Breath of the Wild - One Shots

100 Years, (Sidon x Reader)

If you can possibly be triggered by anything, heads up. I will not divulge what, as I don't want to spoil my lovely story. Happy reading!

"That's cheating!" The jovial laughter of children filled the air surrounding Zora's Domain. The pitter patter of tiny feet echoed off the canyon walls, reverberating up into the morning sky. You groaned, rolling your eyes and stopping dead in your tracks. Sidon is cheating!

You had challenged him to a race...on foot of course! He had jumped head first into the water, diving so fast you merely hadn't noticed his absence. The only alert you were granted was his splash as small water droplets landed on your exposed skin. The feather of his headpiece emerged from the waterline as he appeared from the shimmery blue waves. How it had managed to stay dry was beyond you, perhaps it was some sort of Zora magic? Or possibly some sort of wax.

"It isn't!" He insisted, now swimming over to the shoreline to join you on the path.

"I said foot!" You pouted, pointing down to your feet as you tapped them on the ground.

"Well," He stopped for a moment, staring down at your feet then looking to his own. "Mine aren't meant for running. You know that, silly." His opulent smile radiated an innocence that only children could claim. His hand slapped at your arm playfully.

"You know you're faster in the water. I'm going to lose."

"Well..." his brow furrowed as he thought deeply, "no! I'll just swim slow!"

"Sidon!" You tried your best to keep your voice down but it was impossible with the excitement of what you were to show him. He turned from where he stood at the waterbed's side, a wide smile on his face.

"It's late." He stated, a yawn creeping onto his face. His arms stretched up, only to come back down and land by his sides. The Zora prince was considerably taller at this point, he had grown to nearly five feet and kept a slim but toned physique. While he was not yet to his full height, he still grew a hair faster than you, standing about five inches above. Mentally, the both of you were comparable to 13-year old's.

"I found something. I want you to see it."

"The king expects me to rest. Tomorrow I'm starting to fulfill my duties as the prince of Zora's Domain. Can it wait?"

"No." You said quietly, your thumbs now interlocking as you picked at the loose skin surrounding your nails. "It's super cool." Sidon looked at you, a hint of curiosity in his eyes as he said your name in a warning-like fashion.

"Please?" You drew out the end of your words. "It'll be super-fast, I promise!" You crossed the room to his side as you grabbed at his arms, your hand coming to his. Eyes widening, he pulled his hand back and watched as you slinked away. Coughing, he repositioned himself and rolled his shoulders back.

"I... I-uh... Yes, I suppose I can spare a moment for you." He outstretched his hand for you to take, to which you delightedly accepted.

Leading Sidon out of the Domain was difficult with the guards positioned at the exits, but you somehow managed to do so. They had been instructed to make sure that the both of you didn't stray any further than the Domain bridges without an escort. You passed Veiled Falls where Mipha performed a tradition passed down through the generations during the annual celebration. If it hadn't been for her passing, she would still be doing so.

Ralis Pond wasn't far, your destination. Sidon tensed as soon as he realized what you had been speaking of. A Blue Hinox slept soundly on the ground just beyond the pond. Loud snores vibrated from its chest causing the ground to slightly shake. The quiet clinking of old rusted swords created an almost unsettling feeling - almost.
