Link slowly opened his tired eyes. Rubbing and focusing them, he blushed lightly. He didn't forget that Dark was there, he could never do that, he just didn't remember burring himself in Dark's chest. Looking up at the sleeping Hyrulian, Link studied the features of his face. He… looks so much like me and yet… Dark's hair was the colour of midnight which contrasted immensely with his soft pale skin. Link instantaneously remembered the dark, ruby-tinted eyes that he was immediately attracted to. The deep scarlet eyes that were flooded with emotions from the moment they had met.

Link bit his lip averting his gaze from Dark. He glanced around the room, caressed by the pale light from the sunrise's rays. It was still early and the extent of the room remained quite cold. Pulling the blankets over his body, the blonde noticed Dark's arm around his shoulders. Blushing for the second time that morning, Link sunk back into the bed under his thick covers.

"Hn," Dark shifted on the bed. His eyes still closed, he sat up. Rubbing his face and running his fingers though his hair, Dark looked to the pile of blanket lying next to him. "Are you… awake?"

Link nodded slowly. Just seconds before, he had pulled the blanket over his head to cover his reddened face. He pressed his hand to his chest repetitively wishing the hard beating of his heart away. Before Link could calm down, Dark lifted the blanket and crawled underneath it. The bed wasn't very big from the start and there was even less room under the covers. Thankful it was still dark, Link blushed, swallowing hard. Dark's face was just about an inch away from his own.

"What are you doing?"

"Nothing?"

Dark chuckled at Link's nervous and uneasy expression. Even in very low light, the blonde was gorgeous. His fine, golden hair gently complimented the innocent and beautiful cerulean eyes.

Link had long since calmed, his nervous expression left leaving a look of maturity with the slight hint of curiosity. He was now just staring into the scarlet eyes he loves so much.

"Dark…?"

"Link… why did you want me to be near you? Why did you tell the Blue Think you –needed me?"

"Because… I do. There is something about you… that I like. A lot. In your eyes and in your heart. Something made me feel happy when I first say you. And when I had to fight you, I was heartbroken. And when it was time to leave you I couldn't do it. And… and, and…" the Hero of Time choked on his words, tears leaking from is eyes

"Link, I'm sorry. I said something I shouldn't have. I don't understand everything, so I asked too much of you. I'm sorry," Dark was a little frantic mentally scolding himself and noting how delicate Link's emotions were. "Can I tell you something? If you get mad, I'm sorry. And I'll understand if you want me to go away."

"I dont want you to leave me…" Link whispered.

"I think… I love you."
