Sheik stretched as he walked out of the Inn, Link was at his side while Navi lounged on his shoulder. The trio moved lazily through the slowly awakening, but not yet bustling, village in silence. After a short time, Sheik felt Link slip a thumb through a loop of material at the waist of his breeches. The soft weight of Link's hand pulling at the material that laid against his hips was oddly comforting. He swallowed hard as he was struck by the innocent intimacy of the Hero's action, but found that he could not hold back the lazy smile it evoked.
It was strange to Sheik, that he could be so incredibly happy so soon after the mornings events.
Link took a deep breath in through his nose before letting it escape slowly through his mouth. He smiled and carefully lifted Sheik's hand from his chest, slipping silently from the bed. As he stood at the edge of the bed, he smiled down at the Sheikah's face. It was odd to sleep in the same bed with the man this time, though he supposed that was likely because he was aware of the older man being nude. He blushed, fighting back a giddy little giggle as he looked away from Sheik's face to see Navi curled up on the man's stomach. He bit his lip, swallowing back the happy noise that wanted to escape from lips at the cuteness of the sight.

Sheik shivered violently, cursing himself for exerting so much strength in the frigid weather. He was freezing, soaked with sweat from the effort it took to unthaw the Zora princess and paying for it as the harsh chill of the air seemed to pass right through him. But, he couldn't very well have left the princess trapped in the ice with her fellows. Not only would it serve to smooth things along with King Zora for Link, having her safe, but she was a Sage. If she were trapped within the icy prison like her brethren, all of Link's efforts to move ever closer to Ganondorf would be in vain.
At the thought of Link, Sheik smiled in spite of himsel
It was odd to Sheik, the feeling of moving without moving. He had moved himself over great distances using magic for years, but it was so fast that one barely had time to register that they were moving at all. But this, riding on a horse, it was different, disconcerting. It felt off, and to compensate he kept himself pressed tightly against Link's chest, "I still don't enjoy being on a horse."
Link shook his head and laughed as he gently spurred Epona on, keeping the horse at a quick and steady gallop. "Y'sound like a kid."
Sheik snorted, "Well excuse me for having something to be childish about."

Link shook his head, slowly removing his hand from the hilt of the Master Sword, leaving the blade in its place on the Pedestal of Time. He felt... strange. Looking down at himself he knew that it was his body, at least his body from seven years prior, but it felt odd. He reached a hand back, feeling for the bow Sheik had fixed to a belt upon it and frowned when all he felt was the hilt of the Kokiri Sword. Looking himself over once again, he furrowed his brow upon noticing that the bag Shei
Sheik stretched, murmuring softly as he slept, the troubled thoughts of the previous night replaced by a pleasant dreamless sleep. He was delightfully warm, so delightfully warm in fact, that the covers were beginning to make him uncomfortable. He shifted just a bit, attempting to push the covers off or at least down, when he noticed that his left arm was caught or trapped by something. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking sleepily as his mind was pulled into wakefulness and noticed pale blond hair staring him in the face. He carefully sat up as much as he could manage and looked down, spying the sleeping form of Link snuggling against him ato

Link chewed his lip as he lay on the bed, he couldn't sleep. It wasn't as though the bed were uncomfortable, the mattress was thick and soft, but he could not get the image of Sheik bloodied and broken out of his mind. He sighed heavily and sat up, he had dozed a bit and that was all he knew he would get for the time being. Looking about the room he pushed himself off the bed and walked to the door, searching for the bathing chambers. After opening a few wrong doors he smiled happily when he found the right door, but the smile fell away when his mouth began to hang open from the sight he saw before him.

Link grumbled quietly and hugged his arms to his chest. He kicked at the ground below his feet, a clump of grass from the dew covered ground launching forward. "I can't believe he just up and left like that." He mumbled.
Navi shook her head softly and lightly patted the top of Link's head as she sat atop his head, "Calm down, you know that Sheik said he'd be back. I'm sure he's got other things that need to be done as well."
Link dug his foot into the ground sullenly and sighed nodding minutely, "Yeah, but he's supposed t'be my 'Guide and Guardian', you'd think that was supposed t'mean he was gonna hang around or somethin'."
Navi chuckled
"I think I. I think I... love him." Link replayed the thought in his head over and over as his feet touched down against firm earth. He blinked, shaking his head as Sheik landed on his feet in front of him, Navi holding desperately onto one of the dangling crimson jewels in the Sheikah's ear. He tried to push that line of thought from his head but sighed softly when it was unsuccessful. Tilting his head slowly, he slowly took in his surroundings. It was dark, though there was a faint light in the distance. "Hey, uh Sheik, where are we exactly?"
"We're in a cave technically. It is underneath the graveyard, under the gravestone of the old grav
