Happy clearing-out-my-docs day! It is pretty much just that. I have a lot of stuff in my docs. I want it out of my docs, but not deleted. So a posting spree I go!
Enjoy!
I wiped down the nearest table. We had just closed for the night and I was exhausted. My ears perk at the sound of the door opening. I turn and see two men of relatively the same size.
"Sorry, but we are closed."
"It's okay, Sheik. They are here to speak with me." Nabooru walked out of the back room and greeted both men. I couldn't really make out what they were saying as she sat them at a booth. I did, however, notice several glances sent my way. I hate to be stared at. That's the reason I don't help out with customers. By the time I see them, when they stumble over to the counter for a meal, all the men that come into this place are wasted. Nabooru doesn't like anyone to leave here without being a little tipsy.
"Sheik! Come here!" I toss down the rag and head over to my over-the-top boss.
"Yes, Nabooru?" She motions for me to sit by her across from the two men. So I take a seat and try to not focus on the fact that both men have their eyes locked on me.
"This is Dark, a regular here, and his brother, Link." I nod and she goes on. "Link hasn't ever been here before, but he is a good friend of mine. I wanted to know if you would be his guide on his first night in the Gerudo Fortress."
She looked at me expectantly and I sighed. "Sure. I'm obviously a better choice then the girls around this place. Poor boy would be groped to death with his looks." I didn't even try to hide my blush at those stupid words. They just slipped out.
"Good. Tomorrow night it is." She leaned across the table and took, the one I hoped to be, Dark's hand. "Your brother is in the right hands."
Dark winked and brought Nabooru's hand to his lips. "As am I." I made a gagging noise and puking motion before slipping from the booth. Only to yelp when my boss grabbed my arse.
"Nabooru!"
She tsked. "Don't test me, Sheikah."
A laugh sounded and I turned on the blond brother. I hadn't really looked at either of them. Too nervous. But they were very similar. Muscled bodies, large shoulders, strong chins, sharp noses, and fierce eyes. The only differences being color. Dark was tan and Link was fair-skinned. Link had no piercings and Dark had quite a few. Dark had black hair and Link was, obviously, a blond. Dark's eyes were a deep red and Link's... Were so blue it felt like I was going to be pulled in. They reminded me of a clear night sky just after sunset. When the black of night hadn't yet taken over the blue of day. But maybe the lighting in here was bad. I know it is rather dark.
"Sorry. Your blush is just too cute." My eyes widened and I went to retrieve my bag by the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Nabooru. The tables aren't all clean, but you know how I am. Goodnight." And with that I walked out. Not quite sure how to deal with compliments.
I brushed my hair and threw it up in a sloppy bun, not really having time for anything else. Link was supposed to arrive any time. I slipped on my shoes and hurried out to the floor. Dark showed up not too long ago and Nabooru snatched him up for some 'quality time'. I shudder at the thought. Several of the girls watched me, the normally never dressed up cook, walk out in quite the outfit. Nabooru saw it fitting for me to look the part of the Gerudo without all the girl. If that makes sense.
So she stuck me in deep, navy blue tights that hug my every curve and a long, loose white shirt with slits up the sides. A black scarf and flats tied in with the black swirling lines Nabooru outlined my face with. It wasn't an outfit I detest, but it did reveal my body like I have never done before. My usual attire is a black tee under a dark red vest and darker jeans. I suppose that wouldn't work today.
I walked over to wait by the door. Can't have the girls all over Link just yet. I yelp and jump as arms wrap around my waist. "You look lovely today, Sheik." Why am I surprised?
"Hello, Link." I hear a chuckle. "Shall we begin your first night in the Fortress?"
"Sure." His breath caresses my ear and I shudder. This is going to be a rough night for me.
I take Link's arms and unwrap them from around me. He pouts, but I intertwine our fingers and move along, definitely noticing how he smiles at the gesture. The first place I take Link is the booths. We sit down at one and I call over Andria, the youngest of the waitresses but still older than me.
"What can I get for you?" She bends low, probably to show off her chest, and I watch as Link turns away, not missing the look of slight disgust on his face.
I grab Link's menu and pass it, along with mine, over to Andria. "A plate of Gerudo sweet rolls will be fine. Thank you." She gives me a sour look before walking away.
"Thanks." Link reaches shyly across the table and pats my hand.
"I can see that you don't do well with women. Care to explain?" I slid around the 'c' shaped booth and cuddle into Link's side, hoping he will tell me what is wrong. Wait... Why do I care?!
"I'm... I can't really be around women. They make me want to... vomit." I lean away and look at him. He has some kind of women anxiety perhaps? But then why would he need a male server to overcome it. Unless he didn't even want to try to be around women. But why would that be... Then something clicks.
"You're gay." Link's eyes widen and a blush rises to his cheeks.
"W-W-Well. Y-Yes. If you re-really need a word f-f-f-for it. I'm gay." I chuckle and kiss his cheek before sliding back to my spot. "Wha- What did you do that for?!"
"Maybe I like you." It wasn't a lie.
The look on Link's face and the redness I caused was hilarious. I hadn't realized how nervous he was yesterday. Or maybe it was different because he wasn't surrounded by women. "You're kidding, right?"
"Nope." I grinned when he avoided my gaze. How was I so confident now? I'm never like this. "I do like you."
He smiled and then our plate of sweet rolls was set down.
Way back when I was excited for this one, but I lost a lot of steam and it has been sitting in my docs for over a year. Sad right. I guess my idea was for Nabooru and Dark to set up Link and Sheik. Or something like this. I really don't know.
Review. Perhaps your review will be the one that helps me write on this one again! (If you guys even want me to.)
Love and until next time,
~Annoying :)
