Third P POV
A loud roar pierced through the air enough strength to cause the ground below to shake.
The snow crunched below Dark and Link's boots as they ran far away gasping for breath. Behind them, a sphere of fire manifested surrounding the angry lynel.
Link faced Dark sending him a quick nod. The taller male understood and held his shield up targeting the foe before them.
The lynel charged towards Dark at full speed sending patches of snow flying. Dark rolled to the side and climbed aboard the exhausted lynel slashing away with his blade. The lynel struggled underneath Dark attempting to throw him off.
At last, it sent Dark flying across the field creating a crater where the male landed. Link wanted to run towards the fallen male but the lynel was already turning around to face him.
He got into his battle stance targeting it and walked towards it. The lynel grabbed hold of its weapon and swung it at the blond. Link swiftly dodged performing a backflip. Time seemed to freeze earning him an opening to unleash a flurry of attacks.
Dark stood up dazed, as his eyes began to focused he noticed Link dodged the attack until disappearing into a blur.
"Huh, that's strange," thought Dark.
He thought he must've still be dazed and rubbed his eyes hoping they would fix his sight. Dark opened his eyes once again to see Link back running towards him as the lynel roared again. Suddenly his head felt like it was being pierced by a bunch of nails causing him an excruciating amount of pain. He shook the pain away and stared at the running blond.
"Hey..." panted Link.
"You ok? That must've hurt, here" Link stretched his arm out. Dark grabbed his hand lifting himself up.
"Thanks, but I'm ok just a bit dizzy. C'mon let's go teach this beast who's boss!"
Dark smiled at Link and ran towards the lynel quickly switching to his bow aiming at the lynels head.
He released his grip from the arrow and watched as the beast fell to its knees. Switching back to his sword Dark twirled hitting his surroundings.
The beast got up and began inhaling the air preparing for its next move. It began repeatedly releasing balls of flames at Link. Luckily Link had his shield up and blocked all the attacks.
Phew.
He hoped to fight the lynel without getting Link get hurt as much as possible. He didn't care if he got hurt along as his precious Link didn't.
The lynel ran towards Link readying itself along the way, as the lynel swung its weapon Link perfectly parried it with his shield. Link proceeded to swipe at the beast with his sword until it broke.
Shit.
Somehow Link always had a tendency to break his weapons. Was he perhaps too strong or did he not take good care of it that they constantly break?
Link hadn't yet noticed that Dark was behind the lynel ready to perform a sneak strike. The lynel collapsed until disappearing into thin air dropping its remains.
Dark let out a triumphant laugh and patted Link's head making the blond jump, "Good job! Did you get hurt at all?"
Link looked up and smiled, "Nope I'm all good. I'm more concerned about you, are you ok?"
"I'd be better if you kiss me~" replied Dark pointing his finger at his lips. Link grumbled and kissed him feeling Dark smile underneath.
"There!" Muttered Link under his breath as a dark blush spread across his face.
"Now let's continue. We still have a long way to go after we go to the stable. And let's go the right way this time"
"Hey don't blame me for this! You're the one who carries the map!" Retorted Dark as he collected the lynels remainings.
"Eh- you do have a point..." Link's ears drooped making Dark frown. Dark nipped Link's ear and hung his arm across the blond's shoulder.
"EEP-!"
"Focus. Let's get going," whispered Dark into Link's ear. Link began walking shaking all his thoughts away and focusing on his current goal.
At last, they finally reached their destination Snowfield Stable even after getting lost countless times.
"Finally!" Dark growled as he caught sight of the stable. Dark wasted no time and began sprinting towards the stable.
"Wait up!" Gasped Link in between breaths. Dark stopped and sat down on his haunches.
"Here get on. I'll carry you over there" Link wavered for a second but obediently climbed on Dark's back.
"I'm warning you, don't try anything funny," hissed Link as he felt Dark's hands grab his thighs.
"I'll try not to~" purred Dark as he got up and began walking. Link's face grew red as he felt Dark's hands tighten their grip.
"Stop!" Growled Link into Dark's ear.
"Alright, Alright, calm down princess," replied Dark as he loosened his grip. Link rested his head on top of Dark's and yawned softly.
"Hurry up, I'm tired," demanded the blond.
"Your wish is my command, your majesty~" Link bit his lip as he heard the other male call him princess again.
Does this mean he'll never be top? What? What was he thinking how could such thoughts exist in his mind!?
Link mentally hit himself at his stupidity. His heartfelt as if it was about to jump out of his rib cage as he imagined the darker male below him.
Link was snapped out of his sinful imagination as Dark spoke, "We're here! At last!" Link smiled and tapped Dark's shoulder advising him to let him down.
"Oh, right! Sorry love," Dark lowered himself allowing for Link to get off.
"Thanks," replied Link as he kissed Dark's cheek making the other male blush madly.
Dark's eyes widened at the small gesture. His heart pounded against his chest ready to explode into a million pieces.
