Chapter 1
The Tour
The drawbridge was slowly coming down as Ike crept slowly to the now completed road to see a blonde man slightly shorter than Ike walk up to him. Something glinted as he walked up to him, Ike noticed that the man had long pointed ears; at the base of each ear was a piece of highly polished blue stone.
"Hi you must Ike, my name is Link nice to meet you" the man named Link stuck out his hand in a friendly manner a small smile crept up to his face.
"Like wise" Ike responded shaking his hand he was intrigued by the way the man looked at him like he was comparing him to someone. He was obviously thinking of something he was kind of in a trance the pale piercing blue eyes staring at him, his blonde hair sliding down his face slightly covering his eyes.
Ike shifting uncomfortable under the strange mans gaze didn't know if he should say something. Link realized that he must staring cleared his throat.
"Would you like a tour of the mansion" Link said politely. Ike nodded and the Hylian directed him across the draw bridge.
Ike was awe struck, he thought the mansion was big on the outside it was even bigger on the inside there was stairs cress crossing above his head and he could see some going down. He shifted his bag to a more comfortable position on his back.
"Here let me take that" Link he offered his hand up eyeing the pack on Ike's back
"Sure that would be great" he slipped it off of his back. He expected that the smaller man to have trouble with it after all it had all of he weapons oil and his extra armor in, but Link made a small grunt and then lifted with no difficulty at all. He gave Ike a warm smile and walked up the closes stair while saying "Come on I'll show you to your room so we can put your stuff there and then we can start the tour!"
Ike trotted after Link they went through endless hallways that had just as many doors. If Ike looked around at the doors some said restrooms and others said pantry and other had names of people.
There was an awkward silence that had come between them as they walked to Ike room. "So how did you get stuck with showing me around here?" Ike asked slightly joking he knew it couldn't be fun getting stuck with the new guy. Link looked over his shoulder a slight smile was on Ike's lips "I won a match" Link said truthfully
"Huh?" the question was prevalent with the way that Ike had asked. "You won a match shouldn't it be the other way around?"
"No I won the match," Link stated hint of pride coming through.
It was a little while of silence before Ike asked another question "What was the match about?" Curiosity getting the better of him breaking the silence
"Who would escort you around the mansion." Link stated plainly
"Why where you in the match?" Ike asked
Link hesitated by for a second. "I was excited that there was going to be another swordsman in the tournament there are only a couple and they are all snobs, well except for Toon Link, but he doesn't count." Link said again be partly truthful "Also to warn you that some of these people will take advantage of you and that all those people that I fought will do anything in their power to do so, do not under estimate any of them." What he didn't tell Ike was ever since he saw his picture of him he has had a major crush on him. Having him here in person was even better than his picture he had to focus so hard from not staring at him and run into a wall or something.
Ike could tell that Link was distracted because he walked right passed Ike's room. "Um Link." Ike said the blonde stop and turned his hair swinging around his hat following his mouth opened about asks him what it was and then he saw what Ike's finger was pointing to. Link blushed slightly his cheeks turning pink "Oh sorry I didn't see it." Link pulled out a key and unlocked his door he opened his door and he stuck his arm in a welcoming manner, "Welcome to your room" Link said a smile was on his face his eyes piercing Ike again. Ike nodded and walked in he was surprised he expecting it to be dark and cold in here well it was bright in his room and he bed was laid with red sheets with what looked like to be silk, and the wall were decorated similarly to how Ike liked it. Ike shivered; it was about 10 degrees cooler here than it was in the hallway. "Oh I'm sorry I thought I told Zelda to turn the heater on in here for you." Link said apologetically he looked a little distressed, but Ike could tell he meant it. He watched Link walk over to something on the wall and pressed his thumb on something square it beeped and Ike heard a click and felt warm air blow on him.
Link walked over to his bed as he walked by Ike eyes followed him and noticed his hips swinging a little bit "damn he's got a nice ass, did I just think that? Ike thought Ike felt his stomach twist as he saw Link turn and threw his pack on his bed and sighed dramatically he flicked his head to the side so his hair wasn't in his eyes.
