A/N: I have forgotten to say this earlier: The picture I have in use is from dA by an artist lychi and the picture's name is just simply Zelda. I'm sorry that I forgot to inform this important piece of information. T.T

Also, another note: I do NOT own the characters or places unless said otherwise. Nintendo has the rights. =P Honestly speaking, all I have is the idea for the story, few monsters, creatures and bit of changing the places. Oh, and couple of OCs here and there. ^^; I'm certain everyone can figure out which belongs to me and which doesn't. =)

-.-.-.-.-.-

Important: This is not part of CaH saga. It will have different situations in the line of Link x Dark Link. Both good and bad. Most are quiet certainly not going to be connected into other stories in any of way.

Rating: M to be safe. I'm always bit wary when rating so I probably put higher rating than needed. Anyways, at least it gives chance for bit harder chapters too. ;)

Summary: Dark finds out what Link has been keeping hidden from him.

-.-.-.-.-.-

Enjoy the chapter! ^.^

DARK LOVE

CHAPTER 1

Link came home tired and exhausted. The day had been as harsh as the ones before. And this had been going on for the past two years. He had hoped for a difference by now but nothing. Dark's salary wasn't enough for them to live on but at least he was having a work he loved. Link on the other had was still working in a place he hated. At a bar.

Link sighed heavily as he finished the dinner. In all reality he would've rather curled up in a bed and slept than worked with the food. He held the yawn in while setting the table. He bit dreaded about what would be up for coming.

Dark came home few minutes after Link had gotten the table set and the food brought it. The darker Hylian smiled happily as he came in. He kissed his loved one to lips before already hugging him. "You're amazing, Link." Dark whispered before kissing him again. Link blushed a bit but answered into the kiss on both times.

The dinner went the same as always. Slight talking, mainly about Dark's work instead of Link's, then again Link did try to avoid that topic, while enjoying the food. Sometimes they even went into the little game of feeding the other one. Yet, during the dinner they exchanged kisses now and then with Dark being the one who took more specific places to kiss into like Link's ear or neck.

Link had always known that out of the two of them he was the submissive one and who always gave in. Usually he didn't mind about that. In fact, he enjoyed it when Dark had the control of things. And it was pretty much always Dark who started it.

After the dinner things heated up a bit. Dark knew exactly how and where to kiss. And Link quite well gave out mix of a purr and whine when the darker Hylian was kissing and scratching at his ear. That was all it needed before things were already heading deeper.

Link barely even realized when he had ended up into the bed with Dark above him. Things were just going bit too fast for his tired mind to follow. Yet, when the darker Hylian was looking uncertain and ready to back off, Link took the initiation and kissed Dark while scratching his ear. From there he continued into kissing the other ear while still scratching the earlier ear. Very soon that drove Dark over the edge and continued forward.

Link knew he would be lying if he said he didn't like what followed. There just were some things that took something out of the pleasure with the first thing being that he honestly was tired and would've needed the rest instead of love making. The second thing was that he loved Dark so much that it hurt to see him disappointed and hurt if he would've declined from the daily love making. He had few times told he honestly was tired and the hurt and disappointed look had quite a much killed his heart. He couldn't stand it so eventually he just accepted love making as a daily situation. The third part was it was all there was for them anymore. Breakfast, work, dinner and love making. That was all their days consisted of. Link still remembered how there had been so much more in the days. Eating out, going for a date, exploring, adventuring, talking, snuggling... There had been so much more in those days than in these days. And he honestly missed that. As the fourth part was the very fact that Link usually ended driving Dark over the edge which left him with bleeding bite marks and scratches. Those hurt. And Dark had usually been so gentle and caring. Fifth thing was that Link usually cried himself to sleep while Dark pretty much fell asleep after having snuggled close to him after the love making. Sixth and last was the fact that Link made sure to hide the damage and bloodied bed sheets. He just couldn't let Dark know what was going on. He couldn't stand the hurt in Dark's eyes if he knew nor the disappointment. Link just simply loved Dark too much to cause him harm.

That love had also been the reason it had taken nearly a year before they finally had gone for it. For six months Dark had been very slowly and carefully leading and teaching Link about lovemaking. Link had honestly felt both embarrassed and ashamed of his lack of knowledge but Dark had reassured him over and over again about things being alright. That he didn't mind about teaching and waiting.

