Chapter 4

Dark Link shifted in his sleep as images of the hero entered his mind. He began to imagine the blonde in his most vulnerable state, which made him clutch the sheets underneath him in response. Dreaming about Link was very common for him and most of the time, they had him wondering how long he would keep his feelings hidden before he snapped. But now, he felt more easy after confessing, but that still didn't stop the dreaming from turning him on.

"A-Ah Dark. . . P-Please."

Dark let out light pants as he felt the blonde's mouth travel lower until it reached his groin. A moment later he arched with a slight gasp once a tongue made contact with the bulge in his pants, his cheeks starting to flush a light shade of pink. There are times where he loved seeing the blonde dominate him, but it made no difference since Dark Link was the one doing the penetrating. He sighed once his erection was released into the cool air and then-

He felt a large weight on top of his waist.

Dark Link was confused. The image in his mind was starting to blur as he focused more on the weight that was interrupting his sleep. For a moment, he thought it was Link, but then realized that he was still in Ganondorf's castle and there was no way that the hero would sneak into his room without being caught. Along with the fact that Link wasn't this heavy. Slowly, but steadily, he began to open his eyes to meet with a large blur of white. It took a few seconds for his vision to focus and his eyes widened when he saw Ghirahim staring down at him with a smirk. "That was a nice dream you having, was it not?" The ravenette looked down to see a small bulge in his pants in front of where Ghirahim was sitting. In an instant, the shadow brought up one of his legs and kicked the demon off of him. "Get off me, creep!" Ghirahim landed on the floor with a loud thud as Dark Link brushed off his clothes and made sure that nothing was wrong with him.

"You know, Dark Link. I heard from the sorceress that you made love with the Hero the other night," Ghirahim stated while standing to his feet. Dark Link blushed madly in response when he felt arms wrap around him and lips near his ear. "Care to tell me how it felt?"

"How about you mind your own business?" The shadow retorted back while pulling away. He began to step into the hall, believing that the demon would poke his nose into information he didn't need to know. The shadow quietly made his way towards the dining hall of the castle to grab a quick snack before telling the dark lord about his departure. As he said the previous day, he didn't plan to stay in the Gerudo Desert for long if he was to continue his facade of being one of Ganondorf's followers. He wasn't worried about deceiving Ganondorf; he was worried about deceiving Cia. Dark Link knew that the sorceress was going to keep a close eye on him ever since she witnessed the two of them in Hyrule Castle.

Dark Link entered the throne room and glanced around, seeing that the Gerudo hasn't emerged from his chambers, the opposite of what he had previously thought. He took a step into the room, keeping his guard up in case someone was spying on him. He knew that he wasn't immediately trusted the moment he returned, and he knew that he was being watched somewhere. He felt uneasy and turned around to see nothing else in the room. Dark Link breathed a sigh of relief, but still kept his guard up; he didn't want to be too careless.

"Long time no see," Dark Link glanced towards another entrance to see Vaati stretching his arms out as he stepped into the room. He looked around with a curious glance and turned back to the shadow. "Strange. I imagined that Ganondorf would already be here."

"It's strange to me as well." Dark Link replied with a hand on his hip. Vaati's face grew a smile and he leaned in closely towards the shadow. "Is what Cia said true? About you making love with the Hero?" He sighed and looked over at the Minish's expecting gaze, mentally noting that he looked more than pleased to hear the story. He decided to put on his act, and smirked in response. "Yeah it's true, but it's not like I wanted to."

"Why did you?"

"To see if I could earn his trust," Dark Link replied with crossed arms. "If he pushed me away, that would mean that he was still suspicious of me. Although, I think I got him to fall in love with me."

"The Hero is in love with you!?" Vaati shouted too loudly for comfort, and the shadow slapped a hand over his mouth to keep him quiet. "Shh. This is our little secret. Make sure not to tell Cia; you know how she is with the Hero."

"Got it," Vaati nodded in response and placed a finger over his lips with a smile. "Oh Hylia, I can't wait to see his face when he finds out you were on Ganondorf's side this entire time." Dark Link's smirk grew with malice, and he chuckled slightly. He pulled away from the Minish and proceeded to head towards the courtyard. "I as well." He waved as he exited the room and stepped down the hall, avoiding eye contact from various minions. He heard Tiara trail behind him closely as he sat on the sand and looked up at the sky. It hurt him to play this charade with the other followers, but it was the only option to make sure that he and Link were safe. If they were to ever go against Ganondorf, the would be completely outnumbered five to three, if they included Zelda. Even with their strengths combined, the Gerudo could easily overpower them and kill them all. Dark Link shuddered at the thought and brought his knees closer to himself. Tiara landed on his shoulder and gave him a comforting look. "Will you be okay?"

"I don't know," Dark Link replied with a sigh, staring at the sand with a sad expression. "I don't know how long I can keep this up."

"Keep what up?" The shadow jerked his head behind him to see Zant enter the courtyard. Dark Link hid his gaze as the Twili approached him eagerly, a smile peeking out from under his mask. "So I heard about you and the Hero."

"Just about everyone in this castle knows," Dark Link retorted. "Maybe the entire desert."

"You know, this is the first time that I've ever seen him in such a vulnerable state," Zant stated with a smirk, causing the shadow to blush in surprise. Is she showing the footage to everyone!? Dark Link quickly brushed off his blush before the King of Twilight noticed. In a flash, Zant was looming behind him with a tilted head. "Why do you look so down? Do you miss messing with the Hero that much?"

"So you've noticed," The shadow placed his mask back onto his face as he leaned back with a malicious smirk. "I want to go back and play with him some more, but if I leave now, Our Lord might become suspicious of me. Although I could tell him where I would be, that still doesn't exclude the possibility."

"I see," Zant smiled once again and turned his back on the shadow. "I can't wait to see the results of your charade." The Twili exited the courtyard, leaving Dark Link alone to sulk. His smirk disappeared and his heart felt heavy with the weight of his act. The fairy on his shoulder nuzzled him comfortingly before speaking. "Maybe you should go back to Link to make yourself feel better."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's because you don't need to act around him," Tiara replied in a more cheerful tone. "You can be yourself about him and Zelda, and not risk being found out. Plus your lies from yesterday seemed to have convinced Ganondorf that you're playing with the hero, so he won't be suspicious of you." The shadow smiled at her comment and petted her with his finger. "You always know how to cheer me up, don't you?"

"Well that's what I'm here for." The fairy responded cheerfully, having Dark Link's smile grow before he got off of the ground and stretched. "Alright, I'll stay for another day or two before heading back to Link. That'll probably satisfy Ganondorf for now." He began to head towards the interior of the castle with Tiara on his shoulder, preparing to send the Hero a small letter of his plans for the future.
