Blue, Green, Red, Vio, and Shadow were kneeling, well all but Shadow, in front of Zelda. "What is it you need, your highness?" Green asked, a pink tinting his cheeks.

"Raise your heads brave warriors. All I ask of you is to go to the land of dragons, and bring me back a flame gem." Zelda stated with a kind smile.

Green blushed again. "Why is it you need the gem, may I ask?" He asked bashfully.

Zelda tilted her head with a soft smile gracing her lips. "It is to have said, that the flame gem has the power to warm an entire kingdom and bring happiness." She explained.

Green looked at the others and they all nodded. "Yes your majesty. We shall retrieve it as soon as possible." He stated with a smile.

Zelda giggled. "Then off you go." She said, shooing them off.

Blue stretched his arms over his head. "Ugh..that was so boring." He mumbled.

Red giggled and poked Blue's arm. "Heehe~! You are so funny Blue~!" He teased.

Blue scoffed. "No I'm not." He muttered, turning away from Red.

Red frowned. "You don't have to be so mean." He mumbled, crossing his arms.

Blue shrugged and continued to walk. Blue, Red, Green, Vio, and Shadow walked to the Inn, in which they were staying. "Come on guys, pack up your stuff." Vio commanded.

Blue rolled his eyes, Red pouted and walked over to his trunk, Green excitedly ran over to his trunk, and Shadow snickered and poked Vio's cheek.

Vio felt his cheeks heat up. "S-Stop messing around Shadow." He murmured. He walked over to his bed and began to pack up his things.

Red held his cheeks. "They are so obviously in love~!" He gushed, squealing softy.

Green chuckled covering his mouth. Green and Red watched as Vio and Shadow bickered like an old married couple. "Yow!" Blue growled in pain.

Red ran over to Blue. "Blue! Are you okay?!" He asked worriedly. He placed a hand on Blue's shoulder.

Blue shrugged his hand off. "I'm fine. I just stubbed my toe." He grumbled.

Red felt a pang of hurt. "O-Oh..okay..." He said quietly.

Blue frowned. He hadn't meant to hurt Red. "Yeah, well, whatever." He stated.

Red sighed and put on a smile. "I can't wait until we leave!!" He chirped happily.

Green nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Its going to be so exciting!" He declared.

Red giggled and continued to chat with Green. Blue watched them from his bed, jealousy poking at him. Why am I feeling jealous of Green?! He wondered angrily.

"lie!!!" Vio yelped. Shadow jumped onto Vio's back.

"Aw c'mon Vi! Stop being a deadweight!" Shadow teased, pinching Vio's cheek.

Vio blushed. "Oh come off it! Get off me." He mumbled.

Shadow chuckled and got off of Vio. He floated over Vio's head. "Are we ready?" He asked.

"Yup~!"

"I'm ready."

"...duh."

"Well lets go." Vio stated, grabbing his back pack thing.

Red grabbed his bag and ran up to Blue. "Heya Blue~!" He greeted.

Blue rolled his eyes. "Do you need something?" He asked annoyed.

Red giggled. "Nope~!" He stated merrily. I wish Blue would stop being so grumpy.. He thought.

Green was reading a map that leads to the Dragon Canyons. Vio was walking silently as Shadow talked his ear off. Blue was walking with a gruff expression. Red was practically skipping while humming a tune.

Red tripped and fell onto his face. Blue snapped his head back. "Are you okay, Red?" He asked with a hint of worry.

Red looked up, he had a scrape on his cheek. He had tears in his eyes. "Oww...that hurt!" He whined.

Blue shook his head dejectedly. "Geez, you are such a crybaby." He grumbled.

Red pouted and looked at Blue with sad eyes. "Why do you always call me th-" He was cut off by Vio.

"Guys hurry!" Vio ordered, placing his hands on his hips.

Red sighed and stood up. "Nevermind.." He murmured.

Blue raised his eyebrow, but didn't say anything. He got up and followed Red to the others.

Later on, it became sundown. "Guys, we should set up camp." Red suggested.

Vio nodded. "Yeah, good idea." He stated.

Green rummaged through the packs and pulled out a tent. "Alright, well I'm tired. I can't take first watch." He stated.

"I will. Your night is my day anyway." Shadow remarked, shrugging his shoulders and flashing a grin at Vio.

Vio rolled his eyes. "I guess I'll go next." He stated, closing his book and setting up his tent.

Red started to set up his next to Blue's. After everyone's tents were set up, Red sat in his tent with a troubled expression. He sighed and stared at the 'wall'. Blue...why don't you understand..? He wondered, tears burning his eyes.

He heard two people talking in hushed whispers. He peeked his head out and he smiled softly. Vio and Shadow were sitting side by side on a log in front of the fire. Vio interlaced their fingers and leaned onto Shadow's shoulder. Shadow smiled and leaned his head onto Vio's head.

Red stuck his head back into his tent. "I'm so jealous of their relationship.." He whispered to himself. He thought about Blue and felt his chest tighten. I love you...Blue... He thought with a heartwarming smile.

*****
Vio looked up at Shadow. He felt his cheeks warm up. Shadow looked back at him. Vio blushed and averted his eyes, Shadow grinned and lifted Vio's chin to look at him. Vio slowly closed his eyes and leaned in. Shadow smiled softly and leaned in, closing the gap between them.

After a few moments, which felt like hours, they parted. Vio was panting slightly. Shadow smirked and wrapped his arms around Vio's waist, pulling him closer. "I love you, Shadow." Vio stated, leaning into Shadow's chest.

Shadow grinned. "I love you too, smartass." He teased lovingly.

Vio pouted, but didn't push it farther. In a short hour it would be Blue's turn to keep watch. Right now, it was best to keep an open mind and watch out for the future.
