I-I'm sorry." She cried, not letting go of the demon lord. Ghirahim smiled as he began to rub her back in attempt calm her down. The two stayed like that for a while, as Link cried her heart out.
When Ghirahim could no longer hear the former hero's cries, he looked down at her, Link's puffy red eyes showed the relief she felt. No longer did she have to remain silent, no longer did she have to feel unwanted, or useless. She no longer felt that longing in her heart. The longing that Link had felt the moment Fi reviled her destiny to her. Link thought it was because Zelda was "kidnapped". But, Now that she was in the demon lord's arms, the demon who actually stole her heart in the sky view temple, she felt like nothing could hurt her any longer, and that included herself.
Ghirahim looked at the now spacing out Link. When out of the corner of his eye, he saw a nearly invisible red string connecting to both her and his pinky fingers. He smirked, Ghirahim wasn't lying when he spoke of the tread of fate binding them together, and at first he had thought it was the fact that Link and he were supposed to be enemies, but now he understood.
"Link, what's that on your arm?" Ghirahim asked, noticing the faded scars on both of the skyloftian's forearms running down to her wrists. He felt his sky child tense up in his arms. Building up a wall before one can look in to her past, her emotions. Ghirahim could tell, Link was a self-harmer. He understood why, but it hurt him to know that most of her scars aren't because of her battles on the surface formally known as Hyrule. "Link, "he moved her away from his chest, looking her in the eyes, which were unknowingly threatening to spill over with fresh tears. " I'm not going to judge you dear one, just tell me why you'd take a blade to your beautiful skin." He cooed, kissing her on her forehead.
"..Bullied. Nowhere. No one. Zelda." (I was constantly bullied, had nowhere to go, I had no one but Zelda.) Link said as her voice began to fail her from her yelling earlier. "No one….cared." Ghirahim understood her, how lonely she was when she lived on Hylia's sky island.
" No more, Promise me sky child. No more harming your self. " he said as he cupped her cheek, wiping her tears away as she nodded.
