"No!" He blushed darkly at his outburst and looked away in embarrassment.

Navi flew towards the monster, her normal white glow now yellow in warning. "Her week point is her eye!" She called to the blonde as she made sure she dodged any attempted swipes at her.

Ethan blinked blushing a little more before he relaxed, "I see..."

Haru shivered, a faint pink blush forming on his cheeks. "Wh-what are you doing?" He murmured breathlessly.

"Don't worry, he just needs time to sort things out." Cynder assured. "He loves him...he just doesn't realize it." Ethan blushed, "What's so funny?"

Haru pulled him as close as he possibly could. 'I want us to be together forever. Nothing will tear us apart.'

Navi looked around nervously and flinched when she heard shuffling noises. She glanced up and squeaked, "Uh...Link? You might wanna look up."

Ethan gave a faint smile before he leaned in and gently kissed his cheek. "Thank you...."

Navi shudder when she glanced at the spikes. Those could have seriously injured her partner.

"Whatever you say..." Haru said with a faint smile before he leaned down and captured the younger male's lips.

Ethan trembled slightly at the promising tone in his voice. Can I... Can I trust him? He leaned into the other's touch, glancing at him with an unreadable emotion. I...I want to. I want to love him...like he loves me. "I..." he started softly. "I want to....I want to love you. I don't feel that way, not yet. But I want to..." He hesitantly placed his hand over Silver's. "Can you wait for me?"

Haru blinked before chuckling softly and climbing onto the bed with him. "Silly boy."

"Eep! Better be quick about this!" Navi squeaked.

Haru smiled at him, gently squeezing his hand as they left. Little did they know that this was going to turn the world upside down.

Ethan bit his lip before he hugged the other tightly, burying his face in his chest. "I-I...I like you, a lot. I-I'm not s-sure...about love." He mumbled, his voice obviously muffled, but this seemed to be the only way he could speak out. "I-I've never been in love before...I'm scared. I don't want to get hurt..."

"The faster you hit the switch, the sooner you'll get back on dry land." Navi said with a small giggle.

Haru gently nuzzled him making Koto smile even more. "Come on you two, let's go home."

"They're so obvious." Cynder yawned. Ethan gazed at him, shock evident in his eyes. "I-I...." He wanted to say he felt the same way, but he was frightened. He didn't understand. But he had to say something, he didn't want the other to get the wrong idea!

Koto pulled back and smiled before chuckling softly, "I know dear." She said, releasing him which allowed Haru to hold him again. "You two are very obvious." Haru blushed faintly and rolled his eyes.

Navi looked around before spotting something in the water. "There! I think it's a switch! Maybe it'll help!"

Koto gasped sharply, paling. She looked at Haru who gave a somber look in return. The woman felt torn. On one hand, this boy was the indirect cause of her husband's death. ...but on the other, he had paid the price for it. He had lost his sister. He already felt the pain of losing a loved one. So she couldn't be angry...she just couldn't. Instead she walked again and motioned for Haru to move. Haru gave a wary look, but did as she asked, letting go of the blonde reluctantly and stepping back only to smile faintly when she pulled the into a motherly hug.

Navi deadpanned, "What the heck...?"

Ethan flinched in shock, eyes wide before he slowly shut them and returned the kiss.

Navi shivered, 'So many spiderwebs...what are they doing in here?'

Haru hugged him a little tighter, murmuring that it would be alright while Koto walked closer, tilting her head, "Yes dear? What is it?"
