Chapter 10: Dickmatized
Link returned to the desert with unbridled joy. As much as he loved spending time with Master Kohga, he couldn't go another day staying cooped up in the hideout. Jumping onto his shield Link surfed down the Kurasu valley. The dawn air sent refreshing ripples through link's tunic as he descended down the valley at an exhilarating speed.
Yesterday he spent an additional day by Kohga's side. He accompanied Kohga everywhere around the camp. He happily assisted where he could, and patiently watched when his service wasn't needed. He cooked for the two of them and afterwards they bathed together like the day before. Mirroring the previous day, Kohga worked at his desk for a while with Link plugged and kneeling underneath the desk as his devoted cocksleeve. Kohga had prepared a padded rug to keep his pet from straining his knees and they ended the day bringing each other to the edge of pleasure in bed.
Link had loved every moment of it but he was even more so excited to get started on the task Kohga had left for him. Link sprinted back to the Kara Kara Bazaar to stock up on provisions. He stopped by the inn which also served as a general store to sell some items. Mainly half of his share of mighty bananas. 'Sacrilegious' he could hear Endai say in his head. If the green haired Yiga had seen him he'd have fainted at how easily Link parted with the fruit. It fetched him a hefty sum of rupees so of course for Link, sanctity be damned!
As he walked out of the inn his eyes were immediately drawn to an oversized blue beetle shaped backpack.
"Beedle!" The boy hollered running towards his favorite merchant.
"Ohh! Thanks for coming to see me." Replied the lanky looking merchant.
Beedle was unlike anyone else Link had ever met outside of the hideout. With his bowl cut hair, his prominent nose, dark freckles and overzealous personality he was not easily forgotten and stood out easily in any crowd.
"Oh! You have a bladed rhino beetle!"
Oh, and how could he forget? The traveling shop keep had a keen eye for beetles. He could always tell when Link had found one and his eyes would sparkle with the innocence of a child.
"Would you consider giving it to me? Not for free of course, but how about a trade for a meat and rice bowl?"
"It's a deal." Link grinned.
It really didn't matter too much what Beedle offered him. He hated turning down Beedle on his offers. He looked like a sick puppy that got kicked down a flight of stairs when he did. And frankly Link didn't have the heart to see him like that again.
The young merchant jumped for joy, "Yahoo! Beedle is so excited!" He took the insect from Link's hands invading his personal space in the process, "You're such a sweetheart!"
Link blushed, Beedle was so cute when he got excited and he was more than flattered by his words.
"I'll add this bad boy to my beetle collection! Yaaaaaaaaay!"
Link chuckled. His cheerfulness was really quite infectious.
"Anyway, back to business…"
Link bought several of the summer wing butterflies and cold darners that Beedle had on hand. As well as some tireless frogs and a bundle of arrows just to be sure he wouldn't run out of anything while he was on his quest.
"Thank you for your constant patronage! Hope to see you again soon!" Beedle gestured his arms in polite gratitude.
Link nodded politely in return. Beedle's dedication to his customers was really why he was his favorite merchant in all of Hyrule. After that charming transaction he walked around the bazaar collecting some palm fruit from the trees scattered around the oasis. In the midst of his foraging, he bumped into a young man he didn't recognize as one of the local travelers that frequented the area.
"Sorry." Link bowed to the young man who didn't seem too frazzled by the interruption.
"Oh, it's alright. Hey,"
The young man had short black hair, rosy cheeks and a sheepish look about him.
"Um… You're a?"
"A merchant." Link replied.
"Oh. I see. So, you're just like us."
Link arched his eyebrow.
"But then, that must mean… Are you also stranded out here?"
Link crossed his arms, "Yeah, something like that."
"We wanted to make it to Gerudo Town but we were stopped before we could go in. And to think we came all this way out here."
"Same here."
The young man sighed, "I travel with a caravan and my leader went to Gerudo Town to negotiate but it's been a while. I guess he isn't having a ton of luck."
Link shrugged sympathetically. He'd seen it all too often. Worn out travelers migrating all across Hyrule in search of the incredible cosmopolitan out in the desert only for the men to find out that they are forbidden from entering. Many men had tried negotiating with the Gerudo for access to their town but none had ever succeeded.
"I hope he's ok."
Link's heart sank, "If you want. I could go check, see if he's ok."
"Really? Would you?"
"Sure. What's his name?"
"Benja! And I'm Robsten. What's yours?"
"Lee."
"Thank you, Lee! I really appreciate it."
"Don't mention it." The blonde grinned.
Link hurried across the dunes. Gerudo Town wasn't terribly far but for the many tourists the trek was a bit more of a risk than they could handle. As he ran towards his destination, he saw the real threat that kept other travelers from frequenting the shining city. Large brown clouds on the horizon and within them the lumbering giant of the desert: Vah Naboris. Link had only heard rumors of the supposed "Divine Beast". It was some kind of creature that roamed the desert aimlessly with no rest. It kicked up the sand creating wild sandstorms all around it and even those who dared to get close said it conjured lightning. Not exactly the kind of thing your average traveler wanted to risk encountering, but what they didn't know is that the creature didn't tend to come near the path to Gerudo Town; hence why Link had no problem making the trip for Robsten.
A while later Link arrived at the pale sand stone colored walls of the city. Though the walls showed a bit of age around their edges they stood proud against the desert dunes. The only thing Link could see of the inner city was a large rock formation that peaked high above the walls and had cascades coming down from it, like an enormous natural fountain. Other than that Link hadn't the faintest idea of what actually laid inside. Just to the side of the entrance Link saw a stocky Hylian with a purple tunic and a large brown pack.
"Benja?"
The caravan leader turned with a startled look on his face, "Y-yes!?"
"Robsten was worried about you. I told him I'd make sure you were ok."
"Oh Robsten. Sorry for the trouble there lad." Benja put his hand on his head with an awkward smile, "I heard there was a man who infiltrated Gerudo Town and apparently he travels frequently from the bazaar to here! So, I'm waiting for him."
Link squinted in disbelief. There were always all kinds of strange rumors about some guy supposedly finding a way into the forbidden city and all of them and been nothing but tall tales.
"I plan on asking him how he pulls off his amazing infiltration! My plan is flawless!"
"Riiiiiight, I'll just let your buddy know you're ok."
"Oh yes, please do let Robsten know I've got a lead well underway!"
"Err, well good luck with that." Link rolled his eyes.
While Benja stayed focused on his stakeout Link glanced over at the Shrine just a few feet away from them. He suddenly smacked himself on the head.
I could've teleported here! Stupid!
With a heavy sigh Link ran back to the bazaar again.
"Benja heard a rumor that a guy snuck in." Link heaved upon reuniting with Robsten.
"Whu! Truly?" The merchant said flabbergasted.
"Your boss said he comes here to the bazaar, and travels to Gerudo town often so he's waiting over there to meet him."
"I guess it must be true if the boss said so, but I've never seen anyone around here who strikes me as the super sneaky type." Robsten held his hand close deep in thought, "There was that pretty Hylian gal at the general store…"
Link tilted his head.
"Odd to see a Hylian girl dress like the Gerudo.. her clothes, maybe if I.."
Link eyes widened seeing Robsten's cheeks become even rosier if that were even possible.
"Ha-ha, nah! I'm so out of my element with all this sneaky stuff. Thanks for checking on Beja for me Lee."
"No problem." The boy shrugged.
Weird.
Link looked towards the inn of the bazaar. He figured the rumor was bogus but his curiosity wouldn't let him focus on anything else until he'd at least tried to ask. He followed his meddlesome gut to the general store where Shillu, the main attendant of the store sat.
Shillu had red hair, green lipstick and piercing eyes. A bit more imposing than the other Gerudo Link had met due to her biting personality. Any time someone interrupted her reading she treated them coldly with her one-of-a-kind standoffish sneers.
Today was going to be one of those days. Link stood at the front desk patiently waiting for Shillu to acknowledge him.
"Oh… Vasaaq."
"Seen a sneaky guy?"
"You mean a voe? Sneaking around town? I haven't seen anyone like that."
Course not, you're always reading your books.
Shillu raised an eyebrow, "Did you need anything?"
"No, that's it." The boy turned to leave.
"Ugh. Don't bother me then."
Link heaved with another heavy sigh. This rumor was turning out to be just like all the others. He glanced over at an open cooking pot nearby one of the vendors of the bazaar. He might as well do some cooking before setting off he thought to himself.
No sneaky guys, then why'd Robsten mention a girl? Was she acting sneaky?
Link glanced over at his oasis buddy Emri, a slender old Gerudo relaxing on her rug while she waited for potential customers.
"What is it? You got that look." The old woman croaked at Link.
"Seen anyone suspicious?"
"You do realize that from my perspective pretty much anyone that isn't Gerudo looks suspicious, understand?"
Link admired that blatantly sharp tongue of Emri's.
"Still… Yeah, I can think of someone. This one vai merchant in full Gerudo garb… I'm sure there must be more to her story but what do I know?"
"Hmm." Link scratched his head.
A girl merchant waring all Gerudo clothes. Link had certainly never met her but if Emri has seen this striking person, then at the very least, they had to be real. Perhaps he should try to locate her. If she's a merchant too then it would be worthwhile checking out what she has for sale.
Link continued his investigation around the open market. Maike hadn't seen anyone though she admitted since she most likely was just busy and hadn't noticed them. And according to Ripp, the Gerudo solider that kept watch over the bazaar claimed to have seen the mysterious Hylian vai but that her current whereabouts were unknown.
Perhaps she was already in Gerudo Town and wouldn't be back until later, that seemed the most logical conclusion. However, Link wasn't about to just wait around for a merchant to show up, he had other things to do after all. He booted up the slate and scanned the map. The Great Plateau Tower caught his eye. It had already been activated before he'd gotten the slate and now that he knew he could teleport there he was dying of curiosity to see what it was like up there. With the press of a button and the sudden gleam of blue light Link was gone and transported to the tower within seconds.
