A Charming Prince and His Prince(ss)

Heart to Heart

~~.~~

Link frowned as he remembered yesterday, he knew he had been cold to the Prince. He even shrugged off the other male's advances, he truly wanted to share another sweet night but the memory of being a prisoner and forced to.. He didn't even want to remember but he didn't have any choice. It stuck there in his mind's eye taunting him every time he closed his eyes. He had been so distracted he had barely even slept, he looked over to see his lover still deeply sleeping. He noticed the darker color under the other male's eyes and wondered if his prince had skipped sleep the night before. Link felt so guilty, so anguished that he couldn't stop the tears once they began to blur his vision. He turned away and sobbed, he felt so violated by those creatures. Why had he let his guard down? He would have never let his guard down before, back when the threat of Calamity Ganon was still fresh. Then again this was the first time he had actually been able to relax, it was so peaceful in Zora's Domain. Did he wish that it could have been true? That peace could truly happen between the lizalfo and the zora?

Link stopped abruptly when he felt those arms wrap around his waist and squeeze him. He looked to see the prince still asleep but clinging to him even in his slumber. Link bit his lip, maybe he should have allowed it to happen, the image of that silver lizalfo flashed before his eyes. He clenched his fists and stood up, he needed to speak with Bass. A sudden tapping caught his attention and he looked to a sort of window where he saw one of the zora females waving at him. She motioned to the exit as if to say to meet her in the water, he was confused by this but nodded before changing into his hylian clothes and diving into the water she grabbed him under the arms and swam them both to the surface fairly quickly. Link's lungs were still burning by the time they reached the surface. He took a huge gasp of air once they surfaced and swam for the ledge to pulled himself up.

"What is this about?" Link asked.

"The king wishes to speak with you," she replied. She looked rather upset as she dove back below the water's surface, leaving Link alone. Link sighed before heading toward the ladder that would lead up to the main landing. It was just barely morning, the sun hadn't even touch the main landing of Zora domain yet. The sky however was alight with bright oranges and reds. Link looked at the sky a bit longer before one of the guards finally approached him.

"Champion," The guard addressed him. Link looked to the guard who continued. "This way if you will." Link nodded still uncertain why he was being summoned. He spotted Bass who looked away and walked off somewhere out of view, he still needed to talk to the other male. Link continued to follow the guard who led him up the stairs to the throne room where King Dorephan awaited him.

"Champion, something troubling has come to my attention," the king said as the guards left him and the king alone in the throne.

"What happened? Have the lizalfo's attacked again?" Link asked.

"No, nothing like that," the King replied with a chuckle. "No, many say my son is smitten with someone." Link gulped but didn't respond. "This news should make me overjoyed and seeking this mysterious love of his." Link watch the other male's expression carefully.

"Is this why I have been summoned?" Link asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Hmm," The king became serious suddenly as he looked directly into Link's eyes. "I am not so blind, that I can't see the way my son looks at you." Link felt his blood run cold at that. "I'm sure I gave the love of my life a similar look and I know the look because it's not the first time you have received such a look. My daughter too, loved you very much. Normally, I would be thrilled at the prospect of my son being in love. I am getting old Link, and Sidon is all I have left and if he doesn't father an heir then our line will end. As a father I want my son to be happy but as a King I must think of the future." Link was about to respond, but the king held up a hand. "I don't need a response, I just want you to think on this. Sidon will never listen to me, but he might listen to you. I only implore you to be the voice of reason, remind him of his duty to the future of this kingdom. That is all." Link frowned but before he could say anything to the king a guard spoke up from behind him.

"My king, Princess Zelda is here to speak with you," the guard said with a bow.

"Send her in," King Dorephan replied. Link bit his lip and turned away to leave as Zelda walked passed him. He watched as she stuttered to a halt when she saw him, but he didn't stick around to see if she would say anything. Link watched the ground as he trudged down the stairs and held himself tightly. Surely the king knew the ordeal he had been through but all he cared about was who his son was in love with. His vision blurred, why was all this happening to him? Was he being punished for something? Was it poor timing?

"What did my father say?" Prince Sidon asked as strong hands gripped Link's shoulder. Link looked up briefly but looked away almost immediately, he didn't want to tell the prince. Prince Sidon sighed and pulled Link into those strong warm arms, he didn't resist. Everything seemed like it was going wrong but the only light Link could see at the end of the tunnel was Sidon and he couldn't even have that. "It doesn't matter what he said, I will speak to him." Link grabbed onto Sidon keeping him from going up those steps. "What is it?"

