“Your house is so… cool,” I said, searching for a word that would do this place justice. I didn’t quite make it. It was completely open with two lofts over the door. You had to climb a ladder to get to the first then another to get to the highest. I assumed his bed was on the highest, at least I couldn’t see one on the ground level or on the first loft.
“Thanks. I helped build it so I had some say in how it was designed,” Link replied looking around with an odd look.
“What are you thinking?” I asked.
“Oh, I just never thought I would see this place again,” he said with a smile. That smile made my stomach twist, it had sadness in it. He must have been really worried that he wasn’t ever going to make it home. I can’t ask him to stay and take him away from his home forever.
“Pete, what’s wrong?” link asked watching my face closely.
“Hey, that’s the first time you’ve called me Pete,” I said grinning.
“Thought I’d try it out,” he said with a shrug. I could tell he knew that I was trying to change the subject. I could also tell that he was going to let it slide.
“Yeah, we don’t really have pet names for each other do we…” I trailed off in thought.
“We could always try some out,” Link laughed. He put his hands on his hips and looked at the ceiling in thought for a time. Amused by our goal I thought as well.
“Sweetheart?” I threw out the first one that came to mind. We both cringed at the same time and, after seeing each other’s reactions, burst out in laughter.
“Maybe not,” Link got out in between chuckles.
“Yeah, we’ll keep looking,” I agreed.
“So… does this mean that we’re…dating?” Link asked slowly, unsure of himself. I realized that we never really made it official or anything. I had assumed that it would be clear when I told him he shouldn’t be hidden.
“Well yeah. I mean, if you want to…” I trailed off. I had never imagined that he wouldn’t think we were. If he didn’t want to actually date me then this would get very awkward.
“No I want to. I was just making sure. You know?” He said nervously scratching the back of his head. I couldn’t begin to figure out why he was acting so weird but… he is so cute when he’s nervous. That thought made me stop and marvel at the fact that I’m calling another guy ‘cute’, and for the second time today.
“Listen Link,” I said in a tone that made him look at me curiously. He didn’t seem to believe me last time, so I’ll have to make him believe. I walked over to him and quickly pulled him into a hug.
“I care about you. Do you think I would have…laid with you if I didn’t? And if you still don’t believe me…” I trailed off, lightly grabbing his chin. I looked into his eyes for a moment before pressing my lips to his. I pulled back and smirked at his expression. “Well I’ll just have to convince you.”
“I… care about you too,” he said softly into my neck, his warm breath giving me goose bumps. Something told me that wasn’t what he was going to say at first, but I didn’t care because I could hear in his voice that it was still true. As I stood there holding him a thought crossed my mind. This is his house; this is where he’ll probably come after leaving me. I need to make memories here with him so he’ll remember me when he comes in…
“Peter…” he trailed off.
“Hmm?” I said, still half in thought.
“I might still need some convincing,” he said, I could feel his smirk just under my ear before I felt him lightly lick my earlobe. I smiled as a shiver ran through me; this is just what I needed. I turned my head into his neck and grabbed his earlobe lightly with my teeth flicking my tongue against it, feeling his ever-present earrings on my lips. I pulled on it until it fell from my lips, then I remembered something. His ears were different; they were pointed and stuck out about an inch or two longer than… I don’t want to say ‘normal’ ears but…
“Link?” I asked.
“Yes?” he whispered. I smiled as I could tell that he couldn’t get his voice to work.
“Do many people have ears like yours here?”
“Not in this village but once we get to castle town there will be a lot,” he said, sounding confused as to why I would bring that up right now.
“Are they sensitive?” I asked.
“Um, I seem to hear more things than people without them…” he was still confused.
“That’s not what I meant,” I laughed lightly.
“What are you-” he started but gasped when I grabbed the tip of his ear with my teeth instead.
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes’,” I said and laughed when he nodded shakily. I continued to lick and nibble on his ear until I realized that I was supporting his weight.
“Uunnh, my bed is on the top floor,” he said breathlessly, as if he had been reading my mind.
“Can you make it up there? Or am I going to have to carry you?” I laughed. I was amazed at how sensitive he’s ears were, I wasn’t expecting this reaction. He stepped away from me and took a steadying breath.
“Huh, I knew they were sensitive but… not that much,” he muttered mostly to himself, grabbing his ear in his fingers.
“And now I can use that to my full advantage,” I said and gave him a wink. He seemed surprised by my sudden open flirting. We had never been very verbal with our flirting. He recovered and got a mischievous look in his eyes before grabbing my hand and pulling me over to the ladder. I paused at the bottom to watch him climb up, my eyes glued to his ass the whole way. A thought crept into my mind but I shoved it away as Link was already on the second ladder. Don’t want to keep him waiting.
I woke suddenly and shifted just enough to see through the window that it wasn’t even close to dawn. Link shifted in my arms as well and I heard him sigh. I froze, worried that I had woke him up but he was still in a deep sleep. I heard a creak that almost made me leap out of bed and investigate until I remembered that this isn’t a castle, it’s basically a tree house, and of course it’s going to creak. I heard another and realized that it must have been what woke me up. But when I heard the third one, and from a different area, I couldn’t help but roll on my back to see if I could at least get a look over the side of the loft.
