A/n: Yo!

I promise, it will get better after this chapter. I do realize that this chapter wasn't quite that good, but I can't think of any ideas to re-type this without changing the entire story.. *sweatdrop*

Just so you know, this fan fic was originally called "Running On Empty" but, I decided to change the name to "Stand By Me" because I thought it was a more fitting name and because "Stand By Me" by Baseball Bear is a wonderful song. Listen to it when you get the chance! This is in the present, not like in the game where they don't have any technology. Hah. This pairing has to be my main favorite pairing of all time. Dark Link & Link! Unfortunately, I either deleted, or lost the original document of this chapter -_-;; So here I am re-typing it. Oh well, I was planning on fixing a lot of stuff in this chapter anyways. XD This fan fiction is in Dark's PoV (Point of View for those who don't know) On to the story!

This story is: Humurous-ish. Romance. Shounen-ai! (BoyxBoy) AU. OoC. OC. Hurt/Comfort. May be future lime.

Kuso: Shit (exclamation, not noun); Damn it

Itai: Ouch; That hurt

Stand By Me

Chapter 1: Farewell Hell Town!

Just look at me now, I'm nothing. Nobody bothers to communicate with me. Nobody cares about me, no one's ever loved me, not even my own mother and definitely not my step-father. Ever since I was a kid, I've had no friends. I'm glad I'm moving from this town. I'm in the car now, we're on our way to our new place. The movers left yesterday, hopefully they're unloading our stuff. I plan on making a fresh start… I hope I can. The situation will probably stay the same. I want things to change for the better. I don't want to always feel like I'm so messed up and alone. I want someone to care about me, to always be there for me. But things won't end up like that. Not for me. I don't deserve it, since I don't seem to have a purpose. In fact, I'm waiting for the day I will disappear. I should have been nonexistent, never born. My gray-black iPod slips from my hand and lands between my feet. I curse as it immediately shuffles. Color Me Blood Red by Malice Mizer starts playing. Kuso. I forgot to switch on the hold. I like this song though, otherwise why would I have put it onto my iPod? My mother starts shouting at my step-father, probably about something stupid. Honestly, I don't see why they are even together. They fight all the time.

"I told you I didn't buy them!" My mother screamed.

"You should have! Thank's to you, I don't have any cigarettes!" Ganondorf's (step-dad) face turned red with rage.

"Too bad!" My mother was the one driving and yet she still managed to slap him.

"Don't you dare raise a hand against me." Ganondorf snarled. Oh he was furious.

"I will if I fucking want! You can't control me!" Mother's eyes were ablaze with anger.

My turn. "Hey…calm down. Let's just be mellow and cool out."

They both shoot me a glare that quite clearly said "Shut the fuck up, child." I held my tongue and said no more. I turned the volume up. The song switched to Numb by Linkin Park. God, I haven't heard this song in forever. My parents were still fighting and I knew for the little I said, I would probably pay. I'm better off saying nothing. So I hugged my bear, Kuroshi, and drifted off to sleep.

-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-

When I woke up, it was because the car came to a sudden stop. I flew forward and smashed my face into the passenger seat. Ganondorf turned around to glare at me. "Boy, you better not do that again or I'll kick your face in. Oh, and check your nose." He smirked at that last bit and I nodded and pressed my hand to my nose. I looked at it. There was blood. A lot of blood. My nose started throbbing. I'm pretty sure I broke it. I felt along my nose to see if anything was uneven. Nope. Luck is on my side, for now anyways. I tried to wipe some of the blood off the seat, smearing it all over my sweatshirt. Man! This is my favorite sweatshirt! I guess I'll just wash it when I can. I sigh and just sit there. What else can I do besides wait 'til we get to the house or stop somewhere? My parents won't do anything to help, I have to do it all by myself. That's how it's always been. They don't care about me, I don't care about them. Wait. Where is my iPod? I looked on the floor and on the seat, not seeing it. Ah crap. I have a bad feeling. "Uhm, hey Ganondorf…"

"What kid?" He says harshly.

