Chapter 6

It was very late. Well past midnight. Link woke up. He never felt very good when he first woke up. It took him a second to get his bearings. Then he realized he was in a bed with Sheik. He must have crawled in with him during the night sometime.

He turned his face to see two red eyes watching him. Sheik was lying on his side head propped up on his arm, looking at him.

Link said quietly, "Do you feel better?"

"I feel sore. I don't want to move yet."

Link nodded then said. "Do you remember what happened?"

"Yes. We can talk about it in the morning, if I decide to tell you."

Evasive as usual, Link sighed and felt a little put out by that statement. He decided to go to sleep. He was about to turn over when he felt a hand on his shoulder, stopping him. Link looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing… Well, I mean nothing except I'm really cold."

Link remembered there was no more wood. He didn't want to get up in the dark cold room to look for more. But another blanket would be good. He got up and searched a closet. He found a soft wool one and brought it back to the shivering Sheik. Link unfolded it and spread it over the other blanket then got back in himself. Sheik seemed glad he was back because he moved closer and made a sigh of relief.

Link lay beside him thinking. It felt so natural to be there with him like this. It made him wonder.

Sheik yawned and said with a small smirk, "It's ok, Link, I'm not able to do anything."

Link felt angry at those words. He looked at him and said. "It's mostly the running away I can't figure out!"

Sheik's eyes grew big. HE was quiet for a moment then smiled a little. "Not tonight. In the morning, if I feel better, maybe I can tell you something. Just not tonight."

Link sighed. He'd have to be happy with that until morning.

....................

He woke very early and sat up to see if Sheik had gone.

He hadn't, he was still there, lying with his back to him asleep.

Link reached out and touched him. "Sheik?"

The young man stirred and opened his eyes. He blinked and turned to look at Link.

His eyes looked around and he saw the early morning light. He tried to sit up clutching his ribs. He groaned under his breath.

Navi sat up stretching. "Oh, you’re both up?"

Link smiled at her then said to Sheik. "Do you want to get up?"

Sheik winced. "Not yet. Later maybe."

Link decided he was more hurt than he had thought.

He looked at Link. Those red eyes were so full of... everything. Link couldn't read the look he gave him.

"What?"

"Nothing, I was just looking at you. You look kind of scared. Are you?"

Link frowned. "No, I just... I mean…" He felt his face flush. He couldn't find the damn words!

Sheik smiled. He leaned forward and kissed him sweetly on the mouth. "Stop thinking, I am not an ogre you know."

Link touched his lips. He liked Sheik's kisses. No one had ever kissed him before. Then Link wondered if Sheik knew about him. That he was mentally still a child. Link felt sick. After this journey, would he go back to being a child? How could he after this? He wasn't so innocent any more.

Sheik saw the confusion in his face, He smiled and said. "Link, relax. You think too much."

Then Sheik became serious. "You must go into the Well soon. The longer you delay the harder it will be. I have to go to the Shadow Temple ahead of you. "

Link sighed "Come with me then. I'm sure together we can finish it much faster."

Sheik smiled at him and shook his head. "I cannot help you. You are the Hero of Time. You have to do it alone."

Link frowned and slumped back onto the bed. He rubbed his hands over his face and groaned. "I don't much like it, you know. I feel like I had no choice."

"You are destined to do this. Don't fight it. Accept it and you'll be better off."

Link eyed him. "Easy for you to say."

Sheik laughed at that. "My part is to watch you and help you in a round about way." Sheik smirked.

He caught the small joke and laughed too. Then he said softly, "Hey, you said you were going to tell me."

Sheik shook his head. "No, I decided not now. Please don't ask me." He looked a bit hurt as if some thought had occurred to him.

He sighed and said, "At least tell me why you run off."

He shook his head. "I'm feeling tired. I think another potion would do me better. Maybe you could go to the potion shop again?"

Navi groaned and yelled, "I am not going! I nearly broke my back last night! The bottle is too heavy for me!"

Link got up and stretched. "I'll go." He pulled his boots and hat on. "I’ll Be back in a while."
