The ending is kinda... eh. But I can't think of anything else I want to add.
Enjoy!
Every year the school has a field trip. Students are paired up and placed in hotel rooms with a single large bed, cheaper for the school that way. Not that our school needed to save money. Dang rich people. I happened to have gotten paired up with the most gorgeous bad boy in the entire school. Not that I was supposed to know yet, but I had a friend in the student council... and you know. I was excited beyond excited. I was so excited that Zelda had to stop me from hyperventilating when I told her.
So, here I was on the bus. Did I mention that we have to sit together on the bus on the way there? I was seconds from squealing as he made his way down the isle. Then he saw the seat number and my heart dropped as he cringed.
"Haha. Dark has to sit with the nerd." One of his buddies, Ganon I think, chuckled and went to his seat with a guy named Zant.
"Yeah. He... he... The nerd." Dark laughed dryly and went to put his bag up in the racks. I about died when his shirt came up a few inches and the toned muscles of his abs peeked out. My head whipped up towards the front of the bus when I heard giggling. I saw my friends, Midna and Zelda, making kissy faces at me. I immediately turned to the window and sunk down in the seat. Anything to hide my blush.
The ride went normally from that point. Dark talked to his friends, who sat all around us, and I stared out the window. Soon, we were stopping at a place for dinner since we left after lunch and everyone split off into their groups.
I sat with Midna as Zelda went to order our food. "So, how is the ride with tall, dark, and handsome?" I flushed.
"It's okay. He doesn't talk to me, so it will probably be uneventful." I shrugged, trying to hide how disappointed I really was.
Midna leaned back and smirked at me. "But you get to share a room with that. For a whole week. Aren't you excited?"
"I would be if he didn't hate me." The table was becoming more and more interesting to me.
"How do you know he hates you?" I glanced up and was surprised. Midna was giving me a sympathetic look.
I sighed. "When he got on the bus and saw me sitting in the spot he was supposed to sit, he cringed."
"You have to be kidding me. Really?" I nodded. "What an arse. I'll teach him a lesson."
Midna started to get up from the table and I hurried to stop her. "No! Please don't. I want to have a peaceful week, Midna. If you upset him, who knows what Dark will do to me."
"Fine." She waved her hand to shake me off and we sat back down.
Zelda eventually made it over to us with our food, a large pizza. Midna and Zelda ended up talking while I sat in silence. They would give me looks, but I tried to ignore them. We finished eating and everyone got back on the bus. It was a couple hours later that most of the people were asleep, including Dark's buddies.
The view hadn't really changed as I stared out the window and I wasn't tired yet. A nudge brought me out of my thoughts and I glanced over at Dark. What could he possibly want? I was surprised when he offered a spare set of headphones to me. "Want to listen to some music?"
"Probably not. We don't really have the same taste." It was an opportunity I hated to pass up, but I really didn't want to listen to some weird rap battle, or whatever the popular crowd listened to.
Dark gave me a look and I blushed. Thankfully it was dark in the bus or he would have seen it. "Well, how do you know that?" Was he... smiling? At me?
My heart thudded in my chest. "Fine. What do you listen to?"
He started naming off bands in his playlist. And the result was interesting. "The Indigo-Go's, Desert Thieves, Double Helix." I chuckled and Dark stopped.
"What's so funny?" I placed the headphones over my ears.
"We like the same bands." I missed the soft smile on Dark's face as he played Sands of Time, by Desert Thieves.
Time passed and I found myself struggling to stay awake. We had shifted towards each other so the cords wouldn't be pulled when we moved and I found Dark's warmth to be sleep-inducing. A happy sigh left me when an arm wrapped around my waist. I couldn't think of where it would have come from before losing the battle with consciousness.
"Time to wake up, everyone! We are here!" I started from my rather deep sleep at the voice of my gym teacher, Darunia.
"Why does he have to be so loud?" I turned when I heard a sleepy Dark speaking right into my ear. My eyes widened when I realized I had been sleeping with my head on his shoulder, one of his arms around my back and the other over my stomach. The realization seemed to come to both of us as we scrambled to move away from each other. Did we sleep like that?! I was so embarrassed! A quick glance to Dark and I knew he was feeling somewhat the same. But wow, a blush looks so cute on him.
"We should... get going..." Most of the bus had filed out and it was nearing our turn. Dark was quick to grab his bag and jump a few seats to get off early. What the hell? Does he really dislike me that much?
I grabbed my bag and as soon as I had stepped off the bus, I was being pulled aside by a group of girls. Plus Komali and Mido.
"O. M. Goodness! You and Dark being together is, like, the sexiest thing to ever happen to this school." Ruto squealed and my ears drooped. How did they-
Zelda practically jumped on me. "There are a couple good pictures of you guys on Gossip Stones and they are adorable." Well, that explains it.
"C-Can I see?" They all squealed this time and I flushed.
