Summary: Zelda doesn't like a lot of things. She doesn't like her father’s rules. She doesn't like getting waterlogged in holy springs. She most definitely doesn't like her newly appointed knight. And she doesn't like to lose. So when she learns about Cucco, a game soldiers like to play in the barracks to get under each other's skin, a game in which Link is undefeated, she’s determined to come out victorious. Trouble is, Link doesn't like to lose, either. What could go wrong? (What could go right?)
rated E for sexual content, language. I will update the tags in ao3 as I post. First few chapters are tamer (T/M rating), and I'll indicate in the notes when it's earned that explicit rating.

Chapter 14
Preview:
But there is more to it, she thinks. She'd told him she liked him with an opinion and she’d meant it. Never mind the instant lust spike over being right about his humanity hiding beneath all that perfect blue—he’s proven to be fascinating. Nightmares, numbers in his head, distrust of the tech, declarations of trust; he’s a maze she wants to drag her hand along until she knows him inside and out. Screw pressing down on sore spots with her thumb, she'd rather roll her hips.