What seemed to feel like butterflies fluttered around his stomach sending him chills. Dark grasped his chest tight hoping to stop his heart from erupting like a volcano. His heart slowed down and he stood up flustered.
Link was currently getting them a place to sleep as he talked to the stable manager.
Dark and Link's eyes met momentarily for what seemed to feel like hours. Hours Dark hoped would last longer. Link looked away and continued talking to the manager.
As Dark began walking in he noticed Link's stuff on top of an empty bed. Link returned and waved Dark over to the bed.
"Hey, I was only able to get us one bed. Is that ok with you?"
"Of course why wouldn't I?"
"It's ok I can sleep on the floor- wait what you're ok with it!?"
"You heard me~" smirked Dark and continued.
"I wouldn't mind wrapping my arms around your naked body and-" Link's face reddened and cut the male off, "O-OK, OK I get the point now please stop"
"Please don't do that though," whispered Link.
"Can't promise anything," chuckled Dark as he nuzzled Link.
"Come on let's get some rest. It's been a long day..."
Dark took off his jacket along with his boots, sat down, slipped his belongings under the bed, and slid inside the warm stable covers patting at the empty space beside him for Link to lay down.
The blond complied taking his hood and boots off then slipped inside back against the darker male. Both males then drifted into sleep allowing the darkness to take over.
Link's POV
I woke up to the feeling of someone's arms around me, as I turned around I saw Dark peacefully sleeping with his arms around my waist.
He looked cute while sleeping. Like a small kitten, my eyes softened at the sight. His hair was messy and all over the place yet It made him look even more adorable.
I smiled kissing him on the forehead causing him to stir a bit. Dark let out a small noise as I tried to get up. The farthest I could go with Dark's arms still wrapped around me was sitting up.
"Don't go..." muttered Dark as his legs wrapped around mines into a knot.
I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and yawned as I pet Dark's head. It didn't take long for Dark to decided to wake up.
"Good morning," I said letting a small smile spread across my face.
"Morning," replied the half-awake male sitting up releasing his arms around me. He let out a small yawn and rubbed his eyes hoping to rid him of the sleep.
"How did you sleep," I asked the tired male.
"Better than ever with you beside me~" purred Dark sending me a small wink. I playfully punched him and got up, as soon as I did he clung onto my back weighing me down a bit.
"Yes, Dark?"
"Can you pass me my boots and jacket?" I nodded and looked around for the male's jacket finally finding it laying across the wooden floor.
Passing Dark his jacket and shoes I advised him I'll be going to prepare some food. He nodded and proceeded to put on his jacket and boots.
I went out and made some actually decent food from the materials we collected along the way. My mouth watered as I prepared Dark a Hearty Meat and Mushroom Skewer and made Spicy Sautéed Peppers for myself.
Pleased with my work I headed back inside each plate in one hand. Dark's eyes glowed as he stared at each plate and a small drop of saliva escaped his lips.
"Here you go," I said as I handed Dark his plate, his eyes sparkled as he stared down at his food.
Immediately, he began feasting on the meal savoring every bite. I sat down next to his plate in hand and began eating mine as well.
Dark kissed my cheek and said, "Thank you! Here try some it's amazing!"
Dark got a piece of his food with his fork and placed it in front of my mouth. I opened my mouth and bit the food off the fork. An explosion of flavors entered my mouth and I craved for more.
I pointed towards my mouth and stared at dark with pleading eyes. He sighed a small growl escaping his throat and got another piece of food putting it inside my mouth.
I savored the taste once more hoping it would sit longer, but sadly it faded away. I frowned and stared down at my empty plate.
Why did my snowquill armor have to rip apart!? If it didn't I wouldn't need this cold-resistant food and could be enjoying the food Dark's eating.
Dark finished his food and licked his lips, "Ah, so good! You make the best food Link"
"Thanks, I guess...if only I could enjoy the taste as you did," I replied coldly envying Dark. I sat up and began gathering my and Dark's belongings preparing to head out once again.
This time I would bring along my horse I wouldn't want to make the same mistake again.
Dark followed behind me towards the front stable while I prepared the papers to take my beautiful chestnut stallion, Epona. It didn't take long to do so, which was good, time was precious right now.
I gave Epona a quick snack and began placing mine and Dark's belongings on her. I got on top of Epona occupying the front row while Dark sat behind me.
Epona began sprinting across the snow as I kicked her softly on the side gently soothing her afterward.
We headed towards Hyrule ridge going around the Forgotten Temple and stopping at Serenne Stable to sleep.
Overall the trip was going well apart from the constant attacks of the bokoblins and moblins. They were such a nuisance to deal with.
Dark still kept trying to get under my pants whenever he could and still got flustered whenever I teased him.
Who knew a broad cocky guy could also be soft and bashful? I find it adorable when he gets flustered it sends my heart leaping through my body.
At last, we reached the new and improved Hyrule castle.
