.Fifth Development.

.Ike's POV.

I quietly woke up to the alarm clock known as my stomach, knowing very well that I needed something that tasted decent, unlike yesterday's dinner, two pieces of toast, only if you include the mouldy piece I received, a fried egg that was green and some small pieces of ham which were the only good part of the meal. I groaned quietly as I sat up from the soft comfort that was surrounding my tired body and quickly stood up, ignoring the pain in my left ankle.

"Maybe I should hassle Link to make me breakfast?" I walked towards the plush sofa which was still the spot where my belongings are. As I searched through the large bag I pulled out a dark blue tank-top that was my make-shift training gear. I could feel the heat from outside seep in through the partially opened window and it was enough to make me sweat. "Un, I hope Link is joking about training in this weather…" I took off the night shirt that was crumpled up and sighed at how it felt cooler than before, only by a small amount though. I looked at the small scar covering my chest and traced it lightly with my fingertip, a soft sigh escaped my lips and I removed the fingertip from the scar.

I looked at the tank-top and groaned as I placed it on, realising that this will bring some heat back, I looked towards the ground and noticed that instead of wearing shorts, I decided to wear track-pants to bed, the source of most of the heat. I shimmied them off and stepped out of the leg warmers, picking them up as soon as both of my feet were out and safely secured to the ground. I pulled off the black briefs quickly and replaced them with a new pair that were a soft blue colour which turned into a dark blue at the bottom.

"Ugh, pants now…" I quietly mumbled and looked into the bag, pulling out a pair of black cargo shorts and sighing at the feeling. I made my way to the windows, opening the white curtains and looking outside to see the whole mansion, the forest, training ground and if I looked to my right I could just make out the bath house. The sudden light hurt my eyes but I shrugged it off and made my way to the small bathroom, finding my toothbrush and comb and continuing with the daily necessities.

"Ike, are you awake?" I heard a soft voice and a knock behind my door and smiled to myself at the recognition of the voice. Link had arrived just as I finished preparing. "I want you to meet someone!" I made my way to the door, avoiding the remains of previous outfits on the floor. When I made my way to the door I heard a low chuckle and Link's familiar 'giggle'.

"Morning Link, Link's friend who seems familiar…" I looked at the dirty-blond noticing he was in a green tank top and a pair of white shorts, a summer version of his battle outfit in a way and a tall red-haired male sporting a red and black tee and a pair or black cargo shorts, each wearing sneakers like myself. Something about the red-head made him seem familiar to me, almost as if I've heard about him or seen him…

"Morning! Ike, meet Roy, he's the brawler that disappeared, remember I told you about him?" I noticed Roy's arm snake around Link's shoulders and I swear I felt my veins pop. "He's next door to you and he'll be joining in for the first part of your training! After that he has to go see Master Hand again for some reason." I nodded my head and noticed a small smirk on the red-heads face, it made him look like a weasel-no-a ferret and I wanted to punch him, right there…

"Nice to meet you Ike. I'm Roy, friend of Link, Marth and Pit, I do hope I can include you in the list." He stuck his weasel-like hand out at me and smiled one of those, 'I really don't like you but I'm doing this to impress this person,' type. I took that hand in my own and grimaced at how tight his grip was. "Well then, formalities over, let's get to training!" I quickly grabbed my wrist and rubbed the pain away from the death grip I just experienced.

"Ike? Are you alright?" I looked at the hylian and smiled softly before telling him my need for his food which he chuckled to. "Well we'll step inside my room for a second to grab you some food I already made. Don't touch any of the drinks in my fridge though, they're potions from Hyrule." Link's bright attitude made each day worth smiling for… He was gentle, funny, caring and cute but what makes things better is that he is strong emotionally and physically.

We booth quietly walked into Link's tidy room and I made myself comfortable in his kitchen, hoping that I could watch the whimsical kitchen things that Link does and wow, did that just make me sound like a rainbow filled princess in la-de-da fairy land… (A/N: Like Girahimn! Haaa… I just had too…) I inwardly groaned at the choice of words I had used and felt all of my dignity crumble into pieces.