Link hated the fact that he often held some information within him since he was too ashamed to tell that he didn't know about something he should. Those seven years he had slept through had left a gap within him. A gap he hated to admit and which he always feared to end up hurting Dark with. So, he rather went with things and just kept apologizing once he did something wrong. Like the first time Dark had kissed him and snuck his tongue inside of Link's mouth. Link had freaked out, having not understood a thing of it, and nearly instantly started to apologize about his reaction. Dark had been bit startled but very soon he hugged Link and told that everything was alright. It had taken several months before Link had accepted it as a part of things and actually learned to enjoy of it.

Link knew he was naïve and romantic about love while Dark could be romantic when he wanted to but he sure as hell wasn't naïve. The darker Hylian knew exactly what he was doing and how. Link lacked in that knowledge so thoroughly.

As the next day come forth, Link made sure that Dark was out of the house first. He couldn't afford the dark Hylian to know how things had gone during the night. Link woke up first, changed clothes very quickly before working with the breakfast. After that he waited for Dark to leave the house before he started to clean and change the bed sheets. Once he was done and knew there was nothing that could tell things out, he left to work.

Link couldn't hate his job more even if he tried to. The bar's main customers were men, obviously, but that wasn't what bothered him. It was the way they acted. Sure, he could understand the alcohol having its effect but he couldn't understand that the actions were allowed. He could just try and ignore the words and whistles but he couldn't ignore the touches. It was rare cases when someone would get him cornered and force him to bark and maybe even land few hits to get away. Usually that only ended into reprimanding by his boss, yet he wasn't kicked out. The only thing that helped him through the work was Dark. He could think about him and admire him in his mind as well as reminisce about the better days.

Unknown to Link, Dark had put in notion that everything wasn't alright with Link. He had been meaning to address about the situation but his actions of affection had been taken further by Link. The dark Hylian knew he should've backed off but for some reason Link just kept going with it. He didn't know why but he felt like being the fault. There was something he didn't understand and of which Link didn't talk about. For that reason Dark had bought a video camera. He hadn't told about it to Link as he had hidden it into their bedroom. So far he hadn't dared to check it even if he had had a chance but now he needed to know the truth.

The video camera was whole time in the back of Dark's mind. He felt awful about videoing them without Link's knowledge. In all reality he just wanted to go and take it off and erase all there was. Yet, he felt like it would hold the answers he searched for. Still, it wasn't the first one he went for as he came home hours before his normal time.

Dark remembered when he and Link had taken turns in cooking. For a year and half, nearly two, they had been keeping it up. On one day it was Dark's turn, at the next was Link's and then back to Dark before going for Link and so on and so on. It was fully functioning arrangement and both had actually enjoyed it. Link's cooking was always something on the line of what he could use straight from nature while Dark used other things too like flour, chocolate and stuff you had to buy instead of grow on your own.

Dark sighed heavily as he realized that for the past six months, maybe even longer, possibly for a year already, he hadn't done any of cooking. Now he was fully adamant about changing that. If Link had been cooking for a year, he'd take the next one. After that, hopefully, they could go back into taking turns.

Still, before cooking or checking the video camera, there was something else he needed to do. And Dark hated to even think about it as he went into Link's room. Journal was something very personal and the dark Hylian fully dreaded to even touch the book which he knew Link to write into now and then. Yet, he hoped to get the answers from there since Link didn't talk. Dark gulped once while with very shaky hands he opened the last written entry. He just didn't dare to check anything else.

"May fifteenth

I hate my job. I hate it so much that one couldn't even believe it to be possible. I just wish I could"

Dark frowned as the entry seemed to end way too abruptly. Suddenly he sighed heavily and slumped. He remembered having come to Link's room, wrapping his arms around him from behind and kissing his neck before inquiring what he was writing. Link had pretty much slammed the Journal shut before standing up and leaning on Dark. From there they had went into the bedroom and... Dark sighed as he realized that was where the rest of the evening and night had been spend at before heading to work. Link hadn't been able to finish his Journal entry at that night.

