Chapter 4: Kiss and Bite

"Ya ok?" The worry in Malon's voice calmed Sheik, to an extent. He looked down from his spot on the barn to meet her gaze.

"I would lie and say yes, but you know me too well. I am not alright." Sheik paused saying his next words quietly. "I-I love him."

"I know." The bluntness of Malon startled Sheik. "Knew when ya came 'ack from seein' 'im in the Temple of Time that ya did. Ya eyes shin'd when ya spoke of fairy-boy." The nickname she had for Link caused Sheik to laugh, but it was filled with uncertainty.

"It's that obvious, huh?"

"Only ta those t'at really know ya." Malon knew that Sheik needed to hear this next statement more than anything. "It be fine if ya're afraid. T' love someone, it's a big step.

"Come 'ack in when ya ready. Unless ya wanna talk 'bout it." Malon had never known Sheik to cry, but when those few simple words left her lips, he did. Swiftly the farm girl climbed up onto the barn roof and wrapped Sheik in her arms. "Shh. S'ok. No need ta cry."

"I c-can't help it. Missed you." Malon was touched, never had Sheik said something so, so upsetting to her. Link really was changing him.

Throughout the eight years that she had known him before he met Link, never was he like this. Always stayed at a distance. Sure he teased her and spoke his mind on things, but his fears and sorrow were never something she saw. Since meeting Link over a year ago, Sheik had let his weaknesses out more and more. Malon could read him like an open book now.

"Ya more out t'ere now."

"What? Out th-here?" Malon giggled and nodded.

"Yea, Link be changin' ya. Before ya met him, ya was closed off, but now ya aren't." Sheik thought about this. He never would have cried in front of anyone, or at all, a little over a year ago. Showing emotion just wasn't his thing. Happiness, sure. But not anger or misery. Those told people you were weak.

In the past two days alone he has raged at Link, cried because of Link, felt awkward around Link, let Link sleep in his bed. Goddess the list goes on and on! What hadn't he done with Link. Wait don't think about that!

"I need sleep. My mind is running rampant." Sheik moved out of Malon's embrace and hopped off the roof. "Thanks for the talk, Malon. It really helped." Malon jumped down as well and pulled Sheik into one last goodnight hug.

"Glad I could help ya." She yawned and headed inside, Sheik not far behind her.

It didn't take long to get back to the room, perhaps Sheik should have walked slower. Link was curled up on one side of the bed, but when he heard the door open then close he sat up. Apology falling from his lips in a jumble of words.

"Sheik. I-I should not have done that to you. It was w-wrong of me-e to cl-claim you for my ow-own, it just felt right. A-And hearing Aveil ta-alk about want-wanting to have your... well your body upset me! I co-couldn't help myself, I mean I could have, but I didn't w-want to. I needed her to know how I felt about yo - I mean, why she couldn't! And-"

"Quiet, Hero. I understand." Link let out a sigh as the Sheikah slipped into bed. "No need to get your panties in a bunch, princess." The phrase held no malice like it did when Link used it. Only playful teasing.

"Goddess. I am a terrible person." Sheik couldn't stop the giggling that bubbled out of his mouth.

"You are an arse!"

"Hey! I resent that!" Laughter spilling from Link as well.

"We are so strange." It just seemed like the right thing to say, seeing as they are.

"How so?" Link was generally curious over Sheik statement.

"Neither of us can stay mad at the other." Link thought about that. It was true.

"That is because you are just so cute."

"Oh, yeah. And why can't I stay mad at you." The next thing that was said caused both to turn red.

"Cause you love me." Sheik swore his heart stopped.

"I-I don't."

"Why did you stutter then." Link was sure he had caught Sheik with that.

"Your theory was so stupid, it surprised me, is all." Sheik was sure he was in the clear with that and turned from the older boy. "I'm going to sleep. Goodnight, Link." Crimson and cerulean eyes widened.

"Did you -"

"No! I didn't. Forget it, Hero." Sheik cursed at himself. How did that slip out!

