Light in the Storm - A Breath of the Wild Fanfiction

Chapter 11

Lyra was leaning her back against the wall near her bedroom door. She was waiting for Hayate to get changed into feminine clothing since they were going to Gerudo Town for royal business.

The door opened, making Lyra slightly jump. Her eyes widen at the sight of Hayate who was dressed in a flowy two piece Gerudo outfit. It seemed like he was wearing hair extensions to make it look like he had hair going down his back. And for some reason, his face looked more feminine due to makeup effects.

Hayate was leaning his arm against the door frame. "So... How do I look?" He asked in a seductive, womanly voice.

Lyra couldn't believe he got the appearance and the voice down. She didn't know if she should feel impressed or jealous. "This is so unfair..."

"What's unfair?"

"That you look prettier than me!"

Hayate let out a chuckle. "Nonsense. You're pretty cute. You got to be more confident in yourself."

"And I think you should lower your confidence just a tad bit. Or give some to me."

"Are you saying I'm too full of myself?"

"You can be at times."

"Touché." Hayate looked at her from head to toe. "So... Are you going to get changed into more desert friendly clothes?"

Lyra was still wearing Link's old hero's outfit. "I'll be fine wearing this."

"Oh, honey. You do not want to go into the desert with that outfit. You will overheat."

Lyra was thinking to herself. "I guess you're right about that. But I really like these clothes."

"You can wear them again after we're done with our business in Gerudo Town."

Lyra nodded. "Alright. I'll get changed too." She was walking into her own bedroom, closing the door behind her. Hayate was leaning his back against the wall while waiting, quietly looking at his fingernails.

Soon after, the bedroom door opened, revealing Lyra wearing a flowy one piece Gerudo outfit. Her hair was a bit of a mess since she didn't bother brushing it. "Ok I'm done."

Hayate arched an eyebrow. "Not with that hair you're not."

Lyra let out a sigh. "It's not that bad."

"Not that bad until you go into the desert and start sweating like crazy, and your hair starts to frizz. Not happening." Hayate pushed her back into her room, closing the door behind him.

Hayate had Lyra sit in front of her vanity. She groaned a bit. "What's the big deal, Hayate?"

Hayate had a hairbrush in one hand and a bunch of bobby pins and hairties in the other. "I'm trying to do you a favor so you won't have a hair disaster in the desert."

"And how will you do that?"

"Trust me. I'm an expert in cosmetology. Hair, makeup, nails, skincare. You name it."

Lyra felt like she had nothing really to lose. "Ok fine. You can do my hair."

"While I'm at it, can I do your makeup too?"

"I guess so if you're quick about it."

"Quick is my middle name. If your heart starts fluttering because I'll be close to you, just think of me as a girl friend and it will go away."

Lyra started to blush. "Wait what?!"

Hayate started to laugh at Lyra's expression. "I was just joking! Now just tilt your head a little and relax."
