Author's Notes: Okay, heres the deal. I'm a real Malink fan. I've been a Malinker before I even knew about Zelda fan fic. I love those two together. Okay, in this fic. Theres no 'Link been asleep for seven years'. Link and Malon have been best friends for a long time, Link goes off to war occassionally, Gannon is one of the Kings Ally's. He's like the Kings assisstant, I just don't know what to call him. People have suspicions about him, but they dont say anything to his face. I know that Ingo's always the bad guy and he's always the one abusing Malon, but I like him that way because I like it when Link worries about Malon. It's romantic and exciting to read. But anyway, if you have any questions, ask me.

Malon huffed as she got to the top of the ladder and rested against the rail before continuing and going inside of the small house. She saw Link silently sleeping on the bed and smiled softly to herself. Holding up her dress with one hand, she walked over and lightly shook him.
"Link… wake up." She hummed shaking his shoulder. "Link, wake up!"
Hopping out of his sleep, he wrapped an arm around her neck and pulled a small knife from under his pillow and put it to her neck. Finally realizing who it was, he widened his eyes in shock and let her go. "Malon, I'm so sorry." He stuck the knife in the wooden wall behind him without looking and got up and went to Malon who was holding her heart in shock.
"What in the hell…?" She said looking at him startled. "I told you to stop doing that."
"And I told you to stop waking me up like that." Link told her.
"I'm sorry." She said sadly, trying to hide that she was about to cry.
Sighing softly, he stepped closer to her. "Are Talon and Ingo arguing again?" He asked sympathetically, knowing how those two argued every minute since Ingo had taken over the ranch.
She shook her head, tears accidentally brimming her eyes. "No."
"What happened?" He asked, offering her a seat on his bed.
She sat down and sighed, waiting until he sat beside her to talk. He sat next to her so she began. "Promise you won't tell my father."
Looking at her quizzically, he hesitantly promised. "Alright. I promise."
She pushed a piece of her red hair back behind her ear and sighed. "Ingo…he hit me."
Link felt a fiery rage build up in his chest. Squinting his eyes in anger, he stood up, his eyes searching the room for his sword. "I'll kill him." He mumbled.
Malon shot up in fear and grabbed his hand. "Link, no! He'll kill me!"
Seeing the true fear in her eyes made him even more angry. "He raised his hand to you?" He asked, thinking maybe he heard wrong.
"Link, I angered him okay? That's why he did it. I just…I know if my father knew he'd try to do something to Ingo and he'd get himself fired. It was my doing in the first place, I-"
"It was not your doing! If Ingo raised his filthy hand to you, it is his own doing! And he will pay for it!" He reached for his tunic that was lying on a chair.
She sighed and ran her hand through her hair. "Link, please. I just came here because I didn't feel like being at home tonight. Ingo's still angry with me. I was wondering if I could sleep on the floor. Just until morning."
"I will certainly not let you sleep on the floor." He ruffled his blonde hair with his hand and then slipped his hat on. "You can sleep on the bed as always. I'll be going out."
She sighed. "Link, if you go and fight Ingo then I can never go home again."
"That won't be a problem." He put his sword holder on his back. "I'll just kill Ingo."
"Link, please. Stop this. This is nonsense." She put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's nonsense? He hit you." He turned to her. "Where did he hit you? Did it leave a bruise?"
"If I show you, you have to promise me that you won't go." She said sternly, folding her arms across her chest.
"You and your promises." He muttered. "I take it you have a bruise. That knowledge is enough for me to go behead the moron."
Sighing, she looked down at her feet. "I can't believe you're going to go when I'm distinctly telling you that you can't."
"We can't let him get away with it, Malon." He argued.
"I have to let him get away with it, Link. What else can I do?"
"Nothing. You can let me handle it." He smiled shortly and then sheathed his sword on his back.
She set her jawbone firmly. "Fine, you know what? I'm going to go just go Nabooru's house. I'm sure she wouldn't mind if I slept over there." She headed towards the door.
He grabbed her arm. "But Malon, you can stay here."
She yanked her arm away. "No I can't. You're not a true friend. A real friend would listen to me when I said that he couldn't go destroy my home." She threw her arms in the air as she continued her way out. "I should not have told you anything!"
