Loooong chapter. Took a LONG time to type. Ignore any of the spelling mistakes... if I made any. xD
Anyway, enjoy it... :D
Jealous
"Well, do you love Dark?"
"Y-yes," I muttered reluctantly, "I love him... so much." I sat down on the ground, hiding my face in my hands. "I'm so stupid."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of Link. Love gets to us..."
"I hate love. I hate it. Dark and I aren't supposed to be. Men aren't supposed to be with other men. It's not right." I looked up at Dark and he was looking down at me sadly.
"That's not true Link," Dark objected. "You don't hate love. You love it. And I love you."
"I'm so frigging stupid!" I slammed my fist on the ground. "I'm such a stupid kid! I don't want love! I don't want it! I'm the most idiotic Hero that has ever been born! I'm such a stupid – faggot!"
"Link!" Zelda looked at me incredulously. "Don't say that about yourself!"
"I am one though! I'm a stupid faggot..."
"Link..." Dark knelt down beside me, gripping my shoulder tightly. "...Please, don't say that."
"I don't know what to say anymore! I don't know what to do!" I cried.
"You don't have to do anything. It's all down and said. It's fine now, Link," Dark coaxed.
"It's not fine!" I yelled, tears running down my face. "Please are bound to find out! It's going to get out! I can tell!"
"I won't tell anyone, Link," Zelda whispered, "I won't tell a soul."
"Why did this happen to me, Zel? Why? Why am I gay? Why am I the Hero? I never wanted any of this! I just wanted to live a normal life and stay in Ordona with all of my friends. I didn't want to fight monsters. I didn't want scars from battle. I never planned on battling. I never planned on leaving – ever. I didn't plan on meeting either of you. I didn't want to meet you guys. I didn't want to be a wolf. I didn't want to lose a-a... best friend. I didn't want to lose my parents. I didn't want any of this. Why the Hell did the Goddesses choose me? Why? Why me, of all people?"
I stood up, brushing myself off. I looked at the both of them and they both had the same expression. Sadness.
I clenched my jaw, grabbing the cell bars tightly. I pushed my face against the bars and growled, "Have anything to say, princess? Have any idea why I was chosen?"
She shook her head and I turned to Dark.
"How about you?" I snarled.
He shook his head too with his mouth open slightly. He then whispered, "You didn't want to m-meet me?"
I shook my head. "I didn't expect to meet you."
"I wanted to meet you so, so bad. After all of those years of being in your body..."
"It's not my fault you were put there," I grumbled, facing the wall away from Zelda and Dark.
"I'm s-sorry for being created..." he said quietly. I heard a soft whimper and I whirled around quickly. He started crying.
"Don't be," I said quickly. "I didn't mean that. See, I am stupid..." I rubbed my temples, walking towards Dark. I then held my arms out, asking for a hug. "Free hug for an idiot?"
He smiled, wiping the tears off of his face and he wrapped his arms around my neck. I kept my arms around his waist, rocking back and forth slightly.
"Sorry," I whispered. I looked over at Zelda and she was beaming. Maybe she didn't mind that we were together after all? I smiled, feeling a lot better.
"So, Link..." Zelda interrupted out long hug. I pulled away from Dark, rubbing the back of my neck. "About today... with those men."
"Those men were not innocent people! They were criminals!" Dark shouted.
"I believe you," Zelda said calmly.
"... You do?" he asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, I do. Link wouldn't hurt an innocent person and I don't believe you would either."
"Good. So can we go?" Dark asked quickly.
"Dark, did you kill anyone?" Zelda questioned.
"Well, yes. But they weren't innocent."
"What about you, Link? Did you kill anyone?"
"No," I replied, "I hurt a few men though..."
"Then I don't know if Dark is able to go."
"Well, why the Hell not?" Dark asked furiously. I could tell he wanted to leave the cell badly.
"You see, there might be a punishment for killing someone... I'd have to ask Triac."
"Princess! They were bad men. They were no good! They were a threat to people in your kingdom and you're telling me that I'm getting a punishment for doing you some good? And why would your precious Triac be involved in any of this? You're the ruler of this kingdom! Since where was he involved?"
"Well, I-I don't happen to know. But, he is my fiancé and future ruler of Hyrule. I have to obey his orders too."
