-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I walk back into Termina Field and I head to Clock Town to sell some masks. I like selling my masks but a certain one I've had to keep track of…suddenly I hear a faint scream and silence and I set my bag down and I dash toward the sound. I see a stalfos and a young boy in green…the kid that got me my mask back! I rush over, the Majora's mask suddenly appearing on my face and giving me power and I attack the stalfos and kill it. I take the mask off and I look at the boy…he is badly wounded and I growl in frustration when he passes out and I put the mask away and I bandage him up and I pick him up and run. I get to my bag and set him down a bit long enough to pick it up and then I dash to Clock Town, with the boy in my arms and I get to the Inn. Anju sees me and gasps when she sees the boy and rushes me to a room and then I unwrap the wounds and clean then so they won't get infected and then I put a salve on them that I handmade and I sigh when I put fresh bandages on him. I don't know why I felt the sudden urge to help him…I don't normally do this but he is the same kid that helped me get my mask and save this land so…I want to repay him by helping him. Anju comes in and says for me to get rest and that she will watch over him and I tell her no thank you and I grab my bag and I get up but I look at the boy. I search through my masks and I remember a certain one I saw the boy wear the most. I pull out the Bremen mask and I set it down with a note saying it's a gift. I get out of the door and I leave the inn but I look back at the inn one last time before leaving to go to a stall to set up my masks and sell some.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I wake up in the inn at Clock Town and I'm confused on how I got here. Did the Happy Mask Salesman save me? I saw him right before I passed out, so it's the most likely scenario... I see the Bremen Mask on a table and I go over and read the note. I smile, wondering how he figured that this was one of my favorite masks of his. The music always made me happy, so I wore it often.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I hand another kid a mask but I see something out of the corner of my eye and I see the boy. He spots me and I sigh, he comes over and I look at him "You should still be in bed" I say and he whines but I shake my head and I scoop him up and I carry him back to the inn "Anju can you make sure the boy doesn't leave his room until he is healed?" I say and she nods as I set him back in the bed and I sigh. I keep him still as I change the wrappings on him and put the salve back on him. Anju says she can do it but I ignore her and when I'm done I leave quickly to get back to my shop. I start selling more masks to kids and I sigh in relief when the one mask I own that is not for sale is still here.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I pout, but understand that he just wants me to get better quickly. It doesn't mean that I have to like it though...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
It starts getting late and I pack up my masks and I go inside the inn. Anju tells me that she will bring me food and I tell her to bring the boy some as well because I am going to stay in the same room since there are two beds and I want to make sure he heals then I will be on my way. She nods and I head to the boy's room. I notice he is asleep so I quietly set my bag by the empty bed and I shake the kid gently "Wake up… it's time to eat" I say and he slowly wakes as Anju comes in the room with food. I ask the boy if he needs help eating but he says no, even though I think he needs help because both arms were wounded, and I start eating while watching him to see if he will need help.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I start trying to eat and my hand starts shaking, causing me to scowl. I really don't want to have to rely on him for help, but I can't support my hand enough to eat. I hear a slight chuckle and I know that he knows that I need help.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I sigh and I set down my food and I go over to the boy's bed "Let me help" I say and he sighs and I feed him. I can tell he doesn't like being weak but he can't help it and when he has had enough I set it down and I change the wrappings and put the salve back on him and when I'm done I finish eating and then I lay on my bed and sigh in content as I rest. Traveling around is tough sometimes but I manage…I wonder how the boy manages…I hear movement and I hear a melody and I chuckle because I know the kid put the mask I gave him on.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I hear him chuckle at the melody but I don't care. It's one of the only ways that I was able to make it through my journey here in Termina. The music just fills me with determination and happiness.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I take off my shoes and I ask the kid if he needs anything before I fall asleep and he says no. I ask him again and he just growls but I chuckle and I slip under the covers of my bed, which is near his, and I slip to sleep.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I can hear his breathing even out and I smile slightly, shifting slightly to get more comfy. I close my eyes and go to sleep as well.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
It's been a few days later and the kid has been healing quite fast…but I fear I'm getting too attached to the boy. Luckily he is almost healed and another day and he should be healed. I watch the boy sleep and I just keep an eye on him. The Majora's Mask has started taunting me that I'm falling for the kid but seriously! He is what…12 maybe 13! I'm an adult! I sigh silently as the mask whispers more pestering in my ears and it's annoying.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I wake up and roll over, trying to go back to sleep. When sleep eludes me, I lay there quietly for a few minutes, not wanting to get up just yet.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I notice him awake but I'm too busy trying to get the mask to quit floating around my head and whispering shit at me because it's all stupid and its lies as well. I finally get the mask to get back in the bag and I sigh in annoyance. I didn't notice the kid watched but I was too fucking busy getting the mask to leave me alone.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I watch him wrestle with the mask, eventually getting it back in his bag. I'm confused at why he seemed annoyed at it...