Hyrule Vet

sorry this is a bit late 😅. my youngest is sick (it's just a cold, thank the gods) but ive been pretty busy as of late and just got the time to edit this one after he went to sleep. happy early thanksgiving, and happy post a wip saturday! this entire au, actually, is inspired by the show Bondi Vet, which my youngest actually loves watching with me because he likes the animals, and I saw this one vet on there and just went "No, yeah, that's Twilight. Hundred percent." so you get a small bit from the larger au of that.

Hope you enjoy it and sorry for this being late!

It might have been, just a tad, unprofessional to admit; but Twilight got even more worried when he pulled up to that ever too familiar bungalow, with an overgrown yard of wild flowers he'd told that poor kid to cut every time he was called over there. Grass undistinguishable from the tall, fenced in, garden of growing rice.

He didn't know how many times he'd have to tell this kid to hire somebody to come and lay a perimeter around his house, considering how openly against extermination he was. It's why he called Ordon Pest & Critter Control. They were very openly, very strictly, catch and release.

But Twilight was a hairsbreadth from changing that policy if he got one more call from this damn address.

He grabbed his bearings, cutting the engine and slamming the door to his faded pick-up a little too hard. He frowned at the almost completely gone logo painted across the back two doors.

How long had it been? Since he and Fado had started this little company?

"This truck was bought brand new when we did," Twilight laughed to himself as he had to fight with the tailgate to grab his tools.

Just a snake pole and a bag, unless there were anymore spiders that wild animal was "keeping as a pet" under a Tupperware bowl. Sweet golden goddess, did Twilight think the call to animal control was for /him/ when he first got to the place.

He knocked on the oak door, listening to how his raps echoed through the mortuary silence of the bungalow.

"come in," a tiny voice cheeped from inside, and that was all Twilight needed to turn the handle.

The sunlight shone through, lighting the room much better than the floor lamp next to the forest green couch the kid sat on, shaking like a leaf.

Twilight raised an eyebrow, flicking on the overhead.

"You didn't even turn on the lights?"

Faron shook his head, golden threads of it whipping him in the face.

"I haven't left my spot on the couch since I saw it," he whispered like he was hiding from the snake, his tenor voice barely above a breath's volume.

"Did you see what kind it was?" He nodded.

"Poisonous?" He nodded again.

Twilight adjusted his grip on the snake pole. He cleared his throat as to not let his next sentence shake with concern.

"Do you know where it is?" His drawl still bent a bit, mid sentence. He wanted to see him nod, to see those bangs and curled hairs bounce as he flung his head hard enough to give himself whiplash.

Instead, he shook it. Slowly, cautiously, gauging Twilight's response as he gave his deafening, resounding, No.

"Great. Fantastic. Well, what was it?" Faron gulped.

"Horned Breakneck. Er-- Viper, I think. I...I was trying to catch it while it was in the garden but it was too fast. I didn't know it went into the house until about an hour later." Twilight stared at him in angered disbelief, eyes wide.

"You tried to catch it? Why??"

"It gets lonely," he said with an embarrassed frown.

No wonder everyone calls him 'Wild'

"Alright," Twilight stood tall. Hefting his snake pole in hand and his bag in the other. "Get your slippers on, lets catch this thing." Wild paused, staring at Twilight in concern.

"As in... Together?"

"Yes, together! It's your house and your fault the snake's in it. I'd have a bit more sympathy if it had just found its way in like that Tunneling Ironback the other day or...Hylia, the Thunderwing hornets nest you had Groose handle last month." Wild bit his lip, looking a little ashamed at how often he'd called Ordon Pest recently.

"But this was brought in here 100% by you, and I'm doing a favor by doing 90% of bringing it out. Now come get this bag, and help me 'round your house."

"It's your job to get it out," Wild grumbled, yet still slipped on his shoes, and grabbed the bag from Twilight's hand.

Confession

A short Legend/Hyrule fluff fic! Kissing, love confessions, very soft stuff in here... It’s what they deserve.

Word Count: 1,857

Summary: Legend has a crush on Hyrule and a confession is in order.

Everything about the day was ordinary, from the bright rise of the sun to the bird song to the gentle teasing that echoed through camp. Everything was just as it had been the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that…

But something had changed, drastically, and it left a warm fullness in Legend’s chest he couldn’t shake.

