This is why Legend and Hyrule were paired together.
The easy conversation
The joyful banter
and not to mention this beautiful moment:
THIS!! is exactly what Legend needed, this is exactly why these two were paired together!!
Legend needs an outlet, he needs someone that will return his banter and his harsh remarks against his brothers. He needs someone that will understand him. And who’s the one who can provide him that? Hyrule.
Hyrule doesn’t reprimand Legend, he doesn’t yell at him or think little of him he’s just there. He’s just there to explore the dungeon and have fun with Legend and that’s what he needed. If Legend was partnered up with anyone else it wouldn’t have played out like this. They would’ve gotten into an argument right in the beginning as Legend talked about Wars.
But that doesn’t happen here because he’s with Hyrule, who won’t take the bait but instead pursue the conversation on why Legend thinks this way about Warriors and Wild. Hyrule even starts the conversation about knights cause he knows it’s on Legend’s mind.
Hyrule knows his brother, and he knows what he needs in the moment. And i think this update perfectly shows how Hyrule is able to work around Legend and his abrasive attitude, this update shows how different Hyrule is from everyone in the way he treats Legend. He doesn’t hold him up on a high standard because that’s his brother but also his predecessor, he looks up to him sure but he knows that first and foremost Legend is his brother.
Time was able to see this as well, he knew what he was doing putting Legend and Hyrule together. Time is able to read everyone, hence why he put Sky and Twilight together after Wild confronted him. It’s why he put Hyrule and Legend together because he knew that Legend needed that outlet, Legend needs Hyrule because he’s the only one who understands him to an extent.
There’s less for Legend to be worried about as well because he knows that he doesn’t need to worry about Hyrule! Two peas in a pod! Hyrule is capable of himself as is Legend (another reason they were put together) so they’re able to roam around and be silly as much as they want cause they know how to be responsible when the time is right.
If you can’t tell this update really did a number on me, I just love downfall duo so much..
Pairing: Dark Daddy!Rafe Cameron | Naive Little!Reader.

Rafe does not like his little girl smelling like anyone or anything other than him.
But she's too stupid to understand it, even though he has explained it to her many, many times with all the patience he could muster.
So now?
He will teach her.
"Daddy, please–"
"Shut up" a cigarette dangled from Rafe's lips as he pushed the younger in the bathroom by her hair, the force he used causing her head to loll forwards.
"B–"
He pulled her head back roughly to level her ear with his mouth. "Not one word, little girl" she had been too engrossed with pleading her case to notice where he had brought her. But now that he pushed her inside the shower, the girl looked around her in confusion as her body scrambled about due to the raw strength it was being subjected to.
She resisted the urge to voice her distress, knowing how easily irritable her boyfriend became when he was unhappy.
But this, this was something new.
Y/n had no idea what was brewing in his head but with the rather ample knowledge of how creative and cruel Rafe got during the times when he felt like she needed adjustment or maintenance, she could not help but feel scared.
Even though her boyfriend always assured her that he was the only person who she wasn't to fear because all he wanted to do was to protect her since she was too little and dumb to do it on her own, it did not feel that way when he got angry.
Like, right now.
Rafe took a drag of his cigarette before exhaling the smoke in her face after turning her around with the grip he had on her head. "Smell yourself" Y/n blinked up at him in confusion at first but hurriedly grabbed her shirt when he raised a dangerous eyebrow at her. "And tell me, what do you smell like?"
Tears glistened in her eyes at his tone and she whimpered, ducking her head a little and moving the shirt up the rest of the way until it touched her nose. Her hands trembled as she took a sniff.
"Well?"
These kinds of situations were tricky.
She never knew what he wanted to hear.
And wrong answers only damned her further.
The girl opened and closed her mouth a couple times, unsure. Rafe shut his eyes and took a deep breath, the action causing her to panic as she raked her mind for an answer, aware that he did that whenever he was struggling to remain composed.
And he only bothered with that for her.
"Sweetheart" he cradled her face closer with his other hand, the nicotine stick between his fingers dangerously close to her cheek. "My question isn't gonna answer itself…" The sudden tenderness in his words as he tried to remain as calm as he could manage caused her to sob in both guilt and fear, shaking a little as she spoke.
This was why Y/n was one of those girls who preferred not to piss their Daddies off.
Rafe was too scary when he got like that.
"... D- Dunno… D- Daddy…" His features scrunched in annoyance and he craned his neck back to take a long drag of his cigarette, causing her bottom lip to wobble.
