Four Swords: Saving Me - Ch. 1 ~ A Trip to Town

~Chapter 1~

The sun was shining brightly, the weather was warm, it was a perfect day for our favorite Links to go into town for supplies.
And when I say supplies, I mean food.

Chatter filled the air between all five boys, until they reached the entrance of the town, Vio stopped at once, turning sharply to his companions.

"Alright guys," he stated, "We're here to buy food. FOOD. No toys," he raised a brow at Red as he rubbed his head, laughing innocently.
"..No more bottles," he shot a pleading look at Green, who buys bottles every time they go to town. "Y-you never know when we might run out!" Green nervously scratched his hat, a tint of pink on his cheeks. "Green, we had to add a whole new room to our house because of your 'little' bottle collection." Shadow added with a smirk. Green groaned.
Vio continued, "No weird little monster pets," he cocked an eye at Shadow, who just smirked at the purple warrior and winked. Vio blushed awkwardly and finally turned to Blue, "And NO fighting." he said crossed.

Blue yanked his head in Vio's direction, a look of question and rising anger crossed his face. "What the hell Vio! I don't fight in town!" he testified.
Immediately, his argument was shot down by a glaring Vio.

"...Well, I don't fight on purpose..." he finished in defeat.


~Flashback~


"GREEN! GET BACK HERE!" Blue yelled across town, chasing a green flash running across town. "Fuckin' pansy..." he muttered, gritting his teeth in anger. "GET BACK HERE GREEEEEEEEN, I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOUUUU." He yelled, trying to sound tempting.

Tracks of dust clouds were trailing behind the young Green Link, as his Pegasus boots were taking him everywhere Blue was NOT. His eyes were filled with water from the wind lashing in his face, his arms flying in the wind along with his messy long hair.
He turned his head to the blue figure in the distance, growing and shrinking, "IN YOUR DREAMS BLUE! PUT YOUR SWORD AWAY! THEN MAYBE WE'LL TALK!" he cried out, speed dashing past Red, who had no idea of what was happening.


The young Red turned to the direction of the angry Blue Link getting closer and closer, doubling the danger as he gets closer to the innocent boy, "Blue! Please hold on! Vio's-" "OUTTA MY WAY RED!" Blue spat, bump-rushing into Red's waist and causing him to spin uncontrollably. "WAAAHHHHHHHH!" he cried, spinning as fast as a tornado, "VAIII-YO-OH-OHH!" Red cried out for his purple companion.

From the bookstore, Shadow and Vio came running out, the darker Link came to Red's aid, while Vio took in the atmosphere in horror:
The town looked like hell!

Suddenly without warning, Vio drew the bow from his back, pulled something from his bag, and shot both Blue and Green in the back-

Direct hit!

"GAHH!" Green and Blue cried in unison as something mushy slid from their tunics- Wait, mushy?

Shadow started laughing uncontrollably "YOU SHOT THEM WITH BANANAS?! OH MY GODDESSES! AH-HAHAHAHA!" The purple clone paid no mind to the hilarity before him, as anger quickly grew in his face and voice. "Blue.. Green..." he started, they both looked at him in guilt, "Sorry motherrrrr." they mumble in unison.

What had caused this feud you might ask? There was a stall that tests your knowledge, and ranks your IQ. Green had approached Blue in the process of a few questions and commented on his dull IQ.
Blue was not amused, in fact, he was furious.


~End of Flashback~



"That was totally all you ya'know.." Blue muttered to Green, "Shh!" he elbowed his side.
"So I'd like you all to please be useful, as well as resourceful, and get the groceries we need," he rolled his eyes, "Because we all eat like fucking horses." he muttered, earning a small snicker from Shadow.

Green had volunteered to get the groceries while everyone else could go window-shopping, Red was constantly reminding him not to forget a million things, and Shadow had gone with Vio to the bookstore. That left Red and Blue.

Quietly, Red placed his eyes on Blue and broke the silence. "Hey Blue, let's go look at clothes! C'mon it'll be fun! Please please please?" He begged with big innocent puppy eyes that made the older Link blush some before giving in.

"Fiiine, just remember what Vio said, food only." He reminded his young identical red half. The boy just smiled happily, this was a moment he'd been hoping for the whole walk here.

"I know!"

