I was thinking of Idea's for new stories since I rarely get a chance to write over summer. (I used my school computer for my writing to the computer) and I came up with this but it didn't feel long enough to be a REAL one shot so it's a drabble.
Men ... they are the same in her eye's never as good as they claimed. Not to be unfair she did recognize them for as good as they were. They however did not, arrogant, chauvinistic, vain, annoying pigs. The sea does that to men, and in a world of island's and sea, there are of course few men NOT of this breed.
In this world of the sea, as her mother taught her a girl will be considered a woman when she either look's it or act's it. Unfortunately at the age of 16 she was both. Not that she had a choice. Inheriting both the looks and body of her mother as well as her mother's responsibility as captain, Tetra is in the eyes of all the men around her ... a full grown and quite enticing woman.
Women of her stature of course attract men of MUCH LOWER stature. Not that her crew didn't do all they could to protect her. Driving the worst of them off. But there were always time when another arrogant man would approach and flirt with her. Of course she could more than handle herself in these situations but it was still a bother.
Looks were one thing that always angered her the most arrogant were always the prettiest. She of course had her limits but look's mattered very little but arrogance was one thing she would not hesitate to stab someone over.
Perhaps it was all this that made her current situation so pleasing. The way he stood, the way he couldn't look into her eyes, His stuttering. All made him look like a coward. But this mixed with the knowledge of how untrue the thought is, that pleased her to no end.
It would be ungodly to attempt to count how many time's he had launched himself face first into hoard's of hoard's of beast's, Or how many time's he had protected her the crew or the ship been half dead blood all over none of it being any one he protected. Hell this guy walk's around armed to the teeth with weapons.
So the fact that the fearless Hero of the Wind's was blushing and stuttering while attempting to ask her to go out to lunch was just precious. To her this was how a man should be ... humbled in the presence of the one they desire. It even made her a little nervous but a giddy nervous.
He stood blushing anxious for an answer. All she could think about was how she couldn't believe the perfection of the moment. Delving deeper into thought only hurt his confidence more as the more she thought the more he seemed to have no chance.
It was confounding to say the least. How could a man be this right Kind clever well above her standards of look's Brave and Humble. Men aren't like this ... not ever ... but then again he's not a normal man.
... He's the essential opposite of an arrogant man ... he's Link. So of course she said.
"...Yes" She blushed lightly. "Yes I will go out with you Link"
He of course looked the same as if she had just slapped him and laughed. Shocked awed and amazed it was astounding. Pulling it together he found a bit of his long lost courage (a very good sign in her eye's) managed to silence his blush and look at her finally.
"Thank you Tetra..."
She snatched his hand and held onto his arm. Yes he is a man but a good man he's Link.
The opposite of Arrogant.
... I don't know what if there even is one for writing this but I did it's a Drabble there is no point but to entertain after all.