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I notice the boy looking at me and I sigh "You saw that didn't you…" I say and he nods and I look at him for a bit "The mask bugs me by whispering nonsense into my ears and it's annoying but it's more annoying when it whispers things that shouldn't happen at all like it keeps saying because I'm helping you I fell in love and I know it's a lie. I just helped you heal because I felt it was the right thing" I say and I sigh "Well…do you want to go out to Termina Field? I'll take you there if you want and plus I know you miss the outdoors hence the amount of times I catch you trying to leave through the window at night" I say and he looks at me shyly at that and I just chuckle.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I nod shyly, "That'd be really nice." I'd love to go out to the fields...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I smile and I pick the boy up, leaving my bag so the mask won't pester me, and I lock the door. I bring the kid downstairs and I carry him out to the field. I set him in the grass and I sit next to him and I lay in the grass. I don't normally get to just laze around so I'm doing it while I can. I watch the sky as birds fly around and I keep watch of the area.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I take a deep breath and smile at the fresh air. I've always loved being outside, probably since I grew up in a forest... It's a really nice day...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I watch the boy and I smile at him enjoying the outdoors. I look at the sky but I see something high in the sky. I look closely and I hear a screech and I try to warn link but it's too late when a massive bird drops out of nowhere and stabs a talon through his middle and he passes out. I kill the bird and I remove the talon before rushing him back to the inn and I have the mask give me magic to heal him quickly. I heal him enough so he won't die and I pant. Anju and Kafei come through the door and they both are worried but I say he will be fine…but I say to myself that I hope so…a boy like him doesn't deserve to die…
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I wake up, but keep my eyes closed. I groan at the pain that I'm still in, even though I feel better than I expected...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I snap out of my dozing off to him groaning and I quickly tend to him. The wound went completely through him and I know he was in danger but now he is at least out of being near deaths door…I give him a potion to help with the pain and he sighs in relief but whines when he can't move his body and I sigh "I had Anju make a special room where we could make it so you can't move because the wound you got went clean through your middle…we need you completely still so sorry but you will be in bed for a while…" I say and I feel bad but I yawn. I am really tired because it's the middle of the night and I still hadn't gone to sleep because I was worried the kid would struggle with the restraints…
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I half-smile at him, not really happy that I won't be able to move for a while. I see him yawn and tell him to go to bed. I'm tired anyway; I'll probably fall asleep quickly...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I yawn again and I ask him if he needs anything but he says no. I nod and I climb in bed and I instantly fall deep asleep. I'm worn out from fighting sleep and using a great deal of magic to keep him alive or to make sure he didn't die before he started healing.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I wait for him to fall asleep before I allow myself to do the same.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
It's been a few months now and the mask when we are alone keeps saying that I'm in love with him and I eventually sealed it away in a spell to get it to shut up but…now I think it might be right…no it's not he is a kid who knows nothing about the stuff he mentions and I'm an adult. I unwrap the wrappings and put a special salve on him again and then wrap him. He can have some movement now but not much. It's mostly his arms, legs and head but…I think he is brave. He is so young yet has more courage than anyone I know…I feed him some food that Anju brought and I relax as he rests but doesn't sleep.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I watch him curiously. He's treated me mainly like I'm my age, which makes me feel a bit silly. I mean, I traveled through time and was an adult at a point, so I'm not mentally as young as I am physically...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I notice him watch me with a curious look and I'm a bit confused but I notice him get lost in thought and I just chuckle. I see Anju come in with more food and water plus more healing supplies and I thank her. She has been giving us this for free, even though each time she comes in the room I offer to pay her, and she helps watch Link sometimes. I set the food down and I look at Link, who is looking at me again and I just look at him for a bit. I pull out a flute and I start playing a melody that reminds me of home.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I smile as I listen to the flute music. It's so pretty and calming...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I get lost in the melody but I start playing another until I realize it's something I shouldn't play and I instantly quit. I put the flute away but when I look at the kid I notice something…off but it fades instantly and I dismiss it. After a few hours I change the wrappings and salve then I feed him and I eat some food myself. After a bit I sigh and I sit in the chair near the table and I rest.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I smile as I notice that he's resting. He's been so busy taking care of me that he hasn't been taking care of himself as much... I'm kinda worried for him...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I notice him watching me and I look at his eyes…I snap out of whatever happened but I close my eyes, which are silver, and I take a nap. I never realized it but I fell asleep on the table.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I smile when I notice that he's asleep, but that has to be uncomfortable... I don't want to move, in case I ruin the healing that I've done, but I don't want him to sleep at a table...
