Chapter 2

Day 8, Month 1, Year 3

Link's POV

Today was a slow day even despite the fact that Tetra made me do work today. I was wiped so I decided to go back to my room to get a drink. When I walked in Tetra was sitting at her desk writing in her captain's log about how we still haven't found new lands.

"Don't you ever get tired of writing the same report every day?"

"Do you think I like doing this Link?"

"Well you seem to enjoy all of your duties as captain."

"What makes you think that? I don't like having to argue with you about doing work."

"Then don't give it to me!"

"I would but if I don't give you work every now and again, the other crew members will start asking for less work as well. Everybody has to do their share on this ship. That's just the way it goes."

"Ugh! Whatever Tets. Send over the rum will ya?"

She passed it over along with a glass but I just drank right out of the bottle.

"Maybe if you didn't drink every night Link, then you would have more energy for working."

"You drink every night with me and your just fine."

"Oh shut up Link."

"You know I'm right!"

I walked over to my bed when I saw that it was soaked.

"Hey Tetra, we got a leak over by my bed"

"Shit! Not another one!"

"Guess I'll just sleep on the floor."

"No need, you can sleep in my bed."

"So will you sleep on the floor?" Link asked

"You're crazy if you think I'm sleeping on the floor. We'll share my bed. It's big enough for both of us to fit."

"Yah but just barely."

"Do you wanna sleep on the floor or not?"

"I'll share the bed."

Link was right though. It would be a tight fit. We both managed to get into bed and share the blanket evenly between us. Shortly after getting into bed we both fell asleep.

Shortly after however a chilly wind started up and woke the both of us up.

With a groggy voice Link said: "Is it me or is it really cold in here?"

"It's really cold in here!" It was absolutely freezing. I was shivering and my teeth were chattering. Link clearly noticed this and said.

"Tetra, do you want me to keep you warm? We can huddle together."

"No ww...wwaa..aay Link. I'm jjj...just fine."

"No you're not. You don't need to be tough all the time."

"Look Link, sharing a bed is one thing but cuddling is another."

"First of all I said huddle not cuddle and second, if you don't you'll get sick and the ship can't function without you. We need you to be okay."

"Oh alright fine!"

Link put his arms around me and pulled me closer. I instantly started warming up which was so nice. The truth is that other nights that have been cold I have wanted to ask Link if I could crawl into bed with him. But I don't want him knowing how I feel about him. Knowing Link he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut about it if I told him. He'd tell everyone. And then the whole crew will be harassing me about it. But still, it felt nice to have Link hold me in his arms. He was very muscular despite how much time he spent either sleeping or eating. With the safe feeling of being in Links arms I fell asleep again.

Day 9, Month 1, Year 3

I woke up and stretched my arms out and then remember that I was still in Link's arms. It was so wonderful. However, the only problem was that his arms were so strongly wrapped around me that I couldn't get out of them and Link just wouldn't wake up. After about 6 minutes of trying to wake him I gave up. Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Tetraaaa!" It was Gonzo.

"Don't come in, I um, ah, I'm not decent!"

"Sorry to disturb you. Do you have orders though for me?"

"Um yah! You're in charge for today. I trust that you'll do a good job."

"OK!" I then heard him stomp away.

"That was close..."

"What was close?" Link said as he slowly woke up.

"Gonzo almost came in. I put him in charge so me and you get a day off."

"Sweet! Thanks Tets!"

"No problem."

I got out of bed and got changed and when I came back to the bed Link had a strange look on his face.

"Tetra, is there something you want to tell me?"

I immediately started blushing.

"Ummm...no! What makes you think that?"

"You talk in your sleep. Shortly after we curled up together when you fell asleep you said something about wanting to tell me something. What did want to tell me?"

"Oh it's not important. Just something about getting that leak fixed."

"Ok, sure, whatever you say."

"Hey Link. I didn't happen to say anything else in my sleep, did I?"

"No don't worry."

"Ok good!"

That was way to close!

Greetings Readers. I am so sorry for not updating for like 5 months. I have no excuse for not updating other than pure laziness which is why I tried to make this chapter long. So I hope you enjoy!
