(2) Revali/Mipha Au

"Can you believe? I gave him the greatest opportunity to see my amazing skills on display and nothing! Not even a clap! He didn't even batted an eye!"

Revali slumped against the rock Mipha was sitting, groaning in annoyance. The princess zora giggled at his dramatic antics, which worsened when she catched his glare, making her laugh louder. Mipha softened her gaze, her hand petting his feathered crest kindly; the rito stiffened at the contact, but soon after purred lowly at the affection.

"Revali, you have to understand you won't always gauge a reaction out of anyone you present yourself to." Her legs were swinging slightly, barely grazing the rito's shoulder. Even after her hand left his head he had no intention on moving away. Mipha hummed in thought. "Perhaps you should try and be more patient towards him next time."

He rolled his eyes at the suggestion and scoffed, straightening immediatly.

"How dare you believe he deserves my time spend on him!" He began pacing in front of her, his loud indignant voice lowering to non-stop muttering with his arms on his back.

Mipha didn't catch half of what he was saying, but she knew by then how dramatic he could get when his pride was hurt so she let him be.

It seemed since the first meeting, Revali had something against the hylian champion and she couldn't tell why. She knows the rito respects and speaks no ill about the princess since he recognizes her struggles and the will to do better, something that is well appreciatted among ritos. But the mystery remains on the despise he holds for Link.

'Link', she thought, her heart fluttering. 'I wonder how you're doing.’

It has been quite the time since she last saw him, and was missing him terribly. She knew he was coming the next month or so as the appointed knight of the princess since herself and the chief from Kakariko village were keeping track of the progress each of the champions had with their divine beasts.

The king allowed it with the possibility of his daughter to finally awaken her sealed powers with the magic the divine beasts possesed from the goddess herself.

'The king doesn't have to know is ancient technology, not magic.' she thought grimly. This was an escapade for princess Zelda from her tiring training and duties, and the champions silently agreed to keep it as a secret from the king so she could have a little freedom.

"Are you even listening?"

‘‘Oh! I’m sorry.’‘ Revali was glaring at her and huffed indignant.

‘‘And here I am pouring my thoughts on you and you dare to ignore me!’‘ he gave a tight laugh. ‘‘After all the trouble of coming here I did not expect for you to turn away the helpless like this.’‘

Mipha stiffed a laugh of her own and covered up with a cough.

‘‘Oh, forgive me, Master Revali.’‘ she bowed slightly, a hand on top of her heart. ‘‘ My fault for not taking advantage of this opportunity at your presence. Oh, master, what should I do to earn your forgiviness?"

Mipha knew she was on thin layer when she dared to mock the title earned by his village, but she couldn't help it. Pestering Revali was one of her highlights since meeting the rito, and she knew when to step off when her words get too far.

"Oh, now I'm master Revali?" He asked, raising a brow. His voice held no venom so that was a good sign. "Hmp, well deserved if you ask me." He hesistated a moment before continuing. "But if you insist on this...nonsense of apology, the only way I will accept is if you bring me that delicious gourmet food you gave me on my last visit."

Mipha blinked, puzzled, trying to remember what he was refering to.

"The Salmon Meunière?" She asked.

Revali nodded eagerly to her amusement.

"If you bring it for today's dinner, I'll gladly accept your apology."

"I don't think I can do that, though. As much as I would like to 'earn' your forgiviness, we can't afford to catch a Hearty Salmon because those fishes don't live in our waters. I'd need to arrange a trade with the nearby villages outside the domain."

The rito slumped again against the rock like minutes ago, sighing tragically. He covered half of his face with his right hand, watching the zora princess under the last rays of the sunset, casting a soft glow around her frame.

'Pretty.'

At the sudden thought he groaned, his feathers puffing in embarrasment. With his left hand he smoothened them before she could notice.

"I thought you had any kind of fish here in your kingdom." He grumbled, feeling his face slightly hot.

