Warning: This chapter is still making me laugh.
(Thanks for the idea for this goes out to Imagination that! It may be a bit different than you wanted.)
Enjoy!
I growled as I delivered a swift kick to one of the guys' jaws. It was almost comical how wide his eyes got at the height I could kick. Perhaps they are rethinking messing with the gymnastic kid's friend.
"Did you see that?!" My ears twitched as a group to my left muttered amongst themselves. "That's the sexiest thing I have ever seen! It was vertical to his body!"
I rolled my eyes and left them alone. At least, I knew they wouldn't go after Link anymore.
"How did he get through?! Hold him o-"
The golden-haired girl talking into her cellphone jumped as I entered the room, a smirk on my face. "Hi, Zelda. Fancy meeting you here."
"You- How-"
"It wasn't the best idea pissing me off, you know. I have several awards from various sports under my belt. Gymnastics, karate, boxing. You name it. I have it." My eyes narrowed and I could see the shiver run through her body. "Now, give him back."
"I don't know who you're talking about." She shook her head and held her ground, arms crossed.
"Don't fuck with me. Let Link go." My fist hit the wall next to the door and the wood paneling splintered. "I'm not in the mood to deal with you."
No, Link was getting the rupees beat out of him for not listening to me. Go with Zelda to the abandoned part of the school? Sure, he said. She means no harm, he said. I tried to tell that stubborn, self-righteous bastard. But does he hear anything that comes out of my mouth? No. Ugh! He's not even worth the trouble he gets into!
"He won't say anything." My eyes snapped to Ruto as she came into view. So, they were keeping him in the back room. Clever. Lot of doors between me and him. I should have known.
The Zoran girl squeaked as I shoved past her. "No! Sheik, stop! He needs to admit that he loves me!"
"He loves me, Ruto." I ignored the two as they began bickering.
A bigger male stepped in front of me as I walked through the threshold. "Hey, you aren't allo-"
I grabbed the shirt of the big oaf and easily flipped him over my shoulder into the other room. It appeared as though he was the only person in here, so I locked the door and broke the knob off, tossing it over to the golden-haired guy tied up next to the far wall.
He glanced up as I made it to him and cocked my hip to the side, a hand placed delicately on it. "Ah, Sheik. I knew you'd come for- Easy there! That's my- Ow!"
Link hissed as my heel twisted into his ankle. "What were you thinking, Linky dearest?"
He opened his mouth to respond, but I beat him to it. "You weren't thinking, that's what! I told you that she planned to make you half the school's love slave! But do you ever listen to me! No! I could tell you to breath and you'd stop just because I said to! I fucking hate you, you selfish arse-hole!"
"Then why are you here?" His lips pulled up in a wide smile.
I didn't pout. That was something I did NOT do and if Link ever told anyone that I did, he would be decked in the face. "Because no one tells you what to do but me. Now get up. I know the ropes are already cut."
To prove my point, I leaned down and lifted Link's arm, the binds falling away. "Aww. Come on, Sheik. At least carry me out like a brave knig- Oof! That hurt!"
He rubbed his abused sternum, my foot going back to its place on the floor, and I snorted. "Get over it."
Link's eyes watered as he pouted up at me. Because Link does pout. I don't. "But it hurt!"
"What do you want me to do? Kiss it and make it better?" The idea was so childish, but child-like things fit any situation with Link. Like the time he sat with his little sister, Aryll, and played dolls for hours. I guess that was kinda cute.
"Yes, please." I said it in jest, but Link would take me seriously.
So, I crossed my arms and clicked my tongue. "Take off your shirt then."
"You mean you will?" I looked down at him with a do-you-dare-question-me glare. "Okay, I'm going."
I dropped down to sit in his lap as his green shirt hit the floor causing Link to draw in a sharp breath. "What should your punishment be for disobeying me, Linky dearest?"
Picking up on the nickname I only used when hell was breaking loose, Link chuckled dryly. "K-Kiss my sore chest?"
"You mean... like this." I smirked against his skin as my best friend gasped at the feel of my lips on his lower abs.
"Oh gods. Y-Yes." A purr vibrated my throat as I ran my open mouth along velvet skin up to the forming bruise, fingers mapping out toned muscle.
It was a short shift over to suck lightly at a pink bud. "Does this feel good?" His answer was to moan.
One of my hands continued to massage as the other wandered down to the hardening length. The outcome I desired, and achieved, was for Link to throw his head back and give me enough room to nuzzled into his neck. "Like that, do you?"
