This could probably be a good story. Perhaps someone should... you know...

Enjoy!

"As the last in the bloodline, it is optimal that you-"

"I don't fucking care about the gods-damned bloodline!"

"Sheik! Watch you mouth. You will continue our family, your family, with a woman of my choosing. That is final."

"For fuck's sake, Auntie! I'm gay! I like guys!"

"It is your duty as your father's son."

"Did you not hear me? I like men. You know, strong and muscled men. With d-"

"Enough."

I actually flinched back at Impa's raised voice and tone. Tears began welling up in my eyes. "Don't act like you're my mother because you aren't! You'll never be her! I just wish you would leave me alone! I hate you!" Biting my lip in guilt for saying such a thing and also to stop myself from sobbing, I ran up to my room and slammed the door shut.

"Sheik?" The door opened a moment later and then the edge of my bed sunk. "You know I hate to force you-"

On automatic, I moved away from the hand trying to ruffle my hair. "Go away."

"We have to talk about this, nephew."

"I thought we had. I'm not- I can't-" Fresh tears sprang free as I got up quickly and turned to face her. "You don't understand how I feel and you won't try to!"

"If I promise to try, will you as well."

"Auntie, I..."

"Just meet with a few girls. If none of them suit you, then I will give up. Your cousin, Kafei, can take on the family name in your place."

"But he isn't-"

"I know."

I bit my lip. Kafei was a bastard child of my uncle's wife. We always considered him my uncle's son, but we knew he wasn't actually blood.

"I'd also like you to meet someone tomorrow."

I tried to keep my jaw from dropping open. This guy was my type. Strong jawline, straight nose, muscled... Tall as hell. Blue eyes blinked down at me, the top of my head only coming to his chin.

Weakly, I cleared my throat while making sure to look anywhere but at him. "It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Sheik." Heart pounding in my chest, I awkwardly reached my hand out in offering.

A deep, melodious chuckle left the guy as he took my hand in both of his. "The pleasure is all mine, I'm sure. Call me Link."

"L-Link." I squeaked as he leaned down and raised my hand to press a kiss to the back of it.

I wonder where I would have taken this one... Guess we will never know.

Bye!