Moments later he felt raindrops on his head while his eyes were enraptured in the view before him. He was there at the top of the tower overlooking the landscape of the Great Plateau. Beyond the deciduous forest of the plateau, he saw the red cliffs of the Gerudo Highlands capped with snow. And towards his left…
Indescribable melancholy twisted Link's heart. He saw an old, time-worn building sitting on the highest hillside of the plateau. Why had it wracked his insides so, he had no clue but now there was no way he could think of going anywhere else.
Link sailed down on his paraglider towards the mysterious edifice. The plateau was incredible; from the moment his feet touched the ground everywhere he looked was lush and green. It was a whole other world! And it was quiet. So quiet.
As he jogged closer to the building, he came across the remnants of some other framework that stood there who knows how long ago. But even though the place seemed broken it was teeming with life. The would-be floors of the ruins were overrun by small white wild flowers. Their tiny petals dragged by the constant breeze seemed like they'd easily fall apart yet they clung on tightly, gracefully in their adversity. They were like little miracles amidst the rubble.
The closer he got to the building the more he noticed it's unique architecture. What was left of its tall towers shown many glass windows, a rare commodity for any structure these days. However even the shape of these windows was unusual, they were long and narrow and spear shaped towards the top yet curved; creating gentle arches that emphasized the height of the building. Drapes of moss and the mechanical corpses of dozens of guardians that surrounded the foundation gave the place a strong sense of elegance about it despite the cracks in the walls
The light drizzle turned into a steady rainfall while Link walked into the wreckage. At the end of the hollow stood the biggest goddess statue he'd ever seen. That's when it dawned on him, this was a temple. Ravaged by time and the elements, even only half of the roof remained.
Link approached the goddess statue. He noticed she was surrounded by six smaller ones that were the size of the ones he was accustomed to seeing. Why so many? Was this place special? Perhaps there was no way of knowing for sure.
At least she's not alone.
A single teardrop fell from Link's eye. He wiped the tear and shook his head. What was going on with him? He looked back up at the towering stone goddess then to the stone walls and lastly to the flowers and weeds blooming all around them. The feeling of melancholy shifted to somber gravity.
They're all gone.
Link wandered around the plateau, scavenging for food, hunting, searching for any other signs shrines. There wasn't much else besides some bokoblin camps, more shrines that were already activated and a place called the Shrine of Resurrection. A strange dwelling that Link couldn't make heads or tails of. It had the same Sheikah flair like the shrines but had no trial no wonderous apparatus of any kind. Just a few pedestals and something akin to an alien chandelier that hung over what looked like an empty flower bed to Link. Could the ancient tribe really have resurrected the dead? It seemed unlikely given how lacking this place seemed.
A day's worth of exploration and all he'd gather was that the place was strangely devoid of any civil life. Link was just about ready to leave plateau when he stumbled upon a rickety old cabin. Upon closer inspection it would seem the place had been long abandoned. Though to his delight he found a chest and within it he found himself a well-kept warm doublet. There had also been a diary left on an old wooden table. Link flipped to the last entry hoping to find a date.
Link…
His heart stopped.
Bit by bit, you may come to realize who I am. I am sorry for not revealing my true identity to you sooner. The truth is, after you awoke from your long Slumber of Restoration, I did not know how to tell you all there was to say.
Perhaps deceiving you was not the right thing to do. Still… you must admit I put on a great performance! But all joking aside...What I ask of you is of the utmost importance, dear hero.
Link stumbled backwards. What was the meaning of this? The diary had no date but whoever wrote it had to be referring to that hero. He turned away from the diary. It had to be a coincidence, right? There was no way, right?
He grabbed the diary and teleported towards home. The trip from the closest shrine to the hideout gave Link a chance to ground himself. Sort of. He marched over to Kohga's room right away but his master wasn't there. He couldn't stand this; his mind was running a million miles per second he had to find him and fast. He went to the upper level of the atrium where he was sure he'd find Endai who was usually the most informed person on Master Kohga's whereabouts.
"Master Kohga." Link was surprised to find the Yiga clan leader alongside Endai.
"Back so soon?" Kohga took Link's trembling hand.
"I found something. Something strange." Link handed the diary to Kohga.
Endai stood up from the table and tried to peek at the book while Kohga riffled through the pages.
"Why do I share a name with the Hero of Hyrule?"
Kohga chuckled nonchalantly, "Your parents had a sick sense of humor. Other than that, I couldn't tell you why exactly."
"For a short while the name Link became popular with the old generation. Your folks probably had some sort of inside joke about it." Endai offered.
Link paused. His seething panic was finally starting to ebb.
"Where'd you find this love?"
"In a cabin on the Great Plateau."
"The plateau? Nobody's lived there in forever." Endai remarked.
"The entries have no dates and for all we know they could just as likely be the mad ravings of some old coot from long ago." Kohga surmised.
"Did you find anything else?"
"Just an old doublet."
"If they lived alone, they definitely went crazy." Endai added as he took the diary from Kohga.
Link's eyes shifted like he was trying to work out the scenario in his mind.
"What's wrong?" Kohga gently squeezed Link's hand.
"N-nothing."
Kohga rolled his eyes. "Come now, I know you better than that."
"I… I don't know. I'm just… I want to feel like I know who I am! I'm sick of this."
"Link."
The boy turned to Kohga with eyes threatening to burst into tears.
"Sit down." Kohga sat on the floor and nudged Link to do the same. "Endai."
The Yiga nodded and sat down with them.
"Link," Kohga brushed the boy's bangs affectionately. "Knowing who you are doesn't come from the past. Every decision you make every day, how you decide to carry yourself that's who you are."
"You were so indecisive those first few days after you woke up. You remember what I told you?" Endai gestured.
"Do what comes naturally." Link reiterated.
"And take a chance on the rest. Every time you tried something you completed another piece of the puzzle." Endai assured.
"You already know who you are." Kohga encouraged.
Link looked back and forth between the two Yiga, "But I want to know who I was… without that there will always be something missing. I hate that feeling."
"Well to be frank you aren't that much different." Endai shifted backwards into a slouch. "Sure, as a kid you were a little more… wild but you know, you grew up just like the rest of us. Minus Ridah."
Link fidgeted his thumbs. "I thought there would be more."
"Probably."
"You're certainly not the most talkative, you have to admit." Kohga rubbed Link's back.
Endai shrugged. "You've always been like that. Like just now if we hadn't sat you down you wouldn't have told us what was bothering you. There's definitely plenty of stuff you never told Ridah and I when we were growing up."
Link clenched his fists. "But you, see? Why did I feel that way? How will I…"
"Why do you feel that way now?" Kohga asked. "You don't have to bottle everything up love."
Why?
"The past can't hurt you." Kohga said.
Link stared back at Kohga. He understood, he seemed to always understand how he felt even before Link did.
"I'm scared. What if there's something-"
"There isn't. It's gone. The past is just that."
"There's no point in getting suck there. You can't change it." Endai added.
Two tears rolled down Link's cheeks.
"Has anyone been angry with you because of something you did in the past?" Kohga asked.
"N-no."
"You know why?"
Link shook his head.
Endai sat back up. "It's not because you're a saint. Whatever happened, they made their peace with it Link. And you should too."
"You don't have to be afraid, love." Kohga placed his hand on the back of Link's neck.
The boy let himself be pulled into a hug.
"There, there my little cucco, you're alright."
"Ok!" Endai stood up. "Thanks for all your help, Master Kohga. Link, good talk. Now if you'll excuse me I'ma get outta here before the hugging gets more contagious."
Link let out a soft chuckle.
"Hey, let's go to my room, real quick." Kohga suggested.
Link sat on the bed while Kohga opened his trunk.
"Besides what we already went over how was your day?"
"Not bad. I did some hunting on the plateau and I'm looking into some rumors about some guy sneaking into Gerudo Town."
"Ah, so you've been working hard I see. Then you deserve a reward."
Link blushed at the sentiment.
"How would you like to try this on for a few hours?"
Kohga showed Link another one of his toys. Another plug fairly larger than the sapphire one and on its flare it had a brilliant ruby.
"Yes!" Link nodded eagerly.
"Yes what?"
"Yes sir." Link blushed.
"Turn around."
Link presented his ass like the obedient pet he was, with his head down on the mattress and his pants rolled down. He felt Kohga's lubed finger spread his rim with cream then prodded his insides. He lathered his fingers with more lube and gradually let his fingers slide into his greedy pet's hole.
"Aright, just like before. Relax while I ease it in, ok?"
"Yes sir."
Kohga pressed the bulb gently. It was warm! Very warm. The sapphire was like ice compared to this one, but even so it didn't hurt. Kohga took his time stretching him to take more. Reapplying more lube as needed. The base of the bulb was always the hardest part, Link could feel it stretch him to a new girth. It was just a few extra seconds of pain but then it sank in. Filling him up more and deeper than before. Link couldn't help but moan, his reward: that caress of submission that stroked his whole body.
"Are we feeling grateful?" Kohga pushed the flare nice and flush against Link's hole.
"Yes sir, thank you sir."
"Good boy. I have a little proposition for you."
Link turned to look back up at Master Kohga.
"Tano and Berith are sharing a scene tonight. I think it would be a nice opportunity if we went to go watch them."
"Scene? What are we gonna watch?"
"Well, they didn't say exactly but it could be something along these lines." Kohga opened up one of the scrolls he had in his trunk and handed it to Link.
"In our community we call it the Discipline of Pleasure."
Link marveled at the images painted on the scroll. Handsome men being chained and whipped by another. The writing on the side of the pictures narrated the story of the two men being bought and sold into a life of sexual slavery. The pictures though drawn by a skilled hand showed the men having sex in graphic detail, a sight that was shocking for the blonde to say the least. He'd only seen a scroll like this once before but it was of a naked woman, an image only meant to titillate whomever laid eyes on it. To see the act of sex itself permeated on to the paper felt rawer to him. As though he were gazing upon the erotic scroll was already an illicit act in of itself and yet Link couldn't help but be entranced by what he saw. They were arousing yes, but they were also beautiful in how carnal the feeling of desire was laid bare.
