Bridal Carry
“Please stop getting shot, it stresses me out.”
“Oh, well, if you don’t like it—”
“Behave, the both of you.”
Sitting, slumped over yourself against a charred tree, wasn’t as painful as you’d thought it’d be, all things considered.
All things being the fact that there was currently an arrow embedded in your thigh. Luckily it hadn’t gone all the way through like last time, but it still hurt like a bitch to move your leg.
It’d been Time’s brilliant idea this morning to stay put for the day, and for a while it worked out great. Everyone had so far spent their time fishing or swimming at the nearby lake, or napping under the shade of a tree, or simply sitting back and relaxing for once. When lunchtime rolled around everyone split in pairs to find provisions, and when they returned, you’d decided to help Wild cook. However, the smell of fresh fish and foraged goods seemed to attract a few…unwanted guests. Long story short, monsters were killed, but a few of you suffered some fairly painful injuries. Legend was stabbed in the shoulder, Four was suffering some sort of head trauma, and you had an arrow in your leg.
Could have gone worse, in all actuality. There’d been a couple infected Bokoblins among the horde of beasts, and a silver Moblin. Apparently you were all in Wild’s Hyrule. Good to know.
“Hold still, Y/n,” Twilight said through gritted teeth, as he laid one hand flat on your thigh around the arrow, and grabbed the arrow by the shaft. Tendrils of burning pain shot through your nervous system as he did so, but you clenched your jaw and threw your hands over your face to hide the pained expression causing some of the others to worry.
“Here,” said a voice to your left, seconds before you felt someone’s hands peeling yours away from your face. Your eyes met Wild’s, and he gripped your hands firmly in his.
“On three,” Twilight said, looking up at you.
“We both know you mean two, Ran—SHIT!”
With a sickeningly wet sound, the arrow was swiftly pulled from your leg, and with the sudden flex of your hands, there was no doubt that you brought hell to Wild’s poor fingers. If it really had hurt him, he said nothing, but simply watched as Hyrule dove in with a cloth of some sort to slow the bleeding as his healing magic began to bathe his hands in a soft blue light.
“I also never said I was going to count it out loud,” Twilight said with an apologetic softness to his features, tossing aside the arrow after inspecting it for damage to indicate whether a part of it was still embedded in your skin or not.
You glared harshly at the hero, sure as rain that you’d come to see his logic later on, but hated him for it for now.
Soon after Hyrule’s hands began to glow, the sweet relief of coolness began washing over your muscles, and you could actually feel the fibres of your leg begin to mend like fabric. It was an odd sensation masked by a subtle coolness, but it brought such ease to your body that you let your head fall back into the trunk of the tree and sighed.
“Remind me to never take you for granted, ‘Rule,” you said through a sigh, earning a slight chuckle from the hero as the coolness dissipated, and you could once again move your leg in peace.
“It was nothing, Y/n,” the boy said sheepishly, raising his hand to scratch at the back of his neck. “It’s just what friends do.”
Sitting forward, you only just then realised that Wild had let go of your hands. For some reason that made your heart seem to want to beat a little slower, and you suddenly felt the need to make some kind of contact with him. So, under the excuse of swaying slightly, you shot your hand up to land on his outstretched arm. He gripped you tight in return, a worried pinch separating his brows.
“I don’t know what goes on in your era, ‘Rule, but I can’t name a single friend I have in mine who would even come within ten feet of me if I showed them that there was an arrow sticking out of my leg.”
This seemed to make Hyrule laugh, if only slightly, and he sat back with ease, bumping softly into Legend as he did so.
“Well then, call it a kind gesture from a friend.”
You nodded once, and was surprised to find yourself actually beginning to feel lightheaded. Wild seemed to have noticed, as did Warriors on your other side, who each shot a hand out to splay themselves flat against your back. Wild’s arm was still held out for you to hold your grip.
“Sorry, Y/n. Despite the healing process fixing up the flesh, you did still lose a good amount of blood between getting shot and pulling the thing out. Take it easy for a while—same goes for both Legend and Four.”
The two heroes, upon hearing their names, offered weak sounds of acknowledgment. Four gave a halfhearted thumbs-up.
“Let’s get these three back to the camp. Champion.”
Wild’s head looked up to face Time, but his body remained sturdy as a rock for you to hold on to.
“Yeah?”
“Got anything in that slate they can eat to get back on their feet? Four’s got a concussion, and Legend and Y/n need something to accommodate for the blood loss.”
Wild, oddly enough, seemed hesitant to release his grip on you, but after a moment’s stare from Time and Twilight, he slowly let your hand fall, and let Warriors take charge on keeping you upright. He pulled the Sheikah Slate from his hip, and began tapping at it.
“I might have to go and forage for something. Most of what I had went into lunch. Didn’t have much before that to begin with.”
Time looked briefly between you, Legend, and Four with a concerned twitch in his brows, before turning back to Wild.
“Then we’ll forage for now. Those of us who can will get closer to those peaks to fish in the river that seems to run through them. You say some of them have unique properties, Champion?” The hero nodded.
“Yeah.”
“Alright. Twilight, then, you’re coming with me to the peaks.”
From here the group started to split, Warriors taking the lead in getting you to your feet. Despite the pain in your leg being gone, it still felt as though you couldn’t trust it. You favoured it greatly for some reason, but with your absence of balance, you ended up falling into Wild. He caught you swiftly, his hands splayed out against your middle and back. Warriors copied the action on your other side.
“It’s not safe for them to walk like this,” Warriors commented, and he cast a glance at Legend. The vet also seemed to be having some balance issues, though he was much more stubborn than you were, and pried Hyrule’s and Sky’s hands off of him before falling forward into a bush. A string of curses fell with him, and he reluctantly let Time pull him to his feet.
