Hello! Welcome to my story people. Just thought I would finally upload this one. Been tweaking things about it for months now. Hope you all are as pleased with it as I am. I actually changed this one to what it is now after I read a similar story elsewhere on the internet. Though that one was aggressive and possessive, but I won't get into it.

For those that understand what this is truly about, bravo. The rest of you should spend more time on the internet.

Enjoy!

I hear the whispers around me as I sit alone at the usual table. The cafeteria is bustling and happy with conversation, but I can still make out the nasty words. They all wonder why the guy I have as my boyfriend picked me. And how to put an end to it. I don't blame them. I would hate to see the school idol with someone like me if I was anyone but myself. As it is, I only feel pity. Pity for myself because he is going to find someday that he wants someone else and I won't even try to stop it.

"Hello, love." I blush as Link presses a kiss to my cheek, my fears pushed aside for the time he is by me.

People turn away as he sits down and I cuddle into his side. "Hey."

"Want to go sit by the lake and try skipping rocks again?" He wiggles his eyebrows at me playfully.

No doubt Link is remembering how well I can do the activity in question. "I just don't understand how I can't and you can."

I groan. "It's so simple."

"Did you just call me simple?" A giggle leaves me at his faked puppy eyes.

"I wouldn't love you any other way."

Link makes a big show of throwing his arms around my neck and attacking my face with sloppy kisses. "Sheiky looooves me!"

"Alright, alright!" I swat at his hands that are trying to inch into my shirt to tickle my sides. "I love you."

"That's good, cause I don't plan on letting you go. You better get used to loving me." A joyous smile lights up his face and I falter. How can such an amazing guy have picked me?

"So, I'll get you from your last hour and we can head there as soon as school lets out." I put on a happy front, and I am really, but my anxiety is trying to creep in.

"What if they're right, Mid? What do I do?"

My best friend sighed and turned from her painting. "You've been dating Link for three months, Sheik. Why you're worried that he will break up with you is beyond me. He seems perfectly happy having you by his side."

"But the girls say-"

"Fuck what the girls say. Sure, you haven't had sex yet. What is wrong with that?"

I want to tell her everything is wrong. Me, how I feel, how I push him away any time things turn too intimate. If Link knew... Instead, I feign exasperation. "Link sleeps with people within the first week is the problem."

"You want a reason for that, seriously?" I nodded and Midna smirked, though it was softer than her usual. "He genuinely cares about you."

I blushed. "You really think so?"

"Of course. If you're really unsure, then ask him."

"I could never. That's too embarrassing."

"Then tempt him."

"I-" My stomach did a flip... there was no way that could work... and I cut my thoughts off before whispering, "How?"

There was no turning back time and not saying that one word as Midna sent me a predatory grin. "You'll see."

"What do you mean you're stealing Sheik? I thought we had plans..." I bit my lip as Link pouted.

"Just that. We have some important business to take care of."

"Could I come along?"

"No. Girls only."

"But Sheik isn't-"

Midna cut him off and I was terrified. "He is today because I say he is!"

Gods, if only he knew.

"That's-"

"Zip it, wolfie. I promise it will be worth it. Besides, Sheik will be back with you within a couple hours, 'kay."

"Fine." My chest got warm as Link lunged forward to hug me. "I love you, Sheik."

"I-I... love you, Link." I was about to ruin all this.

White-wash, hole-filled jeans that are showing off the skin of my legs enough to make me self-conscious. Loose, naval-showing shirt that keeps falling off my shoulders. Damn it, again. My long hair is down, my bangs styled to frame my face. Pierced naval showing, Impa would be happy it's revealed but Link has no idea I even have that done, and- Oh gods, I'm scared! What if he rejects me? Because I know Midna is only trying to help, I settle for an agitated, "I feel ridiculous."

"You look ready to be smashed."

"Midna, I-"

"Don't worry, Sheik. He's going to adore you." She squashed my fears with a single look. "I promise."

"I-If you say so."

"Just tell him everything, my dear. Link will understand." She couldn't mean everything? Right... "Everything, Sheik."

"I-I-"

"Trust me, lovely. All will be well." Midna ushered me to the door and smiled when I looked over my shoulder at her. "Now, he's waiting outside, quite patiently might I add. Best to get your butt down there."

"Wha-" I rush to the stairs and began taking them two at a time. "Since when?!"

"I texted him when we got here." She's examining her nails while leaning on the railing, but that impish smirk peeks past the disinterested mask. "Go get him."

I finally make it to the door and fling it open. Link is rubbing his hands on his jeans and glancing around, but when the door shuts with a soft creak, his eyes snap to me. A wide grin spreads across his face. Midna's words ring through my head. 'Tell him everything.' I think I will. He deserves to leave me before we get too attached. Though, I know I already am too far gone.

"Well, don't you look cute." He tilts his head just so and- Fuck, I feel his eyes devouring the exposed contours of my body. I'm unable to move. I think he knows, because Link walks over to lift me easily from the porch. "Are you trying to tease me, cause it's working."

That deep, rumbling laugh of his has me burying my face in his chest. Gods, I'm going to miss this.

"Can we talk, Link?" There is a quiver to my voice and I pray to the Three he hasn't heard it.

"Sure." His eyes are less bright when he pulls away. "To Lake Hylia then?"

I nod.

The soft lake waves hit the shore and the breeze pulls the smell of a nearby diner across the way to the island. Maybe we can have something to eat afterwards. That is, if Link wants to still be with me. Who am I kidding... He'll probably leave me stranded here.

"Come sit with me, Sheiky." I turn from gazing out across the water to Link sitting against the island's lone tree.

