#little bit of angst

The request asked for a beauty and the beast au for sidlink, and i debated long and hard on who was who (especially after I wrote Wild), but I ended up putting Link as Belle and Sidon as the Beast because I was pretty sure that’s what the requester meant. I had a really hard time writing this so it’s pretty bad, sorry.

Link’s brows furrowed as he focused on the wound before him. He dunked the washcloth into the bowl of water beside him, carefully dabbing it over the scratches on Sidon’s arm. The prince hissed as it made contact with his skin, jerking away. Link glanced up in frustration at Sidon, placing the washcloth in the bowl.

“It hurts!”

“It wouldn’t hurt so much if you stopped moving!”

Sidon offered nothing in reply, opting instead to glance out the window. Below the remains of the Zora’s Domain continued to deteriorate and gather dust. It had been destroyed and abandoned since the curse. Only the statue of Mipha showed any signs of being maintained. He flinched, turning his head back around. Link had gotten up and was shuffling through a bag, looking for bandages.

Link walked back over, taking a seat beside Sidon and grabbing his wounded arm. Carefully, Link wrapped the bandages around the wound, sneaking a glance at Sidon. The prince’s eyes were clouded, gazing off into the distance. Even after Link had finished, he said and did nothing. Link waved his hand in Sidon’s face, finally getting a response.

Sidon blinked and looked down at the hylian. Link huffed and crossed is arms, looking as if he were waiting for something. “Did you…did you ask me a question?” Sidon asked, confused. Link sighed, shaking his head as he stood up again.

“See, this is why you keep getting hurt.You’re always spaced out.”

“The first time was to protect you!” Sidon weakly protested.

“Only the first time.”

Link grabbed Sidon’s arm and brought the wound to his lips. Sidon went rigid, staring at him in wonder. Out of all the times Sidon has returned injured, Link had never done anything like that before. Slowly, Link lifted his head back up, refusing to look Sidon in the eye. He grabbed the bag he used as a makeshift first aid kit and began scooping the access materials into it. Just as he finished, he felt arms around his waist. He was about to protest before he felt Sidon bury his head into Link’s shoulder. He could feel the prince’s smile around his neck as the “tail” on his head wagged, brushing against the hylian’s hair.

Link was lifted up, and this time he did protest, but Sidon didn’t seem to hear any of it. He was brought over to the bed Sidon had been sitting on when Link was treating his injury. He collapsed onto it, hylian in hand, and snuggled up against Link. He mentally went through all the reasons why he shouldn’t be enjoying being so close to his captor, but it all went out the window when he saw the look on Sidon’s face.

The prince had already fallen asleep, but his lips remained curled in a carefree grin. Slowly, Link raised a hand and cupped the side of his face, letting it trail down to the side of his neck before removing it. Giving in, Link leaned against Sidon’s shoulder, glancing out the window for any sign of the sun. The sky was mostly pitch black, but a single line of blue coats the horizon.

The morning would be here soon, but for now, Link supposed he could remain like this for a little while longer.

Prompt: Forehead/Nose Kisses
