Link, the hero of Twilight, the hero who saved all of Hyrule from the wretched Ganondorf merely three years ago. Much had happened since then, Link had moved to a home in Castle Town, became head knight of Princess Zelda's guards, and became well known in all of Hyrule. He sighed while he got ready for another day of patrolling Hyrule feild, because though everything had now become peaceful in this land, Link's thoughts were not. The tall and dark king who Link had to defeat, the evil Ganondorf, had now stopped plaguing the land, but began to plague Link's mind. Night after night the hero had to face Ganondorf in his nightmares. Oh, but these were not ordinary nightmares, these dreams delved into the one thought of this man he wished nobody would ever learn of.

"Link...you still believe I'm gone?" The large gerudo snarled into his ear before his tongue ran itself languorously up the tip of Link's ear. A mewl and whimper escaped Link, and he arched up into the naked man above him. Whose large and warm hand rubbed deliciously on his member in deep strokes as the tip of Ganondorf's member rubbed against the hero's own. Ganondorf's lips trailed kisses down his jaw and chuckled. "I am never gone, you may have thought you'd gotten rid of me..oh but I'm still here..merely waiting for you to find me. Now that I've returned..I'm coming for you." He suddenly groaned, gold eyes looking downwards and chuckling.

"It seems like I'm coming on you as well..."

Dreams like that would haunt Link. He hated how he had found sexual attraction in the man he had killed, and now he felt the goddesses were punishing him for it. He looked in the mirror, placing his gloved hands on the dresser. His blue eyes bore harshly back, and he would find himself speaking to himself much more so now that he lived alone.

"He..He's gone, Link. You know that. Those dreams are just screwing with your head.. You gotta patrol today and you won't be alert if you don't forget..h-he's dead." He got up, finished getting dressed and left the house before the sun had fully come up. His home was relatively close to the path to the castle, just in case her majesty needed him. He said hello to his fellow guards as he made his way towards the stables outside, Epona waiting for him just at the beaten dirt path. He walked up to her, smiling and petting her mane as he spoke.

"Hey girl, you ready?" He asked her, and Epona snorted and whinnied happily. "Atta girl!" He cheered, jumping onto her back. He rode her back to the stables for a moment, looking to the worker there; a woman about his age with red hair and freckles.

"Ma'am, did you feed the horses already?" He asked kindly, she smiled at him and nodded.

"I did, Captain Link. Epona's ready for the day, just like you asked for yesterday!" She informed. He nodded and turned back towards the path, going on his weekly patrol. His route wasn't so simple, he was to visit each of the provinces, ask of problems in the area, deal with any problems, and then circle back and return to Castle Town to report to Princess Zelda. It seemed rough, but Epona was hardy and his other field knights would sometimes help on occasion when they had finished their own duties.

It was about seven thirty at night when he finished his final stop, sunset darkening slowly as he took it easy with Epona and trotted the way back. A second neigh caught Link's ear, and he turned his head, expecting another knight but gasping as he saw nothing but a large black horse with bright red eyes approaching him. Link and Epona turned around, preparing to guide the wild horse away from the castle but the black colt had other plans. It snorted loudly at him, tilting his head as to tell Link to follow him. Link knew the horse looked familiar but he wouldn't admit it, that is until the horse had guided him to a large body collapsed on the ground. He got off Epona, cautiously walking towards the body before kneeling down and turning it over with a grunt so the body was on its back. He gasped, the figure garbed a black cloak with a hood, in black trousers and a loose and dirty white v neck, though he knew this man.

"G-Ganondorf..." He muttered.

The features were unmistakeable; reddish yellow hair usually in curls on his head where now straight and fanned out on the ground, his beard longer yet still messy. He bit his lip, what should he do? Should he take him in? Kill him here? His own choice was not the wisest, but he did have the triforce of courage; not wisdom. He gently tapped his fingers against Ganondorf's cheek, shaking him and speaking as he repeatedly did so.

"Come on...wake up. Get up, Ganondorf..I know it's you, and if you don't get up ill leave you out here in the dark. Get up, c'mon up and at 'em." He tried to wake the gerudo, only to groan before taking his glove off and rearing his hand back.

