Yeah I know I said I wouldn't post these until they got edited but my friend has a busy life and can't always help out plus they aren't always in the mood to edit. With all that in mind I decided to post things and only update after they had edited, I've done my best but they can do better.
I wish my editor friend well and a good day xD I hope you all enjoy! xD
"I'm bored hero." The Demon King said dully. "What do you want me to do about it?" Link snapped. "...Dance." Demise's tone sounded far too cheerful. "I'll kick you instead, how about that?" The hero hissed sharply, no way he was dancing.
Demise and Link both went silent after that. A month had gone by, Link could sadly say he had gotten used to life here with the gerudos, he was even starting to like having Demise around. That was something he was not ever saying out loud.
Currently he and Demise were sitting under a tree in the orchard that was rather large, considering it was in a desert. Link was trapped up against Demise's chest with the Demon King's arms wrapped around him; he had tried to get free but gave up as Demise's hold was too strong.
"I'm bored hero." Demise repeated. Link cursed sharply and sent his head back against Demise's chin, hearing a hiss. "Then let me go and go do something constructive! You are the Gerudo King, there has to be things for you to do!" Link growled trying to wiggled his way out of Demise's arms.
The Demon King wasn't having that and circled his arms around Link more securely to ensure he couldn't get away. "I'm going to kill you." Link said darkly going limp in the larger man's hold. It was no use trying to get free, Demise was just too strong, he always had been. "I'd love to see you try hero." Demise hummed wickedly, resting his chin on Link's head making him twitch.
"I am going to kill you, slowly and make sure you suffer." Link growled, jabbing his left elbow into Demise's stomach which didn't get the desired effect of his freedom. The Demon King merely grunted and tapped his head roughly with his chin. "Just sit still will you?" Demise growled. "Am I hurting you?" He asked sharply.
"Just because you aren't right now doesn't mean you won't later, I don't trust you." Link snapped managing to cross his arms over his chest. The Demon King scoffed and settled down further, sealing Link's fate that he wasn't going anywhere for a while. "...I hate you." Link groaned out, earning a chuckle. "I'm sure you do hero." Demise replied with a smirk.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
Link couldn't believe he was stuck in the orchard being...hugged by Demise. The Demon King had fallen asleep around twenty minutes ago. Link had, of course, tried to get away but Demise just held him tighter even in his sleep. Wonderful.
The hero looked up into the apple tree, it seemed to have been harvested recently. Looking around most of the other trees looked the same, empty- Link jerked when something hit his head. A small green apple bounced off the ground and rolled a few feet away before stopping. Link gave the tiny apple a dull look, of course it would land on him and not Demise.
A cold wind blew through making Link rather annoyed with Demise since he couldn't go back to the room he stayed in to avoid the chill. He turned slightly to glance at Demise and groaned, he had no other option here. He was getting the Demon King for this later.

"Guys, come look!" Nina whispered to her friends as she waved them over.
"We're here, what did I need my pictograph for?" Sisli asked holding the small box with lenses up.
"Look." Nina pointed through the orchard, all the little girls gave a soft squee.
Their Lord Ganon was sitting with his back against an apple tree, he had the Tall Man in front of him held close. The Tall man was pressed against his chest, face in his shoulder cuddled close.
"I'm taking the picture...I wanna get closer though." Sisli said as she began to crawl over, the other girls stayed behind still squeeing and awing. Sisli got a good shot of them then quickly got back to her friends to look at the picture together. They had to show their mommys this!
Sup I'm a big time skip xD
Demise was rather confused to see the hero chasing after a couple little girls who were fond of him, they were tossing something around...a box it looked like. Whenever it was tossed the hero changed targets.
"I appear to have missed something, what is happening over there?" Demise asked one of the mother's of the girls who grinned at him. "Oh, one of them got a picture."
"A picture?" Why would that set off the hero?
She smirked at him. "A picture of the orchard from this afternoon."
Demise froze then was rushing over to help the hero get the box from the girls.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
Link panted heavily in the chair he was sitting in, in a rather large living room. It had taken both him and Demise two hours to get the box from the girls which held the picture they had taken. There was only the one copy thank goodness.
"I don't remember kids ever being that fast." Link rasped shaking the box a little listening to the paper rattle a bit inside. "So what do we do with it?" He asked. "Burn it?"
"No." Demise said snatching the box and opening it to get the picture. He placed the picture on a table in front of the seats they were in. To Link's surprise another picture appeared beside that looked the same. "Don't lose it." Demise said handing link one of the pictures while he took the other. "Don't give me that look, we rarely are able to even talk without going for each other's throats."
Link said nothing to that as he looked at the picture. Maybe...it wouldn't be bad to keep the thing. "Don't think this means anything Demise." Link said softly not looking at him.
Demise didn't respond. He knew the hero wasn't going to be admitting anything any time soon. The Demon King...was disappointed. What was the hero so afraid of by admitting he cared? Demise looked at the man subtly gaze for once soft. It wouldn't change anything if he said it.
Sup I'm a big time skip xD
"Demise what does roiyaritī mean?" Link was certain he said that word wrong but he wasn't sure.
