Who I Am And What I Used To Be: Link's Story

Chapter Five -- If It Feel Like Betrayal

I moaned as I drifted back into the real world -- bringing along a terrible headache. Grabbing my head, I looked around me, wondering where I was and how I had fallen asleep. Turning to the clock, I noticed that it was only 7:45. The sun was just now beginning to go down.

I rolled carelessly off my bed, landing with a loud thump on the floor. I had intentionally done it, hoping it would wake me up. Apparently, I had dozed when I came back here just to lay down and think; after leaving the dining hall, all I really wanted to do was be alone and clear my blurry thoughts. Unfortunately, they were as cloudy as ever, seeing as I hadn't gotten any "thinking" done at all.

"Is everything alright in there?"

Suprising. The voice that I heard on the other side of the door belonged to none other than Roy. Hearing him made me jump, seeing as it was very unexpected.

There were three abrupt knocks on the door. I picked myself up off the floor and straightened my tunic. The door knob turned slowly until it finally opened fully; my ears hadn't deceived me. There stood Roy, in the flesh.

"Hi, Link," Roy said, giving me a gentle smile. "I wanted a moment to speak with you. For a while there I didn't think you were here until I heard... something fall."

"That something was me," I replied with a short laugh. "I rolled out of bed."

We both walked back into the living room where a pizza was setting on the table. I gave Roy a questioning look.

"I was still hungry," he answered quietly. "Want some?"

"No thanks." I suddenly wondered where all this was coming from. Roy had been so hostile toward me to the point where I was starting to think he wanted nothing more than to kill me. After seeing this, I started to think maybe I was just being paranoid and that Roy's hostility was all in my head. I smiled a smile of relief, feeling somewhat better.

"I wanted to apologize for the rude ways I have been treating you," Roy said, taking a slice of pizza out of the box and taking a huge bite out of it. "I'm sorry for acting like a jealous brat. Sincerely."

I nodded, making sure to smile politely. "Apology accepted." Was he reading my mind? Hrm... Strange. And sudden, too.

"Then have a seat," Roy said, patting the spot next to him on our couch. He smiled... well, rather sensually, then added, "we have some things to discuss."

I did as I was told and plopped down beside Roy. He had already finished one slice of pizza and was working on the next. His hunger truly did suprise me sometimes, seeing as how his build was smaller than mine and Marth's. Maybe that's how he has so much energy -- eating nonstop.

Roy swallowed his mouthful and got up from the couch. He wandered over to the far side of the room, and reaching for a switch, he turned out the lights. It was then I noticed small candles all around, lighting the room.

My stomach began to start turning somersaults. I had felt better, but this was starting to get a little on the strange side. Candles? I swallowed hard, hating the thoughts that were now bubbling into my head. This had to be some sort of --

"Link?" Roy asked, shaking me gently. I shook my head and looked at him, a fear rising within me.

"What's going on?" I asked, not realizing my voice sounded like I was in the middle of having a seizure.

Roy smirked, walking to the coat closet. He reached inside and grabbed a light jacket. Slipping it around his shoulders, he said, "Marth and I are going to see a movie together tonight. For you? A visitor," he said cheerily.

I was really beginning to wonder then, until Roy opened the door to the living area and in stepped Zelda, wearing a long trench coat. She smiled briefly at Roy before he waved to us and stepped out the door -- to spend the evening with Marth.

"Have fun you two!" we heard Roy call down the hallway.

Have fun? I thought. What's going on?!

Suddenly I knew. This had all been set up! Roy's apology was most likely sincere, but that was probably because he was going out on a date with the Prince. I hung my head, jealousy washing over me. Here I was, Zelda staring at me with lust in her eyes. This all seemed nice and romantic, but it tore at my heart. The only reason this was happening was so I would be away from the other two swordsmen.

After Zelda had left the dining hall with Peach, I should have known that something like this was going to happen. Did I really expect Zelda to handle me kissing a man with complete control? Hell no! Stupid, Link!

And who knows what other reasons this whole ordeal had. I was in the middle of it all, being pushed in this direction and that until I was right where everyone wanted me!

"Hi," Zelda said, walking toward me in a cat-like manner. She removed her coat, letting it slide off her shoulders like silk. As I suspected, underneath, she was wearing nothing but a very short, white, lacy nightgown with thin, double straps. The Princess giggled lightly before coming towards me and setting herself down on my lap.

"Zelda, what's going on?" I asked, not flinching. "How did you... " I stopped for a moment, trying to find the appropriate thing to say. "... plan this?"

"I talked to Roy, and I convinced him and Marth to go out for a few hours," she whispered in my ear. "Kind of like a 'guys night out'. So you and I could have a little 'alone' time. Roy agreed that it would be a nice idea if you and I shared some privacy, since we have been drifting apart. He helped me put the candles around the room, and I wore this sexy nightgown to set the mood."

