I really wanted to take this story and go with it, but that obviously didn't happen. I got the stuff out that was stuck in my head and then... nothing else. It happens.

Enjoy!

"Link! Please take my virginity!" The group of popular guys turned to look at me and I willed my face to not erupt into a fierce blush.

The guy I had just called out, Link, got up from the picnic table and I kept from flinching back as he approached. "Don't you think you're a little too ugly to be asking that of me."

Pinpricks came to my eyes and tears began to form. Of course he wouldn't want to do something like that with me. I was plain, always had my hair up in a tight bun, and wore massive glasses. Not to mention my over-sized clothes hid my petite, unattractive body. Running my fingers through my hair, unintentionally loosening the bun to the point of it trying to fall out, I tried to quell my nerves.

"I-I- Forgive me. I was foolish to think..." My hand trembled as I took my glasses away from my face to wipe at my eyes. "Please, forget I said anything."

Those shining rubies stared up at me as the guy, I think his name is Sheik, fumbled for words. To say I wasn't surprised by how cute he was in that moment would be a lie. How did he go from the no-nonsense, stick shoved up his arse, stone-face prick to this bumbling, adorable mess.

"I'll just go now." And he hurried away just like that.

"Woah, Link! You made the robot cry!" Dark came over to hang on me, but I was too far into my thoughts to care. "Hello! Hyrule to Link! Come in Link!"

"Huh?" I turned to regard my friends. They all looked quite puzzled as I grinned. "I think I just fell in love."

People pointed and whispered as I made my way down the hall. Surely, talk of me asking Link to sleep with me had spread everywhere. Why was I such a fool?

My pants were suddenly quite tight as Sheik stepped around the corner at the end of the hall.

His hair was in a cute, sloppy bun today. Almost like he had tried to put it up like usual but couldn't motivate himself enough. Only three buttons on his button-up were actually done up, the three being the very bottom ones. It seems as if he had quit or lost interest when buttoning it up. Not to mention, they were off by one. One side of his shirt was tucked into his pants, practically pulling it off the one shoulder, and the other was pulled higher by the misplaced buttons.

Thankfully, his pants were on correctly, perhaps a little crooked on his hips and showing off a delicious hip bone. Sheik's bulky glasses were no where to be found and I noticed he kept rubbing at his eyes. Was his eyesight that bad? Finally, I chuckled at the adorable keaton slippers on his feet. Were those eye of truth socks?

Had he always been this cute?

Within a second, he had bumped into a guy, probably from lack of seeing properly, and was forced up against the lockers. I saw red.

"I-I'm sorry!" I squeaked as the taller male's hand came to rest above my head.

His hot breath hit me as he leaned closer. "You know, you're really fuckable today. What say I forgive you this once."

Why, why, why?! I hadn't meant to run into this guy. I was distracted and definitely not fully here today. Shaking my head, I pressed back as far against the metal behind me as I could.

"You say you won't. Well, that's bullshit. I heard you wanted to be fucked." A wicked grin and his hand not on the wall was touching the skin pulling tight by my hip bone. "Or does it have to be that damned pretty boy."

"Hey, arsehat." Link?

The guy turned. "Wha-"

A fist came soaring in to connect with his jaw. Next thing I know, I'm wrapped up in firm yet gentle arms. "Stay the hell away from my boyfriend, you stupid bastard."

My eyes were wide as Link scooped me up, murmurs filling the hall, and carried me away. I held on tightly, wishing this would never stop.

Pissed, I set Sheik into one of the chairs in a nearby classroom.

He wouldn't meet my gaze and it only made me even madder. His tiny, helpless whisper didn't help. "Thank you."

"Why did you come to school dressed like this?" Trying to cool my anger, I began the task of straightening out his buttons.

"I-" The button-up was suddenly pulled tight around his body. "Don't look!"

"Stupid." I flicked his forehead, surprising Sheik enough to have him loosen his grip, and finished fixing his shirt. "There. Now, let's do something with this hair."

A cute pink tint lit up his face as his eyes finally met mine. "Why are you doing this?"

I coughed to cover up staring intently at his pursed lips. They looked damn good. Scratching at my neck, I rolled my shoulders. "Anyone would have helped you out, dummy."

"But why?" Sheik began chewing his bottom lip.

Overcome with desire, I leaned in to catch those lips and, yeah, I was correct. They are fantastic.

He gasped and I was not going to miss my chance. My shirt was grasped in small hands as my tongue took control of this adorable boy's mouth, plundering it mercilessly. I found he jumped every time I licked at the roof of his mouth and couldn't stop myself from chuckling into the kiss as he did yet again.

The most erotic noises I had ever heard were being muffled by my mouth and I desperately wanted to hear them fully. That on my mind, I withdrew myself from that sinful combination of plush lips and hesitant tongue to bite and suck at a slender throat.

Still not quite satisfied, my hands came down to grab a full arse, causing my adorable Sheikah to arch into my body. It was cute how, a moment later, he shifted back before realizing that put him further against my hands and moved forward again. Only to repeat the process well over ten times.