Dark gulped before he went into the bedroom. He had never been so scared and worried in his life as he took a chair and carefully got the video camera down. The dark Hylian took once a deep breath, stopped the recording and took up on the latest video the camera had. Luck had it that it recorded each day into their own videos. It got its electricity from the cord which was connected into the device that gave the magic of electricity into the house. The video camera itself had surprisingly huge memory so it could record video worth of a month. After that it recorded the new one by deleting the oldest one.

Dark gulped again before pressing the play-button. He sighed a bit disappointed as his and Link's talking was too far for the video camera to record it... Until they came close or into the bedroom. The dark Hylian blushed extremely bright red as that nights activity was shown. Yet, he frowned at one thing. It was Link who took the starting of things. This time Dark himself had been bit unwilling but after a short moment of coaxing and kissing, he took the lead and control of the situation. Already at that day there was something wrong going on but he couldn't figure it out.

Slowly, as he moved quickly through the empty room parts, he started to realize the situation. Things were changing and definitely NOT into right way. That which started off as lovemaking turned into something wrong. It wasn't rape since Link was willing but it certainly was NOT lovemaking. It was very clear that Link wasn't exactly happy of the situation but he didn't fight back. In fact, he even encouraged Dark forward. And night after night he ended up hurting Link. First it was scratches. When the dark Hylian had noticed the scratch marks for the first time, he had freaked out. Link kept telling it had been just accident and nothing more. That it didn't matter. Yet, the further things went, Dark's gentle nibbles turned into bites which drew out blood. Link didn't fight back but it was certain he didn't like it either. And not even once did he say a word about it. He only hid it and kept it out of Dark's knowledge.

"What the hell I've done, Link...?" Dark whispered as he slowly lowered the camera and stared horrified ahead of him. The images were flashing through his mind as he just barely understood them. He had hurt Link. He had hurt the only one he swore never to harm in his life. The one who had his heart and life.

Dark fell to his knees while not realizing at all of starting to cry. He couldn't comprehend what he had just seen, what he had done night after night again. The dark Hylian hid his face into his hands as he slumped forward and cried. "I'll make things right, Link. I swear." He whispered quietly while he shakily stood up. Dark sniffed and dried his tears before climbing back to the chair and hiding the video camera again. Yet, this time it wasn't on.

Dark went into the kitchen and leaned against the counter as he tried to come up with a plan. He needed to make things right. He owed that to Link. The dark Hylian took once a deep breath but suddenly he got an idea. With a wide grin he started to work it out.

Couple of hours later Link came home. "Dark, you home?" He called while fully not waiting for an answer. "Why do I keep calling for him? He's never home before me. Daaamn, I just wanna go to bed! Why can't I just ignore the freaking dinner for once?!" He thought while feeling dead-tired and nearly whining in his mind. The day had been even worse than before. Those son of a bitches had been touching him. There was only one person who had rights to touch him and that was Dark!

"Link! Welcome home! I'm in kitchen!" Came a sudden reply which fully startled Link. He had NOT waited to hear Dark's call. With a fully confused and surprised look on his face, he went into the kitchen to find Dark working with food.

"Dark?" Link called thoroughly confused. "W-what are you doing?" He continued even though that sounded like the most idiotic question since he could easily see him handling the dinner.

"Hey!" Dark replied straight off with fully chipper voice and a wide smile. "Cooking, obviously." He continued before putting the spatula down and coming over to Link. Link was still fully confused and he was bit startled about the sudden gentle kiss which got him to close his eyes and enjoy of it. "You look bit tired. You wanna take a nap before dinner?" Dark inquired bit worriedly after the kiss.

Link blinked few times in surprise. "I..." He started before shrugging and smiling a bit. "Nah. I'm just wondering what you do back here early." Link continued before nearly facepalming. "I-I mean it's cool and nice but, um..." He tried but couldn't find the right words.

Dark chuckled a bit and kissed Link again. "Thought I could surprise you for once." He started with a smile. "Besides, you've been doing the meals for the past year or so. It's about time I pick up on my side too." The dark Hylian continued. "Which reminds me... Gotta go back to cooking. Don't want to ruin our dinner." He told and winked with a grin while already going back to continue his cooking.

