Warrior Soulmate Au

Another commission!

They wanted a different type of soulmate au. The concept is explained in the fic. It’s going to be Warrior centered although other are mentioned. I hope you enjoy!

Masterlist

Content under the cut!

Warrior wasn’t sure what to think about this endeavor. When he was visiting Skyloft again for the second time in his life, he was sure that it would have been less confusing than the first. He wasn’t sure how many times this would happen.

If he had a rupee for every time he went through a portal and ended up on an island in the sky, he would have two rupees. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Or well…. They’re well past that point, aren’t they?

Sky explained the concept simply enough.

There’s a magic cave where you enter it. That’s step one. It’s the easiest and frankly, the only part.

The second part is where he’s already lost.

What’s supposed to happen is that you walk into the crystal cave and see the reflection of your soulmate along the walls. Occasionally you can hear them speak to you but usually it’s sight alone.

That’s not what happened to him.

When he walked in, there was nothing in sight. Things were silent and the only reflection he saw was his own. That was mildly disappointing- heartbreaking if he was being honest with himself. Warrior liked to consider himself a romantic at heart and he had always wanted to have someone to love. The idea that there would have been someone for him was enough to get his heart pounding and his hopes soaring.

Only to have them dashed.

Trying to get his emotions in check before he met up again with the others, he started to look around. He wouldn’t have been able to tell you why. Warrior could see that there was nothing there for him of interest.

There were stalagmites above him and stalactites coming up to meet him. Many were chipped and others were slowly regrowing. One was already broken and shimmering- beckoning him closer to it. It was suspicious.

He steps closer and he looks around again. There’s still the screaming silence around him- it’s almost agonizing to be near it. The only thing to puncture this otherwise rising sense of panic is a steady drip drip drip of some water bubbling from a crack in the wall he can not see. It silences only after he picks up the stone.

Feeling only marginally unsettled and otherwise heart broken, he turns on his heel and walks out of the cave.

“Did you see anyone?” Wild asks him first. He gets to his feet, bravely stepping forward to see if Warrior could provide any answers to their questions.

Warrior gulps- trying his best to keep the emotions off of his face. “I did not.”

Sky tilts his head. “You probably already met them then.”

Warrior’s head snaps in his direction. Hyrule flinches from the corner of his eye. It seems as if the crack in his bones was audible to more than just him.

Sky nods back at him, undisturbed by the developments. It appears that this has happened before. “If you’ve met them before, then you don’t see them since you technically already know what they look like. There’s still ways for you to find them even if you don’t know by now.”

Warrior grips the stone in his hand a bit tighter. He hasn’t mentioned it and Sky didn’t mention it in his explanation. Slowly, Warrior begins to hold his hand up with the stone. He wants to ask about it. He wants to know if there’s any chance for him to have the family and love life he actually wants.

“It’s ok, Warrior.” You say, softly. He turns to you and his heart melts at the sight. You looked so lovely in the sunlight. You looked at him kindly, a look he’s grown starved of, and you smiled. You smiled and it’s beautiful. “If you’ve met them already, then that means that they're out there for you. They’re probably already waiting for you to come home.”

Warrior could cry. He pockets the gem. “Thank you.”

Legend goes in next and it’s clear that by the time he comes out that he is not ok. His eyes are red rimmed and blood shot. “I heard her….”

“Oh!” Wind shoots up, happy to hear the news before he realizes the context of that statement. “Oh.”

Warrior can feel his own emotions become hard to swallow as a result. Legend sniffles. “It’s been so long since I heard her…”

Sky gets up from his comfortable and amused position. “Legend…. What happened?”

“...She’s dead…”

Soulmate exploration stops shortly after that.

Warrior fiddles with the stone as he rests his head for the night. The thoughts are thundering, racing and catastrophizing within his head.

He’s already met them. And he didn’t even know. Granted, his world, his era, doesn’t have soulmates- at least, not in any way they would be able to tell that they exist. Perhaps they did and merely lost the way to tell who belonged to each other in a way that compliments them best.

But Warrior has met so many people. He’s lost so many people. He doesn’t know what exactly happened to Legend for him to react the way that he did. But Warrior certainly didn’t hear any voice. Even then, where would the voice come from? It’s not like would have had-

“Link…” Warrior freezes. The blood in his veins goes cold, even as his heart begins to race. That’s… That’s your voice. Is this what Legend heard? The Vet wasn’t crazy?

“Link… Hold me. Let me love you.” You say quietly. “Let me shower you in the love that you deserve. I just want to be within your arms. I want to know your hopes and dreams.”