"Okay, okay, Malon, come back." He removed his sword and walked out to get her. He climbed down the ladder that she had already climbed down and jogged to catch up with her. "Malon, wait, okay." He grabbed her arm and turned her to him. "I won't go kill Ingo…Today." He smiled softly at her. "But you can still sleep here tonight. I don't want you walking through Hyrule Field at this time and I'm too tired to ride you."
She smiled softly at him. "You are always too tired to do anything, Link. What is it that you possibly do all day to make you this tired."
"Well, I think being the Hero of Time has a little something to do with it, but other than that…" He shrugged. "I don't know."
Furrowing her brows lightly, she looked at him. "Do you have to leave soon?"
He hated the look in her eyes. The look that told him she was scared for him. "I leave the day after tomorrow."
She sighed. "I hate it when you go to war." She told him softly, a small sad smile playing at her lips. "There is no one to talk to. And when my father and Ingo argue, I have only Matthew to go to. And he is just horrid." She rolled her eyes at the thought of him and rested her back on the ladder that led to Link's house. "And I worry about you endlessly." She whispered shyly.
He smiled and rested his arm on the ladder above her, leaning closer to her. "I won't be gone long. Just a week or two. And why don't you stay at Saria's while I'm gone? Or stay here. Just so you won't have to be around Ingo while I'm not around." He was really worried about her now. Ingo had hit her and that didn't sit too well with him.
"I do not know Saria, Link. And my father would be terribly worried if I didn't come home for two weeks." She smiled up at him. "But thank you for caring." She pushed a piece of hair behind her ear, accidentally exposing the red bruise on her lower chin.
Link's eyes fell on the bruise and he felt his heart constrict. "He hit your face?" It seemed a lot worse knowing that he raised his hand to her and hit her face. Her beautiful face. "How dare that fool." He brought his hand up and brushed his finger against the wound.
She winced. "Is it bad?"
Cupping her face to get a better look, he shook his head. "I can fix it, but it still doesn't make it right. He is still getting what is coming to him."
After looking away from him, she sighed. She hated it when he felt bad for her. "Well, let's go up. It's kind of chilly out here." She smiled shortly and turned around to climb up the ladder.
"You go ahead. I'm going to stay out here a little while longer." He called to her as she climbed.
"Are you sure?" She stopped climbing and looked down at him.
He looked up at her. "Yes. And I promise, I'm not going to kill Ingo."
She grinned sweetly. "Thank you."
"You're welcome, princess."
He often called her princess when he had no right to. She wasn't a princess and the both of them knew it, but it didn't stop him from calling her it. But she liked it when he called her princess. It made her feel special. "Am I to take the bed?" She climbed up the rest of the way.
"Of course. What else would I have you do? Sleep on the floor?" He shook his head at her with a smile. "Go, take the bed. Please."
Smiling at him once more, she walked in and stifled a yawn before laying on his comfortable bed and going to sleep.

Link and Malon walked through the shopping section of Hyrule Castle looking at the tunics that Link wanted. Tonight was the ball that Link had to attend before he went off to war, so he wanted to buy a new tunic. Malon was just going along because she didn't want to be at home with Ingo. Her father had went to a place near Gerudo Fortress to visit an old friend for three days, so she was going to stay at Link's until her father came back. She was going to avoid every possible alone moment with Ingo.
"What about this one?" Link held up a dark green tunic.
Malon looked at it and then shook her head. "Too plain."
"This one?" He handed her a light blue tunic.
She grabbed it and nodded. "I believe this one will do." She held it up and looked at it. "Although it does seem a bit too big. I will most certainly have to size it for you."
"You don't have to do that, Malon." He told her taking the tunic. "It can be too big. I honestly don't mind."
"But this is an important ball, Link. Zelda is going to be there. Everyone will be counting on you to look your best."
He shrugged. "I don't even want to go really. The balls are so boring, but I just have to go because its recommended." He came across a couple of dresses and thought that they would look really nice on Malon. Suddenly he got an idea. "But it wouldn't be so boring with you there."
Malon looked at him and then shook her head. "I am not going to a ball with you Link. I hate them." She shook her head again.
"Please, Malon. It can be a goodbye gift." He smiled at her.
"Goodbye?" She asked puzzled. "This is not goodbye, this is 'see you later.' And that doesn't need a gift."
He sighed. "But those things are so boring. And you're the only thing that's not boring in my life."