"Wait, so Tano and Berith are going to do this?"
"Possibly."
Link's face grew hotly flush.
"Without the sex. I don't think you're ready for that yet."
Yet?!
Kohga handed another one of his scrolls from his collection for Link to peruse. It showed a series of paintings of a young man being tied and suspended in the air like a captured rabbit. The lines of the art were much thinner and the colors of the paint were much softer than the first one. The man had a tranquil look on his face or perhaps that of someone about to pass out but Link felt like he could feel his euphoria just by looking at him.
"What do you think?"
Link placed the scrolls on the bed. He put a hand to his cheek. His body was noticeably hot though not enough to break into a sweat. Was it just the images or the ruby plug that was getting him so bothered? Probably both.
"So, the Discipline of Pleasure… that's what we do too, right?"
Kohga nodded, while taking a seat next to Link.
"Then Tano and Berith are like us?"
"Right again my keen little cucco." Kohga stroked Link's bangs.
"Then… isn't it kinda weird to watch them though?"
"That's all part of the fun."
"Umm…" Link kept his gaze lowered.
"It's perfectly natural for you to be nervous. Plus, we won't be the only ones watching, if that helps."
Link perked up. "Who else is going?"
"You'll have to come if you want to find out. Discretion is key for these events."
Link gnawed at his thumbnail.
"If it gets too intense for you, we can always leave early."
After a short pause Link began to nod vigorously.
"Is that a yes?" Kohga petted the boy's head.
"Yes." Link curled his fingers around Kohga's hand.
"Then let's get something to eat and then get ready, shall we?"
After they ate Link and Kohga freshened up for the evening, after they finished their business in the washroom, they headed back to Kohga's room. Kohga asked Link to dress in his dark grey leotard while he searched through his wardrobe.
"I really need to get you more clothes." Kohga grumbled.
Link gave himself a once-over. He felt exposed without the armor that usually went over his flexible suit.
"Here. At least with this you'll look more presentable."
Kohga handed the boy his red yukata. Link put on the fine garment but it was comically large for him. While Link adjusted the fine silk around his waist, folding it so it wouldn't drag or trip him and securing it with a wide sash, Kohga got himself dressed in an outfit Link had never seen him wear before.
He wore a black tunic with a wide placket that made some of his chest visible. On top he donned a brilliant white haori with unusually puffy sleeves that were gathered back into the top part of the forearm just below the elbows by black threads. The back of the loose draping fabric was decorated with black squares that looked like a shower of ebony diamonds. He looked like an emperor. Even his sandals were pristine!
"Why're we getting so dressed up?" Even while wearing Kohga's scarlet yukata he felt underdressed compared to his master."
Kohga inclined over Link to pull his braided necklace over his black leotard. "We like to have a high protocol for these things. It's kind of like a party so we ought to look our best."
Link followed Kohga to the deepest parts of the hideout: the dungeons. This area of the hideout was hardly used nowadays and so people didn't really go out of their way to keep it well lit. When they finally reached the end of a long corridor Kohga knocked once on the large wooden door then waited for a moment before knocking twice more. After a few moments the door was opened by Ridah of all people.
"Hey guys, come on in." She whispered.
Link was shocked, he had no idea Ridah was capable of speaking quietly. What's more she wore a sleeveless leather tunic that hugged the curves of her body. But the surprises just kept coming. As they walked in Link was awestruck by everything his eyes could take in. After they set aside their sandals by the entrance Link sat down with Kohga on a long black futon next to Ridah and her girlfriend Chiaki.
Link couldn't believe how much stuff there was in this room. The left side of the wall had a huge board that showcased so many different paddles, floggers, canes, chains, ropes, hooks, cuffs, harnesses and several other things he didn't even know the names of. They were tools of torture but they were unlike the ones Link had been trained to use. These were far more personable.
A large wooden x located at the back of the dungeon was easily the most eye-catching piece of furniture. Close by in the far-left corner there was a large wardrobe and across from it stood a wooden post grounded by a large base. Towards the middle of the room stood a curious wooden bench padded with leather on the top surfaces of the three beams. To the right rested a very large mirror parallel to the bench. And though the floor was covered in large rugs there lay several cushions near where he sat. As they waited a couple more people came in and made themselves comfortable on the cushions.
Link glanced over at Ridah who had her arm around Chiaki's shoulder. The silver haired girl was wearing a maroon corset with lacy underwear that matched her thigh high stockings. She held her red fox fur boa tightly while she side-eyed Link.
Link hardly saw Chiaki around camp. The few times he had seen her she was extremely tight lipped and her expression only seemed to shift between neutral and icy. He wondered how'd Ridah and the silverette even got together in the first place?
"Um.."
Link tried to find the words to break the tension but when she suddenly turned her head to address his feeble attempt at starting a conversation it only made it harder for Link to think of anything to say. She stared so intently she was like an owl with those full brown eyes of hers that barely even blinked. Link found himself holding his breath and unable to move like a petrified mouse.
"Hey Link. Wanna see the paddles up close?" Ridah interrupted.
"Sure!" Link ejected himself from the futon.
Link glanced back at Kohga who waved his hand for him to go on. He followed Ridah to the board while Chiaki left her boa on the futon and followed behind them.
"This one is my favorite." Ridah said grabbing a black crop that was hung on the board. "It has a nice snap to it and it leaves a lovely sting doesn't it pumpkin?"
Chiaki kept her gaze lowered but nodded.
"Ooh, how bout a little demonstration? Huh Link?" Ridah smiled devilishly. "Sit on the bench sweet pea."
Chiaki mounted the padded bench as though it were a small steed. It was then Link noticed she had a pair of leather cuffs attached together by a small chain. Judging by the ease of her movement she must've been well practiced in maneuvering in her restraints, and Link couldn't help admire Chiaki's poise.
"Ready babe?" Ridah said stroking her partner's thigh.
Chiaki took a deep breath then nodded. Ridah's caresses switched to light taps. She gradually increased the speed of her light slaps causing the girl's plump thigh to jiggle rhythmically. She stopped once the skin turned a light red and rubbed it again. Ridah's eyes were on Chiaki the whole time while the silverette stared stoically to the floor.
Then suddenly, thwap! Chiaki yelped loudly from the impact of the crop smacking her rosy thigh.
"How'd that feel sweet pea?" Ridah lent her hand to Chiaki while she dismounted the bench.
Link was taken aback by the girl's complete change in demeanor she was utterly red faced. She looked as though she wanted to shrink out of sight by the way she desperately clung to Ridah who was noticeably shorter than her.
"I liked it a lot, thank you miss."
"Here you try it." Ridah handed him the crop.
"Oh n-no I couldn't!"
"On yourself silly, you didn't think I'd let you whip my girl, did you?" Ridah teased while she wrapped her arm around Chiaki's waist and nuzzled her nose into her partner's cheek.
Link laughed nervously. He fidgeted with the crop tapping lightly on his hand then giving himself a firm smack.
"Ouch."
"Pretty good, right?" Ridah grinned.
Link focused on the sharp sensation as it seemed to fizzle around his skin. It was an interesting feeling to say the least.
"Having fun there?" Kohga approached them.
"Umm, just curious." Link murmured handing Master Kohga the crop.
Kohga tested the sturdiness of the tool with his hand.
"Just curious huh?" He firmly tapped Link's ass causing the boy to jump.
"Looks like he's into it." Ridah discerned from Link's flushed face.
The soft clamor at the entrance stopped for a moment as the long-awaited pair arrived.
"Oh, good they sorted that out pretty quick." Ridah said.
"Did their sitter cancel on them again?"
"Yup."
Kohga placed the crop back on the wall while Link, Ridah and Chiaki moved forward to take their seats back on the futon. Bireth and Tano hung their yukatas by the hangers near the entrance and again Link couldn't help staring at their outfits.
Bireth, who Link had always thought of the more reserved one of the pair wore maroon snake-skinned pants, accentuated by a leather jockstrap and paired with tan leather boots with sun-colored pull straps ornamented with ruby fragments. His upper body was on full display with an ostentatious gold chain and ruby pendant to adorn his broad chest. His arms and biceps sported decorative rope bands with a metal ring holding them together on each side. While his usually soft hazel eyes were turned into an intense gaze by the black soot that was smeared around them. And atop his strawberry blonde hair he wore a wine-colored dragon mask like a crown. To say he looked disarming was an understatement but compared to his partner one could almost say he looked modest.
Tano the hulking mass of a man towered over Bireth by at least an entire foot. His bulging muscles were contained by a thick leather harness that wrapped around the contours of his body. The blade master was practically naked with only a strap of leather and several metal rings surrounding his flaccid cock.
Link's eyes drooped, fixated on Tano's manhood while the others greeted the pair as they made their way in.
"Hey short stuff, glad to see you decided to join us tonight." Tano grinned tipping Link's chin upward toward him.
Link flushed profusely upon realizing he had zoned out. Kohga wrapped his arm around the boy's shoulders and gave him a gentle shake.
"He's a little overwhelmed as you can imagine."
"First timers always are." Bireth agreed giving Link a once-over.
"We'll be sure to give you a good show." Tano winked leaving Link too embarrassed to respond.
While the two men readied themselves at the center of the room Kohga leaned into Link's ear.
"Remember, we can always leave if it becomes too much."
Link nodded though he was unsure of himself.
"Thank you all for coming tonight to be here with us. How are we all doing?" Bireth smiled to the small crowd who replied with several "goods" and giggles of excitement.
"Tonight, we'll be mostly doing heavy impact play, along with some humiliation and degradation so if that's not your cup of tea feel free to take your leave. Otherwise sit back and enjoy."
