Another chapter up! Yay! Quite pleased with myself for all that I have written. Still have thousands of words to go before I have to write more. Not that it matters because I am constantly writing on this one. Hope you are having as much fun as I am with these two. xD
Gender Confused Kitty
Chapter 3: Potatoes
The morning sun came in the huge floor to ceiling windows. Neither boy wanted to get up. Link had been running his fingers through Sheik's white-blonde locks that framed his face and Sheik was enjoying the attention while pretending that he was still asleep as to not embarrass both of them.
A knock at the door was followed by the sound of it swinging open and a chorus of awes. Sheik suspected that it was Zelda, Aveil, and the princess's personal servant for the day. "As cute as this is, we need to head out soon. Mind waking your lover. Hmm Link." Aveil voice was not rushed, because she was not in a hurry. It sounded like she loved what she saw. Girls and their obsession over boy-on-boy action, especially the Gerudo.
"Even if Sheik was my lover I would not wake him." Link sounded heartbroken and happy beyond belief all at the same time.
"Well, why ever not. You enjoy watching him sleep? He is very beautiful, so I could see where you are coming from. The man rivals all woman in that factor." Aveil laughed as the hero's face lit up. "Oh, does Linky lo-" Whatever she was about to say was cut off as a pillow hit her full on in the face. Laughing could be heard as Zelda, her helper, and Aveil left, reminding Link that the man in his arms needed to be awoken and that he would become someone else's if Link waited much longer.
A hand gently brushed Sheik's hair aside and a kiss was placed on his forehead. "Mmm." Sheik hadn't meant for that to come out, but it had felt good to have the hero's lips on him.
"Hehe. Wake up Sheik. We have to go soon." Sheik made it seem like he had just woke up, and cuddled into Link's stomach.
"Don't wanna, my love." Sheik laughed as Link stared down at him wide-eyed. "Waking up to your handsome face was worth letting you sleep with me." He winked at Link as he got up and quickly got dressed. Clothes from the previous day taken off, then a blue exosuit, Sheikah tabard, slim blue boots, cowl, and various wrappings were donned and Sheik was ready for the day.
The trio set out not long after the two men had eaten. Epona was waiting for them at the stables. As were two other horses. A beautiful, young, tan mare walked right up to Aveil, nudging her, practically demanding to be out of the grasslands and back into the desert she loved.
"Nami, how have you been girl?" Aveil's voice when speaking to the horse was the same as when Link spoke to Epona or Sheik to his horse, Sahar, with much love and kindness.
Speaking of Sheik's horse, Sahar was a Gerudo-bred horse. Her mane silver that looked blue in the sunlight, while her coat was a rich golden yellow not unlike Link's hair and matched her playful demenor. She had long since grown used to the rolling hills, instead of sand, but much enjoyed the desert when Sheik visited his old home.
The horses had already been saddled and the groups supplies were packed upon them. Aveil must have rushed the stable boys. Sheik shook his head. Traveling with Aveil was going to be fun.
"So, shall we set out?" Link's words pulled the Sheikah from a memory of traveling through the desert with Aveil. He wasn't quite sure why Nabooru had let them go so easily after losing her father's hunting knife.
"Yes. We should be able to make it to Lon Lon Ranch by sundown if we head out now." Sheik always thought ahead. It was a long journey to the Gerudo Fortress, three stops would be made, two to camp and one to rest at the ranch.
"Good. I can't wait to be under the hot desert sun!" The woman then stretched her arms out, possibly imagining she was in the sand filled land.
"Aveil, it's all the same sun." A light smack could be heard, accompanied by a high squeak. "Did you just hit my behind!"
"And if I did?" A smug smile was adorning the girl's face. "Watcha gonna do 'bout it? Huh?"
"I could put a sandworm in your bed when we get back to the desert." Sheik would have been proud of the retort, seeing as Aveil hated the almost scaley worms, if she hadn't tackled him.
"Be prepared for the tickling of a lifetime, my dear friend." Aveil then proceeded to back up her words by wiggling her fingers over the Sheikah's stomach, causing him to yelp.
"A-a! Aveil! Ahh, st-top! Oh God-goddess pl-please!" Talking while laughing wasn't working too well for the boy. So when the tickling stopped he was thankful. For a moment.
"Sheik is ticklish?" This caused the boy in question to look to the hero, who was holding the Gerudo to his chest. Oh no! Link knew he was ticklish now.
