Sorry the update has taken so long. I'm kinda feelin' my other stories more, but I will keep working on this. I'm thinking a few more chapters... What do you guys think? I need ideas on where to go with this! No idea is stupid! Let me know what YOU guys want to read. Thank you to everyone who reviewed last time and every other chapter, it means a lot. I hope this isn't disappointing. Love you all!
"I'm not really feeling this teaching thing," Ghirahim said to Link. He was sorting through some papers on his desk. There was nobody in the classroom- those who lived in the academy were still asleep and the other kids who lived in town were doing their chores. Link laughed and handed Ghirahim a paper he couldn't find. "You've only been teaching for a week!" Link said. Ghirahim nodded and flipped his binder shut, and then he turned around to erase the board. "I know, and it's kinda fun because I know a lot about it, but... It's hard to explain." He wrote up on the board "SEAFLOOR SPREADING" and then started scribbling under it.
"When I served Demise he had the biggest library. When I had pleased him or if he was away I was allowed to read in there," Ghirahim said quietly. "Of course, I chose the biggest books because I thought they held the biggest distraction." He put down his chalk for a moment and held out his hair, revealing a normal-looking ear, which contradicted his pointed one. "Demise had quite the temper," he laughed bitterly. "Anyway," he continued, writing on the board about magma, "at first I read the words so I wouldn't have to face what was happening out there, where Demise could hurt me. In books, I was a student, I was learning. I could always go back and reread and teach myself and it was always there, the words. I read every book on science he had, and committed them to memory. I loved it. I loved that almost everything people know about can be explained with molecules or atoms, and that one is homozygous and one is heterozygous. I loved that there was an order when I read. I became very good at science, and I was always trying to put an explaination to what I saw." He put his chalk down and leaned back on his desk. Link listened carefully, watching him.
"But then I met you, skychild," Ghirahim said, a small smile on his face. "Even when I was hunting for for the spirit maiden, I was putting science behind everything. I lost all that when I met you in Skyview Temple. I didn't understand how someone like me could fall to someone like you. But I did. And again and again, you beat me. And I was beginning to think that maybe everything couldn't be explained. I know it can't now." He stood up and walked to the back of the room, where none of the few students in the hall could see or hear him. Link followed him, and Ghirahim put a gentle hand on his cheek. Link's eyes closed when Ghirahim whispered on his lips, "I can't explain why I love you. I can't justify it. But," he said, pressing a small kiss to Link's lips, "I know that there is nothing, not even science, that can explain why I fell in love with you."
He kissed Link softly, but with no less heat. When Ghirahim had to let Link break away for air, he explained, "I don't think I'd be a good teacher anymore because I can't say I believe in science anymore. Science wouldn't allow this." He pulled Link closer to him, putting one hand on his chest. Link's hands fluttered around Ghirahim. Warm. Ghirahim had licked Link's mouth. He whispered into Link's mouth, "But I don't care."
It was the first time Link and Ghirahim had ever really kissed like that, using their tongues, but Link would make sure it wasn't the last.
XOXOXO
"Did you really have to give so much homework?" Link asked, dropping his books on the floor by the doorway to his room. Ghirahim followed behind him, stretching, and then yawned, "Everyone else got just as much as you did." Link rolled his eyes and said, "I know, I know."
Link collapsed on his bed, covering his eyes with his arm. "I'm just gonna do it tomorrow," he groaned. Ghirahim chuckled and then laid on top of Link. Link smiled and moved his arm. Ghirahim kissed his jaw. "Well, now you're schedule is empty." Link smiled and laced his hands behind Ghirahim's neck.
"I love you, Link," Ghirahim whispered. Link mumbled something back. "I'll take that as a ditto."
XOXOXO
Zelda made her way to Link's room. She heard heavy breathing beyond the door and hesitated. She knocked and tried not to pay attention to the groans. "You have the worst timing, Hylia!" Ghirahim shrieked. Link came to the door and braced his hand on his knee. "Yes, Zelda," Link said impatiently. She blushed and tried not to pay attention Ghirahim, who was pulling his jumpsuit on.
Link looked up at her. "What?" he asked. Zelda raised an eyebrow. "It's been a month," Zelda said simply. His eyes widened immediately and he said, "I'll put some pants on." He shut his door and Zelda went to go visit with some of her old friends while she waited. Link looked up at the bed to tell Ghirahim this time would be better, but he wasn't there.
Ghirahim stood in front of the door, stony faced. Link hopped on one foot, too excited to pull his pants on while standing still. "Huh?" he asked. Ghirahim said with no emotion, "I won't be left out like last time." Link resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "I know, I'm not gonna-"
Ghirahim sliced his hand through the air, silencing Link. Link turned and faced his mirror, finger-combing his hair. Ghirahim sounded angry but his voice stayed at the same volume. "I won't be a rebound, Link. You pick me or you pick her."
Dun, dun, DAAAAAAAAAAHHH! Lol. Was that a terrible cliffhanger? Yeah, it was. *explodes* Just... give me a second... *human again* Okay, so I'm going out for a birthday today at four and I have a lot of crap to do today and my macaroni is getting cold... But maybe I can write some more before then? Depends on you guys! Okay, I have this thing I do with my Hunger Games story where I say a cool song at the end of each chapter. Why? So you know how cool I am. Lol. I'm a rapper, I don't like country or anything really slow. So, the song of the day is All I Do is Win by DJ Khaled. Swearing, I guess. Not bad though. Review, peeps!
All I do is win, win, win, no matter what! Got money on my mind, I can never get enough! Bwahaha. sorry. It's true though. Except instead of I can never get enough money, I have two dollars in my pocket right now. Yeah. WIN!