Bireth turned to Tano. The room went silent as the two men stared at one another.
"Whenever you're ready." Bireth whispered.
Tano closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Link glanced at Master Kohga who simply grinned back at him. Soon enough any questions he had were about to be answered. The audience waited patiently while the two men braced themselves for the scene. Finally, after several minutes of silence Tano kneeled before Bireth and presented a black leather collar in the palms of his hands.
"I present to my lord this collar as a symbol of my love and submission. I hand over my power freely and willingly and promise to serve you to the best of my ability."
Bireth with calm and grace took the collar in his hands, "I accept this collar from my slave as a symbol of my love and dominance. I receive this power freely and willingly and promise to serve you to the best of my ability." He brought the collar around Tano's neck and fastened it securely to his partner.
Link could almost feel the warm touch of the leather as it was wrapped and fitted snuggly onto Tano. The boy reached for his own neck on instinct and felt the threaded necklace Kohga had gifted him.
"Face forward." Bireth commanded pointing towards the floor near the crowd.
With just those words the air in the whole room shifted. Bireth's face turned stern while Tano's went demure.
"Rule number three, what is it slave?"
"I am not allowed to touch myself without my lord's permission." Tano said with his head hung low.
"Then you know why we're here don't you?"
"Yes, my lord."
Bireth walked to the left side of the wall and grabbed one of the floggers, "I want to hear you say it."
"I broke that rule purposely and knowingly of the consequences."
Bireth snagged hold of Tano's dark curls and pulled his head back.
"Please forgive me my lord, I was weak!"
"I have no use for weak slaves. Tell me slut why should I even bother forgiving you?"
"I need you my lord, please forgive me!"
Link could hardly believe his eyes. Throughout his training Tano had been one of several of his teachers. Like Kohga his skill with the sword was to be respected and when he wasn't focused on a task, he had a carefree and laid-back attitude that made him easy to be around. It was jarring to say the least that the person he knew and the sniveling whimpering mess he saw before him were one and the same.
"What good is a slave if they continue to be disobedient?" Bireth lashed.
"Please sir, I beg of you. I'll take any punishment, any punishment imaginable, so please, please my lord, forgive me."
"Hmph. We'll see if you're worthy of my forgiveness after I thoroughly punish you. On the bench. Now!"
Tano promptly straddled the odd piece of furniture. He placed his hands and legs on the lower beams where Bireth secured his partner's cuffed wrists and ankles to the short chains attached to the beams. Afterwards Birth circled his slave once before then adjusting the mirror in front of Tano. He then grabbed Tano by his face squeezing his cheeks together tightly, "Repeat after me. I am a slave. I must obey."
"I am a slave. I must obey." Tano barely managed to get his words through his mouth.
Bireth released Tano from his hold and set his sights toward his slave's lower back, "Good. Continue."
"I am a slave. I must obey."
Bireth began teasing Tano's ass and thighs with the flogger. The light hiss of the tassels hitting Tano's skin grew louder as the dom gradually built momentum. He swung the flogger like a wind mill until Tano's dark skin began to turn into a slight pink.
He switched out the flogger for one of the wooden paddles on the board tapping his nails on the wood as he returned to Tano's side. He pulled the slave's head back up, forcing him to look into the mirror. Bireth lean down to whisper into Tano's ear. Whatever it was he said it caused a shiver to ripple down Tano's spine.
Then suddenly…
Smack!
Tano groaned loudly while still trying to repeat his mantra. Link felt his hole twitch as the sound rebounded in his ears. His insides stirred trying to suck in the plug deeper but to no avail; his face grew as flush as Tano's ass.
"Louder!" Bireth rumbled laying another heavy spank onto his slave.
"I am a s-slave. I must obey!"
"Better not lose count or we'll have to start again." Bireth taunted gleefully sending a volley of blows to the reddening flesh.
With every slap of the paddle Link felt his heart pound in his chest caught between excitement and fear of the beating Tano was receiving.
"How many?"
"T-ten."
Bireth struck Tano once more just as he gave his answer.
"Oh, don't you mean eleven? Well, that's unfortunate."
The onslaught of blows repeated. Tano's groans grew feral and desperate as the paddling increased in intensity. Link clutched the fabric of Kohga's robe while his breath grew short. He felt frozen stuck watching in awe and fear.
Without a word Kohga curled his hand around the boy's neck and massaged his nape. Link was startled by Kohga's unexpected warm touch but soon enough he relaxed. The blonde gradually went limp and leaned against his master. The intensity of the moment passing and his breathing steadily slowed down again.
Bireth whispered to Tano once more, this time the larger man responded with a slow nod. Bireth took a moment to run his hand along Tano's back before returning the paddle to the wall. He returned with a black glove etched with several markings. The most prominent of which read "lightning".
Bireth snapped his gloved hand and a spark of electricity flared out of his fingertips.
"You really dug yourself a grave this time my dear slave. Forgiveness won't be as easily given as last time."
Bireth hovered his hand over Tano's thigh.
Tano shook his head, "It doesn't matter… I'll endure it. I'll endure anything for you, my lord."
Bireth slapped the tender flesh harshly earning him a throaty yell. He beat Tano with his electrified glove again and again until the man was shaking uncontrollably. A sheen of sweat glistened in the warm light of the room.
"Good slave, maybe there's still hope for you." Bireth squeezed Tano's plump ass then glided his fingers to his slave's pert asshole and pressed them forward.
Tano jolted, whining from stimulation he was forced to take. Link could only imagine. It must be amazing, the thought sending shivers down his spine.
Bireth smiled, satisfied with his slave's torment. He removed his hand from the quivering hole. His eyes focused on Tano, scanning his body watching intently to his every reaction. He flexed his gloved hand into a fist than passed the other above it as though he were wiping away its shocking effects. He then began detaching the chains from Tano's cuffs.
"Had enough yet slut?"
"Yes... my lord."
"Hmph. Too bad, I'm not done with you yet."
Bireth pulled Tano off the bench by his collar and dragged him to the front of the room. He kicked his slave's calves forcing the man to kneel. Tano's face was heavily flushed, his eyes dazed and his mouth hung slightly ajar as he panted.
"Does this look like a slave who's earned forgiveness?"
Form the corner of Link's eyes he could see the audience shaking their heads in disapproval.
"See, even they think you're nothing but a worthless slut."
Bireth snapped his gloved fingers once more, "Now, beg."
Tano's body shuddered as Bireth teased his left nipple. He stuttered through his desperate plea. But even still his face was warpped with bliss. His cock had become as erect as it possibly could in its bondage.
His cock… Link's eyes glazed over. He felt the heat from his hole spread rapidly through him. Tano's cock was leaking, begging for sweet release. It was so red and engorged it was practically begging to be sucked off. He might've inadvertently leaned forward had Kohga's firm hand not been there to hold him in place. Still, it didn't keep him from salivating at the sight of it.
Tano continued to groan and writhe under Bireth's electrifying torture. And Link's eyes continued to be helplessly captivated by his succulent cock. He could hear how every spank made Tano moan. He could see how his lower body shook and leaned back into the body behind him as he twisted in pain and pleasure. He only saw Bireth's gloved hand again when he brought it down to fondle Tano's sensitive balls. Link gasped just as Tano did as though he himself were the one receiving the sensual touch. His reaction didn't go unnoticed by Kohga who began drilling little spirals into the back of the boy's scalp.
Link hardly noticed Kohga's fingers. His mind was preoccupied with how his body was reacting to the scene. He had to cover his mouth stifling his own moan as he became hard just from watching Tano squirm. His mind began to fade. Tano was pulled to lay on the floor with his thighs spread wide open for all to see. And it was all Link could really see. Bireth became more of blur as Link's vision tunneled onto Tano's leaking cock.
The crack of a whip was dulled in Link's ears. Skin shuddered. Sweat bounced to the floor. At some point Link wasn't sure if he had whined but he must've done something that prompted Kohga to whisper in his ear.
"Shhh, You're alright. Stay calm. That's it, you are calm."
The boy relaxed under his master's guidance.
"Good pet. Stay relaxed. Stay calm."
By the time the scene had come to an end Link felt like he was smothered in heat and arousal but on the surface his face was calm and serene. Eyes vacant and his body completely slack. Kohga had to carry him out of the room, the trip back to their quarters almost didn't even register in the blonde's consciousness.
When Kohga sat him down on their bed he seemed confused but he wasn't sure why. He stared blankly at the white sheets while Kohga undressed him.
"How're you feeling?"
Link blink slowly as he looked up towards his master. Kohga waited for Link to respond but the boy just kept staring at him. Kohga cradled Link's cheek with his hand and the boy's eyes closed almost immediately. The weight of his head plummeting into Kohga's hand.
"You're more sensitive than I thought. Can you hear me love?"
He waited for Link to answer. With a word or a nod or even a sigh but nothing. He gave Link a kiss on his forehead and gently pushed him to lay down on the bed. The boy's cock was still stiff. He stared for a moment ruminating. After a while he disrobed himself and joined Link on the bed. He pulled the boy close to him caressing his face. Link's eyes were still open but just barely.
"You've done well boy."
Link's eyelids shut like heavy doors.
"Good boy. You're so good. You did so well today."
His fingers twitched.
"But you're quite tired, aren't you? Overwhelmed one might even say."
Link's breathing slowed, deep and lethargic.
"But I'm proud. You were so obedient even when you were lusting so hard weren't you? And yet…" Kohga ran his hands through Link's hair. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"That's alright though. Let's make the most of this." He curled his fingers into the boy's blonde locks, "My good boy. You are mine. And because you are mine you obey, so deeply so perfectly to my commands. Now and always."
Link lay perfectly still with only his cock faintly twitching at the use of his triggers.
"You obey me and I control you, that is the absolute truth. So, when I put my hands on your cock and I say the word 'soft' your cock becomes just that."
