This one is actually an old idea of mine. I just never got around to finishing it. Which is sad.

Enjoy!


"Link, we can't be back here!" I hissed and tugged on my hand, which was currently in my best friend's grasps.

"Oh, come on! Where is your thirst for adventure! Live a little!" He laughed, though it sounded an awful lot like a cackle, and moved faster down the backstage hallways.

"I have a thirst for adventure, just not for being put in jail!" I yelped as he pulled me behind a nearby post, hiding from the passing band members. Oh my goodness! There goes Majora and Skullkid!

"Shh. We don't want them to see us." He grinned and checked to see if the band members had passed.

"Maybe we should just go before they find us, Link." I was practically begging at this point. "How did you even get us back here, anyways?"

Link just smiled wider. "I have my ways."

Then we were off again. It felt like Link knew the way. I was questioning his sanity as he giggled like a school girl. Before I knew it, we were hiding again. This time the place we hid was smaller, causing our bodies to be pressed together. I swear I was sweating bullets.

"Stay here, Sheik. I need to go see if the way is safe, okay." I grabbed his hand as he tried to leave me. What was I going to do if he left? He seemed to read the question in my eyes. "If I don't come back in... say... fifteen minutes, then I was forced to leave. If that happens, you need to make your way to a guard and say you got lost going to the bathroom. It happens all the time here since the hallways are confusing and there is this one door that gets left open... They will believe you cause you're cute."

He gave me one last look. "Just be safe." And then Link left me.

I checked my phone. 6:17. I would leave at 6:32. I flinched as people passed, probably getting ready for the show. Gods, I can't believe Link brought me to a Double Helix concert. Plus, we were having dinner afterward. At a fancy restaurant. Did this count as a date? Goddesses, let it be a date.

"Hey, woah! Look at this!" I whimpered as hands reached into my hiding place only to pretty much die when I came face to... well, mask with Skullkid. "He is cuuuute! Can we keep him?"

Skullkid was bouncing around Majora, poking and giggling when Majora elbowed him. "I don't know, Skull. What will Fierce say?" They looked at each other, but I couldn't really see their eyes because of the masks they wore. Double Helix was known for their masks. Skullkid wore a horned, skull-ish mask and Majora had a colorful, wide-eyed, creepy spike covered mask. Then there was Fierce Deity...

"What about what I will say?" I looked up to find Fierce Deity's white eyes staring back at me. Oh yeah. Forgot to mention that the whole band wears white-out contacts. It is so cool! As for Fierce's mask. He had a human face with pale skin. Kinda normal right. Well, that's where it ends. His mask had deep red markings across his cheeks and a blue diamond on his forehead. The guy also wore a brilliant white wig and amazingly cool battle armor. Whether it was real or not was debatable. Most thought it was real, me along with them.

"Can we keep this adorable little guy? Please, Oni!" Skull jumped up and down in place, poking Fierce like he did Majora.

"That would be kidnapping, Skull. No, we can't keep him." I watched as Skullkid visibly drooped. "But that doesn't mean we can't invite him to hang out with us."

"Really?! Awesome!" Skull pushed his way through the other band members and grabbed my arm. "Come on! I can show you my drum stick collection and-"

"Woah, slow down there. What if he doesn't want to go?" Majora crossed his arms after he got all of our attention. I gulped as they turned to me.

Skullkid caught my gaze, eyes full of regret. Or at least as much as he could show through the contacts. "You want to come with us, right?"

My throat was suddenly dry. The band wanted to spend time with me before the show... Which started at around 6:45. I checked my phone real quick, counting the time in my decision. 6:34. Link probably got kicked out. I shrugged and nodded, not trusting my voice not to crack.

"Yes! Let's go!" I yelped as Skull dragged me down the hall.


"It was amazing! I got all their autographs and Skullkid even gave me his shirt! Like, he took it off right in front of me and handed me the black tee he had been wearing. Oh my gosh, Link. It was... It was..." I flopped back in the passenger seat of Link's car, practically floating as I told him of the amazing experience. Though, there had been one downfall to the whole thing. I had been unable to watch the concert with Link, the band insisting I have a front row seat.

Link chuckled lightly as he reached over to fasten my seat beat. "Sounds like you had a good time."

"I want to thank you for bringing me, Link. I know that you could have chosen anyone, but you picked me. It... means a lot to me." I sighed and looked away from Link's intense gaze. "We should probably head home."

He smiled softly once more and then started the car. "Yeah, we should."


I glanced over at the boy sleeping in my passenger seat. We hadn't even made it out of the parking lot before he was out like a light. I was glad to have given him so much excitement. Dark and Ravio, my brothers and fellow band members, were all too happy to finally meet the guy I talked about nonstop. I could have killed my twin when he took off his shirt in front of Sheik. But it was okay because Sheik didn't fawn over him like he was a god. Instead, he had a nosebleed. It was adorable. Course... He didn't tell me that. It was a fact that 'Fierce' knew. Not Link. I wonder how long I can keep up the act. Not telling Sheik this huge secret is slowly killing me.

"Hey, Sheik." I poked his cheek and my crush swatted at my hand.

"Five more minutes, Auntie." Sheik turned more towards me and started to snore softly.

I guess I can just take him home and carry him to bed. Maybe I'll stay over. It is pretty late.


I blinked, sunlight shining right in my eyes. It's my own fault for wanting my bed right next to the window. Wait... My bed. I sit up and look around. Sure enough, I'm in my room.

Arms pulled me back down and then wrapped around my waist. "Go back to sleep, Sheik."

My senses were on high alert until I calmed down. Just Link. It's just Link. "Why are you in my bed?"

"Cause we made it back after midnight, so I decided to stay over. Problem?" I shrugged and snuggled back down into the warmth that was Link. He chuckled and pulled me even closer. "I'll take that as a no."


Maybe I'll pick this one back up if no one else does. Maybe. But probably not.

Review. Make my day, yeah.
