We came to a stop and I looked around. The wide country side of my hometown had been replaced with tall buildings instead of trees. I wondered where we were.
"Castle Town." Dark said as if he read my thoughts.
"This is so different from my home." I shivered at the idea of such a big city. Castle Town was where Hyrule Castle was, no surprise there. I hoped we wouldn't see anyone we knew, but I had a feeling we wouldn't be so lucky. There was a billboard with Zelda's picture on it. Wait. What?
"Dark, why is Zelda on that billboard." He shrugged and we went on our way.
"She is the princess. Why wouldn't she be." I was in shock. I knew her dad had power, but he was our king. Why in the world was she at our school, instead of here in her city. Dark seemed to know what ran through my mind. He had a talent for reading people.
"She likes to stay close to Link." I processed that for a moment.
"Why?" I know Link was in a noble family, just as Dark was. They explained that they were brothers this morning, twins in fact. I wasn't quite sure I could except that. Sure they looked just alike now that I thought about it, but they were so different in personality.
"She has always had a thing for him. Since she met him as a child. Our parents were thrilled. The princess liked their son. What else could they ask for?" The hurt in his voice was evident.
"Dark?" We pulled over and he just sat there, facing the window. I heard him sniffle. Dark was crying?! He never cried, unless I was hurt badly. My instincts caused me to unbuckle and join him in his seat. I sat on his lap and he looked very surprised.
"She-eik!" There it was that cute stutter. I surprised myself as I pulled his face close to mine and licked away the tears. I pulled away, satisfied with what I had done and hugged him. The salty taste lingered in my mouth, but it was nice.
"Better?" He looked up and our eyes locked. The relief in his crimson orbs filled me with glee. Slowly and hesitantly he nodded. "Good."
"Sheik." I stopped from getting off him as his arms looped around my waist.
"Yes?" He held my gaze once again.
"I want you to know that if we decide to ever part, that I want you to be happy." His words left me breathless. Why was he saying this? Was he gonna leave me? Panic wormed its way into my heart.
"I am not going to leave you. Don't worry. But if I do, I want you to be happy. Even if it means you won't be with me." My breathing calmed down and I punched Dark in the chest.
"Don't you say that, ever again." I was serious and I know he heard it.
"I won't." He got out of the car carrying me with him, he set me on my feet and walked to the trunk. I wasn't sure what we were doing. He unlocked the trunk and got out a basket. My heart soared.
"A picnic." I was so excited. He nodded and I went off to find a perfect spot, while he followed, not quite as fast.
