Part 1: Link had to be saved

Link breathed heavily. He didn't expect a blood moon to happen so quickly as just last night he had killed a Lynel. Being tired Link decided to set up a small camp to sleep for the night not even knowing that the blood moon was steadily raising in the sky that night. So the result of this unexpected event was Link waking up to a pain in his shoulder and opening his eyes to see the same Lynel from before just standing a few feet away from him. Dodging an arrow Link drew his sword and shield groaning in pain from the one in his shoulder and started fighting. However he soon found out that he would not be able to defeat the Lynel like he is now. Not wanting to accept defeat Link lunged at the Lynel to attack, but he was easily batted away his body roughly hitting a tree making him cry out in pain. His shoulder hurt worse now, and his whole body was in pain from the impact to the tree. Only now did he realize he was close to Zora's Domain feeling awful to know that Sidon might come and find his tattered broken body. Crying out again when he felt an arrow go into his stomach he got electrocuted shortly figuring out that it was a shock arrow. All the pain he was in was making Link quickly lose consciousness. Moments before Link passed out though he saw a blurry figure ramming into the Lynel and successfully knocking it over the waterfall. Link watched the blurry figure walk over to him before he finally passed out unable to feel the arrows being carefully removed. Link's weak body was lifted by the other and brought down the mountain to Zora's Domain.

Everything hurt, and it didn't help when Link opened his eyes the world around him being blurry. After a few moments Link carefully sat up the room spinning and his stomach lurching. Not meaning to Link ended up vomiting up what he had ate the previous night. Feeling embarrassed and wiping his mouth Link carefully stood up wanting to clean up the mess he made on whoever's floor the room belonged to. This thought was short lived though when his knees buckled under his body Link stumbling forward and accidentally clearing off a nightstand in an attempt to steady himself. Hearing the shattering of glass Link flinched and held his stomach groaning softly and looked at the new mess he made before sighing. Standing upright once more he made his way to a dresser and opened up a drawer finding some towels and grabbed one. After Link turned and carefully walked back towards the bed before collapsing to the floor again taking deep breaths. He didn't understand why his body was so weak since he would usually recover from a battle quite fast and soon guessed the shock arrow to the stomach more than likely took a toll on his nervous system. Shaking his head Link started cleaning up his vomit not wanting to leave it there his body jumping when he heard a door open and someone walking in. Feeling bad Link quickly finished cleaning the vomit setting the towel in the dirty clothes basket nearby and started picking up the not broken things from the nightstand setting them back up there while speaking hastily.

"I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to knock everything over. I'm also really sorry for accidentally breaking your lamp. It must've been expensive, but I can pay you back I have enough rupees how much was it?" He asks quickly scrambling for his wallet once everything was picked up knowing he should get a broom to clean up the broken lamp. He opened his wallet shuffling different rupees around looking for a few silver ones before he felt a hand on his shoulder which made him jump and actually look up at the Zora that had come into the room. His eyes opened a bit more than they were before seeing a familiar friendly cream colored face that was surrounded by a bright, beautiful shade of red. The prince of the Zora's crouched behind Link reaching around and closed the Hylian's wallet taking it from his small hands and placed it on the bed. Afterwards Sidon sat on the floor properly and pulled Link's small frame into his lap holding him close, but also gently knowing the hero was probably sore.

"There is no need to pay for the lamp Link. I'm just glad I found you when I did because I'm not sure what would've happened if I came even a few minutes later than I did," Sidon says softly watching Link nod weakly. Sidon hummed lightly feeling the smaller male lean back on him and smiled kindly.

"The doctor said you're very lucky. If the shock arrow had gone just a few more inches to the right you could've been paralyzed or at the very least confined to a bed for a few weeks," he says smiling big. Link sighs a bit hearing Sidon and placed a hand on his own stomach before moving it to Sidon's leg. A small smile came to Link's face being glad Sidon had saved him since he knew he probably wouldn't have lasted much longer against the Lynel on his own.

"Though it made me curious Link. Why did you choose to sleep on top of the mountain when you should've known it would be dangerous if a blood moon occurred? You know you could've come down here for the night right?" Sidon asks being confused when Link looked at the floor almost shamefully which made Sidon chuckle.

"I'm guessing you didn't expect a blood moon and were too tired to make your way down to the domain?" He asks with a knowing smile chuckling again when Link nodded being embarrassed. Sidon held Link close to his body speaking happily.

"There's no need to be embarrassed Link everyone has those moments. You're just lucky I showed up in time to save you!" Sidon said proudly making Link smile and nod a bit.

"Yeah I am lucky you saved me thank you Sidon," Link says softly being squeezed in a hug from the other.

"It's not a problem anything to help a friend Link!" Sidon says and lightly let Link go helping him to his feet. Link stood shakily and held onto Sidon who stood up with him helping him stay steady. Link was glad to have Sidon by his side. The prince helped him back onto the bed sitting on the edge quietly now. Looking around the room Link finally realized his champion's tunic was neatly folded and laying on the dresser the holes made from the arrows having been skillfully sewn up. A smile came to his face before quietly looking at his shoulder and stomach looking at the carefully wrapped bandages and relaxed knowing Sidon was more than likely the one to have bandaged him. The proud look on Sidon's face also told him that the prince was the one to bandage him which made Link chuckle softly. That's what made Link admire Sidon so much, when the prince succeeded in doing something difficult or challenging he would always look so happy and proud. He found it to be quite adorable making Sidon seem so gentle and docile despite being so big and scary at first. Humming quietly Link reached out and placed his hand on Sidon's cheek lightly rubbing it. However he was a bit surprised when he heard a soft quiet purr come from the other and gently pet the red crest atop Sidon's head. Link couldn't help but laugh a bit when the Zora purred more and actually nuzzled against his hand without a care in the world. After a while of petting Sidon pulled away from Link's hand his creamy colored face slowly turning red with embarrassment.

"I, uh, pretend I didn't do that, okay?" Sidon asks looking at Link pleadingly which he couldn't bring himself to do anything other than nod a bit. He smiles seeing the others face light up with joy laughing softly when he was hugged again. Sidon was happy that the Hylian was so understanding and slowly let him go once he was done hugging him. Sidon chuckles at Link's confused expression when he laid him down gently patting the blonde hair of the hero.

"You should get some more rest Link. I'll get you a cup of water so be carefully not to knock it over if you attempt to get up again," Sidon says chuckling which made Link pout and look away knowing the other was teasing him. Sidon smiles and left the room with a soft hum leaving Link to relax. Sighing Link looked up at the ceiling of the room not even realizing he had drifted back to sleep after a few minutes.
