Oh hello again, FanFiction. ;_; I've been gone for a while, mostly enjoy long breaks and visiting LiveJournal. Here is practically the last chapter. The next will be the epilogue.


Again

"Wait!" I suddenly exclaimed before we had even left the castle's courtyard. "We have to grab the Master Sword!"

"Oh, yes, course," Dark chuckled. "Don't want it falling into the wrong hands."

"S-so..." I started cautiously as we began to head back towards the castle, "I was wondering... well, if you wanted to meet my son."

"Ah," Dark said slowly. "I heard about that. He is yours then?" He sounded a bit upset. "Or are you joking?"

"No, I'm not," I muttered and cleared my throat awkwardly.

Dark also cleared his throat. "How old is he?"

"Seven, he'd be."

"Oh, my..." Dark trailed off.

"Er, he can come with us... if you wish for him to."

"Not yet," he stated surely. "I don't think I would be ready." He fiddled with the front of his tunic.

I smiled weakly, pulling open the doors again. "Okay. Then we'll just meet with him, all right?"

He nodded once.

In the castle, Zelda and Flade were still standing in the entrance room along with Triac now. Triac was holding the Master Sword, but not by the handle. His fingers were carefully holding the strap that hung over the front of my chest.

The three of them looked at Dark and I, Triac's face remaining completely serious. We moved closer to them and I started speaking, breaking the silence, "Zelda... Dark wanted to meet Flade."

She nodded silently and Flade looked up at me. He quickly reached the two of us and he grabbed the bottom of my tunic tightly. "What's his name?" he asked, looking up at my face, and then his blue orbs carefully travelled over towards Dark's red eyes.

Triac had silently leaned forward, handing me my sword as I answered him, "He's Dark." I nodded at Triac and swung the sword back over my shoulder. He nodded back, his face twisting in slight anger and he stayed very close to Zelda.

I kept my eyes more so on Triac as Flade spoke to me. "Are you two married like mom and dad are?" Flade questioned me. I saw Triac's face get slightly cockier at the word 'dad'.

I narrowed my eyes at him in particular. "No, we're just in love." I then looked back down at Flade and smiled at him reluctantly.

I looked back up at Triac and he had turned away, strutting from the room entirely.

"How come you look so much like Dark, Link?" Flade questioned slowly, his gaze glued to Dark's face. Dark was smiling down at Flade in silence.

"It's because that's how he was supposed to look. As for now though, Flade, we must depart. I don't usually visit the castle often, but I can come by to visit every once in a while." I didn't want to come off as mean; I was just excited to leave and be with Dark by myself.

He gave me an upset look. "Okay," he allowed. "One day I'm going to come out of the castle and live with you for a while!"

"All right," I laughed and he hugged me, so I hugged him back.

He then suddenly moved towards Dark and pulled on the bottom of his tunic. Dark bent down towards Flade, smiling slightly. Flade then said to him, "You have to take good care of Link! And you can't hurt him or let anyone hurt him! Okay?"

Zelda giggled and I looked to her face, smiling crookedly.

"I will, I promise on my heart and soul, little Flade. I have always kept a close eye on him." Dark winked at Flade and then the boy hugged Dark tightly too. He had almost lost his balance but hugged Flade back. He stood close by me once again and Flade ran back to Zelda, clutching at her dress skirt tightly.

"Time to go then, love?" Dark sent a dashing smile in my direction and I sniggered softly. "How about that hair trim now?" He threw an arm around my shoulder playfully and I nodded.

Looking back to Flade, I smiled. "Okay, well, we'll be back."

"I'll see you soon, Link!"

Getting all of my hair cut off was like releasing a lot of weight off of my shoulders. Almost literally, I should confirm. We had found a hair dressers parlour in a shady part of town and we were relieved to see that the inside of the store was, well, not too shady. Pleasant, actually. The style of my hair was cut like Dark's because he had been keeping his at a short length like I had always had it during my most dangerous parts in travelling.