Kohga placed his other hand on Link's hard shaft, "Soft."
The boy winced.
"Soft." Kohga gently taped the member with his fingertips.
Link's cock began to lose its stiffness ever so slightly.
"Soft. Your body getting better and better at taking the command every time. Soft. Soft. Soft."
Link let out a weak grunt and soon enough his cock was only half hard.
"Good pet. That's it. A good pet only cums when their master gives them permission after all. But even when you can't cum you are more than happy to obey."
He petted Link lovingly.
"That's what's more important anyway. Being obedient and being completely under my control. That's right. You're just as content to obey and become soft. Soft. Soft. Soft."
Finally, the boy's cock was flaccid. Limp and loose like the rest of his body.
"Link, you have left the dark room."
His eyelids opened just slightly.
"Go to sleep love. You've had a long day."
Link blinked. Kohga's voice almost didn't register. Still, he closed his eyes. He was warm and he continued to sink into that warmth. Kohga's warmth. Nothing else mattered.
Link returned to the hideout carrying a handful of luminous stones. He walked through the camp grounds until he was spotted by Tano and Bireth.
"Hey cute thing, fancy seeing you around these parts." Tano said with a wide grin.
He stopped right in front of Link blocking his path.
"Oh, hey guys."
"That was pretty impressive the way you handled yourself last night." Bireth commended sauntering behind Link.
"W-what do you mean?" Link asked. The way both men were surrounded him suddenly made him feel very claustrophobic.
"Let's not be coy Link," Tano said taking the bowl of fruit from Link's hands.
"We know." Bireth caressed Link's arms.
"How much you want us." Tano placed his hands on Link's hips.
"W-wait." The boy blushed, "N-not here!"
"Shhh. It's ok Link." Bireth grabbed Link's legs and lifted him into the air. "It's ok to enjoy being watched."
"I don't though." He weakly attempted to push the two Yiga away.
"Heh, he's so cute. Look he's already hard." Tano stroked him through the flexible fabric of his suit.
"Tano. Bireth, please stahhh."
Tano's hands felt so good on him, he couldn't deny it.
"What do you think Kohga, should we stop?"
"Master?!"
Kohga stood just a few paces away from them. His expression was unreadable. Link was worried but he couldn't stop moaning from the other two's constant teasing.
"Master, please I c-can explain!"
Link failed to keep his cool in front of Kohga, he was already near orgasm. He closed his eyes for just a moment as the arousal swelled in him and when he opened them again Kohga was just inches away from his face.
"Master?"
Half of Kohga's face was a distorted shadow while his other half was moving his lips as though he were speaking but without any sound coming out. Then for a moment Link was distracted by something in the distance. A pale white flower with brilliant blue streaks stemming from its center.
Link's eyes took a moment to adjust to the light of the room as he began to open them. Before he could ponder on what just happened a spike of arousal flashed through his body. His throaty gasp prompted Kohga to look up.
"Finally awake?" He said just before he resumed pleasuring Link's shaft.
Kohga worked his tongue all over Link, making the boy squirm and moan deliciously.
"Master please." Link clutched his pillow tightly, "please let me cum."
Link felt Kohga's chuckle thrum lightly on him. Kohga had no intention of stopping soon. He kept sucking him pushing Link further to the edge. All he could do was moan helplessly and let the pleasure burn him up from the inside.
After what felt like an eternity contained in mere minutes Kohga came back up and kissed Link on his lips.
"Who do you belong to?" Kohga gently squeezed the boy's cock and teased the tip with his thumb.
"You! Always you."
The way Link's face became strained by pleasure was always so beautiful.
"Cum for me, love."
Soft cries accompanied the boy's shudders. After the initial wave of ecstasy passed, he snuggled into Kohga's warm embrace again.
"Going back to sleep?" Kohga smirked wiping his hand on the sheets.
"No… just enjoying this." Link sighed happily.
Kohga brushed Link's bangs while the boy basked in his afterglow. His face had a soft peach flush and his skin was just as smooth. A little while later Link opened his eyes again. He sat up with a worried look towards Kohga.
"What's wrong?" Kohga asked.
"What about you?"
"Me?"
Link nudged Kohga to lay on his back and crawled over to his stiff phallus. Without any delay Link reciprocated the pleasure Kohga had given him two-fold.
"Ah, good boy." Kohga groaned.
Link adored the praise even if it reminded his spent cock, he had nothing left to give. He poured his heart into his motions. He loved giving his master pleasure. It melted his mind just as much as when Kohga gave it to him. The sound of Kohga's moans and the occasional bucking of his hips was more than enough praise. Nothing else mattered when he was like this, and Link felt so happy to be free of any and all burdens that would otherwise invade his mind.
Link was suddenly hit with a profound wave of bliss as Kohga came. He looked up dazed at his master who caressed his face.
"I love you so much." Kohga said cleaning the boy's lower lip.
Master…
Link couldn't form his words while his mind was like an energetic whirlpool of euphoria. He wanted to tell Kohga how much he loved him but alas all he could do was accept Kohga's arms around him. He rested his head on his master's chest while the waves of pleasure rebounded throughout his body. Everything was right. Everything was warm and perfect and he felt so…? There was a word for it surely, if only he could remember it.
After Link recovered from his second high, he and Kohga ate breakfast in the dining hall with Endai and a couple of Yiga. Link was a bit more quiet than usual wich went unnoticed by the other Yiga, since he usually wasn't much for conversation in the first place. He kept thinking back to last night at the dungeon. The visceral experience was still so raw in his mind.
"Maybe you should stay here today." Kohga said as they returned to their room.
"Hmm, why?"
"You've been spacing out a lot. I'm worried you'll get subdrop because of yesterday."
"But we didn't do anything yesterday."
"That may be, but you still went into subspace during the scene. Don't you remember?"
Come to think of its Link couldn't recall how the scene ended of how they got back to their rooms last night.
"I went into subspace?"
"You were showing signs of it like when you're in ropespace."
Link tried to remember how he felt last night. At first, he was anxious about everything that was happening but at the same time it was exciting. Then all too quickly that excitement turned into a hot flood of arousal and …
"Weightless." Link said to himself.
"Hmm?" Kohga tilted his head.
"That's how it, I mean I. That's how I felt last night. I think."
"Is that also how you felt this morning with me?"
Link's pupils dilated, "Yeah! Was that?"
"I believe so. You get the sweetest look on your face when you go under." Kohga held Link's face in his hands.
"Wait so if that's it why do I have to stay in? Its not the same as when I'm in uh, ropespace?"
"Perhaps it doesn't feel the same but you can still have the same side effect."
"But I don't want to waste a whole day. I feel fine, I swear!"
"Hmm," Link's puppy blue eyes had a certain sway on Kohga, "Then I guess it can't be helped. I'll just have to go with you today."
"Really?!"
"Did I stutter?" He joked.
Link hugged Kohga tightly, "Let's go right away! Thank you, thank you master!"
"Alright my little cucco." Kohga kissed Link's head. "We'll be dressing in our civilian clothes?"
"Uh-huh!"
Link and Kohga ventured east towards Central Hyrule. Near the Outskirt Stable, they found a shrine and then another further out in the fields past Gleeok Bridge. After completing the second trial, Link wanted to venture out to the tower they spotted in the distance. However, at Kohga's insistence they ended their excursion due to the many guardians that surrounded the tower. The last thing the Yiga wanted was for Link to exhaust himself and put himself in danger.
"Do you think we could spend the night at the stable instead of going all the way back home?"
Kohga crossed his arms. "It has been an eventful day," he shrugged. "Alright, but only because I don't want you to overwork yourself."
"I'll make our reservations!" Link ran ahead excitedly.
Night had settled in by the time Link arrived at the stable's front. The crisp rustling of leaves and the gentle twinkle of the fireflies all signaled the day had come to an end.
"One bed please." Link said to the proprietor of the stable, a middle-aged man with a long nose and a cleanly shaven beard.
"Is this your first time staying with us sir?" The Hylian man asked pleasantly while opening up his ledger.
Link nodded.
"Embry at your service, my young man."
"Thanks, I'm Lee."
"Wonderful to have you Mr. Lee. That'll be twenty rupees."
"Here you go." Link handed Embry the emerald green crystals.
"Thank you very much and have a pleasant night." The stable hand said with a smile.
Link walked to his stable and got the bed ready. He noticed how few people there were. He saw young mother with her child and another, a young traveler. Unlike the Gerudo Canyon Stable, there were beds to spare. The quiet calm of the stable was a nice change of pace.
Link sat on the bed and scrolled through the slate, looking at his ingredients. Kohga flopped onto the bed behind him while he pondered on what to cook for dinner.
"Why don't we order some food tonight?"
"But I wanna make you something special."
"You sure you're not tired?" Kohga leaned over, caressing Link's face.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry." Link said, as he kissed Kohga.
"How do you have so much energy?"
Kohga gave Link's hip a teasing squeeze.
"Well, that goddess statue did give me a boost to my stamina." The blonde laughed.
Link was caught off guard when he realized Embry was standing near the foot of the bed. A handful of rupees and disconcerting look in his green eyes.
"Mr. Lee I'm going to have to ask you and your… to leave." He held out the currency to Link, "Immediately."
"Whu-why?"
"Is there a problem?" Kohga stood up defensively.
The stable owner fidgeted with his green sweater tied around his shoulders.
"Now, see here. I run a respectable business and will not have it sullied by the likes of your kind."
"Respectable, huh?" Kohga scoffed, "Why don't you tell us what you really think?"
Link sat frozen on the bed. He couldn't believe the words that were coming out of the owner's mouth.
"Just take the rupees and go."
Embry attempted to push Kohga aside.
"Lay your hands off me before you lose them, old man!" Kohga snarled.
"Oh, of course! I should've known you'd be thugs too." Embry sneered.