"Are you fine with a sandwich for now or do you want some soup or milk?" I quietly thought to myself as I looked around the room, there were framed bits of grass, one that looked like an eagle and one that looked like a horse-shoe, pictures of Link and some kids, many different pictures.

"Um, I'll have that sandwich and a bit of milk 'for now' and I'll invade your house for dinner." I placed both of my hands behind my head and started to whistle casually, hoping I got an approval to being over for dinner. I watched as Link bent over, giving me a nice view and also grabbing me my order. I felt my face flush at the sight of Link's behind swaying side-to-side at the tune he was humming as he searched for something.

"Found it!" Link's head and arms popped out from the fridge and he did this pose with a bottle of milk and a sandwich in one hand which was raised high above his head and his free hand was on his hip in triumph. I thought back to the moment when Link laughed at my pose but I couldn't help but think that this was funnier than mine, so I burst out into a silent chuckle which I managed to control when Link turned and looked me straight in the face. "Here you go, hope you like it and save some milk for me later, I'm going to get thirsty."

"If I don't die of dehydration first then sure I'll give you a lick of milk." I watched as Link's face dropped and as soon as I took a bite out of the sandwich he gave me, he took a massive bite leaving about two chews of it left. "My sandwich! No!" I looked to the ground and held the bread in both of my hands as if it were a pet goldfish that had just died, luckily the sandwich was a fish one… "Good job Link, now we have to flush it down the toilet… My poor pet fish sandwich…"

Link burst into laughter and not long after that, I did as well, both of us not hearing the knock on his door which soon led to a certain energetic red-head storming inside with a blue haired prince, hot on his trail. We looked at the two 'intruders' and waved an innocent hello to them both, not really caring as to why they were here.

"Link, Ike, you better come with us… Something terrible happened last night…" I turned my head sharply and quickly nodded my head, signalling my agreement to go along with them, we all waited for Link who looked towards the ground, took in a deep breath and raised his head with a determined mask upon his face. "Link, this may be hard for you though…"

We all rushed out of the room, racing out of the building and into a slightly familiar path.

.Ganondorf's POV.

I hope those brats liked my surprise. I knew about Link's secret spot in the forest and I knew that only he and Ike knew about it so it was the perfect place to lay my first trap. I had sent a letter to Sheik, saying it was from Link and wrote in it the contents in which set him up. I called upon my twilight powers and summoned a duplicate of the letter, it was a perfect copy of Link's writing and it also had a brief scent of rain forests, his scent.

Dear Sheik,

I'm sorry about not listening to you and so I would like to meet up with you in the forest, I have a secret spot in there which the directions to are on the back of this letter. I will meet you at midnight and please make sure Zelda is fully asleep and in the farthest depth of your mind. We need to talk about Ganon and how we will stop him, bring your harp as well.

From, Link.

I laughed at the perfect evidence and smiled as I saw from out of my window the sight of the four swordsman running to the forest, Link's face was the best one of all, the look of horror and determination mixed together sent chills up my spine. This hero will be mine and I will have him. I won't let some fucking wannabe newbie get what belongs to me, the fucking great lord of darkness, I even have a shadow Link which makes the normal Link mine in its own way. I grabbed the harp and smiled as I coated it in darkness and when Link touches it, he will become that worthless mutt again because it is imbued with twilight…

Just you wait hero, you will succumb to the darkness…

.Link's POV.

We entered the clearing in the forest and I could hear quiet sobbing coming from my spot in the woods, when I listened in carefully, I had figured out that the voice belonged to Pit and there was also the sound of something dripping.

"Pit!" Marth called out to his lover and held us all back, his face cold and slightly heart-broken when the always cheery angel stepped out with tears staining his face and a dull expression which was worn as a mask to hide the pain. "Would you like to explain what's happened to Link and Ike first or should I?" I looked at Ike and then to Roy and then back to Ike as I continued to wonder about what could have happened.