I flinch at his tone. "Er, do you know where my iPod is?"

He held out his huge hand to show me he had it. "Yes, I do."

"Well… could I have it back? Please?" I hate this guy, I'm not scared of him or anything, well not too much.

"Huh, I guess so." He throws it at my face and laughs as I try to catch it, but it smacks into my face.

I rub my face, then pick it up from my lap, where it fell. I turn my iPod on and turn it to Eraser by Alice Nine. My nose finally stopped bleeding, but there's still blood on my face and my hands, plus my sweatshirt. The car's quiet, and I flip through my iPod, listening to random songs. At one point it turned to some creepy yodeling song and I quickly change it while trying to figure out how it got on there. My mom pulls up to a gas pump at a gas station I've never even heard if and starts to fill the car with gas. I tell Ganon I'm going to grab something from inside. I step out of the car and look around. It's dark outside and there are barely any cars. I look at my phone and realize it's 3 am. When did it get so late? We left at 8pm! I was distracted when I walked in the store and was hit by the smell. It smelled really delicious. Like strawberries and pocky. I licked my lips and decided I would buy some strawberries and of course, pocky, next time we went shopping.

I looked around for the drinks and found what I was looking for. SoBe! SoBe and Ramune are my favorite drinks. I grab a strawberry banana SoBe and head to the register. I set it on the counter and pull my wallet from my pocket. I had three 10's and a twenty. The cashier stared at me as if expecting me to shoot him. I give him a ten and he gives me change and I head back to the car, realizing why he was staring at me. I still had blood all over myself. I put my SoBe in the car and told mom that I was going to wash off my face in the bathroom. So I went back inside and asked the clerk where the bathroom was. He pointed to a sign in the back, which I don't know how I hadn't seen it, and headed that way. The bathroom was unlocked so I didn't hassle with knocking. I went to the sink, not bothering to close the door and splashed water on my face, and tried to get most of it off. I watch the water turn pink and shiver. I hate the sight of blood. It reminds me of…things…bad memories of my childhood.

:Flashback:

I walked into the house, I was 7. My birthday was today. I just got off the bus from school. I was excited to see my birthday cake and presents that Ganondorf and Mom had promise me. As I walked into the kitchen, I suddenly stopped. My entire body became rigged. My mom was lying on the floor beside the table bleeding. Blood was pouring out from a gash on her head and cuts on her stomach. I screamed and ran to her. I kneeled on the floor, shaking her, calling her name, holding her hand. I couldn't do anything. I didn't know any emergency numbers. No one bothered to tell me. I got up and went to go look for Ganondorf, but I couldn't find him. He wasn't there. I rushed to the neighbor's house and I was crying so hard, they couldn't understand me. I managed to pull them to my house and I ran to my mom and I couldn't stop crying. I thought she was dead. I don't know how much time had passed. Eventually, paramedics came, and I guessed the neighbors called 911 and I didn't notice. Next thing I knew, I was in the waiting room with Ganondorf. I didn't have the slightest idea as to how they got a hold of him, but somehow they did. Last I remember is thinking "I guess this means I don't get any cake or presents."

:End Flashback:

I came back from the memory and the water is still running. How long have I been here? Five minutes? Ten? Twenty? I look in the mirror to check that all the blood is gone and notice that I'm crying. I wipe the tears with the back of my clean sleeve and turn the faucet off. I grab a paper towel and dry my face off. Someone clears their throat and I jump. I look over to see Ganondorf standing in the doorway, red faced, foot tapping.

"Boy, you better finish up! You've been in here for half an hour!" Ganon shouted Impatiently.

I stared at him, then nodded slowly. "Sorry. I'm done now."