The slight wind tosses my hair forward and I thank the three golden goddesses because it hides the tears in my eyes. Link looks expectant and I'm craving closeness before the fall. So, I do something far outside my comfort level.

"Sh-Sheik!" My face is nuzzled into my boyfriend's chest, my hands shaking against his stomach with fistfuls of his shirt in them, and my legs are on either side of his.

I know I'm letting him in on the fact that I'm crying, but I can't stop myself. A moan, one of emotional pain, leaves me as Link's hands press into my back. Slowly, one comes around to take my face in its hold. "Look at me, love." I do.

Link's serious look takes my breath away. It's the same one he makes when he will stop at nothing to figure something out. "Why are you crying?"

And it pisses me off because he has no idea. No idea! What I am going through! "Because I want to." Shivering with extreme emotions, that of which I don't even know myself, I shift to hide behind my hair.

"Are you breaking up with me, Sheik?" My eyes widen. When they meet Link's, there are tears gathering in his slowly darkening gaze. "Because no one other than us has that right. Don't you dare let what those fuckers say affect you."

I've only heard Link curse a handful of times and it is always when he is overcome with anger. To think I had pushed him so far. "And why not. I'm... There was no way this would have worked."

"Why?! Because you're a guy!"

I flinch, sudden rage bursting forth. "You don't understand anything!"

"Then make me understand! Tell me why you push me away! Why you flinch when I touch you. Explain to me so I can understand!"

"You'll hate me." My voice is so small, I barely hear it.

A crushing embrace and I'm crying harder than every before. "Cry it out, Sheik. I'll be here when you are ready to talk."

And Link holds me until I calm down, the violent seizing of my body from all my turbulent emotions sapping my strength. We are back in the same position as when this started when I look up to see red-rimmed eyes. "Better?"

I can only nod.

We sit in silence for a time, the sun beginning to fall from the sky when I finally have my thoughts in order. "I'm not normal, Link."

"Who is?"

"No- I-" I breath in and out, measured and even. "My body isn't normal."

"What do you mean?"

Words are falling me.

Resolve.

A hand taken in mine.

Heart pounding, I unbutton my jeans with one hand and guide Link's hand, in and down, pass what he may have thought, but not as far as would be normal if I was truly male. There I leave it, pulling my hand away. His fingers brushing against somewhere I haven't even touched, Link looks pensive. I can only look away.

"Sheik, I..." A whimper leaves me when he presses further. I allow it because I know he is just trying to see if his thoughts are correct. Carefully, that hand is removed and I prepare to be rejected harshly. "You're shaking."

Once more, those arms wrap around me. "If you think this will change anything, then you are wrong. I love you, Sheik."

Surprised, I catch those orbs with my own. "Link?"

He's smiling. "This is where you tell me you love me."

Tears, happy this time, cloud my sight and I'm clinging desperately to him. "I love you so much, please don't let me go."

"I won't."

It's morning when I wake up, an unclothed body shifting next to my own naked form. With a yelp, I shove my boyfriend from his own bed. Old habits die hard, they say.

Link is rubbing his shoulder and gazing around sleepily when I make it over to the side of the bed. "What the hell?"

A second later he turns, and what does he find, but a startled red-faced Sheikah. "I am so sorry, Link!"

I try to help him get up from the floor, but he bats me away. "Guess that's one way to wake me up. Though I had been hoping for something a little different."

Lips attach themselves to my neck as Link climbs over me on the bed. He's situating himself above me, mouth sucking at the skin of my neck, when I feel fingers play across my hip. They are obviously lustful as the digits began tracing their way to the inside of my thighs. "Link?!"

Not phased at all, showing how much of a gods-damned virgin I am, Link lifts his head up and regards me with a faked bored expression. I can see he is fighting a smile. "What? Can I not indulge so early in the morning. Not like I didn't explore every inch with my fingers, mouth, and tongue last night."

Fuck me, that wolfish grin he now sports. "Th-That-"

He seems to abandon my neck for my torso. "You know, I never did ask when you got this done." That dexterous tongue laps at the skin around my belly piercing.

"M-My aunt thought I should get both Sheikah rites of-f age when I went through puberty. The- The pierced ears are for m-males, to signify they are able to take part in m-meetings of importance, and the belly rings are fo-or women, to let people know they are able to b-bear children." He had slowly made his way up my body to lap at the buds on my chest, then suck at my earlobe, the small blue ring between his teeth. "F-Fuck, Link! Stop doing that!"

"Why? You like it." I couldn't deny that. "You know, you're much more open with me now. I like it."

"What?" He shifted up and entangled his legs with mine as his hands came around my back to rest at my shoulder blades.

"Before, you wouldn't cuss around me and this," He gestured to our intertwined bodies. "Would have never happened."

"W-Well, I'm more comfortable now that you know." We shared a soft kiss that had me melting.

"So, not to make you uncomfortable or anything, but... Can you...?" I knew what he said even though he couldn't quite get the words out.

Face heating up, I buried it in Link's chest. "The doctors say I can, so I guess... so..."

Fingertips at my chin had me lifting my head.

"Would you want to have a family with me, Sheik?" That sparkle in Link's eyes had my breath leaving me. "Because now that I know, I can't stop thinking about how cute you would be."

I nodded, sealing my fate. And I wouldn't change it for the world.

I give myself cuteness overload with this one. It makes me so happy!

Review. I guess. I like reviews. Let's me know you guys are still reading and enjoying it.

Love and people are amazing, (Seriously, the world has come a long way and it is beautiful that those who are vastly different are starting to be excepted.)
