that he needed a girlfriend.
That discussion had ended in enraged shouting, things being thrown and all-around hatred between the three brothers and the one. None of them knew.. The best time of Vio's life had been the time he'd spent in the Dark World with a certain shadow following his every movement with teasing critisizm. He longed to hear that airy, taunting voice again.. Of course they wouldn't know that.
They wouldn't know just how much had happened, just how much had been sacrificed, just how much had been torn from the violet Link's heart when that mirror shattered. Shadow himself had done what Vio, nor the others, could. He'd destroyed himself in the process.
People oft say that the life of a hero is full of sacrifice, broken hearts and the like, but this? Vio could hardly stand it. While Red, Blue and Green had the time of their lives, each having fallen in love and had their 'happily ever after's, here was Vio, the only one who really had to sacrifice.
Shadow, obviously, had given more than any of them, but it wasn't as though he was around to complain.
Hence the reasons for the discussion turning to an arguement turning to a full-out brawl between the brothers until Vio, angry tears falling down his cheeks and causing all the others to freeze, screamed, "he's dead because of you!" and bolted.
He ran out right out of the castle, shoving guards aside as he scrambled out onto the feilds, tripping in the dim moonlight. His heart was shattering all over again -thanks to Green's horrifying comments on Shadow he'd decided to add to the conversation- and his legs turned to jelly.
Collasping beneath one of the trees, Vio jerked into a tight ball and sobbed against his knees. This was utterly out of character for him, as was the whole thing right up to disagreeing, being as passive agressive as he is, and it only seemed to intensify the pain.
The calmest of the Links now lay in a heap, bawling and wishing nothign more than to go back in time. To run back to that horrid place and put the mirror together peice by peice. Some had fallen, no doubt, when the mirror shattered, but he didn't care if it took him an eternity. He didn't care if he put Hyrule into danger over the possible return of Vaati. He didn't care if he died trying to peice it together.. He just knew he couldn't stay here like this.
It was murder.
He scarce had the will to sit up, tears still flushing down his cheeks and body jerking with his hiccuping sobs as he looked around. Red had come out of the castle, looking around and calling worriedly for his friend, but Blue had persuaded him back inside with a sharp motion towards the feilds and a shake of his hammer.
Vio took a few shuddering breaths, coughing roughly as he pressed his back firm to the tree and struggled to his feet. There were a number of things being wrong with his plan, first and foremost being..
He had absolutely no clue where he was going.
Well, this is my first real Vio/Shadow fic :3 (I used to do them all the time, back when I first read the manga, but it's been a while xD) And I have all the usual side pairings for it~ Red/Blue and Green/Zelda~ I won't focus on either very much, if at all, but they're there! XD Anyways, I'll try to keep up with this one :3
