Short orange hair, a yellow gem shining from his forehead, dark skin matching his equally yellow eyes.

He was alone, sitting in the shadows of the rocks in the valley watching the tossing river rushing under his cold gaze.
He was beautiful in every inch of the word. The prince of the Dessert, the only male Gerudo, worthy to become the king.
Never had your eyes seen such a wonderful creature before. His movement were sleek like a predator waiting for it's perfect opportunity to attack it's prey... Yes that was what he was.. a predator.
You were watching him from afar..  just like he had ordered you, a young guardian Gerudo who was not much younger than him but not much older either. The twin blades, your well trained weapons were neatly tugged in their sheaths  dangling on your side as you stood there, unmoving, adoring your prince from afar and keeping your other senses sharpened wanting to be ready to protect him with your life even if you didn't had to because your prince was perfectly capable of protecting himself. The large sword with it's black blade and yellow pattern halve covered by the black white patterned coat he had thrown over his bare chest, where enough prove of it.
His left leg was closer drawn to his body, arm laying lazyli on it's top. His right bandaged arm was probably supporting his leant back body next to the hilt.
His yellow eyes had shifted from it's usuall spot of the running water beneath you, to... and you would have ran away if you were allowed to... you. His yellow eyes were skimming your body up and down lighting up a bit as he did. You resisted flinching and swallowed hard as your gaze shifted to the ground beneath you.
>>(Y/N).<< His voice spoke your name and your head snapped up. He was standing, slinging the broad and heavy sword on his shoulder. You lowered your head dropping to one knee fist comnected with the ground as your other held the double blades. >>Yes, my prince?<< you asked hearing his sandals scrunching under his feet as he walked forward.
You waited seeing his coat flowing in the air as he passed you.
>>Let's go home. << His voice was gentle and warm. He didn't turn around nor did he wait for you to follow. But he walked slowly so you had enough time to straighten and take your rightful place by his side... as his guardian...

When He looked at you. Standing unmoving in the burning heat of the sun. (s/c) damp with sweat (e/c) orbs watching him intensly, probably worried about his wellbeing. He thought you must be hot as you averted your gaze to the ground and he took one last glance at the water.
He liked it... the water and he liked coming here. It would just be the two of you sitting next to each other in complete silence.
This time however he wanted to be alone sorting out his thoughts. He kept starring at the water and couldn't think of anything else than you... surprisingly. It was tossing and turning remembering him of your wild fighting style but could be so smooth and soft at the same time remembering him of your tender smile you gave when he talked more than one sentence without a demand or a order in it or when you were off duty chatting away with the other Gerudo.
There where so many Gerudo in the tribe and yet none like you... your smile, your voice, your form, your smooth way to move without using too much of your whole body and the unique (f/c) gemstone held on your forehead with a small golden chain that was braided in your hair... he could admire it the whole day... you the whole day. He stood calling your name watching your head snap up looking at him again... he supressed and unmajestic smirk on his face as he swung the broad blade on his shoulder. He heard her knee hit the dusty ground. Dirt blown upwards your head bowed deeply before him.
He made his way towards you never stopping as he heard your reply >>Yes, my prince?<< this time he smirked passing her by inhaling deeply. >>Let's go home. << he waited feet never resting but he waited for her to catch up. To take your rightful place at his side. ... Just like you would do when you were ,his queen'...

You knew you where his guardian.
You hoped you could be more and tried to avoid his attention.
You had to surpress your longing feelings.
You knew that he was way out of your reach and you would never catch up.

He knew that he was the Prince
He knew he was allowed to take the Gerudo he wanted to be his wife.
He craved your attention reaching out to you in every possible way.
He thought you didn't like him.
He thought you just did what the elder Gerudo told you to.

The thruth wasn't seen from both of you.
You made a vow and he did the same...

,,I'll always stay by your side. My Love"
