In the morning, Link is the first to wake up and he had a bit of a hangover, holding his head. "Ugh... What happened yesterday? There was that fight... Then everything is just a blank..." Link puts his boxers and pants on then walks out to the Patio and stares at the rising sun.

Cloud wakes up shortly after Link, groaning. He scratches his head and sits up, looking around. "Why am I naked..." He thought, looking around for his clothes. He put his strangely dirty boxers on, along with his pants. Cloud noticed the towel slumped beside the wall, trying to piece together what happened yesterday. "I was with Link..."

"It's always nice see the sunrise... Pretty sure they serve breakfast here, so I'm gonna go eat..." Link walks back into the room and is startled by Cloud, reacting by yelling and almost fainting, falling on the ground.
Cloud looks at Link, surprised. "Looks like we're both on the same page." He groans, rubbing his temples. "I don't usually get hangovers..."

"Uuurgh..." Link gets off the ground and holds his head. "What exactly happened...?"
"Im not sure, but... I woke up naked, which is strange..." Cloud stood up, grabbing the towel and inspecting it. Suddenly, he dropped it again, wiping his hand on his pants. "Ugh..." Cloud looked at his hand... Then froze. "Link... I-I think... We..."
Link's eyes widen. "It makes sense... That's the only logical explanation too... Oh Hylia, how drunk were we?"
"I-I'm not sure. I could feel worse... But I certainly feel disgusting..." Cloud kept wiping his hand and groans, a little annoyed. "Let's just... Keep this to ourselves."
Link nods and pretends to zip his lips up.

"Well, should we go eat? There isn't a specific place to eat but they serve food here, I'm sure of it..." Link offers.
"Thats fine by me. I just want to know more about what happened." Cloud says, finding his shirt and putting in on.
Link sighs. "The only way we can do that is by remembering, and who knows how long that'll take?" Link then starts getting properly dressed. "Come on, let's go downstairs.
Cloud puts on the rest of his clothes and mounts his sword, following Link to the kitchen.

"Oh, good morning Link!" A lady in plain clothes and red hair greets him. "I assume you're here for breakfast." She says. Link nods. "Yes Anju..."
"Oh, and who's this?" Anju asks, looking at Cloud.
"Cloud. I'm with Link, it's good to meet you." Cloud introduces himself with a nod, then looking at Link. "What will you get?"
"Ugh... I'll get anything that won't make me throw up..." Link answers. Anju laughs. "Too much Chateau Romani last night then? I got it... And you?" She asks Cloud.
Cloud shrugs. "I'm not too familiar with the menu, surprise me."

"Alright then. I'll be done in a few minutes, go back to your room and I'll bring it up." Anju says, bowing.
"Okay then, let's go Cloud." Link makes his way back, pressing against the wall to balance.
Cloud sighs, following Link up to their room. "I better put the towel in the washing machine." He says, throwing the fabric into the machine once he gets it from the room. Coming back, he groans again and rubs his head.

Link holds out a bar of soap. "You might wanna wash your hands..." He says, too embarrassed to look at Cloud.
"Y-Yeah, I'll get on that..." Cloud takes the soap and heads to the bathroom, washing his hands. He dries them off once he is done, then walking back to the bed.

As Cloud approached the bed, he sees that Link had pulled the sheets off of the bed and was examining them closely.
There was a cum stain. It wasn't big but it was there.

Link was silent, but he began folding it up and quickly ran off to throw it in the laundry, when he came back...

"Gimme the soap."
Cloud handed Link the soap, curious about what he was doing, since he didn't see anything wrong with the sheets.

Link quickly washed his hand and perfect timing! Anju was here with breakfast! There was some type of soup for Link and what looked like a basic breakfast for Cloud. "Here you go. Eat up!" She says, then leaving the room.

Cloud nodded and took his portion. It had an omlete with tomatoes and meat. He takes a bite... It tastes like chicken. "Remimds me of back home. Whst kind of meat it this?"
"Well, we have cows here... It's probably cow... You have cows too right?" Link says, drinking his soup straight from the bowl.
"We do, actually. At least some part of our worlds are similar." Cloud takes another bite of his omlete. "We also have other animals, like Chocobos. They're basically giant birds who run on two legs. You can even tame them and ride them. Have you heard of them?"
Link shakes his head. "Speaking of birds, we have cuccos... Apparently they're similar to chickens. Cuccos lay eggs, are small enough to easily carry but make no mistake... Piss one off and you'll barely make it out alive." Link replies, drinking more of his soup.
"I'm not surprised. Back home, making a Chocobo mad, they would literally run you over." Cloud explains, finishing his omlete and drinking a glass of water.

