(A/N: Gaaahh... sorry this chapter took so long, both of our lives have been busy and many, many things happened in the past month to absolutely ruin my mental health so... yeah... sorry -Keeto)

It thankfully didn't take as long as it did to get back to Zoras Domain than the previous time they made the journey. The stars twinkled above both Red and Link as they exited the room in which the shrine was located, the sound of owls hooting in the distance indicating just how late in the night it was.

Red yawned as he looked around, the only zoras in sight being the guards. He smiled gently as Link wrapped an arm around his waist, "Come on... let's get to bed..." he whispered, a chaste kiss planted on his boyfriend's cheek, the red-haired male nodding. The boys relished in the silence of the domain as they got to the inn... before-

"I DON'T GET WHY YOU'RE STILL HERE YOU FUCKING DICKHEAD!"

Red jumped at the sudden screech, wheezing as pain spread through his lungs, Link opened his mouth to ask Red if he was okay before more screeching ensued.

"I'm here to take care of THE BABIES I ADOPTED WHILE HARTH GETS HIS BUSINESS HERE DONE WITH!"

"OH DON'T PUT ON THE INNOCENT ACT NOW, ALEC! NOT TO MENTION WHY ARE YOU ADOPTING CHILDREN WITH A GODDAMN MAN?!"

Red and Link gave each other a look before walking in, spotting a visibly pissed-off Aleya and a tense Alec who looked like he was about to cry, with Kayden in the middle of them trying to calm them down.

"Sparrow asked me to! Sparrow asked us to! I helped care for them before they even hatched!" Alec snapped back.

"Aleya, please calm down, I get that his presence isn't exactly-"

"This doesn't involve you Kayden!" Aleya hissed, before glaring at Alec once again, ready to yell at Alec again.

"Aleya? Alec?" Red finally spoke up, the two hylians looking up to surprise, whilst Kayden let out a sigh of relief.

Aleya glared at Alec before smiling at Red, "You're back earlier than last time, Sunset!" She was quick to take him in her arms hugging him tightly, causing him to let out a harsh breath as his chest burned due to the amount of pressure applied to it. Aleya let go of him quickly visible concern on her face "You okay Red? I didn't squeeze you too tight did I?"

"I- I'm fine, Al..." Red smiled uneasily, leaning into Link's hold as the blond wrapped an arm around his shoulders almost protectively.

Red was unable to continue as Alec spoke up, "It's... been awhile, Red, Link..." he muttered awkwardly, avoiding Aleya's gaze. The tension in the room could be cut with a knife, pure silence spreading through for a minute before Link finally cleared his throat.

"Well, how have you guys been?" He asked, Alec visibly tensing up more, averting his eyes while Aleya gave them a small, angry smile.

"Perfect... just have to deal with a certain asshole..." She muttered, not even hiding the shade she threw Alec's way, the male shifting uncomfortably where he stood. "Myra." She smiles with a thumbs up. Red stares at her in confusion, but doesn't question it, Myra.

Alec is silent for a moment, "I uh... should probably just... go..." he mumbled, turning around.

"Oi! I'm not done with you!" Aleya shouted, Kayden visibly frustrated as he stood back at his desk. "Why the fuck do you like pineapple on pizza you fucking disgrace?!" Alec freezes, slowly turning around wide-eyed.

"It tastes good, okay? Hylia... it's just pizza it doesn't affect anyone!" Alec argued back, before continuing to try and leave.

"You are an insult to true pizza lovers!" Aleya screamed.
