*Dog comes and steals stuffed toy, rips them to shreds*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

When Link opened the oak door to his room, he expected the worst. His lime curtains would be aflame with the sofa chair beside it in teensy shreds, the bed would be covered in a certain boy's blood as crimson as the boy's eyes. Withwith the pitiful sight of a little morpha cowering under the bed's frame.

He did not expect his room to be just as it was when he left, except the curtains drawn so it was more dark then light, and the sound of cute soft snoring coming from a small lump in his (thankfully) clean pine green bed sheets. Link sighed in relief and went to check on his sleeping friend.

By the time he was standing next to the sleeping morpha in his bed, his mind was fighting cuteness overload.

Dark was curled up in his silk sheets, the only thing visible was soft silver hair, - which seemed to glow in the dark - two closed ruby eyes, and the points of two hylian ears, albeit an almost black skin color, sticking out of the blankets.

A muffled squeal (thanks to Link's cuteness overload problem) was what awoke Dark from his dreams. He opened his red eyes to peek at his surroundings and found himself in a large bed. Wait, the only time he was allowed in a bed was when...

"NO!" Link watched as his friend flailed in his bed sheets and cowered in the farthest corner. "No! Don't hurt me please I don't want it..." The morpha's voice cracked then faded into a weak whimper at the end. Link hurriedly moved closer to Dark to prove he only wanted to help the boy, but like the time in the corridor this only made Dark scramble the brown eggs faster. (K sorry I meant to say scramble into the corner even more, but when I wrote scrambled I just thought of breakfast and yummy eggs -that's what I get for not eating breakfast)

ANYWAY

Link hurriedly moved closer to Dark to prove he only wanted to help the boy, but like the time in the deserted corridor this only made Dark scramble even further into the corner. He finally gave up after several minutes and decided to wait it out, sky blue eyes still filled with concern as he continued to watch his friend whimper as he curled himself up in a little ball. What was wrong with Dark? What had happened to make him so jumpy? Was it something he did?

Dark sooned calmed down after several minutes. He tried to get his breathing under control as he frantically peeked out of his little ball to see where he was. Except when he lookd up there was no whips or chains. When he looked around there wasn't any hylian soldiers looming over him. All that was here was his friend staring at him, a comfortable distance away, blue eyes practically begging to know if he was okay.

And Dark realized the answer was no. He wasn't okay. He was scared, starved, dehydrated, seperated from his mommy, and he was most definitely not okay. And before he could stop them, the tears behing his eyes that he had held back for so long broke free. And he finally broke down and flung himself into his friend's arms. Into a boy's arms. Into a hylian's arms. But that was okay.

Link's mind blanked out as he found him holding his friend, or rather, Dark holding him. But that was no reason not to embrace the morpha just as tightly. He sat quietly as his friend cried silently into his green shoulder, until there were no more tears of sorrow or fear left to shed. Though Link found t quite difficult as he kept trying to focus on comforting Dark instead of about how cute Dark looked even with tears streaming out of his puffy red eyes. It took awhile for Dark to calm down, it had been several minutes and he had only stopped crying enough to breathe at a steady pace, with the occasional sniff or two. He stopped rocking them back and forth as he heard Dark whisper something into his pointed ear.

"Excuse me," it was said so quietly even with his hylian ears and hearing Link had to take a few seconds to process what Dark had said, but when his brain finally caught up he whispered back just as quietly, "Yeah?"

Link could have sworn he saw Dark blush a light pink as he looked away and whispered "I don't know your name,"

Link barely hesitated before saying "It's Link'"

"Link," Dark repeated after him. He said it several times, each time slower like he was trying to decipher a secret code. Finally he smiled and his eyes lit up with a mischievous glint. "That sounds like a girl's name," he said while grinning,

Link's expression of interest soon went to shock as his jaw dropped to the ground. "No it's not!" He claimed defensively.

"Uh huh," Dark said while noddig vigorously.

"Nuh uh,"

"Uh huh,"

"Nuh - Whoa," Link stopped his argument as he realized he was pretty much yelling at himself. Dark looked exactly like himself! How could he have not realized?! Then he thought back on his little time with Dark and realized this was the first time he's seeing Dark's face completely nothing hiding himself from being seen.

When he met him in the hallway his face had been so swollen and bloody he could have been anyone lying there. Then he was covered in cloth bandages to help heal his cuts and scrapes (which reminded Link he had to ask how that happened in the first place) and when he came in Dark was under the blankets. But now he was almost positive he was looking in a mirror. Sure, Dark's eyes along with his skin and hair color are quite different shades from his blonde and blues, but the features!

"What?" Dark asked, snapping him out of his messy thoughts.

"Oh sorry," Link replied, "we just really look alike,"

"Yeah isn't it cool?!"

Link nodded enthusiastically as he figured it would be easy to get used to, especially when Dark was so excited about it.