"Would you like a turn?" Aveil was itching to get home, but the Hylian and Sheikah were so cute!
"Hero, please don't. We need to make some progress. You can..." Sheik trailed off trying to come up with something that would catch Link's interest.
"You could share Sheik's bed at the ranch!" Aveil seemed more excited about that then Link would be.
"Aveil!" Sheik was horrified. How could she tell Link something like that? He stood up to tell her off, when a quiet voice cut in.
"Ok." Both the Gerudo and Sheikah turned to gape at the hero. Link was blushing like mad, but Goddess if he was going to pass up a chance to cuddle the other male.
"Malon really doesn't have enough beds for all of us, just two guest rooms each with a bed. And we all know she would give hers up. It would work out fine, besides" Link stopped and gave Sheik such a sexy smile that the Sheikah thought he might melt, "you could wake up to my handsome face."
Traveling with Aveil and Link was a pain. Aveil had grown fond of asking Link and Sheik the most awkward of questions. The worst part being that Link answered them!
"Ok, Link. Who in this whole wide world would you do?" Did she really just!
"Aveil! You can't ask people that!" She pouted ever so slightly then grinned.
"Does Sheik have a nice arse, Link?" Said Sheikah went red in the face, but listened intently nonetheless.
"Well, I guess. I don't... don't really... look." That was a lie if Aveil had ever heard one. This needed investigating.
Guys!" Both men turned toward the woman. "Can we take a break? Please?" Sheik rolled his eyes.
"Why would we do that?" She thought for a moment, but Sheik's question was answered as a loud growl sounded.
"Ummm... Lunch sounds nice." Link was blushing all the way up his ears.
"Fine. What do we have to eat?" Saddlebags were dug through and various food gotten out.
"Can we have stew?" Aveil sounded hopeful. "Sheiky?"
"I suppose I can make stew. We have what we need for it." Sheik sighed. "I suppose I will be cooking then, since you two are lost causes."
"I can peel potatoes if you want." Link wanted to help in any way possible. Not only to get food quicker, but so they could get back on the road so Sheik's mood would improve.
"I will supervise!" Helping was boring, of course Aveil wouldn't.
"So you won't be doing anything." A laugh sounded from the hero.
"Exactly!"
Not long and there was a fire, water boiling in a pot over it. Link was peeling the potatoes and carrots, while Sheik was preparing meat. Aveil had a splendid idea. "Sheik!" Said boy lifted his head to look at her as if to say 'what'.
"Can you hurry please! My stomach is going to eat me." Sheik, who had finished with what he was doing, shrugged. He headed over to Link and cut up the potatoes. Soon the potatoes were peeled and cut up in a bowl. This was the kind of situation Aveil was hoping for. As Sheik was carrying the bowl over, she tripped him, sending Sheik and the potatoes to the ground.
"What was that for?!" Sheik was furious! Why in all of Hyrule woud she do that! Aveil simply shrugged her shoulders.
"They will be fine, just need to wash 'em off." Sheik mumbled curses under his breath and started picking the potatoes up. Link noticed this, set down his bowl of carrots, and went to help, but was distracted as the Sheikah leaned across the ground to gather the dropped food. His muscles stretching as he reached. Back curved toward the ground, body layed out to the afternoon sun in such a way that was enticing and arosing poor Link.
"Looks nice, don't he." Aveil saw this as an opportunity. "Wouldn't you rather eat him, hmm. Sure looks yummy all stretched out like that." Her words were pushing Link to act. Goddess, it was hard not to!
"N-no! I can't, DON'T, like him that way." But as he said it they both knew it wasn't true.
Malon welcomed the trio into her home. The sun had set a while back and Sheik was furious that they hadn't made it in time.
"I apologize for keeping you up, Malon." The rancher's daughter just giggled.
"T'was no prob'em at all, dearie." She laid her hand on Sheik's shoulder and the other two members of the trio froze. No one touched Sheik without his ok. Besides Link, but that was only because he was stubborn. Sheik didn't seem to notice the hand, instead focusing on Malon's heavy accent. It had been far to long since he heard it.
"Thank you for letting us stay here." A hidden smile was shown as the hand on his shoulder moved faster than Link or Aveil thought it could, fingers gripping Sheik's cowl and pulling it down. A kiss was placed on the warrior's cheek before he could blink, causing a laugh to bubble from Sheik's lips as a pink flush fell upon his face.