The Demon King turned to look at him and stiffened seeing the book in his hands. He forced himself to relax and said, "I don't know, I've been trying to find out." Demise sent the book back to his desk and sealed it in place so the hero couldn't grab it again. "Leave my things alone hero."
Link rolled his eyes and gave Demise a dry look. "So sorry I messed with your mess." He snipped flicking some papers sending them floating around the desk.
Demise was next to him in an instant and had hold of his wrists. "If you have nothing better to do please go and help the ladies with the coming festival." Demise said all but shoving the hero out of his office.
Link stumbled when Demise let him go and pushed him roughly out of the office. "Could have just told me to leave." He muttered annoyed. He had planned on helping the gerudo with the festival preparations anyway, he started his way out of the castle unaware Demise was planning something for him that he would hate beyond anything else the Demon King had ever done.
Sup I'm a big time skip xD
The Festival of Sands had been interesting to see, the gerudo be them children, teens or adults they had all danced and performed. Food and sweets had been made and were placed on several stands around the town and market. The decorations were nice too, the slight red lighting looked pretty. Link had been rather pleased to receive a red tunic so he wouldn't be out of place, it didn't have special properties but that didn't matter.
His little fan club had convinced him to dance in little circles with them and a couple of the women had gotten him to dance with them too, he didn't know the steps too well and sure as hell couldn't move the way they could but everyone had fun. Even Demise had fun, Link had tried to ignore him but it was hard to do when he wasn't giving off his evil demonic laugh and frankly just...not being evil.
Link was sitting on the cool sand with a few of the little girls around him. The gerudo women were dancing around a large fire, waving red see through thin cloths and clicking little golden timbles together. It was nice to just sit back and relax, he hadn't really just relaxed since Demise had dragged him down here. Now he felt calm enough to do so.
He heard giggling and looked down a at the girls with a smile seeing them trying to figure out cat's cradle.
"They are really fond of you." Link turned his head to the right as a gerudo woman sat beside him. "They all call you Tall Man...have you ever told them your name?" She asked him amused.
"Heh," He shook his head. "I have but they didn't care, they like calling me Tall Man and I don't really mind." Link said with a chuckle.
He continued to talk with the woman and a few others losing track of time. After a few hours the little girls fell asleep leaning on him, their mothers came to get them and brought them home.
All the while Demise had been watching the first hero. The fire light lit up his eyes and caused his light blonde hair to shine, the red tunic suited him well. Demise kept finding himself staring at the man as the night went on. The little girls had been brought home a while ago, the gerudo were enjoying getting to know the man better and simply chatting with him.
The Demon King turned his attention else where as he still had things to take care of for the festival. Midnight was when the festival ended. He wondered how the man would react to the sight of the sky.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
"It's almost time."
Link followed the woman's gaze to the sky. When he asked about the festival when he helped set up they had all grinned at him and remained secretive. Two minutes passed in silence for the fire still going strong then it happened. Slowly but surely the sky turned crimson, upon looking down Link noticed the sand had also gone red. How was that happening? What caused it?
The crimson lasted for five minutes then it faded back to the night black starry sky, the sand had gone back to being goldn as well.
"How...did that happen?" Link asked the woman next to him.
She smiled and shrugged. "We have no idea, it's happened for years now. Whatever it is, it makes our soil healthy and fertile, the sand is cooler on hot days and warmer at nights when it's cold. That's just all we've noticed so far, who knows what else it does." She explained to him in slight awe.
The hero blinked at her then nodded, he looked over to Demise finding he was instructing a couple of women who were getting ready to perform a final dance. Did Demise set all this up? The sky going crimson? Link wouldn't put it past him, he did take very good care of the gerudo.
"Lord Ganon." A young teen whispered to Demise as she got close to him.
"Yes?"
"Your friend fell asleep." She said pointing over to where the hero was was lying on his side in the sand.
Demise nodded to her in thanks and made his way over to the sleeping hero. The Demon King couldn't recall a single time the man ever looked so relaxed and peaceful. Slowly, gently he slipped his arms under the hero's body and lifted him from the sand. He was surprised the man didn't wake...was he in that deep a sleep? The Demon King began to make his way to the castle to put the hero in his bed.
Sup I'm a small time skip xD
The Demon King pulled the covers back with a spell then set the hero on the on the bed a covered him up to his chest. Demise didn't leave though, he hadn't ever seen the hero with his guard down like this before, he looked different younger and more innocent. Demise reached out and lightly brushed a few bangs away from Link's face...his hair shined in the moonlight as well.
Why was it going to come to this? Why did he have to use such a method to get the hero to stay?
"Why could you not have simply joined me in the beginning Link?" Demise asked the sleeping hero softly. "Everything would have been much easier." Demise gently stroked the hero's cheek with the back of his fingers. What he would do had chances of doing lasting damage, that was last thing he wanted to do but he could find no other method to make him stay. "You will not leave Link, you will stay...you will stay here with me." The Demon King whispered.
Link was his and soon would be his, Demise had just a few more things to do before he could ensure Link stayed with him.
