Help

Our secluded spot. Where no one knew where we were together. In Faron. He warped us here.

"Dark, please...!" I cried. "You need to get up!"

I shook his body to try and get him up. His head rolled around limply. He was gone.

"No, no, no. No, Dark. You need to wake up!"

Tears rolled down my face. Why the Hell did I shove him? This was all my fault and he could be screwed over!

He wasn't going to wake up. He was completely unconscious. What was I supposed to do? Damn it. Couldn't go to Castle Town. So, I had to go to Ordona and get help there. And I would end up waking up the whole town coming in on horse-back. Who cared, right? It was all for Dark's well-being.

I set him carefully on the ground and pulled out Ilia's Charm. I called Epona and she came really quickly.

She snorted at me angrily.

"I'm so sorry, girl. I haven't talked to you in a while. I've been busy."

She snorted at me again.

"I need some help, Epona. I hurt Dark. I need to bring him to Ordona and we need to get there quickly. And he's in really bad shape."

She stamped her hooves a couple of times and shook her mane angrily.

"I know you're really mad at me and you don't like Dark, but I need you, girl. I need you."

She looked at me intensely.

"I'm sorry I've been such a jerk but I've got to help him right now. He's really hurt."

She shook her head up and down, nodding at me.

"Thanks so much, girl," I beamed. I bent down, picking up Dark. I carefully set him on the saddle and I jumped on.

She whinnied at me, galloping out of our hidden area quickly.

"Rusl! RUSL!" I hollered, reaching his house.

I jumped off of Epona, falling on my ankle weirdly.

"Ow!" Damn. I was in such a hurry. I hopped on one foot over to Dark and I pulled him off of Epona. I held him tightly to my chest. "Rusl!" Dark weighed too much to hop on one foot, so I limped up Rusl's steps. "RUSL, OPEN UP!"

The door opened slowly and Rusl was standing there, rubbing his eyes sleepily.

"Link?" Rusl called to me in shock.

"Can you let me in?" I asked quickly.

"Yes. Sure." He moved out of the way of the door and I limped indoors. I set Dark carefully on the couch and collapsed down beside him.

"Link?" Colin called from the bed behind me. I heard some quiet footsteps and he appeared in front of me. "Are you okay?"

I nodded, wondering if he could even see me in the darkness.

"Link, what happened?" Rusl asked worriedly.

"I hurt Dark," I moaned quietly. "He needs –"

"Dark? Is he that man?" Colin had cut me off, pointing at my boyfriend.

"Yes, that's Dark, Colin. He's a good friend of mine and I got slightly angry at him and I hurt him."

"Hurt him? Why, Link?"

"We were having an argument."

"And you hurt your friend? I didn't think you hurt anyone, Link. Only the bad guys."

I flinched. Maybe Rusl was right about me being poisoned by Dark. No. I couldn't think that. Dark couldn't be poisoning me... could he?

I cringed, bending down to hold my ankle.

"Are you hurt too, Link? Did Dark hurt you too?" Rusl asked.

I shook my head. "I hurt myself. I fell off of Epona trying to get here quickly."

"Where are both of you hurt?"

"His head and my ankle," I answered warily. Damn it. I was tired, but I couldn't go to sleep until I saw that Dark would be okay. "He'll need some gauze. His head was bleeding really badly."

Rusl nodded, running off behind me. I heard him moving many things around, searching for the gauze. I sighed and Colin hopped onto my lap. He leaned back against my quickly heaving chest.

"Are you worried?" Colin whispered.

"Yes. He's too important to me."

"Just like dad is to me."

I smiled. Rusl was important to me too. If anything happened to him, I would be as devastated as Colin.

"So I get to meet Dark when he gets up?" Colin asked.

"Sure you can." I couldn't say no. I didn't really have a choice. Since Colin had already seen him, I couldn't decline.

"Is he strong like you, Link?"

"He is. I think he is even stronger than I am."

"I didn't even think it was possible!" Colin exclaimed.

I chuckled. "It is. We've fought before and he beat me easily."