It had felt like an eternity of being free again. It practically was. And when walking around Castle Town, I was surprised at how many people had known it was me out of jail. I mustn't have changed too much if they knew it was me... or maybe it was my green tunic... Who cared anyway? I was happy enough to realise people had cared to see me back and free once more. It was nice being shouted praises and congratulatory words at.

I had a grin stuck to my face almost all day. It was Dark who finally suggested that we should get out of the castle area and trek out into Hyrule on our own. We wandered the Lanayru Province.

"I think you should stay to myself before we announce our arrival back in Ordona." Dark stated.

With a small smile on my face, I looked up from my boots to his face. "Sure," I agreed simply. I didn't really even want to go back to Ordon so soon. I'd rather stay with Dark before we had any party or something.

"All right," he grinned widely and wrapped an arm around my shoulder, pulling me close. I laughed lowly and rested my head against his as we leisurely continued to wander around Lanayru.

When it was nearing sunset, Dark had warped us to Hylia to watch the sun set over the water. Sitting on grass right in front of the cannon, we gazed at the setting sun, linked arm in arm. When it began to get even darker, the sky almost completely blue, Dark's lips pulled up into a sharp grin and he rolled over on top of me.

"Since it's your first day baaack," he said lowly and carefully, words melting off his tongue and into my ears. Leaning back on my elbows, my ears rose as I listened to him cautiously. "I was wondering... if you'd like a little present."

"Mmm, and what would that be, Dark?" I questioned, a smirk lingering in my voice.

He smiled a bit more softly, stroking the side of my face. "Want to head back to the inn?"

I groaned slightly, moving my elbows more comfortably. "Will he remember both you and me?"

Dark nodded. "Well, how could he not? Everyone in Castle Town had something to voice of your arrival."

"All right. Take us there."

And of course, the owner of the inn recognised us right away, automatically leading us upstairs and back into our old two rooms. Hmm, funny he'd remember the exact rooms. Smiling at us, he departed back for downstairs, the stairs squeaking underneath his hefty body.

Smiling at Dark in the dim hallway light, I opened my door and gestured inside, my smile growing wider by the second. He slid by me stealthily and I followed him into the room, turning to shut the door quickly. Suddenly, I was pressed up against the wall, my wrists pinned and my lips covered with his. I let out a small laugh under his mouth and kissed back slowly, enjoying his cool skin.

"Ohhh, have you gotten more handsome or is that just me?" Dark let out a heaving sigh as he pulled away from me to inspect my face.

I winked at him. "I believe I have."

Dark let out a sexy growl, pulled me over towards the bed, and toppled down on top of me, placing another heavy kiss upon my lips. I squirmed slightly underneath his weight and pulled myself back onto the bed, resting my head on the pillow. I smiled softly up at him and he moved his face back from mine to give me another small inspection.

He then gave me a sad smile. "I've missed you so much, love," he whispered and he caressed the side of my face. "I love you, Link."

I melted at his words. "Dark, I love you too," I managed out in a weak manner.

He suddenly moved back a bit and sat up, while still kneeling over me. I saw him rummaging through his Pocket of Holding. "See..." he started slowly. He groaned a bit, sticking his hand in a little further. "I was given this..." He finally yanked out a small bottle. He tapped at it with his long nails. "... by a woman that owned a strange shop. I had gone travelling actually for a while, while you were in prison. You find some really strange things in the outskirts of Hyrule."

"Hmm, what is it?" I cocked an eyebrow at the shiny, clear bottle in his hands.

He chuckled. "Lubrication."

I cleared my throat uneasily. "Ah. Well, this'll help." I smiled weakly. "Is it okay? Because you said you had found it in a strange shop. You never know what you can find in those sorts of places..."

"Yes, it's all right. I've used it already," he stated, no awkward pauses in his speech.

"Oh," was all I said. I flashed him another feeble smile. "By yourself?"

"Of course by myself," he scoffed. "There's no one else I have been with within the last several years."

I grinned truthfully at him. I liked hearing him say that.

"So, can we begin?" He smirked at me, showing his white, doggish teeth.

I gestured a delicate hand between us, a smile lingering on my face.

