I sighed softly getting out of my car headed for the house. Work had been terrible, you wouldn't think working as a fencing instructor in Hyrule could really take a lot out of you. I threw my keys on the counter stripping off my jacket. But today was special, today was our 24th birthday. I had a very interesting l present that I knew he'd love for him in my bag.
"You're home?" I looked up to see my twin brother Dark. He smiled warmly at me with a plate of pumpkin soup already waiting for me on the table. We may have the exact same looks but we were like darkness and light. He had silver hair with maroon eyes that seemed to sparkle with scarlet I was his opposite with cerulean eyes and sandy blonde hair. While I had tan skin he had strangely pale skin that made his eyes pop out more.
"Hi Dark" I smiled going to sit down at the table with him.
"How was your day?" A question he always asked after I came home. I was too anxious to really tell him how my day went. I wanted to show him his surprise.
He tied his hair back in a ponytail, it wasn't too long but he refused to cut it. He was wearing clothes that mirrored mine, I long button up black shirt with black jeans while I wore a green button-up shirt with white jeans.
"It was boring as usual, yours Dark?" He smiled standing up as he finished his food quickly.
"oh, nothing too important I was just relaxing since today was my day off." He left the kitchen for a moment going to our bedroom to retrieve something.
"Happy birthday Dark Link"
"Happy Birthday Link" we both laughed as the words left our mouths at the same time.
"Here I got you a present." Dark murmured holding a long black rectangular box wrapped in a green bow. It was a symbol of both of us, green was my favorite color and black his. I slowly unwrapped the box and stared in surprise, I was looking at the legendary master sword and the legendary black master blade.
They were wielded by Link and his shadow Dark Link back in the old legends, we were very close to the old legends simply because our names were given to us because of the hero of time.
"D-Dark, they're beautiful, how did you get them?" He smirked he was an archaeologist and there were some items that he was allowed to keep after so many years on display.
"A gift for my help in finding the triforce, they are putting it on display in two days. Be my date?" He winked, I smiled at his remark then stood up and hugged my dark twin. He returned my embrace and leaned his head on my shoulder, we sat there for a moment just holding each other. Every year on our birthdays since we were 15 we gave each other gifts that the heroes owned.
I pulled away and grinned at him "your not the only one who got something amazing!" He grinned back at me as I pulled a box out of my bag with the opposite version of his wrapping. I gave it to him and he opened it swiftly revealing the two uniforms the heroes wore. His eyes glittered as they met mine, then trailed back to the black and green tunics. The outfit was complete down to the boots and gauntlets of the warriors.
"C-can we try them on now?" I nodded as he ran to our room with the tunic in hand. I slowly stripped off my clothes and put my uniform. Just as I finished trying on my gauntlets and adjusting my hat, Dark came out of our room a huge grin on his face. I froze completely taken by surprise, he looked exactly as the heroes shadow had. He was so stunning, his beautiful silver hair seemed to make him radiate even more against the tunic.

That's when everything around us changed we were in a desert sitting in a cave as a storm passed. Dark was pacing glaring in my direction every few seconds.
"Goddesses Dark, stop moving you are giving me a headache!" I said with a voice that wasn't my own. It sounded younger and more regal.
"Well maybe if you had listened to me we wouldn't be stuck here!" He snarled baring his fangs at me. While I simply sighed leaning back against the wall watching as he continued his pacing finally silent.
Then after a while I hadn't heard a peep out of him, it wasn't like Dark to be like this.
I glanced up at him he had gone quiet, then I noticed his whole expression changed to one of mischief. I narrowed my eyes at him, what could he be planning. He only grinned as he stared back at me.
"Link it's awfully hot in here isn't it?" I sighed at least he had stopped pacing.
"I suppose it is Dark." I said pressing back against the cool walls of the cave. He smirked and began unlacing the top of his red Gerudo tunic. I blushed seeing the mark I had made the night before, he pushed me to the edge and I forced him to face the consequences. Though I doubt Dark minded he loved being rough. He pulled his belt off first then let it fall before the tunic hit the ground soundlessly. I licked my lips his beauty was taunting body was bruised and filled with my marks. He stood before me for a moment allowing me to admire his body before he slowly sank to his knees crawling over to me unbuckling my belt, I stare mesmerized as he looks up at me, his ruby eyes are blown wide with lust. His pale skin glistening with sweat from walking in the desert for so long.
After my tunic was off I let my hand knot in his hair forcing his eyes to meet mine. I shivered as his pink tongue darted out to wet his lips. I tugged on his hair until he willingly crawled closer seating himself on my lap. "I think this would be a better way to spend our time here? Is it not?" He whispers, his soft lips brushing against my ear. "You seem to enjoy taking advantage of me, shadow." I whisper the nickname lovingly. He smiles his nose skimming against my jaw before he places a small kiss on my neck. There was a love between us no one could ever break. Unable to wait any longer Darks lips invaded mine his tongue touching and feeling everything it could. I moaned against his lips as he wrapped his arms around my neck.

