Disclaimers: I do not own Zelda or any of it's characters. :'( Oh woe is meh...
Warnings: This is shounen-ai. That means that Link and Sheik are all googly over eachother. And I consider Sheik to be male, so NYAH! XP No actual yaoi in this one, sorry. Teh smex is in part two! So...go read part two! Rated T for mild language.

Hero of Mine
Chapter Nine: Oasis
Link approached the Spirit Temple and stopped, his eyes falling over the beautiful, weather-worn structure. It had aged from the sands a bit since he was here as a child, but he could still see the beauty in it. A gust of wind hit him from the side, and he shielded his eyes. When the wind had passed, he looked up to see Sheik standing in front of him.
"It's been a while…" He said, walking up to Link.
"Too long…" Link answered, pulling down Sheik's mask. He bent down to kiss him, but the boy turn his head. He smiled mischievously, then grabbed Link's hand and lead him to the small oasis away from the temple. He sat under a palm tree and patted the ground beside him, motioning for Link to sit. Link unbuckled his sword and shield and set them on the ground, then sat next to Sheik.
"So what's this all about?" he asked.
"Nothing, really" Sheik answered. "I just want to spend some time with you." He smiled and rested his head on Link's shoulder. Link wrapped his arm around Sheik's waist and pulled him closer. Sheik snuggled up and sighed.
"Isn't this great?" he asked, his eyes closed. "Your warmth is soothing…"
"Yeah…" Link answered, closing his own eyes. "It is. I wish I could stay this way forever…"
Sheik opened his eyes and blinked. Link had said forever…so…did that mean he really loved him? Or was he just exaderating?
"Link…can I ask you something? And I want you to answer honestly."
Link gently rubbed Sheik's side. "Ok. What's wrong?"
"Do you love me?"
Link just looked into Sheik's eyes for a moment, then smiled. "Of course I love you. How could I not?"
"Well…," Sheik looked down, "because of what I did to you…" Memories of the whipping incident flashed through both of their minds.
Link hugged Sheik tightly. "That doesn't matter to me."
Sheik pulled away slightly. "But how can't it? I almost killed—"
Link silenced Sheik with a long, sweet, tender kiss. A kiss so true and sincere, that Sheik thought he would die from all the love Link poured into him. Neither knew how long the kiss lasted; only that, when it was over, both wished it could have gone on foe eternity.
"I love you, because when I look into your eyes, I know that you love me back. And that's all I need." Link brushed the hair that covered Sheik's eyes over his pointed ear.
"I do love you back."
Sheik said with a smile. "I think I have since I first saw you."
Link pulled him back and Sheik rested his head on Link's chest.
"No matter what happens…" Sheik said softly, "I'll always love you. No matter what." He repeated.
"But nothing will happen," Link said casually, as though nothing could ever happen.
"I'll never forget you, Link." Sheik said, burying his face in Link's chest.
"Why would you? Nothing will happen to separate us…will it?"
Sheik just smiled slightly and sighed. "We'll see," he said. "We'll see…"
