Breath of the Wild - One Shots

A Simple Mistake, (Sidon x Reader)

Summary: Misconceptions and misunderstandings cause shark boy to worry

You and Sidon had been dating for quite some time now. You had been on a long journey with the intention of ending up in Tarry Town, and decided to stop at Zora's Domain to restock. This obviously didn't work out the way you intended. Ever since the large, optimistic Zora Prince greeted you on your first visit, you were fighting a losing battle. Sidon would seek you out as you toured around the domain. He insisted on showing you his favorite spots and was the absolute best at finding small trinkets along the way. Your relationship grew quite fast from there.

Before you even knew Sidon, you worked as a traveling medic or healer. Brewing potions and finding herbal cures for pains or diseases was your thing. You had set up a few make shift shops in Hateno and as far away as Gerudo, but they never lasted long as competition in the market was always present. Thanks to Sidon, you now had a permanent practice in Zora's Domain. Fellow travelers and people looking for cures would come to your shop with the occasional visitation from a Zora child who had fallen ill. You aided in the births and were the primary place to go for all races in Hyrule, given that they didn't already have the help.

Now you stood in your small office-like space, polishing off a few vials and sorting your ingredients into neatly stacked piles for use. Scanning over the materials, you frowned. It seems you've run short on hearty radishes and durians. The radishes were no problem, they could be found anywhere. As for the durians, you'd need to travel to the Faron region which was south of your current location. It would be at least a four day trip down and a four day trip back. It didn't help that you hadn't bothered to tame a horse and would have to endure this trip on foot.

"Dear?" Sidon popped his head through the door and smiled sweetly upon seeing you. He allowed his whole body to enter the room. "Ah, there you are."

"I was just about to find you." You moved to the small shelf where your travelers backpack sat. Sidon felt a pang of sadness strike his chest, he knew what this meant.

"You're leaving?" He frowned, clutching something to his chest. You turned to him and felt a crooked smile cross your face as you stared lovingly. He looked like a child, a seven foot tall shark child. His eyes were as big as he could get them; if they could talk they would be pleading for you to stay.

"I'll only be gone for a week and a half, given that nothing goes wrong." You joked, but his worry only grew.

"Hyrule isn't as safe as it once was, darling. I don't like the idea of you alone out there." He unraveled his arms and placed something down on the desk, then came to kneel in front of you so your eyes could meet at the same level.

"Sidon, you forget that I used to travel until I met you. I know how to defend myself and I know my limitations." A gentle hand reached out to caress the side of his face, to which he leaned into.

"I'll go with you." His hand came to cover yours and the other to the side of your face. The velvety portion of his hand brushed lightly over your features, a padded finger feathering over your cheek to your eyelashes and nose. His head tilted slightly in a child-like wonder as he examined each freckle on your skin.

"Sidon, you and I both know you can't do that." You said. A rumble shook your palm as he groaned quietly. His eyes searched yours, their golden flecks shimmering against the deep honey pools. You could see a hint of fear tucked in their depths that he so desperately tried to hold in. Sidon always tried to hide his discontent from you, whether it be work or you leaving but he never seemed to succeed.

"I'm sure I wouldn't fall too far behind in-"

"Sidon." You said with a honeyed tone.

"I know, love. I just want to see you safe and sound."
