A/N: I have read many wonderful Link/Sheik stories that I wanted to try to write one. I would like to see what everyone thinks of it, even the title, not sure about it anymore. I hope you guys like it and please review! :)

The Hero of Time's feet touched the ground lightly as he warped from the Sacred Realm. Link had successfully awakened the last Sage, Lady Impa. The Shadow Temple had been a great challenge for the young hero, but despite its horrors, he managed to survive the ordeal.

Rauru's words still echoed in the young hero's mind. "Link, the hero! Finally, all of us, the six Sages, have been awakened! The time for the final showdown with the King of Evil has come! Before that, though, you should meet the one who is waiting for you... The one who is waiting for you at the Temple of Time..."

Many things had happened in the last three months. One day he woke up in a seventeen-year-old body, Hyrule was in ruins, and he started to lose his friends, one by one. Not to mention, the life he thought he knew was all a lie... he didn't belong in the Kokiri Forest, he wasn't even a child of the forest, he actually didn't know where he was supposed to belong. He felt lost.

Along the way, a young warrior, Sheik of the Sheikah, guided Link through his journey by teaching him melodies that would help him warp to a specific place. He also helped Link in several occasions. When the hero was captured by the Gerudo, Sheik had witnessed the whole thing and was able to recover Link's things before helping him escape. After that, Link had lost his map to go to the Spirit Temple. Sheik knew the way, so he decided to help Link. It took them five days to get to the temple due to the heat, sand storms and exhaustion.

During their time together, Link became very attached to the Sheikah warrior and fell helplessly in love with him. One evening, he dreamt that him and Sheik were living happy lives together after the war. Both of them alone in the world decided to stay together and the two of them became a family. When Link woke up, he secretly wished for his dream to come true but was unsure on how Sheik felt towards him. Sheik was proud of his heritage and a strong believer of honor and duty. He was caring towards the Hero, but never gave a clue to see if he felt the same towards Link.

The hero smiled at the memory of the dream, still wishing for it to come true. Unfortunately for him, his dream was about to become a nightmare.

As Link entered the Temple of Time, he saw Sheik standing there. Link gasped and gave a Sheik a loving smile. "Sheik," he said still smiling. "You're the one waiting for me?"

As the young hero tried to get closer to the Sheikah, Sheik stepped back. "Hero, there is something you should know," he said coldly. "Please listen!" Link stared at Sheik, feeling a little hurt.

Sheik told Link more of the Triforce and the Sages. As he was done, Sheik closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Forgive me," he whispered shakily. "For I never meant to form an attachment to you."

"Sheik," Link shook his head. "I don't understand, what are you trying to say?" He walked closer to Sheik and stopped as the Sheikah raised his hand showing the Triforce on the back of his hand. Link was blinded by a white light for a few moments until it was over. Princess Zelda stood in front of him.

"No," he whispered in despair. Link felt his heart break in a million pieces and felt like screaming. Sheik wasn't real... Words wouldn't come to him. He felt betrayed, hurt, confused. It was Zelda all this time? All this time?!

As Zelda was explaining everything to Link, unknown to the hero, Sheik was standing behind the entrance watching the Princess and the Hero. He saw the pain in Link's face and his suspicions were finally confirmed, the Hero of Time cared for Sheik and it hurt him deeply. Tears were streaming down his face.

"Oh, Link," he whispered shakily. "I love you."

Sheik took a shaky breath and turned around, walking out of the Temple of Time, away from Hyrule, away from Link...