"Well, if he's so strong, he'll definitely wake up!"

I beamed. Colin was so positive. That was why I liked him so much.

Rusl came out from behind the couch with some gauze in his hand. He carefully pulled Dark's hat off and set it on the couch beside him.

"Where's Uli?" I asked.

"Sleeping upstairs..."

I nodded and then said, "It's on the back of his head."

He carefully pulled Dark's head forward and gasped. "What the Hell did you do, Link?" Rusl asked hoarsely.

Colin looked up at me, giving me a questioning look.

"I pushed him... is all," I said regretfully. "Damn it. It was so stupid to do. So stupid." I pulled Colin closer to me, shuddering a lot as doing so. I was trying to hold back the tears and it didn't successfully work. A couple of tears rolled out of my eyes. "I hurt him, R-Rusl."

"I know, but he'll be fine." Rusl started wrapping the gauze around Dark's head, loose enough so it wouldn't cut off his circulation and tight enough so it wouldn't fall off. "He'll be fine," Rusl repeated, smiling at me.

I slid out from underneath Colin and grabbed Rusl tightly.

"Thank you so much..." I whispered into his ear.

"You're welcome. And there is no need to cry. He will be fine, Link. Now, I'll get him set up in Colin's bed. Colin can take the couch and you can go sleep at home."

"No. I c-can't leave him!" I said, pulling away from him. I felt myself grow really worried. "I need to stay."

Rusl nodded, turning to Dark. He slid his arms underneath Dark's limp body and he brought him over to Colin's bed. I followed Rusl over and pulled the sheets on the bed back so Dark could sleep under them. Rusl slid Dark under the covers and he pulled the sheets up to Dark's chin.

"Where will you sleep?" Rusl asked me.

"With him."

"With him? In front of Colin?" he whispered harshly. I looked over at Colin and he was giving me the most confused look ever.

"I won't do anything. I promise."

He nodded, turning to Colin. "Come on, kiddo. Let's get to bed."

He picked up Colin and set him on the couch. He grabbed an extra blanket from the cupboard nearby and covered Colin in it.

I smiled and crawled into bed with Dark. I kissed him on the lips and whispered, "I hope you'll be okay." I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him towards my warm body.

"'Night Colin," Rusl whispered.

"Is Link sleeping with Dark tonight?"

"Yes. He cares about Dark so much."

"I can tell."

There were no more words after that. I head the creaking of some footsteps and Rusl was gone.

"G'night Link," Colin whispered from the couch.

"'Night Colin."

The sunlight was really bright underneath my lids. I opened them, trying to ignore the brightness. I stared ahead of me and Dark was still in my arms, his face expressionless. I sighed. I really wanted him to be up. I felt so lonely.

"They're really close friends, aren't they?" Uli's voice broke the silence. I closed my eyes quickly, hoping they didn't catch me up. I wanted to listen to what they were saying – "Was Link really that worried about him?"

Rusl chuckled. "Stupid kid hurt his ankle helping his friend out. Didn't even get it bandaged up. He just jumped into bed with him."

"It's cute. He's just finally made a friend his age. He was a lonely boy before. He only had Ilia."

"Mmm." Rusl was quiet, then spoke again, "Link's getting too attached to him. He won't leave the man's side. It's like he's his pet or something. He wouldn't leave the house last night. He had to stay with his friend."

Uli laughed softly, "It's cute."

"Uli, I need to tell you something –" I could tell that Rusl was being really hesitant. "– about Link and his friend."

Damn it. Was he going to tell her about Dark and me?

"Yeah?"

"Link loves him."

I could have killed him right there, but I stayed quiet, tucking my anger away.

"They – he?" She couldn't speak properly. And where the Hell was Colin during all of this?

"Link fell in love with him. They're gay. That's why Link couldn't leave. He couldn't leave his hurt lover. But I don't think Link is doing too well with him. Link, he's – changed. He's different. More emotional. And he's the one that hurt Dark. He hurt him, Uli. Since when did he hurt people? It's after he met Dark, that's when."