"Yeah. Sure." A phone was pushed into my hands and I recognized it as Midna's.
A Gossip Stones' page was pulled up and I noticed it was Aveil's. Wait, she took the pictures? I thought she was a lesbian? A status was at the top of the page and read: 'I may not like men, but aren't these two just the cutest couple you have ever seen?!' Under it was a few pictures of Dark and I curled around each other. We looked pretty content. A small smile tugged at my lips, but I dropped it as soon as I was pulled into a hug.
"Oh, Linky! I'm so proud of you!" I gasped as my ribs were practically crushed.
"Zel, please. I'm dying." She let me go and I sucked in air. I noticed Midna's phone was gone, but I knew she had taken it. Sneaky girl, that one.
I became worried as I thought. "Has Dark seen these? Or his friends?"
"Probably not and if they haven't, then you have a couple hours before they start calling you gay. Not that, that is an issue. I mean, you are gay." Midna patted my head and the girls slowly dispersed. I sighed and headed into the hotel. Hopefully I could still have a good week.
The room smelled like fresh forest as I stepped out of the bathroom. Dark's bags were sitting on one side of the bed, but he was no where to be found so I took the chance and showered. I dried my hair for the most part and then flopped down on the king sized bed to perhaps take a nap. Dark was probably out with his buddies. The first few days are free days, so maybe he would stay away until the curfew each night.
I sighed and sleep took me.
"Hey, wake up." I batted at the finger poking my side.
"Seriously. It's time for dinner. You should really wake up." I groaned and rolled away from the annoyance.
Suddenly, a body was sitting on my stomach. "If you don't wake up, I'll rape you."
I jolted up, flipping whoever had sat on me off the bed and tumbled off after them. Then I jumped up out of the floor, wide awake. "I'm up!"
"Jeez. I wasn't serious." I looked to the end of the bed to see Dark on the floor, rubbing his head. "But I guess it worked."
"You-"
"Yeah, yeah. But who else would have came to find you. I'm the only other person with a key to this room." He grinned up at me and then stuck out his hand. "Help me up."
I grab Dark's hand and his wrist, taking only a moment to feel the niceness of his muscles, then helped him from the floor. "Thanks for coming to get me."
"Eh, I figured you would be asleep. You're always asleep." I flushed because it was true. I slept through most of my classes, but the teachers let me because I was a year ahead of everyone else in work. It wouldn't be a bad thing if I was a sophomore, but I'm a freshman and it has only been a couple months since school started. I don't have a lot of friends, so I spend my free time doing school work. That's why I'm known as the nerd.
"You must be trying to grow a little more." Dark chuckled when I pouted and then patted my head.
"I'm not that short." He stepped closer and smirked.
"The top of your head reaches my chin. You're short." I pouted again and shoved past him. But couldn't help the smile on my face. Was Dark playing with me?
My eyes opened and the thing I was curled up with shifted. So, being the heat driven person I am, I followed it. "Could you get any closer."
I jumped away because that was Dark's voice. "Sorry!"
"Naw, It's fine. You seemed like you were cold. I'm told that I make a good heater." He glanced away, but I could still see the slight disgust in his eyes. It saddened me, but then Dark's crimson gaze was on me.
I blushed and Dark seemed to question something. He pressed his hand to my forehead and frowned, moving his hand away. "You are pretty warm. Do you feel alright?"
I rubbed the back of my neck nervously as I sat up. "Yeah..."
Dark climbed off the bed and then turned to me with a smile. "That's good."
My day could not get any better.
And I was right.
"Ha! I always knew you were a little fag." I cringed, but had steeled myself for the beating I could possibly get.
"I say we give him to Ghirahim. I bet that sick freak would have a lot of fun with tiny." If I wasn't sure that I was going to get a severe punishment for it, I would have narrowed my eyes at the insult to my height. Not to mention the fact that they would hand me over to this... Ghirahim guy so he could have his way with me.
"What are you guys doing?!" My eyes widened as Dark pushed through the crowd of his friends.
"Just deciding what to do with short stuff." Ganon grinned and Dark scowled.
"Do you realize the trouble you would be in if you did anything to him? He is a scholarship student for a reason. The school board would probably kick you all out of school for beating up the smartest kid we have." Dark finally made it to me and grabbed my upper arm. "Come on."
I whined as he pulled roughly on my arm, the hold he had on me was tight. "Dark."
He kept going, hand clenching further. "D-Dark. It hurts."
We stepped into the courtyard of the hotel, out of the alley they had just dragged me into, yet Dark still had a grip on me. "Please let go. It hurts."
He glanced down at the hold he had on me and Dark's eyes widened. He let go and mumbled a quick 'Sorry'.
"S'okay." I wiped my nose on the edge of my sleeve and tried to hide the tears in my eyes.
"Hey, Link. I didn't mean to-"
"No. It isn't that. I just… This happens everywhere I go. People pick on me." I walk over to sit down in the grass and Dark follows me.