A smile had been on his lips before he even fully woke, tugging at the corners and only growing against his will as the comfort of the dream--a good dream, impossibly, and he knew exactly why now--faded away. It was a bit chilly that morning, but the cold air did nothing to the burning candle within, no breeze able to extinguish it.

Smiling was out of character for him, he knew he had to stop to keep the barriers around his heart raised. The thing was, his prickly attitude hadn’t done it’s job. He’d let someone in, or perhaps they’d picked the locks when he let his guard down, he wasn’t sure. All he knew was a few days ago, he could’ve looked at the curious boy with auburn hair that shone gold in the sun and eyes that glittered like emeralds, and he wouldn’t have felt a thing. Friendship, kinship even, and there had always been affection. But not the fire that burned now, not the flutter of his heart at that small timid smile or the joy at the soft laughs that shook his frame. Not the dreams of held hands, laying side by side with mussed hair, exploring side by side as his eyes lit up in wonder that softened the hardness of his heart.

Legend was not soft, he didn’t fall in love. He didn’t.

His eyes fell on Hyrule from across camp, the way his hair stuck up at every angle, and Legend knew he was screwed.

Alright, so he had a crush. Fine. It wasn’t love, not yet. He was adamant as he packed his bedroll, as he sat for breakfast and forced the smile that wanted to split his face down.

He was happy, and it was strange and wonderful all at once. He didn’t want to lose the feeling, he wanted to hold fast to the fleeting images of his dream, of his realization. Wanted to protect the newfound warmth that spilled from his chest to his arms, hands, ears.

Hyrule sat beside him as they ate and Legend resisted the urge to stiffen, to move away as warmths from the traveler’s leg radiated against his. So close, barely an inch or two and they’d be touching. Pleasant tingling prickled from his leg up his spine, building the heat on his ears. Hryule’s elbow bumped his and the boy squeaked in surprise, turning a sweet, apologetic smile on Legend that nearly melted him where he sat.

“Sorry, I sat a bit close, didn’t I?” Hyrule said, scooting a few more inches away on the ground. Legend almost asked him to stay, but he held his tongue.

The feeling wouldn’t dissipate even as the morning turned to afternoon, and Legend’s refusal to let go surely had to do with it. Images from the dream were fading, but their warmth remained. Legend wasn’t sure whether he was relieved or scared by this development, but Hyrule walked beside him in pleasant silence and the stolen glances only spurred him on.

What he wouldn’t give to feel their fingers brush against each other, to reach out and hold Hyrule’s hand. What he wouldn’t give to have the bright grin and laugh Hyrule gave Wind’s eccentric story turned on him. He wanted to pull the traveler away, to find some secluded hill and lay side by side, to lean over and press a kiss against his forehead, his cheeks, his--

“You alright there, Vet?” Twilight’s voice at his side startled him out of his thoughts, a fierce blush heating his cheeks as he turned guiltily to the older man. Twilight’s teasing smile was enough to muster a glare, though Legend knew his irritation was falling flat.

“Fine, thank you very much.” Legend grumbled, sounding pathetic even to his own ears.

Twilight glanced over at Hyrule and Wind, the traveler caught up in the younger’s story still. Then those sharp eyes were trained on Legend once more, knowing, and Legend squirmed.

He tensed, ready for the disapproval, the shaming--but Twilight only winked.

“Good luck,” the pelted hero whispered, clapping him on the back far too strong, his smile hardly reassuring.

Legend couldn’t muster a response before Twilight retreated to Wild’s side, hoping his wavering glare would be enough to burn him for the intrusion.

The approval was unexpected and did nothing to lessen Legend’s caution. He’d just discovered these feelings, the newness tingling within him, energy nearly too much to contain. He hadn’t felt this way in a long time, and the last time he’d pursued a crush hadn’t ended well. He’d been actively avoiding his feelings for a certain merchant for that very reason, keeping the race of his heart under lock and key when Ravio’s stilted giggles reminded him of how smitten he was. Legend hadn’t been expecting to fall for someone else, let alone on an adventure, and that’s precisely how Hyrule had managed to sneak his way in.

Now the only issue would be appearing normal in the face of such overwhelming fondness.

Twilight had other plans.

Legend knew there was something going on with him and Wild. He knew the man was sharp, that he was always watching--and perhaps Twilight had known of Legend’s crush before he did. Whatever the case, Legend’s heart sank to his stomach when he caught sight of Twilight whispering something to Time as they set up camp that evening, a mischievous glint in his eye.

