Chapter Fourteen
Void sat on Rusl and Uli's front step. His head rested in his hands as he half listened to Rusl and Uli talking above him. Uli, holding the baby, knelt down beside him and gently ran her hand across his back. Link was sitting on Void's other side and she looked sympathetically at him, her blue eyes affectionate.
"Here, drink some water," Uli said. She tried handing him a cup full of water, but he stubbornly shook his head. He'd washed his hands since coming down from the ranch and now sat half curled over.
Link felt a flicker of frustration as he watched Void. He leaned over and took the cup from Uli. He would get Void to drink the water, even if it cost him some of his pride. Link drank from the cup, holding the water in his mouth and pulled Void's head up. Uli, flustered, was about to belittle Link when he slammed his lips against Void's in a bruising kiss and shoved his tongue into Void's mouth.
A strangle cry of shock and embarrassment escaped Void, only making Link's job easier. Link twined his tongue with Void's as he forced the water into the other's mouth. He drew back, forcing Void to swallow and gasp for air. Void sputtered and coughed, covering his mouth with his hand. He glared accusingly at Link, red eyes blazing. Uli was staring at Link and Void in embarrassed shock while Rusl looked quickly away. He'd seen Void and Link kiss once before, but this was very different, a public display on Link's part.
"What was that for?" Void spat, his hand still covering his mouth. A deep flush had crossed his cheeks, turning his ashen cheeks red with embarrassment. Link only smirked at Void, smugness written across his face. Void snarled lunged, swiping at Link's head.
"Why you little…!" Void cried. Link ducked, laughing at Void's flustered state and easily dodged Void's blows. He came back quickly, capturing Void's lips in another searing kiss. No matter how embarrassed he was, Void sunk into the kiss, pressing back against Link's lips.
Void dropped one hand to the wooden porch, supporting his and Link's weight while his other hand snaked around Link's shoulders. His crimson eyes fluttered shut as he pressed more firmly against Link. Link smirked into the kiss and placed one arm around Void's waste while seeking out Void's hand on the porch with his other and gripping those cold fingers.
This time Link brushed his tongue across Void's lips, asking for entrance. Void complied, parting his lips and moaning when Link's tongue brushed against his. Link ran his tongue along Void's again, withdrawing a moan from the other. The clearing of a throat made both of them jump and Void turned quickly away from Link, his face flushed with shame and embarrassment. Link flinched and looked sheepishly up at Rusl.
Rusl gestured though at who had been watching them and Link flushed darkly, looking away almost immediately. Void only glanced up to see Colin and the people who were with him. If was far, far too embarrassing to face what they'd just done in front of everyone.
"Well, this is unexpected," Telma said her voice carrying good naturedly over to where the two of them sat. Void raised his hand again to hind his face, the flush burning his cheeks. Link's own mortified expression almost matched Void's perfectly and he ducked his head in shame. Of all the days to come around to Ordon Village, Telma, Renado, and Luda had arrived. But it wasn't just the three of them and Colin who had witness the display of affection. The mayor and Ilia had come down from the ranch. Ilia's hands were covering her mouth, her green eyes wide in distress at the sight.
Void cursed himself silently, refusing to look up. He only had the vague knowledge of who these people were and couldn't believe they'd just seen him and Link kiss. Of course they'd kissed before, but never in front of people!
"Humph, you don't look much better than last time we saw you," Telma said, walking over to look at Void. He had no idea what she was talking about, his confusion evident on his face as he looked up at her.
"It was Renado who nursed you mostly back to health," Rusl said. "He left shortly before you woke up."
Void nodded slowly, his red eyes raking across the visitors.
"So, would you mind telling me what's going on?" Telma asked, his voice stern as she looked between Link and Void and then at Rusl and Uli. Link looked at the ground, finding it suddenly very interesting and Void looked away.
"It would seem these two are a bit closer than I would have guessed," Rusl said. His voice carried hint of amusement that made Void's guts roil. He sat up enough to look at the visitors. There was something about the woman Telma. She reminded him of the Gerudo in appearance. Her darker skin and red hair was reminiscent, but her features were softer than the Gerudo's.
Link interacted with the visitors, showing them his home and the village for most of the day while Void remained on the outskirts. Her caught Renado and Telma casting glances at him during the day. He would always look away quickly, refusing to make eye contact.
It was that evening Renado, Telma, the mayor, Rusl, and Uli were talking that Telma asked, "Has he really recovered completely?"
"It would seem so," Rusl answered gravely. "He's condition hasn't changed in weeks."
