Link Vs. Cuccos (Link X Reader One Shot)

Link Vs. Cuccos

Today was just a normal day in Kakiriko Village. You were currently hanging up some laundry on a clothes line to dry outside your house.

You finished hanging up your clothes and was about to go back inside when you felt something brush up against your leg. You look down to see a cucco.

You smiled at the creature and pet it's head. The cucco reminded you of the time your friend, Link, had told you about his fear of cuccos.

~ Flash Back 7 years ago, you and Link are 10 years old~

"You're afraid of cuccos?!" You gasped, as you laughed at Link's fear.

"Stop laughing!" Link ordered, his cheeks red from embarrassment. "You promised you wouldn't laugh!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" You apologized, taking a deep breaths to try and stop laughing. "Why are you afraid of cuccos? They're so cute!"

Link gasped. "How could you ask such a ridiculous question?! And what do you mean they're cute?! They're demons!"

You rolled your eyes. "And how did you come to that conclusion?"

"Don't I have a story for you!" Link laughed. "So I was at Lon Lon Ranch, right? Showing off my awesome sword skills to Malon. And as I was showing her my amazing spin attack, when a dumb cucco decides to walk past me. I couldn't stop, I was already mid way through spin when my sword hit the cucco-"

"So you hit the cucco?!" You interrupted. "Did you kill it?!"

Link looked shocked. "No I didn't kill the cucco! Now let me finish!"

"How could you not have killed the cucco?" You asked. "Did Malon help it?"

"Stop with the questions and let me finish!!" Link ordered before continuing on with his story. "No I did not kill the cuccos when I hit it with my sword. In fact, it didn't leave a mark! Cuccos are invincible I tell you! Invincible!"

You rolled your eyes. "Okay, that makes no sense. And that doesn't explain to me why you think they're evil."

"That's because I'm not finished!"

"Then please Link," You urged. "Finish."

Link did just that. "Right when I finished my attack, the cuccos ran around in circles then suddenly came to a stop before screaming into the sky. Me and Malon were quite confused at first, but then, before I knew what was even happening, a bunch a cuccos flew towards me from the sky and started attacking me!"

Link paused for effect. You gave him a weird look. Link continued, but with more enthusiasm.

"I screamed as the cuccos pecked at me and I ran for my life!" Link jumped from where he was sitting and started swinging his sword around, pretending to fight something. "I drew my sword! I wasn't going down with out a fight! I swung my sword at them, but they wouldn't die! I was loosing strength, I had no choice but to run!"

Link stopped and looked at you, you pretended to look interested.

"Me and Malon ran into her house. I was a mess, so Malon patched me up." Link said, sounding sad. "I still have the scars to this day..."

Link lowered his head and went silent. It was like that for a few seconds until Link looked up a little bit to see your reaction. You did not look a bit entertained.

"I don't believe you." You said confidently, breaking the silence.

Link gasped loudly. "What do you mean you don't believe me?!?!"

"I've lived around cuccos my entire life and I've never ever seen them do something like that!" You explained to Link. "I won't believe you until I see it for myself!"
