A/N Thanks JonathonTheGamer I will definatly make my paragraphs a bit longer. Usually I end writing my stories really late at night because I procrastinate and put them off till I'm about to fall alseep. Actually yesterday I wrote chapter five early in the morning and then played Ocarina of Time from start to finish. I think I've fought the last fight so much I've been able to defeat Ganon in both stages without using any of my potions or fairies. Anyway on with the story ;P

Chapter 6
3rd person POV
'We are running low on supplies hero,' Dark echoed as he looked at their stuff, 'Especially since most of your clothes were destroyed by the acid. Not that I'm complaining that you're wearing my clothes, you just might be more comfortable in something your more comfortable with.'
Link was thinking about people they could stop and introduce dark, to then he remembered that Malon told him that he could come to the ranch anytime he wanted. That might be a good place.
'You still there hero?' Dark waved his hand in front of Links face which snapped Link out of his thoughts.
"Uh yeah! Sure whatever." Link guessed.
"Man you have trouble listening! You don't even know what I said. If it weren't for me helping you on your journey you probably wouldn't have even remembered the first place you had to go!" Dark chuckled.
"Haha very funny. But seriously yes was the answer right?"
Dark thought for a second. "It depends. I could've been asking you to strip down and give me a lap dance, then the answer still would've been yes. Hmm. Ow!"
Link smacked Dark in the back of the head. "Be serious for once idiot! Now seriously what did you say."
"I said that were running low on supplies and need to get you some of your own cloths." Dark said, rubbing the back of his head. Link looked down and blushed, for he was still wearing Darks clothing.
"Um. I know a place where we could go."
"Well then let's get a move on! Wait-how in Hyrule are we gonna get there?"
Link smirked and then he brought his ocarina up to his mouth and began to play a soothing melody. Dark was slightly confused by this, he didn't get how music would get them somewhere. Though his confusion soon disappeared when a beautiful horse came trotting along to where they were waiting. But for some reason Dark began to get nervous.
He was shaking uncontrollably when Link got on, as though he were afraid it was going to eat them.
"You okay Dark? You are sweating and shaking really badly. Are you sick? Come on get on Epona, she'll take us where we want to go."
Link looked down at Dark with concern. "No way am I going to get on that monster, it could kill me!" Dark shrieked in fright.
"Wow so the all powerful and mighty Dark is afraid of horses! I would try to be supportive but honestly that is lame." Link looked down upon Dark with a pitiful look on his face. Then he smirked.
Dark's face grew red with anger and he began to shout.
"I'll show you lame! How dare you even suggest that! I will take you down anytime and one small horse won't frighten me!" Dark said sassily as he began to hop on Epona.
Epona started to trot forward at a steady walking speed, but Dark was holding on so he almost fell off.
"Gah! It's going to fast! It tried to knock me off! Let me off this instant Link!"
Link rolled his eyes at Dark's exaggeration. "Goddesses, why do you have to be so difficult? Epona is hardly even at a gallop. This is very slow for her. You need to hold onto me, here let me show you."
Link stopped Epona for a second. He told Dark to move closer to him till Dark was pressed up against Link. Then Link took Dark's hands and put them around his waist and told him to hold on tight. Dark was blushing a deep pink but did not complain. He got to be near the hero without the hero freaking out.
When Epona began moving forward again, this time at a faster speed, Dark held tightly onto Link and buried his head in Link's neck to prevent himself from looking down or at Epona. Link was to busy before to notice Dark in his position, but Link realized it now that Epona was steady and began losing focus on steering her. Because of this, they almost ran right into the wall that sits around Lon Lon Ranch.
"Oh crap!" He exclaimed before getting Epona back on track and entering Lon Lon Ranch.
"Dark we are here. Come on get off of me." Dark grumbled before getting off of Epona.
"Just making sure we really stopped." Link walked over to Epona and started to pet her hair, then both boys heard a shriek.
"Aaah! Link I'll save you from the monster!" Dark began to draw his sword.
"You idiot that wasn't me screaming." Link rolled his eyes and began to look for the source of the noise, only to be tackled by a happy Malon.
"Link! I'm so happy to see you! Are you okay? It's been so long! You look different, nevermind! Who's the handsome fellow over there... Omg there are two of them!" Malon blurted out before fainting from shock.
"Looks like you got yourself a fangirl hero, but I'm not sure I like that she tackled you like that. Hmm." Dark began to go into deep thought that only the goddesses know what about.
