The phone was ringing and First Link knew exactly who it was. Dara was ignoring it, still pretending to be asleep, while Link was stroking her hair gently. First Link sighed as he answered the phone. There was no way he could refuse Ryoma when Ryoma made a request to hang out. He was so stubborn. First Link went into a different room as he went to answer the phone.
"Hello?" First Link asked, hating how fate can be so cruel.
"Hey First Link." Ryoma replied, sounding a little too cheerful. "Can I go down there? I have news I should tell you."
"Why not just tell me over the phone?" First Link rolled his eyes. "This is kind of a bad time. I am about to leave for work."
Silence. First Link sighed over the phone, which made Ryoma a little pissed. "What? You told me that you had no work today." Ryoma questioned, becoming suspicious.
"They ran out of cashier's today. They need me there tonight." He lied, he knew Ryoma's bitch mode was starting to kick in. "So just tell me now."
"Why? I am not at a good place to tell you now." Ryoma barked.
"Well, then it will have to wait. I have the late shift so I won't be home until late at night." First Link had the feeling that this lie wasn't going to be good enough for him. "And I really don't want to deal with anyone when I come back wanting to sleep."
"I'll stop by your work then."
First Link swallowed hard. "N-no. They won't allow that."
"Why not?" Ryoma caught his lie. "Perverted Link visits you all the time. Why can't I?"
"Where are you at?" First Link couldn't lie anymore, Ryoma wouldn't believe him even if he was telling the truth.
"I'm right in front of your apartments. Is it a problem to be coming over? What are you hiding?"
"Nothing! Just get over here and tell me." First Link hung up the phone and banged his head against the wall. He had to think of something, and it had to be fast.
Dara pretended to wake up. She looked up at Link and smiled. He smiled back and gave her a small hug. She snuggled him and kissed his neck.
"Did you enjoy your sleep?" Link asked, warmly smiling at her.
Dara nodded and buried her head into his chest. She was so happy. She couldn't believe how things were starting to look up for her. First Link went out of his room and saw that Dara was awake. This made him more nervous to have Ryoma over. If she was asleep, there was a chance for Ryoma to corporate, but now with Dara up, they might start to argue. He whispered a few curse words as he walked up to the couple.
"Hey you two…" First Link couldn't hide them, Dara would just come out of where they would be hiding and demand Ryoma to go. "I need to tell you something.. Um…" They couldn't leave, Ryoma might beat up Link again, and did Dara even know about who did it? It was obvious that Ryoma was the cause of it. "Look, Ryoma is coming over he--" First Link couldn't even finish his sentence.
"What?! Why? He doesn't need to be here while me and Link are here!" She interrupted.
"Dara, please listen." He had to hide them, it was the only way to stay away from the psycho bitch. "Please just go and hide in my room for now, I'll make sure he doesn't stay long, ok?"
Dara was about to protest, but Link kissed her. "Come on Dara, lets listen to First Link." He picked her up and carried her into First Link's room.
Ryoma walked inside the apartment, he knew First Link was hiding something and he wanted to know what it was. He looked around the room, checking to see if there was anything new in the room. Ryoma didn't notice much at first, but then he noticed the first aid kit and had the feeling that Link was brought here.
"So First Link…" Ryoma looked around to find something else, he noticed four new shoes at the front door. "Why is your first aid kit out?"
First Link kept his calm, even though he knew this wasn't going to turn out good. "Well, I had went to the store to buy stuff because I was running out of rubbing alcohol and band aids."
"You bought new shoes too?"
"Huh? Oh, those aren't mine." First Link tried to think of an excuse. "Perverted Link found them in the street and wanted to give them to me."
"Mhm." Ryoma rolled his eyes as he tried to look around for more clues that Link was here. He then remembered something. "I left one of my tennis rackets here, can I go and get it?"
First Link swallowed hard. He knew where he was going. "I doubt its going to be in my room, Ryoma." He tried to joke around. "What are you? Gay for going into my room?"