"I said..GET UP!" Before he could strike the other hard, a large hand reached up and grabbed his hand, golden eyes opening. Link saw Ganondorf's appearence now that he was staring at him in shock. There were bags under the dark king's eyes, his skin was a lighter greenish grey, and he was basically shaking as he felt Ganondorf's fingers entwine with his.

"G-Ganondorf..." He muttered, still in shock. "G-Get up. Now." He ordered, and Ganondorf silently complied, not letting go of Link's hand, making the hero blush unnoticeably.

"Follow me, don't speak, and we'll be fine. Are we clear?" Link said sternly, dragging Ganondorf forward as the two horses followed. They were right in front of the entrance to Castle Town, so he quickly put the cloak over the larger man's head to cover his features and covered his body with the cloak. With odd looks from the woman who treated the horses when Link returned with this odd man, she complied when Link asked to take care of this extra horse, as it was the horse of this man he 'rescued.' He went through the west entrance of the town, as it was closest to his home and he'd get Ganondorf in his home without causing any attention to be brought upon themselves.

"Captain? Who is this man?" The guard at the west entrance asked, trying to see under the cloak but saw darkness.

"I don't know, I found him passed out in the field. He won't speak but I'm taking him to my home." He explained. He suddenly went stern, looking at the guard in the eyes. "Do NOT tell anyone I am bringing him here. The man is shy enough as it is he doesn't need everyone coming to see him. You will not mention him to anyone, you will not talk about him to me, If I hear you told anyone, I'll drop you down to cadet rank doing everyone else's jobs with low pay and i know you need money. do you understand?" He growled. The guard's eyes widened and he nodded, opening the gate and letting the two slip in. He snuck Ganondorf down back roads, leading him through the back door of his one floor home. The back door lead to the kitchen of the home, which was relatively small but could be accessed through both front and back doors, to the right was a regular tv room with two couches facing the television and a fireplace on the other side of the wall between the couches, its entrance just an open pathway, and to the left led to a hallway with two bedrooms and three bathrooms; one for each bedroom and a hall bathroom.

"I uh...welcome to my home, I guess.." Link said, leading Ganondorf in as he dropped his keys to the kitchen table. He blushed, noticing how Ganondorf still had his hand entwined with his, which he probably had the entire way here. He sighed when Ganondorf finally let go to sit on one of the cushioned chairs in the kitchen. Link ignored how Ganondorf's eyes never left his body as he left the room to go to his bed room and quickly change attire to a more relaxed loose tan pants and grey tank top. When he returned Ganondorf was staring at the tv still on from the other room, but turned to be transfixed with him as he entered the room.

"I-I gotta make dinner so I'll make you something. Leftover pumpkin soup sound good to you?" He asked as he got a container of the soup from the refridgerator, though Ganondorf merely stayed silent and stared, now a sly grin was on Ganondorf's lips when Link looked back at him. "I'll just reheat some for you too." He sighed. While he heated up the soup with the stove he kept his eyes away from Ganondorf. He felt the staring still, and he braced himself for Ganondorf to speak finally. He nearly screamed when he felt large hands on hips and a chin on his shoulder suddenly.

"You sounded pretty sexy barking orders at that guard back there..." A deep and gruff voice purred in his ear. His hands rubbed Link's stomach as they crossed and wrapped his arms around him, his chest was against Link's back. Link gasped, not daring to look back at Ganondorf. "What? Already regretting bringing me to your home?" He asked. Link groaned, pushing back on Ganondorf.

"No, but you're lucky I didn't leave you in the feild. Could you get off I'm trying to make you food." Link growled, he had to go give his report and if Ganondorf got him late there's hell to pay. Ganondorf got off finally after nipping his ear and sat at the kitchen table. Link quickly poured the soup into two bowls and put them at the table, giving Ganondorf a spoon as they ate in silence.

"Promise me you'll wait here. I have to go finish my job for tonight." He groaned.

"You know I'm bored easily, Hero, what shall I do while you're away?" Ganondorf laughed.

"I dont know; explore, play with the cats, watch tv, i dont know! You're allowed to do anything in the house just don't leave, okay? I still have questions for you." He said, sighing and standing. "I'll be back, promise me you'll stay here?"

"Fine, Link, I'll stay here." Ganondorf promised, watching Link as he left and locked the doors, and then went through the gates to go to the castle.