It was only after he had exhaled did he chuckle slowly, nodding to himself. "Of course, how could I forget?" Looking back down at her, he wiped her tears with the pad of his thumb, nails scratching her scalp in a comforting manner where he held her hair. "You're too stupid to know anything, aren't you, baby?"
The girl went to agree just for the sake of pleasing him but before she could respond, he was hauling her under the shower head and hitting the handle at the coldest setting.
"So let me just teach my little girl this time around."
Y/n screeched as heavy drops of ice cold water splashed against the top of her head and then the rest of her body like millions of tiny shards of ice, trickling down the rest of her alarmed skin in a way that stiffened every muscle in her body.
Her spine tightened inwards.
"DADDY!" Half of her cry drowned under the unrelenting burst of the shower head, her hands weakly trying to tap and push at his hard arms that did not budge.
Their strengths were incomparable.
The sizes of their bodies did not and would not matter regardless of how big or small she was.
Rafe was too strong, especially when his mind numbing rage was pumping through his veins.
Like right now.
"I know, baby, I know" he was unfazed by her gasping and thrashing around for air and comfort as he sucked at his cigarette, his buzzed head glittering with the droplets that had sprayed on him. "You wanna thank Daddy for making the effort to set you straight, I know."
Y/n's lungs burnt for oxygen as she choked on the icy water, blindly tapping about with widened eyes that stung under the chilling water. Her nostrils ached whenever she tried to breathe, since the unforgiving water seeped in quicker than the air she so desperately needed.
A loud, strangled gasp escaped her when Rafe jerked her out by the hold he had placed on her neck, bringing her face in close proximity to his so she could hear his menacing whisper.
"Since you are too stupid to remember that I don't like it when you smell like anything other than me everytime," to make matters worse, you smelt like your male bestfriend's -whom Rafe could not stand to save his own life- body spray. "Maybe if I show you what will happen the next time I smell asshole on you, you will actually try to use that tiny brain before getting close to anyone other than your Daddy."
The male remained unbothered when she coughed out water in his face to try and clear her system so she could speak, the drops causing his cigarette to hiss. "S- Sorry– Daddy- Sorry–"
Rafe snorted. "Oh, yes. Sorry you will be," her eyes widened and she screamed only to have it get muffled again when he pushed her back under the unforgiving stream, "by the time I get done with you." It was not that he didn't trust his baby or doubted her loyalty, it was everyone else.
The fucked up world that was too dangerous for his precious little special girl.
Who seemed to brush his concerns and worries off like they were nothing.
Silly little thing.
He was not one to be taken lightly.
And she would learn that for good by the time the night was through.
"Hmm…" Y/n was shivering and wheezing when he pulled her away from the vicious downpour again. "Let's see–"
"Daddy, please! I am sorry! Swear I am!" He only cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow at her pleading sob.
"I told you to shut up" Y/n's heart hammered against her ribcage and breathing nearly ceased when he pulled her even closer, squeezing her throat for emphasis. "Didn't I?"
"Sorr–" she was too panicked and cold to properly process anything.
Rafe clicked his tongue in disapproval as he shook his head, snorting before sucking on his cigarette again. "Oh, bunny" using his free hand to push the drenched strands away from her face, he sighed. "Your little mind has forgotten all its manners, hasn't it?" And she was shoved under the water again.
"Constant back talk as if it's not already bad enough that you still don't smell like my good little girl" her nails were turning white from how they dug into the skin of his hand that forced her still.
Rafe kept her in for the longest duration this time around, only pulling her out when her body nearly went limp.
Though she was dunked back in the moment he saw light return to her eyes.
The male kept at it for a good few minutes, constantly stripping her of all dignity and freewill before allowing her a shred of solace only to snatch it away again the moment hope would try to rekindle in the flushed face that he adored so much.
As much as Rafe loved Y/n, he liked her best when she was in her place.
Which was under him and at his whim.
"Hm" he took a sniff of her shaking and panting tired form when he thrusted her body towards himself this time. "This will do" nodding to himself in approval he shut the shower off.
She was ordered to strip from her drenched clothes. The girl obeyed, the only task on her mind to make her Daddy happy again by pleasing him.
Because he was right.
He looked out for her and protected her all the time, the least she could was to follow her rules and be good for him.
Daddy was always right.
