Dark P.O.V

We had made it back to the house and Link wouldn't leave my side. That night, we slept together, him in my arms. I admired his face. He was so cute when he was sleeping.

At one part in the night, Link started whimpering and crying in his sleep. I woke him up and calmed him down. He apparently had a dream about me dying. He had woken up a couple times during the night shivering or sweating or crying. I didn't want to wake him up again, so I carefully got out of bed and turned on my xbox. I grabbed my controller, sat on the carpet, and started playing Elden Ring.

Maybe 5 minutes after I started playing, Link wandered out of his room.

"Why did you leave me?" He whined.

"I wanted to play video games but you barely got any sleep last night so I didn't want to wake you." I said as I yawned.

"I didn't sleep? Look at you, mister. Did you even get a little sleep?" I shook my head. "Aww, sorry. Can I sit in your lap?"

"Sure."

He came and sat down on my crossed legs and gave me a quick kiss before turning back around.

"What are you playing? I wanna play." I laughed.

"It's called Elden Ring, I think it'll be too hard for you." He puffed his cheeks out, angry.

"Excuse me! I'd like to test that theory! Teach me how to play."

For the next half an hour, I taught him the controls and we played PVP (Player vs Player). He screamed a couple times. Like he shrieked. I let him try to fight Malenia, but he failed miserably. Also, I swear I went easy on him during PVP but he just failed. A lot.

At one point, he jumped and grabbed my arm. I made a sound of audible pain. He gave me a concerned look, but continued playing. That would be a conversation I was not excited to have.

After him getting too mad cause he kept losing to me, we turned off the console.

"Ok, enough video games. Can we make out, now?" I laughed and muttered a 'sure'.

He pushed me down and tried to kiss me. I didn't let him though.

"Nonononono." I flipped him over so I was on top of him. "That's better."

We spent a long time making out after that. It might have also gotten a little spicy... Now I have to find a way to cover my neck in the burning hot summer. Like it's almost as hot as Gerudo Desert. At least he has to suffer too.

"Dark?" Oh no. Here's that conversation I was dreading.

"Y-yea?"

"Earlier when we were playing Eldin Ring, I grabbed your arm and you seemed in pain. What happened?"

"I- uh- A fence tried to rail me-" What the hell kinda answer was that?

"Dark, can I see your arms?" My breathing became heavy and I fought back tears.

"I-I guess..."

He gently pulled up my sleeve and gasped. He did the same with the other sleeve.

"Dark... these are fresh. When did you last do this?" I was shaking and on the verge of a panic attack.

"L-last night-t."

"Aw, Dark..." I dropped to my knees and shook more, sobbing. "Hey, hey! I'm not mad!"

He kneeled down beside me and begged my shaking body.

"Is it anywhere else?" I removed my shirt to show cuts all over my chest and lower stomach.

"Oh, baby... There's so many..." He hugged me tightly, but was careful not to hurt me and my cuts. "Why did you do it last night?"

"I felt so bad that I put you through that, I-"

"No, no. Don't say that. You're here, aren't you?" I nodded slowly. "Right. So there's nothing to feel bad about."

He walked me to the couch and sat me down. He searched around for some bandages and rubbing alcohol. He finally found it and rushed back to me. Some of my cuts were very recent, and very deep, and very open.

"This is gonna hurt a little. It's worth it though. No risk of infection." He placed the alcohol on a towel and applied it to my most recent wounds. I kind of stopped breathing the entire time. It hurt more than actually cutting. He wrapped the bandages around my arm. He kissed the bandages and hugged my lower stomach gently.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't awake when it happened. I could have stopped you. I can help you be clean. I just want you to be ok, Dark." He kissed me on the forehead and we slowly fell asleep on each other.