"Hey!" a familiar voice cracked, "There's no need for that! I'm sure we could all work this out peacefully if we all just calm down."
Beedle!
Link stared helplessly as his friend tried to come between Embry and Kohga.
"Embry, hear me out. I know Lee personally. He's a very good customer of mine. A fine trades man in his own right. I'm sure he means no harm."
"If he meant no harm, he would've thought twice before flaunting his lifestyle in here."
"Do you even hear yourself? Get out of your ass, it was just a kiss we're not hurting anyone."
"Have you no shame!? This isn't a brothel! For Hylia's sake, there are children in here!"
Link turned to the other patrons of the stable. The woman had her arms around her son as though to protect him from the heated argument while the other traveler looked at them with bitter disdain.
Beedle tried to plead to both sides. "Please let's not-"
"You either get out of here right now or I'm getting my pitchfork!"
Link flinched at the harsh clatter of the rupees being thrown to the ground. The Hylian furiously stormed out of the stable to retrieve his weapon.
"Oh, would you like our heads on a pike?" Kohga goaded, "I could have you skin-"
Kohga stopped when he felt Link's feeble tugging at his coat.
"Let's just..."
Link couldn't even bring his gaze towards Kohga. His master let out a heavy and disgruntled sigh but did as the boy implied and helped him walk out of the stable.
"Lee." Beedle said solemnly.
"It's ok…thanks anyway Beedle."
The debarred pair cleared out a camp of bokoblins near Gleeok Bridge. They were fortunate enough the monsters had their own cooking pot, so they made themselves some dinner and took shelter under a worn tarp. Still, the ground was littered with bones and rotting food. The lingering smell of the monster's natural scent was enough for Link to curl his nose.
"I had heard…"
Link sat holding his legs to his chest while Kohga tended the campfire.
"Tano, Bireth, Ridah… they told me all kinds of stuff about Hylians, but I never thought something like that would actually happen."
Kohga took a seat next to Link. He patted the boy's back and gave him a quick kiss on his forehead.
"I wish I could've prevented you from going through that."
"It's ok."
"It's not." Kohga said bitterly, "None of us should have to go through that. Hylians are stupid and ill-bred."
"But why? What did we do wrong?"
"Nothing. You didn't do anything wrong."
Link wanted to cry, but no tears came through. He replayed the events over and over again in his head. The looks of the other patrons. He recognized those looks. They were the same as the ones he'd gotten back at Gerudo Canyon the morning after he and Kohga had spent the night together.
"How come no one ever acted this way towards us before? Like back at the other stable."
"They can't afford to be choosy about what customers they tend to. Even with Gerudo town being a popular destination, people don't make the trip for one reason or another."
"Because they need the money?"
"More than that. They need their resources. If they ever get hit with a dry streak, it could end them."
"So, we're just a means to an end."
"Basically. Endai used to tell me about the kinds of things they'd say behind other's backs. Disgusting."
"So that's why he and Ridah hate Hylians so much?"
"Everyone has their different take on the situation but I'm sure that plays a part. Take Ridah for instance. She didn't care much for Hylians either and yet she still fell in love with one."
"Chiaki's Hylian?"
"Mmhmm."
"Wait, weren't my parents also Hylian? Do you know how they met each other?"
"I wasn't in on the details, but I think like most of our clanmates, they met during a recon mission of sorts."
"Did my father…"
"Hmm?"
"Did he know I was…"
"He did. And he loved you just the same. He had quite a lot of unlearning to do from his own culture, but he adjusted just fine."
"My mom was Hylian too, right?"
"Half."
"Her parents were like mine, then?"
"Mmhmm."
"I can't imagine what that must've been like."
"You could ask Chiaki if you want to know more."
"You think she'd be, err, okay with that?"
"Are you scared, my little cucco?" Kohga tickled Link's neck.
Link wriggled, bashfully batting Kohga's hand away. "I'm not. I just think she doesn't like me."
"Did she tell you that?"
"No."
"Then it sounds like you're just imagining that, no?"
"I guess so."
"You should talk to her. She doesn't bite I promise."
"Ok."
It took a while but eventually the two managed to fall asleep. Link however was restless in his sleep, tossing and mumbling and the first signs of rain woke him up before dawn. Eager to leave the dingy monster camp Link got up washed his face in the river and made himself a light breakfast. Master Kohga was up not long after and joined him around the cooking pot.
"You have to head home, right?" Link asked.
"And you still want to head for the tower."
Link nodded.
"Alright," Kohga stood up and gave Link a kiss on his forehead, "Be careful."
"I will."
"Don't be home too late."
"I won't."
The two parted ways and Link ran off to conquer the Sheikah tower. The tower was surrounded by two large guardians. Luckily for Link both were half buried in the rubble that encompassed the tower's floor. Link had to stay light on his feet as he climbed his way up. He timed his leaps carefully in order to dodge the powerful lasers that the mechanical fiends fired towards him. Once at the top he attained the map of the area. Though the real payoff was having the ability to warp to the tower. Link took in the view; after putting his life at risk he might as well enjoy the scenery it offered.
The expanse of grassland covered most of what lay beyond the tower. He was also much closer to many of the land marks he'd seen from the other tower. Death mountain's volcanic peak with its dark billowing smoke stood like an indominable giant on the east of the horizon. While Hyrule castle's dark aura smoldered straight ahead of him. Further down the small shine of orange caught Link's eye.
Another shrine!
Link sailed down towards his new destination. His robotic enemies relentlessly took aim but his linen wings kept him well out of reach. When he touched ground, he raced around the slopes of the grassy hills mindful to stay out of sight from any other guardians roaming the plains.
It began to rain as Link came upon a slope of land that the map identified as Mount Gustaf. From his vantage point he saw he was nearing the threshold of the castle's shadowy purple gloom. The land became rockier and there was noticeably no vegetation in several pockets of land. Dark spikes jutted out of the ground as well as several pools of malice covered the area. But where had the shrine gone?
It must've gotten obscured by the mist and rugged terrain. He'd have to take a look around, the only problem being there were even more of those six-legged bastards stalking the area. And what's more there were even a couple of airborne guardians scanning the expanse like vultures from above. But if there was a chance of finding a shrine Link had to risk it.
Link watched the machines for a while. After studying their movement, he waited for the moment when they were all the furthest away from each other. He could outrun one of them but having all three of them on his tail at once would mean certain death. Tactfully Link glided down towards a particularly craggy set of boulders. Briskly making his way around them he found the shrine in the divot of the rocks. With another orb obtained and eager to leave the machine's turf Link teleported to the plateau to make a trade with the goddess statue.
Before heading home Link took some time to hunt and forage in the forest nearby. He ended up on the far west part of the plateau by the time he'd finished. From the plateau's heights he saw the road that would take him back towards Gerudo Canyon. And just below its bridge of all things there was another shrine just peacefully hanging out. It wasn't even a question of how at this point, Link jumped off the cliff and glided straight for the shrine. With another orb obtained Link was so close to getting another blessing from the statue goddess, alas the sun had begun its descent and he didn't want to keep Kohga waiting.
Before going home however Link made a stop to the bazaar to sell and restock. While he took the time to prepare himself a few more elixirs he was called by a familiar voice.
"Hey!"
Link looked up from the cooking pot and saw Jinsai in his traveler's disguise.
"Jin! You heading home?"
"Just about. What have you been up to?"
"Oh, you know. Here, and there looking for shrines."
"It's going well I hope?"
"Yeah, it's been a pretty productive day."
"That's good..." The freckled faced Yiga swayed awkwardly, "So uh have any special recipes you could share with me. I've been wanting to surprise Kohma with something like that."
"Oh, that's sweet. Well, umm have you ever made her mighty fruitcake? All you need it's some wheat, bananas, some wild berries, sugar and butter."
"Hey, yeah, she'd love that! Thanks."
"Sure, no problem." Link's smile faltered.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just I've been wanting to make something special for Master Kohga too but I haven't gotten the chance to."
"But you're cooking right now?"
"I mean when we're out…" Link glanced around the bazaar cautiously, "Together." The boy whispered.
"Why are you whispering?" Jinsai's brow arched.
"Master Kohga and I got kicked out of the Outskirt stable… because we kissed."
"Oh Link," Jinsai covered his mouth aghast. "That's awful! I'm so sorry."
"Its fine. Anyway, let's go home."
The long shadows of the Gerudo canyon provided ample cover for the pair as they traveled back to the hideout. Link recounted the events at the stable to his worry-stricken friend.
"All that just because of a kiss?"
"Yeah… pretty stupid right?"
"Completely." Jinsai frowned. "It's just down right unfair! Kohma and I did plenty of dumb stuff when we were young."
"You still are young." Link grinned, appreciative of Jin's empathy.
"Well, younger. I mean for Ganon's sake! We were two teenagers doing more than just kissing behind the stables and the most we ever got was a light reprimanding word. But to be kicked out and even threatened?! That's just…"
Link smiled glumly.
"Yeah, I know… I mean it's not like when Piaffe told me to uhh…" Link caught himself, "Nevermind."
"Huh? Told you what?"
"Nothing. Forget it."
Jinsai's brows arched curiously, "Oh no, now you gotta tell me! What was it sloppy make-out sessions? Frisky grabbing?"
"N-no. This was before we got together." Link stared at the sandy path before him.
"Before?"
"Yeah. It wasn't even sex but um I was still loud so Piaffe just asked me to keep it down."
"Excuse me?!"
"It was nothing." Link flushed.
"Really sounds like the opposite of nothing."
Link stayed silent.
Jinsai sidestepped in front of Link, forcing the blonde to face him, "Honestly Link what happened? I won't tell anyone, I promise."
"It's… embarrassing."
"How so?"
"I uh… I came in the stable."
"You… came in the stable?"
Link pursed his lips at how confused his comrade was looking at him.
"But you didn't have sex?"
"It was just me… Master Kohga didn't do anything. It was my fault."