Ike was amazed this thing that Link had called a heater and dramatically changed the climate and it was warmer in here. Link thinking the same thing nodded his head approvingly "there that's better" he said he smiled and giggled quietly to himself. Ike thinking that he missed a joke or something made him ask what was wrong. "Oh nothing I was just thinking it took me a week to figure out about the heater I nearly froze because of it" he said giggling again the smile widening even further Link's laughter was contagious because shortly after Ike smiled and began to laugh. Link began to laugh so hard he was clutching stomach and was crying. After they both got over the joke Link smiled again "would you like some water I don't know about you but I'm parched!"
"Sure thank you" Ike said
"I promise after that we will finish the tour" Link said smiling again. "Oh the tour I completely forgot about it" Ike thought. Truthfully he didn't want to take the tour he wanted to stay here with Link. He was so comforting, and cheerful and lets face it if Link wasn't he would be bawling his eyes out from homesickness. He was beginning to like Link a lot. Link hurriedly ran out of his room to get something to drink.
"I wonder what he likes to drink, oh goddess' I forgot to ask him well I guess Hylian tea will just have to do." Link thought as he walked to the kitchen. Peach and Zelda were looking over something. "Hey Peach hey Zel" He called out, they looked up at him and he saw they were looking at a bowl filled with different ingredients "What are you doing?" he asked cautiously; last time Peach and Zelda try to cook they insisted that no one else be allowed to cook anything else and everyone had to eat it; was so charred that even Kirby wouldn't eat. "We are trying to make something to eat" Zelda said
"Where is everyone else?" he asked "You could just ask someone else to make it."
"Some are out watching Kirby and Dedede train, and others are else where besides here" Peach huffed "Why you aren't out, I thought you were going show the new person around. Have you fucked and already done with him" Her eyed Link suspiciously
"By the fires of Din no he got thirsty and so I am getting something to drink for us." Link said remembering that why he had come here he hastily put two cups of the Hylian Tea into the Microwave.
"So how is he?" Zelda asked him ignoring Peach she was the only that knew about what Link felt about Ike well Sheik to but of course the Shiekiah didn't count he knew everything that the Princess did.
"Oh please tell me!" Peach shouted "Tellmetellmetellmetellme is he hot, muscular, and tan!" Peach shouted excited that she would have some gossip to spread. Peach was one of the people that Link had fought for Ike and he knew exactly why she wanted to know so she could take advantage of him and totally embarrass him or goddess know what else. Link knew this and his temper swelled a little but he knew it would only deepen her already growing suspicion that Link was madly in love with the mercenary so he decided that he would be as vague as possible. "He's alright, I guess" Link said shrugging his shoulders a little.
"You guess?" Peach said. The time beep when the microwave was done Zelda helped Link get a tray and sweetened the bitter tea. She carried the tray to the doorway out of ear shot of the other Princess "After you're done with the tour I want you to come to my room and tell me what you really think of him." Zelda whispered. "Damn it she saw right through my lie." Link thought. "How did you know" Link whispered back. She gave him the really-your-really-asking-me-that look "Link we have been through a lot I know when you are lying." He smiled and promised that he would. She handed him the tray and rushed him off the Hero of Twilight ran off as fast as he could to Ike praying to the goddesses that it would be still hot when he got back.
It sure is taking a long for Link get back with the drinks Ike thought he got up and walked up to the door and walked right into Link spilling the still hot tea onto himself "Oh gods, Link I'm so-" "Din's fire that's hot!" Link said pulling his now soaked tunic away from his boiling skin. Ike cursed and pulled him into his room and closed the door and struggled to pull off the hot wet tunic off of him. Ike's jaw dropped to the floor he was expecting Link to be fit, but what he wasn't expect was that Link have 8 smooth gorgeous and ridiculously hard abs that was already a bright red color from the hot liquid his bulging biceps rippled as he moved his arms up and then down to get the scorching hot tunic off of him all Ike could do was stare at Link and admire his body. Ike's cobalt blue eyes were caught staring and Link's pale ice blue eyes pierced through Ike. Ike blushed the color as Links burned abs, and stammered trying not to panic "Wee…. Nee….ddddd.. to you co…oolll…edd….. offfff" he tried to say he rushed into his bathroom and get a towel soaked with ice cold water. "Here let me help" Ike said glad that he had calmed down and stop stammering like a helpless child. He dabbed gently on Link's burns
"Farore's winds that's cold!" Links said shivers going down his body
"Sorry." Ike said
"And did you really need the whole towel to be wet." Link teasing smiling a crocked grin that nearly has Ike melting into the ground. He realized that now his pant were soaking wet too.
