Chapter 9

Ingo was a jerk. It was so hard to convince the man he needed a horse without letting him know about it. If he knew he'd try to work it to his advantage somehow.

Malon had grown into a pretty girl. Link smiled at her. If his feelings weren’t so hurt at the moment, the pretty girl might have won his heart.

Maybe.

She wanted to help, but could do nothing for him. He was frustrated again. She offered him to sleep in a horse barn. The hay in there was fresh and comfortable.

Tired, he took up her offer.

He settled down in his sleeping bag. He was pretty sure Sheik would not find him in here tonight. Navi snuggled in his hat very close to him. There was no light tonight. No fire in a hay barn.

She said, "Malon's pretty."

"Yes."

Navi eyed him. "You like her?"

Link snickered. "As a friend, Navi."

Navi ventured. "I think she likes you. Why not give it a try?"

"Try what?"

"Girls."

He was quiet. He knew what Navi meant.

"I don't know..."

He sounded so sad.

Navi sat up. "Because you love Sheik?"

Link felt a pain in his heart.

"I guess... I don't suppose I'll ever know. I do know right now I'm not in the mood to go try a girl."

Navi smirked at him "If I was a big fairy, would you want me?"

He eyed her and snickered. "Navi! You are a perverted fairy!"

The shared a laugh.

He thought about it though. Would he have? If she was big? He eyed her. Maybe, but they fought a lot.

Naw, he decided.

Wow. He was confused, thinking thoughts like that!

Link rubbed his eyes and said, "Good night, Navi."

They went to sleep.

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

It was pre-dawn. The sky was just barely starting to lighten. Link felt cold and lonely.

He didn't like feeling that way. He'd never had to feel like that when he lived with the forest children. They were always happy. Link thought about his life there before all this.

Now he seemed too worldly to ever go back. No, he couldn't go back and just live like nothing ever happened. It wouldn't work.

And could he stay an adult now? He wanted to so badly. After this was all over, did he have to return the sword and be a kid again?

Then he remembered nobody ever grew up in the Kokiri Forest.

Link sighed. He didn't want to be the Hero of time. It was too much work.

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

As soon as Navi woke they got up. Link tried to get the horse again but to no avail, even though Epona wanted to go so badly. She followed Link around neighing happily.

But the stubborn man, Ingo, would not budge. Link was frustrated so he went off to think for a while. Navi was angry too.

"He is so greedy! We need that horse! What are we going to do, Link?"

He shrugged. They were walking towards the lake.

Navi said. "Why are we going this way? The canyon is the other way?"

"I'm going fishing."

"What?! Why now?! Link this is not time for-"

He spun around and said. "I am going to go fish for a bit! I need to think!! Damn it!! I can't think with you screeching at me!!"

He turned back around and kept walking. Navi stayed there stunned.

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

He sat brooding with his fishing rod in one hand and his chin in the other. He wasn't budging from this spot today.

In fact, Ganondorf could fuck right off too.

He sighed. No bites today...again.

Link got up and put down his rod. It was getting dark soon and the he wanted to watch the sunset, maybe down by the lake.

He walked slowly out of the pond area and scanned the lake for any sign of Navi. He hadn't seen her since he yelled at her.

Navi was very able to look after herself, but he wished he hadn't spoken to her like that. She was very likely upset right now.

He sat by the waters shore, just watching the sun start to descend.

He was sort of spacing out when he heard a soft voice call his name. He turned to see Sheik. He had Navi sitting on his arm.

She fluttered up and down to him, closely. He could see she had been crying. Link reached up and gently touched her face. "I'm sorry, I was just angry at the world, not you."

She smiled and said." I'm sorry too. Look Link, I found him and made him come back with me."

Sheik made a noise and folded his arms. "She did not! I was looking for you for 2 days now. You were supposed to be at the Spirit Temple by now."

Link looked away. He wrapped his arms around his knees and didn't answer.

Navi said. "Where's your pack? I want to get some food."

"It’s up at the fishing pond."

She flew away leaving them alone.

Sheik studied Link for a moment then chose to sit beside him. He was close.

Link ignored him.

They watched the sun set for a while then Sheik pulled down his bandanna under his chin and said softly. "I'm sorry."

"You’re always sorry."

"Link, you don't understand. I didn't know that about you. It made me feel strange. I went to talk to Impa about you."

"Impa? About me? What did she say?"

Sheik smirked a little. "She said, no matter what you were a week ago, it's what you are now that matters."

Link snorted and glanced at him. "Yeah right."

There was a silence, and then Link saw Sheik get up. Link buried his face in his knees. He didn't want to see Sheik leave him again.

But he was surprised to feel a warm body sit behind him, spread his legs so he sat Link between them and wrapped his arms around him, resting his head on Link’s shoulder.

Link couldn't speak. He was so stunned by this gesture. It felt so nice.

Sheik said gently, "You have the weight of the world on these shoulders, don't you? I am so sorry for adding to it."

Link had a lump in his throat. He reached up and held the strong arms about him.

"You’re...confusing. I hate it when you take off."

He squeezed him gently. "You confuse me too. You are so complex, Link."

Link wondered about those words, but he wasn't in a mood to get into it.

"You spent the day fishing?"

"Yes, I needed to think. I wasn't getting anywhere and I just needed to rest."

Sheik caressed his cheek. "And now? It will be dark soon? Where will you sleep?"

Link hadn't thought past what he was doing right now. He was right. He needed to think about where to sleep for the night.

"I guess, the Lon Lon Ranch. It's where I slept last night. "

Sheik nodded. He removed himself from Link's back and stood offering him and hand up too. He took it and Sheik pulled him up.

"We'd better go then." He turned towards the pond. Link watched him in confusion.

"You’re coming with me?"

"Yes. Is that ok?"

"Well yeah, but we are sleeping in the barn, just so you know."

Sheik smirked and said. "No, it's fine. Let's get your pack and go."