"Not everyone has everything that easily." She answered with a sigh. "Last time I had the knowledge you were coming to visit beforehand, so I had time to make preparations for your arrival."

His heart beated harder at the sudden question popping on his head. Gulping his nerves, he dared to ask.

"D-did, did you get the Hearty Salmon just because I was coming?"

Curse his stutter. He couldn't feel more embarrassed at his despair of finding an answer to give him hopes.

'Hopes to what?'

"Of course, Revali."

When his eyes met hers, he swore to the goddess above his heart was about to leap out of his chest. Her sweet and kind smile, and her eyes holding undescriptable affection overwhelemed him.

She opened her mouth to keep talking, but a sudden shout startled both of them, turning around to see a tiny zora running up to them.

The young zora almost tripped on his own tail before gaining balance again and waving his hand towards Mipha.

"Big sis! I did it!" the young one shouted, his smile bright and wide.

Although he stopped just before getting to her, noticing the presence of Revali standing there, watching him with surprise in his eyes.

Feeling intimidated, he took a step backwards, glancing back and forth between his big sister and the weird bird, silently asking for help in this situation.

Sensing the stress of her little brother, Mipha took her trident in hand and made a motion to step down the rock.

"Allow me."

Revali's wings wrapped gently around her waist, gripping her firmly yet with gentleness. His hands lingered on her form even after her feet touched the ground, but if Mipha noticed she didn't say a thing.

"Come here, Sidon. There's nothing to fear." She kneeled, opening her arms. Sidon hesitated for a moment, glanced at Revali one more time before taking a run towards the embrace of her sister.

"Who is he?" He asked once feeling safer between her arms.

Revali glared at the young zora, the prince, offended. Has Mipha never spoken about him before?

"Oh!" Sidon opened his eyes wide, escaning his from head to toe. Being under his stare was making him nervous. "Is he your fiancé?"

Revali zeroed at that, his eyes wide with surprise and mouth agape at the unexpected question. He watched Mipha froze too, her cheeks tinted in blue from the blush.

"No, Sidon. He is a trusted friend of mine." She replied calmly, rubbing his head lovingly.

Sidon hummed, his golden eyes never leaving Revali.

‘‘Can you fly?’‘

‘‘Well, obviously. I’m a rito after all, and the best there is!’‘ he boasted proudly, extending his wings. On a quick motion, he activated his gale, elevating him through the sky to show off his skills, twirling in the air gracefully.

Sidon woed at that, his eyes shining in wonder.

‘‘I like him!’‘ Sidon stated, jumping excitedly, watching him land in front of them. Mipha smiled at that. ‘‘Can he stay forever? I want to learn how to fly too!’‘

‘‘Dear, you need to learn how to swim up waters before that. Perhaps... flying could be another lesson for the future.’‘ She lied, petting his head. Sidon pouted at that.

‘’I’ll make sure you become the best flying zora out there, prince. No one will match your speed!’‘ Revali declared, crossing his arms on his back with a smirk on his face. ‘’Perhaps you will outdo me, but we will have to see.’’

Sidon inmediatly cheered, jumping onto Revali’s leg excitedly, giggling at the rito’s reaction of the sudden attachment.

‘’Thank you.’‘ Mipha mouthed, smiling. Revali’s heart jumped, puffing out his chest proudly.

‘‘Go on, prince, you were going to speak to your sister when you arrived. Please let go of my leg.’‘

To his relief, Sidon detached himself from the rito at the reminder and went to Mipha, speaking loudly about his improvement swimming up a waterfall.

The princess zora was listening to him carefully, her smile proud and wide for the accomplishments of her little brother.

Revali felt his heart warming, gazing softly at the way Mipha laughed at something Sidon had said. Their eyes meet briefly, and the rito champion realized with dread what was bothering him for so long.

‘Love.’ was the only thing in mind when he thought of Mipha.