"I'm sorry" Ike said
"I'm sorry that I spilled the tea." Ike said tears began to cloud his vision
"I'm so sorry that I got your tunic wet." Ike said the tears now leaked down his eyes and spilled down his cheeks. He hung his head down low his body shaking a little as from sobbing.
"Hey, Hey listen to me," Link said lifting Ike's head. "It's not your fault I was going way to fast" Link's cheeks were flush from the heat his pale eyes piercing Ike's soul, his friendly smile coming out his blonde hair in his eyes that seem to move from a non existed wind "He is so cute when his hair does that why am I thinking of this" Ike questioned in his mind.
"Really" Ike said stunned by what his friend said.
"Really" Link said his smile growing even wider.
He bends down to Ike's level he moves his head closer Ike is frozen he doesn't know what to do Link moves closer and closer his warm breath now sweeping over Ike he smelled of pine trees and oranges a strange but comforting combination, Link now had his head turned moving closer until their lips met ever so gently Link's tongue licking Ike's lips asking for entrance Ike confuse by Link's plump lips on his but eventually opens his mouth their tongues tangle together each fighting for dominance. Link wins and he begins to explore his mouth. Ike is literally beyond confusion here he was with the absolute hottest guy ever and he was kissing, no not kissing him making out, pleasure began to cloud Ike's mind ceasing all thoughts the towel dropped from his hands. Link slid over Ike quietly pushing him to the floor. Ike lungs started burning he needed air reluctantly broke the kiss. What seemed like hours were only a few short minutes. Both of them breathing heavily Ike looked at Link he was even flusher then before.
Ike cleared his throat "Well" he thought "that was unexpected" He looked at Link his paler blue eyes piercing at him again suddenly Link jumped up
"By Nanryu's grace I still haven't shown you around the mansion" he stood up and Ike to stood up Link started to giggle Ike looked down there was a huge wet spot from where he had dropped the towel when link kissed him "looks like we both have to change I will be right back" he closed his eyes and he vanished quickly a couple of minutes later he came back he had switched to a dark blue tunic with a matching hat he had his sword on his back with a shield behind it he looked at Ike who was still processing what had happened on the floor " you haven't changed yet". Link said Ike blushed and moved over to his pack unzipped it and hurriedly grabbed a pair of black pants and a red shirt he rushed into the bathroom and came back changed, his blue hair slightly messy from putting on his shirt he wrapped his cape around him with a smile "great lets go" Link said.
It had been a tiring day for Link he had shown Ike around the mansion, he had shown him the training centers, the kitchen, the dinning hall, the swimming pool, where they fight and a whole lot more but Link couldn't stop thinking about the kiss. When Falco had asked who Ike was Link had walked right past him deep in thought about the kiss.
Back in Link's room he didn't have the tour to keep his mind from wandering. He was scared that he had driven to hard and he feared that he was only imaged the glances and stares that Ike had given when he thought Link had turned around not noticing. It had taken him all of his courage including from the Triforce of courage to kiss Ike and Link thinks it was all for nothing. He knew that Ike didn't love him back. Maybe Zelda knows something about this. "Goddesses I forgot about Zelda!" he thought.
He walked towards Zelda's room thinking about how he was going to tell Zelda all that had happened in the last few hours. He knocked twice on the hard oak doors he heard a faint come in and walked into his princesses' room. Zelda looked over at Link and smiled sincerely
"It's about damn time Link I was beginning to think you had forgotten about me again" Zelda said her emerald green eyes twinkling brightly
"I told you I never got that damn letter from Midna" Link whinnied they had been over this hundreds of times but Zel liked to bring it up just to annoy him. But that was beside the point.
Zel got all serious very fast she knew when it was time to joke and when to put it aside and focus on the task at hand, and it scared Link when she did that. He knew there was no hope of keeping what happened a secret.