"Oh, you should see what happens... I think I have a video clip of Toon me... Lemme just..." Link rummages through his pockets and pulls out a Camera-like device. "Here, watch." Link shows the video on the device to Cloud. The video is of Toon Link being reluctant to beat up a Cucco, but does it anyway and then a Cucco army is summoned and attack him, thankfully Link - the one holding the camera - pulls him out of the flock of rage and runs, with Toon Link thanking him at the end.

"Huh... I don't remember that end bit..." Link comments.
"Huh." Cloud comments. "Interesting. He's practically you, but smaller. I've never seen that before."

"Yeah, he's from a time period beyond the one we're currently in." Link can't help but smile. "We don't often see each other but it's nice when we do... He's like a little brother to me." He adds, now looking a little nostalgic.
Cloud nods, understanding. "That sounds nice. I wonder what it would be like, to find a smaller version of me." He jokes, shaking his head. "That would just be obscure."
"Well, he's my descendant so it makes some sense that he'd look like me." Link replies.
"Yeah, it does." Cloud agrees, looking around.

"I wonder if I could show you something..." He rummages through his pocket, grabbing a green orb that glows. It has energy emitting off of it. "Ever seen this?" Cloud asks.
Link shook his head. "Not exactly... Things that come close are remains of Farore's power though..."

"Hmm...interesting. Well, I could show you what this does. Here." Cloud walks out and onto the patio, inviting Link over. He levitates the ball over his forearm as it is absorbed into his arm. Suddenly, he shoots his arm up, as a burst of fire shot into the sky. "We use these things to attack enemies in our world. They're called Materia." Cloud then somehow took the orb out of his arm, handing it to Link. "Want to try?"
"... You sure it won't feel strange?" Link asks, still avoiding certain eye contact. Every time he almost looks at Cloud's eyes he quickly looks away and turns a little red.
"It might at first, but..." Cloud gives Link a good look, it's evidant that he's avoiding eye contact. "You alright?"

Link clenches his left fist and manages to look at Cloud. "It's just... We fucked each other, I'm sure of it... And we're acting like it didn't happen!" Link quickly looks away but goes back to keeping eye contact. "It feels... Weird... And..." Link scratches the back of his head. "I was thinking that we could try a real relationship... Like... What else could possibly go wrong? I know this probably sounds absurd..." Link goes back to not looking at Cloud.

Cloud sighs, looking down. "You know..." He pauses. "We could give it a try. And... We'll go slow, right?" He looks up at the sky. "I mean, it's a little strange... But its normal, in a way."

Link looks at Cloud once more. "R-really?!" He said, now looking like a love-struck schoolgirl.

Cloud nods faintly. "Yeah. And, if we don't end up liking it, we can just say it up front and personal. Its trial and error. As long as you're fine with it..."

Link nods to agree to it and randomly hugs Cloud, then feeling a little too awkward to let go.

Cloud freezes in place, staring down at Link. Link is pretty short, compared to himself at least. But he didn't mind. He manages to hug Link back, but only a little. It felt strange to him, but he figures he'll get used to it.


Link felt a little calmer after the hug, now letting go of Cloud. "So, what should we do first? Nothing too extreme please, I still have a bit of a hangover."
"I wasn't planning anything extreme, don't worry." Cloud assures Link. "We could... Go for a walk?"

Link nods. "Although, Termina is a small place... The only place I can think of for a walk is Great Bay... I can take us there quickly but we will have to swim to shore." Link offers.
"Swim? I think that should be fine, as long as its not far." Cloud stretches his arms as he walks back into the room. He mounts his sword onto his back. "Ready when you are."

Link put his cap on as he hadn't before and got his sword and shield ready, then pulling out his Ocarina and links arms with Cloud again. He plays the Song of Soaring once more. Wrings wrap around them and they arrive on a base-like metal structure and it's only a minute swim from the shore.

"We're here!" Link is quick to dive in the water, his swimming style is the breaststroke.
Cloud looks around at the scenery. It's a little bit sunnier then he is used to, but he seems to be enjoying it. With that said, Cloud jumps in the water, holding on to the handle of his sword as he swims.

