Okay, here is chapter two! Thank you everyone that reviewed/followed/favorited from chapter one! XD This one is pretty long, at least more than the first. It's interesting - I promise Fox is still straight, he's just... different haha I really hope you like it. Happy reading! :D
Chapter 2
Link's POV
"Okay, Link." Fox's muffled voice came from behind the closed bathroom door as I sat on the sofa in my living room. We had come here and then Fox had left for a while to "go get something", then returned carrying a large bag. Before I could peek at the bag's contents, he'd slipped into the bathroom.
I looked up as Fox walked out... and my jaw practically dropped to the floor.
"What the hell, Fox?!"
Fox had emerged from the bathroom in a wig that let long brown hair flow down his back. A light blue floor-length dress wrapped around his muscular frame ( Very. Disturbing. ) and he even had a couple of brushes of makeup on his slightly furry face. That was going to be tough to get out...
"Trust me - it's necessary. I'm helpin' ya." He replied casually as if this was such a normal thing to him. And I hoped, for the love of Nayru, that it wasn't.
"Nothing about this seems helpful to me." I told him, averting my eyes from the sight before me. "In fact, the amount of mental scarring has just gone up about a gazillion percent!"
I looked up to see Fox roll his eyes. "You should be used to me by now." He pointed out. "Just... talk to me like I'm the beautiful Zelda." Fox put his hands on his hips, making a kissy face at me.
I made a face. "Dude, no offense, but you are one ugly ass girl."
Fox sniffled, still in character. "O. M. G!" He held a hand to his heart as best he could over the freaking fake breasts he made with a bra beneath the dress. "Right in the self-esteem! You are a jerk, Link."
Wait - where'd the bra come from...? And how in the hell did I end up his friend...?
I sighed and sank into my sofa again where Fox joined me. He made a face as he crossed his legs in a feminine manner, then slightly relaxed again. At this rate, there was no way I could have a chance with Zelda.
"I can't do this, you - oh, jeez." I would never get this image out of my mind. Ever.
"You know what? We are over!" Fox huffed in a high-pitched voice.
"We never started."
Fox rolled his eyes again. "Man, ya suck at talkin' to women." He reminded me.
I couldn't help a small, hopeless chuckle. "Sorry if I don't wanna hit on my best friend."
"It's not easy bein' a girl. Heels suck. Why don't you try?" Fox looked at me pointedly.
"There is no way I am wearing that!" I protested immediately. I would rather stick my face in a pot of boiling water. Or light myself on fire.
"Psh, no!" Fox scoffed. "I like this one. There's another for ya." I raised an eyebrow.
"Fox, why, in the name of the goddesses do you have dresses?!"
He shrugged.
I wondered if I should be concerned.
Rising from the sofa with a soft rustle of fabric, Fox returned to the bathroom where he shuffled around a bit and then emerged once again, holding up a dark green dress he must have brought with him too. "Green is your color." He said.
...Definitely concerned.
I jumped up, taking a step back. "No." I said firmly as he advanced towards me.
"Come on, Link!" Fox pleaded, laughing at my reaction.
"There is nothing you can do to get that thing on me!" I exclaimed.
...
I crossed my arms angrily over my dark-green-dress-clad chest, frowning deeply. Apparently... Fox had a damn death wish.
"Even though this pro'bly won't help in any way at all - some awesome memories and stories'll come outta this!" Fox winked with a smirk.
"You did this for no legit reason?!" I demanded, stumbling slightly in my heels.
"It's kinda funny."
I locked my jaw, raising a clenched fist as I stalked towards him.
No One's POV
"So how did your conversation with Link go?" Samus winked at Zelda. They sat in the foyer of the Smash House on one of the large couches, cross-legged and facing each other.
Zelda bit her lip slightly. "Well, kind of awkward." She admitted slowly.
Samus grinned, flashing her perfect, even white teeth. "I was watching and that guy totally likes you!"
Zelda raised her deep blue eyes to Samus's face, eyebrows lifted. "Do you really... think so?" She asked uncertainly.
"Are you kidding? You'd have to be blind not to see it!" Samus was always enthusiastic when talking about Zelda's love life. Or... lack of one...
Zelda shrugged, still unsure. "He seemed so out of it though."
"Duh!" Samus exclaimed. "He was nervous. You should seriously try talking to him again."
Zelda smiled a little at the idea. "Yeah... I guess you're right." She said. "Maybe I just caught him off guard or something."
Samus nodded, her blonde ponytail swishing with the movement. "Of course I'm right!"
"Hey, Samus." A deep, gravelly voice intervened and the two women lifted their eyes to see Snake standing there. "Zelda." He nodded to her in greeting, never a man of many words.
Samus beamed. "Hey!" She shot up from the couch, throwing her arms around Snake's neck and planting a big kiss on his cheek. She glanced down at Zelda. "Snake and I have plans... will you be alright?"
Zelda nodded with a smile and stood as well. "Yeah, I should talk to him on my own anyway."
"Alright, girlie! I'll see ya later! Expecting details..." she winked, then walked away eagerly with Snake's arm wrapped around her slim waist.
Taking a deep breath, Zelda headed in the direction of Link's room.
...
Zelda stood in front of Link's door, fingers curling and uncurling nervously. Finally she lifted a hand and knocked firmly, but not too loud.
There was an angry sounding exclamation and some shuffling before the door was suddenly swung open to reveal a flushed Link. Someone came to stand beside him and she realized it was... Fox.
But...
They. . .
Both of them wore... dresses and heels; Fox's face was covered in somewhat smeared makeup. Link seemed to register who it was at the door and his eyes widened.
"Z-Zelda." He swallowed visibly.
They were both panting slightly and Link's face was red; their hair was ruffled and messy as well as their... clothing.
So... Link's on that side of the fence?
"Um..." Zelda said uncomfortably. "I should go."
"This isn't what it looks like." Fox said casually, almost nonchalant.
Link spoke up, shaking his head violently. "We were just, like, trying something." He realized what that sounded like and tried to correct himself. "I mean-!"
"It's okay, Link." Zelda said, accepting, and blushed a bit. "I don't mind if this is what you like. See you... around." She smiled a slightly shaky smile and hurried away, red with embarrassment.
Well... that kind of... failed.
Link's POV
Fox shut the door as it seemed that I had frozen in place. I didn't know what to do. I had completely forgotten my appearance when I'd opened the door. Fox stood, finally looking a bit awkward. Good.
"Sorry, dude." He said. I know he didn't do it on purpose. But I was still kinda pissed.
"Oh goddesses..." I breathed. This was awful. Would she still talk to me? Ever?
Fox's nose twitched as he said, "Well, it could have been worse."
I slowly turned around to face him. "Fox..." I began, watching him. Sometimes he was an idiot! "Fox - that could not have gone worse."
He waved his hand lazily. I grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
"She thinks I'm gay!"
"That..." Fox mumbled, pushing my hands off of him. "Could be a problem."
It took everything I had not to punch him right in that stupid fuzzy face of his.
Thanks for reading, please review! Pit will show up in the next one XD and maybe Peach... stay tuned! Thanks guys! :)
