Mwhahaha! Everybody ready?

Enjoy!

67. Boundaries

Lips and teeth and tongue. Coming together in desperation. The sound of ragged breathing and the smell of sex in the air. No light to be found. The occupants of the room finding what they need not with sight, but memory. Knowing the others body as they know their own and perhaps better. Moans being draw as a liquid fire tongue runs its course. A hiss as a searching mouth makes contact with the soft skin of a neck. Whimpering as a body is pushed further into the lush bed. Hips connecting in a rhythm that would normally be erratic. Cries bouncing off the walls as the pace increases. Toes curling in the sheets and fingers grasping blond locks. The sun is rising and they know they need to part, but neither wants to stop. Light streaming in to lighten the room just enough.

Rose and cornflower. Wine and water. Earth and sky. Blood and tears. Ruby and sapphire. Crimson and cobalt. Red and blue. Sheik and Link.

"Get off me, Hero." Link groaned. Great, Sheik was in business mode now. And right after a good bout of sex. Weird how Sheik can look deadly covered in sweat, eyes clouded with lust, and breathing heavily.

"I like this position." The once-hero tilts his hips forward and the man under him blushes. "But perhaps I will think of moving if you give me something."

"Forget it." Link deadpanned.

"You don't even know what I was going to ask for!" Hyrule's hero pouted. The warrior gave in. Link chuckled.

"Fine. What is it you want?" Link pretended to ponder for a moment, but he couldn't keep a smile from forming on his face.

"Say my name." Sheik's face reddened further. The man only said Link's name when overcome with passion. It was mainly an accident. Which turned into a daily thing. Well... nightly. They didn't dare do this during the day. Too many ears. But his name falling from those lips was the greatest luxury the Hero would ever indulge in. Pushing just a bit too far to cause the Sheikah under him to lose control. Being rewarded with legs tightening and muscles contracting.

And his name.

"Link." Shivers ran up his spine. Gods. Sheik didn't know what he did to Link. Or maybe he did. That could be why he was smirking. Link's eyes widened as he realized a hand was on his leg. Fingers running dangerously close to something he hoped the Sheikah wouldn't touch. He wouldn't be able to control himself. Sheik probably wouldn't be able to walk today, if he wasn't there already. But they had never continued into the day. Maybe today... Link could bring the younger to his home and push him into his bed. Make memories in his bed instead of at an inn.

"Sheik-"

"No. Now get up. The princess will be waking soon and I need to be there." Link moved aside and watched as the other rose from the bed. He was so very graceful. The scattered clothes being collected. Sheik was dressed quickly. Usually he would go slow. Giving Link plenty to look at. But today Link had messed up. Pushed for something that couldn't be. And he could tell that Sheik was upset about it. The warrior would never cry. No. That wasn't a Sheik-thing. He just got quiet and not the good kind.

"I'm sorry, Sheik." Link fiddled with the blanket in a nervous manner. Why was he such a screw up? How did Sheik put up with him? "I shouldn't have-"

Link's words were cut short as Sheik leaned over and kissed him. It was a short kiss, probably just to shut Link up, but it was sad. Like Sheik wanted to say something but couldn't and Link wasn't able to understand.

"I would if I could. But you know as well as I that this shouldn't happen. We can't. As far as the princess knows, I never came to you and told you that I was real. You don't know I exist. I am her. She is me. And you love her." Link's heart dropped into his stomach as Sheik spoke. Then his ears perked up at the last bit. Sheik must have noticed, for he spoke before Link could find the words he wanted. "Yes. I love you, Link. But Zelda doesn't know and we cannot allow her to. If she finds out, I will lose you."

It all came back to that, didn't it. Zelda didn't send Link back in time because she believed he loved her as she did him. If she were to find out any different...

"Believe me when I say I want to spend every waking moment with you, Link. But I c-can't." Hyrule's hero was shocked as his guide cried. For the first time, he cried. All the Sheikah training seeming to leave Sheik as Link pulled him up into his lap. Leaving Sheik as the confused child he never got to be. And Link comforted him far into the day.

The boundaries they had were no more. Zelda would come soon and find them together, but neither cared. If time was reset, they would just find each other again.

67. Question

It was one, simple question for Sheik that left Link's mouth dry and hands clammy.

What did we think? Too risky or just enough?

This happened as I was looking on my list for a good word. It poofed into my mind and wouldn't leave! So here we are.

Review? I like 'em. They make me write more and we know where that leads. More reviews! More stories! And the cycle continues.

Just real quick. How would you guys feel if I wrote a chapter where Sheik was only in an oversized sweater? Not sure how that would turn out or what the plot would be (if there was one), but if you guys think it could be awesome, tell me!

Love and snuggles,
