Sheik is kinda cute in this one. And not like a typical cute, more stubborn and 'I'll wreck you' cute. But maybe that is just me thinking he is.
Enjoy!
"I like you." I kept my eyes clenched shut and tried to stop the erratic beating of my heart as my confession came out.
"You... like me?" Laughter erupted throughout the classroom, my crush joining in after a few moments. "Sorry, four eyes. I'm not into guys. And even if I was, what makes you think I would settle for someone like you."
It felt like my heart shattered.
I gasped as I woke up from that gods-awful dream. Why was I having it suddenly? Perhaps because I was finally moving back to my hometown. To my old school...
"Come on, Sheik. School starts in a half hour. You better be ready to go in twenty minutes." I ruffled my hair and sighed.
"Okay. I'm awake."
People kept staring at me as I walked down the hallway. Was I being recognized? Then an arm around my waist stopped me. "Where are you going, beautiful?"
Blue eyes looked down at me. "Class."
I slipped out of Link's arm, but then I was caught again. "Wait, wait."
My lips flattened into a frown. "I thought you didn't like guys, Link."
A wicked grin split my mouth as he blinked. "G-Guy?"
"Yeah. I'm a guy." I shoved him away. "You probably remember me as 'four eyes', right?"
"Shit. You're Sheik." Link rubbed at his chin as he moved closer so no one could hear us. "You... I didn't think... Do you still like me? Is that why you look like this now?"
My hands balled into fists, but I had a plan. "No, you fucking stuck-up no-good son of a bitch bastard."
I hissed lowly. "I did this so you could see what you could have had. Perhaps if you hadn't hurt me back then, then you would be dating the beautiful me now. But you didn't and I'm better than you."
Murmuring erupted from everyone around us, none of them sure what was going on, but then I pulled away from Link with teary eyes. "N-No! Let go of me! It hurts!" The reaction from the crowd was immediate.
"Geez, Link."
"Jerk."
"How could you hurt someone so cute."
Link gaped at me and I turned to a nearby guy. I tilted my head up and pouted lightly. "Please don't let him near me again." I sniffled and the guy wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"Damn, Link. I didn't know you were such an arse." Link gaped at me before turning and stalking down the hall. I felt pretty accomplished.
"Sheik, your friend is down here."
"I'll be down in a minute." Who could it be? The guy from my chem class or perhaps the one in gym... Oh, well. I got up from my bed and went to my closet to pick a cute 'you caught me at home' outfit.
"It's just me, so you don't have to dress up." I eeped and turned to find Link in my doorway.
My gaze hardened. "What are you doing here?"
Azure orbs looked over my stained plain red t-shirt and barely visible purple shorts. "I think you look cute like that."
I groaned. "Hardly."
"It's naturally cute." My bed creaked as he sat down.
I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall. "What is it you want?"
"A second chance." Hopeful blue glanced up through golden locks and I fought with the feelings I had beat down.
"Why? Is it because I'm finally good enough for you."
"Why did you stop wearing your glasses?"
"They weren't cute."
"I thought they were."
"Liar."
"It was embarrassing, you know." He rubbed at the back of his neck. "I didn't want to admit I liked you in front of my friends."
"Quit trying to feed me that bullshit."
"It's not. I swear."
"I don't believe you."
"Your confession brought up all the questions I kept asking myself when I thought about you or saw you, Sheik. My heart beat for you and I tried to cover it up by saying I wasn't falling for you."
"Liar."
"I mean it."
"Liar."
"I love y-"
"Liar!" I held my stomach to keep in a sob, but it escaped anyways.
"I'm serious, Sheik. You were beautiful inside and out to me then."
"But I'm not now! I came back to show you I was finally good enough! I wanted you to admit your love for me, call me cute, want me! I longed to turn you down, to hurt you like you had me! Yet, I tried for so long to be a cute person for you that I'm ugly inside now! I can't stop thinking about how to make you notice me mo-"
Gentle hands cradled my face and warm lips met mine. "I can't see anyone but you, Sheik. It's been like this for years."
"What if I stop dressing up and wear my glasses again?"
"Then I'll still love you."
"Really?"
"Mmm. Yeah."
Bonus 1:
I fixed my glasses, grabbed the milk from the fridge, and closed the door before walking back over to the table.
Link laughed softly as I poured another glass of milk and grabbed the milk mix. "More strawberry milk again?"
"It's my favorite." A pout took over my lips and I didn't bother to stop it.
"Gods, Sheik. Please don't torture me so early in the morning." I gasped as he leaned over and placed a kiss to my cheek. "I'm not against ravishing you right here, you know."
A blush warmed my face as I ducked my head. "I know."
"So you should."
Bonus 2:
I watched Sheik walk across the street to the school and sighed. Why did I feel like this? Was I ill? Or maybe... Do I like him? Is it okay for guys to like other guys? What would everyone think if I admit to liking our glasses-wearing classmate? Would they stop talking to me? Is that okay with me? No. I... I like my friends quite a bit. I don't want to lose them, but... I want to hold Sheik. Why?
Blah, blah, blah. Words and stuff about inspiration for story. Nah, just kidding. This was simply me wanting to have Sheik wear glasses.
Bye!