"You're lucky I care for you, baby" her uncontrollable tears were warm against her cheeks in contrast to everything else. "So I will teach your pea brain the same old thing again" discarding the finished cigarette, he reached for his belt before undoing the buckle.
The girl just stared at the floor quietly; trembling and meek.
Though she could not maintain the silence for very long and was forced to break it when her chest rumbled at the sight of his belt snaking out of the hoops of his jeans. Soft sobs fell from her lips as she hugged her arms.
Oh, no.
"Go ahead now~" Rafe nodded towards the door as he helped himself to a new cigarette. "In the bed, face down and ass up."
Nobody seems to understand Legend’s way of caring for others and i’m here to talk about it.
Legend “bickers” with his brothers…a lot..
But on a deeper level he only “bickers” with them because that’s how he shows that he cares for them.
When Twilight was on the verge of dying Legend was very prickly, he kept on arguing with others like Four and Wind for example. But we know that tensions were high during that time, he cares for Twilight, everyone does, but Legend just shows it differently.
When Legend points out to Twilight that Sky will “fall asleep on him” he’s saying he’s worried about him. He knows Sky is competent but that scare with Twilight still left its marks on the others. Legend just wants to make sure that no matter what Twilight will be okay during this dungeon crawl.
When they first enter the dungeon Legend starts to argue with Wild, Wild’s never been in a proper dungeon before and Legends only looking out for him in his own way. But in a way that people see as “petty disputes”
Time seems to think that these are all petty disputes, but in reality it’s just Legend looking out for the others in his own way. He has trouble expressing his emotions properly but with this method he’s able to get his point across quick, with some setbacks of course.
Which brings me to talk about how Hyrule knows how to handle Legend, Time puts them both together for a reason. And Hyrule is WELL aware of this reason as well,
Hyrule knows he’s paired with Legend because 1) he’s just as experienced as Legend is and won’t need to be reprimanded as much, and 2) Hyrule is closest to Legend, therefore he knows how to read him in a sense.
That’s HIS predecessor and he knows that Legend won’t pick fights with him as easily. Hyrule’s a meditator when needed, he’s probably well aware as well that this is Legends way of caring for everyone else. It might be poorly executed sure, but he knows that he means it with all the kindness in his heart.
Sky knows Legend doesn’t hardly mean any of the stuff that he says and Twilight is slowly getting there as well,
Sky KNOWS bullies, Twilight knows bullies as well, they BOTH know Legend isn’t a bully, Twilight is still coming to terms with that because he’s a protector, he takes care of those younger than him and hates to see others get bullied.
Legend by definition isn’t a bully, he just has a different way of caring for others and someday the others will see that as well.
these two were absolutely PERFECT to pair together, i remember saying that Sky isn’t one to make Twilights injury a big deal and the first thing he talks about is Legend, not Twilight or how he’s handling, just their little brother
This is so beautifully done i genuinely think im gonna cry, Sky knows how to care for Twilight without explicitly doing it. i just know these two are definitely going to bond more with this, if it wasn’t for them knowing legends secret then i definitely think they would’ve bonded here first
ALSO Twilight checking up on Sky instead, Sky is the constant butt of Legend’s reprimands and this is know. Twilight is quick to shut this down and check up on Sky even though he doesn’t need to. They both know Legend is all bark and no bite and know that he isn’t a bully. Sky is fully capable of taking care of himself but he lets Twilight ask him if he’s okay.
THESE TWO ARE THE SWEETEST. I need more Skylight interactions.
twilight being paired with sky is actually one of the best decisions time has ever made.
sky is one of the most skilled sword fighters in their group twilight is also really skilled as well, theyre more likely to get the job done efficiently without any setbacks
theyve had bonding moments, theyve worked together, sky is less likely to constantly worry about him than others (warriors..) and putting twilight with hyrule would be obvious of what hes trying to do so you better believe that while twilight is shocked hes paired with sky, its appreciated cause he probably knows too that sky is the best option
and sky doesnt have to use his words either, he can protect twilight with just his sword, and it wont come off as overbearing or anything cause this is what they’re supposed to do
twilight already had his suspicions of being paired with someone like warriors, you can see it clear as day on his face
twilight probably wasnt expecting it either, and now he knows that time isnt trying to be overbearing, just like wild told him
time also had his eyes set on sky from the beginning with his talk with wars
warriors is trying to tell him he’ll watch over twilight with hyrule, but then time glances over and immediately looks at sky, he knew who he would pair with twilight, and overall it was the best decision hes made.
