traveling together with link
pairing: link x gn!reader
tags: wholesome fluff, (implied) romantic feelings (link for reader), scared!reader acting tough/fearless, friends to lovers
both you and link had been traveling on your own, before the two of you even met for the first time
one evening, link joined you by your campfire as you rested for the night and the two of you realized you were both traveling hyrule on your own
so, you decided to team up!
with no concrete destination, your goal was to see as much as you could together!
during your trips, you often came across enemies or had to hunt for food and link always admired your strength and courage
you were often the one leading the expeditions and walking ahead to clear an area, despite link being plenty capable himself
link genuinely admired you, thinking he had found an equal in you – or maybe even someone who outshined him!
though one night by the campfire, the two of you were talking and you ended up confessing to link that you weren't as brave as he thought you were
you only pretended to be fearless, hoping that one day you really wouldn't fear anything anymore…
despite that confession of yours, link refused to change his mind about you!
doing the things you fear was the definition of being brave!
if anything, he only admired and loved you more now…