"I will…" Pit took in a deep breath and looked at the tall tree in the middle of Ike and myself before speaking up, "When I was doing my flying practice, I saw that there was a clearing in the forest which I had never seen before. I also noticed red and so I quickly flew down, thinking that I had found pretty flowers but instead, I- I saw…" Pit broke down after he muttered those last words and so I raced forwards, looking in the spot I used to relax in.

I looked ahead and found myself falling to the ground, my face pale and my body trembling at the sight before me. Sheik's bloody body was pinned to a tall oak tree in the pose of the goddess (Skyward Sword Goddess pose, I'll explain it more at the bottom.) His hands were pinned into his stomach with his own needles and his mask was ripped, showing blood still falling from his mouth, one of the many places blood was seeping from.

"S-Sheik?" I breathed out shakily, reaching my hand out to try to touch the lifeless body but I quickly moved my hand back as I felt the familiar zap from the twilight realm. I could only helplessly watch as more blood dropped into a large puddle beneath him, there were cuts and stab wounds all over his body and also a few minor burns.

"Link… We need you to use your powers to get him out of whatever's blocking our way… I know it may be a lot to ask but please… Zelda's life may be on the line." I looked at Marth who was carrying a sleeping pit in his arms. I nodded my head in agreement and slowly curled myself up into a small ball knowing that I won't get the same comfort from anyone.

"Link… I believe in you…" I felt two strong arms wrap themselves around my shoulder's proving my thoughts wrong and making me slowly shed a few unwanted tears. "Please, don't cry…" I looked up at the familiar voice and smiled sweetly at the blue haired man behind me. Ike. He made my heart race and he made the pain go away with a simple touch or sentence.

"Alright. Everyone, I may be gone for a while… I have to go to the twilight realm…" I took in a shaky breath and slowly let it back out, relieving myself of most of my stress, "I will be able to see you but I may reappear as a "beast" or so the people say. Zelda should be fine as long as if she was at the farthest depths of their shared mind because knowing Sheik, he put a cage around her in case. Her body will be fine but Sheik's needs to heal inside her mind so when he falls of the tree, quickly call out these words, "Zelda of Hyrule, holder of the Triforce of wisdom, I command you to awaken now," do I make myself clear?" each of the members before me looked at me determination on their faces and smiled.

"I'll be heading off now, the gate is nearby… don't touch it you three. It will hurt you and paralyse you, quickly finding its way to your hearts and filling them with darkness. You will become nothing but spirits straight after that so I advise you all to stay here and not talk about me because I can hear you when you are spirits, I have enhanced senses." I waved good-bye to the three swordsmen and walked further into the woods, walking up to the true entrance of the clearing and breathing in before being pulled into the gate by a strong hand. Like the first time I went inside.

-Inside the small Twilight Realm-

I looked around and felt the familiar chain around my ankle, I could hear more and breathe in more scents that put me off for a few seconds. I was on all fours, looking around for the monsters but finding none so far. The distant sound of crying flooded the area and a floating blue spirit orb appeared, after enhancing my senses I noticed that it was one of the first ever brawlers, Taboo. He was banished in the early days of Brawl and he was killed somewhere in the forest not long after that.

"It wasn't my fault that the light beads fell! Please don't hurt me…" His small body curled up into a crouch as his hands were covering his ears. So this world previously suffered from the Twilight realm which means one of my ancestors came from here... I suddenly picked up the scent of the light beads and so I followed it, finding twelve of the sixteen needed and placing them into the Light vessel which was lying on to ground next to Taboo. (I forgot if it was 12 or 16 so let's go with 16… I haven't played TP in a year-ish?) I slowly traced my steps back, finding my way back to Taboo and quietly making my way into the clearing where one of the shadow monsters came up and attacked me, the gate surrounding us both and leaving me in the open clearing with Sheik's soul on the tree.