"Well, that's just fantastic!" Dark said sarcastically, pacing around in a circle. "I've always wanted to get into trouble by doing something right!"
"I'm sorry, Dark and Link. I'll bring Triac down to see what I can do about it."
She pulled up the front of her dress and left the dungeons.
I looked over at Dark and he still looked infuriated.
"I don't like Triac!" he yelled at me.
"I don't like him either, Dark. But we are going to have to deal with him anyway..."
"Damn it! I just want to get the Hell out of here! I don't like being imprisoned! Why don't I just warp us out of here?"
I pondered that statement for a moment and then shook my head. "We can't. It would be rude for Zelda not to know that we left. And I don't want to get us into further trouble."
"Who cares?"
"I do, Dark. I'm not leaving. You can go though."
He sat on the ground, pulling his knees up to his chest and he rested his chin on them. "I'm not going without you, love."
I sat on the floor beside him, wrapping my arm around his shoulder.
I smiled, saying, "Another reason why there is no one like you."
"Hmm?" he murmured, resting his head on my shoulder.
"You love me so much that you would never leave me behind."
He chuckled and kissed my neck lightly. "That's right, Link. I love you too much for you to leave my grasp."
I chuckled too, rubbing his shoulder softly.
"I love you so much, Link," he whispered.
"I love you too, Dark."
He smiled up at me and I bent my neck down, kissing him on his cold lips. He grabbed my hat, pulling it off quickly and he ran his cool fingers through my hair. He crawled on top of me, obviously now taking the more dominant role.
I pulled my lips back and I pushed against his chest.
"St-stop!" I panted, licking my lips. He tasted good.
"What?" he asked.
"Zelda and Triac...!"
"They can wait."
He bent back down, pressing his beautiful lips against mine. Our lips moved together in a messy routine; I couldn't catch up to his pace. I felt his hand slide down my thigh and he slipped his hand under my tunic. He squeezed my length playfully.
"Y-yes..." I moaned quietly, his lips muffling my plea for more. "Wait...!" I shoved at his chest again and he moved back, looking down at me angrily.
"Why do you have to keep interrupting me?" he growled, furrowing his eyebrows.
My ears rose. "Because they are coming back now!" I hissed back, grabbing my hat and throwing it onto my head. "Get off, Dark!"
He pecked me on the lips one last time and he pushed himself off of me. "I wanted to show my love for you – is all."
"I know how much you love me, Dark." I got up, brushing myself off. "And you don't need to show me right now while we're expecting some people at this moment..."
As if on cue, the two of them walked in. Zelda came towards our cell and then followed by her fiancé, Triac. And damn, he was still as handsome as ever. His hair, his eyes, his skin – oh Goddesses. Am I checking him out? I blushed a light pink and turned to Dark. He was eyeing Triac too. I furrowed my eyebrows. Did he find him as breath-taking as I did? Oops. Did I just call Zelda's fiancé breath-taking? Damn it!
Anyway, I was slightly angry at Dark for finding Triac handsome – or did he? I would have to ask him later. And I didn't think I felt angry at Dark. I think I felt... jealous, if he thought Triac was beautiful.
"Hmm, I didn't think I'd ever find you in here, Link," Triac said. Goddesses, his voice was amazing too.
"I-I didn't think I'd find myself in here either," I mumbled, rubbing the back of my head.
I didn't feel like getting angry at him since I now found him a little bit attractive, but if he was to say something rude, I might have retaliated angrily. Since now I knew I liked a man, that's probably why I found Triac attractive, because before, I found him as a slimy bug. Now, he was a little bit cute.
"So, your friend here killed some men?" Triac asked me.
"Ask him yourself," I replied.
"You." Triac pointed at Dark.
"Uh, yeah?" Under Dark's skin, I could definitely see him blushing. I growled faintly.
"You killed some men?" Triac asked Dark.
"Yes. For the safety of Hyrule though. They were a threat," Dark replied.
"You might have to stay here a while."
"What the Hell?" Dark was angry. "What the Hell would I have to stay here for? For doing Hyrule a favour?"
"You murdered some men! You broke a law! That's why you would have to stay!" Triac growled.
"I'm not staying in this Hell-hole of a dungeon. You can't make me!"
"Oh, yes, I can."
"How can you –" He disappeared and then reappeared right beside Triac. "– when I can warp?"