"What you mean he didn't do anything? Were you jerking yourself off?"
"No. I... I was… hypnotized."
Jinsai looked mortified, "Why were you hypnotized?"
"Because I wanted to be."
"And that's why you came?"
"Y-yeah."
"Really?"
Link nodded.
"Master Kohga didn't touch you at all?"
"Well, he was holding me but no he didn't."
"Holding you how?"
"Like…" Link shook his head, "I said forget it!"
Link moved around the Yiga and started jogging through the sand. Jinsai immediately pursued.
"Why are you running?"
Link broke into a sprint. But it was no use, Jinsai was faster than him and quickly blocked his path once again.
"If Kohga isn't at fault then why are you running?"
Link stood his ground trying to figure out the reasoning behind Master Kohga's faultlessness.
Jinsai spoke as gently as he could, "If Master Kohga hypnotized you then that means you were vulnerable to suggestions. What exactly did he say to you?"
Link's hands had balled into fists unconsciously, "He… just asked me what I wanted."
"Ok. And did he ask you what you wanted before he hypnotized you? Because if he didn't then how would you have been able to say no to something you didn't want? I know how suggestible a person can be under trance, Link."
Link finally looked at Jinsai in the eye, recalling how his comrade had told him about Kohga using hypnosis to help him manage his anxiety.
"Did he ask you beforehand?" Jinsai repeated, his muscles were so tense he could barely move.
Link's reply was so small Jinsai almost didn't hear it, "No."
Jinsai's heart dropped.
"But I… I liked it. And I…"
"It's not that…" Jinsai bit his lip. "I'm telling you this because I care about you and I just want what's best for you."
Jinsai held Link's arms.
"Kohga needs to ask for your permission before he hypnotizes you. That's how you establish trust. And he needs to honor that trust otherwise he's…" Jinsai was loathe to admit it but he had to say it for Link's sake. "Otherwise, he's overstepping."
Link lowered his head, "Thanks Jin but you're worrying too much. It wasn't like that… really."
Link showed the Yiga a small smile. Jinsai seemed pained to do the same.
"Ok, but just promise me you'll talk to him about it."
Link nodded.
"Ok then." Jinsai patted link on his back.
There wasn't much else he could do or say. He could only hope that Link took his words to heart. Their trek home was mostly quiet after that. No more than a few lapses of small talk here and there and before they knew it they were back at the hideout.
His mind went back to that night. Back at the stable. In the bed, so close to Master Kohga he could feel his breath on him. And he had asked him to do it. To hypnotize him but…
I-I did but I didn't want-
You did want it… You're the one lying to yourself.
Link gritted his teeth. Was he crazy? Kohga was right, wasn't he? He had been denying his desire to be with his master but Jinsai wasn't wrong either. Kohga had never asked him for permission, not even when he was helping him with his nightmares because there had never been any need to. Because he… trusted him.
Link headed straight for Kohga's room. He wasn't hungry, he wasn't tired. He needed to talk to him. Upon entering their room where Link expected to find Kohga instead he was greeted by the sight of his desk looking more tidy than usual. Then he noticed the bed sheets had been changed as well and the floor looked swept too.
Kohma must've stopped by to clean.
"You're back."
Link's head turned so fast he nearly snapped his neck. He'd swear he'd never get used to Kohga's silent footsteps. And there he was shirtless and sweating from head to toe.
"What's wrong?" Kohga said noting Link's slight frown.
Link's words got caught in his throat as Kohga approached him.
"Hmm? Cat got your tongue little cucco?" Kohga curled his hand around Link's cheek tilting the boy's head upwards.
"Uhh…"
Kohga's musk sent him spinning for a moment.
"I-I… No, I mean you. I'm… I'm angry with you." Link said trying to regain his focus.
"Oh? Why's that?"
"Because… I trust you so you, you need to…" Link swatted Kohga's hand away. "I never agreed to…"
Link stopped himself, his head was reeling with the memories of the stable.
"If there was something I didn't want but didn't know that I didn't want it while I was hypnotized, how would I know that you would know that I…"
"Are you feeling ill? You're not making any sense, love." Kohga placed the back of his hand on Link's forehead.
"You wouldn't do anything to me if I didn't want it, right?"
"You doubt me?"
"I… don't know."
"You don't know if you trust me?" Kohga's brows turned stern.
"N-no. I mean that's not what I mean. Back at the stable when you hypnotized me. In front of everyone!" Link's voice cracked.
"This again? What is it you don't understand?" Kohga rolled his eyes at him.
"Why didn't you ask me for permission?" Link blurted flippantly.
"Oh? I need to ask you for permission? I specifically asked you what you wanted from me it's not my fault you couldn't even give more than vague answers! You're doing it right now even. What do you even want? You don't even know do you? You're angry at me? For what? For something you can't even remember correctly?"
"I-I…"
"How could you doubt me? After everything I've done for you, was it all nothing to you?"
"N-no. It's just-" Link grabbed fist-fulls of his hair.
"I've given you everything. And it's still not good enough for you? What do I have to do? Tell me!"
"N-nothing. I'm sorry!"
"Then why start this again?"
Link ran his fingers through his hair and clasped his hands close to his chest.
"Because… Jinsai told me that to have trust there needs to be… you need to tell me before hand."
"Oh, for Ganon's sake Link. Who do you think taught him that?"
"Umm."
"It doesn't take a genius. I did! You really are feather brained." He said pinching Link's cheek.
"Then why?"
"Because he literally loses his mind over everything Link, why do you think I have to help him in the first place? He was so in shocked of what you did in the stable it must've freaked him out."
"I-I don't… he was just worried for me." Link wiped the bit of moisture that was trying to escape from his eye.
"How many times have I told you? I know what's best for you." Kohga guided Link to the edge of the bed where he sat down. "I've tried asking you, have I not?"
Link nodded while Kohga stroked his sideburns.
"But lucky for you I know you better than you know yourself. You don't have to worry about those things. I wouldn't ever force you to do something you didn't want to. You know that don't you?"
Link gave a slow single nod.
"You want me to prove it to you?"
"Huh? How?"
Kohga smirked as he began to unfurled his pants.
"It's simple really." He pulled out his cock and started stroking himself. "Now, I don't even have to say it because I already know how much of a slut you really are. So go ahead and do whatever you want. I won't stop you. Kneel if you want to."
"What the hell do you…" He was enraged for a moment until his thoughts came to a halt when he looked at Kohga's hardening cock.
"What? Something wrong?"
Link shook his head slowly his eyes glued to his master's cock. Nothing was wrong it just was... well what else was he supposed to do? Although perhaps he should get on his knees, he'd have a better view then. And without so much as a few blinks Link sank to his knees in front of Kohga.
"Well?" Kohga stroked himself lazily, basking in Link's helplessness.
"Hmm?" Link's mind began to spin from the heady scent drenching his nostrils.
"Why are you on your knees?"
Link's mind grew increasingly hazy as the seconds ticked by. "Because…cock."
"You're not angry with me?"
"No?"
"You're not sure?"
Kohga's smile crept even wider like that of a gleeful snake.
"I… don't know." The boy's eyes started to flutter like he was trying to fight off a wave of drowsiness.
"Well, if you're not sure than it couldn't have been important."
"yeah… not important."
"In fact, whenever you feel angry with me, I want you to come right here to this room by yourself and sit on your knees just as you are now, so we can…"
He couldn't help let out a chuckle.
"Work through any problems you want addressed. Understand?"
"Uh-huh. Thank you, master."
"Good boy. I bet you do know what is important right now, yes?"
"Mmhmm, cock!" Link sported a stupid grin as he leaned closer to his master's length.
"Who's cock?"
"Master's cock." The boy salivated.
Kohga stopped stroking and watched as Link slowly inched himself closer to his phallus like a bee towards a comb of honey. He might as well have been a mindless drone captivated by Kohga's powerful sweaty scent. His mouth hung slightly open while his saliva pooled over his tongue. He lowered his head slightly then slid Kohga's thick shaft over his tongue and started sucking on it as though it were second nature to him.
"That's right, be a good boy and fall deeper." Snap!
Kohga rested his left hand on the back of the boy's head.
"Deeper and deeper. So focused on me and my voice."
Link moaned as he felt his cock strain in his pants.
"You've done well boy. But you could still do better can't you love?"
"Mmmhmmf!" The boy agreed with his mouth full of cock.
"That's right. You're such a good boy and you'll continue to be just that if you do me this one little favor."
Link whined as Kohga tugged the boy from his scalp away from his throbbing groin.
"That night at the stable, when I hypnotized you and made you cum on my command. You're going to remember some things surrounding that event a little differently from now on."
While Kohga stood up Link focused his gaze upwards toward his master as the Yiga tucked his cock behind the hem of his drawers.
"The morning after that night you spoke to me outside the stable. Do you remember?"
"Yes. I remember sir."
"Tell me what happen."
"I got angry with you because," Link did his best to form his thoughts in his muddled state, "I was embarrassed that I came in the stable and everyone heard me."
"And then after that?"
"We argued. I didn't agree with you but you made me feel bad."
"Forget that argument. It never happened. Obey and forget. Erase it from your mind."
Kohga snapped his finger like he did with his other commands.
"Forget and obey. It's gone from your memory." Snap!
"This is what actually happened. I apologized to you and you forgave me. We discussed what boundaries can and can't be pushed. Do you remember?"
"Y-yes." There was a vague sensation in Link's mind but he was sure what his master was saying was true.
"You'll remember this more clearly if anyone ever asks you about it. And you'll simply tell Jinsai you forgot to mention it in your last conversation. You trust me completely, after all and you know without a doubt that your anger was misplaced at the time. You were overwhelmed by the experience in the stable and you just weren't ready to admit it to yourself. You weren't ready to admit how much you wanted it but now you're happy and grateful that I made the decisions I did that night."
Link nodded as though he had made an amazing discovery. "Yes! Thank you, master."