The monster swiped its large grotesque hand at me, catching me off guard as it then quickly swiped at me again with its other hand and making me hit the fence, electrocuting me for a brief moment. I growled at the monster and quickly jumped onto its body, biting into its neck three times before being pushed off. Blood poured from the wound on it's neck and a metallic taste assaulted my mouth and throat and the smell started to fill my nose. Suddenly, But all too quickly in a way, the monster had hit me with its stone-like head and made me fall to the ground, landing on my side. I felt it scratch my wolf shaped body, successfully hitting my side and shoulder, without even thinking I pounced back onto the black body and bit into its neck, most likely because I felt like I needed more blood spilt all over the ground which means that I was suffering from Wolf-like blood-lust but still earning a loud screech from the evil twilight being and I quickly jumped off of its body, watching it crumble and fade into small black squares up into the sky. The red energy fence disappeared and I saw the remaining four light beads appear around Sheik's body, I quickly jumped into them all and finished filling the light vessel, regaining the small amount of light to this once twilight-filled world.

I watched as four souls slowly turned into the shape of three swordsmen and an angel being carried by one of them. That is until I let out a whimper and saw nothing but black and tints of red obscuring my vision and conscious.

.Ike POV.

We all made it to Sheik's body, pulling out the needles and carefully placing him on the ground. I watched as Marth repeated the words Link quietly said and we all closed our eyes as we were blinded by a bright light, revealing a princess shooting open her eyes and quickly looking over us all, noticing something we all never did, a wolf.

"Oh no!" Zelda quickly raced towards the bleeding animal and gently placed her gloved hand on i's mane. Roy quickly grabbed her away, thinking the beast would attack her even though it was slowly bleeding out from its side and right shoulder area. "Roy! Get your traitorous hands off of me! I need to help him!" I looked over the wolf and noticed a small triangle marking on his hand glowing, Zelda's hand started to glow the same colour as she zapped Roy away and race towards the wolf.

"That thing is Link!?" Marth exclaimed loudly as he caught on to what was happening, the wolf laying on the ground was our best friend and my love interest Link. Zelda's hero. "Oh god… He said he may appear as a beast but I mean, that is a bit too scary… I mean fuck man, look at his teeth they have what looks like blood in them" Marth quickly slapped his hand over his mouth and groaned as he saw Zelda glare at him through teary blue eyes. I've known Marth for a while and he never-ever swears or curses in public!

"Don't speak of him like that! I heard you tell him to use his powers! You should know that he would change, we wrote it on our registration form!" Zelda's hand was held out and away from Link's as she slowly started to make fire appear within it. "He saved me in that form from many things! He saved my kingdom in that form and he got hated in it! Only Midna and I liked him like this and you, his 'best friend' find it scary!? Your attitude is what's scary!" Zelda threw the fire straight at Marth's feet who quickly jumped away from the burning area.

I walked over and squatted down to Zelda's height, placing a hand on her shoulder and one on link's soft and fluffy head. I quietly rubbed the small spot of his head and started to rub his ears like I did in front of Lucas and Ness. I watched as Zelda smiled sweetly at me for once, her usually angry face softening to one of pure happiness.

"Zelda, what do we need to help fix him up?" The Hylian princess tried to stand up, holding the creature but she couldn't even move him, so I gently picked up the bleeding body and carried him like he was a normal puppy, which he was in my eyes.

"If we had a red potion then we would just feed him it and he'd be all better… But, I used mine all up on the last time Link was badly injured… If we don't have a red potion then we need to order one in using brawl points… Ike, can you carry Link to his room? Quickly? His key is still around his neck, I'll be up there as soon as I have medicinal equipment." I quietly nodded my head and stopped in my tracks turning to Zelda as I remembered what Link had told me this morning.

"Zelda! Link has a few red potions in his room! He told me about not drinking it or else this morning. Hurry with grabbing things and I'll try to make him drink some of it!" Zelda quickly nodded her head and mumbled the words, Farore's wind before vanishing into, well, the wind. I raced into the building and made my way to Link's room, grabbing the key from his neck and placing it in the lock.

When I made it inside, I placed Link's wolf body inside his bathroom, inside the small bath-tub. I raced to the fridge and saw a rack of six bottles, three having a red liquid in them, two containing soup and one that was empty, most likely the one I used this morning. I grabbed all three bottles and carried them inside, placing them on the side of the basin and opening one up, smelling the pungent aroma from within.