"We talk'd 'bout t'is. Ya face stays uncovered 'round me, Sheikah." Aveil's and Link's jaws dropped.
"I must have forgotten." Sheik winked at her before pulling the farm girl into a hug. Link was livid at this. Sheik and Malon were teasing each other. It seemed as though they were flirting!
"Who 'ants what room?" They all shrugged. Malon turned to Aveil. "Ms. Aveil, please folla' me. Link and Sheik can find t'eir room 'n t'eir own." And with that she turned and walked up the stairs, Aveil in tow.
Sheik was surprised. Malon hadn't offered her room up. She must be planning something. He looked over at Link, who was just as confused.
The two men headed up the stairs. Down the hall were six doors, only one was open. They figured the one was open for a reason, it must be the room they get to use. The rest were probably Malon's room, Talon's room, a bathroom, the other guest bedroom, and Ingo's room.
Sheik stepped in first and a chill went down his spine as he looked at the double bed. He was going to share that with Link. Nerves were getting the better of him and he yelped when a light pressure was put on his back. Link jumped at the sound, then chuckled. It seem Sheik was just as nervous if not more so than Link.
The two men were staring up at the ceiling, both trying to focus on anything other than their closeness. Sure they had shared a bed before, the previous night was proof of that, but the potato incident was running through both boys' heads.
Sheik was curious as to why Link had been watching him pick up the dropped vegetables with a hunger in his eye. It sure wasn't the normal kind, more of a wolf looking at his prey. It frightened and excited him in ways that made his stomach do flips.
Link couldn't get the image of the other boy's body out of his mind. Aveil hadn't help the situation, only caused the hero to want the warrior more. The hero was nervous that Sheik had noticed his adoration. Oh, how he wanted to devour the other blonde.
"Hey, Sheik?" Sheik turned over in the bed to look at Link, but instead only saw the hero's back.
"Yes, Hero." Link tensed, readying himself for what he was about to say.
"Why do you act so open around Malon? Do you like her?" This surprised the Sheikah. Where had the hero - oh. It must have looked like they were flirting. Sheik couldn't hold in the laugh this revelation brought on, and it fought it's way out.
"What's so funny?! I-I was being serious!" Link flipped to his other side to find Sheik wiping tears from his eyes.
"Malon and I have been friends for years, we're pretty much siblings. We knew each other as children, long before I housed the princess." Sheik looked into the hero's eyes for the next part. "I couldn't like Malon that way, but she is one of my very good friends and knew me far before I wore my cowl. She won't allow me to wear it around her because of that." The warrior felt as though he should clear up a few things.
"As you know travelers stop at Lon Lon Ranch to rest, and the Gerudo are no different. My friendship with Malon was a result of this. You see, I used to travel with them when they headed to Castle Town to find men to father more daughters." Sheik couldn't stop the blush that those words brought on. "Actually, when I came of age, the Gerudo wanted me to umm... well you get the point. But I didn't."
"We sure did! The boy is gorgeous and would have made beautiful gerudo girls." Both men sat up and looked at the door. Aveil stood there grinning. "The offer still stands, you know seeing as we offered it to you just last year."
Link stunned the both of them by pulling Sheik into his lap and nuzzling his neck. "I can't allow that Aveil. Sheik is mine."
"H-Hero?" He was acting like a wolf again. All protective of his mate. "I am not yours."
"Oh, but you are." Link ran his fingers up Sheik's sides, causing a shiver to run through his body. "See. You react so wonderfully to the smallest touch." The hero accented his words by blowing on Sheik's ear.
"Ah!" Oh goddess! Did he just...!
"Told you." Sheik couldn't take much more of this. Hero wasn't serious. But by the Three it felt so good. Another shiver tore through the warrior's body as Link licked up his ear.
"Mmm." Nayru's love, what was he doing to Sheik! "E-Enough!" Sheik wiggled out of the other male's hold and practically jumped from the bed. He sprinted past Aveil, who had stood there watching the display, down the hall and jumped the stair railing, making a mad dash out the door into the cool night air.
Welcome to the end of the words! See what I did there. Hehe *nervous chuckle* ~crickets churping~ Aww... no one liked my punny-ness. No fun.
Oh well. Review cause I knows you be out there. I see you. You're not the Hidden!
~Love and hugz
Annoying :)
