The Wild Adventures Of Wind Waker: The Very Begining

Forest Haven; Outdoor Horrors - Chapter 14

"Wake up, sleepyheads!" Red yelled.

"Mmmmmmm..." Tetra and I snuggled back together.

"Oh, so you are just ignoring me?!" Red screamed, "Wake up, you idiots! Get outta sleepy mode, it's daytime!"

"Ugh...." Tetra grumbled as she woke up, "Ah! Link!! You slept with me! Go away!"

"He can't, Tetra. Plus, it was cold last night. Without him, you'd be frozen." Red smiled.

I pulled Tetra back to my side. It's still cold.

"Woah! Are you crazy?! Let go of me, Link!" Tetra squirmed around against me.

"Just let it be." Red said.

"Fine! It just because I can't get away from him that I'll let it!" Tetra yelled angrily.

"You know you like it. Link's warmth."

"Do not!"

"You do, though. You slept soundly all night. I didn't hear anything. Not a single snore, whimper or anything."

"Psh... Well, whatever! I guess the ocean breeze is a little chilly today..." Tetra muttered angrily.

"Again, I'm only going to say it however many times it's needed: You are very overdramatic. Both of you." Red said, "Link,"

"Hm?" I asked, a little confused. I'm not sure why he said my name.

"You do know you said you liked Tetra in your sleep, right?" Red said, and I jumped up.

"I do not!" I yelled, "She's just my friend, alright?! Nothing more, certainly nothing less, Red, I only like her as a friend!"

"You're glowing red." Tetra commented, obviously not sure what was going on. She had fallen back asleep.

"Link said he likes you." Red smiled.

"What?!" Tetra jumped up, as I did, and turned red, despite her darker skin, "You said a-what now?!"

"I-I didn't! He's lying!"

"You were- Probably... A little dazed...Still... Maybe you were half asleep?"

"I... I'm pretty sure- He- That was the night I...Er...Broke my arm...?"

"O-Oh! We-Well... That makes sense now, heh heh! I'm sure he never would've said that, Red!"

"I think he did, though, Tetra." Red commented.

"It's because he's frightened, 'cause he broke his arm." Tetra said.

"If he doesn't love you, why'd he save you, at the risk of his own life?"

Oh boy...He's exposing me...

"Yeah, Link? Why did you do that for me, anyway?" Tetra turned to me.

"..." I thought for a moment, pretending not to hear her.

"Link, did you hear me?"

"..."

"Yo, Link!"

"...?" I looked over to her.

"You hear?"

"No,"

"Why did you save me from that monster, anyway?"

"Oh, that? I just don't like seeing anyone get hurt, and especially after Aryll, you're the only one who can travel everywhere with me. Red is only water, Quill is pretty much only air, and Medli's only Dragon Roost Island." I explained.

"Is that really the reason?" Tetra and Red asked in unison.

"Yeah, why?"

"That's kinda sad, Link." Red said, sounding a bit worried.