"Mercenary, how is Link?" I heard the small amount of coldness return to Zelda's voice and sighed before truthfully responding to her, telling her about how I just got inside and was about to give him the pungent drink. "I'll give it to him… Then I'll clean up his wounds and return him to normal." I looked at the princess amazed by how calm and collected she was at the moment. "Ike, hand me that bottle and hold Link's head up for me."

I handed the wicked concoction and grabbed Link's soft head, slowly lifting it up so he could drink the evil thing. Zelda placed the bottle under link's nose for a second, making him open his hound-like eyes for a brief moment before slightly opening his now large mouth. Zelda poured the contents into his mouth, avoiding his large canines and smiled as she saw Link swallow the vile thing.

"Alright, just place him there and I'll patch him up." I nodded my head and smiled as the princess started to fumble around, earning whimpers as she would mess something up. I grabbed a small cotton ball and slowly dabbed the wound on Link's side, earning a growl of slight pain from his throat. "Ike, Thank you…" I smiled at the princess again, before finishing up the patchwork needed to help Link.

Suddenly, Zelda and Link's hand started to glow and the princess slowly placed her glowing hand on link's paw, casting a giant blinding light to appear and make me temporarily blind. Zelda huffed and moved her hand back, nudging my side and slowly motioning for me to pick up Link's now human body. She nodded her head in a way of saying, "I'll explain it soon" and walked off before pulling two chairs beside Link's bed.

"So, what do you want me to explain? Link's transformation and things or about how I managed to awaken from the back of Sheik's mind and return Link to normal?" Zelda spoke up as I slowly lowered myself into the less comfortable plastic chair. Her face showing no emotion apart from fear. A fear of rejection and a fear of losing something.

"Well, I'd like to know about both if you don't mind." I answered honestly, watching as Zelda pulled a ribbon out from her pink dress and using it to tie up her long straight hair, leaving only the front bangs hanging. With a nod of her head she started to speak about the past.

"Hyrule was riddled with Twilight. The light was gone and everything was turned to a musky orange and black colour. We called the areas affected the Twilight Realm, and whenever a person is inside it, they become Souls, unaware of the change. When Link entered the Twilight realm the Triforce of Courage kept him from becoming a soul and turned him into a beast. A beast of legend. I'll explain the Triforce later, I was hauled up and locked away in Hyrule Castle, imprisoned in a large shield of Twilight which took a large effort to break. When Link was inside, he charged the castle, defeating monsters and Ganondorf and he saved Hyrule. After the fight, all Twilight disappeared but Midna, the princess of Twilight who helped Link left with tears in her eyes." I slowly took in all the information and calmly waited for Zelda to catch her breathing for a moment before speaking up. "Even with all Twilight gone, Link could still turn into the beast and when he did, people would flee yelling out things like Monster! And thinking he was one of the shadow fiends."

"So what you're saying is, Link stopped turning into the wolf-form because people continued to yell at him even though he wouldn't growl or anything?" Zelda gave a firm nod of her head and I looked at the ground with disgust. "How disgusting… None of them they gave him a chance just because he has fangs, doesn't mean he will harm you… But anyway, let's carry on with the conversation, this time about you and Sheik and how you turned him back into his human form."

"Thank you for accepting this… Everyone looks and then passes judgement instead of giving him a chance… But anyway, Sure. Sheik and I are one in a way, when Link and I were children Ganon came and reined on the happy town of Hyrule, demanding the Triforce. Since I hold part of it, the Triforce of Wisdom, he wanted it for himself and so I fled with my assistant and close friend Impa. To disguise myself from Ganon's henchmen, I asked Impa to disguise me as a Sheikah male. Sheik became a part of me and he had a place in my mind where he would tell me things. Sheik was the soul of a young boy whose family was killed by Ganon's dark reign, he was the last Sheikah and he was only five at the time which meant that he wasn't even old enough to hold a play sword. Ganon took the liberty of strangling the poor kid and shoving his face in his parents just before he died… Sheik became a member of Ganon's group to help Link and got caught one day, since we share the same body, Ganon who holds the Triforce of Power came into contact with my body in way, making the marks on our right hands shine." Zelda looked at me, as if she was expecting me to be confused and so I quietly nodded my head hoping she would carry on with the story.