“Should we carry them back to camp, then?” you heard Hyrule say, before Legend scoffed.
“Anyone carrying me back to camp gets kicked in their sleep,” he spat, before swaying slightly on his feet. Hyrule only rolled his eyes.
“Vet, you can’t even stand.” The traveller looked over at you, watching as Warriors left you in Wild’s hands to pick up your shield. “Can they be carried?”
Wild looked at you for a moment before you shrugged, honestly not minding either way. Being carried might go quicker, though. Legend could just ride Epona, or something.
“Arm over my shoulder,” Wild told you shortly, and you obliged. Then, in one surprisingly swift movement, the Champion had swooped with one hand behind your back and the other behind your knees, lifting you with ease into a bridal carry.
Warriors whistled at the display, and Sky looked over with a soft smile. You, however, were not expecting it nearly as much as you thought you were. Your hands flew behind Wild’s neck as you shrieked, pressing the left side of your body closer into his chest.
“Give a better warning, next time!”
Wild laughed unapologetically, bouncing you slightly in his arms as he did. In this moment he looked so carefree and—dare it be said—relaxed. Happy. It was hard to stay mad at him for long.
‘You’re lucky you’re cute when you smile,’ you thought.

I want the betrayal line “given your history, i should have known better” for nightmare >:)
(Also do you have ocs we make fanart of and do you have an oc that represents yourself that we can make fanart of ?)
I got an idea for this one >:3
“Given your history, I should have known better” Nightmare's datemate told him, reaching up to grab onto the tentacle that was holding onto them around their waist. “As if you even have the ability to love anymore, you asshole!” They snap at the last part.
Nightmare stares up at them, his tentacles shifting and curling around by themselves, other than the one that was holding onto them. What was happening? How did he get here?
His eyeshine shoots down to look at the tentacle that was holding them, then up at them again. He wanted to ask what Y/n was talking about; they had just been in his bed why were they... here?
Yet, he didn't say that. “Honestly, yes, you should have. You're just a little stupid human, why would I ever love something like that?”
No no no, that isn't what he wanted to say. What the hell was going on? Why wasn't he able to move his body? Y/n started to shout at him, a voice that he didn't expect to ever hear from them. Full of anger but also fear. What were they even saying? He couldn't make it out.
What he could make out though, was the sound of his tentacle going through them causing them to let out a pained sound, then they go limp in his other tentacle. Before he knew what to do, he regained the ability to move his body and he rushes forward. “Y/n!” he moves his hands over their stomach, trying to stop the bleeding.
No no no, this wasn't supposed to happen. Why would he attack them? They were his datemate.
“Because you hurt everyone. Idiot”
The new voice caught him off guard, and he turns his head just to see... himself? Standing there with his hands in his pockets, a smile on his face looking relaxed.
“Who are you?” he snaps in question. “Are you that annoying shapeshifter?”
“Not at all. I'm you, the best you. The one without them holding you back” the other Nightmare says, with a little laugh in his voice. Nightmare looks back, then down at Y/n again.
Ignore it. He should just ignore it. When he looked down though, his hands weren't covered in that goop. They were a pearly white but covered in the blood that was coming from Y/n's body. His sockets widen and he holds up his hands, looking at them. “What?” he whispers.
His sleeves were purple with golden accents.
These... These weren't his clothing. They couldn't be his; his clothing always got covered in that goop that covered his body no matter what he wore. He reaches up to touch where his socket used to be, then up.
Something was on his head... he pulled it off, looking at it and his sockets widen again when he saw it was the crown.
The one that he used to wear.
He tosses it away, and puts his hands back over his datemate's wound "Damn it, wake up already!" The sound of his own laughter started to fill his head, and he knew that his body was shaking.
He woke with a start, his breath coming in too fast. His ribs hurt from the intake of breath, and his eyeshine shoots around.
It was his bedroom... He turns his head, seeing his datemate laying in the bed beside him.
They were asleep.
He reaches over, pulling their shirt up a little to see that there was no wound in their stomach. He didn't wake them up... that's good.
He slides out of the bed and goes over to the bathroom to look himself in the mirror.
It was him... he sighs, rubbing at his face with his hands his tentacles twitching and jolting with each breath.
This is why he didn't sleep.

“Please, stay awake… please…” || @painforcain
"What, you are sorry now? Stay away from me, you fucking lunatic." Raven screamed and that costed him a whole lot of extra pain.
He was shivering uncontrollably and about to pass out.
It was obvious, it had to happen sooner or later: two reckless idiots with a thing for blades and blood, and doing drugs often leading them to totally unplanned scenarios.
Raven closed his fingers around the hilts of the blades, still stabbed into his chest. The view of it made him wish to take another bag of drugged blood and remain into the Dreaming some more.
He knew was going to end in shock, it was unavoidable. The pain, the blood loss, the damn damage. Cain had stabbed him awfully deep, surely both his lungs were pierces from side to side - breathing itself was getting excruciatingly painful. Was that meant to be a kind of lovingly embrace?
Raven focused on some techniques and slowed down his heart as much as he could. From the feel of it, at least that seemed undamaged.
He turned his head and coughed out blood. It tasted horrible, mixed to the insane cocktail he and Cain had been taking during the night. The muscle spasm that followed, made him blind for a few seconds.
"Ok, you do it. Take them off." Hour-long and painful healing was awaiting. That wasn't skin torn apart by whipping... Luckily Raven could remain without breathing for a long while.
He just hoped to pass out as quickly as possible.
"And you'd better get rid of those knives, because as soon as I recover I'm gonna stab them in your pretty eyes."
