Sorry in advance. I lost work on this, sad as it is with how short it is, and I have zero time to use on writing an authoress note. I apologize to whoever requested Link completing some kind of test to date Sheik, because I have no time to go back and check to see who did. Thanks for the idea though!

Enjoy!

Love Conquers All

(A.k.a. Sheik will regret making a deal with Link.)

Sheik crossed his arms and leaned back against the wall. "Just slip under the guillotines, through the skulltula filled hallway, into the main chamber with more guillotines, and don't fall into the bottomless pits as you navigate the moving platforms."

Link simply blinked back at him. "Why do I have to do this?"

"You wanted to... How did you say it?" A delicate finger tapped at a full but hidden bottom lip. "Date me. Remember, Hero?"

"Oh, yeah. That's right." Said hero sighed and looked back at the start of the course. "Fuck."

Red eyes filled with mirth and blue ones narrowed with pain as a bandaged finger flicked Link's ear. "Watch your mouth, Hero."

Link hissed. "Fuck you, Sheik."

A chuckle escaped the Sheikah, seemingly surprising the both of them, but they recovered quickly. "If you finish this, then by all means, go ahead."

"You're kidding, right?" The hero eyed his companion warily.

Crimson orbs glared. "I cannot lie." Link almost took Sheik's words as a challenge. Was he really telling the truth?

Instead, he shrugged and azure eyes filled with determination. "That is some damn good motivation."

Sheik spoke dryly as Hero turned to the course entrance once more. "You will need it."

A plain board was hung on the wall, the course requirements written on it in Sheikah. "And how am I supposed to complete all this in the time frame."

"Sheikah children complete this course by age six." Gazes locked as Link looked over his shoulder.

"That's impressive. What about you?" Link swore Sheik's lips couldn't stretch any further, but he couldn't be sure through that damned fabric.

Within moment, the Sheikah regarded Link calmly, not a hint of a smirk hiding on his face. "Oh, me. I hold the record."

"Smug bastard." Link looked at the board with new eyes. He could clearly see Sheik's name now, having been taught how to write it in Sheikah months ago.

Sheik must have been a mind reader because of what he said next. "If you can beat my time, then I'll do whatever you want for a day."

Now Link was turned around and leering at his friend. There were new thoughts in his head. Thoughts of how Sheik's flexibility could be put to real good use. A tongue licked at bitten lips. "Be careful what you promise, Sheik."

"I doubt you can finish the course in less time than I, Hero. So, it does not worry me." Link could see the smirk through his cowl and in his eyes. "But good luck."

The competition had begun. "Watch me."

Well, there it is.

Review. Tell me if it was... Good? Bad? Both? Continue? That kind of stuff.

Love and wish-I-had-more-time-to-write, (I miss it.)