Wow. Thirty minutes huh? As we walked, er I mean, as Ganondorf stomped and I followed him, I wasn't really paying attention and slammed my you-know-what on a shelf and fell on my face. Ganon turned around and started booming with laughter. Someone rushed over to me and stuck his hand out to me.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I got up, ignoring his hand and nodded. Fudge. Someone saw me, Even though I knew I would probably never see this guy again, I felt stupid and embarrassed. I stood there trying o breathe slow, to calm down. "Yeah. My name's Dark. What about yo-"

"Stop wasting my time! Get to the car, you useless child!" Ganondorf interrupted and barked at me.

I sulked to our blue Scion TC and got in. At least I tried to make conversation. Ganondorf got in and told my mom about my tripping episode in there and she broke out into a laughing fit. We got back on the road and it seemed pretty pointless to have stopped because it only took three minutes until we pulled in front of a white two-story house with a good sized yard. (very green) I got out of the car and grabbed my backpack and other things I had in the car, and headed inside. The movers had come and gone. Everything was where mom had marked on the blue-print she had hand drawn. I checked out the rooms on the first floor and discovered the bathroom, kitchen, living room, dining room, and my parents' room. They had the back of the house near no doors or stairs. Good. I went upstairs and found the computer room, my bathroom, my room, and the other living room. Basically, the entire floor was mine. The computer room was on the right, across from my room, with the living room on its right. My room was on the left, with my bathroom on its right. I enter my room and set my stuff on the floor and flop onto my bed, and fall into a state of what I call sleep. I'll unpack my stuff tomorrow.

-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-F-H-T-

I roll over and almost fall off the bed. I open one eye, then the other. Wait, where am I? This isn't… Oh yeah…This is my new room. In the new house. I sit up and hear a yell. Maybe that's why I woke up? It was probably just because I almost fell off my bed. I stand up and walk into the living room. I find one of my DVD's in a box after some digging and pop it in. I find the remote in a different box marked "Plates, Living room" Obviously, it wasn't a box of plates. Mom probably either re-used this box or wasn't thinking. The main menu flashed on the screen and I take a seat on the couch and press play. Luckily, it's Saturday so I don't have school today or tomorrow. I pull out my phone to check the time like I always do. 3:30pm. For real? Jeeze. I slept long today. My screen flashed "New Msg" and vibrated. Huh. No one texts me. I flipped open my phone and opened the message from mom. "Get to work. No watching Cry Baby or Toy Story or any of those dumb things you take interest in. There's a lot to do." I frown and begin pounding rapidly at the numbers on my phone. "They're not dumb. And yes Ma'am. I'll get to work right away." I press the send button and flicked my phone shut. No, I don't have a keyboard or a touch screen phone. Just a simple open-close phone. I don't mind it. I'm glad I didn't get one of those stupid fancy ones. I put my phone in my pocket and walk back to my room. I shut the door and notice the rest of my things are in here. Someone brought in about five boxes and pushed them against my wall.

I walked to the box marked "Electronics" and pulled out my iHomo, er I mean iHome, which was black, and set it on my bed and plugged it in. I hooked my iPod up and shuffled it. Grabbing a random box, I reach in and pull out the first thing. A pair of socks. I toss them to my dresser and did the same with my other socks and boxers. I stopped and noticed I had my sweatshirt on, so I take it off and throw it on my bed. I go back to unpacking and started to pull out my shirts and pants, which I start to throw near the closet. I have bad aim. I stare in amazement as my favorite pair of blue jeans fly out my open window. "Kuso!" I shout and run to the window. I look down and see my pants are on a sticker bush. Great. I push against the glass and turn around. I run down stairs.

"Where are you going boy?" As you could all guess, it was Ganondorf.

"Erm, I accidentally threw my pants out my window. Into a sticker bush." I responded. He's going to laugh and then go tell mom.

Ganondorf stares, laughs, then wanders back to the kitchen, a glass of rum in his hand, and I hear him try to tell my mom without laughing. Go figure. I step outside and find the pants and lean into the blasted bush. I hope I don't fall in. I grab my pants and carefully pull them out.

