So Stupid
Ch. 3
Malon's scent was intoxicating. It wrapped itself around Link's mind and held him there, toyed with him. Her lips hovered just millimeters above his own and he could see his reflection in her warm brown eyes. Then, they descended that last distance and her lips were caressing his as one of her hands wove its way through his hair. Link let one hand rise to caress her cheek and then fall to her shoulder. His lips moved from hers and drifted to her neck, kissing gently. Malon leaned back onto the bed and Link followed, laying next to her as his hands drifted to the hem of her blouse. He pulled from her long enough to lift the garment and looked into her lust-filled eyes. His gaze drifted from Malon's face to her body -- creamy, smooth and curvy. Again, his lips descended, this time to her collar bone and his hand went to her back to unclasp her bra.
"Link, you need to wake up!" Link's eyes flashed open as Navi pounded into his forehead. "You're supposed to meet Malon in an hour!" He swatted Navi away and raked a hand through his slightly damp hair. He was painfully aware of the little present his dream had left him and wanted more than anything to do something about it.
"Navi, I'm going to take a shower."
"Well, hurry up we don't have much time!" He got out of bed and made his way to door that led to his personal washroom and turned the water on in the shower, quickly adjusting it to the right temperature before removing his clothes and stepping into the warm spray. Images of Malon drifted through his mind. Her soft lips, half-lidded brown eyes dark with lust, the way her back might arch, how musical her voice would sound gasping his name... He almost felt guilty.

"Oh, come on you silly horse, we have... to... go!" Malon pulled on the reins again, but the horse wouldn't budge a bit. It had rained the night before and the horse and Malon were both covered in sticky black mud. Furious and frustrated, the red-head turned and kicked the fence post, only causing injury to herself, as she belatedly realized, hopping around on one foot.
"Trying to leave without me?" The voice sounded more amused than anything else and made Malon turn her head.
"I'm surprised you have the nerve to show up here." A confused look crossed Link's features.
"What do you mean?"
"You're engaged to that princess!" Link went with his first instinct -- deny, deny, deny, always deny.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Malon's eyes narrowed.
"Yes you do, don't you try to deny it. You're engaged to that Zora and I know it!" It started as a smile, and then a little quiver, and before the poor girl knew what was happening she was staring at a man laughing so hard he had to support himself on the fence. "What's so funny!" He took a minute to catch his breath.
"She's... not my... fiance..." He took another deep breath and composed himself. "Her name is Ruto and she has it stuck in her head that I proposed to her seven years ago when I was a child. She keeps insisting that I marry her, but to be quite honest, royalty's really not my thing." Malon let it sink in a minute.
"So you're not getting married?"
"Not to her, I'm not." Relief flooded Malon's veins and she smiled.
"Well, in that case, help me with this horse, it doesn't seem to want to budge." Link looked at the horse. It was beautiful -- red with mane and tail and what looked like white socks just above it's hooves. "Her name is Epona and, normally, she's a sweetie and listens to me, but today it seems she just doesn't feel like it." Link let one of his hands caress her neck. The horse's deep brown eyes glanced at him and she picked up her muddy hooves, stuck in the mud due to her refusal to move, and walked forward to Malon who was rummaging through a bag she had with her, trying to find some carrots.
"She seems okay to me." Malon turned, about to say something, when she was met with a horse nose in her face, briefly frightening her and causing her to fall backwards into the mud.
"Oof!"
"Are you okay?" Link looked at her, a little worried, and helped her up.
"Yeah I'm fine, just even muddier than before." She smiled. "I hope you don't mind, considering you're going to have to sit behind me on Epona." The blond shook his head.
"Nah, I don't mind." Malon then noticed what Link was wearing. When she first met him he was wearing black leggings and a white tunic with black belt, boots and gloves. Now, he was wearing a green tunic with leggings and hat, brown boots, gloves and belt and was equipped with a sword and shield. She smiled. "What?"
"You look like one of the little fairy boys today." He stared at her strangely for a moment and smiled.
"That's because I am!" Navi flitted out of what seemed like nowhere and hovered above Link's head, drifting toward Malon and back.
"Oh wow! It's a little fairy!"
"Hey! My name is Navi!" Malon smiled a bit.
"She's so cute."
"I'm right here! Don't tell him I'm cute, tell me I'm cute!" Link smiled.
"I suppose we should get going, though, don't you think?" Malon looked at the sun, briefly, and noted that if they were going to make it to Lon Lon Ranch before dinner, they'd have to live now.