Link sighed dramatically he sat down on her pink satin bed. Trying to figure out how to start what happened. Thank the goddesses Zelda broke the silence after she closed and locked the door and sat down next to her Hero.
"So… what happened?" Zelda asked
"Well it started out as a normal tour" Link began. Zelda nodded encouraging him to continue. He moistened his lips he remembered it well hell it had just happened 4 hours ago "The drawbridge came down" He started again after a little silence hell if he started he might as well start from the beginning "when he looked at me butterflies started going to crazy in my stomach" he started talking faster "he is so gorgeous I couldn't keep my mind off of him." Talking even faster "We finally got to his room we talked for a while that when I got thirsty and left to get some tea." He paused breathing deeply he had started to hypervenalate. His chest heaving greatly as he tried to calm himself. "After I left" He was talking so fast that he had a hard time understanding what he said. "I was walking to fast and I bumped into him spilling the hot tea all over me." His sentences began to string together and it was getting harder to understand "We pulled off my tunic and Ike got a wet towel and began tending to my burns but in his haste Ike had gotten the whole towel wet it had completely soaked my pants Ike had started crying say it was all his fault everything he blamed himself I had bend down to reassure him try to comfort him" Link paused for a breath and then blushed a deep red it ran from the hero's strong graceful neck all the way to the tips of his pointed ears. Zelda nodded encouraging again for him to continue. "Ikissedhim" Link said well he more like muttered it under his breath. A quizzical look came over the princess
"What was that Link you said that to fast?" Zelda said bewildered by why the sudden shyness of the usually bold hero
"Ikissedhim" Link said again but to fast to hear.
"I still didn't catch that Link I'm sorry" Zelda said Link looked grieved that he had to say it again what was wrong with him he is never like this. "Try again this time slower" Zelda encouraged. Link took a big deep breath and let it out through his nose
"I kissed him Zelda I kissed Ike." Link said ready for anything a scream, a slap something anything. Zelda smiled that twinkle in her eye again she opened her mouth and gasped melodramatically her hands covering her mouth. "Oh shut it you smart ass" Link said pointedly but a smile had crept up his lips and he couldn't help but laugh. Zelda laughed to and squealed like a little school girl excited that the most popular guy just looked at her.
"Oh goddesses! Did you really oh my gods, by the fires of Din give me details!" Zelda said growing with excitement.
Link sighed feeling the relief of what just happened he knew Zel wouldn't judge him like that but he still had fears of rejection from his Princess. "Well it felt great awesome but it drained me I have no idea why" he said the power from kissing Ike was astounding he felt his whole body quake from sheer happiness he couldn't describe it he remembered when Ike's lips left his he nearly fell over and pass out he was in so much joy. Ike pulled away why did he pull away? Link thought. Zelda's looked at him puzzled
"Link are you ok?" Zelda asked.
"Ike pulled away I don't think he likes me" Link said feeling tears coming to his eyes, his fears coming up out of no where "What if I was just imaging things I don't think he likes me at all when I looked at him he looked confused " Link now was crying thick tears and was sobbing uncontrollably "I think I pushed to hard I want him to love me to. I think I pushed him away I think I scared him away!" at this point Link was sobbing so bad he couldn't talk anymore his head laid on Zelda's shoulders, his whole body shuddered from crying so hard. After his sobbing settled a little bit he continued. "After the kiss we continued through the tour every once in a while I saw him staring at me, I could feel his eyes on me. I couldn't stop thinking about it…. I was just imagining them wasn't I" Link had almost stopped crying but then sobbed even harder than before after he finished his sentence. It continued until no tears could be shed anymore Link had settled in a mass of hiccups. Zelda lost in thought patted his back and rubbed it comfortingly. "Well I guess it is up to me to find out." Zelda thought a small smile crept to her face.
Ike had no idea what had happened these past four hours Link had kissed him he couldn't deny that it had happened anymore. He was so confused was Link gay or straight the way he guess Link "usually" acted seemed so straight but obviously he had just kissed him and after it he was acting so weird was that how he acted normally?
