Dark P.O.V

"We don't have a list, so what do we need?" Link asks. I think about it for a minute. I make a small list in my phone, as Link watches over my shoulder.

Grocery List:

-toilet paper

-bread

-lifetime supply of candy & treats

-fruit & vegetables

-masks

-milk

-bathroom essentials (soap, deodorant, etc)

"That seems like enough for now." He says. 

"We can get the milk from Lon Lon Ranch, which is next to a stable so we can stop by Beedle."

"Sound like a plan." As he says that, we share eye-contact. I seemed to get lost in his beautiful cerulean eyes. "S-so, uhm, should we split up?" He says looking away. I turn a bright red. 

"O-oh, sure. I'll go see Beedle, you go to Lon Lon?" He nods and runs off, slightly flustered.

Link P.O.V

Idiot, idiot, idiot! You just had to ruin the moment, didn't you? And now you're as red as a hearty radish, great job. 

I walk over to Lon Lon Ranch to be greeted by my great friend Malon. It's said that she's the descendant of a farm girl who helped the Hero of Time in his quest.

"Hiya, Link! Oh dear, you're all red! Are you sick?" I laugh and shake my head. 

"No, just... flustered, I guess." I blush more.

"Oh. Oh? Are you falling for somebody~?" I am officially a tomato. 

"I-I mean... M-maybe?" She gasps. 

"Tell me the deets! I need deets!"

"Well... you know how I'm sharing a dorm with someone?" She nods, eager to find out who it is. "Well, it's him..."

"Him? Oh Hylia Link you're gay? You never said anything!" I laughed.

"No. I-I mean yes, but I'm bi.... With a preference in men."

"So gay."

"No actually. I'm under the "gay" umbrella, but I am bi, and to me that means I am attracted to all genders, but I have a preference in male identifying people."

(Biphobes freaking leave.)

"Oh, oh ok, sorry. I just never really grew up with these things at the ranch. Anyway... What's his name?"

"His name is Dark..." 

"Dark? I had a feeling."

"You know Dark?"

"Hell yea! He used to help at the ranch. Whenever you'd come 'round, he'd always hide in the pens. He'd blush whenever I'd bring you up." And my face was just turning back to normal.

"O-oh really?"

"Yea, he's like, head over heals for you, Link."

"I-I better go..." I said over my shoulder as I ran off. I stood outside to catch my breath.

You forgot the goddamn milk, Link.

I ran back in and Malon laughed at me and handed me milk. 

"Thanks Malon!" 

Does he... Seriously feel that way? That's... reassuring.

"Hey look, Link got the milk and came back!" Dark yelled.

"Haha, nice one, Dark."

"Hey, are you ok, Link?" 

"Y-yeah, I'm fine..."

"I don't believe you. Let's get you home."

I smile to myself. He cares about me. I'm... loved?