"Yeah, just a second." Malon's hands fell to the side of her skirt and she unbuttoned a couple of buttons and began sliding it down. Link's throat closed up a bit and his eyes grew a little wider. What was she doing? A couple of seconds later Malon stood in front of him in fitted brown leggings, her skirt bundled up. She turned to put said garment in one of the saddle bags and Link couldn't help himself -- he was only a guy. His eyes rested on Malon's shapely ass. It was very round and Link thought it was possibly the most beautiful rear end he'd ever seen.
"What are you doing?" Link shook his head a moment, desperately hoping a blush wasn't staining his features.
"Oh, sorry, I spaced out for a moment."
"Well, come on." Malon got up onto the horse. Link stood there a moment. She hadn't put anything on over those extremely thin leggings, and that's all he was wearing too. And he was going to be sitting behind her. Close behind her. "You do know how to mount a horse, right?" He looked at her again.
"Yes, yes I do."
"Because, if you don't, I can teach you really quick..."
"No, no, I know how to mount a horse. I'm the king of mounting horses, I'll have you know." Malon rolled her eyes.
"Sure you are, just hop on." Link approached the horse and got up on it. His body slid incredibly close to Malon's as soon as he'd swung his leg over. He scooted back a bit, trying to be respectful to his space. Malon looked back at him a little bit. "Hey, you'll fall off if you're that far back. Are you even on the saddle?" It's true, he was half off the saddle and did feel like he would fall off at any moment. "Just slide forward, okay? You can put your hands on my waist if you'd like." Link definitely felt a little blush come to his face as he slid forward just a little bit. "Come on, silly! I'm not going to bite you." Malon grabbed Link's arm and pulled him so that his body was flush against hers, then put both his hands on her waist. "Hyrule Field is big, so to make it to Lon Lon Ranch in time for dinner, we'll have to start out fast, okay?"
"Okay." Not a moment after he'd said that, Malon kicked the horse into a full gallop and the land was rushing past them in quick blurs. The ground was bright green, with some brown spots where rain had caused the dirt to turn into a dirty mess. The sky was bright blue, with little white clouds floating and forming pretty shapes. All in all, it was a beautiful day, but Link wasn't able to appreciate this beauty. Instead, he was busy worrying about Malon noticing anything she shouldn't while his body moved with hers and the horse's as they sped through the land.

"We'll stop here for a moment to give the horse a break and eat some lunch." Malon slowed the horse to a trot and then a stop on the side of a little dirt patch. The sun was far into the sky, and Link was extremely hungry... and sore. Very sore. Link looked around a minute and spotted a lone tree with a couple of bushes around it not to far away.
"I'll be right back, okay?"
"That's fine, just don't take too long, okay." Link nodded and went in the direction of the tree. Navi decided just then to make her beautiful, dramatic appearance, zooming out of Link's hat and twisting around him a couple times before resting right in front of his face.
"Who do you think you are? The Great Fairy?"
"I know your dirty little secret." Link looked at Navi suspiciously. Remember to always deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny, deny! Never give anything away, make them accuse you first!
"What are you talking about?" Navi floated around his head for a moment, casually. Link made it to the tree and quickly did his business as Navi whispered in his ear.
"I think you know what I mean. You know exactly what I mean. You are having dirty little thoughts about that ranch girl. I know you are. I heard you this morning while you were sleeping, whispering her name, breathing heavy." Link stared at the fairy for a long minute, just glaring at her.
"You were watching me in the shower weren't you!" The fairy zoomed around the tree and back to him and giggled. Actually giggled.
"Well, you know, Link, I just couldn't help myself. I mean, you're such a big, strong man." Her voice had a husky tone to it that Link did not like at all. He looked at her a little wide-eyed at first, then turned slightly and smiled.
"What on earth are you talking about, fairy? You can't handle this!" Navi hit him in the head... hard.
"Don't be ridiculous! I was only joking!"
"Ow... why'd you hit me so hard?" He looked up at the fairy, rubbing the little bump on his head.
"Anyway, you need to be careful. You've still got Zelda at home to think about. This is just to clear your head." Link looked at Navi harshly. "If you want to be with Malon so bad, you'll have to tell Zelda and Zelda's father that the marriage is off. You don't want to do that, now, do you?" No, Link didn't. Zelda would cry and he'd be the one guilty. He sighed.
"No, I don't."
"Good. Now, go back to Malon, and don't get too attached."
"You know, you're the one who encouraged me to do this!"
"I know, now shut up! You're not the only one who gets tired of everything being so bland." Link smiled and walked back to where Malon had made sandwiches and had poured some water into a couple of glasses from a canteen. She was so incredibly beautiful.
