"I thought the tornado I stirred up would have torn you apart. Yet… There you are…"

Link stared up at this… Man. If it was a man. Tall and white as snow with bulbous brown eyes… He sure didn't look quite human, in Link's opinion. Suavely, he turned his head to look at the door behind him, his white hair flowing smoothly with the movement of his neck.

"Nor that your life or death has any consequence."

He talked to himself, muttered as he stood, tall, before the golden door. Behind, Link knew that Zelda was waiting, and he wanted nothing more than join her…

"Oh… But listen to me. I've forgotten my manners. Allow me to introduce myself."

The white man said as he looked above his shoulder at the young lad behind him.

"I am the demon who presides over this land you look down upon… The surface…"

His tone of voice had taken something of a vicious twist as he let his eyes fall on Link.

"You may call me… Girahim."

And Link had to hold back from chuckling and mentioning he had a nice name. Instead, he glared at the demon, understanding without further specification that he was an enemy and keeping him from reaching his Zelda. The simple thought if being kept away from her angered the green-clad knight (in-training) and he unshed his sword.

Girahim heard the sound of his movement and he smiled, not yet turning around. He chuckled viciously.

"Did you really just draw your sword?" He laughed again. "Foolish boy…"

Foolish boy. The demon had said this last non-verbal sentence with a tone of voice that Link wouldn't understand. Couldn't understand… His lack of experience in this field of life explained why he didn't move when the demon disappeared, after turning around…

And then, he was there. Behind the Skylofter… his hands on the young man's hips and his chin on his shoulder… Lips a mere inch away from Link's ear. The young man gasped as he stiffed, a discomfort he didn't knew invading his mind and body. He could have moved away.

"It hardly seems fair, being of my position, to take all my anger out on you…" Whispered Girahim into his ear.

A shiver ran down his spine as the sweat covering his skin, underneath his tunic, suddenly became cold.

"Which is why I promise up front not to murder you…"

Link almost said "thanks", but the movement of the demon's hands on his hips cut his speech right away. And he thought that here again, he could have moved away.

"No… I'll just beat you within an inch of your life…"

Girahim chuckled, another shiver ran through the young man's spine and the demon pushed his body closer against Link's back. He could have moved, but he didn't.

Not until that weird, white, un-human creature got his tongue out and neared the Skylofter's ear. Now, he moved away.

Gasping, Link now stood in front of Girahim, offering his deadliest glare as he took a fighting stance.

The demon laughed, closing his eyes in pure amusement.

Link, still gasping, readied his weapon as he tried to eliminate that new feeling he didn't understand which was running through his blood, through his nerves and dangerously going down towards his crotch.

But he had no time to think about this. No time to give in to such… feelings. He had to fight.

For Zelda.

For Zelda…


Because I just had to write some stuff about Girahim's flagrant homosexuality and Link not noticing. Or over-noticing...

For those who wonder about Twisted Destiny : it's coming. Just need time to adjust to my university/work schedule so I can find the good spot to write. I'm going to finish TD, don't worry, folks.

Désolée, Noémie, j'ai pas mis la lyre... Ça fittait pas assez =P

Besides this, have a nice day. Please, do review if you feel like it.