That's when I heard Dark hit the ground, the memory shattered before us. "D-did you see that too L-Link? Tell me I wasn't the only one." His voice was shaky as he spoke.
I slowly walked to him finally able to move I sank to my knees and hugged him tight.
"I-I saw it too Dark" I kissed his forehead and rubbed his back trying to calm him.
"They were lovers! Not brothers as the lore led us to believe." Dark whispered in shock.
"We both saw it! They were in love." That's when we both felt a different pull yanking at our subconscious. We both turned to our swords humming with power, they looked as though a pure inner light had been lit inside them.
"Masters, my calculations show a 95% chance that your memories have begun to awaken." We both froze starring as two figures descended from our swords, they were the same person except one was Dark one was light.
"Our name is Fi, we are the sword spirits of the master swords." We both looked at each other surprised before turning back to the swords. "masters, if the swords of evils bane have awoken it means it is time for you to begin your quest and face your destiny."
Dark shook his head "our destiny? What are you talking about!" I put my hand on his shoulder, feeling him immediately relax against my touch.
"Calm down, let's hear them out" I whispered looking back at the spirits they clearly weren't human. I helped Dark to his feet and sat him on the couch, then looked again at the swords. "The Dark Queen has regained her memories, she will come after you to kill you."
Both Fi's said appearing in front of us. I shook my head this was impossible.
"why would she want to kill us?" Dark said standing up to face the darker sword sprite from his blade.
"You are the Heroes chosen by the goddess. The only thing that stands in her way of conquering Hyrule and turning it into an age of despair." I froze as another memory washed over me.

"Look Dark! We're here!" I called to him cheerfully. He smiled but it didn't seem to reach his eyes, I had felt something was wrong with Dark for a while now but he refused to show it. That's why I had brought him to the Goron springs in Eldin province we had got them all to ourselves. I wanted us to relax and talk, I had developed feelings for him during our quest I wanted to show him. I started stripping off my tunic noticing Dark eyeing me carefully.
"are you going to join me, or just watch ?" I said completely naked now staring at him challenging eyes, although with either choice I still liked the outcome. I waited a moment and he said nothing just continued staring at me, I sighed walking over to him.
"I swear I have to do everything for you," I said as I unbuckled his belt and let it fall to the ground before working off all of his clothes.
"Link" I looked up and tilted my head questioningly. He sounded so serious, I couldn't help but swallow hard at the words that are to come. "We shouldn't do this... We shouldn't be like this. We are enemies after all."
I looked down he had stuck a very big nerve. Not only was I naked but I was more vulnerable than I had ever been in front of Dark. I looked away, the tears already pooling in my eyes, this is what I had feared. My feelings weren't enough for him, but I'm not willing to give him up... I love him.
"We weren't enemies when you saved me in the twilight realm. When you saved me from Zant, when you took care of me after my fight with Ganon. " I said my voice breaking I could feel the tears spilling down.
"Link" he whispered softly as he ran his hand through my hair.
"I-I love you" I cried clinging to his body in a last ditch effort to make him understand that I couldn't live without him... I don't want to. I felt his chin resting on my hair, as he embraced me back. Absolute warmth was what I felt with my other half, he was perfect and I couldn't help but love him more with every minute we spent together.
"I've always loved you. My little hero of twilight." I looked up into his eyes absolutely mesmerized by the ruby orbs beckoning me. He cupped my cheek pulling me forward until his breath was fanning against my parted lips, I couldn't hold back anymore and forced him into a kiss. He pulled me close to him and kissed me hard finally showing his true emotions. He must have been afraid for tomorrow Midna would judge whether he would stay or return to the twilight realm.
"No matter the outcome of tomorrow, we have tonight" I whispered. He picked me up finally smiling a real smile, he sat us both in the hot spring. I sat between his legs leaned against him as he planted kisses down the crook of my neck.
"Hero of twilight?" I turned to look at Darks face, he had hardly ever been serious in our travels so seeing him like this was new.
"Tell me your confession one more time."
I turned so I was kneeling in front of him a huge grin on my face "I love you, Dark Link."

With that, the memory shattered once more. I couldn't hold myself up anymore, I felt my knees shake then I blacked out.