"What in the Hell?" Triac moved back quickly, frightened of Dark. I chuckled quietly.
"Just try and make me stay, pretty-boy," Dark laughed.
"I'll figure out a way," Triac mumbled.
All during this, Zelda stood beside Triac, smiling. Dark warped back beside me.
"Well, this is our farewell. Zelda –" Dark bowed. "– looking as beautiful as ever... as well as you, Prince Triac."
The last thing I saw was Triac's shocked face and Zelda's smiling face as we warped from that cell.
0o0o0o0o0
"I saw you!" I growled angrily.
"You saw me what?" he asked hoarsely.
"You know what I mean..." I grumbled.
"No, actually, I don't..."
"You were checking out Triac!" I hissed.
"What? No, I wasn't..." He rubbed his shoulder softly and gave me a sheepish smile. "Okay, maybe a little..."
"Dark! How could you?"
"I question actually is – how could you?" he said a matter-of-factly.
"Uh, what?" I asked, wide eyed.
"You were too."
"Me too what?"
"You were checking him out too... You were blushing a deep colour of red, Link."
"Damn it. I thought I only turned pink!"
He laughed lightly. "It doesn't matter to me if you think he looks cute. As long as you still love me, I'll be fine."
"Yes, same here."
"He is just something, though. I saw him differently through your eyes the first time we met him. A slimy –"
"– bug," I finished, sighing loudly. "But now I find him –"
"– absolutely handsome."
"Really –"
"– breath-taking too."
"Stop –"
"– finishing your sentences."
"Yes –"
"– please?"
I growled then frowned. "You called him beautiful out loud."
"Yes, so? He is."
"'Yeah, so'? Are you kidding me, Dark? Maybe he got the hint that you are –"
"– gay? So? Who cares? Not my fault that I like men." He sat down on the ground, crossing his legs.
"Neither here," I murmured, sitting down beside him. I ran my hands through the grass, thinking. What if Triac did find out about us? What would he do? "He's going to find out... I can tell."
"Triac? Who cares? I sure as Hell don't – so I'll make him not care as well."
I ripped the grass out of the ground, looking at the deep green blades. Sighing, I threw them over my shoulder.
"I'm afraid..." I said sadly, looking at his dark face.
"Don't be." He smirked. "I got your back. And Triac won't find out. Zelda won't tell."
"And what if she does?" I asked angrily.
"Well, maybe he wouldn't care?" he asked stupidly.
"He obviously will, Dark!"
"What do you find attractive about Triac?" he asked out of the blue.
"W-why are you asking me that?"
"Because I want to know."
"Well, obviously not his personality, but his looks."
"What about his looks?"
"His eyes and skin, his face, his body," I mumbled, blushing a deep red.
"Don't be embarrassed. I like him like that too."
I nodded, still blushing.
"Why do you like me?"
"Many more reasons that Triac!" I sputtered out.
"Ha ha! I know!" he laughed. "But what is the main reason why you like me?" he asked, getting closer in a suggestive way. He leaned against my body, slouching slightly, so he was looking up at me. He gave me a sexy look.
"Uh... you're funny?" I laughed stupidly, trying to move back from Dark's face.
"Think harder, love." He moved up to my eye level and he closed in on my face.
"I – uh... you're –"
I was cut off as his lips smashed against mine. "We never –" Kiss. "– finished what we were –" Kiss. "– doing in that cell." Kiss. Then I pushed him back.
"Could you stop?" I asked, slightly irritated. He grabbed my hands again, pulling my body against his. "Stop."
"Why?" he asked.
"Because I said so!" I pulled my hands out of his grasp. "We never finished talking."
"What now, Link?" he asked, sounding irritated like I was. "More about how sexy Triac is?"
"No," I mumbled, "Not about how sexy he is. Only if you want to though..." I mentally slapped myself for my last sentence.
He laughed loudly, holding his stomach. "Are-are you jealous?"
"Of?"
"Of me checking out and talking about Triac!"
"No, I'm not."
"I can hear it in your voice!" he teased. "You're jealous!"
"I am not," I snarled.
"Admit it."
"No. Because I'm not jealous."
"You are."
"Am not."
"Are too."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Ugh! Dark! I am not!"
I stormed away from him. I walked only a few feet and he was in front of me, walking backwards.
"Are too," he snickered.