Link got to the shore first and shakes himself dry, then taking his cap off and squeezing it dry of any water then putting it back on, watching Cloud come up.
Cloud got up and out the water, shaking his head to get some of it out of his hair. "That was refreshing." He comments.
"And your hair is still spiky... Is it indestructible?" Link asks, laughing a little.
Cloud shakes his head, obviously, smirking a little. "I get asked that a lot. I'm honestly not sure, but its natural." He looks at Link, noticing his ears as they stand out from the wet hair. "But I haven't seen such a species with pointy ears like yours."

"Huh?" Link holds his ear for a bit. "I'd imagine you have... But I may as well explain. Let's walk." Link lets go of his ear and begins walking next to Cloud.

"I don't know why we have pointy ears, but people say it's so we hear better... It's not a trait exclusive to us Hylians either, the Kokiri - similar to Hylians but never physically age - have pointy ears too... Oh, Hylians are basically humans for this world." Link explains.
Cloud nods. "Makes sense. It must be some sort of evolutionary trait." He kept walking with Link. "Its interesting to talk about what we know and dont know about each other."
Link nods in response. "I have heard that these creatures called elves have pointy ears... I don't exactly know what they are but I often get called an Elf by people from other worlds." Link adds to the conversation.
Cloud couldn't help but laugh. "You certainly seemed like one when we first met. Back home, we treat elves as a thing of fantasy. They don't exist."
"I heard they exist in other worlds..." Link replies. "Oh, this will sound weird but if you wanna touch my ear you can..."

Cloud hesitates for a moment, then gently running his fingers across Link's ears. "I wonder what its like to have pointy ears." He adds, pinching the end of it gently to tease Link.
Link's cheeks turn a little pink and his ears twitched every time Cloud touches the tip of them, but he couldn't help but giggle a little about it.

Cloud pulls his hand away. "Sorry, I just..." He looks at Link, seeing an evident blush on his face. "Wow, you are sensitive."
"H-huh?" Link looked at Cloud, a little flustered.
Cloud shakes his head. "... Never mind. I don't want to get you worked up."
"I-It's fine, I just get embarrassed a little easily..." Link replies. "Oh, we're approaching Zora cape! They're a unique breed of fish people... I wonder if the band is gonna play today..."

Cloud seems confused, but he went with it anyways. "Fish? Band? Sounds interesting."
Link looks a little excited, he grabs Cloud's hand and run towards the concert hall, it looks like a building made entirely of huge shells.

Cloud stumbles forward, but keeps his balence as he enters the building. It was giant, and it looked busy. Cloud felt out of place once more. "Is this an auditorium?"
"Concert hall." Link replies. "And it looks like the band is getting ready for something. Even if it's just a practise, I think it would be nice to listen to some-Gya!" Link is pinned down by several small Zoras, they all seem to know him since they keep chanting his name.
Cloud gasps sharply and steps back, grabbing the handle of his sword out of reflex. But, everything seems to be fine. "Is...this normal?"

Link manages to stand up and laughs. "Yeah, I helped raise these kids when I had free time. I felt bad for them since their father died, and I knew him." Link says, blushing a little.
"Uncle Link! Mommy is gonna sing a new song! You should listen! Oh, who's this?" The young Zora's look at Cloud.
"This is Cloud, he's..." Link is a little unsure of what title to call Cloud, since they're trying for a relationship but don't really seem like it.

"I'm his aquaintence." Cloud answers for him, winking at Link. He looks down at the child that was playfully tugging at his half skirt. "I deal with this all the time back home, don't worry about it." Cloud assures Link, as the other Zora children started to play with Cloud.
"Your hair looks funny!" One of them says.

The lights dim a little bit. "Oh, you guys take a seat and listen to Mommy!" They pull Cloud and Link into seats. The Zora band start up a relaxing beat and the singer - the mother of the young Zoras - starts singing along.

Halfway through the song, Link yawns. "This song... So relaxing and beautiful..." He comments, then resting his head on Cloud's shoulder.
Cloud listens to the gentle music. "I'm enjoying this." He spoke softly, looking at Link. He seemed so loving, Cloud found it a little strange, but he told himself he'd learn to like it.

Once the song ended, Link was asleep and the young Zoras ran to their mother. A few seconds later and the mother walks up to Cloud and Link.