“Legend, Hyule,” Time approached, leader voice on, and Legend tensed for the worst. “Why don’t you two go collect some firewood for tonight?”

It could have been worse, but by Hylia it could have been better. Twilight winked at him again and Legend seethed, already planning his revenge as Hyrule nodded to Time.

They set out, side by side, and Legend’s skin itched with the desire to close the gap. He couldn’t--wouldn’t. There were a million reasons why, but the one at the top of his list was Hyrule deserved better. All those smiles and laughs, sharing meals and walking side by side, it meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. Comforting Hyrule after nightmares, and the time Hyrule had moved to sleep beside him after he’d had one of his own… Friends did that. His crush was just friendship, even though he knew the burning inside meant something far different.

He could deny it all he wanted to, but he liked Hyrule far more than just a friend would.

“Uh, Legend?” Hyrule’s voice was so soft he nearly didn’t catch it, as buried as he was in his own thoughts. The traveler looked up at him with nervous eyes that quickly flitted away, his hands clasped tightly, shoulders raised. “C-Can I ask you something?”

Legend’s stomach flipped anxiously, breath catching in surprise. He’d rarely seen Hyrule so nervous, and he at once ached to comfort him and prickled with the urge to run. He swallowed his fear, ignored the frantic beat of his heart and the rage of the flame in his chest, finally managing a stiff nod.

Hyrule stopped and Legend ground to a stop by his side, frozen as Hyrule shifted his weight from foot to foot. His cheeks and ears burned red, his lip was caught between his teeth, his eyes fixed on a point to the side. Legend resisted the urge to reach out.

“I think I…” Hyrule’s gaze flicked up to him again, eyes sparkling beautifully before they turned away once more. “I think I have a crush.”

The warmth was snuffed so quickly, Legend wondered if it had been an illusion. The ice that filled him was swift but he beat it back, working to put on a smile, however shaky it might be.

“That’s great, ‘Rule. Whoever it is, they’d be very lucky to have you.” Legend cursed his voice for wavering, cursed his heart for clenching painfully and choking his words off. He should be happy for Hyrule, happy that he was happy.

Hyrule’s nervous bouncing had stopped, emerald eyes searching his face, confusion clear within them. “Legend, I…”

Legend looked away, he couldn’t bear to watch as Hyrule shattered his heart. He’d just discovered this crush, he’d be fine, he’d recover. He’d gotten good at burying his feelings anyway, he was practiced at it in fact. Sure, the next couple weeks would suck, but he’d be--

Hands grabbed roughly at his tunic, pulling him down, and Legend’s eyes widened in surprise as soft lips pressed against his forehead. It was fleeting, but the spark of heat traveled from his head to his toes in an instant as Hyrule pulled back. His blush was bright red, hands letting go but still resting on his chest, and oh, how was Legend supposed to think through all the emotion and warmth bubbling inside him.

“I have a crush on you,” Hyrule whispered, a small smile curling at his lips as he held Legend’s eyes, green and blue, crashing tides. “I understand if you don’t feel the same, I-I just can’t… I can’t keep pretending--”

Legend remembered how to move, and in the next second Hyrule was laughing against his chest as he pulled the smaller against him. He rested his cheek on head, breathing in the familiar scent of pine and smoke and earth, making his head spin and his heart race. Hyrule was just as warm as he imagined but now it was real, solid against him until he could feel their twin heartbeats and each breath against his throat. It was wonderful and real and Legend could hardly believe it--couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so thoroughly happy.

“I feel the same,” Legend whispered, revelling in the shiver that ran through Hyrule as his hands found the soft hair at the base of his neck.

“I’m glad!” Hyrule laughed, so happy--and that was his doing, wasn’t it?

He felt so impossibly happy it ached, but the smile that wouldn’t leave his face was a joy he could never resist.

There were whoops and cheers when they walked back to camp later, hand in hand and blushing furiously, but even still Legend wouldn’t trade his love for the world.

The brush of their shoulders at dinner, the press of their legs between them was as grounding as it was distracting, his blush and smile never fading.

And finally, settling side by side that night, Hyrule’s back pressed against his chest as he held him close. Buried his face in the back of his neck and held onto the hand clasped in his own.

He’d had a wonderful dream the night before, and all dreams must come to an end.

Legend grinned as he fell into another, knowing it could never be better than what he’d wake up to.