Link followed him and slumped down to the table. He kept his gaze fully fixed in the darker Hylian with a slight smile. Dark glanced at him now and then while feeling bit worried. "Link, honestly, if you want, you can go to sleep for a while." He told as calmly as he could.

Link shrugged but didn't move from his place nor did he turn his gaze off. "I'm surprisingly awake right now." He started before bit grinning. "And I'm enjoying the current view which I doubt to have if I went to bed."

Dark blushed very slightly at the hidden compliment in the words. He worked with the food for a while longer before he sighed and leaned against the counter. Link frowned in confusion but before he had a chance to get up and go over to the one he loved more than anything in his life, the dark Hylian already turned around with a sorrowful smile. "Link... There's something I have to tell you." He started bit uncertainly before taking once a deep breath. "And it's best if I actually showed it." Dark half whispered before nodding towards the bedroom.

Link frowned even more but got up and followed the dark Hylian out of the kitchen and into their bedroom. He watched with growing confusion as Dark dragged a chair close to the window and climbed up to it. As the dark Hylian took the hidden video camera into sight, Link gasped in shock. He didn't know what to say or think. For a moment he thought about it being a present or such but he had a bad feeling of the situation.

"Link, I... I-I'm sorry..." Dark started very hesitantly while bringing the video camera over. "I... I've felt that things haven't been alright between us." He told sorrowfully and gave the small device to Link. The dark Hylian gulped once while continuing: "I have been recording our life for quite some time." Suddenly he blushed and turned his gaze off. "I was meaning to get our conversations into it too but, um... It kinda failed to do that. Instead, well, it has, uh... Bedroom stuff." He confessed before blushing brightly.

Link stared at the video camera with fully disbelieving look on his face with a mix of disgust. "Y-you've been...?" He started without getting the words out before already sighing heavily and slumping. "How many knows?" Link inquired while offering the video camera back to Dark but keeping his gaze off and in the floor.

Dark was thoroughly startled. "No-one! I swear!" He shouted straight off while taking the device. "All of it is in this little thing. The oldest ones have been recorded over once it got full." The dark Hylian explained with calmer voice. "I would never do something like that to us, to you. You know that, right?" He stated but looked bit worried.

Link sighed heavily and nodded but he didn't raise his gaze up. "And have you checked what it has recorded?" He asked bit defeated. Dark sighed and slumped while nodding.

"I have." The darker Hylian whispered.

Link nodded but he still kept his gaze off. "So, you know how things have been going, right?"

Dark sighed heavily and nodded again. "Yeah. And I'm extremely sorry, Link. I never meant to hurt you like that." He answered before taking those couple of steps closer to Link and hugged him. "I'm sorry I've been so blind. I'm sorry I haven't realized what was going on. I'm sorry, Link. I'm so sorry." The dark Hylian whispered while starting to cry. "I'll make everything right. I swear. For the next year, starting from today, I will handle the meals. And I'll talk myself higher salary. And you'll quit your work. We'll get you into the job you enjoy of." He swore with full meaning to keep his promises.

Link closed his eye and leaned against Dark. He felt surprisingly calm at the moment. The dark Hylian had just given explanation into the question of why he was home so early. Link had bit feared for the worst but that worry had just been blown away. He smiled and reached up to bit scratch Dark behind the ear. "I love you, kitty." Link whispered while smiling at the purring the dark Hylian gave out at the touch before already kissing him gently. Dark answered into the kiss very swiftly.

"I love you too, angel." The dark Hylian replied with an admiring smile. After that he kissed Link to nose before putting the video camera to the chair. "I'll fully empty that soon but now..." He started before already ushering his love out of the room and back towards the kitchen. "...we'll have dinner. I hope you'll enjoy." Dark finished as they reached their destination and he got Link to sit down.

The dark Hylian brought the food over and took the cloth off of the plate to reveal stack of pancakes. Link was startled of the treat but his expression brightened straight off. After the main food was brought into the table, Dark fetched the fruits and berries to go with as well as the hot chocolates mixed with strawberry.

After dinner and washing up, Dark snuggled up with Link in the bed. He gave few gentle kisses but didn't even try to take it anywhere deeper from there. It didn't take too long before Link had already fallen asleep. The darker Hylian smiled, tightened his hold a bit and closed his eyes.
