6. Gentle peck
––––•(-••-)•––––
Oh… dear. The two boys, one older and the other younger, were cuddled up against each other near a dying fire. While the night was cold, the heat from the flames kept them warm and comforted.
Lithe fingers dared to lace themselves around the other’s, and Link leaned on the older boy.
❝ Twi… today was… really great. We make a good team, ❞ he said softly, sitting up a bit. ❝ It’s not often you hear compliments, I know that. But… I think you’re really amazing. …Y’know? ❞
A little bit closer now. Link was now in front of the other.
❝ Really… amazing… ❞ With that, the blond closed his eyes and placed a gentle peck upon Twilight’s soft lips, parting soon after with a small smile on his face.

Link felt the other hold his hand and lean against him, and he let out a little contented sigh. Nights like this always seemed so serene, so peaceful, and he liked to sit outside like this. But it was better when there was someone else there with him.
❝We do make a good team, don’t we?❞ He smiled. ❝And yeah… today was pretty awesome, wasn’t it? …you think I’m amazing?❞
What came next was slightly unexpected, but not entirely unwanted. He blushed slightly. What was that for? He thought, but instead, said, ❝I think… you’re pretty great, too.❞

Well… at least Twilight didn’t take the quick embrace as anything… bad. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it. After some time of traveling together, the two had formed a nice bond. Sure, he had done so with the other Links he met… but Twilight? Something deep down inside the boy made him yearn for the ranch hand’s attention.
❝ You do? ❞ he asked quietly before moving over to rest in the elder’s lap. ❝ …I’m glad. ❞
With that, he lightly nuzzled against the other boy, eyelids fluttering and tempting him with sleep.