Looking behind him, she saw Zelda coming up. She knew how much Zelda liked Link. "I know something else that's not boring to you." She was pretty sure that Link liked Zelda too. Who wouldn't? She was perfect.
"What?" He asked puzzled, because he was pretty sure that she was the only thing that wasn't boring in his life.
She smiled dryly. "Her." She pointed behind him.
As soon as he turned around Zelda smiled at him and pecked his cheek. "Link, how are you today?" She smiled, bringing her hand up to straighten the part of the tunic around his neck. "You look quite handsome today."
"And you look as beautiful as always, Princess Zelda." He smiled warmly at her.
She blushed and swatted him playfully. "Oh, stop it."
"Please, stop it." Malon muttered to herself, rolling her eyes and turning around to walk the other way. She sighed when she saw Matthew, a boy who had a serious crush on her. He followed her around endlessly, even when she made it clear that his presence was unwanted.
"Malon, you look lovely." He grinned. "What are you shopping for, darling?"
She shook her head and walked past him, trying to see if he would follow her. Unfortunately he did. "I'm shopping for nothing. I just came with Link."
He nodded. "Are you going to the ball as well? If so, I would love to escort you there."
"I am not attending." She told him looking at a pretty lacy dress. It was satin trimmed and was cut like a V in the front. "I wish to stay home and stare at the stars all night."
"That sounds very swell. I wish I could stay home and stare at the stars with you." He put his hand on the small of her back. "I think I will do just that."
She removed his hand. "I would rather be alone."
"You would rather be alone than with me? You must be daft." He laughed. He couldn't believe she didn't like him.
"I am not daft, I am smart. Because I know what a man with your intentions would want." She was becoming angry.
"And what is that?" He asked smugly. This was always how their conversations turned out.
"Something I will never give you. Now please, excuse me." She tried to push past him but he put his hand on her waist and pulled her to him, crushing his lips with hers. She put her hands to his chest and pushed him away, glaring at him disgustedly before storming past Zelda and Link and out of the door.
Link, who had saw the kiss from the corner of his eye, mumbled a goodbye to Zelda before hurrying out to catch up to Malon. "Malon, wait!" He grabbed her arm and turned her to him. "Do you want me to harm him?" He asked angrily.
She knew all she had to do was nod and Link would go back in the store and beat him to a bloody pulp, but she shook her head and brought a hand up to wipe her lips. "It is alright. Let's just finish your shopping so we can go."
"He is too filthy for his own good. I will kill him someday." He gritted his teeth. "I cannot believe he kissed you." He didn't understand why it bothered him as much as it did. Of course Malon was his friend, and anything bad that happened to her made him mad, but he felt something different too.
She looked up at him. "Link, it's not a major concern. Really. It was a simple kiss that I didn't even enjoy." She looked down at the tunic in his hand. "Are you ready to leave or do you wish to flirt with Zelda further?"
"I do not flirt." He said immediately with a small smile playing at his lips.
"Really?" She was emotionless and sarcastic.
He rolled his eyes at her. "Will I be seeing you at the ball?" He changed the subject, peering down at his best friend with a smile.
She rolled her eyes, knowing that she would give in. "Oh alright. I'll go. But I have no decent attire." She began to complain. "And I will have to go home first and fix my hair."
"Why can't you do it at my house?" He asked, dreading the thought of her going back to the Ranch where Ingo was.
"Because my proper hair utensils are there. And besides, the horses are there Link. I surely can't stay away forever." She told him sadly, gently grabbing his hand. "It is my home. It is where I was born and raised. I can't just abandon it."
"So you have to live like a slave?" He gripped her hand. "I will not allow you to live that way, Malon. You do not deserve to be treated like garbage." He looked down at the lovely woman. His best friend. The one who was going through so much pain.
"Link, I will be fine. Ingo was drunk. He may never hit me again." She told him lowly, hoping he couldn't hear her so the subject could change.
"And if he does?" He asked turning her all the way around so he could see her face.
"Link I…"
"No, Malon. If he hits you again, will you tell me? Will you let me handle it?" He had his hand on her upper arm.
She sighed and closed her eyes. "Yes. I will."
"Promise?"
She nodded. "I promise."
He smiled and brought a hand up to cup her cheek. She was so beautiful. Then he pressed his lips to her forehead. "I won't continue to let him hurt you." He murmured against her skin and closing his eyes.