I felt myself squirming in her grasp. It just wasn't right. Under any other circumstances, I would probably be having the time of my life. But with these suspicions that I held, I plainly wasn't going to enjoy this. My mind was going to be constantly thinking that this whole "romantic night" was a setup, just for everyone else's convenience.

She kissed me then, her tongue slipping into my mouth. Her hands began to roam until they found my belt buckle. Zelda deepend the kiss and her fingers began to unfasten the buckle, that is, until it was more than I could stand.

I pushed her off me as easily as I could, yet still applied as much pressure as needed for her to get my point. "I want the damn truth, Zelda."

"That was the truth, for your information," she replied. "I suggested to Roy that he ask Marth out. He took my advice."

"Why did you do such a thing?" I asked her, scooting further away from her. "So you could have what you wanted? And Roy could have Marth all to himself? Was that the deal?"

Zelda sighed, her eyes glossy. "I wanted to have you all to myself, yes, I'll admit! When has that become such a sin? I came here tonight to remind you of what we used to mean to each other! To make love to you, and to make you realize what we have! I don't want to lose that because of someone -- anyone! -- coming between us."

I hid my face from her, feeling mostly ashamed. Other parts of me were still angry, upset, disoriented, etc. Mostly, however, it was shame. I knew how much I meant to Zelda. And my playfull advances at Marth -- and Roy, come to think of it -- were doing nothing but tearing her apart. Tearning us apart. She only knew that I had kissed Marth. She didn't know anything about the feelings that I was starting to have towards him. Whether they were lustful feelings or if it was truly something real, I didn't know myself. I was still trying to figure that part out. Nevertheless Zelda's emotions and confusion.

I closed my eyes then, trying to keep any tears from escaping. I had to be selfless enough to consider the other people that the disputes with myself was involving. Until I figured out, I couldn't keep hurting the ones I love, and the ones who love me. Somehow, I knew then what I had to do. And damn it, it was going to hurt.

"Oh gosh, that movie was horrible!" Marth laughed, his arm resting around his stomach. Both he and Roy were walking down the hallway back to their dorm. "Way overrated if you ask me."

"Tell me about it!" Roy agreed, nodding. "Everything was so fake looking. Of course, everyone knows that it had to be fake, but seriously -- they could have done a better job."

The two swordsmen stopped in front of the door, Marth suddenly asking, "I wonder if Zelda is still inside with Link?"

"Only one way to find out," Roy replied with a half-smile.

Roy turned the doorknob discreetly and Marth followed him inside, making sure to be quiet. In front of them on the couch was Link, his head resting lightly on the back of the couch. Marth took note that his eyes were also tear stained. Marth and Roy exchanged glances then, both wondering the same thing.

Roy nodded, and together, the two left the room unnoticed, leaving Link by himself.

"Did you notice that?" Marth asked, sitting down on his bed. "He'd been crying."

"I can only imaging how Zelda is feeling," Roy replied, sighing. "I apologized to Link for being such an ass to him. And I meant it. Somehow, though, I feel rotten. Obviously, he didn't have quite as good of a time as we did. Things must not have turned out the way they were intended."

Marth shook his head and leaned back onto his pillows. "The best thing is just to leave him at peace right now."

"I agree. Zelda just rushed up to me and asked me if I would be interested in seeing a movie and taking you along. I know that she wanted some alone time with Link, seeing as how things have been between them. I thought it was a pretty good idea. Of course," Roy said, his lips forming a soft, affectionate smile, "I said I'd be delighted to spend the evening with you."

"It would be nice if we could do it again sometime," Marth replied, his eyes glistening and his heart fluttering. "Come over here and sit next to me."

Roy didn't hesitate; he sat gently down beside the Prince and let himself feel Marth's arm slide itself around his waist. In return, Roy moved his arm and placed it around Marth's waist. Both of them felt their hearts jump, unsure of what might happen next but all the same, excited about the possibilities.

It was Marth who finally broke the silence between them.

"Shall we finish what we began a few days ago?" Marth asked, his fingers stroking Roy's side. "Since I so abruptly left you without so much as an 'I'm sorry' ?"

"Yes... please," Roy all but begged. Marth smiled and put his other arm around Roy, pulling him in snugly. Roy moved a hand up to Marth's hair and began to run his fingers through his tresses.

"That feels... absolutely incredible," Marth replied, his voice cracking. "Keep doing it."

Roy took in a deep breath; feeling Marth's fingertips slide up his shirt was making him weak. The Prince's eyes seemed to say it all. Not even a second later, Marth's mouth was placed over Roy's own. Roy's head began to spin as he felt the moisture from Marth's lips, the affectionate movements Marth was putting into their kiss. Roy let a moan escape his throat. Hearing Roy's approval, Marth opened his mouth and parted Roy's lips with his toungue.