"Princess Zelda is up there," Link whispered. Sidon pulled away and tilted Link to look at him, those sad eyes met his.

"You don't wish for her to know," Prince Sidon stated. "Link..."

"Prince Sidon," one of the guards called down to him. Sidon looked up obviously agitated. "The king wishes to speak with you."

"So official," Prince Sidon replied, crossing his own arms across his broad chest. "Since when did he become more the King and less my Father?" Link was the only one to catch that second part. "I shall return. Bass take him to my room, Link needs some rest. He's been through a lot lately."

"Of course, my prince," Bass replied. Link frowned, did Bass go and wake Prince Sidon? Link watched as Prince Sidon ascended the stairs before suddenly rounding on Bass with an accusing look. Bass was a bit surprised but at least had a slightly guilty look.

"We need to talk," Link started.

"Wait, not here," Bass replied. "Come, I will take you to Prince Sidon's room. We can talk a bit there." Link looked around realizing a few zora were out and about and could overhear.

"Fine," Link replied, giving in for now. Bass smiled and bowed before heading to the waterfall and diving into the water. Link followed suit and resurfaced before grabbing onto Bass for the long dive down. He briefly admired the coral before Bass resurfaced in Sidon's room. Link pulled himself up but bass remained at the entry. "Why did you lie to Prince Sidon?" The look on Bass' face darkened.

"Link, you know what those lizalfo do to their captives," Bass replied. Link felt bad for asking seeing the tortured look on Bass' face. "They did even worse to me during the five days I was their prisoner. They even used their shock arrows, I didn't even think to escape until one desperate night when all the lizalfo were asleep. My previous attempts had met with failure, you see, but that night I got away. I lied to prince Sidon because, I don't want to remember. Surely you can understand that, I want to keep my people safe not deliver them to such a horrid fate." Link nodded.

"I get it, I'm sorry," Link replied, knowing all to well what the lizalfo do.

"I want to protect my Prince most of all," Bass replied. "And you, that's why I went there. Hoping I could rescue you, somehow. Please, forgive me." Link smiled slightly, of course he would forgive Bass. There was no way he couldn't forgive the other male.

"I forgive you," Link replied. "Thank you for being honest with me, finally."

"It's not easy," Bass replied with a chuckle. "Well I need to get back on patrol, and I am truly sorry I didn't make it in time." Link smiled sadly before laying back down, a light splash told him that Bass took his leave. He yawned and felt himself slipping away, he wanted so desperately to forget that night, anything that could distract him would have been welcome but more bad news was not what he needed. He needed his prince but there was no way they could be together. A light splash was heard, he ignored it until rough hands grabbed him and pulled him to them. His eyes flew open to see the silver lizalfo.

"You is MINEZ now," the monster yelled.

~~.~~

Link jerked awake, his breathing was loud even to his own ears, he laid back down he was in Prince Sidon's room, and there was no silver lizalfo. "I'm safe, I'm safe.." he reassured himself. How was he going to sleep like this if the moment he finally drifts off he has a nightmare. A splash sounded and he jumped instantly looking to the entrance. It was only Prince Sidon, Link sighed with relief. Sidon frowned as he approached, he ran a hand along Link's jaw. "Another nightmare?" Sidon asked. Link nodded wordlessly, the prince held him then. "I don't know what they did to you but I will make them pay for their crimes." Link clung onto Prince Sidon he feared for the zora prince. Shock arrows were the bane of the zora and he didn't want his prince to be harmed by one.

"No," Link croaked as tears choked him. He didn't want the prince to be in any danger. He didn't know what he would do if the prince was hurt by those monsters because of him. He couldn't live with that kind of guilt, he was certain of it.

"Link, shock arrows don't scare me," The prince said instantly realizing where the hero's thoughts had went. He pushed Link back and tilted his head to look at him. "They must pay for what they have done."

"Prince Sidon please.." Link begged, he felt hot tears falling from his eyes. He didn't want the prince to see him like this, he felt so weak, so helpless. Link covered his face to try and wipe the stray tears away but more kept coming. Prince Sidon pulled him close again, he didn't know why but those strong arms holding him and caressing his back was so comforting. He sighed feeling instantly better than before and wrapped his arms around the prince to hold on as if his life depended on it. He could actually feel himself drifting far away, while he was locked in that embrace. It wasn't long before he was spirited away by the dark and the warmth of it.