Ryoma now knew he was hiding something, for First Link's "joke" was just horrible. And if it was good at all, then you could hear Perverted Link laugh even if he was miles away. Ryoma ignored him and headed towards his bedroom. Link heard the foot steps and looked around for a way to escape. Sadly though, there was none. First Link's window didn't have any kind of thing for them to hold onto or stand on. There was no way to hide unless they went into the closet or under the bed, but that was too obvious. Link mumbled curse words to himself as Dara looked at him weird. The sound of the door knob being turned made Dara realize what Link was trying to do. They looked at each other, expecting the bitch to bring hell. Ryoma entered the room and became filled with anger. Not only was his best friend lying to him about what was actually going on, but his best friend had helped the "enemy". He turned to First Link and gave him a deep, long glare.
"Why didn't you tell me about this dumbass being here?" Ryoma hissed, he was beyond pissed. He never thought his best friend would lie to him like this, he never thought that First Link would be friend the bad guy.
"Ryoma, he's not a dumbass." First Link knew that wouldn't help if that was the first thing he told to Ryoma. "He is here because you had to beat the shit out of him. He was in pretty bad shape, I'm surprised you didn't even bother with trying to kill him." Ryoma continued to glare. "Look, Ryoma, just leave him alone, ok? He's not the bad guy as you and Perverted Link keep on saying."
Ryoma wouldn't listen though. He was so stubborn, he was much more stubborn then a horse. Which might be why so many people never liked Ryoma. He is an arrogant, stuck up, stubborn bitch that needed some help. First Link, at first, only became his friend because he felt sorry for him. Some how, he ended up thinking he was cool at times. But First Link would never think of him as "perfect". Like many people, Ryoma had his own little flaws. Ryoma's flaws showed so much though, so it was always impossible for people to see anything good in him. Ryoma's flaw's were showing again, which pissed First Link off a little. He got so annoyed hearing his friend bitch about the stupidest things. This was one of them. He was accusing Link of being a Fierce Deity Link when he didn't even have an actual conversation with him. Ryoma was tempted to beat up Link again, but First Link could sense this. He pulled Ryoma back away from the couple which made him start to struggle and escape from his grip.
"Let go First Link!" Ryoma yelled, still trying to get out.
First Link looked over at the couple. "Well, are you two just going to stand there or are you going to actually go out?"
Link picked up Dara which made her turn extremely red. "Thank you First Link!" He said as he left the building.
Ryoma looked very disappointed, he never thought of his best friend on this planet would actually lie to him. He was mad that First Link housed the couple and helped them, but that wasn't what set him off. Ryoma felt his trust in First Link go down extremely. He was speechless, he was a little heart broken (He's not gay XD Wouldn't you be a little heart broken finding out your best friend lied to you for the first time?), he felt like shit. Ryoma knew he brought this down onto himself, but it still hurt him a lot. Ryoma waited a little bit, so that First Link wouldn't think that he would go after the two, and he quickly got his shoes back on and left the apartment.
First Link didn't bother trying to stop him, he knew, or so he thought, that this would go away quickly and everything would be forgotten. He sighed to himself and sat down on his couch. There hadn't been this much drama in so long, so he wasn't use to all this. He went back to his dull book, hoping to get some kind of enjoyment out of it.
Link's body was killing him still. His bruises and sprained ankle weren't helping him at all, they still ached and were begging for him to stop moving around so much. Link didn't want to listen though. Dara couldn't really sense this, because she was still flustered. Link ignored his aching pain, as if it didn't exist.
"So… Are we still on for today?" Link asked, as he walked down the sidewalk.
"Are you sure its ok?" She asked worried. "I don't want to get you into worse pain."
Link managed to fake a smile. "Yep! Where would you like to go out to eat?"
Dara didn't buy it though, she could now tell he was in pain. She managed to struggle herself out of his arms, much to her dismay, and put her hands on her hips. "Why didn't you tell me that you were in pain?" She sounded a little hurt.
Link kissed her lips gently and pulled her back into his grip. "I wanted to go on a date with you.." He whispered, trying to keep his cool as he was becoming embarrassed.
"Oh.." Dara turned a dark red, she didn't know that he was intending this to be a date. He made her heart beat faster in her chest. But Dara had to snap out of her embarrassment, she couldn't allow him to go out in a state like this. "We can't go though Link.. I really want to.. But, your hurt and I don't think it would be that fun if you were hurt." She gave him a small kiss and smiled. "How about you come over to my place and we can eat there?"
Link nodded and took her hand. She rested her head on his arm as they walked back to her place. The walk was peaceful, even though it was filled with silence. They had pleasant time together, and they expected it to stay that way.
Well, things don't turn out how you want them to.