My friend couldn't see the snarl twisting my mouth as I slowly worked my magic on him. I'd say who knew Link was this easy, but I already did. Not from personal experience, but from the amount of people I have had to kick out of my dorm room.
"Bastard." There was no time for Link's body to calm down at the spite in my voice, so when I bit his neck hard, the blood had a fun time deciding what was more important.
"Ah... Not fair, Sheik." I wiped my mouth as I got up, glaring at him all the while.
"That's what you get. Now, get up. I have a list of things I need from the store and my faithful little bitch is going to go get them for me." Link's eyes sparkled, a tool he uses to get what he wants or get out of trouble with me, but it wouldn't work this time. He must have seen my eyes harden, because he stopped and sighed.
"Can I at least recover? Or maybe you could get me off real quick?" I rolled my eyes as he started to whine. "I bet I'd be able to faster if you moaned for me."
"The store is having a sale that ends in ten minutes. I expect to have my egg rolls and grilled octo plus change." I made to leave him, spinning around with incredible grace.
"Wait, Sheiky!" I breathed in deeply to stop myself from choking him before looking over my shoulder, only to find Link standing right behind me.
Nerves permanently fried, but hidden well, I spoke. "I'm waiting."
"Yeah, you are. Listen... umm. Could we... I don't know... Maybe..." He was staling. But why?
My patience was waning. "Just spit it out already."
"I want to have sex with you." Link didn't see my blood red face as I sprinted to the nearest window and jumped through. "Sheik!"
He could find his own way out through the mess of love-sick fools.
Link sat in the old storeroom stunned. Had Sheik really just run from him? Perhaps asking to have sex with him was spontaneous and unwanted, but did he really have to act like that.
The golden-haired man ran his hand through his hair. It was hard to love your best friend and know they don't feel the same way. Hell, who knew better than Link. He had been going in circles with Sheik since they were barely old enough to understand what a kiss was.
The door burst open, but Link was still staring out the window.
"Link!" He side-stepped Zelda's lunge and ducked under Ruto's arms. They both caught his defeated expression and shared a look. Why was the happiest guy they knew suddenly moping?
I guess this was a waste of time. Tears caught in Link's eyes as he made his way through the various doors. Nothing is going to make him want me too. Yeah, that's right. Link got caught by Zelda on purpose, hoping against all odds that Sheik would confess his love after fending off the people wanting to get in the teen's pants.
"Do you think any of us have a chance?"
"Probably not with a beauty like that."
"I don't think I've ever seen someone so stunning."
"Oh, hey, Link!" A group of guys ran up to the distraught man. "Do you think you could give us Sheik's number?"
That got his attention. The brunette that asked, Link thought his name was Niko or something like that, was completely taken by surprise as Link shoved him against the wall. "Why would you want that?"
The rest of the group backed up, suddenly afraid of the calmest guy they know. Niko breathed in deeply and licked his lips. "I just thought m-maybe I could get to know him. H-He seems like a nice guy."
Link shook him slightly, lifting the smaller male up to stare into his eyes. The younger paled at the rage directed at him. "You were talking about him, weren't you? The beauty you spoke of, right?"
"W-Well, yeah. He-" Niko yelped as Link dropped him.
Fierce blue eyes scanned the group, making sure to keep eye contract long enough to instill fear. "Sheik is mine and none of you are to even think about him in any way more than platonic. Got it?" He snarled the question and they all nodded vigorously.
"Good." He gave them all one last glare and hurried down the hallway. Now to find Sheik.
I winced as another piece of glass was pulled from my arm. "Jumping from a two story window was not your best idea."
Dark's disappointed gaze met mine as he looked up for a second. "I know."
Good thing it was Dark working the health center right now and not Ms. Fay herself. I shivered as I thought of what she would have done to me. A certain incident came to mind. I will forever be scared of cotton balls.
My friend sighed. "Why can't you just be honest with him?"
"I don't know." Metal tinged as the tweezers were set down on the, now bloody, tray.
"You tell me how wonderful he is all the time. How is telling me any different from telling him? I mean, I look just like him." It was true. Dark would be Link if my best friend had a Gerudo tan and blood red eyes.
"When I try, my throat feels like it is closing off. And then I spout out the first insult I can think of when my lips finally move." My head fell down into my hands as I sighed. "I'm an idiot, Dark."
"No, you're just in love with an idiot." I actually snorted at that. Link was, indeed, an idiot.
