Dark LinkXReader-A Demon's love~Part 7

Link sighed sadly and stared down at his reflection in his LonLon Milk. Carl sat beside him, glancing over at the young hero with sad eyes.

"Ey..Link. I know ye worried about ______ but don't fret too much son. ______ is a very strong lass. She can handle herself against that ol' demon, I'm sure! Just have a bit of faith boy."The large bearded man told Link.

Link didn't take his eyes off his reflection, his grip tightening on the cup.

"That's true but..she isn't strong enough to face him. He's beyond powerful. I'm barely a match for him. How can _______ hold her own against a demon like him? How could I have been so weak! I just let her get carried off like that! This is all my fault!"Link said, raising his voice as he did. Hearing Link's guilty outburst, Navi and Helio drifted down beside him.

"It's not your fault Link."Navi said.

"Yeah, nobody knew that Dark Link was after _______ like that."Helio said as well. Carl nodded.

"That's right Link. Listen to them fairies. You are not the one to blame and right now you need to focus on getting your strength and spirit back up before going to rescue ______. Eat. Ea. Eat!! Waiter! I want everything you got on dis here menu!"Carl ordered. Link couldn't deny it. HE was starving, having not eaten anything since your kidnapping.

"Fine..one plate but that's it.."he said.

~~~~~

"Come on. Eat it."

"Hmph!"

"Eat!"

"Hmph!"

"Damn it woman! Eat!"Dark Link growled heavily as he set the plate full of food on the table beside the bed. You sat there with your arms crossed and head turned away from him.

You were still too weak to get out of bed but at least you were awake now and your fever had broken which secretly relieved Dark Link. But now you were refusing to eat and this was doing more than frustrating him.

"Why won't you eat?!"he snapped.

"I don't take food from demons!"you hissed. Dark Link sent you a menacing glare.

"You should be thankful that I even give you something to eat instead of letting you starve! I hope you know that if you don't eat soon, the dark magic inside of you will consume and kill you."

"I don't care! Death is better than being stuck here with you!" A flash of anger yet hurt shown in Dark Link's eyes at your statement. He suddenly went quiet and stood up.

"Fine..eat or don't eat. I don't give a damn.."he mumbled before exiting the room. You stared at the doorway for a moment before eying the food beside you. You were surprised, it actually looked appetizing and smelled pretty good as well. You would never think that a demon of Dark Link's standards would be able to prepare food like that.

Slowly, you shift over to the plate a hot food. You reach out and grab the roll that was closest to you before snatching it back quickly, still eying the door to make sure that Dark Link wasn't watching. You hold the roll up to your mouth, hesitating at first, but bite into it.

To your surprise and great pleasure, the roll was soft and fluffy. It had a nice salty yet sweet taste to it as it seemed to melt in your mouth. You finished the roll in no time and began to gobble down the rest of the food until there was nothing left.

You set the plate back down once you were done and sigh contently.

"I thought you didn't take food from demons."Dark Link's dark chuckle made you jump and quickly turn your attention towards the dark figure that stood in the door.

You glared at him.

"Oh shut up and leave me alone Demon."you tell him. Dark Link sighed and strolled over to you.

"I have a name you know. It's Link not Demon."he says.

"No. Link is a hero not a monster."you tell him. Dark Link rolled his crimson eyes and stared down at you. You stared back up at him angrily but flinch slightly as he reaches out to you.

Instead of the harsh grab you expected from him, a light touch came to your face. You stare up at Dark Link with wide shockful eyes as he seems to wipe something away from your face gently.

He stared down at you with a soft gaze.  It was different from his usual blood lust gaze. His eyes showed tenderness in them yet something was sad about them. They felt as if they were drawing you in.

As you were captivated by his ruby red eyes, Dark was enticed by your own (e/c) orbs. They were so round and big. Both twinkling like the stars overhead in the black sky. You reminded him of an innocent child the way you stared up at him. One who has yet to see the dark side of the world. Someone still pure as the driven snow that falls in the winter.

Dark Link felt an unknown heating sensation come to his cheeks as he continued staring. The two of you blinked to release yourselves from your trances. Dark Link quickly turned his attention from you to the empty plate.

"I..I'm glad you ate."he says softly before picking it up and turning back to you. You didn't flinch this time when he laid a gentle hand atop of your head.

"Get some sleep.."he whispered before gently laying a kiss on your forehead. Your eyes went wide and you drew away from him quickly, blushing fiercely.

"W-What was that for??"you ask. Dark Link's fingers flew up to his mouth and traced his lips slowly. His face became red in realization of what he had just done. He looked down at you flustered.

"I..Uh.. It was nothing! Just another dark mark I put on you so don't get comfortable with kisses! I don't do such and don't think I did that because I like you cuz I don't! So just..forget everything I just did you worthless mortal!"he shouted before darting out the room.

You stare at the doorway of the bedroom in confusion.

"Um...what?"

Dark Link sat in his throne room quietly. He traced his thumb over the pendant that he dangled in his hand.

"What is this feeling I have? What was that strange heat in my cheeks? I've never felt that way from looking at one of my other victims." He sighed and slipped the pendant in his tunic.

"Ridiculous. It surely cannot be that."
