Woo! It is so good to be back!
Hi, Smileey! I missed you sooooo much! You seem to have a special place in my little authoress heart. Not sure why, since I only know you though your reviews. But hearing from you just fills me with rainbows! Perhaps it is because your name makes me think of that horror thing called Smiley... Or is it Smileey. Anyways. Hello!
This chapter is for... Smileey! I had no idea this chapter was for your review while I was typing the above-ness stuff. What a wonderful coincidence.
I've gone over it a couple times, but there could be things missing or wrong. Sorry.
Enjoy!
"Why?!" He turned to face me and I almost died right there from the lack of emotion in his eyes.
"I just don't love you anymore." My heart shattered.
"How… How could you?! I thought-"
"What does it matter what you thought." Tears streamed down my face.
"You… You selfish arse! I-I love you and this is what you do!" A migraine was beginning to form in the back of my skull. "How dare you do this to me!"
Link groaned, as if I was simply annoying. "Just leave it alone, Sheik. I don't love you and there is nothing you can do about it."
"What about all the times we made love?" A sob shook my body as I choked out those dreadful words. "Or… Or was that just entertainment for you? Was I just some whore to you?!"
I didn't dare look up at him, though. I knew I would only see that painful emptiness. "I'm sorry." Blood dripped from my palms as my nails dug into my skin.
"Please… Just tell me this." Our eyes locked and I thought I saw a glimmer of what we used to have. "Did you ever care for me?"
Link didn't hesitate as he broke my heart. As he shattered my soul. All with one word. "No."
And I fell to the floor in hysterics as he left me.
I shut my locker and turned to head down the hall, but there he was. I cursed. First day back in school after Christmas Break and he already shows back up in my life. Do I not get a break. Midna was wrong. She said I would be over him, but I'm far from it. My legs ache as I stand still and my heart thuds in my chest as our eyes stay locked.
"Sheik." He takes a step forward and I long to reach out to him. I can't lose my resolve. Fight it, Sheik. Fight the urge to crush your body against his.
"Sheik, dear. There you are." Gods, I've been saved.
I look up at the pale face of my 'boyfriend'. "Vaati?"
"I've been looking for you. We have first hour together." Link looks between us, but I try to ignore him.
Instead, I focus on the task at hand. Pretending to be happy.
I giggle as Vaati's arm wraps around my waist. "Missed you."
"I leave to get something from my locker and you miss me? Silly man." I gasp as he picks me up and spins us around. "Vaati!"
"What?" He sends me an innocent smile. "You were making a face. You know how I dislike when you make a face."
"You mean… Like this one." I wrinkle my nose and stick out my tongue.
Vaati grins and leans in to kiss my lips. "Mmm. So cute."
"And you love me." I feel a small triumph as Link sighs before walking away.
My 'boyfriend' sees Link leave as well and smirks. "That I do."
"Midna... Who is Sheik with?" I scowl at the affectionate display happening across the cafeteria. That guy nips at Sheik's ear and my long-time love giggles.
"Vaati." She shrugs and goes back to eating.
"Yeah, I got his name. Why is he with Sheik?" Midna looks at me and sighs at my, undoubtedly angry, expression.
"What does it matter to you, Link? You broke it off with Sheik. Why the hell do you care who he is sleeping with?" My eyes widen and I grab at Midna's arm.
"Sl-Sleeping with?" She scowls at me and shrugs me off.
"Yeah. They met in the common room of the boy's dorm after you left Sheik there. Vaati offered to comfort Sheik and things went from there. Apparently, Sheik was a mess in bed. All nerves and need. Vaati's words, not mine." Midna walked off then and I flopped back down in my chair. Sheik... My Sheik... Letting someone else make love to that beautiful body.
I glanced back across the room and glared at the purple-haired guy, Sheik in his lap. His hands were on my Sheik's hips, fingers trailing under the edge of my Sheik's pants. This was torture. I couldn't ask for him back. I had a deal to keep.
"The plan is going well." Midna sat on the couch in my room, hands behind her head.
"Yeah. How is he?" I looked down at my hands. We were trying to figure out why Link broke up with me.
Midna's lips stretched into her typical impish smile. "Ticked."
"And he should be. I don't care who you are, Sheik is to die for." Vaati winked at me and I blushed. It was kind of fun acting like this.
"He seems to really want you back, Sheik. I don't know why he broke off your relationship in the first place." We all were scratching our heads, meteorically speaking, over why Link left me.
"I have an idea." Vaati grinned.
"Vaati! We shouldn't do this here." My ears perked up at Sheik's voice.
"Oh, come now. You've been needing me all day and who is going to stop us." I blushed. Were they about to...
"Ah... Mmm..." And I was in full-blown rage. How dare that guy touch what is rightfully mine!
I rounded the corner, eyes searching. Then I saw them. Vaati had Sheik pinned near the equipment shed. His lips were at Sheik's neck, probably leaving marks. Their lower bodies were together, softly moving. My hands clenched into fists. I couldn't do it anymore. Let my punishment come! I couldn't stand by while the love of my life was with another.
Purple hair swished as its owner plummeted to the ground, my fist having just met his face. "What the hell?!"
I felt my insides roll at the sight of Sheik, panting and flushed. Marks covered his pale neck and his shirt was pushed halfway up his torso. My eyes drank in the sight. Instinct pushed me to throw him over my shoulder and I carried a whimpering Sheik all the way across school grounds to the dorms. People stared as I brought him through the common room and ascended the stairs. Soon, but not soon enough, I was tossing him down on my bed.
"Link?" I ran my fingers through my hair. Gods, what was I doing? I was about to break a deal with the devil herself. But looking at Sheik, sprawled out on my bed… I knew it would be worth it.