"So what do you want to do Dark?"

Dark opened his mouth to reply, but his stomach beat him to it as it let out a hungry growl. He two boys giggled before Link calmed down enough to offer "Why don't we have a picnic? We could go to anywherewe want in Hyrule!"

Obviously he had said the wrong thing because Dark immediately stopped laughing and his smile vanished in thin air. His look turned sullen and glum and the glint in his eyes dissappeared. "Dark..."

"I can't leave the castle grounds," Dark finally explained as he tugged at his glowing collar to show why.

"Oh," Link said quietly. An awkward silence was left after their conversation until Dark's eyes lit up again. "Come on! I know where we could go!" Dark said excitedly.

"Really?!" The enviorment was filled with warmth as both friends perked up, completely oblivious to how short the warmth would last before it turned cold again.

"Shh, I think I hear one coming," and just like Link had predicted a hylian soldier passed the shrub they were hiding behind, the sound of his armour clinking as he walked away. They were currently sneaking past all the guards to Dark's surprise place, Link learned that apparently Dark wasn't supposed to be seen here unless he was doing chores. That was okay though, hey boh liked to think it was a game. "We'd be like ninjas!" Dark had said. They were making their way through a maze made of hedge that Link had navigated through to meet Zelda for the first time.

Dark made a gesture with his hand to signal to Link a guard was coming on his side. Link nodded and they swiftly crept out of the section. There was just one more maze to get through before they would be at the front of the stone castle.

One rock thrown and several steps later they finally found themselves in the small field outside the castle. Link smiled contentedly as he watched Dark laugh as he spinned around and around, faster and faster until he fell onto the grassy groud. (that rhymed!) He giggled as he offered his left hand to Dark, who was so dizzy it took him several tries to grab it. But as Link helped Dark up Dark lost his balance which ended up with both of them on the ground!

"You idiot!" Dark yelled, but he was still smiling and it was hard to look angry when dizzy.

"Who? Me!?" Link asked, playing dumb as he pretended to scan the field to find the 'idiot'.

"Yes you! Thanks to you now I have grass stains on my clothes!" Dark pouted. Link laughed, but it was partly forced as he took a good look at Dark's clothes. They weren't bad, but they weren't the best either.

Dark wore a pair of grey pants with a black t-shirt, but if you looked closer you would realize it wasn't made of good material and probably irritated Dark's skin a lot. The pants stopped around the middle of his shin, they were obviously meant for someone smaller. The shirt looked too tiny for someone Dark's size. There were also tiny holes that were stiched closed, though not by an expert considering they were quite visible. And they needed to be washed, very badly.

"Well come on!" Dark yelled as he grabbed Link's hand and dragged him into the forest. Link watched in sligt envy as Dark navigated throuh the vines and trees like a walk in the park. Sure, Link could do the same in the lost woods, and sure Dark had probably lived here his whole life, but Link found it hard to concentrate on where to go when they were surrounded in darkness. He couldn't see a thing! He looked to Dark to see his secret, and was astonished to see Dark's eyes practically glowing as bright as his hair in the shadows. His thoughts were interrupted as he yelped as he tripped over a rock.

Link closed his eyes and waited for impact, but it was much less painful then he thoughr, comfortable even. Link flushed as he realized the reason was that Dark had caught him and he was currently nestled into Dark. He noticed that Dark had naturally cold skin unlike Link, who always had warm skin. Strange, Dark didn't seem to feel cold. He could just imagine it, warming Dark with his body heat..

No, no such thoughts.

He actually never had them until he had met Dark, but now he found himself thinking he strangest things about Dark. Maybe he was in l-NO. No such thoughts.

But even though he told himself not to, he had to fight the sudden urge to bury himself even further into Dark's chest and neck and to inhale Dark's scent. It smeled so nice... like the pages of a brand new book, so fresh even though-WAIT WHAT WAS HE THINKING?!

"You okay Link?" Dark asked.

"Um, yeah," Link said as he stepped away from Dark (and some strange thoughts).

"Okay, don't get lost we're almost there!" Dark beamed before grabbing Link 's hand with his. He was about to lead Link again but stopped as Link let go of his hand like it was fire. "What's wrong Link?" Dark asked.

Link thought for a second. What was wrong? He would get lost without Dark, so why was he refusing his help?

'Because you liked it' a voice in his head answered, but he shut it out, he had no time for confusig thoughts. Link looked into Dark's glowing red eyes, he could tell Dark was curious as to why he was acting strangely, but he could also see his friend masking a look of hurt beneath. So he just smiled as brigt as possible as he took Dark's hand in his reassuringly. Sparks like electricity ran through his body as their hands connected again, but he shook it away, he wouldn't ruin Dark's fun because he was scared.

He wouldn't hurt Dark because he was too scared to confess his love.