-=-Anju's Pov-=-
I come in the room to check up on the pair and I see the sales man asleep and I sigh "He is known for falling asleep like that…" I say and Link nods. I still remember the boy from a couple years ago for helping me and Kafei to get back together and I wake the salesman gently and I help him to bed. He falls back asleep and I smile. I ask Link if he needs anything but he shakes his head no and I say if he needs me just yell and I will come to the room. He nods and I leave the room to let him rest.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I smile at how nice Anju is being to us and I close my eyes. I relax before dozing, not quite asleep.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I wake up and I see its morning but I'm still sleepy. I check Link and I notice he is already awake. I go over and change the wrappings and salve and then I call Anju. I ask her for food and water and she nods and leaves. After a bit she comes up and feeds Link for me while I eat.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I feel a little less annoyed at having Anju feed me. I don't quite know why it aggravated me so much to have the Happy Mask Salesman feed me. Speaking of, I should probably ask if he has a shorter name for me to call him by...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
When Anju is done she leaves and says she will bring fresh stuff for healing Link as she takes all the old stuff out. I sigh and the mask starts to taunt me again and I growl "Hey it's not like the kid isn't mature already. The kids body might be young but his mind isn't" The mask says and I look at it. That was the first time the mask mentioned anything about the kid much less something like that…I look at Link, slightly confused but with a look of disbelief because the mask might just be tricking me but…I look at him with a questioning look as the mask remains silent.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I notice that he's looking at me questioningly and I tilt my head. If he has a question, I'll answer it...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I sigh "I know you heard what the mask just said…and not to try and go into personal stuff but…what the mask said about you being mature mentally…is it true? You don't have to answer because it's kinda personal and I don't want to pry into places I don't belong." I say as I watch him. The mask giggles but I growl and it shuts up.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I tilt my head, wondering if I should tell him, but end up nodding. I don't really want to lie and this isn't that personal anyway...To me at least.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
When he nods more questions pop up but…I'm too nervous to ask for fear of getting to personal about them to I stay quiet. The mask starts saying I should ask and I just ignore it as I try to decide if I should ask the questions in my head.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I see him fighting with himself and I smile. "You can ask me whatever you want. The worst that'll happen is I just won't answer one." I try to sound reassuring, but it depends on what he asks...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I smile slightly and I sigh "Well…how are you mature mentally? You're what…12 maybe 13? I don't really see how you could be mature mentally unless your parents did something to you or some other event" I say and I wait for an answer.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I half-smile, already expecting the question. I've already decided to tell him about my adventure in Hyrule. At least the time travel part of it. I start explaining that, having fun getting to tell someone about it.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I'm quite surprised but it does explain why he is mature mentally. When he is done telling me his adventure I get an idea and he said I could ask any question… "Since your mind is…more mature have you fallen in love with anyone?" I say and I notice him blush a bit and I tell him he doesn't have to answer if he doesn't want to.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I used to have feelings for Zelda, but now... I've spent a lot of time around the Happy Mask Salesman and am starting to fall for him... I really need another name to call him, especially since I have feelings for him... My blush has darkened and I don't think I'm quite ready to tell him about my feelings, because he might not reciprocate them yet...