"Okay, we can end it there because I can guess that Link appeared and saved you, correct?" The Hylian princess gave me a firm nod of her head and showed that small smile. "Okay then, tell me about how you changed him back then."

"Well you see, the Triforce is in a way, Light. Since Link turns into a beast in the Twilight and a human in the light world, the Triforce can turn him back to normal if he cannot himself or if he leaved the twilight realm." The mention of the word Triforce appeared again and I tilted my head to the left, earning a look from Zelda as she tilted her head as well.

"Okay, so you've mentioned the Triforce quite a bit so would you please explain to me what it is exactly?" Zelda moved her hands in front of her mouth as it dropped open in shock.

"Oh that's right! I said I was going to explain it! Well the Triforce is the treasure of Hyrule, it was split in three by the three goddesses, Farore of the wind, Din of the flame and Nayru of the water. Nayru took the Triforce of Wisdom and gave it to the Royal family. Farore gave the Triforce of Courage to the hero clad in green and Din took the Triforce of power and hid it away. While Din protected the Triforce of power alone, an evil army defeated her, taking the Triforce of Power to their lord, Ganon. This story is over hundreds of years old, Link and I inherited the Triforce from ancestors while Ganon has lived through many hundreds of years. With the Triforce split in three, the powers of it cannot fully be used but Ganon wants Link's and my own Triforce piece to make his whole and give him ultimate power which also gives him the right to rule Hyrule." I quietly mumbled in concentration and looked at Zelda and Link's right hands, Link's mark proudly showing and Zelda's hidden by her gloved hand.

"Alright then, I now know about your past and can safely say that I will try to help protect you both. I know Link doesn't want you hurt and all and I'm guessing he fought one of those shadow fiends based on how long the claw mark is…" Zelda looked over at the wound that was becoming a scar quickly thanks to the drink, it was on top of many others and seemed to blend in. Her face fell and she was holding in her tears. "Zelda, every hero, fighter, soldier and man gains wounds and scars from protecting the ones they love," I lifted my shirt and showed the many scars on my abdomen and chest. "And we all see them as treasures, each holding a different memory of bringing happiness and hope. I've already said this to Link and he said that he was proud of his scars because he was fighting for you and all of Hyrule. But most of all, himself."

"Ike…" I looked at the princess and smiled softly as she pondered on what she was going to say next.

.Zelda POV.

I quietly wondered to myself about everything. I can tell Ike has feelings for Link and I know that Link has feelings for Ike and I also know that I can trust Ike to protect Link. I looked up from my thoughts and noticed the blue haired man gently gazing into Link's face, his hidden hand holding onto Link's and a small smile on his face.

I decided then that I don't have to protect Link from this man and that I can let these two have a relationship. I've always wanted to protect Link from something and now I've found the one that I accept and that brings my protection to an end…

"Ike, I accept you…" He looked at me, a quizzical expression adorning his face which made me laugh softly. "I know your feelings for Link, don't worry I only like Link as a best friend, brother, companion and one who I can protect. Anyway, I've been protecting Link's heart and I know that I can trust you with it, you are one of the only ones who hasn't been scared by his beast form and the only one who has talked him into liking his scars so I know that I can trust you with his heart." Ike stared at me, a blush on his cheeks and his talking becoming stutters.

"I-I, T-thank you, I-I do L-Like no L-L-Love him…" I laughed slightly louder this time and turned the sound of laughter into small fits of giggles as he suddenly spoke up again saying, "H-How did you know though?"

Sticking out my right gloved hand I spoke up saying, "Holder of the Triforce of Wisdom, Hello~ Oh and, I'm a girl? I notice these things." He laughed at that instant and I joined in too, holding my hand in front of my mouth and laughing like a princess should. Throughout our Laughter, I heard a soft groan enter my not elf-like ears. "Link, are you alright?" Link groaned again and slowly sat up, clutching the spots where the monster hit him and looking at me and Ike.