Warrior can feel the blood rush through his body. He can’t help the agonized groan that leaves him as you continue speaking sweet nothings only to him. How is he going to look you in the eye after this?

If he was in denial over his feelings for you before, this was the final nail in the coffin that this was something he wanted to hear. From you as well.

Warrior can feel his mind racing with ideas and fantasies already. He doubts he’s going to sleep at all tonight.

***

You found yourself in a similar position.

“I want to kiss you softly.”

“I want to run my hands through your hair.”

“Your skin looks so soft… softer than anyone else I’ve seen.”

“If I had only a moment to run my hands over your body.”

You squealed with that one. Loud and high pitched. In an attempt to save face and shut off the voice from continuing, you had smothered yourself with the pillow from the inn you were in, thankful that you had one to yourself for the night. Your face has been beat red the entire time since you’ve returned.

The voice only seemed to be quiet when you were near the Captain himself. It was a blessing in disguise. Your raging crush on the man seemed to be the only thing you managed to hide from him. He had the ability to read you like an open book otherwise.

It was both endearing and infuriating.

He seemed to always be two steps ahead of you and was always making sure you were both taken care of and comfortable. It was more attention than you were used to and it was.. Nice. Pleasant, even.

It helped that he was also effortlessly charming. And strong and dependable and handsome- god, he is so handsome. Gorgeous some might say.

You got him to open up and you can’t say that to him. Not when it could cause problems. You have to be quiet. You have to help him. Make things easier for him. He already does so much.

“I want to ram you against the wall with my hands in your hair and my lips against yours-”

You scream again. Silence is no longer an option.

How is this possible? Is this what’s been going through his head? Is this what he’s thinking about you right now? Is this what he’s going to do when you see him again?

Your saliva feels thick in your throat. Your entire face is on fire and you can’t bring yourself to keep your head up or so much as take your hands away from your face. You can’t even bring yourself to toss the stone away.

Instead, you stretch your arm out and put the stone on the bed side table. You slide down from the bed and sit down with your back firmly pressed against it. The stone makes a quiet and almost innocent click as it hits the wood from the table.

“Let me hold you close. I want to feel your heartbeat. I want to hold you with your legs around my waist, simply getting lost in the way you taste-”

“Oh my god! Shut up!” You cry out, going so far as to cover your ears with your hands.

Warrior calls out your name and you hear it despite your efforts. You’re not sure if your heart can take much more of this. You want to shut him out and want him to stop. But you also want to hear more. You want him to continue and you want to hear more about him and what he thinks and what he yearns for…. And what he wants to do to you.

Because of that you find yourself staying awake even as the sun begins to rise. You have no idea how the others of the group are faring or if they can hear the same thing you can but sleep does not come easy for you. Sleep evades you at every turn and Warrior is right there whispering sweet nothings into your ear.

The sun comes much too quickly and not fast enough.

You pull yourself out of the room and run your hands over your face. You feel light headed and dizzy. The smack of reality had thrown you for three loops and continued to smack your face until you couldn’t see straight.

“Hey good morning-” Four raises his hand to greet you before his entire demeanor changes. His face drops and so does his arm. He almost stands in his chair to get a better look at you as he turns around fully. “Oh my god, you look horrible.”

You glare at him and tear a chair away from the table the group sits at. “Thanks. Good morning to you too.”

“Are you ok?” Wind leans over the table, concern written all over his face. “Did you even sleep?”

“Nope!” You reply with a false chipper attitude, even popping the ‘p’ as you speak. “I mean… I think I slept a total of one hour and had to just give up.”

Sky passes behind you and you can feel him drape his sailcloth over you. “You know… I can talk to Time. And we can have an easy day today. Maybe stay here on the surface? A lot of the others aren’t necessarily faring any better than you are. You can try and go back to sleep if you’d like.”

“I’d like that.,” You admit. “But I’m also very hungry since I’ve been awake and haven’t eaten since last night.”

“Let me take you in. Let me be encompassed by you. I want to see your future. I want to make your dreams a reality. I want to make you mine.” The stone starts up again and you give up. You slam your head on the table. Multiple plates clink and jump a bit from the impact but you’re undeterred. You don’t lift your head up.

Time can see it from the end of the table. Looking over the other boys, Time is keenly aware that at least half of them are out of commission of the day and maybe tomorrow as well if things continue as they are. He sighs. “We’ll stay here. Try and gather more information. And more supplies if they’re available.”

“Oh thank god.” Wild sighs and also lets his head hit the table, just not as hard as you did. “I did not have the energy to fight today.”