"Now tell me what happened the morning after that special night at the stable."
Link answered excitedly despite his haze. With his master's orders and his imagination, he fabricated a beautiful story.
"Good boy." Kohga sat back down and once more unclothed his cock for Link. "Go ahead and finish me off."
The blonde lunged forward taking his master as far as he could go. He worked vigorously like a starving animal who'd been given their first meal in weeks. Kohga came within minutes and Link swallowed everything as euphoria shot straight through him like a drug.
Kohga refastened his pants then tapped the spot on the bed next to him, "Sit here."
Link obliged immediately though Kohga had to led him his arm to gain stable footing.
Kohga placed his hand on Link's pent up hardon. "Soft."
Link let out a strangled mewl as the effect of the command took hold.
"Soft. Soft. Soft."
The sensation of his dick becoming flaccid by its unconventional means was odd; even a little unpleasant but it was short lived by the warm ripples of pleasure that flooded his whole body.
"Well done my pet." Kohga cooed as he caressed Link's flushed cheek. "Now, Link you have left the dark room."
Link's eyes fluttered in a frenzy as his conscious mind returned to the forefront.
"Link you do remember our safe words, don't you?" Kohga twirled his finger in a blonde lock of hair.
"Huh?"
"Don't space out on me when we're talking about something important, love."
"Sorry." Link rubbed his eyes surprised he couldn't recall what they were talking about yet his lack of awareness would've been enough to strike him as odd were it not for a distinctly pleasant sensation hovering over him. "What is, um what our safe words?"
"Casket. Whenever you say that everything will come to a stop."
"What's coming to a stop?" Link crossed his arms in contemplation feeling the goosebumps on his sides when he sensed a strange but familiar taste in his mouth.
Kohga sighed, "The scene Link. Please try to pay attention."
"R-right, sorry."
The boy's head sank into his shoulders; swallowing the strange residue in his throat to keep it from diverting his attention. He should've question why it was there or even paused a moment to remember what it reminded him of but his senses told him to focus on Kohga. Only on Kohga.
"If I ask you to 'check in' use 'open' to signal that everything is good and that you want more. Then use 'close' if you need me to pause or slow down. Understood?"
The boy nodded though the weight of Kohga's words became glossed over by a thick glaze in Link's mind. He heard his master but he was distracted by a heavy warmth in his body. Link couldn't help but think that it would be better if he just laid down and closed his eyes.
"Lay down."
Link obeyed without any resistance. It made sense to, it was as natural as breathing. He didn't need to know why or what Kohga had in mind he just needed to follow his lead. He closed his eyes. He hadn't realized how tired he felt. After a few moments of hearing Kohga moving around he felt his master's hands undressing him from below. Then his fingers probing him with his them dressed in that slick oil.
Kohga loved watching as Link moaned softly and tried to grind himself against his fingers. He looked like he was half asleep even still the boy thrusted himself to take Kohga's fingers deeper.
Link's cock grew erect fairly quickly; eager for attention. Kohga merely teased his scrotum enjoying the boy's squirms. The boy mumbled something incoherently in-between Kohga's strokes.
"What was that, love?"
Link mumbled again his words still untellable.
"You should've told me how tired you were earlier. How are you going to remember everything I told you hu? Bet you've already forgotten most of it."
"Uh-huh" Link murmured listlessly.
"You're so sweet like this. Just my dumb little cucco."
"Mmmhmm."
Kohga softly kissed the boy's lips and chuckled to himself beguiled with his sway over Link.
"Good boy. Sleep. Keep being my good obedient boy and I'll be sure to reward you so very generously."
Cold steel spread the ring of muscle of Link's sphincter causing his toes to curl. The metal plug stretched him further than the last time. He let out a deep sigh, reeling from the fullness the plug gave him. His thoughts diminished into nothingness as his whole body kept sinking and relaxing into the bed. Sleep then took him swiftly.
Link patiently stirred his slowly browning rice in a wide sauce pan. While he gradually added scoops of chicken broth to the pan for the rice to absorb, he had Kohga next to him dicing some chives and chillshrooms. Kohga handled the knife with the dexterity of a professional cook and finished his part in mere seconds.
"I thought you never cooked?" Link glanced over at his master cleaning the kitchen knife.
"I don't. But I know my way around knives." Kohga winked, "And you know your way around this kitchen very well." He said walking behind Link and caressed the boy's hips with both hands.
"I-I've told you before, haven't I? Golen lets me use the kitchen."
"Oh yes, as much as you want from what I see. You're quite lucky. He's very particular about who he lets use the space at their leisure."
"He is?"
"Mhmmm. Very." Kohga purred while giving Link's ass a teasing squeeze though his pants.
"Ahh, could you pass me that spoon?"
"This one?" Kohga grabbed a wooden spoon that was just out of Link's reach.
"Yeah."
Kohga held onto the spoon, eyeing Link's ass.
"Hmm."
"I need it now."
"Oh, you need it huh?"
"Yes!"
"I don't like your tone there." Kohga chuckled. He gave Link a firm smack on his ass with the spatula and the blonde yelped at the stinging hit.
"Hey!"
"You should ask nicely."
Despite himself Link was growing flush.
"Can I please have the spoon?"
"You're missing something." He gave Link's bum a few more playful taps.
Link stared at his simmering rice getting dangerously close at turning into charcoal. "Please… sir?"
"Good boy."
"Sh-shut up." Link blushed while receiving the spoon and kiss from Kohga.
"You liked it."
Link tossed in the diced shrooms and chives. Kohga still lingered behind him watching him work.
"Even outside the bedroom," Kohga curled his hand around Link's neck and traced the red woven thread, "You still enjoy submitting."
Link softly inhaled.
"I'm right, aren't I?"
"Y-yes."
"Yes what?"
"Yes sir."
"Then could you do me one more small favor?"
"Mhmm."
"Let yourself indulge in every submissive urge. Can you do that for me?"
"Yes sir."
Kohga gave Link's forehead a smooch, "Smells delicious. Is it ready?"
"A-almost. It just needs the butter."
Kohga handed him the soft block of butter.
"Thank you, sir." He blushed.
"You're welcome my little cucco."
The butter melted rapidly on the sauce pan. Link carefully stirred and turned the mushrooms over to make sure they were evenly slathered.
"How come you want me to call you 'sir' now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Before you wanted me to just call you 'Kohga' but now you want me to be formal again."
"I didn't say that. I just wanted you to be yourself. You're much more comfortable now than you were before the night of the banquet remember?"
"True. But then aren't I being too formal if I start using 'sir' again?" Link doused the flames of the stove and split the freshly cooked risotto onto two plates.
"You can still be a brat as much as you like. In fact, I love it when you are,"
He caressed Link's bangs.
"But know the difference lies in which dynamic of ours is being acknowledged. Not the Master Kohga the leader of the clan but the side of me that is your master."
Link's heart skipped from the way Kohga's voice inflected.
"You're mine." Link stared up at Kohga with wide blue eyes.
"As you are mine." Kohga beamed.
Link rested his fingertips on his necklace and tapped the thread lightly.
"Is this… my collar?"
"Do you want it to be?"
"Yes, but… well."
"Go on."
"It's not that I'm ungrateful but could I… could I have one like Tano's"
"You want some leather wrapped around this neck?" Kohga curled is palm around Link's throat.
"Yes." Link sighed dreamily. Link wasn't sure why but he felt it in his heart that sensation was something he deeply wanted. No. He needed it.
"Well, as long as you're grateful, I'm more than happy to provide."
"I am, I will be! Thank you master." He tiptoed to give Kohga a kiss then grabbed their plates to take them to the dining area.
They were accompanied by Endai, Ridah and Chiaki while they ate. The couple were focused on each other, sharing their breakfast with one another while Endai updated Kohga on his daily tasks. Amid Link eating his food Kohga slipped his hand onto Link's thigh. Link loved the teasing squeezes Kohga gave him. He welcomed the possessive touch and when it was time for him to go he leaned in close to give Kohga a farewell kiss and reciprocated the flirtation.
"Hey Link! Wait!"
The blonde stopped just as he was about to leave the camp grounds.
"Oh, morning Jin."
"Morning champ. So did you have that talk with Master Kohga?"
"Talk? Oh yeah! We did." Link smiled innocently.
Jinsai waited for a moment for the Hylian to elaborate.
"And?"
"Oh! Yeah, I forgot to mention the morning after at the stable Master Kohga and I had worked it out and set our boundaries for future sessions."
"You forgot?" Jinsai stared in disbelief.
"Yeah, he apologized for like you said 'overstepping' and everything else got sorted. So, you don't have to worry."
"Oh. Well, uh…" Jinsai was taken aback by Link's lively disposition. "That's good… no wait. How could you just forget something like that? You were pretty upset about it yesterday, weren't you?"
Link tilted his head, "I just overreacted. Master Kohga did what was best for me so everything's fine."
"Master Kohga did what's best…"
"Mhmm. Oh, by the way I forgot to ask you! Have you heard of a Hylian merchant woman wearing Gerudo clothing?"
"Uh, yeah actually." Jinsai was still perplex by Link's conclusion on the previous subject. He nonetheless shook off the whiplash.
"Really?! Have you seen them?"
"I've heard a few people say they saw someone like that hanging out on top of the bazaar's roof."
"Yes! Thanks Jin!"
"But what does…"
But before he could finish Link was well out of earshot. Jinsai stood there with a sinking feeling in his gut. He didn't want to think why Link's tenor had suddenly changed overnight. He had to find Teru.
Link couldn't believe his excitement as he ran towards the bazaar. A lead! An actual lead! He used the ladder that led up to the rock roof of the bazaar and after climbing several meters he reached the crest of the sedimentary lodge.
A feminine figure stood in solitude gazing at the sandstorm that billowed in the distance. From head to toe, she wore the traditional garb of the Gerudo. The rumors had been true!
