A/N: The picture I have in use is from dA by an artist lychi and the picture's name is just simply Zelda.

Also, another note: I do NOT own the characters or places unless said otherwise. Nintendo has the rights. =P Honestly speaking, all I have is the idea for the story, few monsters, creatures and bit of changing the places. Oh, and couple of OCs here and there. ^^; I'm certain everyone can figure out which belongs to me and which doesn't. =)

SITUATIONS FROM THEIR LIVES

CHAPTER 1: Haircut

"NO! Don't you dare!" Dark screamed as he ran around the room, jumped to the bed and half crawled, half ran to the other side. He turned around in a flash and stared at Link in near fear. "You will not touch my hair!" The dark Hylian nearly growled.

Link sighed for the umpteenth time and partly leaned against the table. He had his right hand in his hair and in his left hand was scissors. "Dark. Just calm down, will ya?" The Hero stated as calmly as he could even though he was losing his temper at there. "It's not that bad. Just a simple haircut. Okay?" He continued and started to make his way towards Dark.

"NO!" The dark Hylian shrieked and backed to the wall. He looked once around himself before he pulled out his knife. "I'll do it myself!" Dark shouted bit fearfully and brought his knife into his hair behind his neck. He was breathing fast while being fully uncertain of what he was supposed to do.

Link stopped on the second Dark pulled the knife out. "WOW! Easy there!" He half shouted and backed back to the table. "Just calm down and put the knife off." Link half begged while trying to make calming actions with his hands. "We'll clear this out, okay? Here, I put the scissors off..." He continued and carefully and slowly put the scissors onto the table. After that he raised his hands into surrender. "Let's just talk... It'll be fully alright, Dark. I promise." Link half whispered while keeping his voice calm and soothing.

Dark looked fully uncertain but soon he lowered his knife down and started to pace a bit. He ran his free hand through his hair and tried to make some sense into the situation. Link had told him about few weeks ago that he needed a haircut and ever since he had been avoiding the chances for such situation as much as possible... Until today... Link just had gotten him surrounded and there was no chances for him to avoid the situation anymore.

"Come on, Darky. Just put the knife off and I'll explain what haircut means." Link talked very gently and tried to look as unthreatening as possible. After a while longer Dark finally sighed heavily and put the knife away. "That's good. Now, come on. Let's sit on the bed and I'll explain it all. Okay?" The Hero continued calmly and started to make his way towards the bed. Dark sighed again and sat down to the bed. Very soon Link crawled next to him.

The first thing the Hero did was to hug Dark. "It's okay, Dark. I give you my word for it." He whispered before taking a hold of Dark's hair and pulling it over the dark Hylian's shoulder. "Here. Look at this." Link continued and carefully started to separate the strands of hair until he had only couple of those in his hand. "See this?" He inquired and showed the split ends of the strands. "This is the reason you need a haircut. It is just to clean things off and give your hair better chances of growing longer again." Link explained before he carefully pulled a bigger group of strands into his hair. "I'll only cut about this amount off. Okay?" He stated and showed about couple of inches long area. "Definitely not more than that." Link reassured.

Dark had sat there in full silence and listened to Link while watching him work with his black hair. "You promise?" Dark inquired very quietly. Link nodded confidently.

"I swear it." The Hero replied calmly. Dark sighed but nodded. "Okay, let's get to the bathroom and get this done. It's over faster than you think." Link reassured with a small smile. The dark Hylian definitely wasn't believing that but he did trust the Hero so he made his way into the bathroom and sat down close to the sink. Link followed him very soon with the scissors.

Dark closed his eyes and nearly flinched at each time the scissors cut some of his hair away. "Is it done yet?" He inquired in near whine after each and every clip. Link sighed once again and shook his head.

"No, it's not done yet. I'll let you know when it's done." He replied while desperately trying to stay calm. Yet, that answer went straight through the dark Hylian without staying at all inside his head. He kept inquiring over and over again if Link was ready with the work yet. Eventually the Hero put the scissors down to the sink and let it clang loud enough to let Dark understand that part. "It's done." Link stated as calmly as he could.

Dark blinked few times in confusion. Right after that he pulled his hand through his hair before already standing up while frowning even more. He checked the mirror that was over the sink and frowned even deeper before sighing and relaxing. "You didn't..." The dark Hylian whispered and sat down back to the small chair. "Thanks... And sorry..." Dark half whispered and slumped a bit nervously.

Link sighed fully relieved and cleaned the place before half sitting and half leaning against the sink. "So... Willing to explain what you have against a simple haircut?" He inquired calmly.

Dark chuckled bit nervously while scratching the back of his head. "Um... Yeah, well..." He started before sighing and shrugging. "Years ago when I lived at Ganon's Castle few of the monsters decided that I needed a haircut. I... I didn't know what it meant and well..." Dark started but sighed heavily and dropped his gaze into his hands. "They cut my hair... Hellishly. Left it fully odd and..." He trailed off and raised his gaze up to Link. "You know how the scientist looks when he's got something gone wrong with his work and it blows that odd colored smoke up and messes up his hair? Well... My hair wasn't far from that... Except for having less of hair, though..." He continued sorrowfully.

Link blinked few times in both surprise and sorrow. "So they really messed up your hair?" He inquired and Dark just simply nodded. "Damn. No wonder you weren't eager for it." Link half whispered.

"That wasn't all, though..." Dark continued quietly and dropped his gaze down again. "I tried once to cut my own hair in hopes of getting off of the shitty work they did but... Let's just say that it made it even worse... They really destroyed it... Took about a year before my hair could be even called as hair." He explained and shrugged. "But I think they just hated me anyways back then..." Dark half mumbled.

Link sighed sorrowfully and hugged the dark Hylian tightly. "Well, I'm never going to do anything of such. It's a promise." He whispered but very soon smiled, let go of Dark and came in front of him. "Now, let me tell you a little story from my childhood."

Link sat down to the floor in front of Dark and started to talk: "As you know me and Mido weren't on the best of basis. So, at this one summer Mido put some sap into my hair and..." The Hero trailed off when Dark gave fully confused look at the new word. Link chuckled bit nervously. "Um... Sap is very sticky thing that the trees use as their "blood" in a way." He explained as well as he could and once the dark Hylian nodded his understanding, Link continued: "So, Saria tried her best of getting it off of my hair but it wasn't much of help. Eventually we had to cut it off which left my hair quite... Off... Probably more or less what you had by those freaks. And, well... I hid my hair under my cap which is probably the reason I keep the cap quite a much. It just became a habit, I think." The Hero chuckled a bit nervously but continued his story very quickly. "Anyways, I went for revenge. Not by sap but differently. I kinda kept pushing Mido into the small stream of water whenever I had the chance and, well... During rainy times, I did few holes into Mido's house's roof. Sure, I got wet but Mido had it harder. He had to clean his house and all."

Link was bit of grinning once he ended his story. Dark gave a bit of a sorrowful smile. "Thanks... I think..." The dark Hylian whispered and before he got to say anything more, the Hero already hugged him.

"Don't worry. The hair will grow back in no time. And you'll get to grow it longer now." Link replied. Dark nodded and relaxed. He had known that the Hero wouldn't do anything to harm him but he just had bad memories about the whole action and that just took him over. Luckily things were cleared out for him.