"There you are, Captain Link. I was worried, your deadline for the night was almost up." Zelda said softly, looking at Link as he stood from his bow. "Some jobs take you more time?" She asked. Link nodded, giving his report to her with his jobs, though never telling of his finding of Ganondorf. She smiled, telling Link he was done for the week unless an emergency arose. Link bowed once more, smiling at the princess.

"Thank you, your highness." He beamed, standing and turning as Zelda told him he may leave.

When Link returned in was eerily quiet. The tv was off, his two cats were asleep on the sofa, the dishes were cleaned and put away, and the only real sound he heard was the shower and he sighed.

"Good, he's still here..." He murmured. As he spoke the sound stopped, and Link froze. He was anxious about all this; was keeping Ganondorf in his home for the night a bad thing? It was only for one night and then he'd make him go back to the desert he came from. No harm done, and he didn't seem like he wanted to kill Link...no..he seemed to want something else entirely. He blushed and shook the thought from his mind as he heard bare feet on the tile floor. Ganondorf emerged into the kitchen soon enough; thankfully in his clothes from before, his hair slicked back now that it was damp and it looked like he might have cleaned his beard up as it looked shorter than before. Link watched as Ganondorf took a seat on one of the sofas, glad there wasn't any windows in that room for in the dim light he'd surely be seen by the outside. He turned the tv on and Link joined him on the couch oposite to him, looking at him.

"Why are you here." He finally asked.

"I don't know." Ganondorf replied, and Link grit his teeth.

"What do you mean, you don't know?"

"Simple. I regained conciousness just in time before you slapped me awake. I don't know why I'm back. All I know is.." He paused to laugh softly. "The goddesses saw it fit to bring me back." He leaned back on the sofa, raising his right hand slightly to show Link his triforce of power was surely there. Link's eyes widened and he walked over to him, sitting next to him and staring at the Triforce peice on his hand.

"Wh-When did you see you had this?" He asked, looking in shock.

"Noticed it when I was in the shower." He laughed darkly, putting an arm around Link. "An odd turn of events, is it not?"

Link merely gulped, his eyes wide. He was shocked to see it, and he hated the fact that he felt his body get hotter when Ganondorf touched him so innocently. He quickly sprung from the couch, his two felines, both the large and small one, waking up in surprise, much to Ganondorf's confusion he looked to the hero, and Link quickly mumbled.

"I-I'm going to go figure out sleeping arrangements, w-wait here." He stammered, before darting into the guest room. Ganondorf laughed softly, watching him run. Link breathed heavily when he slammed the door shut, his eyes wide as he pressed his back up against the door. "Oh gods...I don't think I'll be able to handle this..." He mumbled. The guest bedroom only had one small window but high up, so Ganondorf could sleep in here. He got up, making the bed and moving to the closet and getting more clean pillows.

"I need to just make it through the night...make it through the night and then he'll be out of your hair..." He muttered.

"Don't be too sure, Hero." A gruff voice came from behind him, a gasp escaped Link again as Ganondorf turned him around and pulled him against his chest again.

"L-Let g-go..." Link muttered, pushing against the larger man and shuddered as he felt Ganondorf place his lips to Link's neck, biting and kissing. "G-Get off.." He muttered, only for his arms to wrap around Ganondorf's neck. Link leaned into the touch without thinking, he hated admitting it, but he wanted Ganondorf to touch him, he wanted those dreams to be reality with all his soul. Ganondorf moved them so Link was against the door and he continued to suck on Link's neck as a hand moved down and groped his groin. Link let a moan escape his lips. "M-More..." He mumbled softly, and Ganondorf complied by rubbing and squeezing the clothed erection. Just as soon as it began, it had ended. Ganondorf let go of Link and opened the door, Link tumbling backwards into the hall.

"See you in the morning!" He said before he shut the door abruptly.

Link's eyes widened in shock, what just happened was surely real, his arousal was evidence of that. He gulped, turning back to the living room. He walked over to the tv, shutting it off before clicking his tongue and waking up the two cats on the couch.

"Come on, fellas. Time for sleep." He laughed, watching as the small white kitten, Nelson, and the large brown cat, Felix, scampered off to their beds, though minutes later Nelson would manage to curl up next to Felix in the larger cat's bed. He walked over and pet the two before going into his own bedroom.

"What have you gotten yourself into, Link..."
