Breath of the Wild - One Shots

Mutual Feelings Pt. 4, (Revali x Reader)

"I'll miss you." The meek voice was a deadening unpleasant sound. It was sad and full of dread, as if all the life had been sucked from their being. As if there was nothing left to hold on to, as if there was nothing left worth living for.

"But I'll never leave, you know that."

"The necklace?" They said while reaching up toward their collarbone where the jewelry resided. They fumbled with it for a moment, simply rolling it in their hand. Their eyes closed slowly as if they never intended to open them again.

"As long as you wear it, I swear I'm always here." The sotto voce voice replied gently, a hand reaching for their forehead. It was burning like a raging fire. Their face was flushed, missing that twinkle that once radiated from their body. It was terrible to see them go through this. It couldn't-

You woke with a slick line of sweat coating your forehead. Wiping it from your brow, you hastily threw your feet over the side of the bed, quickly stuck them into your shoes and laced your boots. The thin cotton sheet flew like a ghost and landed haphazardly at the foot of the bed. The man behind the counter seemed startled by your sudden outburst, his eyes were wide as he watched curiously with his arms propped on the counter top. Choosing to ignore him, you neatly laid the sheets and comforter down. Then left.

The day was far different from the last. The sun had barely risen over the horizon, the dusk still lingered around like a smog in a polluted city. Rito Village was not lively yet, as the only ones awake were the warriors who were heading out for another day of training. From your spot, you could barely make out the shape of Daruk sleeping soundly in the Inn. At the top of the village, Revali stood in his home with his back facing you. He was awake early, but as he said it, "the early bird gets the worm." Either that, or he slept in a very odd position.

The temperature had dropped considerably which prompted you to retrieve your gloves and a worn cotton scarf that was red in color. While it would be nice to adorn a blue one with the royal crest on it, you weren't important enough to receive one. Though, for those who are, it's a true honor and should be worn proudly. The Champions all wore the cloth, showing that they were of true value to the land. After all, they were supposed to save everyone from the Calamity.

Walking quickly, you made it back to the Village with time to spare. A few others had woken and were making their ways to the various shops around to stock their homes for the coming day. A shopkeeper smiled in your direction, to which you smiled back and gave a curt nod.

A particular bird caught your eye, actually two birds. Two love birds, maybe? Seoi stood on one of the landings, talking lively to a male Rito. He was tall, much taller than Revali. He looked a lot like a bird derived from a parrot. His feathers were bright and colorful, laid against a snow white belly. Like the others, a chest piece and shoulder pads were worn on his torso. A pair of brown trousers were held up by a very stylish golden belt. Seoi was absolutely fawning over him, and he seemed very interested in her as well. A moment later, he bid her farewell and took to the sky.

"I approve." You said from your spot. Seoi turned on her heel and hid her face behind her wing, embarrassed.

"Have you been watching me the entire time?"

"Just for a second."

"Hmph." She rolled her eyes and made her way over, "well how was the Inn last night? Too expensive for my taste, but it's the only place for travelers."

"I stayed at the stable. No beds left."

"You walked all the way to the stable? [Name], you know my door is always open."

"Wouldn't that have been breaking and entering? I believe you were sound asleep by the time I finally moved." You joked, following her as she guided you back toward the staircase.
