He gulped and slowly opened the door, trying not to make a sound. "Kalas!" Link called from downstairs. Ugh... Link must have good hearing... Kalas thought. He hoped to go downstairs without being noticed to get something to eat. He had been up in his room for hours and didn't have anything to eat that day.

Kalas walked down the stairs and saw Link sitting and the table eating an apple. "Uhhh... Hey, Link..." Kalas said shakily.

Link stood and stared into Kalas' eyes. "Are you ok?" He asked. "You look pale." The elf reached up to feel Kalas' forehead but the one-wing pulled away. "It's nothing... It's just something that happened to me this morning is making me feel... weird, is all." Kalas smiled oddly and sat down across from where Link was sitting.

"If you're sure..." Link said though he didn't sound convinced. "You want something to eat?" he then asked. "Yeah, I'll have-" Kalas stopped in mid-sentence when Link suddenly sighed deeply and ran his fingers though his hair, while still looking at him.

"Uhhhh... Ummm... I- uhhh..." Kalas stuttered. "Yes?" Link stared expectantly and the other teen. Kalas took in a deep breath to calm himself down. "I-" He stared. "Suddenly... lost my appetite." he concluded.

"But you need to eat something when you're not well!" Link retched his arm across the table and touched Kalas' cheek. Kalas gasped slightly, but didn't pull away. "You need to get better. I don't want you to get worse." the Hero of Time smiled and got up. "I'll make you some soup."

Kalas just stared as Link began to walk about the kitchen get out a pot and food. Suddenly Kalas was on his feet and walking over to Link who had his back turned, chopping up vegetables. Kalas stopped, his chest a few inches from the Hero's back. "Link..." he whispered.

"Hmm?" Link questioned and turned around to look Kalas in the eyes, there faces not even a foot apart. "I was wondering..." Kalas stared and leaned in closer so their bodies where pressing together and Link's back was pushed against the counter.

"Yes?" Link looked a bit alarmed, but he was blushing at the same time. "Do you..." Kalas stopped and looked down unable to look at the elf in the eyes. He was going to ask the question...

"Do you think you can put carrots in the soup?"

Link blinked and started to laugh. "Oh you! What do you think I'm cutting? Silly!" Link chucked and turned to continue what he was doing.

"Thanks Link." the one-wing sighed. "Sorry I leaned on you like that... I was kind of... off balance..." he muttered and walked back to sit at the table. "That's ok, I didn't mind." Link smiled.

Kalas buried his head in his hands. I'm such a fool!

"Lyude, hi!" Link greeted the officer as he came through the door. "Hello Link, Kalas!" Lyude said cheerfully. "Hi..." Kalas grumbled. "Are you ok, Kalas?" asked the Imperialist.

"Kalas hasn't been feeling well today so I'm going to take him through the forest tomorrow, to get some fresh air." Link smiled. Lyude nodded and sat next to Kalas.

Lyude begain to speak. "You'll both be happy to know that Princess Zelda and I have started working on an air ship that can take us home-" Kalas' head shot up. "What?" he cut Lyude off, his eyes wide with alarm. "Although the process will be slow because we have to make the craft by hand." Lyude continued.

Kalas sighed in relief and got up. "I think I'll go to bed early today. I want to get up early tomorrow and be ready to go." He turned to go upstairs and stopped. "Lyude... do you think you'll come with us tomorrow?" the one-wing asked.

The officer shook his head. "No, I'm sorry Kalas but I have an engagement with Princess Zelda tomorrow. I told her I would be at the castle."

"Ok... goodnight..." Kalas stiffly walked up the stairs and into his room. "Just me and Link tomorrow!? I don't know how much longer I can take this!" Kalas ran his fingers though his blue hair.

He heavily sat on his bed deep in thought. "Ever since I met Link I've had these feeling for him, but not for any other guy... I wonder if this is just a passing feeling I'm going though..."

Suddenly the door opened and Lyude walked in. "Link and I have decided to go to bed as well. We all have big days ahead of us tomorrow so we need our rest."

"Yeah..." Kalas agreed and suddenly a crazy idea popped into his head... "Lyude?" Kalas asked and the officer turned around and faced the one-wing.

Kalas got up and walked across the room to where Lyude was standing.

"Lyude would it be too much to ask if I..." Kalas paused and blushed red. "I-if I asked to kiss you?"

Lyude's face turned as crimson as his hair and his breathing became shallow gasps. "W-w-what!?" he stammered, unable to form any other words.

"Y-yeah..." Kalas swallowed hard. "I want to know something..." The Imperial officer's eyes were huge and he looked as though he were just zapped by a Thunder Fish.

Before he could reply Kalas locked his lips with the red-head. The one-wing closed his eyes and deepened the kiss, trying to feel the sensation he felt before.

But there was nothing.

His breath didn't come in gasps, his heart wasn't pounding, his chest didn't hurt...

They both broke away, slightly short of breath. Kalas looked down at the floor, unable to look Lyude in the eye. I shouldn't have done that...

"Kalas..." Lyude began but the other teen placed his hand over the officer's lips. "No Lyude... I'm sorry..." Kalas sighed, "I wanted to see if I would feel the same way if I kissed you, but I don't. I don't understand what I feel..."

"Feel the same way about who?" Lyude asked. Kalas hesitated and looked into Lyude's eyes.

"Link..." Kalas' voice trailed off when the other teen broke the eye contact. "Oh..." Lyude's sounded hurt.

"Lyude I'm so sorry!" Kalas dropped down to his knees. "I'm just so confused! I don't understand!" Kalas' eyes filled with tears as his arms wrapped around Lyude's legs. "I'm sorry!" his tears began to stream down his face and drop into the floor. "Oh, Lyude I'm so sorry!"

Lyude bent down and gently unwrapped Kalas' arms from around his legs. The then embraced Kalas tightly. "It's ok..." he whispered into the other teen's ear.

"I'm sorry..." Kalas sobbed. "I'm sorry..."

"Kalas... It's alright... I'm here for you." Lyude tightened the embrace.

"I'm sorry..." Kalas whispered it over and over.

"I'm... sorry..." the one-wing drifted to sleep, completely exhausted.

"It's alright..." Lyude smiled and cradled the sleeping raven in his arms.