I started to build up a growl in my chest. Wait, I was getting angry to a few simple statements. 'He's different. More emotional.' Oh my, I was different. But different isn't bad, right?

"He can stay with Dark but it's changing him so much. I don't know if I can stand the change in him, Uli. I love Link but how long will my love last – if he's going bad? I don't know if we would be able to stay friends if he stays with Dark. I don't know if we would be able to even talk any more. I couldn't do it. I – wouldn't."

I cringed. My guardian – my dad – wouldn't talk to me? Was Dark changing me that much? Was I going to give up all of my past life for Dark?

"Rusl don't say that. Link wouldn't accept that from you. He loves all of us too much to give us up. And he probably isn't going bad. He's just changing so much because he's a man now. He can make his own decisions now. That's the only change you should see in him."

I heard him collapse onto the couch.

"I'm seeing more, Uli. A lot more."

"Just leave him be. Accept his changes and move on. He's most likely seeing changes in you instead of the other way around."

"How – how am I changing? I haven't changed!" he exclaimed incredulously.

"Shush. Let the boys sleep. And there's one reason why you are changing. You're most likely becoming more protective."

"Am not."

"You most likely are and you don't notice. He is the one noticing."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore," he grumbled. "Let's make lunch?"

Whoa. I slept for that long? Wow, I was becoming a very heavy sleeper.

I stayed quiet while I heard them rummage through their supplies. I would get up when they would start to cook. I opened my eyes again, staring into Dark's blank face. Why don't you just wake up, Dark? I missed your presence. Well, your awake presence...

"Wake up, love." I didn't like pet names yet I said it. I liked it when he called me 'love' though, but he was actually just plain, old Dark to me. Nothing else. Well, he was everything else actually. Everything that I needed. I leaned in, brushing my lips against his cold ones. "Wake up," I murmured into his cool lips. "Why won't you wake up?"

I wondered why Rusl and Uli didn't notice me whispering to Dark. Well, time to get up... I crawled out of bed, faking a yawn and a stretch.

"What time is it?" I asked tiredly. My two guardians turned around in surprise. Did I frighten them?

"About lunch time," Uli finally had said.

"Sorry about sleeping in. I've just been really tired lately." I faked another yawn and rubbed my eyes.

"It's fine, Link," Uli smiled. "So is your friend up yet?"

I turned around, looking at his limp body. I shook my head sadly. "I only wish."

"He's wake up soon," Rusl said reassuringly. "The kid's strong."

I nodded, smiling. I turned around looking back at the couch.

"Colin's out with Ilia at the spring."

I nodded and then said, "Could I go see them?"

"Sure, why are you asking me?" Rusl laughed.

I beamed at him and turned to head outside. They were really good at hiding the fact that they were just talking about someone that was in the same room as them.

"Thanks for helping Dark."

"Welcome, Link," Rusl said.

"Tell me when he's up, please?"

"Yes, yes."


'S cut off a little short, but yeah. At least it's not like - "OMG A CLIFF HANGER. I HATE CHU. UPDATE NAO. GET A LIFE. LEARN HOW TO TYPE. MAKE CHAPTERS LONGER." (Like last chapter, lol. Not that you guys were doing it. xD)

Sooooooooooooo, yep.

Omg. Guess what's sad? My grandma died. D: Some of you readers may already know that, but she did pass away. But that doesn't stop me from typing. e.e I never stop! On one condition - IF MAH INTERNETZ ARE DOWN! Which doesn't happen very often because I clean my PC like crazy. We never get any viruses. xD But, yeah, RIP Grandma. D: I suck at being depressed. Some authors would be like - "Omg. I can't type because my grandma died. I guess I'm stopping for the rest of my life because I'm so depressed and I like to have all of my readers pissed at me because that's fun and typing sucks ass and why do I bother?" LOL. No one would do that - I hope. 0.0 I would actually kill an author if they said that. If something comes in my way, I'll get around it and be back typing in no time. ;D Even though I don't believe anything will get in my way this summer, lol. Maybe during the school year, but I'll pass those things too. xD