"Well, you are pretty short." He smirks.
Then I realize something. Dark has no idea I'm gay. "I wasn't talking about my height."
"What is the big deal then? Why would they make fun of you. I mean, you're a cool guy. Is it the way you dress, cause there is nothing wrong with sweaters. I think they are rather cu-" He cuts himself off with a cough. "Maybe they just feel... stupid around you. I know I do."
"It's not that either." He scowls out into the greenery.
"Then what is-"
"I'm gay." I bite my lip and await the scorn filled words. When nothing comes, I glance over at Dark. I almost want to look away.
The stare he is sending me is intense. "You're... Really?"
"Yeah." I bashfully play with my hair and then I hear Dark get up. "Where are you g-"
"I'll see you back in the room tonight. I..." He sighs. "I need a little time to think."
Dark doesn't turn around and I'm thankful because he won't see the tears in my eyes.
The room is dark as I lay in the bed, nose red and eyes puffy. I know Dark is trying to think of ways to tell me he hates me without being too mean, but the result will be the same.
Slowly and quietly, the door opens. The only way I know is because a gentle light streams in from down the hall. Darkness takes the room again and then a giggle leaves me when I hear Dark curse, having hit his foot on the end of the bed.
"Shi- You're still awake, Link." I sit up and blink away stars when Dark turns on the lamp. It seems to daze him too. "Okay, not my best idea."
I laugh again. "It certainly messed with my eyes. Currently, I can't see a thing. How are yours?"
"Medium rare." I bite my lip to keep in another giggle. "If you like that, then there is more where that came from."
"I didn't know you were so goofy." He scoffs at me and then flops on the bed.
"I'm positively hurt. Really, I am." I lean forward, until my face is above Dark's, and move the hair from his eyes gently.
"Well, Mr. Goofy, I think it is about time to go to bed." He frowns.
"Wait, Link." I sit back and Dark turns to lay on his stomach. "Can we talk? About earlier..."
"It's fine." I can feel the tears coming again.
He gets up and moves to sit next to me. "No, it isn't fine. I acted like an arse."
"I'm used to it. What does it mat-"
My words are cut short when Dark is suddenly over me, mouth set in a grim line "It matters to me." My eyes widen.
"Listen, Link." He gulps and I watch his Adam's apple move. "I-"
I don't know what caused me to do it, but I had just leaned up and caught Dark's lips. His eyes were huge.
"I- I'm so sorry, Dark." I flush and am unsure what to do. Dark is frozen above me. His mouth open in shock.
Then everything seems to go by extremely quick. Dark's lips are against mine, his scent everywhere. I gasp as he pushes further into me, hips buckling lightly into mine. My fingers tangle in his hair and I find it to be as silky as I thought it would be. His tongue pushes against my lips and I groan as I allow him full access to my mouth. One of Dark's hands roams down to my hip and then ventures into my pants to grab at my arse through my thin underwear.
I throw my head back at the sensations and Dark takes the chance to attack my neck. "Da-Dark… Ah..."
"I'm sorry, Link. I just can't... I've wanted this since I first saw you." Teeth graze my jugular vein and I can't keep in the needy whine. "I never would have guessed that you... that you were in reach."
The curtains swished and I caught a glimpse of something dressed in bright blue and somber gray.
"Hey, Link! I got your text! I brought chocolate ice cream and-" I pushed Dark off of me, his hand in my pants lightly tugging them down as he fell back. Goddess Din, I forgot that I messaged Midna and told her to bring me something yummy for my almost rejection by Dark.
"What the hell, Link?! If you wanted me to stop, you should have said so!" Dark growled from the end of the bed, not having heard Midna as she was speaking quietly. I'd only heard her because I could see her there. Then his eyes looked over at the balcony door, where Midna had just come in from.
"Well... This is awkward. I thought he would be asleep or maybe not even here. But I find that he is ravishing sweet, innocent Link. I guess I can just go." She sticks her tongue out at me and then smirks. "You worried for nothing, huh."
Once Midna is gone, Dark looks to me. "You worried about me? Why?"
"You acted like you hated me when you saw you had to sit next to me." He leaned forward and I moved back in slight fear.
"Link, really. Who isn't nervous about sitting next to their crush." He smirked when my eyes widened. "That's right. I have a crush on you."
I pushed him away as my ears reddened. "Stupid."
"But I'm your stupid." My breath halts and I jump when a hand cups my cheek. "Aren't I?"
A shiver runs up my back from excitement as Dark leans in closer. "Yeah, you are."
"Never thought I would get to call you mine." Lips run up my jawline. He is teasing me.
My patience has run out and I huff. "Would you kiss me already!"
"Gladly."
Guess Link shouldn't have worried about the trip. Hehe.
Review. I love reviews! They let me know what you guys want from me.
Love and ice cream, (Mmm. Ice cream.)
