"This was a terrible idea!" scowled a very frustrated wind mage, as his pawed the earthy walls with his hands, unable to see a thing in the inky blackness of the cave.

"You said you wanted to go exploring with me," Link, even in the distance deeper into the cave with his voice carrying in an echo, still sounded hurt.

Vaati finally huffed in exasperation and flopped down on the stony earth, crossing his arms. He wasn't moving an inch until Link decided that this was a ridiculous idea and that they should return home.

Only a few minutes passed, before he heard Link's reluctant footsteps reverberating throughout the cave walls. The small shroud of light cast from Link's small lantern caught Vaati's attention, and he instantly stood, ready to be escorted out of the cave.

But Link didn't seem to see him, as the oil in the lantern was burning fast. Link quickly thrust the lantern about, looking for Vaati.

"Damn it!" Link hissed, as only a dim smolder glowed from the lantern. He stepped forward slowly, the small shadows making it confusing and impossible to find his lilac haired friend.

"I'm right here, Link!" Vaati yelled, who could see Link more clearly. "I'm over - !"

Before he could finish his sentence though, he watched the boy's figure stumble and trip over a loosely placed boulder the size of one of their heads, and Vaati soon felt himself topple to the ground as well.

His forehead was sore, and there was something wet on his mouth...

Vaati drew his hand up to wipe it away, thinking it was only Chu Jelly that had splattered from the ceiling, when his fingers brushed across flesh and a crop of soft hair. Warm breath coming from a pair of nostrils tickled his face.

"Mrrmphh, L-Lrink?" Vaati exclaimed through Link's lips, whos were pressed against his own.

"Shhh..." Link cooed, feeling in the dark clumsily for Vaati's hands, before pinning them to his sides, and hearing a small gasp, with the undertone of a moan, escape Vaati's throat. "Let's enjoy this while we can."
