Cloud looked around. ~Oh god, where am I? Where's Squall?~ Suddenly he heard a voice, more of a whisper, but he still recognized the sound of the voice saying "I'm here Cloud. Right here. Come find me."
"Squall?" Cloud said disbelievingly. "Squall, I can't find you. Please Squall. Squall..."
"Cloud. Cloud, wake up. Cloud, come on. Wake up. We need to leave. Come ON! Get UP!"
Cloud woke up to see someone standing over him, shaking his shoulder. For a second, he thought it was Squall, but then he saw the dark blonde hair and his heart sank again. "What happened?" he asked Link.
"Um... the sun came up. Here in Hyrule, we call it the SUNRISE," he said slowly, looking at Cloud like he was crazy.
"I'm not stupid. I know what the sunrise is. I thought maybe something bad had happened," Cloud grumbled, getting slowly to his feet and folding his blanket.
"Whatever. I wanna leave as soon as possible, so, breakfast is on the go. Um, whatever weapons you have, you might want to get ready. Hyrule isn't the friendliest of places," Link answered, folding his own blanket and throwing it in his pack. "I've decided, if we move really fast today, and take no breaks, we MIGHT be able to get to Lon Lon today. It'll be a close call though. And then we'll have horses and we can move even faster. That's only if you're willing to go non stop all day."
"Anything! Anything to get us there faster!" Cloud said suddenly, thinking once again of Squall.
Link gave him a measuring, almost sad look. "You really love him, don't you? This Squall guy, you really do care about him." Link said in a strange tone that Cloud couldn't place.
"More than anything. He's my life. I don't know what I'd do without him," Cloud replied. "If something happens to him, I could never forgive myself. I was supposed to take care of him, and I didn't. All this, it's all my fault. All my fault..." he trailed off, looking towards the cave entrance, the rising sun catching his golden hair and making his eyes sparkle. Suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," was all Link said before removing his hand and standing up to leave the cave.


Cloud and Link walked for hours straight trying to get to Lon Lon Ranch as
quickly as possible. Finally the sun started to set and they were still quite
a bit a ways from anything so they had no choice but to keep walking.
"We need to hurry, things are gonna start coming out if we dont get there
soon..." Link told Cloud who was slowly walking along dragging a stick behind
him...( note to tugs: i dunno, it would be cute to see a cloud just walking
with his head down and dragging a stick like a little kid...)
"Would you hurry up!?" Link about yelled.
"fine... but why do we always have to hurry, I mean, look, theres the ranch
right there..." cloud pointed out as Link ran towards it and Cloud walked
slowly...
~Geesh that guys always in such a hurry...I dont get whats so dangerous about
night....~
"Cloud! BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!" Link yelled as a monster popped out of the ground
and attacked Cloud from behind. The monster hit Cloud in the head and knocked
him out cold. luckily, link was there to save him from any more harsh wounds.
Link carried the other blonde to the ranch and set him down on a bed.
link then noticed that his own shirt was covered in blood. Then he looked
back at Cloud and noticed a large cut across his perfect chest. Link sighed
and carefully stripped CLoud of his bloody shirt. ~WOW he has a NICE
body...wait hes taken... must not... drool...*Droolz*~
Link continued staring at Cloud for another few seconds before remembering what he was SUPPOSED to be doing. ~Get yourself together Link. He loves someone else. And he's hurt.~ He sighed as he picked up a warm damp rag at his side and began to gently wash the gash across Cloud's chest. Link carefully cleaned that cut and began working on a few others lower down on Cloud's abdomen.
Suddenly, Cloud shivered and sat up. Seeing Link laying across his bare chest with one hand near his pants, Cloud freaked out. ~What is he doing?!? Why is his hand there? What happened? Why do I think I like this idea?!?~ "What are you doing?" he asked. ~Man, what is with me and lame questions lately?~
"You're awake! I'm just cleaning your scratches. I told you things that come out here at night aren't very nice," Link replied, taking his hand from Cloud's stomache and sitting up, his face a few inches from Cloud's.
Neither of them knew later who or what started it, but in the next second, the two blonde men met in a heated kiss. Cloud wrapped his arms around Link and put his hands up the back of his shirt, feeling the other man shiver at his touch. Link put his hand on Cloud's stomache and began caressing him above his pants line. The two leaned in closer and Cloud broke the kiss to pull Link's shirt over his head, throwing it into a corner. (note: Cloud has a thing with throwing clothes everywhere...) Link continued feeling Cloud's stomache with gentle fingers, moving up to his chest.
Cloud gave a gasp of pain as Link's questing fingers found the cut on his chest.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Are you ok?" Link asked hurredly, afraid he'd hurt his companion.
"Yeah, I'm fine, but maybe we shouldn't do this right now," Cloud answered, gingerly touching the wound he'd just now noticed.
Link sighed again, "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll finish patching you up, just let me see if Talon has any healing potion." The Kokiri stood up and, finding his shirt again, left the room.
Cloud leaned back against the pillows on his bed and sighed, deep in thought.
~What am i doing!~ Cloud thought as he remembered why he was with link in the
first place: Squall. ~I just cheated on the love of my life... what the hell
am i thinking?!? but link is just so..h-- NO HES NOT! NOT LINK!~ Cloud shook
his head as if trying to get the thought out of his head. all he could feel
was guilt. he loved Squall, but with link it was a whole new feeling. the
feeling he got when him and Squall started being together... *more guilt* ~Why
does he have to be so sexy!~ cloud closed his eyes to try to clear his mind
of what he just did to not only link, but also to Squall. Cloud put his hands
on his bare chest and felt blood. "OW!" Cloud whined, forgetting he was
injured. sudenly cloud heard footsteps coming up the stairs. link came
through the door with a bottle of blue liquid.
"drink this." he said.
"eww... its funny coloured..." Cloud said as he looked at it.
"fine be injured." link said hotly. Cloud took the bottle and chugged it.
"there. i drank it."
"Shut up and kiss me." Link said as he pulled Cloud towards him. Cloud did as
he was told and pressed his lips against the other mans. and they were soon
in a passonate kiss. Cloud again, ripped links shirt off of him and threw it
to the other side of the room. Link agresivly pushed Cloud to the bed and
laid on top of him. breaking of the kiss and kissing cloud's neck. Cloud
moaned and then *POP*
"cloud...something is.... poking me..."link said in between
kisses.