"He's strong, though," Uli interjected. Her gentle gaze was warm and she spoke fondly of Void and Link.
"But his behavior with Link was unacceptable," the mayor thundered. He looked enraged at the thought of the two kissing.
"My old friend," Renado said calmly. "Link has see and done too much to be treated like a child. No one should act that way in public, but would you deny Link his lover?"
The mayor looked flustered and should his head, "Of course not, but…"
Telma shook her head and cast a glance over at Void and Link. They were sitting at the edge of the lake, no touching, just staring over the water. "It's as if they were meant to be together," she murmured more to herself than anyone else.
"I think," Rusl said; think of his own two children, "that Void hasn't been taught how to act around people. It would seem he's only ever lived on his own and had himself to depend on. He doesn't know how to act and is frustrated easily."
Uli smiled slightly and said quietly, "He just needs to be loved and treated properly. Not like a child or like he doesn't belong."
"This morning he did help Fado and Link with one of the goats," the mayor admitted rather reluctantly.
The five of them looked back over and Link and Void. The two of them looked somewhat forlorn in the twilight, as though lost in memories. The saw Void silently seek Link's hand, his fingers curling around the other's. These subtle gestures of affection and uncertainty had more impact, than Void's earlier actions did.
Void sat on the floor of Link's house. The cool night air breezed in through the open window; it sent a shudder down Void's spine, causing him to look up in confusion. His crimson eyes burned in the low light from the fire, flickering in the stone fireplace. There was something in the night air that had him on high alert, a foreboding had rolled over him during the evening and now he felt the tension in his muscles.
Void gazed intensely at the darkening sky out the window. He could feel the crackle in the air of an oncoming storm. The feel of tension in the vary air filled him with anticipation and an uneasy alertness. The front door swung open and Link walked in. He saw Void by the fire, the tension obvious. He saw Void looking intently out the window and walked quietly over to sit beside the Shadow.
Link looked quietly at Void, watching the light from the fire play off the plains of his face. Void turned to look at Link, his red eyes intense. The tension in the air outside with the upcoming storm burned between the two of them as Void met Link's eyes. Silently, Link leaned over and pressed his lips to Void's. Void closed his eyes and placed a hand on the back of Link's head.
Link drew his tongue across Void's lips and groaned quietly as Void opened his mouth to allow him entrance. Void pushed his tongue forwards and met Link's, battling for dominance. Link won and forced his tongue completely into the other's mouth. Void moaned audibly and buried both hands in Link's hair. He allowed himself to be pushed back by Link, his back meeting the blankets he slept on.
Link broke away from Void gasping for breath. He looked fondly down at the other, seeing his pale face flushed. He descended again trailing kissed along Void's jaw to his ear. Void moaned loudly, writhing under Link's touch.
Link licked the shell of Void's ear, and then bit down on it, flicking his tongue across the pointed tip. Void arched his back, eyes closed, panting. He clenched his fists in Link's hair and pulled him up to kiss him fiercely. Link moaned when Void sucked and nipped his lower lip, running his tongue across the kiss swollen flesh.
Void pulled back to look at Link, taking in his flushed face, his eyes glazed with lust. Link dropped his head to Void's neck sucked hard on the flesh, flicking his tongue across it and biting it. Void moaned loudly at the feel of Link sinking his teeth into Void's neck and sucking hard before he ran his tongue across it, lapping at the purpling flesh.
With a heated moan, Void began moving and thrusting against Link. Link ground his again Void's. Panting heavily, he pressed his forehead against Void's shoulder and clenched his fists. Link stopped his actions and pulled back. Void glared up at him, sweat beading across his pale forehead. With a swift kiss to the tip of Void's nose, Link sat back and pulled off his shirt. The traditional Ordon garb was hard to wriggle out of and he threw it off to the side, sighing in frustration when he managed to discard his pants.
Void propped himself up on his elbow and let out a bemused chuckle at watching Link struggle out of his clothing. He sat up and grabbed Link, pulling him back down to kiss him heatedly. The heat pooled in his groin and Void moaned into the kiss. He pulled back too soon for Link's liking and easily shrugged out of the traditional outfit, his lust filled eyes, bemused at Link's accusing gaze.
Void discarded his clothes, casting it across the room. He heard the sharp inhale from Link and flushed, looking away. His arousal stood pale and proud, but he felt the frustration burn under his skin as Link inspected him. Suddenly, Void was pushed down on his back, Link assaulting his lips.
"You're beautiful," Link breathed seductively in his ear. Void froze at this, tensing at the words. He'd never been in a proper relationship before, in all his years, and never once had he been referred to as beautiful.
