I Give You My Life ~ Revali x Reader

Chapter Twenty-Three

[Your POV]

Because it's so hot in Goron City, Revali suggested not bringing Ares and Aurora. It made sense, so we we dropped them off at a nearby stable and continued to Goron City on foot. "I'm sure Daruk will have some heat-protection clothes when we get there." Revali said.

"So you're willing to sacrifice me more then the horses?" I asked, cocking my eyebrow with a smirk.

"You want me to be honest?" He asked. Before I could even respond, he said: "Yes." And proceeded to smirk back at me. I was going to shoot something back at him when I saw it. Death Mountain. I stopped in my tracks as I stared at the mountain in the distance in awe. It was huge! It didn't look AS active as it had in the game, but I could still tell it was Death Mountain. "On my back. It will be faster if we fly." Without hesitation, I climbed on Revali's back and we took to the skies.

I looked down as Revali coasted in for a landing in the middle of Goron City. The place was lively with Goron everywhere. Daruk was waiting for us, waving Revali down. He landed perfectly, typical Revali. As I jumped off his back, I was suddenly pulled into a bone-crushing hug by Daruk. "It's about time you arrived, haha!" Daruk said, setting me down. I almost fell over, but instead I crashed into Revali. When Daruk opened his arms towards the Rito Champion, Revali's eyes widened and he shook his head. "(Y/N), I'd like you to meet someone who's been very excited to meet you!" Daruk stepped aside, revealing a young Goron I...actually recognized!

"Hey, weren't you in Hyrule that one time I was?" I asked. Revali rolled his eyes but the young Goron nodded his head.

"This is my son, Munlo." Daruk said, patting him on the head. "Go on, Munlo!" Daruk lightly nudged him forward, towards me. The boy looked up at me, his cheeks turning red. He bowed so quickly, he ended up falling on his face. Poor kid.

"You okay?" I asked, stifling a giggle. Revali was trying not to laugh too. Daruk had bursted out laughing.

"That's my boy!" Daruk laughed. I leaned down, holding my hand out. Munlo gripped my hand as I pulled him up. His big hands didn't let go of mine. He was about half my height and was really adorable. The white tuft on his head, his orange rough skin, and his big curious eyes as they stared up at me. Daruk's huge hand slapped my back, almost knocking me down as well. "So, I'll show you where you guys'll be staying! You wanna come too, Munlo?" Munlo nodded his head eagerly. Daruk turned to Revali and I. "He's a little shy. Doesn't talk much."

The four of us walked across the bridges over lava. I began panting as I stared down at the hot stuff. Revali looked down at me and a concerned look crossed his face. "Hey, Daruk, you said you would have some clothes prepared for (Y/N)?" Revali asked, his voice even sounding a little worried.

"Ah, yup!" Daruk said, ruffling my hair. I was so entranced in the lava, I had started zoning out. But Daruk had snapped me out of it. "Come on, kid!" I looked up at the sweet goron. He pat me on the back, ruffling my hair again. I felt a warmth in my heart burst, enveloping my entire body. And no, it wasn't because of the heat. There was something about Daruk that seemed so familiar but...also something I've been missing in my life. That's when it hit me...

"I've got dance practice soon, so I'm gonna have to get off in a few." Clarsita said over the mic. We were playing Minecraft together. Piripi and Victor weren't online, so it was just the two of us.

"What sort of dancing do you do again? Jazz?" I asked, finishing one of our farmhouses.

"Ballet." Clarista corrected. "My dad'll be taking me. I'm really nervous."

"How come?" I asked. Then I remembered my dad. I would be terrified if I had to go in a car with my dad. I would be scolded, and accused of so many things. He'd encourage me to go out with Gabe and I wouldn't be able to defend myself.

"Oh, I've just been really working hard on my dance and my dad's been excited to see me." Clarista said. "He hasn't been able to go to a lot of my performances since my mom's so protective. But, I don't know what she's freaking out about. My dad really loves me and I wish he was able to be in my life more..." I fell silent, waiting for her to continue talking. "...Sorry, I went on a rant."

"Nah, it's okay. Your dad seems cool." I said.

"Thanks, (Y/N). I gotta go now, so I'll see you!" She said, going offline. I gave a sigh as I felt alone in our Minecraft world.

"(Y/N)!" My dad yelled, banging on the door. "Gabe's spending the night! Dress nice, okay!?" He didn't even wait for me to answer. He left me.

"(Y/N), you're zoning out again." Revali said, wiping his feathery fingers over my forehead. "Are you okay?"

"N-N-..." I started. "...Yeah, I'm fine. Just...hot." My eyes began to droop and I leaned my head on Revali as we walked. He allowed it, even using a wing to fan my face. I smiled. This...felt nice.

Daruk soon led us to a small hut with one bed in it. "You and Revali will stay here!" Daruk said, opening the curtain. "(Y/N), your new clothes are in that drawer on the right side of the bed." He pointed to the drawer. I nodded, muttering a 'thank you' and stumbled into the hut with a pant, immediately searching for the clothes. As I got changed into the protective but breathable (F/C) clothes, I ended up eavesdropping on Daruk and Revali's conversation outside.

"Daruk, why must (Y/N) and I share a bed?" Revali asked, sounding a little freaked out.

"I thought that was something you'd be interested in, Revali." Daruk teased. "Don't worry, it's big enough to fit the both of you!"

"T-That's not the p-point, Daruk!" Revali said. "Munlo, can you step away for a minute?" I heard footsteps as Munlo took off. The curtain was the only thing separating me from the boys. "Daruk, (Y/N) is...different! And I am a man! A rito man! Men, of all races, get urges!"

"Why are you giving me a coming of age talk?" Daruk asked. "Do you like (Y/N)?"

"I-I..." Revali stuttered. "I can bear them!"

"Mhmm." Daruk hummed. "I think you'll quite enjoy sharing a bed with (Y/N)~"

"And so what if I do!?" Revali cried.

"Then you should talk to (Y/N) about that." Daruk said. His footsteps signalled that he was walking away. I stared at Revali's still shadow through the curtain. He gave a sigh after a moment.

"(Y/N)? Are you done getting dressed? I told you, I'm a gentleman!" He said. I quickly finished getting changed, running everything I just heard in my head.
