20 and Legend?
😘 Prompt game!
20 is Alone, Finally
***
The Chain, and Legend hated that name, and hated Four for coming up with it, and hated Hyrule's giggling every time someone said it, and hated—
And wow! Okay! Yeah! Maybe he was in a mood, huh? Even for him.
The Chain had been together for five days and Legend was slowly losing his mind about it.
There wasn't anything in particular wrong, anything specific anyone had done. It was just everything. It was so many people being around all the time, it was every task taking longer, it was waiting on people and being on their schedules, it was having to be switched on all the time in case someone talked to him, it was that they were strangers. Eight exhausting strangers meant someone was around all the time.
Fortunately for the sake of his increasingly threadbare nerves and patience, they had stopped early today to avoid arriving at whatever town Warriors was directing them to at an inconvenient hour. Which meant even with the endless cycle of chores and maintenance and 'getting to know each other' horrors, he finally had some time to fuck off.
And fuck off he did.
Alone, finally.
For about forty glorious minutes before Wind found him.
"Hey Legend, you busy?"
Din give him strength.
"Yes. " Legend was busy not doing whatever the fuck this was.
Wind decided he was not, "Can I borrow your fire rod? Wars said I can't use his."
He didn't want to know what that was for. "No."
"Lame. Hey, Time said he had an ocarina, did you want to come bug him to show us how to play something?"
Legend was going to kill a man. Legend was going to kill a child.
"No."
"Aren't you bored? Everyone is being so boring."
"No, Wind," Legend bit off, trying not to alienate the entire group he was now stuck with less than a week after meeting them by tearing off the head of the team baby, "I am not bored. I was having a nice time not being in each other's pockets for a single fucking hour."
"But it's great? Isn't it amazing! Meeting heroes from all over!"
Legend just glared at Wind and attempted to set him on on fire with his mind. Wind remained stubbornly un-immolated, and instead squinted back at him for a long moment.
"Oh, you're one of those people," the kid said with the deepest disgust.
"What the fuck do you mean—"
"It's fine, accommodations must be made," Wind waved haughtily, "I'll go tell Captain Teamwork we need to leave you your lonely horizon staring time or you'll murder us all in our sleep."
And before Legend could formulate an answer to that Wind was gone again.
