I don't own the Legend of Zelda

White. All Ghirahim could see was white. 'Is..is this heaven? Am I dead?' He wondered briefly before trying with a lot of effort to sit up before he fell back onto the bed with a groan. Heaven probably doesn't have beds. Everything, especially his chest, seemed to hurt. Things don't usually hurt when you're dead so that must mean...

"You're awake."

"Link? Where am I? What happened?"

Link got up from the visitor's chair in the corner and stood beside Ghirahim's bed, a mixture of worry and relief on his face. "You don't remember anything? You're in hospital, you've been out for a couple of days. We were worried about you."

"Days? Why?" No recollection at all of the other night came to Ghirahim.

"You were stabbed." For the first time Ghirahim noticed that his chest was bandaged. That explained why everything hurt. Link looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry." He said in a small voice.

"Sorry for what? You're not making much sense Link."

"It's my fault." Link had been thinking about it in agony ever since Ghirahim had been stabbed. If only he had just given the man his wallet straight away, or if he had stepped between Ghirahim and the thief then none of this would have happened.

"Did you stab me?"

"Well no but-"

Ghirahim cut him off. "Then it's not your fault. Also where's Fi?"

"She went to get you a change of clothes. She somehow knew you were going to wake up today. Um...so you don't remember anything about that night at all? Not what happened at the bar or anything?" Link tried to sound casual.

"No I remember going to a bar and that's it. That happens when I drink sometimes." He looked suspiciously at Link. "Why? What happened at the bar?"

"Oh..no nothing." Link said quickly, a little disappointed. He had been hoping that Ghirahim would have at lest remembered the kiss, but he told himself to not be so selfish. The important thing right now was that Ghirahim got better.

Ghirahim looked like he wanted to question Link further, but luckily Dark came in the room at that moment with a plastic cup in each hand. He handed one to Link before turning to Ghirahim.

"You're alive Ghira! It's a shame that I'd already organised a fancy tombstone and everything."

"Very funny."

Link nudged him. "Don't. I was just telling Ghirahim about what happened. He doesn't remember."

"Did you tell him about the part where I saved his life?" Dark asked.

"Yeah, right." Ghirahim scoffed.

"Well..actually Dark did. He tried to stop the bleeding and he drove you to the hospital."

"Oh...umm...thanks." Ghirahim said quietly.

Dark cupped a hand around his ear. "Sorry I didn't quite catch that."

"Thank you." Ghirahim said in annoyance

"Don't push your luck, just because you drove...wait a minute, please tell you didn't."

Dark said nothing but his mischievous grin told Ghirahim all he needed to know.

"YOU DROVE MY CAR! IF THERE'S SO MUCH AS ONE SCRATCH..."

"Shh, Ghirahim calm down. We'll get kicked out, your car's fine." Link reassured him.

"Fine." Ghirahim growled.

Dark sat in one of the chairs in the corner and looked around him with interest as he changed the subject. "I haven't been in one of these places in a while. Link do you remember that time you broke my arm?"

"That was your fault! You told me to push you!"

"Excuses, excuses."

"Just let it go, we were seven!"

They were interrupted by Fi as she pushed open the door, with a bag in her hand. "Ghirahim!" She dropped the bag and ran across the room to hug her brother, who winced painfully.

"I'm ok, I'm ok." He said in her ear, as Dark and Link looked at each other awkwardly. Eventually Fi released him and put the bag on his bedside table.

"I got you some clothes."

"Thanks."

"Maybe I should get stabbed." Dark said, as they all looked at him in disbelief. "What? I could have a cool scar and everything!"

"Oh yeah I'm really having the time of my life here." Ghirahim said sarcastically, before muttering. "I hate hospitals."

Fi patted his arm gently. "I know, you won't be here long."

A nurse poked her head through the door. "You're up, that's good." She turned to Fi and the twins. "I'm afraid you'll have to leave. You can come back and see him later."

"Ok, we'll see you later Ghirahim." Link said.

"Yeah and don't worry we'll take good care of Fi." Dark added.

Ghirahim scowled darkly.

"I'll bring you fresh clothes tomorrow." Fi said as she gave him another quick hug.

"Yeah...don't hug me so tight, ok? And I'll probably be out of here tomorrow." He insisted as they left the room while the nurse came in to check him over.

"He'll be ok." Dark reassured them as they walked down the hallway.

"I know, but he really doesn't like places like this." Fi sighed. "Last time he was hurt I had to practically drag him to one."

Link nodded but he wasn't really listening. He was too adsorbed in his own thoughts, which were of course all about Ghirahim. 'Should I tell Ghirahim about what happened or will it just make him angry? Maybe I should wait until he recovers.' Link had finally admitted to himself that he did love Ghirahim and at the bar Ghirahim seemed to feel the same. Still maybe Ghirahim would have regretted it if he could remember it. Just thinking about it made Link blush and he was glad that Fi and Dark were too busy talking to notice. Only time would tell if they would regret it or not.
