"Hey!," Ghirahim gasped, what did you do that for. "They didn't seem very happy in there," I quietly said watching the butterflies fly higher and higher into the sky. The pale demon closed his eyes as a surge of wind ruffled his hair. "I know how it feels. How it feels to become a caged butterfly trapped in a bottle for ones entertainment." I turned to him. "Ghira?" He opened his eyes reflecting the world upon his black orbs. "For I've felt it more than enough."
Link's pov-
Fluffy clouds shifted overhead, burying the sun in a soft white sheet. I lay on the ground, my hand raised reaching towards the sky. How I long to be back in Skyloft with Zelda and the others. How I long to be back in the knight academy dozing off during class only to be awakened by a smack on the shoulder by Professor Owlan's ruler. My lips curved upward as I remembered the joyful carefree life I lived back in the sky. However, I can't go back there. Not now. Not now when I'm dating Ghirahim. Goddesses!, I can only imagine the looks on their faces. Especially Zelda. I sighed and turned over bringing my hand back towards the ground. In fact, I don't know how I'll ever face her again.
I sighed and walked towards my pouch, checking for any missing items. I really need to keep an eye on my pouch from now on, especially now that Ghirahim know about the things in it. I heard footsteps in the distance and turned around waiting for Ghirahim to show up and do that creepy tongue thing he still does. 5, 4, 3, 2...And here we go. Ghirahim teleported behind me and grasped my shoulders. "Did you miss me?," he asked extending his tongue over my neck. "Get off," I yelled irritated while pushing his hands off my shoulder. He chuckled and sat down pulling me with him. "Gh-Ghirahim!," I exclaimed while falling onto the soft grass, wet with last night's rain. "Why did you do that?," I asked pulling myself to a proper sitting position. He smirked and grabbed my chin with his thumb and index finger. "Is it so wrong to sit with my boyfriend?" I blushed and turned away, my face hot with embarassment. Ghirahim's expression changed to a more serious expression. "I also wanted to talk with you for a while."
Ghirahim's pov-
"I also wanted to talk with you for while." Link tilted his head. "About what?," he asked curiosity spreading across his face. I squinted my eyes at the light blue sky as a surge of wind caressed my pale skin. "Somethings been bothering you lately." The Skychild looked surprised, probably not expecting me to show compassion towards him or anything else really. He turned towards me and gave me a fake smile. "I'm fine Ghirahim, I always handle things on my own so theres nothing you need to worry about." I locked gazes with the boy and leaned closer to him. He tilted his head. "What are you doi-" I cut him off with a long kiss. He blushed and fell onto the grass underneath him. "Gh-Ghirahim." I grasped his hand in mine and held it to my chest. "I'm just like you Link. I was raised to keep everything to myself. All my regrets and desires. All of it. But," I squeezed his hand tighter and smiled, "Your not alone anymore. So tell me everything, Skychild." He pulled himself to a sitting position once again. "Fine, I'll tell you." All of a sudden, he buried his face in his hands and started crying. "Why did I have to be the goddesses chosen one? Why not someone stronger than me? Why couldn't I have had a normal life? Why did fate have to ruin my childhood? He removed his hands from his face and clutched his chest. "It hurts Ghirahim. I've been alone for so long." I hugged him and kissed his head. "I'm here for you now." He returned the hug. "And what'll happen if I go back to skyloft? What will Zelda think of me now that we're dating." I hugged him tighter. If she doesn't except you for who you are than she's not being a good friend." He leaned into the hug, his face cold and damp with tears. "Thanks, Ghira."
Link and I sat in silence for what seemed like forever. The sun continued to move in the sky, as if climbing an invisible latter stretching all across the world. Finally, Link turned to me. "By the way Ghirahim. That was my first kiss." I smiled and sighed. "Your so innocent you haven't even had your first kiss yet." He blushed and looked away. "Well, I've missed out on a lot of things because of-" I cut him off and kissed him again. "Ghira!," he exclaimed burying his face in his hands. I chuckled and smiled. "Second kiss." He mumbled something under his breath and turned away. "Anyways Skychild." Link looked at me, his aqua blue eyes sparkling in the sunlight. "We have to figure out what to do for the future." "What do you mean?, he asked leaning closer to me. "I mean, we can't just stay like this our entire lives." He furrowed his brow, "I don't see what the problem is." I sighed and locked gazes with him. "I mean, what if there's some kind of danger still lurking in the surface?" Link nodded his head in understandment. "I see what you mean. After all, wherever there is light, there is always darkness."
Yo! Sorry I uploaded this a day late, I usually upload every two days. Someone asked if Link and Ghirahim were going to go on some kind of mission together and the answer is yes! Up until now, I've been posting these chapters just to show how Link and Ghirahim's bond was growing stronger but now I'll have to think of some kind of mission for them to go on. Well I'm sure you want to get on with your day so see you later wonderful people!