"Hey Vio, is this the book you mentioned earlier?" Shadow asked, passing a hardcover book to his purple friend with a sexy smile. Vio blushed and nodded, "Yeah, it's suppose to be very good, Princess Zelda recommended it, so I'm saving up my own rupees to get it." he looked over to Shadow with a meaningful smile. He loved spending time with Shadow, even before he came back from the Dark World and they were enemies. Truly, Vio believed Shadow was never an enemy, and he did evil things because Vaati and Ganon made him do it, using the light as a threat.

He frowned at the thought, concerning Shadow. "What's wrong? You seem lost in thought." He placed a hand on Vio's shoulder, snapping the purple clad boy out of the past. "I'm fine Shadow, thank you, I was just lost in memories." He replied, leaving Shadow with a brow raised, "Anything to do with me?" he teased with his usual wink that never failed to make Vio blush.

Shadow just loved seeing him squirm in his spot over his flirtatious winks. It gave him a good feeling that he might have a chance with the intelligent Link, whom he's had a crush on since their time together up until the final moment back in the Tower of Winds, but thanks to Princess Zelda, she was able to bring the shadowy clone back into the World of Light;
Hyrule. Their home.

The young purple Link was deeply in love with Shadow, but both Princess Zelda and the other three Links are pretty sure neither boy knows the mutual feelings they share.

And damn, are they good at not realizing each other's feelings.


                                                                       --------------------------------------


"Let's see.." he mumbled to nobody but himself, "Bread.."he searched around for the grained product.
"Milk.." mumbling yet again as he grabbed a few gallons of milk, then walked over for meat, cheese, and..

"Fruit and vegetables!" he smirked knowing he was almost done, as he reached the fruits and veggies, he stopped with a frown. 'What should I get?" he thought. "Apples, bananas, peaches?" he sighed. 'Dear Goddesses, now THIS is a decision I shouldn't try to make on my own.' he groaned to himself. 'Carrots, corn-' "What'cha doing Green?" a feminine voice sounded the boy's ears.

"WAHH!" Green squeaked a scream, being startled by the sudden voice of Malon, the nice farm girl of Lon Lon Ranch. Color returned to his pale face as he eased up.

"Oh, hey Malon!" he greeted nervously as the heat of embarrassment reached his face from halfway screaming.
"What brings you here?" she asked "Are the other Links here too?" she asked while Green trailed off thinking about corn, then snapped out of his thinking "Huh? Oh, yeah they're here" he said "I see, so have they all been clueless still?" she asked, knowing the situation of the multi-colored Links and their love interests.
Malon was always interested in gossip, so she and Green would always share what kind was happening in their sometimes interesting lives.

Green smiled shyly, "Yeah, Red's still trying to get Blue to like him mutually at least, before the next step I suppose, and Vio and Shadow still don't know they both like each other" he said laughing a bit.

Malon giggled, "Well I hope everything goes well." She said, as he couldn't agree more. "Yeah, especially and with Blue and Red.." he muttered wondering what they're up to now.


                                                                       --------------------------------------


Back with Blue and Red at the Clothing Store, Red showed Blue something, well.. girly.

"Blue look at this!" Red chirped holding a piece of clothing "What Red?" Blue replied, annoyed already with Red as he turned around, his face matched Red's tunic a little as he stared at a red bra Red was holding. Goddess, there was a lot of red going on.

"R-red what the hell are you doing w-with that bra!" Blue exclaimed, trying to hide his flushed face.
"A bra?" Red said in question, looking at the cute bra he found in the girl's part of the store. "Hmm, am I still able to wear it Blue?" Red asked, smiling like a little kid at the age of 6, clueless as ever.

"You... in that..." Blue started then his eyes grew big imagining Red in a bra and- panties?! "Red, I don't think Green and Vio would approve." Blue stated firmly, trying to hide his blush that remained. "Just Green and Vio? What about Shadow's opinion?" Red asked raising his brow in a questioning way, yet dumbfounded.

"Uh, let's just say, Shadow likes anyone half-naked" Blue mumbled walking near the tunics. Red followed cheerfully.

"Instead of... THOSE. Try this tunic on Red, you'll like it, it's soft. You like soft things." Blue called out, throwing a random tunic at Red, not even paying attention to the size.
As Red went into the changing room, he undressed and tried to get the soft tunic on- which he did, but with a slight problem.