“I know.” Time says quietly. “I can see that.”

You resist the urge to groan alongside Wild. Such a valid point. He makes so much sense. What year is it again?

Warrior comes down the steps.

You can tell because Legend announces it. “About time you finished up your beauty sleep, pretty- good god you look like hell.”

“Thanks.” Warrior sits down somewhere at the table. “I just got back.”

You swear you can almost feel when his eyes land on you. It’s almost as if the whole table is waiting for your interaction even if you know the boys couldn’t care less. Judging by their previous reaction, you figured they can’t hear the stone like you can. Which is both a blessing and a curse.

Warrior tilts his head and pokes the top of yours. “Hey…Are you ok?”

Your heart begins to pound against its cage and you consider not raising your head and just ignoring the man of your fantasies for the rest of your life. But he speaks quietly and sincerely. He doesn’t know any better and your avoidance wouldn’t be fair to him. And if you were being honest with yourself, it’s not a notion you would be able to survive.

You sigh and lift your head up. Warrior looks just about as tired as you feel. With dark circles under his eyes, his hair sticking up in multiple places and a heavy sag to his shoulders. Everything about him gives way to exhaustion. You cough and rub your eyes. “I’m fine. I had a bad night. I barely slept at all. So I can’t say I’m functioning right now.”

You don’t know how you manage to do it- your own exhaustion must outweigh your shame. “I also heard you all night so that was fun.”

YOUR SHAME IS OUT THE WINDOW. WHY DID YOU SAY THAT?

Belatedly, it clicks in your head that it was the wrong thing to say and now everyone is more or less looking at you.

Wind tilts his head. “You…could hear Warrior?”

“Yup.” You at least have the decency to blush. Through pure determination alone, you managed to avoid eye contact. Wild takes mercy on you and places your breakfast in front of you. You begin to busy yourself with that instead.

“How?” Twilight frowns. “He was three doors down from you and on the other side of the hall.”

You shrug. “He wouldn’t shut up, that’s for sure.”

Warrior glares for a moment before he huffs and sags down completely. He pushes his fist to his cheek and looks back at you, unamused. “Well I couldn’t hear as well. I heard all sorts of things.”

Now you look back up, only beginning to feel the minor mortification of whatever he’s implying. “Oh yeah? And what did you hear exactly?”

Now Warrior blushes and he looks away. He takes a moment to think about it before he swivels his gaze back to you. He meets you head on. “Do you really want to run your hands through my hair?”

You jump up, standing out of your chair and hit the table in the process. This is bad. This is bad. Act fast. Get the attention off of you. “Do you really want to pin me to the wall?!”

Multiple gazes turn toward the two of you now. Even from those outside of the group who just happened to be in the inn at the same time. Warrior’s face falls and he blushes beautifully. You have half the mind to remember that face. Maybe you can get him there again at a later date. Right now though, you’re too mortified at the thought that he went through the same thing you did.

Warrior coughs and actually covers his face. “Hey now…”

“Oh my god….” Your voice comes out scandalized. “You do!?’

“Hey! You’re the one who said that you love to bite my neck!” Warrior also stands up, getting louder as a result of his embarrassment and subsequent call out. “This isn’t all about me here!”

“I did not!” You screech.

“Oh yes, you did! Among other things I had to hear all night long.” Warrior points a finger at your face.

“You were not any better!” You fired back. “If I wouldn’t be embarrassed on your behalf I would say them right back to you.”

“Well thank you for that kind consideration!”

Sky starts laughing and you both calm down enough to look at him. Looking around you see Wind and Four with their faces in their hands- their ears tipped with a bright pink color. Legend and Hyrule look mildly horrified at the information they learned about their friends, which they did not ask for. Wild is taking pictures. You elect to ignore it. Time and Twilight look both amused and even more tired than before if only marginally disappointed in the two of you.

Sky takes a moment to calm down as he wipes a comedic tear from his eye. “Congratulations you two!”

You feel dumb struck enough to slowly sit back down. His reaction was one you were not expecting and it’s closer to a bucket of cold water dumped over your head. You feel dizzy and sobered up enough that you can feel a headache coming on already. “What-...what do you mean?”

Warrior stays standing.

Sky grins. It’s bright and blinding and you feel dread slowly pool in your stomach at the thought of it. He’s enjoying this too much. He coughs once, to clear up his throat before he speaks once more. “You’re soulmates. That’s why you can hear each other. Not that we wanted to hear that but there you go.”

Some people clap and it rings in your ears. Warrior blushes again.

Now what?
