My neck hurts…
I rubbed my neck as I walked out of the building, then felt a sudden queasiness in my stomach again.
"Hiya, Dark Link!" I looked over and saw Midna waving as Link and Naa came up the side of the street.
I waved back to her and called, "Three?"
"If you're late, I'll kill ya!"
"Good luck with that." I called back, flatly, and turned.
"Hey, Dark!" I turned and saw Link running ahead of Naa.
"Oh, hey Link, hey Naa. I didn't see you there."
"What're you doing at the police station?" Naa asked.
I shrugged and started walking with them. "Looking for a job."
"I thought you had one."
"Do I have any hospitality?" I retorted.
"Good point." She paused a moment. "What're you gunna do?"
"I'm going to be a security guard."
"Are you sure you're strong enough to do tha-!"
I shoved my fist into her arm.
"Ok, point taken." She answered and rubbed it. I threw an apologetic glance at her and shoved my fists in my pockets.
"Oh, you left this at school." Link said and pulled out my book bag.
"Oh… Thanks." I answered and smiled.
He froze.
I realized it.
I coughed and rubbed the back of my neck again.
"So… Anyway, what did we learn in geometry?"
He shook his head and smiled, "You should smile more, Dark."
I blushed and looked forward. "I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"Don't deny it," He retaliated and put an arm around my neck. "You just smiled at me."
"I did not." I stated and continued ahead.
"Yes you did."
"No I did not."
"DARK LINK!"
"Ah shit." I muttered and stepped aside as she tried to push my head down and landed on her own.
"And this class, is why you'll end up being an old cat-woman."
She stuck her tongue out and grabbed my neck—causing it to pop quite loudly—and gave me a noogie.
"God damnit, Midna!" I snapped and pushed her away, quickly shaking my head.
"That sounded like it hurt." Link replied.
"What did?"
"Your neck popped…"
"Oh… Actually, that felt really good… Thanks Midna."
She huffed and looked away.
"God, you're such a baby." I rolled my eyes and started walking again.
"You mean goddess-!" I shoved my foot in her face before walking away again.
"The hell was that for!" She demanded, holding her now-bleeding nose.
"Not cool." I answered and stumbled a bit, only to be caught by Link's arms.
Link's strong arms…
"You ok?"
I blush and nod. "Yeah… Just tripped."
"Yeah… Over your own feet." Midna answered.
"If you weren't such a jackass, I would kick you right now." I growled.
She laughed and shook her head, splattering blood droplets everywhere.
"Ow."
"Serves you right." I stated and stood up straight.
"You two make a cute couple." She giggled.
"WHAT?!"
Link and I were both darker then my eyes.
"Like I said, you two make a good couple."
"What is she talking about…?" Link asked, slowly.
"Nothing," I stated and started walking away from the three of them. "If you ignore her, she'll go away."
"Oh, Dark Link, don't be like that, Hun."
I caught a glance from Link that was clear, pure, and unaltered confusion.
My hand snapped up and hit her face, pushing her down into the street as I walked down the street and kicked a rock out of my way. I laughed inwardly and rubbed my neck—why was it hurting so much?
"Oh, come on, Dark Link!" Midna retorted and I quickly stepped aside, allowing her to smack (not knowingly) my neck but, overall, miss her lunge to grab me. "Play nice!"
"You're such a whore."
"Thank you, now play nice."
"Go home… Wait-!"
"You finish that sentence and I'll kill you."
I shrugged, but didn't retaliate… Not with Link here that is… I turned and saw that Naa had left… Where'd she go? I looked to Link and waited as he read my face—I could probably find out by talking… But just looking at him… I lost my voice.
"Oh… She said something about going back to school to go to some sort of club… I'm not sure, I was watching you mess with that girl."
"Oh, that's right, you two haven't met yet—Link, this is Midna, Midna this is Link."
"Hey, how's it going?" She replied and allowed me to slip away.
Thank the goddesses…
I collapsed on my bed after locking the door and opening the window, letting one of those rare cool breezes drift in… Not much longer until summer's here and I'm…
Alone?
I don't really think so…
I propped my leg up to form a triangle and gently pulled my arms into a pile on my stomach. My chest ached as I rolled towards my closet and fell asleep.
