Chapter 1

Link awoke to the sunlight flooding in through the window, staring up at the ceiling to one of the guest rooms that belonged to Hyrule Castle. Zelda had invited him to spend the night since he finished his duties later than expected, and he would have collapsed due to exhaustion on the trip home. Without wanting to upset her, he accepted her offer. It's not like he had any other choice; he would do anything for the princess; he loved her dearly on top of that.

He sat up only to hear the sound of water running from the bathroom. Eyes widening, the blonde realized that Dark Link was also staying in the castle. Thinking back, he remembered that his shadow counterpart had helped him with a few of his duties, but even with his help, they still finished late. Link was confused as to why Dark Link had helped him, then his thoughts traveled back to last night.

The moment those thoughts reached him, his face transformed into a deep shade of red as he fell back on the bed, pulling the covers over his head to hide his blush. He didn't know how it all happened, only knowing the fact that it had all started with a simple kiss, and then went on from there. Link closed his eyes as every scrap of memory refilled his mind of the night before, a smile growing on his face.

The sound of the bathroom door opening entered his ears, along with the ravenette calling out his name. "Guess he's still asleep." The blonde heard before he felt Dark sit on the edge of the bed. "Not surprised since I gave him what I was holding back all this time. Unless . . ."

Link stayed quiet until he felt an urge to yelp when he felt arms wrap around him, pulling him close to the shadow. "I know you're awake, Link," Once again, Link never made a sound. He had to convince Dark that he was asleep, having too much pride as a hero to be found out. "Well if you're going to be like that, I have no choice but to punish you." The blonde mentally blushed as he felt something long and wet trail up his ear along with a hand trailing up to caress one of the pink buds on his chest. He did his best to not make a sound, but was so tempted to moan just a little. But he held back; it would take more than licking his ear to start making him moan. "You think you're so tough, don't you, Hero?"

Link jumped when he felt the ravenette's tongue slightly dip into his ear. His eyes snapped open, the blush on his face growing redder and his teeth biting down on his lip, trying to hold back a moan. He gripped the sheets underneath him, blood slowly drawn from his lip from biting down so hard. The blonde let out a few quiet pants, quiet enough so Dark wouldn't hear him. Unfortunately, Dark had other ways to make him moan.

Dark bit down hard on the nape of his neck, making Link almost lose it. He wished that Dark would stop all of this pointless teasing; he was about to go insane. He wanted to tell Dark that he was tired of teasing, but instead a moan escaped his lips. Dark smirked and pressed his lips against Link's ear. "I win."

"Oh shut up," Link pouted as a response and huffed his breath. "You cheated." He gave his counterpart a glare and turned away. Dark pecked his cheek with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

"That's pointless. You know I can't stay mad at you." Link smiled and snuggled up the the ravenette. Many people find it hard to believe that Link, the Hero of Time, would fall in love, especially fall in love with his dark counterpart, who was created by Ganondorf for one purpose, which was to kill the hero. Unfortunately, Dark Link never found the need to kill Link, but found the need to befriend him, which he did a few months after the two had their first interaction(it took Link a while to trust him). Dark didn't know how or when he started to have feelings towards the hero, but didn't worry about it too much.

Ever since finding out about these feelings he's been developing, Dark found it harder and harder to resist the urge to kiss Link, to hold him lovingly in his arms, just telling him how much he loved the blonde. Hell just looking at him makes the ravenette's face turn bright red. The previous night when they had just entered one of the many guest rooms, Dark tried as hard as he could to contain those emotions swelling up inside him, but he found it difficult with those sky blue eyes that he fell in love with stare at him. The awkward silence irritated Link and he grabbed Dark by the arm, asking him why he's been acting strange lately and why he's been avoiding the blonde. And with that, Dark had the hero roughly pinned to the bed, with those gorgeous eyes staring up at him, and his face tinted pink.

Dark couldn't help it, not with that face the blonde was making. In one swift motion, he captured the hero's lips with his own. Of course, Link wasn't expecting his counterpart to kiss him, but it sure explained a couple things to him: Dark was in love with him, he's been hiding it all this time, and he was too scared to tell Link. When that kiss was broken, Link just simply gave the ravenette a smile and said, "Thank you."

It was the exact opposite of what Dark had expected. He had thought at first that Link would reject him for even having those feelings, especially towards a male. But instead, Link had no desire to push him away and accepted those feelings.

But at the same time, Dark was scared of these feelings; not only because of the thought that Link would reject him, but because he knew he had to return to Ganondorf someday. The longer he was away, the more worried he was about the dark lord becoming suspicious about his whereabouts. If that's the case, he would suspect that Dark was with the hero, and if that were true, the two of them would be hunted down immediately and killed on sight: Link for his ambitions and Dark for his betrayal. Dark didn't want to imagine what would happen if Ganondorf found him.

The ravenette wrapped his arms around the blonde in a protective manner and pulled him close, having the hero lift his head to give him a concerned look. "Something wrong?" The blonde was responded to with a soft kiss and a tighter grip, followed by an affectionate glance from his counterpart. "It's nothing," He replied. "Just thinking, that's all."

Link nodded before before kissing one of his fingers. He felt uncomfortable with the ravenette's response, never liking it when people kept things from him. But this wasn't about him anymore; it was also about Dark Link as well. Knowing this, he felt that it wouldn't be right to ask Dark if he didn't want to talk about it.

In a matter of seconds, he had adjusted himself between the ravenette's legs and pulled his face in for a kiss. Dark flipped the two of them over so that he was hovering over the blonde. Link grabbed handfuls of his counterpart's hair as he felt the ravenette lightly suck on his collarbone, hands trailing down to wrap around his torso. "Hey Hero," Sky blue met crimson red as both pairs of lips pressed against each other. "I love you." Link heard the ravenette whisper in his ear. He smiled and pulled his counterpart into his arms. He's always wanted to hear those words for a long time, ever since he first started to become friendly with the ravenette. Kissing the top of his head, he replied with a whisper, "I love you too."
