So... I'm posting things that have been in my docs for a while. Did you guys know that Fanfiction docs only hold 50 docs?! I learned that the hard way...

Enjoy!

Okay. Breath in, breath out. I don't know why I was so worried. I practice my harp almost every day. I play concerts for thousands of fans. I am famous in four different countries. I can do this. I push open the door and walk into the room beyond.

"Hello. My name is Sheik. I'll be writing music with you this week." Goddesses, that sounded stupid. Could you have been any dumber.

The man turns to me and I don't expect someone so... young. He looks like he hasn't even left his teens. "Oh, hello. My name is Link."

He rises from his chair and smiles. I thrust my hand out. "It is a pleasure to meet you."

The man takes my hand and then pulls me into a hug. "Lovely to have you here."

I flush from the contact, but try to move on as if it didn't happen. "As you know, I'm not here to bring up your past or to uproot forgotten memories. Just a guy that is going to help sooth your hard past with music. 'Kay?"

Link smirks. "You're awfully young."

I raise an eyebrow. "So are you."

His face splits into a grin. "Ha! Me, young! I probably double your age, boy."

"Oh, really. How old are you then, old man?" I cross my arms and his grin widens.

"Twenty-six. And you?" Woah... He looks so much younger.

"Nineteen... Not twice my age." I pout. Really pout. I don't think I've ever done that before.

He shrugs. "Eh, close enough."

"So, I suppose we should begin." I sit in the chair opposite of his and pull my harp from its case.

Link takes a seat as well, smiling all the while. "Suppose we shall."

I know that I was only suppose to stay with Link long enough to help him write out his feelings, but I find that the time I spend with him is the happiest I've ever felt. Soon, I notice that I'm with Link more than I'm by myself.

I can see the changes in him as well. And though I don't really know him, it feels good to see him smiling.

I strum a few notes on my harp, to warm up, and it surprises me when I hear Link hum a short tune in harmony with me. I hadn't even noticed him walk in. He smirks at my shocked face. I can't help but chuckle and pick up the pace. He soon joins in and we are making music together. It dies down and we both laugh. It was quite a bit of fun. Link gives me a look before getting me to ready my harp.

This time he starts the song and I follow along. Link picks up speed and starts to sing. He sings about things that I dare not repeat because they are so private. Things about the war and what he was made to do. I simply let my breath be taken away by his angelic voice. We harmonize together like our bodies are in sync. It is riveting. And absolutely terrifying. Soon, we are closer and Link's fingers are in my hair. His palm against my face. I'm leaning into his touch and he goads me into setting my harp aside to join in singing his song as he starts from the beginning for the third time.

My face heats up because I've never sang in front of someone. But Link doesn't judge me. He smiles and strokes my cheek with his thumb. I feel like I know him better than I know myself. And then my face is fully in his hands. His lips caress mine. I wrap my arms around his neck. Then fear sets into my body.

What the hell am I doing?! This wasn't the plan! I was to help him cope with life! Not let him put his tongue down my throat!

I push against his chest and Link pulls away. "Sheik?"

"No..." I shiver and stand from my chair, backing away from him. "I'm sorry, Link. I really am. I just can't do this. I mean, I don't know you."

He looks to be on the verge of tears. "I understand."

My heart breaks as Link looks up to me with saddened eyes. I feel like a monster. Here he is, a lonely soul that I refuse to offer the comfort he desires. And, really, I want it too. So, I bite my lip and move closer again. "M-Maybe... We could try to- try to have some kind of relationship."

"Really?" Link brightens.

"Yeah, sure. I just... Go easy. We should get to know each other first. Yeah?"

"That sounds good." He smiles softly and I can see the hardship he has gone through, all the years his young face hides. "Maybe this will be just what I need."

He pulls me into an embrace and I chuckle. "Remember. Slow. Get to know each other before we do anything too rash." Link lets go and bites his lip.

"Yeah. Sorry. I got ya." Link ruffles my hair and then stands. "How about we go have some lunch? I'm starving!"

I laugh as we leave the building. I can't really complain. Link looks awfully happy and isn't that what I was trying to do.

Pretty sure this is for Imagination that for a veteran music request thing. (Don't quote me on that though if I am wrong.) Not sure if I did it right... It probably should have been sadder and not as mushy, but eh... Oh well.

Review. I quite like reviews.

Love and war, (War never changes.)
