Chapter 16: No More Chill

•••••••••
Link yawned quietly and sat up on the soft bed he'd grown to love. He had the whole entire mattress to himself, it made him worry. He grabbed the pillow and hugged it tightly while slowly looking around the room. Sidon was grumbling in the bathroom. Link hopped off the bed with ease, still snuggling the pillow half asleep, while his small blanket clung to his shoulders. Prince Sidon had his arms resting on the rim of the tub as he sat on the ground with his knees tucked against his chest. Link sat on the ground in front of him, seemingly being unnoticed by the large Zora. "S-Sidon?" He asked in a raspy voice. His throat was sore for some odd reason. He leaned in and touched the Prince's arm, shaking him. "Sidon" He said more clearly. His dreamfish only grumbled more, or maybe it was indecipherable talking. It seemed that he was talking in his sleep, that's what the knight thought, but why would he fall asleep in the bathroom? Link crawled between the large Zora's legs and snuggled against his chest, the red hands slowly embracing the small Hylian's body tightly. "Please wake up" Link whispered over and over. "M...My pearl... Is that you?" The Prince mumbled hoarsely. "I'm sorry" He yawned. "I passed out and fell on the floor" He tried to get up but felt too dizzy. The room was spinning for him. "I'm getting you on your bed and making you some food" Link got up and looked at Sidon head to toe. For a Zora, he looked oddly pale. "I really don't need it" Prince Sidon held himself up with the sink and put on a fake smile. "Not eating is getting to me" He thought. The Hylian Champion picked him up and trudged along to the bed and set the Zora down. He took the blanket that had clung itself to his shoulders and wrapped his lover up with it. "I really d-" Sidon interjected. "No no no. If I wake up one more time and see you on the floor I'm forcing you to eat an entire buffet" Link placed his hand on his hip and wagged his finger at him.

Link placed a cooking pot over the fireplace and placed ingredients into it. The sound of simmering meat filled the room and got the Prince's attention. "What are you making?" He asked. "A surprise" The knight replied with a grin. Sidon rested his head on his hands as he watched his pearl work, it was like watching magic unfold. When the dish was finally finished, it released a wonderful smell through the whole room. Link smiled and laughed at what he created. He took two plates out, one obviously larger than the other, and placed the food on both. It was Salt-Grilled Crab, it looked super tasty. Prince Sidon chowed down on the luxurious meal in front of him. Link glanced up from his own plate and smiled, he was barely eating. "What?" Sidon asked with his mouth full. Link pointed around his mouth and laughed, making the Prince wipe off his mess. The knight kissed his cheek and smiled. "Dork" He said. "Oh, don't even start, you dork" Sidon booped his snoot. The little one squealed in joy. "Hey hey! I've got an idea! What if we do something exciting, maybe split up and find a nice hang out spot in the woods?" The knight asked him. His Prince only had a face of confusion and worry. "Oh, honey.. I would love to, but I'm worried about you getting hurt again" He said. "So you don't trust me to care for myself?" Link responded in a salty tone, puffing out his chest and crossing his arms. "Dear, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried, that's all" Sidon picked up his pearl and snuggled into the crook of his neck. "Don't take offense to it dear. Please don't be mad at me..." Sidon pleaded. Link turned around and cupped his cheeks and smiled. "How could I stay mad at you? You're an adorable little dork, now let's go!" The eager boy hopped off and ran to the door. His eyes showed excitement but his body showed impatience by the way he stood. "C'mon. You've probably never even been past the Lanayru Tower. But you have me! I know everywhere like the back of my hand. Better catch up!" Link turned around and ran right into the door and slams his face into it. Sidon burst into laughing, and even snorted once or twice. "O-Oh my! I'm so sorry but that was hilarious!" He covered his face out of embarrassment. "Okay, I don't know this room" He said before opening it and walking out. The prince laughed for a good minute before going after Link. The Domain was covered in a cold chill, normal for the end of December. Sidon hesitated to go out, but grabbed his clean clothes from yesterday. Just to be careful, he took two swords that were against the wall. After walking out the door, he noticed there was a sticky note on a pillar ahead. He took it off and read it.