And so it began. I had felt like being seventeen all over again, hormones raging through my body as I gazed up at Dark. I pulled down my tights a bit and when Dark noticed me struggling with him over top, he yanked them down for me. I gasped at the cool air of winter harshly biting at my thighs. It was to be expected, I suppose. I remembered a few years ago when it was winter in here... it was even as cold as it was back then.

"Mmm, before any intrusion is made..." Dark purred, setting the lube down on the sheets and running his right hand over my arm. "... can I peek down here?" I felt his cold fingers touching along the insides of my thighs until his hand suddenly grasped at my member. I allowed out a small squeak, my body not being used to his cold touches anymore. I would be soon though, seeing as I would never be heading back to that dungeon... ever again.

Stroking the skin lightly along my length, I already felt myself hardening. Oh, I missed this by Dark too much. With a mighty smirk on his face, he suddenly ducked underneath my tunic and I shrieked, trying to quiet my voice after that by covering my mouth with my hand. I felt his skilled tongue running along my semi-flaccid shaft and I just lost it with excitement.

"Ohhh, Dark! Dark!" I murmured repeatedly.

While he was working on me, he must have been working with himself because when he pulled his face out from underneath my tunic skirt, I looked down at his legs and saw his hardened manhood protruding through his tights. He suddenly tugged them down also, and I eyed him eagerly. Smiling slightly, he reached over me and grabbed the lubrication near my hip and I watched as he began to place it on his member.

"So, it does work? This will be more pleasurable?" I questioned awkwardly, seeing as I never had used lube before.

"Yes, it works. Using it on myself feels much better... even better than... well, my spit," he replied, scrunching his nose up in disgust. "You'll feel a lot better, too, for certain, love."

I smiled back warily at him and he began to carefully place the liquid around my hole, placing one finger in and then another. I was a lot smaller than I was years back so there was slight discomfort down below as he did this. I moaned in a huff and repositioned myself; so did he. Now leaning over my face, he grinned.

"Are you ready?" Dark questioned. It was a simple question which was answered with a simple, silent nod.

Instant stretching and slight pain was emitted, so I let out a little cry, latching onto Dark's shoulders. Like he said though, everything was smoother with the lubrication. He started slowly at first, barely inching in and out, just trying to stretch me even more. Everything would feel better soon and I knew it would, because it always had. Even back when Dark and I first began getting intimate, it always felt better after the first bit of intercourse.

And it did begin to feel better. Dark picked up the pace, allowing out little groans every time he pushed in and then pulled back out.

"Mmm, D-Dark!" I shouted, hiding my face into his shirt. I wrapped my legs more tightly around his hips, pulling him deeper inside of me. "Yes, yes... ohhh, please, Dark... please, please..."

"Link, I love you," Dark smiled, brushing locks of my newly cut hair from my face. He grinned wider and I smiled weakly, a little blush protruding my cheeks.

"I-I love you too."

He finished himself off a little bit later, came inside of me and collapsed down on the bed beside my weak body, draping one arm across my heaving chest. I nuzzled my head into his dark, messy hair.

"I'm so glad to have you back, Link," Dark said, hiding his face into my shoulder.

I felt tears beginning to prick at my eyes. This was too perfect. I had missed being with Dark like this.

"I-I'm so glad to be back, Dark," I chuckled shakily and my throat almost allowed out a sob, so I swallowed it down. He then ran his hand through my hair multiple times and then rested it on my cheek. I nudged my face into his cool, nimble fingers. "I love you. I love you so much."

"See, now, this is what I wanted to come back to..."

I pulled my sweaty face back from his a bit, peering at his glowing eyes in the dark. I saw his teeth bare at me in a large smile so I smiled back weakly.

"Your wonderful personality... everything," Dark suggested lightly, running his finger tips throughout my hair again. "I'm so happy that we're still exactly where we were five years ago. Right here." He pointed between the two of us.

"There's not another person like you, Dark." I nodded at that, and nuzzled my face into his shoulder.

He laughed; a soft, comforting noise to my ears. "There's no one like you, Link."


Hopefully you review (maybe you can get me to 400?)! I'll post the epilogue when I can, hopefully soon, so I can sum up the story and put it to a close. Thank you for being so patient, friends!