"Itai!" Freaking bush! I got my pants so screw you bush! I go back to my room, shut the door and the window, and continue sorting things again. I come across my sweatshirts. My Bleach sweatshirt is the one I need to wash, the one on the bed. In total, I have 5 sweatshirts. They are: a black and blue striped one, My Neighbor Totoro, One with the Japanese kanji for "Strength", a Girugämesh sweatshirt, a Bleach sweatshirt, and a "Beware Of Perverts" sweatshirt. After I finished sorting clothes, I put them away. Next box is… My manga and anime! Cool. I have over 40 volumes of manga and some Shonen Jump, and yes I admit it, Shojo Beat too. Feed your inner girl side. I have about 30 anime volumes. I usually buy them with my own money. Normally, I don't get anything for birthdays or holidays. Any regular kid would be devastated. It doesn't bug me, so I guess I'm not regular, eh? Oh well. I slide my manga and anime onto my shelf near my bed. My bed is queen sized, by the way. It has a normal railing frame thing. Which is black. My comforter is blue and it's really fluffy! (smile) I have 3 regular pillows. Anyways, I finished with the manga + anime.

I return to the box marked "Electronics" and pull out my camera and set it on the shelf above the shelf with my anime + manga. I did the same with the other things I pull out of that box. Which were mainly cords for various things like my camera, phone, hand-helds, and iPod. And If you're wondering, no, I'm not rich. But we're not broke and we're not exactly middle class. Well, I guess you could say we're rich. I dunno. I finish the "Electronics" box and quickly unpack the remaining boxes.

"Jeeze! Finally done!" I mutter to myself and sit on my bed. I pull out my phone and check the time. 5:17pm. Huh. I coulda swore it was at least 6:30pm. Geh, whatever. I head into the t.v room and unpack everything in there. After I'm done with that, I go to the bathroom and unpack the few things in there. I find my toothbrush and place it in the mirror cabinet. I put my Shampoo & Conditioner in the shower, body wash too. I see a big black blob, out of the corner of my eye, scuttle across the shower floor. I look and notice it's a giant spider. "AHHHHH! HOLY FUCK!" I shout. (manly!) and grab a book from the counter (?) and smash it over and over again, just to make sure it's dead. Erg, I hate spiders. Now to clean this up. I grab some toilet paper and wipe off the book (?) then the bottom of the shower. I run the water to wash off the guts and what-else from the shower. I toss the toilet paper into the trash, as well as the book (?). Where did that book even come from? It's not even mine!

Oh well. I step out into the hall and snap off the lights. Yes, I turned off the water. I enter the computer room and unpack the two boxes in there, then check the time again. New Msg. Well, what a strange time. I snap open my phone and read the text from Ganondorf. "Macke own diner. Yore mom and I gowing out for night. We'll b back in 24%$f ours. Stae out of truble boy." I swear. He is so lazy. He can barely spell. I don't see the point in responding. It's 6:39pm. Alright. I'll go make ramen, than watch movies or go on the computer or something.

A/N: Be happy! It took me a long time to re-type and edit this! As we speak, I'm eating ramen. Hopefully, Chapter two and three will be up soon. Chapter two is done, I just have to type it up. And chapter three is almost done. XD But I'm not typing anything more today. I plan on posting 2&3 in the same day, so wait for it! Reviews make it so Dark doesn't get into more accidents, unless you're a hateful person and want him to get hurt D And a hint about Dark's last name. It's the last name of Koji Kondo, the composer for all the music of The Legend Of Zelda! My idol! *sparkles*

Dark: What? Don't kill me!

Revolution: Nonsense! I wouldn't kill you! *evil smile*

Dark: …

Revolution: Hm?

Dark: *Sigh* So hopeless.

Revolution: Thank you.

Dark: Shut up.

Revolution: What was that? *Goes into Kira mode* I HAVE CONTROL OVER YOU! WATCH! *writes something down*

Dark: ….. *randomly dances and begins to sing*

Revolution: KUKUKUKUKU! Bye for now!