Roy continued to stroke Marth's hair as they kissed. In the meanwhile, Marth's hand was inching further and further up the back of Roy's button-down shirt. Moments later, the two boys released.

"I only want to go as far as you want to go," Marth said breathlessly.

"I'm willing to go as far as you want to take me," Roy replied, placing his hand on Marth's face.

Zelda threw her bags down on her bed. Earlier, she had been filled with desperation and sadness, but now, her heart's emotions had transformed into anger. She didn't feel hate in particular for Link, now her ex-boyfriend, but more for Marth, the one that she blamed her shattered heart on.

"He'll pay," she silently swore to herself. At that point, she was unsure if she had meant those two simple words as a threat to Link or to the Prince. Some of her even felt it for Roy. Of course, she knew that it wasn't his idea to leave the dorms that night. It was her own idea, thus, her own fault.

Zelda got dressed into her normal nightly attire: a simple pair of jogging pants and a white T-shirt. She turned her bed down, not noticing that Samus and Peach were nowhere to be found. All her body felt like doing was falling into her bed, searching for some kind of comfort.

Her dreams were felt with images of Link, her beloved, kissing the Prince. Since nightmares will be nightmares, Roy's face also appeared as a possible lover for Link. Zelda cringed, holding tightly to her covers. The only things she was able to see was her picture of Marth and Link, cuddling together, holding hands, kissing.

Peach and Samus entered the room quietly, seeing as the lights were out, all except a small candle left to light the room for the other two when them came in.

"She and Link broke up," Peach informed Samus. "Zelda's heart is in a mess."

"Why on Earth?" Samus asked, giving Peach a strange look.

"It's probably already gotten out by now, but Marth and Link shared a little something the other day, and now, Link keeps reliving it. So he thinks he may possibly have feelings for Marth. And until he knows, he had to end his relationship with Zelda. That was his side, anyway."

"He really told her that? That he might be falling for a Prince?"

Peach nodded. "Painful, yes. Fair? No. I don't even see how this began in the first place."

"Sometimes things are weird," was all Samus could manage to say, shaking her head lightly. "But in honesty, I don't understand it one bit."

Peach continued to watch Zelda toss and turn and occassionaly cry out Link's name softly.

"This is more than even I can handle," Samus confessed. "We have to do something."

Peach's serious face suddenly formed into a sly half-smile. "And I think I know just what that is."

"And what is that?" Samus whispered, trying not to wake Zelda, but almost wishing she could.

"Ex Marth out of the picture. For good."

** ~ ** ~ ** ~ ** ~ **

"Only if you're certain, Roy," Marth whispered softly, stroking his hair.

"I am certain, Marth. I've never met anyone with the qualities you have. You and I -- we fit together."

Marth smiled softly only moments before taking Roy and lying him down on the bed. "Just relax, okay? Let me kiss you and get you used to me. Then we'll see from there."

Roy closed his eyes, imagining Marth kissing him like he knew Marth could. He didn't have to imaging for long, however. Marth placed his hand behind Roy's head and kissed his lips softly, trying not to be too forceful.

Roy felt Marth's fingers grip the bottom hem of his shirt, knowing what Marth was about to do. So Roy let the Prince pull his shirt over his head and toss it aside. Neither of them said anything as Roy repeated the gesture.

Marth once again opened his mouth and let Roy's toungue enter inside. Marth concentrated on every little move that Roy made, which made him weaker and weaker under Roy's gentle touch.

Roy felt Marth place his hand on his chest. Both released from their kiss and looked into each other's eyes, deeply at first, then almost as if the two were in another world. Marth gave Roy's chest a quick, light push, making Roy fall back onto the pillows. Roy only concentrated on Marth as the older boy came down on him, once again allowing himself to feel Marth's kiss.

Roy felt as if he was in a deep trance, but the trance was broken as quickly as he had fallen in it when he heard the sounds of activity going on in their living room. Try as he might, he couldn't push the distractions away from him.

"Marth," Roy said, calmly pushing Marth to the side. "I'm sorry, but I have to go see Zelda."

"Why?" Marth asked, sounding hurt. His question wasn't answered as Roy pulled his shirt back over his head. "Please tell me."

"Because I feel I have to. I feel guilty for this, Marth. This wasn't just for me and you. It was for Link and Zelda, too. And," he stopped, listening to dishes rattle in the kitched, "their night didn't turn out near as well. I feel bad that the original purpose for all this wasn't carried out. I hear Link up. I'm going to go talk to Zelda, and find out exactly what happened."

Marth didn't have a chance to agree as Roy left the room in a blur.
