Link slowly blinked his eyes open, letting out a yawn as he sat up. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes while taking in his surroundings. The sun was shining brightly through the window of his little house in Hateno village, the warmth of the rays waking him and– oh. That’s right. A smile spread on his lips as he looked next to him, staring at the bare back of a still sleeping Zelda. He was no longer alone.
They had been together for nearly two years now, yet he still found it hard to believe that it was real, and not just some dream. He smiled and gently rolled onto his side to lay next to her, placing an arm around her waist as he leaned close to place a kiss on the tip of her ear. She let out a pleased sigh, yet didn’t wake up. Yet.
“Good morning Princess,” He cooed, lightly peppering her neck with kisses while trailing his fingers over her bare side, from her ribs to her hip. This had the desired effect as Zelda started giggling softly from the affectionate touches.
“L-Link,” She breathed, sending a shiver down his spine. He loved it when she said his name, no matter what the circumstance was. “Waking up the Princess of Hyrule is a crime, you know. I could lock you up in the dungeons for that.” She added, and he laughed a little at that.
“I would be terrified if you hadn’t used that card a million times already,” He smiled teasingly, pulling his hand away as he pressed a kiss against her shoulder. “Besides, you asked me to wake you up, remember?” He added. Zelda let out a ‘hmph’ as she realized he was right. They had taken a few days off and had retired to Link’s house in Hateno, and today they were supposed to continue their travels, this time towards Gerudo Town. Supposed to.
“... Five more minutes,” She mumbled, blushing a little as she felt Link stare at her. As a Princess, she had never been able to explore the joys of sleeping in. Now? Now there was no way anyone was ever taking that away from her again. Princess Riju could wait another five minutes.
“Oh? Princess Zelda, refusing to wake up? What will the Kingdom say, once they get word of this scandalous act?” Link sighed dramatically, putting the back of his hand to his forehead. Zelda rolled her eyes and let out a chuckle.
“They don’t need to know, you know. Now go back to sleep, knucklehead, we can sleep a little longer,” She said, and she couldn’t help but smile at the undignified gasp it earned.
“Guardian Bait. Beefy Brain. Knucklehead. And here I thought you loved me,” He sighed again, shaking his head. Zelda could tell by his voice that he was joking of course, yet she couldn’t help but tease him a bit more. He had been so reserved at first, and she quite loved his playful side.
“Of course I love you, I love everything about you,” She said, looking over her shoulder at him with a warm smile, taking in his flustered expression. “Especially that one time where a guardian grabbed your ankle and held you upsi– ahh! Ahahaha! Link stohohop!” Zelda immediately burst into giggles and reached for his hand, which was currently tickling her side.
“There was no need for that! You know how embarrassing that was!” Link whined, which made her laugh a little harder. His hand wormed his way past her defense easily, as he gently scratched his nails against her stomach. The Princess shrieked and curled into a ball, letting out those giggles Link loved the most. He was suddenly painfully aware that they both were still naked as he pressed himself a little closer against her back, keeping her trapped against him.
“Eehehehee! There wahahahas! Your fahahace was so fuhuhunny! Nohohoho wait! Wahahait stohohop!!” She cried out when he wiggled his fingers a little faster to punish her. She didn’t have to look at him to know he was blushing, and decided it was worth it.
“Oh I’ll show you funny,” He playfully growled, going for the kill as he kneaded her hip. The Princess let out a loud cackle, rolling over to face him as she pushed against his shoulders.
“Lihihihink! Plehehehease stohohhoop! Ihihit tihihihickles!” Zelda shrieked when he moved his hand to scribble against her waist, pressing her forehead against his bare chest. He chuckled as her blonde hair tickled all over his collarbones.
“That’s the point, Princess,” He smirked, raising an eyebrow at her. “Are you sorry yet?” He asked, clearly giving her an ‘out’. She quickly nodded her head.
“I am I ahahaham! Now stohohohop!” She demanded through her giggles, and he finally relented with a shit-eating grin.
“There, now was that so hard?” He teased, earning himself a glare from her, followed by a smirk, and before he knew she had straddled him by sitting on his waist. The thin blanket had fallen to the side, and he couldn’t help but admire her naked body. Her long blonde hair dangling over her shoulders, her toned stomach, before his eyes eventually rested on her small, round breasts. A crimson blush spread on his cheeks as he felt his dick twitch and harden. Gods she was so beautiful.
“I may not throw you in the dungeons for waking me up early, but I’ll definitely punish you for this murder attempt,” She said, reaching out to grab his arms. “So now, you’re gonna put your arms behind your head and you’re gonna keep them there,” She ordered, sending another shiver down his spine.
“Ordering me around this early, huh? I guess you mean business,” Link chuckled, yet didn’t really resist that much as he put his arms behind his head. He was in the mood for a little challenge. And for whatever would follow.
“I always mean business,” She merely said before lightly dragging her nails down his strong biceps, which already made him shudder and bite back a laugh. While he had always tried to hide it, Link was stupidly ticklish. When Zelda found out about his little secret one night, she had decided to make him laugh with every opportunity she had, to ‘get rid of his stoic expression’, as she had phrased it. So it had become a daily routine between them, usually reserved for when they were alone.
“Ghkk… n-nice try Princess,” He said, trying to hide how badly it tickled. Unfortunately for him, Zelda knew how to read him by now, and she merely smirked.
