He didn't come to bed last night, I stayed awake waiting for him but he never appeared. I felt tears gliding down my cheeks, so full of emotion I could no longer contain them. Where was he and why did he not come to bed? Why did I feel so miserable without him, scared that I'd hurt him and worried that he was in danger? Clenching the cold sheets that were around me, I tore them back and scurried out the room in search of him.
I searched the house all over, but there was no sign of him; therefore leading me to the conclusion that he must be out in the grounds somewhere, I longed to go out there and search for him but he had made me swear not to leave the mansion under any circumstances, and if he thought I was trying to escape and leave him, he would get angry and upset and that would just lead to further pain and torment on my behalf. Blinking back more tears, I went into the library. This seemed to be the room in which he spent most of his time, so I grabbed a book and climbed into a big, cozy armchair which had a blanket draped over it. Wrapping the blanket around me, I snuggled into the chair becoming enveloped in his soft, sweet scent.
I felt someone shaking my shoulder and heard them whispering my name. Groggily I opened my eyes and looked up into the beautiful, concerned eyes of Ghirahim. "Why are you sleeping in my chair Skychild?" I gulped but he didn't sound angry so I cleared my throat and replied "I was worried about you, so I came in here because I know you always come in here and I wanted to be close to you." My last words slightly softer than the others but he still heard them. In one simple yet graceful movement he scooped me into his arms, sat down in the chair and pulled me into his lap. I pressed my face into his body and silently let my tears fall, hoping he wouldn't hear or feel them but he did. "Don't cry my sweet, sweet Link, I will never leave you again, I promise." He softly murmered and pressed a gentle kiss on my forehead. After that he let me sleep in his arms, and he slept with the knowledge that I cared about him, more than he had ever possibly imagined.
