Ruffled Feathers

Chapter 5

I think in this Chapter I'm gonna go more into Age of Calamity because yeah, The beginning is doubted to, but It'll definitely be in this Chapter.

Links POV:

We went back to the castle on Sunday, then I trained, and Revali had the day off, but he watched me train the rest of the day. I don't think he knew I noticed that he was watching me. The past couple of days Revali became more of a complaining bitch then some bird that has random soft spots for people.

"You were sloppy that whole time Knight." I wanted to punch him in the beak then explode everything including him. I learned to show less emotion especially around the Rito Warrior. He frowned at me, I walked away, I had to be with the princess anyways.

Revali's POV:

I felt disappointed that he showed no emotion to my complaint. But I didn't care, I just went to the Library. I've been spending more time in the Library lately and I started to learn sign language, it wasn't because I liked the Knight it was just that it would be easier to learn it. Just in case. I was actually very good at it, well good at knowing what the signs ment. With my feathers and have wings instead of arms, I couldn't sign very well. But that's besides the point.

Links POV:

It was already lunchtime and only a couple of people made it, Daruk and Urbosa we're too busy so they were going to eat where they were.

"Princess may I make a small request?" Zelda hesitated and looked at me, I gave her the 'dont look at me' look and she nodded at Revali.

"Your knight from what I've unserved isn't very good at his job, maybe he should try and fight real monsters, Like Moblins and Bokomoblins." Revali have a smug smile at me.

"Revali, I will look over it, but Link is doing very well in his training." I wanted to show every anger in my body and glare at him, but I knew that was what he wanted.

"Whatever you say, I'm just saying maybe he's not fit for the mission."

"Er...Revali, maybe you should see Link fight, he is very good at it." Mipha smiled at Revali, and the Rito just scoffed.

"I have seen him Tiny Princess, almost every day." Every day? Did he just admit to stalking me?

"You watch Link everyday?" Zelda looked at Revali confused. I could tell Revali's feathers were starting to fluff up from embarrassment. I signed to the other princesses. 'I guess I have a stalker.' I made sure not to use any body language, but Revali seemed to still have a reaction to my signing.

"I'm not a stalker." I heard Revali mumble under his breath. He actually understood that? I thought it was a waste of time to learn sign language. Mipha and Zelda didn't seem to notice but I 100% did.

Revali's POV:

Lunch was finally over, I can't believe they think I'm stalking that tiny Hylian. I was muttering to myself in frustration, when I felt a tug on my wing. I jumped a bit, but it was just the stupid Hylian.

"What do you want Knight." His face was still emotionles it frustrated me. 'You understand sign language?' I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah right sign language is a waste of time." Shit he was catching on, what if everyone found out and thought I had this obsession over the Knight? He gave me a soft smile, the first emotion he showed for more than a week. For some reason it felt like I just dropped off and high place, my stomach felt all woozy. I tried to ignore it.

"Huh." I started to mumble to myself questioning myself. He clapped Infront of my beak. 'Why do you hate me bird man?' I stared at him. Does he actually think I hate him?

"Who said I hated you?" His eyes widened at what I just said, I felt instant regret. Was that considered flirting? Or whatever Hylians call it, I felt my feathers start to fluff, and I smoothed them out. 'Do you hate me?' I stopped and stared at him again. Damnit why does his eyes have to be so beautiful.

"Yes, I do hate you." Fuck! Why'd I say that, whatever at least he didn't think I was soft. 'why'd you learn sign language?' What do I say what do I say? Oh yeah I learned it cause I'm in love with you. WAIT WHAT. I did not just think that.

"Because it seemed cool." Am I in love with a stupid knight? No! Of course not. Why would I? He's stupid, and annoying. I didn't notice my feathers fluffing again until the Hylian told me. 'you alright?' I snapped my head at him.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be I'm just embarrassed on how bad your fighting skills are, if I were you I'd be embarrassed." I smirked at him, but again no emotion, I smoothed my feathers, I also ignored my thoughts and went back to annoying him.

"You have no purpose in any of this." I of course didn't mean it, he is the one to seal Ganon, but I already started.

"If I were you I would try and make a mark. " And with that I walked away.

Links POV:

If that bird said anymore I would have grabbed a chair and smashed it across his fucking face. Also he was totally lying he doesn't hate me. I don't hate him either. I was training with Impa again today, and happily Revali wasn't with us. Zelda came by to talk to me.

"Hello Link, I'm sorry to say this but you will have to train by fighting Monsters today, but its mainly because Monsters are popping up more frequently than usual." I honestly didn't mind it but it was annoying. After training was over Zelda wanted to go to the Field that had the Silent princess. We went there a lot but today was different, Zelda said she wanted to ask me something. Once we got there we sat down under a tree.

"We will have to visit Revali tomorrow to talk about getting a new bow." I was very irritated but nodded, I think Zelda noticed and wanted to ask about it.

"What do you think about Revali?" SHIT! That was something I never thought about, should I tell her? Yes we are close but are we close enough? I gained some confidence and finally started to sign, 'Well he can be sweet, and nice. But he is also you know, but I guess hes ok.' She sighed in relief and smiled warmly at me.

I Published this early by accident before finishing but oh well, I didn't publish earlier or post anything because I walked and ate with my friends (One is maybe more than a friend????" but yeah I'm planning on publishing a lot tonight because i'll be binge watching stranger things. Hope you enjoyed!
