Absorbing Light

Midna lay in the soft grass outlying the silvery Lake Hylia, feeling her skin warm under the glowing sun. A subtle breeze blew overhead, cooling her when she most needed it. Her mask lay beside her, allowing her fluorescent hair to sprawl out in the greenery.

Link held onto her hand, laying alongside her, dozing underneath the glory he could now relish. His breath smoothed out, showing he'd fallen into sleep.

Midna stared at the boy, admiring every crook of his face, every scar she could see. He was flawless. She was a frailty.

A particularly large scar was revealed when the wind blew his shirt upward. The gash ran up his stomach, and along his hips. Midna reached out to touch it, and ran her soft fingers along his body.

Poor boy… poor, poor boy.

Her dainty fingers gripped harder to his calloused ones, squeezing.

She'd absorb his light, even if it would kill her.

Absorbing Light is meant to show how much Midna truly cared for Link, though she never wished to admit it to his face, or any else's. If you guys have any recommendations for the next moments, let me know!

Until then,