As soon as I rolled over I figure appeared on the ladder. I was frozen to the spot, what could I do? I sword was somewhere… I think at the foot of the bed with all my clothes, not to mention Links clothes and weapons. The figure walked right over to me and knelt down next to the bed. However, their eyes must have adjusted to the limited light. I had just seen clearly that it was a girl about my age before she screamed.
“Who are you? Why are you in this house! It belongs to Link,” she said in a rush.
“Geez, calm down!” I said sitting up quickly. “Link is right here!” I pointed at him as he also shot up from all the noise. He quickly grabbed something off of the floor and suddenly we were all flooded with light.
“What the hell?” Link said tiredly, holding the lantern up high so he could see the intruder.
“Link?” she asked and blushed as she saw his shirtless form. She looked elsewhere, which happened to be at me, and blushed harder when she saw I was in the same state.
“Ilia? What are you doing here?” he asked.
“I was going to bathe in the spring and I saw that your door was open,” she explained, now looking at the wall.
“Sorry, it was probably me,” I laughed.
“Don’t worry about it. Ilia, this is Peter. Peter, Ilia,” he introduced.
“Nice to meet you,” I smiled and held out my hand for her to shake.
“You too…” she shook my hand and looked back and forth between us. I became increasingly aware that both Link and I were completely naked under the covers. Hopefully she would just think that we are shirtless…
“So-” Link started but it seemed Ilia couldn’t hold in her thoughts any longer.
“Why are you two in bed together?” she asked.
“To sleep,” Link said simply.
“Together?” she said, glancing at me.
“Do you see another bed?” Link asked. What was he doing? He can lie better than this, so why doesn’t he?
“Link?” I asked. I raised my eyebrows at him and he seemed to get what I was asking.
“We’re on my world now. I don’t have people who follow me. So there’s no need,” he explained.
“Wha-” I started, then it dawned on me. He was going to tell his village about us. “Link wait, I don’t think-”
“Peter and I are together Ilia,” Link stated, crossing his arms and watching her expression.
“Together? I don’t understand…” she really did look confused. Link could still pull this through- he wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled his face in my neck- well now he can’t.
“He’s my boyfriend,” Link said softly and turned my head so he could kiss me briefly. I felt a surge of emotion at the word ‘boyfriend’, I also felt… excited at kissing Link in front of this person, not hiding him, and showing her that he was mine. He pulled back from me and we both looked at Ilia to see her reaction. Her mouth was open in shock; it looked like someone had just slapped her. She stared at us for what felt like forever, until she seemed to finally snap herself out of the shock.
“That’s… you’re…” she couldn’t find the words. She finally stood up and hurried to the ladder and ran out of the house. We could hear her footsteps outside fade away.
“Link do you think that was a good idea?” I asked.
“I think so. Now, sleep,” he said and plopped back into the pillows. He tried to get comfortable but then opened one eye to look at me still sitting up. He put a hand on my shoulder and pulled me towards him.
“Come here,” he almost whined when I didn’t comply right away. I laughed and put my arms around him again; he put his face into my chest and sighed happily.
“Hello there,” a voice said causing us to jump a little. Link had challenged me to a duel this morning; we were just about to the point where he would start kicking my ass when we stopped to look at the newcomer.
“Rusl,” Link said happily.
“Forgive me, I shouldn’t have interrupted you duel,” he said to Link then looked at me.
“It’s ok. He was about to wipe the floor with me anyway,” I laughed.
“You don’t know that,” Link said.
“You have every time up until now, if I had won I would know you weren’t trying,” I shrugged.
“Good point. Well anyway this is Rusl. Rusl, this is Peter,” Link said.
“Hi Rusl,” I said and held out my hand for him to shake, getting a flashback of Ilia. I wonder if Link is going to do the same thing…
“Hello Peter. If I do say so… you’re not what I expected,” he said.
“Uh… What do you mean?” I asked. How could he already know me?
“Well… when I was told Link had a boyfriend, I was expecting someone more…feminine. If it was in fact true?” he looked at Link who nodded.
“Um… sir, if you don’t mind, who-” I started but Rusl cut me off.
“Ilia,” he said with a smile. “You had to know after the stunt you pulled, Link, she would tell the whole village.”
“Of course I knew. I know these people well enough to know that they should be given a heads up before we go in there,” Link explained.
“Ah I see. So the people that still want to see you can, while the others can stay clear?”
“Exactly,” Link smiled then looked at me and pointed towards the village. “Shall we?”
“If you’re sure,” I said and followed him through the gates.
“Of course I’m sure…sune,” he said softly.
“Huh? Sue nay? What’s that?” I asked and Link laughed.
“Sune. It’s Hylian. What do you think?” he asked, grinning.
“Your name for me? Hmmm. I like it, now I have to find yours. What does it mean?” I asked curious.
“Uh… it’s hard to explain. But trust me it fits you perfectly,” he said putting a hand on my shoulder. Something in his look told me that it was quite simple to explain. What could it mean?

(A/N): Ugh. Sorry about that ending yo. But whatevs, best I could do ya know? Tell me what y’all think! And sune= (Sue nay) in pronunciation. It almost sounds like two words. And yes, I did completely make it up. Lol ;)