"Ahhh…!" Void moaned loudly as Link lowered his head to Void's nipple and took it between his lips, rolling his tongue across the pink nub. Void moaned helpless, arching against Link. Link chuckled darkly to himself as he moved to the other, neglected, nipple and closed his lips around it, rolling the abandoned nipple between his thumb and finger.
Link abandoned him ministrations to move downwards, kissing Void's toned stomach. He dipped his tongue into Void's navel, causing the Shadow to arch, his arousal throbbing painfully. Finally, Link reached his goal. He drew back to look at Void's member before he descended on it like a predator after its prey.
Link lightly kissed the head of Void's erection, making him moan loudly and arch his back. Link flicked his tongue across the weeping head of his lover's erection before taking it into his mouth.
Void moaned at the heat and wetness around his arousal. He thrust sharply, forcing himself into the back of Link's throat. Chuckling in the back of his throat, Link sucked the head of Void's member, alternating between bobbing his head and drawing his tongue across the sensitive skin of the underside.
Void was close, Link could tell from his sudden thrusting and the short, gasping moans that escaped him. Link pulled back before Void could climax. With a guttural snarl, Void raised his head to glare mutinously at Link. Link looked affectionately at Void and swooped down to kiss him passionately on the lips before he retreated and stood up, walking away. He crouched beside his carefully organized equipment from his adventuring and stood up again. Returning to Void, Link knelt down beside him. He uncorked a bottle of strong smelling oil and dipped two fingers into it.
Link trailed his fingers lightly across Void's abdomen and down between his legs. He pressed a finger against the tight ring of muscles and glanced at Void's face, his blue eyes smoldering. The Shadow nodded curtly in confirmation and Link pushed a finger in. Void seized up immediately, his body going ridged. The finger felt foreign and burned as the muscles were stretched. Link waited for Void to adjust, but his body remained tense.
"Relax," Link breathed, drawing his tongue across Void's ear. He kissed the other briefly while he started thrusting the digit in and out. Void tried to force his body to relax; he'd never been on the bottom before, always being the one in control.
Link pushed a second finger in, listening to the hiss of pain from Void. Link leaned over and pressed his lip's firmly to Void's, sliding his tongue into the other's mouth to distract him while he push a third finger in and began scissoring them, stretching Void's entrance. As he thrust his fingers in and out, Void felt the fingers brush against something deep within him and he moaned loudly. Link broke the kiss before he pulled the fingers out, a sharp gasp escaped Void.
Link reached for the strong smelling oil and poured it into the palm of his hand and spread it across his throbbing member. He placed his hands on Void's hips, angling them and pressed the head of his slick member against Void's entrance. Thrusting sharply, he didn't give Void any time to adjust, hearing him cry sharply out, his teeth bared against the pain.
Void's eyes were closed tightly, the pain burned ferociously. Link kissed him deeply again before he pulled back and began thrusting in and out. Void raised his hips and moved them against Link's thrusting in time with his lover. Link panted picking up the pace without having to be told. He angled himself, searching for the spot he'd found before and then he struck it. Void threw back his head, moaning loudly. Link aimed to strike it again and again as he thrust in and out.
Void clutched at Link's back, digging his nails into the toned muscles. The two of them gasped and panted as they grew closer. Void's member throbbed painfully and Link dropped his hand, stoking it in time with his thrusts.
"Link!" Void cried out, throwing his head back as he came hard in Link's hand. Void's walls tightened around Link's throbbing arousal and he thrust hard. With hot pleasure crashed over Link as he came hard in Void.
"Void!" he gasped, his head dropping to his lover's shoulder as he was milked dry. Panting heavily, he pulled out of Void to drop down beside him and lay silently, his eyes closed.
Void and Link lay beside each other before Link rolled closer to Void and kissed his slowly on the lips. Link drew back to pull Void close and to pull the blankets about them. Link was the first to drop into a deep sleep while Void lay silently, mulling over how much things had changed.
The unease of before rolled over him, he heard the distant rumble of thunder and closed his eyes. He kept his head against Link's shoulder and felt the warmth of Link's body and the fire as it died down to embers. Sleep finally took him as rain pelted down on the roof.
Void woke suddenly. Heat burned across his skin and eyes as they flew open. He froze at the sight before him. Coughing and choking against the smoke, Void rolled over, shaking Link sharply.
"Link, Link, wake up!" He cried, shaking the other. Link's eyes flew open and he sat up.
"Get up!" Void cried, scrambling to his feet. Fire burned around them, the storm thundered over head.
