There is no smut in this chapter. Smut will return next chapter.
It was the middle of the night. Link was lying in his bed, unable to sleep with hot tears streaming down his face. His body ached from all the sex he'd had recently and he felt dirty. He tried to be quiet with his crying, but every once and a while a sob would escape his mouth through his clenched teeth.
Out in the hallway, Pit was returning to him and Dark Pits room after getting himself a drink of water. As he took the handle, he heard a noise coming from Links room next door. Was Link crying? Pit softly walked over to Links door and gave a gentle knock before creaking the door open.
"Sorry if I'm intruding on you, but may I come in?" Link looked over at Pit through the crack in the door and gave him a sad nod. Pit entered the room and quietly closed the door behind him. Link sat upright onto his bed, wincing as he felt a soreness in his lower body. Pit sat next to him and put a hand on Links shoulder. Impulsively, Link pulled Pit into a tight hug while tears trailed down his face. Surprised, Pit hugged Link back, rubbing his hands on Links shoulder blades to comfort him.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Link found Pits voice to be soothing. He no longer felt alone. Link felt the lump in his throat grow smaller and he found the strength to talk to Pit without breaking down.
"I'm such a goddamn whore all the time, it feels like I'm not even in control of my own body anymore." Link whispered with pain in his voice.
"I vow to myself that I'll break my habits and not give into my sexual urges, yet whenever I'm presented with an opportunity to have sex with someone new, I willingly take it like the slut I am." Link felt a pressure building up in his face as he began to start crying again. Pit didn't fully understand what Link was saying, but he did get that Link was feeling doubt about himself.
"Look, we all do bad things from time to time, but that doesn't make you a bad person. I know eventually you'll find the strength to break your habit, but in the meantime, I'll be here for you." Pit gave Link a pat on the back. Pit felt so warm in his arms. Link thought about telling Pit about the potions and his abuse of them but decided not to, even though Pit knew there was more to his emotions than his sex life. Link hugged Pit even tighter.
"Thank you so much for caring about me, I'd never thought I'd find someone who would care about me here." Pit felt a smile forming on his face. He was glad he was able to make someone happy. Link moved back from the hug and looked Pit in the eye. He gently placed a kiss on Pits lips. There was no trace of romance or lust in the kiss, it was more of a "I'm glad you exist" type of kiss and Pit fully understood that. They both snuggled until Link fell asleep in Pits arms. Pit laid Link down on his bed and gave him a kiss on the forehead.
"I hope you can find happiness in yourself." Pit whispered to the sleeping hylian. Pit quietly left the room, closing the door softly behind him.