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I just ignore his reaction and I sigh "Oh…btw I don't normally tell others this but…I'll tell you my name, you can call me Vepara but most of the ones who know my name call me Para" I say and he smiles. I think of another question "How was life in Hyrule? Also…didn't you say you were looking for a friend a couple years ago when you first got dragged here? Did you ever find your friend?" I say but I have a keen look in my eyes because it's kinda a trick question...
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I notice the look in his eyes and I'm confused. "I never found the one I was specifically looking for..." I say, thinking about Navi... I answer his other question happily, describing how my life was in Hyrule, like all of my favorite places.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I chuckle when he is done and he looks at me confused and I go to my bag and I dig through it. I remember catching a fairy that was different than normal ones and I find the bottle. I smile when it starts shrieking at me to let it out and I just sigh. I look behind me and I see the shocked face on Link's face and I open the bottle and the fairy starts hitting my head and I sigh "Alright Alright! I get it! You're mad for me keeping you in a fricking bottle I get it! Go back to your fairy boy instead of hitting me will ya!" I say and the fairy suddenly freezes and then look around the room and spots Link "LINK!" it shrieks and it zooms over to Link and they both are happy. She notices the wound, even though it's almost healed and she starts yelling at me because of it and I just sigh.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I roll my eyes before saying, "Navi, quit bothering him. He's the one who saved me and has been taking care of me." She looks abashed and mutters a quick sorry to him before flying over and sitting on my head. I giggle, having missed her quite a bit in these past years.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I decide it's time to change his wrappings and I do but the fairy keeps fluttering around his wounds and I growl. I grab the kid's hat and snatch her in it and I make it so she can't get out and I finish tending to his wounds and then I let her out and she huffs at me annoyed but I just ignore her. I hear sounds and I see Anju come in…followed by a pair of fairies and I sigh "Well here are your friends Tatl and Tael" I say to Link and the other fairies zip over and ask him if he is alright. They heard that he had gotten wounded twice and that he almost died the second time but he giggles and says he is fine. The Majora's Mask comes by my shoulder but Tatl freaks and shrieks then hides on the side of Link's head, which causes him to laugh and confuse all of the fairies. During this I thank Anju for bringing food and she sets down a small plate of food for the fairies and I smile.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I smile as well when the fairies go over to eat the food Anju brought for them. It really is nice to be with them all again.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
I watch the fairy's talk and I feed Link as they eat. When I'm done I start eating myself and after I'm done I rest on the bed but I watch Link and then I lay on the bed, the mask staying silent for once. I see the fairies glancing at the mask and whispering about it and I sigh because of it.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I roll my eyes at the way that the fairies are acting, but I'm too happy to really worry about it. I haven't seen them in quite a long time and it's really nice to spend time with them again.
-=-Vepara's Pov-=-
It's been a few more weeks and Link is finally able to take care of himself and he is fully healed. I watch him late at night and I know he is asleep. His fairy, Navi, is also asleep and I sigh. I write a long note and then I grab my bag and quietly leave. I leave the inn and then the town. I look behind me one last time to the town and I sigh 'I'm going to miss him…but I feel like we will meet again' I think and I walk into the woods and then vanish from Termina.
The note says "Dear Link, Now that you are healed i must leave. I had noticed that over time you liked me being near but sadly i must leave. I feel that we will meet again so don't fear but for now we must part...i must admit...i will miss you so don't think you're the only one...and the mask is going to pester me to no end for leaving while your asleep but i will miss you none the less so goodbye for now and i wish you good luck and keep yourself safe -Vepara the traveling salesman.
-=-Link's Pov-=-
I wake up the next morning and Vepara isn't in the room. I frown and see a note on the table and pick it up and read it. My frown deepens at the contents and Navi wakes up, flying over to me. She notices that I'm upset and reads the letter over my shoulder, as a few tears run down my face. When she's done reading, she begins to comfort me, knowing that I've grown attached to him.