"I actually touched him today and it was amazing, but all I could think was how worried I had been and that only made me mad at him for making me feel like that. And then he asked me if I wanted to sleep with him. As in, sex. Sex! Me! With Link! I couldn't think straight and-"
"That's why you jumped." Dark shook his head good-naturedly as he wiped my arm clean and bandaged it.
Perhaps, I was the idiot. "Yeah."
I watched, mesmerized, as Dark lathered his hands with soap. "I bet he is looking for you right now."
That made me think of Link frantically searching for me. Payback. "Probably."
"You better go find your puppy." Great. Now I was getting the make-things-right look.
So, I sent a please-don't-make-me pout, even though I don't pout ever, back at him. "I guess."
Dark rolled his eyes and I gulped. I was not getting out of the whole getting out of here thing. "You're worried about telling him why it was necessary to jump out a window."
Maybe if I was as stubborn with Dark as I was with his brother, but then where would that leave me. Friend-less probably. And I sort of liked the snarky prick's presence. "Yeah."
The door clicked open and a Zoran boy walked in. My black-haired friend smirked. "Well, it seems I have another patient, so I'm kicking you out."
Dark shooed me off the stool and I whined. "Please don't."
He gave me a shove and I latched onto the doorway, causing my friend to laugh. "You're my friend, Sheik, and I love you to pieces but sometimes you can be a pain." I kept grabbing at his shirt as Dark peeled me off the door frame and then off himself.
"I won't be in the way, I swear." Dark chuckled, finally getting me out the door.
"If we were any closer, I'd have to get you surgically removed. Now get out." And then he closed the door in my face.
Curses.
"Hey Sheiky weiky." I cringed as Midna tossed her arm over my shoulder. "Your puppy is looking for you."
I groaned and rubbed at my face. "I know."
"He's over by the art building right now." She smirked down at me and I made a mental note to avoid the art building as I went back to the dorm room. He would check there last because he would think I wouldn't go there because I thought he would check it first.
"Thanks, Mid. I'll go catch him right now." I get an eye roll as I hurry down the hall.
"Okay. Bye!"
Dark lifts his head as Link storms into the health center. He finishes cleaning the vomit in the sink from the Zoran boy and turns to his moron of a brother. "Hello. Can I help you?"
"Where's Sheik?" Link's head falls into his hands as he sits down and his leg starts bouncing from nerves.
Dark shrugged and hangs up the hand towel he dried his hands with. "Hell if I know."
"He had to have come in here, Dark. He must have been covered in-" Link gasped and then Dark is staring into deep blue. "He was hurt, Dark! Shit! I-"
As fun as it is to mess with his brother, Link can be a handful when worrying over Sheik. "Calm down. He was just a little bruised and I had to pull glass from his arms."
"You had to-" Link gasped and bit his lip. "Aw, fuck! He is going to kill me!"
"Sit down." Dark grinned as Link hurried back over and sat down. Sheik had him trained pretty well. "He probably went back to the dorms to rest. Go check there."
Link nodded. "Yeah. O-Okay."
My tea was turning a wonderful shade of brown when I heard keys jingle and the door shut.
"Sheik?" Link's head popped around the corner and he smiled softly at me. "Hey. Are you okay?"
I shrugged and poured a little sugar into my cup. A bag was set on the counter next to me and I spared a glance at it. My eyes widened and I turned my head back to find Link right behind me. He was grinning wide and I nervously focused my attention on my tea. "I got the egg rolls and grilled octo."
"Thank you." My body tensed as arms wrapped around my waist.
"I want to apologize for earlier, Sheik. I was out of line. Will you forgive me?" His breath landed on the back of my ear and I had to fight back a shiver.
I could feel my heart rate pick up. "I s-suppose."
Link chuckled and nuzzled into my hair. "That makes me happy."
"Get off me, Link." I wiggled, but he didn't budge. "I was making tea."
My cup was lifted from the counter and I could hear Link sip it before setting it back down. "I can taste that."
"Moron." He laughed and the sound was nice.
"But I'm your moron." I couldn't stop the shiver from his husky tone. "Aren't I."
My insides felt like they were on fire and swallowing didn't help. "I told you to get off."
"Mmm. Why don't you help me get off." He brought my hand up to his mouth and sucked on my middle finger. I would have punched him if I didn't feel like my body was buzzing from excitement.
"Stop being a dumb arse, Link." I tried to calm the butterflies in my stomach with a few even breaths after I pulled my hand away from him.
I yelped as he turned me around and then I was sitting on the counter. "Be truthful with me, Sheik. Do you like it when I touch you?" His deep as Lake Hylia eyes held my gaze and I'd be damned if I was the one to look away.