"Oh no. You aren't going to start up the 'hero thing' again. My name is Link and now I know you can say it." Link turned Sheik so he was on his back, then sat on him trapping the boy beneath him.

"Hero, please get off." Sheik was beyond embarrassed. Link was straddling him!

"Don't wanna." The hero then proceeded to pout. "Not unless you say my name."

"I won't." Sheik crossed his arms and turned his head away.

"Guess you want to stay like this. Always had a feeling you would bottom." Sheik was shocked. Wasn't the hero supposed to be pure. Had he been thinking of these kind of things all the time, or was being around Aveil turning him.

A bite on his neck brought Sheik back to reality and a moan from his lips. How had Hero gotten his cowl down without him noticing. "Pay attention to me."

"This isn't fair."

"I think it's plenty fair." Link got an idea. "Would you like to return the favor?"

"Favor?"

"Yeah. I bit you. Want a taste?" Sheik was sure Link was messing with him, but the way Hero inclined his head to give Sheik access pushed the Sheikah over the edge. He threw his arms around Link neck and leaned up.

Link shivered with anticipation. Sheik was gonna do it! Instead of his neck the Sheikah's lips brushed the hylian's ear. It disappointed Link for a moment, but then Sheik spoke.

"What is it you want," Sheik paused. Should he? Yes. "Link?"

The hero didn't hesitate for a second. "You." A gasp was heard and quickly muffled by a different pair of lips. Lips that retracted once the owner realized what he had done.

"Sorry, Sheik. You can go to sleep now, cause you said my name and all." The hero got off the stunned warrior and buried himself under the covers.

Link just kissed him. Did it really happen? Was it an accident? Sheik sat there in deep thought for a while, but when light snoring filled the small room he was brought out of his mind. Perhaps the best course of action would be to let whatever just happened go. With that in mind Sheik lay down, snuggling into the older males back, praying to the Goddesses that it wasn't just some joke. Because now that he thought about it, he sure didn't want to just 'let it go'.

The next two days passed without a problem. Link and Sheik did avoid each other, but neither wanted to bring up the night at the ranch. Aveil wasn't told of what happened, but she had a theory.

"Link! Sheik! I can see the fortress!" Aveil kicked Nami into a gallop, happy to be home. It was true. The brick of the fortress could be seen over the cliffs and everyone was happy to be off the road.

"Listen, Sheik. We can't keep doing this." Apparently Link had been waiting to be alone with Sheik to bring up the issue.

"Doing what, Hero?" The contempt for Link apparent in his tone.

"You know what! By the Three, Sheik! If you are so upset over that kiss, then say so! But don't be a prick!" Sheik bristled at that. His feelings overriding everything and his mouth took over.

"Fine! I am upset. You can't just do that, Link! Did you stop to think about my feelings! You seem to think that just because I don't shove you off, that you can do whatever you want! I may want you to touch me and enjoy everytime that you do, but it doesn't give you the right to play with me. I am NOT some boy toy!" Sheik felt exhausted from the outburst, tears squeezing from his eyes as he turned from the hero and closed them. "N-Not some useless t-toy ready to be thrown away when you get a new one."

Then Sheik was gone. Sahar picking up on his emotions and going as fast as her legs could take her to the fortress.

"You okay, Sheik?" Aveil was at the doorway of Sheik's room. A room he was supposed to share with Link. He didn't want to answer her. He was far from alright.

"No. People seem to be asking me that more and more lately." He laughed, but it was dry and hoarse. Crying will do that to you.

"Sheik, tell me what happened at the ranch. Please." It was a friendly command, but a command nonetheless.

"He kissed me." Sheik's voice coming out in a whisper.

"But isn't that good." Sheik shook his head at her words.

"Hero is just playing with me. I mean nothing to him. Just an outlet for his newfound hormones and lust." Aveil couldn't take it anymore and slapped him. "What was tha-"

"You listen here. Link loves you."

