I wonder what strange concept I was experimenting on with this one... Probably my early 'Sheik is full of sass' phase.
Enjoy!
I was always a good boy. Never did I do anything wrong. Though, to give me some credit I had never drank before. And it wasn't really my fault my cousin spiked my drink.
Hands were on my hips, but they obviously weren't mine. A mouth was at my neck, sucking at the skin and leaving marks. I knew my cousin, Midna, was watching and laughing, but I couldn't help myself. The guy was rocking our bodies back and forth, the beat wild in my ears. I had a feeling I wouldn't live this down any time soon. Then he was whispering in my ear. Offering to take me back to his room. I accepted like a fool.
"Ugh." I groaned when the sunlight blinded me as I turned over in the bed.
"Not a morning person, are you." Lips moved against my lower back and I squeaked, lunging forward out of the warm covers. And felt like I was dying.
"Mother fu-" I bit my lip in pain and gasped for air.
"That was not a good idea. We had some crazy awesome sex last night. Err... what of it I can remember. I don't know who put something in the punch, but it was some hella strong liquor." I turned, tears streaming down my face, to face the guy I had... Slept with.
"Would you mind telling me where my clothes are?" I attempted to stand and yelped as the pain renewed itself.
"I threw them in the wash. Figured you didn't want se-"
I cut him off with a quick shush. A blush was spreading on my face as I tugged the blanket off the bed to cover myself. "Thank you very much."
"You're interesting. And awfully cute. You go to this school, right?" His blue eyes were narrowed in confusion. I guess he had never seen me before. Makes sense. I try to stay in the background.
Besides, that was a stupid question. No one is allowed on school grounds unless they have permission or attend the school. "I do."
"I don't recall ever seeing you." He looked to be in thought. "Hmm... Nope. Nothing."
"That's because I don't usually dress like I did last night. My cousin insisted she pick my outfit." Which reminded me. "How long until my clothes are done?"
"Ah..." He blushed. "Probably done. I'll go get those."
"Thanks."
The room was silent except for the sound of crunching cereal. Then Link spoke. "So... How do you feel about last night?"
I shrugged. "Seeing as I don't remember much, I'd say I will just pretend it didn't happen."
"What?!" I flinched when his metal spoon landed in the glass bowl, making a loud tinging noise.
"Why would this be something we need to remember? It isn't like it will happen again and the two of us hardly know each other." I checked my phone when it went off, happy to ignore the upset man sitting across from me. Midna was asking how good of a night I had. I bet she did this on purpose.
"I thought that we could-"
I cut him off. "What? You thought we could make a habit of sleeping together? I don't know if I seem it, but I'm not into that. If I have sex, and not drunk sex, I want it to be with someone I truly care about." At that, I stood up and made my way to the sink to rinse my bowl. I wonder if my limp is better. I've been working on it for the past hour and the hot shower appeared to have helped.
"That isn't what I was going to say." I could hear the sudden desperation in his voice. "I figured we could get to know each other and perhaps start dating cause I like you."
I turned around and scowled. "No, you like how I look. But once you get to know me, you'll understand that we don't match."
Link's eyes narrowed. "And why wouldn't we match?"
"Because-"
He cut me off, causing my scowl to deepen. "You think I'm a dumb jock, don't you?" Link locked his gaze with mine and I could see the anger there.
My throat suddenly felt dry, so I walked the short distance to grab my glass of, sadly, non-strawberry milk off the table. He watched me with an icy glare as I drank deeply. I decided to put the issue off a little longer by going back to the sink to rinse my cup.
Link let out an annoyed sigh. "You know what, fine. We can pretend this didn't happen. I'll just act like I didn't have an amazing one-night-stand with the most gorgeous guy I've ever met. Hell, the only person I have ever wanted to try a relationship with. All because he is convinced I'm a bull-headed prick with his head shoved so far up his own arse that he doesn't see the good in others. Yeah, whatever."
I winced as he stormed out and slammed his door. It was for the best. Right?
"Did you guys see Link?"
I tried to ignore the gossiping people like always.
"Yeah. What is he planning?"
For some reason, it just wasn't working.
"I don't know, but he looked pretty serious."
Never would I admit it out loud.
"What do you think was in the back of his truck?"
But I knew I was listening because it was all about Link.
"It looked like bags of leaves."
The bell rang and we all got up to head out of the classroom. I stayed back like always, opting to help the teacher pick up and avoid the chaos that is the hallway.
"Thanks, Sheik. You're a big help." Mrs. Anju, she wanted a 'warmer' classroom and asked us to call her by her first name, smiled at me as I grabbed my bag from my desk.
"It was my pleasure." Just like every day, she pulled me into a hug.
"My Kafei is so lucky to have you for a cousin. So sweet." I chuckled and returned her embrace.
"He is lucky to have you as a wife." Right on cue, Anju's face erupted in a bright blush.
"You are just so sweet." I almost yelped when she tugged at my face, squishing it this way and that. "Now run along before your friends come looking for you."
I waved goodbye as I walked out of the room and then sighed. Yeah... Friends. What she meant was: I have a study group to get to. How exciting. My shoulders drooped. Why did I reject Link's offer again? Oh, right. Because we are in completely different groups, not to mention his fan-girls would kill me.
"Sheiky!" A squeak slipped out as I was tackled to the floor.
"Midna!" My cousin grinned down at me.
"Hurry!" She stood up and tugged me along after her.
I stomped my feet down and held my spot even as Midna urged me to follow. "And where are we hurrying to?"
She grabbed both my wrist and kicked me in the back of my knees. "The courtyard!" In one swift motion, I was up on Midna's shoulder.
It wasn't hard to give into my fate and just let Midna take me to wherever she wanted. This wasn't the first time she had done this to me.
"I got him!" Cheering sounded and I looked around to see many people gathered on the edges of the courtyard. Midna had slipped away and I stood in the spot she placed me. Even if I was greatly confused.
Suddenly, hundreds of deku baba flowers rained down from the surrounding rooftops. I'm sure I looked like a kid in a candy store as I watched my favorite flower pile up. All different colors surrounded me and I breathed in the smell.
"Does this prove we can be together, Sheik?" I turned, stunned at Link's voice. His lips were stretched into a wide grin. "Well?"
"You- I- How did you know?" He stepped over a small pile.
"You may not remember it, but we used to be in the gardening club together. I have to say that is when I fell in love with you."
"But you-"
"I know, I know. I acted like I didn't know who you were. I was... afraid."
"Of what?"
"If you had known I knew who you were, wouldn't you have questioned me about it. I don't think I could have hidden my love for you. Then you'd have gotten me to admit I wanted to sleep with you and get mad thinking I planned it when I didn't. I just didn't want you to hate me."
So strange. Even I don't know what to think of this one.
Bye!