“Oh but I’ve barely started,” She replied, moving her fingers down to lightly flutter into his underarms. The knight visibly jerked and started squirming on the bed, holding out for a few seconds before bursting into giggles.
“Ghk! Gah! Aha! Zelda that’s unfahahair!” He whined, trying his hardest to keep his arms locked in place. She knew how weak he was to gentle tickles, the cheater!
“All is fair in love, war and tickles,” She sang teasingly, scribbling her nails a little faster into his hollows before moving down to spider them over his ribs. This earned her a snort, followed by more frantic giggles.
“Zeldaahahahahahhaa!” He cried out, slightly arching his back under the ticklish touches. The urge to slam his arms to his sides was almost too powerful to resist, yet the challenge had lit a fire that made him hold out for now. Zelda smirked.
“What’s wrong? The mighty Hero can save all of Hyrule, but can’t deal with a few tickles?” She teased, scribbling her nails closer and closer towards his stomach. He closed his eyes and shook his head side to side, a massive grin spread over his face. He was caving and they both knew it. When Zelda decided to amp it up by raking her sharp nails down his abs, he let out a shriek and jerked his arms down, trying to curl up into a ball.
“BAHAHAHA! NOHHOHOHOHO!” He finally cried out, his arms wrapping around his stomach to hide his abs. The Princess let out an evil laugh.
“Aha! You pulled your arms down, which means you lose!” She declared smugly, skittering her nails all over his stomach and sides, whatever spot was vulnerable. Link threw his head back and let out a steady stream of deep-belly laughs, yet didn’t really try to stop her as he half-heartedly pushed against her arms. Zelda knew that if Link truly wanted to stop her, she’d have no chance to win. The fact that Link wanted to get tickled by her, and show his vulnerable side while laughing freely, just made her love him all the more.
“I SURREHEHEHEHENDER! YOU WIHIHIHIHIN!” He cried out, pushing one hand against her shoulder while the other gripped the blanket next to them. This only resulted in another shriek as she dug into his ribs, shaking her hands all over them.
“Do you give up? Do you really?” Zelda couldn’t help but giggle along with his laughter, shaking her hands a little longer before finally pulling away. “Now was that so hard?” She teased, earning a playful glare from him.
“Very funny, Princess,” He grunted with a smile, slowly catching his breath as he gently brushed his fingers over her thighs.
“I know something else that is hard,” Zelda said while raising an eyebrow with a smile, reaching backwards to brush her fingers over the tip of his dick, which was completely erect and desperate for attention at this point. Link shuddered violently and let out a soft moan. Finally.
“Ahh… Zelda, no teasing!” He whined as she lightly tickled her nails underneath the tip. Zelda giggled and continued.
“Aww but I thought you loved it when I do thi– oh!” She let out a surprised cry as Link suddenly switched position with her, gently yet firmly pinning her beneath him. He was in no mood to be teased.
“Zelda… may I... ?” He asked, always asking her permission first. When she nodded, he grabbed her thighs and pulled her closer to him. By the looks of it he hadn’t been the only one getting ‘ready’. He reached forward with his hand to flutter a single finger over her clit, and the moan it earned made him throb even harder.
“Link! Ahh, there’s n-no need! I’m ready!” She gasped, almost immediately trying to close her legs. Link smirked and continued the feather light touches, to both not take the risk of hurting her, and to give her a taste of her own medicine. After a short while, he rubbed the tip of his dick up and down against her folds, before slowly entering her. She let out a loud groan and wrapped her legs around his lower back.
“Shh… it’s okay, I won’t hurt you,” He promised, slowly and steadily starting to thrust inside of her. Zelda arched her back and reached to grab one of his hands, intertwining her fingers with his.
“I trust you,” She said with a smile, and it was all the confirmation he needed. He started to speed up, reaching up to gently rub one of her nipples. He knew exactly how she liked it.
“Ah! Link! Oh Link!” She moaned, closing her eyes shut as she took in all the different pleasuring sensations. Link was getting near, but he wanted her to come first, so had to hold out a little longer.
“Hah… I’m here love,” He growled, reaching his hand down to rub her clit in steady circles with his thumb while grabbing her hips with his other hand, to put her in a slightly elevated position. Now, with every thrust he was hitting her special spot.
“Ahh! Link, I’m gonna– ahh!” Zelda cried out, racing towards her orgasm from all the stimulation. Link smiled.
“Come for me, Zelda,” He cooed in such a sweet way, and it was exactly what she did. The Princess let out a cry of pleasure as she came, riding out the waves as Link kept up the fast pace. Moments later she felt him vibrate inside of her as he came too, lowly growling in pleasure. He kind of reminded her of a beast at that moment. Her beast. Link carefully pulled out of her, panting rather heavily as he laid himself down next to her.
“We should get ready to start our journey towards Gerudo Town,” He said, still sounding rather breathless. Zelda nodded.
“We also need to shower, especially you, since you’re covered in sweat,” She said, earning a grunt as confirmation. They looked at each other for a moment.
“Five more minutes?” They both said at the same time, bursting into laughter right after.
“Alright, five more minutes,” Link said with a chuckle, pulling her to his chest. They could afford to sleep five more minutes.
Needless to say, they arrived late.
