Breath of the Wild - One Shots

Mutual Feelings, (Revali x Reader)

The road ahead would be a treacherous one, its winding and twirling pathways have long been tangled and torn. It was not a difficult concept in writing, "destroy the evil," but physically and mentally it was nearly impossible to wrap your head around. How were a rock, a giant, three Hylians, a fish and a bird supposed to lock this evil away for good? Even with the help of these supposed "guardians and Divine Beasts," it seemed unfathomable that the fate of Hyrule was put into the hands of a few warriors. Maybe you were thinking too logically - maybe that was something everyone else needed to do as well. Who knows? What you do know now is that you've got to try, at least.

"Hmm?" You hummed, trying to ease the constant screeching in your ear resonating from the bird. It vaguely reminded you of the incessant troublesome caw of the bird's nest that is perched outside your window at the castle. Morning, noon, and night it would clamor around causing as much disturbance to you as it could. As for Revali, he had been following you the entire trip, looking on as a bystander, you'd think that he had a crush on you. He wouldn't leave you alone, not for a single second. You supposed it gave him some sort of demented satisfaction to know he was completely ruining your day by preventing you from getting any research done.

Currently, you were traveling with the Champions representing the royal scientists. Despite not being credited for helping with the Sheikah technology, you played an important role in piecing it together and figuring out how it worked. Though, everyone praised Purah and Robbie for it. The Princess, Zelda, was reluctant to your attendance in the trip as she would have much rather preferred another. At times, she did seem to enjoy talking to you about the tech and how it all worked, seeing as you knew more than anyone else in Hyrule. Most of the time you attempted to stay by yourself at the back of the group. Well, unless a certain feathered "friend" was near.

"I said," he cleared his throat, fisting his hand over his chest and giving it a good thump causing his chest piece to echo, "isn't the view lovely?"

Taking a moment to look up from your notes you were greeted with a view like any other. It was nothing special, in your opinion. The trees were the same brown they had always been, their leaves the same emerald green. Small bugs spotted the branches, creeping and crawling up to their nests and into holes. The grass beneath you was tiring, it was an olive shade and almost looked as if it were dying. Out in the distance was the Rito Village, constructed in the most unreasonable fashion up the side of a large stone fixture. You dreaded showing up, not because you disliked the Rito. Quite the opposite, you found them to be some of the more personable of the different races, but their children could become clingy. The heights and temperature of the place was another aspect you weren't fond of. Unlike the Rito, you were not gifted with a natural protection from the harsh breeze and had to rely on layers of blankets that would fly off your body at night.

"It's alright." You responded as your eyes focused back down onto the scribbles that covered the worn parchment of your notebook. "Nothing special." You muttered, knowing this comment would not settle well with him.

"Oh ho, for your information it is something quite special. If you haven't noticed," he reached down and pushed your chin up, "that is Rito Village, where I'm from. Though there is something rather negative about my view."

"-and that would be?" Sighing, you folded the book in half, its leather binding creaking as you did so. A puff of dust formed in the air, suggesting how old the book was.

"You. I absolutely refuse to have this," he motioned to your body, "ruining my hometown. Remove yourself at once."

"How about you just walk in front of me and leave me alone for once?"

"So you can attack me from behind? I think not."

"You seriously-"you shook your head and pinched the bridge of your nose, "Revali, just fly home if you hold it so dear to your heart. The other Champions and I will be there eventually."

"Hmph." He rolled his eyes. "I suppose I will. Try not to die while you're away from me, knowing your lack of fighting skills I don't think you'd stand a chance if an attack were to come." He began to run forward before taking off into the sky. You watched as he swiftly maneuvered through the air before landing softly on one of the many landings.

"I don't suppose the two of you were flirting." Urbosa's voice came from beside you, snapping you out of your trance. "After all, you were trained on him for a moment too long." She laughed softly and slowed her pace to walk next to you.

"Of course not. He wishes." You scoffed, slightly flustered. You ran a hand down the side of your face, brushing some of the stray hairs back behind your ear.

"He wishes? It would be safe to say you do too." Her hips swayed when she walked, causing her skirt to brush against your leg every so often. You looked up at her, eyes meeting. She only let out another chuckle, "It's written all over your face, sweetheart."

The Gerudo were stunning beings. Their height matched that of the tallest Rito and Gorons. Surely they could match the Zora's as well. It amazed you how toned and sculpted their bodies were and how this was just a natural gene in their DNA. You had spent a great deal of time studying the different races around Hyrule before you were called to contribute to the war against Calamity Ganon. You had to admit, the Gerudo were your favorite. Gerudo Town was a lively place where you never ceased to find hidden nooks and places to visit. The women were all very kind and many were eager to assist you in your studies. The best part was when you visited Gerudo, Revali could not follow you in. No voe allowed.

"I don't like him." You huffed.

"Keep telling yourself that, but you should take advantage of the time we have left." She placed a gentle hand on your shoulder, "Life is short." With that, she sped up and easily covered the distance between you and the rest of the group. Rejoining them, she immediately found her place in the conversation and carried on as if she hadn't just been talking to you.

"Life is short." You mumbled, "Too short to waste my time on the likes of him." In defiance of your words, you peered up to the landing once more. He stood there with his hand pressed to his chest as he spoke boastfully to another Rito. You sighed, even if you did find yourself drawn to him, you would never intrigue him the same way.

Your eyes shifted downward to the ground to watch your feet move one at a time propelling you forward toward the village. You didn't notice his gaze locked on you, nor the many times he turned to check if you were still safe and with the group.
