Last time...

Link appeared in the doorway then, the pizza box in his arms, and Sheik's tummy made yet another noise of complaint. He chuckled, setting the box on the counter, and grabbed two beers.

"Help yourself," he smiled, leaning against the counter. "Wanna watch a movie or something?"

"Sure," Sheik agreed. "What's on?"

Link shrugged. "I'm sure we'll find something."

Sheik blushed again, idly wondering if Link had planned this little rendezvous...but that couldn't be true, could it? Link was straight!

"Hey, Sheik!" Link yelled. "You gonna stand there all day? Get your pizza and come sit down!"

Sheik sighed, chuckling to himself. Sometimes Link could really be annoying when he wanted something. Or someone, he thought wryly, hurriedly grabbing his pizza and collapsing on the couch with a soft fwump.

Unfortunately for the poor lovesick boy, gravity did not seem to be on his side, and he spilled yet another can of beer. Turning to the blue-eyed beauty beside him, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, like a fish out of water.

"I...I'm sorry, Link," he sighed. "I think gravity hates me or something."

Link smiled softly, briefly causing the other to wonder if those pouty lips were as soft as they looked, and patted his hand soothingly.

"It's okay, Sheik," he replied comfortingly. "It can be cleaned up, and there are more in the fridge."

"But...I...oh, you must think I'm an idiot," Sheik moaned.

"Not at all, I promise," Link answered.

Sheik fell silent then, and bit into his pizza with a moan of satisfaction and delight. As he ate, the red-eyed man snuck a look of longing at his friend, who was now idly flipping through the channels searching for something, anything to watch.

Link sighed, accepting defeat at not being able to find anything, and turned to the other man. "Sheik...look...I need to tell you something."

But before he could begin, Sheik smiled knowingly. "You asked my aunt to bore me out of her house...right?"

"Well, that's part of it," Link laughed nervously. "I've liked you ever since we met and well..." He trailed off, blushing.

"I like you, too, Link," Sheik whispered, trailing his fingers along Link's cheek softly.

Link melted into the simple, yet burning, touch of his love's fingers. "Sheik..."

The man in question smiled softly. "Yes, my lovely Link?"

"Can I kiss you?" Link swallowed, nervous.

"Do you need to ask?" Sheik rolled his eyes.

That was all the encouragement the blue-eyed man needed, for suddenly, Sheik found himself being very soundly kissed. It was a simple kiss, pure and questioning, but flames of passion lurked on its edges.

Link pulled away, looking at Sheik with love-filled eyes. "I should be happy there was nothing on."

Sheik snorted. "If this is what happens every time, then yes, we are very lucky indeed."