He was so confused. Ike was pacing the room back and forth. He couldn't stand it anymore it anymore he walked to his door and wrenched it open he walked outside closed the door and locked it with the key that Link had given him. He had walk numerous times to Links room but would only get about half way there and then loose courage he did this probably about 10 times before finally he got the nerves to walk up to his door and knock….. no response he knocked again… no response.
"Hey Ike what's been happening? Why are you here I thought your room was down the hallway?" Marth said
"I was looking for Link" Ike said glad that he had someone that he knew around to help him.
"Oh I saw him walk over to Zelda's room; if you want I could show you where it is." Marth said
"That would be great." Ike said glad that Link wasn't ignoring him. Marth lead the way to Zelda's room as he said he would it wasn't that far away from Link's only a dozen doors down.
"Here we are." Marth said directing him to a darkly stained oak door. "Now I best be going can you find your way back. Oh and Ike be careful around the Princess she is very protective of Link and despite her size she is very powerful do not under estimate her."
"Umm yeah ok I won't." Ike said nodding "That's the second time I have heard that today" Ike thought. Marth smiled and jogged away heading to somewhere in the maze of the castle. Ike walked closer to the door he could hear whisperings coming from the door he hesitated losing his nerve again. "Come on Ike you can do it you walked all the way over here you can't stop now." Ike thought trying to find the courage to do it. He straitened his shirt and knocked on Zelda's door the whispering immediately stopped he heard heels clicking on the floor. "Here goes nothing!" Ike said in his head. He heard the lock turn and the dark wood door opened.
"Hello?" A dark brunette poked her head out her emerald eyes twinkling brightly shock crept onto her face her pointed ears blushed quickly and then all emotion was wiped away. "Can I help you" the Hylian princess asked.
"Good evening sorry to disrupt you I'm Ike, I was looking for Link. Is he by chance here?" Ike said smiling slightly, being as polite as possible remembering that he was talking to a princess.
"Yes he is once moment please." The Princess said coldly. She closed the door; he heard whispering again a few minutes past, this time the sound of thick leather boots came shuffling to the door.
"Hello… Oh Ike hi… what are you doing here." Link said realizing that it was Ike he opened the door wider, a smile crept onto his face, his blonde hair swept into his eyes. His eyes piercing Ike's looking over him.
"I uh I uh…. I wanted to know if you wanted to start training tomorrow maybe meet at the pool at 9." Ike hurriedly asked adding a smile to his question however inside his mentally punched himself he wanted to ask what happened back in his room. The smile grew wider and Link's eyes twinkled a little.
"Sounds great I'll meet you there-." He paused someone whispering, his pointed eyes twitched slightly. "Actually is it ok if Zelda comes to?" Link asked a slight pleading look in his eyes.
"Absolutely I would be honored if she came to." Ike said becoming more formal when he saw Zelda walked up behind Link her eyes piercing even harder than Link's a look on her face almost daring him, object and he would face the princess's wrath.
"Great see you then!" Link said pleased that Ike agreed and closed the door one last smile appearing on his elfin face. Ike smiled to and nodded. Once the door closed he headed back to his room along the way he kicked the wall "Ugh what the hell!" Ike yelled "I have faced armies when the fates and gods were against me but I can't even talk to Link with out stuttering like a school girl." Ike thought mentally kicking himself again.
"So what are we doing?" Zelda asked sitting down on the soft bed; she hadn't really paid attention to the conversation but she wanted to be there for Link who would probably flake out on Ike if she wasn't there.
"We are going to go swimming tomorrow and train." Link said sitting next to her. Zelda's eyes twinkled again. "Really?" she asked "Sounds like a lot of fun, but before we go I want you to come over here so we can walk together there ok?"
"Sure I don't mind." Link said.
"Great!" Zelda said smiling innocently but in her head she was thinking of something completely different "This is the perfect opportunity to find out if Ike likes him..." She giggled mentally "I'm going to make Link look irresistible!"
Hey Y'all how did you like it? Any reviews are good, hating is good motivating (don't take to any extreme though) I know there are parts that are spelled wrong! I'm going to try and post a new story or update every other day or so if my muse can hold up that is. Tomorrow I will hopefully have a new story up! It should be juicy!