"Blue! The tunic is too small!" Red whined, stepping out of the changing room and ready to complain about how indecisive his short-tempered companion was about size. "What do you mean it's too-" he stopped.
Dear Din. Is it hot in here? Or is it just RED? Blue's face became hot red, maybe fiery red. Red like a Flare Dancer. On a summer day!
"R-r-red!" Blue whispered loudly "I can see your underwear!" Red looked down, confused, and lo and behold, his cute bunny-faced red underwear was showing, the short tunic appeared to show about an inch of Red's underwear.

The oblivious Red blushed furiously, as did Blue, as Red spun on his heels and zoomed into the changing room he was in before. 'Goddesses I hope I didn't freak Blue out too much.' Red thought while changing back into his correct sized, and formal tunic.
Heading out, the red and blue clad boys headed towards the Milk Bar.


                                                                       --------------------------------------


A red-faced Vio and cheerfully brighter-than-usual Shadow walked out of the Bookstore, Vio was carrying a small bag. "You know, you really didn't have to buy it for me Shadow." he huffed at the boy with a tint of red on his cheeks. A big smile played on his perfect lips, tempting Vio with madness, 'Goddess Shadow, you ass. You make me wanna rip that damn tunic off and-' "I bought it for you so you can read it to me sometime," he said, "Maybe you should read it to me for bedtime!" he winked again playfully. 'Oh for the Love of Nayru, if he doesn't stop..' he cursed in his mind silently.
"..Maybe." he managed to say, keeping his thoughts from spinning out of control.

Shadow looked around then up at the sky, "It seems the sun's starting to go down." he stated, crossing his arms. "Huh, what a short day. Let's go find the others, they're probably done, and I have no clue what's keeping Green so long" Vio said openly as he turned to Shadow, smiling. 'Shadow.. I don't ever want to lose you... Not now.. not ever...' Vio thought, as his smile faded, remembering the memory of Shadow fading in the light. 'Not again...' Even if Shadow is okay being in the light now, it still makes Vio want to protect him from what will harm him still.


                                                                       --------------------------------------


"Hey guys!" Red shouted as he saw his multi-colored friends looking for one another. "Hey Red!" Green smiled, holding bags of groceries in his arms. "There they are." Shadow said pointing to the Links. "Hm, and in one piece!" Vio said "At least this time no harm has befallen this town again-" "SHUT THE HELL UP GREEN!" Blue shouted, drawing his Four Sword.

Shadow and Vio both had a look of aghast, "You were saying?" Shadow said in a smart ass manner.
"...S-shut up!" Vio heated up as he walked over to the two bickering peons, his voice raised, as did his anger, "DON'T YOU MORONS REALIZE HOW FUCKING STUPID YOUR ACTING?! CUT THE CRAP AND GET YOUR ASSES HOME!" Vio boomed, as he gasped for air, while Green and Blue had their jaws dropped and staring at the angry Vio.

"Whoaa, since when do you swear so much Vio?" Shadow laughed as got a camera from Red and walked up to the stupefied Green and Blue. *SNAP* "...Priceless ya guys, priceless. I should pay you guys for making me laugh so much! Bahahahaaa!" Shadow laughed harder with tears in his eyes.



                                                                       --------------------------------------


...And so, the five Links headed for their beautiful home, deep in the woods on the outskirts of town, which only takes them perhaps 10-20 minutes. It was far away enough where it was peaceful, quiet, and sometimes dangerous.

Blue turned to Red as they were walking, "Hey, can you make me something to eat when we get home?" he slightly blushed, as Red looked at him with silent happiness in his big blue eyes. "Of course Blue!" he hummed. Red's always been good at making tasty food, Vio was great at desserts, and Green, Shadow, and Blue were just good at eating them.

The other Links overheard and smirked, "Say Vio, you should make a cake, chocolate sounds bad-ass right now!" Shadow chimed in, earning a few heads turn to Vio.
When you say chocolate to any of the Links, you better have it, or make it. It's an obsession.

Vio gulped nervously, "I don't think we have any chocolate at the house thou-" "NOPE! GOT IT." Green yelled, holding a bunch of chocolate in his free hand from one of the bags. "Vio, you're totally making chocolate cake now, right? RIGHT!?" Green asked excitedly, Red and Blue stared like a dog waiting for a treat.

Sighing in defeat, Vio threw his hands up, "Alright! Alright! I'll make chocolate cake when we get home!" he shot Shadow a dirty look as everyone cheered in excitement, to which Shadow replied with a smug one, and an added wink. 'I'll get you for this.' he mouthed at the darker boy. A smirk played on his lips as he responded smoothly with;

'Oh, I think I'm the one whose getting you.~'