"I didn't realise you two were so friendly." His voice was hoarse and he had a pained smile upon his fairy-like, ordorian face. Ike and I both looked at each other and blushed at the knowledge of us not liking each other and suddenly becoming friends because of Link. He really did create wonders. "H-hey Ike! W-what's with the sudden h-hug?!" When I looked up, I noticed Link was blushing like mad while Ike was cuddling the cute hero.

"I was worried sick…" I slowly leaned over to Link's face which was resting on Ike shoulder and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before heading towards his door, when it opened Ike looked at me with a soft smile as he went back to breathing in Link's scent.

"I need to head back to see Marth, Sheik told me that Ganon showed up and harmed him… Link, I was worried like Ike was and I'm so glad that you woke up. Ike, good luck I know that he feels the same too by the way~" I gracefully skipped out of the room, heading straight for the forest where Marth and Roy would be, regretting their actions and Pit would be confused. He is the only other one who accepted Link as a wolf though, but that's because he's an angel, trained to show compassion to everything even to monsters or demons they had to slay.

.Ike's POV.

I heard Zelda's final words and smiled as I found out that Link likes me as well. Score! I continued to cuddle Link and started to mutter useless nothings that I was saying to myself to calm my steadily increasing heart-rate. I could feel Link's heart pick up as well and his body temperature started becoming warmer. I pulled back, staring into Link's deep eyes and I felt a small spark as his soft hand rested upon my chest, right over my frantic heart.

"Ike… It's beating really fast… Like mine…" I blushed as Link slowly replaced his hand with his long ear, he closed his eyes and started to listen as my heart-beat picked up momentum, his eyes opened and looked up at me from behind his thick eyelashes. "It's really fast now…" I didn't need Link telling me that as I heard the sounds of it thumping inside of my head. It was the only noise I could hear apart from Link's soft voice.

"Link… I want you to know something important…" He continued to stare into my eyes and I felt that I didn't need to say the words because he knew what I was going to say. I placed both of my calloused hands against his gentle face which he eagerly removed from my chest, his hands sliding their way up from my chest onto my rarely red cheeks.

We both leaned into each other and in a matter of seconds, out lips were just in front of the others, my prize was in sight and my forehead was rested against Links, his breath hovering on my lips and mine on his. We both looked at each other and pulled the others face into the middle, making our lips meet in a soft and gentle kiss that made feelings known to each other. Link's arms wrapped around my neck and my own wrapped around his back, avoiding the wounds. We stayed with our faces together and arms wrapped around each other for a few more seconds until we both reluctantly pulled away for air.

We both spoke up at the same time and said something very important to ourselves as individuals and as two people as one.

"I think I love you…"

Author Notes!

-Hides in a box and leaves a note outside of my box- Squeak!

Link: Ahem, Dear readers, I'm so sorry for the wait and please don't kill me for leaving the story there. This announcement is 'important'… Ike your turn…

Ike: The chapters are now either going to be developments or brawls. This may become confusing for you dear readers but please go along with it! The next (real) chapter will be the first brawl or the sixth development. A development will be like this fluffy stuff while a Brawl will be a fighting tourney/ normal fighting in the arena one. Brawl chapters are going to be shorter and will still hold a strong point in the story.

Link: Um, The next chapter will be an extra which is what SHE! Was planning on making this but instead made this which is better… mostly the end…

Ike: Sorry for the wait and creepiness and please wait patiently for the next. "Kwee?" What the hell is Kwee supposed to mean Lyco!?

Lyco: Kwee! You're scary! I forgot to mention that the goddess is actually Farore/Nayru/Din and that that is how they are posed in this story. If you haven't play SS then it's basically hands in front of your stomach with your eyes closed.

Link: Kwee… Thanks for reading this and I hope you look forward to the extra and next real chapter… I just wanted to say it because everyone else has…

Lyco: Stupid Fly at 11:59... I wrote ten pages and finished it while you attacked mah face and ears with annoying buzzing sounds! Now excuse me while I re-write my first idea for chapter five… It involves Toon Link so yeah…Kwee!