"Dang I didn't expect her to be so happy to see me. It's not like we are dating, and why would she faint after seeing you?"
Link picked up Malon and took her inside where he laid her on her bed. "We can just leave her there for now, we should probably go do some work until she wakes up so she doesn't freak that her jobs weren't done while she was unconscious." Link said to Dark.
"Okay. But, um, what exactly are the jobs we need to do?"
" Okay. I'll start by making dinner. You can go feed the cuckoos and after that go to the barn and you can work in there."
Dark nodded and walked out of the door and went towards the cuckoo pen with a bucket of seed in hand. He started to throw food around, but one sneaky cuckoo came up and pecked at his hand.
"Gahh! Get back you foul beast!" Dark started to kick any thing that came near him while he was throwing the seed. That was a big mistake, for one cuckoo began to screech and the rest followed after it. They all went after Dark and started to peck him, forcing Dark to run away screaming.
"AAAAHH! Link! They're trying to kill me! Save me! They went crazy!"
Link looked out the window where Dark was being chased by an army of chickens. He chuckled, since that used to be him. Once he made sure it was alright to leave the food, he walked outside to the barn where he saw him go in. Link opened the doors but did not see Dark.
"Link! Thank goddesses your here! Get rid of the cuckoos so I can get down," said a voice coming from above.
Dark was ontop of the rafters clinging to a beam while cuckoos were crowding around underneath where Dark was. Link was surprised by this and began to burst out laughing.
"You kicked them didn't you?"
"Maybe." Dark said embarrassedly. He began to freak out when Link left the barn, but was relieved when Link came back with the bucket full of seed. Link used the seed to lead the cuckoos back to there pen and then went back to where Dark was hiding.
"Are they all gone?" Dark asked. Link nodded his head. Dark proceeded to do a back flip down from the rafters and landed on one knee. Dark's cheeks were pink and he wouldn't make eye contact with Link. He was obviously very embarrassed.
"Now that that's over how about you start doing work in here." Link suggested.
"No," stated Dark.
"Why not?"
"They're all monsters! They could eat me!"
Link looked around and noticed that Dark was in a corner far away from any of the cows and horses. 'Oh yeah I forgot about Dark's fear of horses.' Link thought to himself. "But Dark why can't you take care of the cows then?"
"Cause they're gigantic horses! They could eat me in half the time a horse can!"
Link came to the conclusion that Dark just isn't an animal person, so he told Dark to come inside and help him make dinner. Once inside Dark asked Link a question.
"Hey hero how do you know how to do all this stuff? I should be able to do it too since I am your shadow and all."
"Listen Dark, you aren't my shadow anymore. You are your own person. I know this stuff because I came here a lot to help out when I was little. You didn't. We are two entirely different people now, well except we can do that mind echo thingy which is pretty cool."
"Okay thanks hero, and it's called echoing not mind echo thingy. Oh and Link?" "
Yes Dark?" Link looked over to him.
"Cooking is the one thing you know how to do that I don't." Link face-palmed and sent Dark upstairs to check on Malon. When Dark entered Malon's room he was bombarded with questions of him and Link and apologies for fainting.
Dark ended up telling her most of their story except for the liking each other part, he just wanted her to be quiet for once. They sat there talking till Link called upstairs for dinner, then they walked downstairs together. Dark set the table then helped Link bring out the food.
They all had small talk and discovered Malon's dad is on a trip so he won't be back for a week. Malon offered them a play to stay and they accepted it. After everything was cleaned up from dinner Malon thanked them and took them to their room. Link and Dark put all of their stuff away before walking outside to the corral.
The sun was setting and the two sat on a hay bale watching it.
Now Link was a sucker for romantic things, and he loved to see lovey dovey couples walking around, so that's probaly why he made his next move. Link turned to Dark and asked him something.
"Um Dark does this make us, um I don't know boyfriends?"
Dark whacked Link in the back of the head. "Ow what was that for!?"
"I needed to knock some sense into you. I haven't even asked you out and your already assuming that we are dating!"
Dark looked at Link with a smirk on his face and then he said something else. "Ok so now that I've done that. Do you want to go out with me Link?"
Link looked up at Dark and answered. "Of course." Then Dark brought his lips down to Links in a kiss. They kissed till the need for air became so overwhelming. Then Dark took Link's hand and they walked back into the house.
During the entire scene, Malon was hiding behind a bush fangirling and squealing. She was definitely going to spy on them more. They were just too cute!