"But-"

"Don't interrupt me. That time when you were pretending to sleep, he was lovingly stroking your hair. And by Din, he got so red when I was about to ask if he loved you." How had she known he was awake. Wait, she was going to ask Link if he loved Sheik.

"When I tripped you and the potatoes went everywhere, he could barely stop himself from jumping on you and ravishing you right there." So the hunger in Hero's eyes wasn't his imagination.

"He pulled you into his lap on that bed to protect you from me and to keep you all to himself." Sheik thought back on that moment, it was nice to be in Link's protective embrace.

"Why can't you see what everyone else sees? Your race has the ability to 'see the truth' and yet you are blind to how much he loves you." All the times that Link had touched Sheik in such a way or said something sensual came flooding into his mind, but in a different light. He saw the love in his hero's eyes. The affection that was reserved for Sheik and Sheik alone.

"Where is he?" Aveil was more than excited to see Sheik go to Link.

"Last I saw he was headed to the archery range." Sheik was out the door and down the hall in a few mere heartbeats.

Sheik walked up the slope to the range. Link was there, hopefully. His legs felt like jelly all of a sudden. What if Link rejected him? What if it was too late? What if Link never really loved him?

What if, what if, what if.

Thinking of rejection made him think of acceptance. Sheik took off up the hill again, this time at a run. What if Link was overjoyed that Sheik loved him? What if he to had been waiting for this moment for the past year? What if he loved Sheik just as much, if not more, than he loved Link?

"Link!" The hero's arrow hit the outermost ring of the target. He cursed and turned around, only to be tackled by a panting Sheikah. "Please forgive me!"

"For what?"

"For being a complete jacka-" The rest of his sentence cut off as Link tugged down his cowl and happily kissed him. The shock from the sudden kiss wore off and Sheik couldn't get enough. He grabbed at the hylian's hair, forcing him to come closer. Link groaned at the rough treatment, because Goddesses above, it felt good! A tongue darted out of the hero's mouth and licked the other's lips. Sheik opened his mouth ever so slightly, but that was all Link needed as his tongue darted in, licking each and very inch of the offered mouth.

Link's hands brushed Sheik's sides, causing the younger boy to moan into his mouth, and settled on his hips. He lightly pulled Sheik closer. The impact of Link's body pressed up against his own drove Sheik to break the kiss and breath deeply. The hero couldn't get enough and started trailing kisses down the Sheikah's face, nibbling at his jaw line.

"Goddess, I have wanted this, you, for so long." Link pulled back and caught Sheik's gaze. He couldn't contain his joy at being the only one to touch him like this. Link went back to kissing Sheik, but this time along his neck, each one accompanied with a whispered 'mine'.

"L-Link! Ah! We have a cr-crowd of women watch-watching us! Nh!" Link lifted his head from Sheik's neck to see a huge group of Gerudo girls staring at them.

"Who cares! They can look, but you are mine." In a show of dominance over Sheik, Link bit Sheik's neck. Drawing a small amount of blood in two spots, where his canine teeth were. Sheik clawed at his back, sure that the bite would leave a pair of tiny scars. Link was marking him as his own! And Goddess Din, he loved it, if the long drawn out moan was any indication.

"You're tasty!" Link licked the crimson liquid from Sheik's neck. Sheik looked over to his newfound lover, who was pleading for more. "Please? Another bite?"

The Gerudo women, that had been forgotten, couldn't hold in the collective 'aww', various wolf whistles, and cat calls.

"N-No!" Link now looked like a kicked puppy.

"But why not!" Sheik huffed and turned in Link arms, looking out at the desert instead of at Link's chest.

"I said no. A-And that means no." The hero wasn't known for giving in.

"In private?" He whispered this in Sheik's ear, so quietly the Gerudo couldn't hear even if they tried. Hesitation was evident in Sheik's light nod. "Yay!" Goddess! If Link had a tail, Sheik was sure it would be wagging!

Woot! Another chapter up!

So, how was it? Did you like some stuff and hate others? I gotta know!

Till we meet again.