"Am not," I growled angrily.
"Are too."
"Am fucking not!"
I ran at him, shoving him at a tree. I pinned him against the hard bark and he cringed slightly and then smiled.
"Are too," he beamed.
"Am friggin' not!" I slapped him across the face and he laughed.
"Are too!"
I slapped him again and he shoved me back, leaping at me. He rammed his tongue down my throat and I coughed a couple of times.
"Are – too..." he panted, pulling back. "Goddesses, I love it when you slap me."
"Why – are you so – persistent, Dark?"
"Because I want – to know."
"Fine! You want to know?" I collapsed on the ground. "I was jealous, okay?"
"I knew it!" He chuckled, falling down beside me. "Tell me exactly why you were jealous!"
"Because you were checking him out! Usually lovers don't check out others while they love someone else!"
"Um... excuse me? It's not like you weren't checking him out or anything," he said sarcastically. "Besides, how could you feel jealous? I didn't feel jealous whatsoever."
"Maybe you don't care that I love you."
"I do so!" he said incredulously. "I care so much!"
"Well then, I have no idea why you weren't jealous," I sighed, falling onto my back. I looked up at the sky and sighed again. "And usually people would get angry when they catch their lover checking someone else out. Were you angry at me at all?"
He shook his head, lying down beside me. He looked up at the slowly moving clouds and said, "I didn't feel angry whatsoever either. I didn't really care. Check anyone out. I don't care. As long as you still love me, I'm fine with you doing whatever."
"Really? I don't feel the same about you doing those things. I'd rather have you checking me out and me alone."
He chuckled, looking at me. His cheek where I slapped him was a little bit darker than the rest of his face.
"I'm sorry for slapping you," I whispered.
"It's fine," he snickered, "It didn't even hurt."
I laughed. "Sure it didn't. It's darker than your skin colour."
"Is it?" He ran his fingers lightly across the spot where I slapped him. "I still didn't feel it. I'm used to the abuse."
"Ganondorf hurt you?"
"All the time. Not enough to kill me though."
"So he hurt you? Like he hurt you in my dream?"
He didn't answer. I looked over; he had his eyes closed and he was biting his bottom lip.
"Dark?" I asked quietly.
"Sorry..." he murmured, eyes still closed.
"For what?"
"For not answering... sorry."
"You don't need to be sorry and you don't need to tell me what happened."
"All he did was hurt me. Th-that's all. I just... don't like talking about it..." He looked over at me and smiled sadly. He let out one slow heave, trying not to cry. One tear fell down his face and he wiped it off. "I hate crying..."
"Don't we all...?" I asked.
"Hold me, love. But don't slap me again."
I laughed quietly but he didn't laugh back. He was being dead serious. "I'm sorry." I inched myself over to his cold body and held him tightly.
He shuddered and let out a low sob.
"If – if G-Ganon ever comes back... d-don't let him get me."
"I won't. I'll kill him again and again."
"He hurt me."
"And you're fine now. You're with me. You're safe."
He nodded into my shoulder and sniffled a couple of times. "I get emotional with y-you," he murmured, looking up at me. "With you only. I've n-never cried with anyone e-else..."
"Sorry?" I said, sounding unsure.
"Don't be. It's nice to shed some tears. I couldn't in front of h-him. He said he would hurt me if I did..."
"I'm sorry. You've been through so much more than I have."
"You lost your best friend. And you se-secretly loved her. How could abuse be worse than that?"
"Don't say that."
He didn't speak again. He snuggled closer, crying silently. No more sobs or sniffles came from him. He was silent much like a ghost. Dark was still shuddering, but no sounds escaped. He wasn't going to break the silence and neither was I.
Dark's shuddering stopped a few minutes later and his breathing was very slow. He was sleeping?
"Dark?" I broke the silence, hating myself at that moment. No reply. He was sleeping. How could he be sleeping now though? It was broad daylight and it usually takes quite a while to get used to the ground.
Maybe he didn't sleep the night before? Maybe he was frightened that I would get hurt or something?
I didn't move. I wanted him to sleep if he was tired. If I did move he would most definitely wake up. Both he and I were fairly light sleepers.
I kissed the top of his head and smiled lightly.
"Love you..."
I just noticed this is my longest chapter yet, lol. xD
So, leave me some reviews, please. :D