He flinched as my eyes narrowed into a glare. "Go fuck yourself."
"Ouch. That's mean, Sheiky." My best friend pouted. "Why are you refusing to answer my question? Afraid to admit you, the almighty Sheik, can feel something as human as lust."
"I'm not a god, so of course I feel human emotions." I crossed my arms, but still kept eye contact.
"Then answer my question." His next words made me gasp. "Do you love me, Sheik?"
My hand came up on automatic to slap him and then I was rushing to the bathroom. An arm blocked the doorway and Link's blue orbs caught my red once more. "Dammit, Sheik! Just answer me!"
I backed up, hands coming up to cover my mouth as I whispered one word. "No."
My heart couldn't take anymore and I bolted from the dorm room.
Link ran a hand through his hair and cursed under his breath. He had drove Sheik away again. Why did it keep happening? Was Sheik trying to avoid telling him he felt the same or did it disgust him that his best friend wanted such things from him?
He had said no. Does that mean he doesn't love me? But his eyes said he was scared. The golden-haired man sunk to the ground against the wall and pinched the bridge of his nose. Why was Sheik so confusing? All the signs seemed to be there. He actually showed he was nervous or maybe he couldn't keep it in anymore.
Link's eyes lit up with determination. He had to find out.
I stumbled out the dorm doors and over into the grass, dry-heaving harshly from nerves. My arms shook as I wrapped them around myself. Why was I so gods dammed stupid? Even when Link was asking straight out, I couldn't tell him I was in love with him. But I needed to.
With as much courage as I could muster, I went back inside. I stopped to breath deeply at the end of the hall. As I made my way to the door it opened and out stepped Link. He sighed and turned in my direction.
My heart beat against my rib cage harshly as I grabbed his hand and dragged him into the room. Link shut the door as we stepped inside and I started pacing. I rubbed my jaw and gulped, mentally preparing myself for what I was about to do.
Link was picking at his nails when I finally calmed down enough, but his attention was solely on me when he realized I was about to speak.
"I..." Those crystals were melting me and I brought a hand up to wipe away the tears collecting in my eyes.
"I l-love yo-ou, Li-ink. Pl-Please, do-don-n't hate m-m-me." A sob shook me as my vision clouded. My confession unleashed all the emotions I had bottled for so long and I knew I would fall apart if Link didn't want to be around me anymore.
Strong arms pulled me into a warm embrace and Link shushed me, gently running his fingers through my hair. "Calm down. I don't hate you."
A hiccup escaped me as I looked up at my best friend. "Y-You don't?"
He leaned down to kiss my forehead. "No. In fact, I feel the opposite. I love you."
My mouth stretched into a wide grin and I jumped up to wrap my arms around Link's neck, quickly pulling him down into a kiss. I giggled against his mouth and then moaned as Link pulled me in closer, his tongue running along my front teeth.
I pulled back enough to speak. "I'm sorry for lying to you, Link."
Link kissed my lips lightly before speaking. "I'm sorry for pushing you too far."
"No." His eyes widened, but I could only smile. "Just enough."
Bonus:
I had a feeling my eyes were sparkling as I checked the deals of the nearest supermarket. "This store is having a sale on deku nuts. I want three cans of them now."
A bag was set down in front of me and a kiss was pressed to my cheek. "Here you go."
Inside the bag was five cans of what I wanted. "H-How?"
"I got up early and went to get milk since we ran out because of someone's strawberry addiction." Those blue eyes shined and I was lost for a moment. "I know how much you love deku nuts, so I obviously couldn't pass up the chance to get some when they were on sale."
"Thanks, I guess." I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from... Gods forbid. Pouting.
Link's voice was a purr as he took my face into his hands. "Mmm. I love when you pout, Sheiky."
I pressed my hands against his face to keep him from kissing me senseless. "S-Shut up, you dumb bastard!"
A squeal escaped me when Link's tongue licked up one of my fingers and he laughed as I wiped my hand all over his shirt in disgust. "Yeah. That's the guy I love."
This was mainly so I could goof around with character building, but I actually loved writing it. It was a good idea to have fun with and I really love how is played out. Sheik's and Link's personalities could not have come out better for what I had envisioned when I first read Imagination that's idea. Thanks again for the idea, Imagination that!
Review. As always, I love getting those sweet reviews. Tell me what you thought of this chapter and perhaps leave an idea for these two cause I loved writing them so much.
Love and errands, (Link would go to a million places to make Sheik happy... or maybe to keep Sheik from thwacking him over the head. Hehe.)
~Annoying :)