He gasped as I crawled up and onto the bed, situating myself over him. "Beautiful."
"W-What?" Sheik sported the biggest pair of eyes I had ever seen.
"You're beautiful. I was such a fool for leaving you, Sheik. Please forgive me." He nodded slowly and I claimed what had been mine... was mine... would always be mine.
Light snoring filled my room and I sighed happily. Sheik was in my bed. We had made love and he had clung to me afterward, crying himself to sleep. I hoped they were happy tears. It was like he was a virgin again. All nerves and need… I cursed myself for thinking of Vaati at a time like this. Had he really... had Sheik? I hoped not.
"Nhh." A thigh poked out from under my blankets and I smirked. That lovely skin.
A sharp gasp accompanied the body in my bed moving as I nibbled the pale expanse of flesh. Sheik had pulled his leg back under the covers. I chuckled. "You can't get away that easily."
"Ah! Link!" He yelped as my hands roamed under the blanket, over the skin underneath.
"Good to hear you say my name again." I smirked, Sheik's red gaze catching mine. "Even better to hear you moan my name. And the best when you scream my name."
I watched the blush win territory on his face until he was all red. "That- That's so naughty, Link."
Sheik whimpered as I joined him under the covers. "Mmm. Great to have you back, Sheik."
"Wait, Link. I... I have a boyfriend. And as much as I loved this, he is where my heart lies now. If he is willing to take me back after this." Sheik glanced away, a sorrowful expression on his face.
"Why tell him? If you don't, then you can continue to be with him." I traced the curve of his spine and smirked when Sheik shivered.
"I won't lie to him, Link. You can't continue a relationship if there are things you need to tell each other." Was it just me, or was Sheik giving me a look. The kind that told me he knew I had a secret. The very secret that pushed me to tear our love apart a month ago.
I sighed, but I needed to get it off my chest. "Listen, Sheik. I... There was a reason I left you."
"You didn't love me. I remember, Link." I looked to him and it broke my heart to see his eyes water.
"No. I never stopped loving you." I lightly touched his shoulder, but he pulled away. Sitting up and curling around himself.
Many emotions flashed in his eyes, but none stronger than anger. "Then what was all that! You don't just lie to someone like that, Link!"
"Just hear me out. Please." He crossed his arms and glared, but nodded for me to go on. "There was a group of girls that threatened to... to hurt you. I overheard them talking. They had planned to pay a couple of the upperclassmen to do it. I won't name names, but one realized I had listened in. I was scared that they would go through with it no matter what I did. So afraid you would get hurt because of me. She offered to leave you alone, but I had to..."
"Break up with me." I tried to gauge his reaction, but tears blinded me.
"Yes." Hands cupped my face and I could barely make out the red of Sheik's eyes.
"Why didn't you just tell me? We could have figured something out." Suddenly, I had my arms full of Sheikah. "I've spent two whole months thinking you didn't want me, Link. Gods, I thought you hated me. I thought you felt nothing and that our time together meant nothing."
And it was my turn to comfort Sheik. "Shh. I'm so sorry. Please, forgive me."
"Of, course." We clung to each other until a knock sounded on my door. My eyes hurt when I pulled away and I saw that Sheik's were bloodshot, guessing mine looked the same.
I left the bed and headed for the door. I wasn't even over there when Midna flung it open. Sheik squeaked, probably trying to hide his naked body. As if right on cue, Vaati waltzed in behind her.
"So, how are you two?" The purple-haired man wiggled his eyebrows and I heard Midna giggle.
"Sort everything out?" The imp girl smirked. "Only took you a couple months and an elaborate plan, but you got there. And by the smell of this room..."
"Wha- You-" I stumbled over my words as Vaati walked over to pat Sheik's head.
"Don't hurt yourself, pretty boy." He chuckled when my jaw visibly dropped. "It was fun, Sheik, but I have to leave you in this dork's capable hands."
They left after Midna pushed my mouth shut and I turned on Sheik like a viper. "What. Just. Happened."
"What all did you hear about Vaati and I?" He bit his lip and I had to push the idea of being the one to do that from my mind.
I needed to focus. No, not on Sheik's hips that the blanket had decided to cling to, revealing the beautiful curving... "Midna said you two hooked up after he comforted you the night we broke up."
"Not completely untrue, I suppose." Jealousy grew in the pit of my stomach like a weed, but worry overwhelmed it. "Vaati found me in the common room after you left. I was a mess. We sat together talking for a bit, then he talked me into going to his room with him and we ended up playing some weird game about green blobs... I don't know what it was, but it helped me calm down."
Sheik took in a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Midna somehow knew where to find me and later, with the help of Vaati, we devised a plan to get you to want me again. It wasn't until that first time in the hall that Midna thought you were hiding something. And you were." He smirked, an almost coy feel to it, before laughing lightly.
"Well, I'm glad you are so devious." I kissed below his ear and then whispered into it. "I love you."
Sheik hummed happily. "I love you, Link."
So, main reason this got wrote... The scene between Link and Midna where he asked who Vaati is. I just wanted Link to freak out over Sheik sleeping with someone else. It turned into what you see before you...
Review. I have over 40 stories in my fanfic docs. Hopefully your reviews will make me finish them. (Though the real issue is the fact that I can't seem to cut any of them off. So we end up with 2-4,000 word stories. Oh, well.)
(So, side note. Finally found the thing that tells me how many people follow and favorite me as an author. And it tells you how many times your profile has been viewed. Mine is over 1,700. I was awfully surprised. People are actually interested in me as a person... Weird.)
Love and it feels so good to be back to updating any time I want,
