Tan Lines
It was a fine day in Kakariko Village. The dismal twilight that blanketed over the quaint community was gone due to the work of the Hero of Time and the being known only to the hero as Midna.
The hero began his day by purchasing a jar of oil from Malo Mart. This particular type of oil was commonly used on infants to cure dry skin after bathing, so, naturally, he earned a quizzical eyebrow-raise from the young entrepreneur upon buying it.
The hero removed all of his garb except for a lonely pair of shorts and lathered his body with the oil before lying down right next to the lake of Eldin. He was attempting to even out his tan lines and mainly, just to relax for once.
In other words… he was sunbathing.
And that was hilarious to Midna.
"Why are you laughing, Midna?"
The imp attempted to cease her hysteria as she wiped a tear from her narrow, golden eye, "Oh, nothing, just the fact that the damn Hero of Time is out in his underwear, tanning on a Saturday afternoon…" she had to stop for bit to control her laughter, "I can't get over it."
"Well, get over it. I'm trying to even out my tan lines."
"Who is going to see you naked?" The imp snorted arrogantly.
"You see me naked all the time," The hero retorted without thinking.
"Since when do you care about how I think you look?"
The hero took a beat to process Midna's comment, "I… I don't."
"Okay?" The imp put her hand out, as if the hero would place the explanation directly in her hand if she reached for it.
"Maybe Princess Zelda would want to see me naked," the corner of the hero's lips twitched upward considerably at the thought.
The imp snorted deeply before bursting into uncontrollable fits of laughter. It sounded like two witches having a cackle-off, the most obnoxious thing the hero had ever had the displeasure of hearing.
The Hero's smirk vanished completely. His mouth was tight and his eyes were narrow.
"Oh, what? You weren't serious, were you?"
There was no reply from the severely pissed Hero of Time.
"I'll, uh, leave you to your tanning then…"
A/N: Hey guys! This is going to be a series of mostly Link/Midna-centric drabbles (They're my OTP right now :3) with some other junk thrown in there for good measure. Mostly just fluff, but maybe some angst if I'm feeling it.
I'll try to update everyday, but I'm a theatre major at a school that's quite generous with homework, so that probably won't happen.
Regardless, I hope you guys will enjoy reading it, and I hope that I'll continue to enjoy writing it.