"You're Cloud, correct? I'm Lulu, friend of Link." She introduces herself, then giggling a little. "Link has always enjoyed his sleep... It's easy for him to sleep anywhere actually. And he can go out like a candle."
Cloud nods in response to her question, trying not to move to much so he wouldn't wake Link. "Yeah, I can tell. By the way...the singing was beautiful, I appreciate it."
"Thanks, I love hearing feedback. And don't worry about waking Link, he's a real deep sleeper." Lulu replies. "You gonna take him home now?"
Cloud hesitates for a moment. "Y-Yeah. I'll probably just drop him off and be on my way." Cloud replies, standing up and shaking Link's head. "Hey, nap time is over."

Link doesn't flinch, he's now snoring. Lulu giggles. "How about carrying him? You look strong enough."
"That was my second option." Cloud grunts softly, picking up the boy with ease and propping him on his back. "He drank lots of... Milk, last night. Forgot the name of it, but it was strong. I guess sleep is the best for him right now." Cloud began walking to the exit, waving back at Lulu. "I see you later."

"Okay then, bye!" Lulu waved back.


Link didn't wake up until they were back on the point of the beach where they had started walking.

"Hnnngg... Morning... Huh?" Link looks around, blushing when he saw that Cloud was carrying him.
"Oh, you're awake. I was just about to splash water on your face." Cloud chuckled a little, putting Link back on his feet.

"Ehe... Sorry about that. I fall asleep easily... Oh, we're you taking me somewhere? The only way out of here is jumping the fence over there." Link points to the exit of the beach.

Cloud nods in response to the question. "Thanks for telling me." They both walk to the fence, where Cloud then stands back a bit from it. "Watch this..." He jumped into the air, doing a double front flip and landing on his feet on the other side of the fence, perfectly fine.

Link looks amazed. "Woah... That was cool! All I can do is a backflip..." Link runs backwards and backflips but ends up crashing into Cloud. "Sorry!"

Cloud grunts softly, getting up and helping Link. He brushes off his clothing. "Don't worry about it. I learned some techniques at home, I was part of a government run army. Or at least I thought I was...long story..."
"Sounds interesting... Care to tell me a bit about it on the way back?" Link asks, getting up himself.
"I guess so..." Cloud began, walking with Link.

"Back home, there's this organization called SOLDIER. I joined, and met a hero. He taught me how to do everything. Now... I never forget what he taught me. We were true friends." Cloud starts.
"...I assume something happened to that." Link guesses.
Cloud looks down for a second, then nods. "Yeah. But we both know what I'm capable of... That's why I carry on his legacy."
"That sounds great! I wish I could do that... I must admit I don't have many friends, mostly acquaintances and enemies..." Link replies, shuffling a little closer to Cloud. "And I must also admit, I'm not even great friends with the Zelda of my timeline..." Link bows his head and folds his arms, now a little upset about it. "And my other friends don't recognise me like this..." Link sighs. "My current best friend is a horse."
Cloud shrugs, then looking at Link. "Hey, well its better then having no friends at all, right? I'm your friend too."
Link blushes a little and nods. "I guess I'm too busy exploring the lands to stay in one place for too long, which prevents me from making strong connections for the most part."

Link looks ahead. "Ah, we're almost back. I think we should be in time for lunch."
Cloud looks ahead as well. "Sounds good. And, I understand. The only reason why I have friends, is because of what happened back home. But that's a story for another time."
"Yeah, can't wait to hear it!" Link enters Clock Town followed by Cloud, Link then stops and thinks about something.

"Hmm... I think I may know a way to get to your world from here..."
"Really? That would be interesting. I have no form of transportation as of now." Cloud responds.

Link pulls out his Ocarina. "The song I have been playing is a form of fast travel. I haven't tried it outside of Termina but if you have main... 'Save points' in your world and focus on one of them in your mind, we could be almost immediately warp there..." Link looks up at Cloud. "Want to try?"

Cloud looks down at the Ocarina. "I've never heard of such things, but I'll give it a try. How does the tune go?"
Link can't help but smile. "I'll teach you. Being the teacher is a first for me."

Link starts playing the Ocarina very slowly, mainly so Cloud can watch how his fingers move about the Ocarina. After a few minutes of this, Link stops. "You ready to try?"

"Yeah, I think so." Cloud takes the Ocarina and positions it to his mouth, playing a few loose notes to start. Then, he plays the actual song. He didn't have the best tone while playing it, but he played all the right notes. Suddenly, a pair of wings folds around them, it seems to have surpassed Cloud.
Link quickly clings onto Cloud and shuts his eyes, opening one about 20 seconds later, which was the time it took for them to arrive. "W... Where's this?"