"You're too cute." Sheik bit his lip and pressed his face into the place where my neck and shoulder meet as I reached around his body to cup him firmly.

"N-Not cute..." A flushed face, half-lidded eyes, and kiss-swollen lips had me groaning as he glanced up at me. Sheik turned his face away, his whispered words reaching me. "Too small... not attractive..."

"What about you isn't?" Obviously surprised I had heard, he hid in me again. Removing my hands from him, I crouched before the chair. "Tell me what isn't cute and I'll make you see that it is."

"Link..." Oh, how I would love to make my name the only thing he can say. Damn the Three for making this little guy perfect even with tears in his eyes as he looked down at me. "We're in school."

"Then let's skip." Smiling, I stood and pulled Sheik from the chair.

...

My chest ached as I opened the letter and started to read.

Hi, Link.

If you reading this, then I wasn't able to convince my aunt to let me stay in school until graduation.

The truth is that I have a rare heredity disease passed down to me by my mother. The same one that took her life when I was three years old. I won't go into detail, but it has no cure and cannot be treated. The most I was given when they diagnosed me was two years. That was a year ago.

I'm sorry I lied when I said we would walk together at graduation. I won't make it that long. But I promise you if I am still around, by some miracle of the gods or otherwise, I will be there.

Watermarks could be seen here and I knew Sheik had been crying at this point.

Please, don't cry for me. I've had too many people do that already. What I want is for you to be happy. Smile that bright, sunny smile I love to the ends of the universe and back.

You know, I told you I fell in love with you not long ago. You remember that, right? Well. I lied.

It was almost too much to continue because I was suddenly scared he would take it all back, but the paper was the most ruined here. I knew I would find something that made me cry in a good way.

I've loved you since the day I first saw you. That was seven years ago. My love is still going strong today.

I know I probably used you by starting our relationship and speeding it up as quickly as possible, but I knew I needed to. If you hate and scorn me for it, then so be it. But I will not regret the time we have shared no matter what. I'm happy I was able to befriend you. And love you. And be with you. And lose myself completely to you before it was too late.

Gods damn it all, you were worth the wait. I've never felt so good as that night. The feel of you against me was enough to make me overflow with desire, but than you were there. Making love to me. And I am so sorry for disappearing the morning after before you woke up, but I needed to or I would have never come to the hospital.

Please, forgive me for the pain I have caused you by becoming close to you in the end of my life. I can only hope and pray to the Three you will.

I love you, Link. I will for the rest of my life, however long that is. My greatest wish is that you will be happy.

Yours forever and always,

Sheik.

I clutched the paper in my hands, curling over on myself in the chair, and began to openly weep. It hurt. Gods, it hurt. This was the worse pain I have ever felt in my life. My heart was breaking.

My hands loosened and the letter fell to the floor, but not without revealing a note scribbled on the back. Confused, I leaned forward to pick up the paper once more and read it.

This is Impa. Sheik's aunt. I'm sure my nephew is in love with you, regardless of what he put in this letter. If you are not playing with his heart, then make sure you are at the Kakariko Hospital on Monday the seventh at eleven. He will be having an experimental procedure that day that could take his life or start him on the path of recovery. I know he is scared and I can offer him comfort, but I believe you can give it best.

Scrambling for my phone, I checked the date and time. Monday the seventh. Nine.

"Shit!" I had two hours to make it to Kakariko. To Sheik.

The surgery sign was posted above the door we were about to walk through. My i.v. ached in my arm and I tried to not think about it. I breathed in and out deeply, Impa's hand clutched in mine. "Calm down, nephew."

I nodded and focused on the callouses on her hands. Link had them too. Tears tried to form, but I pushed them away.

"-op! -ack here!"

Impa and I both looked down the hallway as a figure came speeding towards us. My eyes widened. The hand holding mine moved away and my aunt stepped to the side as Link came barreling into me.

"Dammit, Sheik! You lying son of a bitch! How could you?!" Strong arms wrapped my body in the warmth I had missed. Lips pressed into my hair that was pulled to the side in a braid to keep it out of the way for the doctors. "I love you. I love you so much. I can't believe you would keep this from me."

Each 'I love you' was punctuated with a kiss closer and closer to my lips until Link's hovered over them. "I'll wait for you. I promise. You can count on me being the first person you see when you wake up. No matter how long it takes, I will be here."

To be honest, I hadn't cried since I wrote the letter to him almost a week ago. But I soon found I was sobbing uncontrollably in his arms. "I'm so scared, Link."

He soothed me by humming in my ear and rubbing up and down my back. "You have nothing to fear. We will get through all this together. It will be over before you know it."

"We should get inside, nephew. The doctor is waiting."

The last thing I saw before Sheik disappeared was a content smile gracing his face.

You can take the ending and do whatever you want with it. Whether that be Sheik passing during surgery or him recovering and being with Link. Whatever works.

Bye!
