Skyward Sword

When you get sick, Link is by your side 24/7. Sometimes it's nice, but most of the time it gets on your nerves. He gets a little too worked up about it which makes you frustrated.

Link knocked on my door, a little too loudly for my liking. I groaned and flipped over in my bed. I eyed the door, hoping it wouldn't open. But it did. Link entered, glancing at the piles of wadded-up and thoroughly used tissues on the floor. His concerned look should have made me happy that he was here, but, as of now, it was just pissing me off. I've only been sick for two days, and he has been constantly in here. It's weird. I just want alone time to heal. 

"H-hey, (Name). How are you feeling?" Link quietly whispered. I grunted and sucked in a breath, before coughing. My throat felt like someone had shoved a blade down it repeatedly. "I'll just take that as an answer." Link added a little humor, but, like I said, I wasn't in the mood. My throat burned, my head ached, my body felt weak. I just wanted rest. He pulled a chair from my desk the the side of the bed, being careful not to scratch it along the floor. As he sat down, I flopped on my back and stared at the ceiling. I felt his gaze on me for awhile before he grabbed a folded piece of cloth. I heard it being dipped in the water and the excess being drained from my right, but I didn't look over. Link gently dabbed my forehead and face with it. "Is there anything you need?" Link muttered, still pressing the cloth to my face.

"Some rest." I mumbled. Link paused his hand and removed it from my face. 

"O-okay. I'll be here in case you need me." I sighed. 

"Some rest...alone with no one else in the room. Just me." I snapped, my tone a little more hostile than I wanted it to be. Link looked hurt then a little deflated. He nodded numbly, and left. 

I felt bad afterwards. I shouldn't have snapped at him. He would have understood if I just I asked. I stared at the empty chair next to me before falling asleep. 

I woke up a couple hours later to a knock on my door. I turned over in my bed. 

"Come in." My voice didn't sound nearly as scratchy as before, and my headache had cleared a little. I guess I just needed rest. Link entered, poking his head in to make sure it was okay. 

"I know you asked for me to leave you alone, but I brought you something." He set a bowl of hot pumpkin soup on the bed-side table. I smiled at it. "Remember? From our first date." He smiled at it too. "Also...here." From his belt, he pulled out a letter. I took it from him a read it. It was from everyone: Pipit, Karane, Zelda, even Groose. "They all want you to get better. I'll let you get your rest." Link gently placed his hand on the back of my neck and kissed my forehead. He turned to leave. 

"Link...thank you. I'm sorry." He turned around before closing the door, and smiled softly at me.


Ocarina of Time 

Link does everything he can to make you better. He is really caring about it too. He runs out for medicine, food, water, more blankets, whatever you needed. He's learned how to deal with situations and appears calm, on the outside. On the inside, he freaks out. He can't stop the images of what might happen or worst case scenarios that flood his mind. It's hard to see, but every now and then it peaks through. 

I was laying on my bed just kind of staring at nothing. My head was spinning and I couldn't move at all or the world would spiral around me. It definitely didn't help my nausea either. I'd already thrown-up once, hoping that would be the end of it, but my stomach still felt terrible. I didn't want to throw-up again. Link had just left to clean out the bucket that I had recently sent my lunch into. I was trying to think about what might have caused this. I ate some fish soup for lunch, that could've been it.  No. The fish was just caught that day and there is no water-borne diseases right now. Maybe it was just the flu. Possibly. It didn't matter what it was, it made me feel like shit.  I couldn't go to work, which worried me, I couldn't make money that I needed, which worried me. Link was throwing out his entire day to help, which made me guilty. I couldn't think about this right now.
